Chen Quanxu had always hoped that Wu Youren could improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.
Even though the opponent's combat strength was already quite good, he felt it was still far from enough.
He has many things he wants to do, but the boy needs to reach a level comparable to Divine Might Knight before he can really let loose and try.
However, he had already used up all the resources he had to help the boy improve.
Wu Youren didn't care. "Let's play it safe and develop first. If we go too fast, I'm worried that Little Ha will cause trouble again."
He believes the most urgent task is to figure out the methods of Parasitic Weird, mainly because it is unlikely that there will be similar opportunities in the future.
The other six people had different feelings about Manna and Luo Xi being favored by the Yongning Chamber of Commerce.
Some people don't care, but others are envious, like Kenpa.
He's already middle-aged, so the chances of him reaching Great Knight status are slim, and he's basically at his limit in Red Pine.
If I can join the Yongning Chamber of Commerce, my future path might be easier.
However, the current testing—well, it's quite meaningful—is acceptable for now.
But he still took the opportunity to casually remark to the boy, " Luo Xi's got a bit too ambitious."
Wu Youren was focused on playing with the Little Ha, seemingly not paying much attention.
But in reality, in his heart, that person had become the next potential destabilizing factor.
Luo Xi's attitude towards him was already somewhat subtle; to be precise, she hadn't completely shaken off her original preconceived notions.
He was not just a student, but also a timid hostage from the state of Jin, who was once very poor.
He did indeed have contact with Wu Youren when he was still in his humble beginnings.
Although I witnessed his rapid growth firsthand, it was so fast it seemed unreal.
But perhaps, maybe, possibly—precisely because it's happening so fast, some preconceived notions are not so easy to shake off.
Another important point is that, so far, this person's position as a teaching assistant has not been confirmed.
His mindset couldn't be as calm as other instructors'; he didn't have a firm sense of following the established procedures.
As for other factors—perhaps there's something similar to Namuzha's: greed!
Luo Xi's family was quite well-off, and he had access to sufficient resources for cultivation. So why would he save up to own a used car?
If money is no object, you should buy two cars, one for summer and one for winter.
Even Kenpa noticed something amiss—though the middle-aged Knight probably had other motives behind his words.
Wu Youren was somewhat wary; however, as long as the other party didn't show any obvious signs, he would be patient for a while.
In life, one shouldn't be Taiji. You can't have too many friends, but you also can't have too few, right?
He believed that as long as the other party had not determined the cause of Namuzha's death, they would not hide their ulterior motives too well once they had any.
However, he had a different thought, "Is the number of infected people—almost not enough again?"
The instructors who could accompany him on his street sweeping mission were already in short supply.
The boy offered to go sweeping the streets alone at night, and if he found anything amiss, he could call for backup later.
Why not choose daytime? Because the Little Ha on his shoulder is just too easily recognizable.
Although he had official documents from the City Guard Bureau at the moment, without Red Pine's instructor accompanying him, he was still very likely to encounter trouble.
Just like last time when he was watching the spectacle, he encountered an awakened person treating him to a meal, which caused him quite a bit of trouble.
However, Daiqisi was the first to express her concern, saying, "Take me with you on the street sweeping trip; I won't cause any trouble."
That's quite interesting; she actually used the word "bad thing."
And indeed, that was the case; after they entered the city, the female instructor actually separated from him.
However, the two are not far apart, only two or three streets.
After more than ten days of sweeping the streets, two more infected people were discovered.
Feeling the efficiency was decreasing, Manna and Luo Xi returned just in time, and the two of them stopped sweeping and joined in the testing.
The weather stopped getting colder; winter is almost over.
On this day, Keluoge came to borrow men again, this time wanting to borrow four Knight.
Ranxue was the first to realize, "This test—it's not going to work?"
"The main problem is that we don't have enough death row inmates," Keluoge stated frankly.
"Last time, I already arrested a few homeless people to make up the numbers—they all had bad records."
"Also, the news has already spread. Ah, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever."
Undoubtedly, this news was somewhat disappointing, but no one bothered to argue about it.
Hong Da ago, and now that the deputy director doesn't support it, the research really can't continue.
Fortunately, everyone has already secured their credits, with each person having one case and still having some to spare.
In addition, their ability to sense Parasitic Weird has also increased significantly, which is equivalent to having another survival skill.
Putting aside other considerations, once the Parasitic Weird spreads, it can truly be a lifesaver.
Not to mention, if there are external investigation missions, they can also earn some extra money.
Manna and Luo Xi gained quite a few benefits during their stay at the Yongning Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce even proactively collected their contact information, indicating that they would consider bypassing the City Guard Bureau and contacting them directly should any future needs arise.
