It's not certain if it will come over.

Giving up the license he had just obtained in exchange for a chance to join the system—how was he supposed to choose? If he hadn't fully entered an Anomaly and experienced another world, he would have seriously considered it. After all, things are easier to handle when you're part of the system.

The frequency of Anomalies appearing in Longcheng was not low. Roy hadn't said much, but he had tacitly admitted that some "things" would crawl out of the Anomalies. Those were creatures from other worlds, and they weren't all as easy to talk to as George.

Some carried intense hostility, which meant his frequency of encountering Abnormal Creatures wouldn't be low. Living like this wasn't bad either.

But all of this was predicated on not knowing these things. Now that he knew, he had more ideas. In other words, he had become a bit conceited and had higher aspirations.

"Understood. But you can still do it if you change your mind." Roy didn't mind Zheng Yichen's refusal. He had seen many Novice Hunters; those who chose this path all had their own ideas to some extent.

Some could keep going, while others, after being beaten by the reality of the situation, would see things clearly and join the Countermeasures Bureau. The Bureau didn't take just anyone, either. Obtaining a Hunter license only required the ability to deal with Abnormal Creatures and the corresponding accumulation of experience.

As long as one had the ability, anyone could obtain a Hunter license, even those with criminal records. However, they would be approached by law enforcement for a "good talk" before obtaining it.

The requirements for the Countermeasures Bureau, besides ability, were that one's personal background had to be clean enough. The people at the Bureau often did work that overlapped with the police, which was why they had such requirements.

"Got it." Zheng Yichen glanced at the Giant Rats around him. The Fishing Rod in his hand performed continuous Stab attacks, each one killing a Giant Rat. Roy's expression couldn't help but turn strange.

At first, he thought Zheng Yichen was an expert, but as the Giant Rats were cleared out, he gradually realized that Zheng Yichen was only extremely precise with his Stabs, while everything else seemed quite ordinary.

Oh, his physical fitness was also excellent. After all, he had unleashed over a dozen bursts of speed and didn't look winded. He was a wild-card hunter lacking fundamentals, but it had to be said that Zheng Yichen's choice to specialize in one attack method was very correct.

Lacking fundamentals didn't matter. As long as the specialized attack was honed to a certain degree, the lack of fundamentals could be compensated for in a roundabout way.

As long as his attack speed was fast enough to severely injure or even kill the enemy in one strike, there would be no room for his other shortcomings to be exposed. Enemies couldn't observe Zheng Yichen from an observer's perspective once they were dead. Of course, such specialized techniques were also easily countered.

"Are there any tougher ones? I want to try."

"...No, you just stay here." Roy looked at Zheng Yichen with disapproval. A Lancer like Zheng Yichen, who lacked all-around fundamentals and was useless aside from his physical fitness and fast, precise Stabs, was only fit for guarding a point.

Those Giant Rats were pouring out of the sewer drainage outlets. With Zheng Yichen guarding here, he could hit them one by one. Why go anywhere else?

The deeper areas were not suitable for a Novice Hunter.

"Is there a bonus?"

"Of course there is, and some other things too." Roy gave a few instructions and then left. Besides Zheng Yichen, there were other members of the Countermeasures Bureau here. Zheng Yichen only needed to be responsible for precisely killing any Giant Rat that ran out.

Those that couldn't be finished in time would be wiped out by other officers. However, after clearing the initial wave of the riot, the number of remaining Giant Rats wasn't high. They would only dart out suddenly when people weren't paying attention, and Zheng Yichen's reaction speed was fast enough to keep up with these sudden movements.

Left behind, Zheng Yichen stabbed a Giant Rat that had darted out and tossed it aside. He felt a bit unsatisfied; he wanted to deal with larger Abnormal Creatures. These rats were too weak, and because there were people around, he couldn't just drain them dry.

He could drain at most one-fifth of their blood. It felt like eating a snack and throwing away the rest after just one bite. Even if the snack didn't have much nutritional value, it was still a waste.

Zheng Yichen looked longingly in the direction of the Anomaly, feeling conflicted. He really wanted to sneak over there right now to see if this Anomaly was truly connected to another world, and if so, what form that world took, and so on.

It was just too curious.

More intense sounds of gunfire erupted. Roy walked out of the mist. His neat police uniform was now disheveled, and there was half an arrow stuck in his shoulder—a Bone Arrow.

"Stop guarding here!" Roy came to transfer people. Obviously, there was a serious problem with the anomaly, making the cleanup of those abnormal creatures secondary. Zheng Yichen poked and killed a giant rat that had rushed out, stimulated by the smell of blood.

"Did something run out of the anomaly?"

