Catastrophe Containment Facility
Chapter 309 - 307: A Scratch

Chapter 309: Chapter 307: A Scratch

At the Hunter Headquarters, besides that gym, there are other various facilities for enhancing superpower users.

These things were very useful for Wen Wen, so he didn’t want to leave the Headquarters for the time being.

He planned to seize the opportunity at the Headquarters to strengthen his abilities as much as he could and make full use of his time there.

His daytime activities were fulfilling, consisting mainly of running around the whole Headquarters. If he discovered a novel facility, he would try it out, or he would sit in on classes at the school of the Headquarters.

Yes, sit in on classes.

Apart from places like Furong River City that lacked superpower users, most branches with an ample number of people would send newly awakened superpower users to the Headquarters for training when they were found.

Although superpower users were rare, the number became significant when considering every city in the Capital, so there was ongoing education for superpower users every day.

The education process lasted seven days, and during this time, Wen Wen tried to sit in on as many classes as possible. Most of the courses were of no use to him, but a minority of the knowledge could be immensely beneficial to him.

If a course was useless, Wen Wen would just read materials borrowed from the Headquarters library on the spot. If the course was useful, he would listen attentively.

As for the strange looks he got from the other students and teachers, Wen Wen didn’t care at all. His code name was already "Pervert," so there was nothing he couldn’t face.

All Rangers had the right to sit in on classes, but apart from Wen Wen, no one else would swallow their pride to do so.

Or rather, they did not need these basic courses, whereas Wen Wen had never been exposed to such education, having figured everything out on his own.

Perhaps everything in this course was useless to Wen Wen at his full strength because he could rely on his power to handle any trouble.

But if one day, Wen Wen’s strength was limited, then this knowledge would be the capital he used to establish himself in the Superpower World.

Aside from the beginner’s courses, there was one place that kept Wen Wen coming back for more, a health management salon.

There were specialized Pharmacists here to adjust the bodies of superpower users. Many superpower users seemed strong, but their bodies actually had many issues, which were merely suppressed by their own strength.

Like that "Vajra Indestructible" superpower user of the True Order Realm...

After the treatment, Wen Wen felt as if he had shed a massive burden. Carrying the abilities of other monsters had always been a strain on his body.

However, what interested Wen Wen the most here was not the miraculous effect of the treatment, but the shop’s mythical item.

’A handy Itch Scratcher’

Yes, it was the same exorbitantly priced Itch Scratcher that Wen Wen had seen on the Demon Hunter website.

Skin scratched by this Itch Scratcher would never contract any skin disease again and would have the ability to resist all kinds of toxins and pathogens.

Most importantly, after being scratched, the skin could become as hard as iron when needed, and completely normal when not. Any scratched area had this ability.

It could be said, with a good scratch from this Itch Scratcher, one could make an iron-skinned person!

No wonder this item, despite being a Disaster Level Containment Item, was worth a fortune.

And the Itch Scratcher was available for rent; as long as the appropriate Demon Hunter Currency was paid, a Ranger could enjoy the service of the Itch Scratcher!

So, Wen Wen spent over twenty thousand Demon Hunter Coins to have himself completely scratched from head to toe, not missing any part, which also gave his ordinary state an exceptional defensive capability.

It’s a pity that Wen Wen was single, unable to utilize the full functionality of this Itch Scratcher.

This was Wen Wen’s arrangement for the daytime, come evening, he would return to the Sanctuary and immerse himself in the study of the three runes brought out from the Underground Palace.

While studying, Wen Wen could only switch to the state of Calamity Prison Supervisor, because in his normal state he couldn’t even remember these runes.

Even in the role of Calamity Prison Supervisor, Wen Wen could only slowly unravel the mysteries of these three runes. It wasn’t that the Prison Supervisor’s power was insufficient, but rather a matter of expertise, requiring persistent and meticulous effort.

The greater the difficulty, the more it proved the immense value of these runes. Without question, these runes were at least at the Catastrophe Level. If Wen Wen could engrave them onto a weapon, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the weapon’s performance.

Besides the runes, the two monsters captured from the Underground Palace had both fallen into a languid state. After being isolated from their mother entity at the Sanctuary, they became less lively.

But Wen Wen didn’t care about them. Catching these two was simply for the purpose of enriching the Sanctuary’s collection of monsters.

In the Underground Palace, bolstered by their numbers, they could stand head-to-head with nearly two hundred Assimilation Realm superpower users, but taken individually, they wouldn’t measure up to monsters of the same class.

During his training downtime, Wen Wen sometimes would lie on his bed, flipping through old family photographs one by one.

He suddenly fancied the idea of returning home for a visit.

...

"Mr. Feng, when can I go out to hunt demons?" Heng An sprawled on an expensive sofa and asked Feng Ruixing across from him.

With a headache, Feng Ruixing rubbed his forehead and said, "Lord Black Cross has assigned you to follow me. Your identity will come through in a few days. Can’t you be a little more patient?"

"I can’t settle down. Every minute, every second, I want to find those guys and make them pay," Heng An said slowly, staring at the ceiling.

"So... do you know how to find them?" Feng Ruixing sighed and asked.

Heng An was at a loss for words, but he quickly regained his determination, "I don’t know where they are, but I believe that as long as I am willing to search, I can find them!"

Indeed, by that time, Heng An had already left the Sanctuary and was following Feng Ruixing at Wen Wen’s behest.

Although Heng An’s power was formidable against other superpower users, if the superpower users he needed to confront sent ordinary humans to trouble Heng An, he would likely be unable to deal with them.

After all, being cut off from all superpowers also meant that he would have difficulty obtaining superpowers himself, which didn’t give him an advantage in combat against ordinary people.

In timely fashion, the SRS Foundation had just opened a new security company, and Wen Wen planned to let Heng An train there.

The man in the metallic suit could only teach him how to deal with superpower users, while the security company could teach him how to better handle ordinary people.

For Heng An, Wen Wen had a concept in mind, which was to let him execute containment tasks alongside the security company. The company’s professionals would handle threats from ordinary humans, while Heng An dealt with the superpower threats.

Of course, that was merely an idea, and to implement it, there were still too many difficulties ahead.

"I’m not holding you back, but you are only powerful against superpower users. For now, I can’t allow you to perform containment tasks on your own. The foundation has a security company, why don’t you train there for a while?"

"A security company?" Heng An frowned and said, "Can a security company handle monsters?"

Feng Ruixing shook his head and said, "No, but they can teach you how to deal with the malice of this world. The company’s backbone is composed of individuals I spent a lot of money to bring in, including retired special agents and assassins, as well as top bodyguards and special forces soldiers who have carried out special missions."

"Once you complete their training and surpass them in all aspects, I will let you leave on your own to seek your enemies."

Heng An thought for a moment, then agreed, "Well, I’m still young, so there’s no problem. But don’t you need to train as well? After all, you’re weaker than me."

Feng Ruixing chuckled, "No need, as long as I can make money, that’s enough for me."
