Newcomers' Gathering, Teaming Up

Yang Yu and Yin Nu became D-level Contract Anomalist.

As for Du Jiashi, although he also completed many missions with them, he was limited by the strange level of his contract.

The Anomaly Containment Association has never raised his level of the Contract Anomalist.

After all, if he wasn't an E-rank Contract Anomalist, he wouldn't theoretically be considered a newcomer.

Therefore, he might be assigned to a solo mission.

Even if a weak Contract Anomalist improves their level, it's just sending them to their death.

Du Jiashi could understand.

If the Weird Courier contracted by Du Jiashi possesses offensive capabilities, then even if the Weird Courier is at the level of Vengeful Spirit, he can still be promoted to a D-rank Contract Anomalist.

Unfortunately, the current Weird Courier only has storage capabilities and has not yet developed offensive capabilities.

Therefore, according to the assessment of the Anomaly Containment Association, Du Jiashi's strength was insufficient to be promoted to a D-level Contract Anomalist.

After Zhang Lin and the others learned of this, they kept comforting him.

"That's right. The ability to store items is very rare, and space itself sounds like an extremely powerful attribute. Once you cultivate it, you'll definitely dominate the battlefield."

Du Jiashi nodded. "Thank you."

Zhang Lin, supporting Zhao Hun to prevent him from collapsing from exhaustion, asked, "Do you want to lie down in the infirmary?"

Zhao Hun nodded. "Please, Brother Zhang, I can't walk anymore."

Zhang Lin took the person to the Medical Department.

Fortunately, this was just exhaustion; Zhao Hun didn't have to lie down for long before he was fully recovered.

The group gathered in the area Contract Anomalist, and enjoyed a barbecue and camping trip in a scenic spot with a lake.

"This is my first time camping indoors." Du Jiashi took a bite of the incredibly delicious beef provided by the Anomaly Containment Association, which was raised in the Vaser Dungeon. The beef was very tender and extremely tasty.

He took another sip of cola and let out a comfortable sigh.

Zhang Lin was grilling lamb and chicken skewers there.

Xu Rou and Yin Nu grilled and ate at the same time, preferring seafood and vegetables.

Zhao Hun and Yang Yu were still clinking glasses, seemingly enjoying orange juice, but somehow it made them feel like they were drinking alcohol.

Yang Yu took a bite of the lamb chop, and the meat and juices burst in his mouth. He chewed it a few times with enjoyment and swallowed it.

"Indeed, it's rare that we have time to gather here for a meal, and it's also a celebration of Zhao Hun finally becoming Contract Anomalist."

Cheers!

"Hahaha, cheers!"

The six of them gathered together, laughing and chatting as they ate.

The bond between Contract Anomalist is that simple; in their spare time between missions, they always find things that bring them joy.

Otherwise, being constantly affected by the eerie atmosphere and maintaining a tense mind will cause the Contract Anomalist's mental state to deteriorate.

This is why the Headquarters of the Anomaly Containment Association has so many entertainment facilities.

"Well, we haven't had any missions lately, so how about I take you out tomorrow to see if we can find any suitable strange creatures?" Zhang Lin said to Du Jiashi.

Du Jiashi nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhang."

"What's the trouble? They're all companions."

After Zhang Lin was promoted to C-Class Contract Anomalist, he was basically qualified to go on missions independently. However, for safety reasons, the Anomaly Containment Association suggested that Contract Anomalist below B-level should preferably act in teams, such as two people per team or three people per team.

Of course, you can insist on going alone if you want.

However, going alone increases the risk significantly.

Anomaly Containment Association force Contract Anomalist to do certain things? Some Contract Anomalist are just aloof and prefer to solve tasks alone rather than team up with others.

The Anomaly Containment Association is quite tolerant of this type of Contract Anomalist.

The six of them had a meal together and were also reminiscing about how much they had experienced in just over ten days; it felt like several years had passed.

Their shared experiences also deepened their bond.

They are now lamenting that as their strength increases, one day they will part ways, each going to different teams, or acting alone to complete their missions.

The time when the six of us gather together like this will probably become increasingly rare.

Xu Rou and Yin Nu had both experienced hardship, and their personalities were very compatible. Xu Rou even doted on Yin Nu as if she were her own younger sister.

Yin Nu also relied on and trusted Xu Rou.

They've decided to team up, and even if they choose to join different squads later, they'll probably join the same squad together and won't separate.

Yang Yu hasn't decided who to team up with yet.

Yang Yu stated that his abilities are more geared towards support, and he needs a teammate with strong offensive capabilities.

Currently, apart from Zhang Lin and Xu Rou, the attack power of the others is much weaker.

Du Jiashi's abilities are more support-oriented, requiring a teammate with strong offensive capabilities to cooperate with him.

As for Zhao Hun, his contracted strange attack power is quite good, and he has both group attacks and single-target attacks, but he has only recently formed a contract with him and has not yet mastered the ability.

Currently, Zhang Lin has stated that he will take Du Jiashi to find the supernatural, and may team up with Du Jiashi for a period of time.

Yang Yu: "Then I'll team up with Zhao Hun."

"Is it possible?" Zhao Hun scratched his head. "I'm not quite able to control these strange abilities yet."

Du Jiashi: "Everyone starts out like this, but you gradually get the hang of it."

Zhang Lin: "Yeah, at first I couldn't use my abilities, but now I'm fine, aren't I?"

Xu Rou: "It's okay, take your time."

Yin Nu: "I also have the ability to go berserk."

Zhao Hun: "Then I'll do my best, I definitely won't let you down, partner."

"Okay, then I'll wait."

The two men clenched their fists together, looked at each other, and laughed.

Xu Zhou passed by the rest area of Contract Anomalist.

Smelling the aroma of barbecue, he turned back after already walking past the rest area.

"Ah, it's you guys."

Xu Zhou waved to them.

"Senior Xu Zhou."

The newlyweds greeted him with much greater respect.

Even Zhang Lin treated Xu Zhou with great respect.

Because Xu Zhou is now a B-level Contract Anomalist.

Moreover, his control over the Ghost Hand has reached a very high level of proficiency, and his combat power is astonishing.

Each individual task was completed very well.

Occasionally, when they bumped into them at Headquarters, they would also give the newcomers some pointers on how to control the supernatural.

They also benefited greatly, and naturally developed a deep respect for this senior.

Xu Zhou touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He used to be a newcomer, but now he's a senior.

However, seeing the respectful yet admiring looks in the eyes of these younger generations, Xu Zhou felt that this feeling was not bad.

"Senior Xu Zhou, did you just finish your mission? Would you like to eat together?"

Xu Zhou thought for a moment, deciding there was no rush to write the mission report, so he nodded and sat down to join the newcomers' dinner party.
