Early Purchase, Early Enjoyment

George the dog-head was curious about the world on his side, but being held here, he couldn't learn more. Looking at George's actions, he was taking this opportunity to 'recruit talent' here, not very interested in ordinary humans, but very concerned about beings with non-human characteristics.

Perhaps such existences naturally possessed some special passives?

Not to mention anything else, George the dog-head, wearing the police uniform of this world, should have a sense of smell no worse than a normal dog.

So, it was better to slip away. After returning to Longcheng and getting a license, he would contact anomalies while also being a civilian mist walker. He didn't believe that other anomalies appearing in the great fog would also have this situation, being apprehended as soon as he arrived.

"Leaving? Then hurry up," George the dog-head said directly. He was mainly trying to retain those with specializations, not people like Zheng Yichen. Those with specializations were highly sought after in many industries in this world. The person with scales would be very stable working in the marine field.

As for humans like Zheng Yichen... it wasn't that they couldn't stay, but there were simply too many humans.

One more or one less made no difference.

Thus, Zheng Yichen was sent back to the previous location, and the confiscated items were also returned: "It's fine to walk through the path and come back, but returning after more than half an hour has passed is a violation."

George the dog-head reminded Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen directly entered the mist. Looking at the surrounding environment, his luck wasn't that good. This time, he appeared in an unfamiliar environment, but a place with very humid air. In the mist, he could see some moving figures.

Nearby, there were also some 'people' lying on the ground, covered in scales. In this environment, Zheng Yichen could clearly feel his 'body sensation' change again. If before, in the dog-head's world, he felt his body was exceptionally active, then here, he felt the environment was 'active'.

He could vaguely sense the 'water vapor' in the environment, not the feeling of normal environmental humidity.

"..." Without any hesitation, Zheng Yichen retreated and left. Although he had the idea to explore further, his main priority was to return to the world he had lived in for a long time after his transmigration.

"Oh? Took the wrong path?" George the dog-head looked at Zheng Yichen, who had returned, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm a bit curious. Since you want to recruit people, why don't you just go and recruit them directly?"

"That's useless," George the dog-head said bluntly. "Those who can't actively pass through the rift have too poor adaptability."

"Understood." Zheng Yichen ran back into the mist. George the dog-head watched Zheng Yichen's retreating figure, a hint of thought appearing on his dog-like face. Other people who could pass through the rift would be quite tired after repeatedly jumping back and forth in a short period. This fatigue was mainly caused by the pressure from the rift.

Zheng Yichen, however, seemed completely unwearied. Was his adaptability too excellent, or was he hiding his strength?

George the dog-head did not wait for Zheng Yichen to return again.

Returning to Longcheng for the second time, Zheng Yichen felt a bit emotional. George the dog-head's side only had mist at the location where the rift appeared, while Longcheng was known for its year-round fog. Would this fog and the fog covering the rift have any similarities?

Zheng Yichen didn't know, but he knew that Longcheng was definitely a place prone to 'rifts'.

After returning, Zheng Yichen immediately found a place to hide until he was 'found' and driven away by the security personnel who had sealed off the scene. The security personnel were quite impatient with Zheng Yichen's attitude. After they sealed off the scene, the civilian mist walkers started playing hide-and-seek.

They still hadn't found all of them. Not only that, but they also had to rescue some mist walkers who had fainted while approaching anomalies and clear out active anomalous creatures nearby. As for those anomalous creatures and the fainted mist walkers, a hefty rescue bill would await them later.

The ones who were awake were mainly for driving away. Confiscating their equipment wasn't necessary. The anomalies in Longcheng's fog were not a secret; as long as the network aspect was managed well, it would be fine. Moreover, thanks to the existence of these civilian mist walkers, local research on anomalies had made considerable breakthroughs.

With more people filming, someone would eventually capture scenes that were difficult to capture.

After managing to get away, Zheng Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and put away his phone.

Night Banquet Bar.

The bartender raised an eyebrow slightly as Zheng Yichen arrived: "You didn't bring a chicken, you brought a few big rats?"

"What's wrong with big rats? Big rats are also mutated." Zheng Yichen shook the bag in his hand.

"Alright, follow me." The bartender's gaze shifted away from the bag. The big rats inside had been cleaned by Zheng Yichen when he brought them, so they didn't emit any unusual stench. This polite gesture was quite good.

He led Zheng Yichen to the backstage area of the bar and, wearing gloves, re-examined the big rats. The bartender was quite surprised: "Good technique, all killed with a single blow."

The fatal wound on each big rat was a piercing wound to the head. It wasn't from a firearm, but rather from something like a spear. The big rats weren't slow-moving. If Zheng Yichen could accurately pierce their heads, he had to admit he had underestimated the young man.

After confirming there were no issues, the bartender promptly pulled up the previously taken photos, printed a license, and then stamped it with a seal. After laminating it, he handed it to Zheng Yichen: "From today onwards, you are a 'Hunter.' I wish you a long journey on this path."

Those who didn't have a long journey all died.

The process of obtaining the license wasn't complicated. This world was already in the internet age; how much trouble could getting a permit be?

Zheng Yichen took out his phone: "I also have a close-up recording of the anomaly. Do you accept it here?"

"En? The anomaly that appeared yesterday? Its specific value depends on how much useful information you've captured." The bartender took out a form, which listed the purchase prices for anomaly recordings, ranging from twenty yuan to two million. The actual value depended on what was captured near the anomaly, the clarity of the footage, and so on.

Zheng Yichen took out a portion of the recording. Among it was a part showing George the Doghead emerging from the mist. He had filmed it with his phone, so the picture quality naturally wasn't as clear as professional equipment, but such a large dog-headed person...

"You're really lucky. Recordings like this usually start at fifty thousand yuan." The bartender didn't ask where the rest of the video was and directly stated a price: "You can try selling it to other research institutes. We don't primarily deal in acquiring such videos. We charge a 5% commission for acting as an agent, which might seem high to you, but we are absolutely trustworthy in this regard."

"That generous? Can you explain in more detail?" Just by filming George the Doghead, they were offering such a starting price? Wouldn't professional equipment filming be astronomical?

The bartender chuckled softly and threw the gloves he had just taken off into the trash can: "If you want to know more details, that will cost money. It ranges from five thousand to five hundred thousand yuan."

"Of course~ You can also choose to explore on your own. When buying information, the sooner you buy, the sooner you enjoy."