"A group of things." Roy didn't waste any more words with Zheng Yichen. After transferring and arranging the people here, he answered Zheng Yichen's question. He quickly came to a police car, opened the trunk, took out a bottle of medicine, poured out two pills, and swallowed them. The pained expression eased.

He glanced at some firearms in the trunk, reached out, and grabbed one: "How's your marksmanship?"

"I just finished registering and was planning to buy a gun to practice. I can practice now!" Zheng Yichen's tone became eager.

"..." Roy's hand paused. He silently put back the gun he picked up and replaced it with a rocket launcher. He didn't intend to give this to Zheng Yichen but kept it for himself. Under Zheng Yichen's somewhat disappointed gaze, he closed the car trunk again.

He didn't mean to give him a gun.

"Don't misunderstand. If the situation were controllable, I wouldn't mind lending you a gun. It's just that the scene is quite chaotic now. You should use your very good weapon."

Is that why you didn't give me a gun and just switched to a rocket launcher? Zheng Yichen flicked the fishing rod in his hand and clicked his tongue, feeling a bit displeased. After arriving at the scene and seeing what was there, he was even more disappointed.

Something did run out of the anomaly, and it was quite fierce. But this time, what ran out wasn't a living creature, but some rotten meat and skeletons!

"Does this kind of situation happen frequently?" Zheng Yichen looked at the skeletons holding bone bows. Those things were definitely skeleton soldiers, right? And some corpses and other things. Which fantasy world did these come from?

As a transmigrator from Earth, he thought of many possibilities the moment he saw those things.

"Not really." Roy shook his head, directly carrying the rocket launcher, aimed at the skeletons that ran out of the mist, and pulled the trigger. The explosion of fire didn't completely disperse the mist, but it successfully blew the hit skeletons to pieces. Under the impact of the aftershock, nearby skeletons also became scattered, but those skeleton soldiers didn't die completely because of it.

Their heads were still moving with a clattering sound.

Roy's shot wasn't the most impressive. Other places also had strong firepower suppression. Zheng Yichen saw a burly man, whose police uniform was stretched to the point of almost bursting, holding a six-barreled Gatling gun with a huge ammunition box on his back. When the gun barrel swept across, it was like swinging a long chainsaw.

A large number of the undead creatures that ran out of the mist fell down in a heap, like harvested wheat.

"..." Looking at this scene, Zheng Yichen silently looked at Roy, who didn't seem embarrassed.

"If you had any experience with guns, I would have lent you one. Also, as you can see, firearms don't have that much effect on these creatures."

"But cannons do." Zheng Yichen looked at Roy's rocket launcher. Guns were indeed passive against skeleton soldiers. Even if they hit, they would only break one or two bones. Shooting their legs? Skeleton soldiers' legs were much thinner than fleshy legs.

The burly man harvested a large number of skeleton soldiers, but their bones didn't completely die. Some of their upper bodies were still intact, and they could still wave their bone bows to attack from a distance.

Zheng Yichen thrust out the fishing rod in his hand, flicked it at an arrow, and knocked the bone arrow away.

"Impressive." Roy praised him as he watched this scene. The speed of those arrows was not as fast as bullets, but being able to intercept and hit them with a stab was already excellent.

At the center of the anomaly, they saw a huge head. Although obscured by the mist, the head's presence was so strong that it attracted everyone's attention.

It was a skull as large as a truck. Blue flames burned in its eye sockets, sending chills down one's spine. Huge wings were faintly visible in the mist. Without a doubt, this was a standard bone dragon...

My god, did the Lich King invade another world? Isn't that the Burning Legion's job??

Zheng Yichen couldn't help but swallow, thinking if he had the chance to poke that thing, he wondered if he could extract some bone marrow from the Skeleton...

"Can the firepower here handle that guy?" Zheng Yichen gripped the Fishing Rod in his hand. He didn't get a response and looked at Roy. Roy had already placed the Rocket Launcher he was carrying on the ground and was using his communication device to call for support, too busy to answer his question.

So Longcheng had been in dire straits all along??

"What did you just ask?" After Roy finished his call, his expression relaxed considerably.

Zheng Yichen repeated his question. Roy shook his head, "The firepower here is enough to clear out those 'dead' things, but it's definitely not enough to deal with that big guy."

"I just asked the experts. If we directly attack that big guy, we'll be wiped out. But if that big guy comes towards us, our firepower is enough to hold him back!"

Huh? So there's some inside story here? He wanted to ask, but Roy directly dismissed him, saying the latter was classified information and that if he knew too much, he would be forcibly conscripted.

The Bone Dragon in the depths of the Anomaly moved. A ghostly blue aura pierced through the mist, gathering in large quantities, and then it took a deep breath towards them!

"Evade!!"