Keluoge said he didn't care; the City Guard Bureau was already overwhelmed with work.
He came from Red Pine, and helping his family expand their income sources would also earn him some positive reputation—why wouldn't he do it?
The four Knight went to assist the deputy director in the investigation, and this small Parasitic Weird research group was finally disbanded on the spot.
Wu Youren, Manna, Ranxue, and the male and female archers embarked on their journey back to Red Pine.
When they passed through the Rust Zone, the boy asked to get off the bus and leave, and no one found it strange.
He had said long ago that he would spend the entire winter in the wild.
Returning to the camp we left at—it was completely destroyed, with excrement everywhere proving it must have been the domain of some barbarian tribe.
for.
The good news is that some mechanisms were triggered, and the barbarians must have paid a price.
Most of the untriggered mechanisms remain—hidden under the thick snow, they are difficult to spot.
Some government offices were also dismantled, which is even more normal.
Wu Youren removed the untriggered mechanisms and rearranged them in a different location, more than fifteen kilometers away.
It took two days to set up the new camp, during which time the Scops Owl flew over.
After he finished setting up, Chen Quanxu spoke up, saying, "The three infected individuals are now basically under control."
Wu Youren didn't participate much in the testing this time, yet he stayed for so long; he had his own reasons.
With the attention of the Eight Knight and the City Guard Bureau, producing three prototypes silently is no easy feat.
Chen Quanxu's true form cannot appear on stage; he cannot control the situation on his own and requires the boy's cooperation.
He had identified several infected individuals in advance, and Wu Youren was finally able to extricate himself slightly from his street sweeping duties with Daiqisi.
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, the boy quietly made his move, following the directions pointed out by the small animals, and subdued them one by one.
He doesn't need to worry about what happens next.
The three infected individuals currently under Chen Quanxu's control are on their way.
All three are ordinary people, so they are not difficult to control, but they are also not fast travelers.
The middle-aged one-eyed man he previously controlled was once Knight, but his cultivation level had fallen to that of Knight Apprentice.
Controlling that one took him quite a bit of effort.
However, in Chen Quanxu's words, it was a very successful investment for him.
Without that person, he doesn't know how long it would have taken him to establish contact with Wu Youren.
The boy pondered for a moment before recalling his usual schedule, "Has Kelvin's situation been settled? I have a feeling Little Ha is up to something."
Scops Owl pondered for a moment before replying, "The investigation has been completed; his true form is currently in the direction of Bellflower Mountain."
"There are more puppets around, but it doesn't matter, destroying the real body is enough."
The area around Bellflower Mountain is a bit further than the city center of Tianjing.
Wu Youren didn't care much about that. He had already returned to his wild self and could try whatever he wanted.
What he wanted to know was, "To eliminate this kind of existence—specifically, this person—what method should I choose?"
"What do you mean by that?" Scops Owl, a little annoyed. "Of course we're teaming up, how could you think you're fighting alone?"
The boy was genuinely taken aback. "You're going to make a move too?"
"Who do you think you are?" Chen Quanxu snorted in dissatisfaction. "I can't lead the battle, but I can at least play a support role, right?"
"Of course," Wu Youren nodded, thinking to himself, "Just keep cheering, I won't hold it against you."
"Then I'll play it safe for the next couple of days and create some alibis."
"Anyway, let's do it as soon as possible," Chen Quanxu without adding anything further.
For five or six days in a row, the boy stayed in close proximity to the area, still turning on his phone once a day to receive the necessary information.
However, what made him somewhat uncomfortable was the significant increase in the amount of information from unknown sources.
I have to complain here; the smartwatch system in Liang is really terrible, it can't filter out all interference.
But—well, the Court of State Ceremonial seems to have enough authority to interfere; who can stop them?
"I'm Talis. Someone from the Intelligence Agency has gone missing, and you're a suspect."
Wu Youren completely ignored all of this; what did Sister Hua's disappearance have to do with him?
The real problem is that he's causing trouble for Kelvin; isn't this helping your Great Liang Intelligence Agency get revenge?
Among the random messages was a nonsensical one. "Want to go back to Jin? The price is negotiable."
The most outrageous one was, " Rogue Person of the Crown Prince's Household is interested in recommending you, young friend. Would you do me the honor?"
So, was the Liang's official system also a sieve?
It's really unbelievable. After giving the New Army some advice, the Crown Prince sent someone to try and win them over?
On the eighth day, Wu Youren did not turn on the camera, and the same thing happened on the ninth and tenth days.
On the eleventh day, Daiqisi arrived on her motorcycle.
However, once she found a nearby location, before she had even left the main road, she jumped out of the car.
