Ready

Wu Liang always managed to see that guy as his friend. Even though he knew he was an imposter, he couldn't bear to see Master being chased by others or impersonated by others, and he went crazy for a time.

Finally, having exhausted all other options, the group decided to split up and kidnap whoever they encountered, using their own abilities to do so.

In the end, they successfully tied up Mei Long and the imposter. Sheng Qingqiao and Wu Liang were unharmed, but the others were unable to tie them up.

After dealing with this guy, Sheng Qingqiao and Wu Liang became acquainted through their conflict, and the two even chatted for a bit after catching the imposter.

Sheng Qingqiao was merely marveling at the power of the organization's Master behind the scenes when Wu Liang cast an admiring glance at her.

Sheng Qingqiao suddenly realized how to deal with the lunatics in these organizations.

While Sheng Qingqiao was extremely busy, Tao Yuan and Mi Chuchu were also working non-stop.

They were relentlessly chased for three whole days by a strange bride, a strange groom, and a strange Black Cat in the Chinese-style Instance. Later, the Bai Family discovered their whereabouts and sent people to search for them, who were also chased by the monsters inside.

The two monsters, immune to physical attacks, were unkillable. Although they later discovered the chicken blood that could suppress the bride and the coffin that could suppress the groom, restricting their movements during the day, they were still constantly being chased by the Black Cat.

Needless to say, Qin Rang and An Ying were also attacked by that weirdo named Modian, who chased after them like a madman. Qin Rang had no choice but to use Colorless Fire, burning through the entire Theater Instance with flames.

Only after some of Modian's clothes were burned off did they realize that this strange creature was actually a lifelike Puppet.

The Puppet was afraid of fire, Qin Rang's Colorless Fire restrained him, and Modian was also injured as a result, causing the Instance to shatter.

After leaving the Instance, they continued towards Yangcheng, encountering many obstacles along the way. Although they didn't ultimately reach Yangcheng, they successfully drew away all the enemy fire along the way.

Meanwhile, the Authorities team that had secretly infiltrated the city had successfully entered Yangcheng.

What happened next was none of their business; their mission was complete.

How the Authorities want to gain a foothold in Yangcheng is their own business, and what follows will be a long-term tug-of-war that cannot be resolved in a short time.

They reunited at the Official Base, and the group collapsed in their meeting room, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Tao Yuan and Mi Chuchu fell asleep on the sofa. They had caught up on sleep on the way back, but all they could see when they closed their eyes were the eerie scenes from the Instance, making it impossible to fall asleep. They felt a little safer next to their teammates and were able to doze off for a while.

Knock, knock, knock.

Wang Ding knocked on the door and came in, but the room was quiet and no one paid him any attention.

He had large dark circles under his eyes, and seeing the room full of people slumped over, he laughed and said, "Wake up, everyone! Your latest physical exam results are in, and they're pretty good. We can upgrade all your weapons."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Qingqiao immediately woke up, her drowsiness gone. "Great! My sword can't keep up with the Instance I'm in anymore; it's even dull when cutting through monsters."

Wang Ding smiled and said, "My weapons have already been sent over. Elder Ju said he'll try to get them ready for us by this afternoon, so they can feel more at ease when we go to the organization."

Sheng Qingqiao looked pale. "Don't mention the organization, I'm stressed."

"Me too..." Tao Yuan raised her hand timidly, An Ying next to her nodded in agreement.

Qin Rang chuckled and said, "Alright, everyone, wake up. Business is important. Let's go take a look."

The group arrived at the Containment Department, the largest and most heavily guarded department. Most of the Weird Object were stored here, and they had to undergo multiple layers of checks before reaching their destination.

Wang Ding showed their physical examination reports to the group. The main test result was the energy concentration in their bodies.

Qin Rang's concentration of the substance within his body has reached A-Rank, which means he can use up to four A-Class Weird Object and two S-Rank Weird Object simultaneously. Although the rating hasn't changed, he remembers that he could only use one S-Rank Weird Object before.

Aside from him, the highest level is Tao Yuan, who is B+ grade and can use one S-Rank item or two A-Class Weird Object simultaneously.

The final result is that, apart from Sheng Qingqiao who didn't enter the Instance this time and Wang Ding who didn't leave, everyone else can now barely use S-Rank Weird Object.

"Your progress is simply terrifying. It's only been a few days, and you're already using S-Rank equipment," the person who tested them exclaimed. "If Wang Ding and Sheng Qingqiao's physical abilities weren't still within our original estimates, I would have suspected that the testing machine was malfunctioning."

"Tell me the truth, where have you guys been secretly training these past few days?"

Tao Yuan said expressionlessly, "So you were just chased by the weirdo for two or three nights, right? If you're willing, I can arrange some special training for you like that."

"... There's absolutely no need for that."

Wang Ding tapped the table. "Time is tight and the task is heavy. Let's go choose the Weird Object first. We can choose new Weird Object to replace our weapons, or we can choose Weird Object to use as materials to integrate into the Weird Artifacts we're currently using."

"Let's level it up first, and then we'll go find Boss Lin or other Artifact Forger for further refinement."

"Good."

Before long, everyone found the Weird Objects they wanted, signed the papers, and took them home to get some sleep. On their way back, they encountered the Head of the Tao Family and Director Chen, who also had dark circles under their eyes.

Tao Yuan asked, "Mom, haven't you been sleeping well these past few days?"

In Tao Yuan's memory, Tao Yun had always been elegant, mature, and composed; she rarely showed such exhaustion that even makeup couldn't conceal.

"... The organization allocated ten spots, and you've taken six. The remaining four have been hotly debated for days, with no resolution yet."

"Although the organization is mysterious, it shouldn't be enough to make those people so envious."

Director Chen said, "Because that Dessert Chef came again yesterday. This time she gave us the exact time and even showed us what we could exchange after the cooperation."

"What?"

"One of the things you've seen and eaten is the Dessert Chef's desserts."

The group recalled the candy they had eaten in the neighborhood, the strawberry cake, and the cookies they had submitted to the Authorities for research.

"But it shouldn't be that bad..."

"The one remaining chance for prophecy for the Fate Seer."

"A prophecy?" The group exchanged bewildered glances.

The Head of the Tao Family said, "This is the real reason why these Family Clan also want to join."

Qin Rang asked, "Predicting the future? Do the Authorities really believe in that?"

Director Chen said, "If the teleportation ability is real, then why can't we believe they have the ability to predict the future?"

Qin Rang nodded slightly in agreement. They had heard Bai Yang talk about the abilities of the Fate Seer many times, and he felt that the organization had no reason to lie.

"Since these Family Clan also want to take this opportunity to infiltrate the organization, haven't they considered replacing us? That would free up a lot of spots."

"Of course, they suggested that only the captain of the Calamity Crossing Team needed to go," Tao Yun said with a smile. "But the Dessert Chef locked him in her hat, and he still hasn't thrown it up."

They couldn't help but laugh and chuckled to themselves.
