Chapter 197: Chapter 185: The Raven

Soon, the TV character’s face returned to the screen.

و: "Got it. It was actually quite simple. Just need to go to the combat item distribution interface, find an unused item with a similar price, and then link it with the competition rewards..."

Chen Xiao waved his hand to cut the TV character’s rambling short, "Ah ah... I’m not interested in hearing how you cheated and schemed... Come on, show me what you got!"

"You can’t just decide not to want it after seeing it!" said the TV character.

"Huh? What’s this now, forcing a sale on me..."

"Isn’t it easy to understand? Although getting you some extra items is within my authority, ultimately, it’s not done by the book. If you’re not satisfied and just decide you don’t want it, then I’d be left holding the

"Ah..." After hearing this, Chen Xiao hardly hesitated: "Alright, alright, let’s do it your way."

Of course, his current level was C. If he managed to get an A-level item during this phase, even the lowest end of A-level, it would definitely be a "get-rich-overnight" situation.

Then, the TV screen shook, and an item’s description emerged.

--------------------------------

Biological Repair Gel:

A concentrated form of a biological repair fluid, can repair all kinds of organic damage to machinery, corrosion, toxicity, burns, chemical harm, and eliminate a number of parasitic phenomena. At the same time, it can clear residual creatine in tissues, relieve physical fatigue, and restore muscle endurance. (Ineffective against mental damage and cannot regenerate missing tissues.)

This product is in capsule form. Once ingested, it can quickly spread throughout the body via the digestive tract, and it can also dissolve in most liquids. Through experimentation, the effect is weaker and less noticeable when dissolved in 300m³ of liquefied water and above.

Activation time: 3—10 minutes, varies depending on individual enhancements.

Specifications: 3 capsules per package

Replenishable

Replenishment location: Order Foundation’s various branch medical centers. Cost, 1000 points/3 capsules/each time.

"Hmm——————"

Chen Xiao stared at the item description on the TV screen, "hmm-ing" for a long time.

"This is just a low-grade ’Senzu Bean’..."

Err~ okay, that’s just a jab, but it does give a good idea of what the item does. Remember the last time Chen Xiao’s artery burst and he was soaked in that 200-point repair chamber? This thing is like shrinking that repair chamber into a capsule size, and it’s even been made digestible! Even in the event of some strange situation during a mission where the injured can’t eat anything, dissolving this capsule in water and soaking the person in it can produce a similar effect. Plus, the activation time is much faster than the repair chamber alone, and it seems like it can quickly replenish the user’s energy.

To put it simply, pop a capsule when you’re almost beaten to death, and in a few minutes, you’re as alive and kicking as ever, ready for round two.

Compared to some nonsense like bulletproof suits or suicide revolvers, these capsules are the real lifesavers. And they are even replenishable... although a bit expensive.

"... That’s a pretty decent item!" Chen Xiao muttered, quite satisfied: "By the way, are these the things those A-level guys use for missions?"

The TV character’s face appeared and nodded (๑¯∀¯๑): "Hmm... of course not, this is considered quite useful even in the A-level area. It’s not the same as the hemostatic spray you’re currently using..."

"Uh..." Chen Xiao put on a dead-fish eye expression as if he had taken a hit, "Can we not mention the hemostatic spray..."

Suddenly, he froze.

"Right!" Chen Xiao said, and then he put on a very serious face, "Since you have such high clearance, could you do me another favor..."

The expression on the television changed "Huh? This is the best combat gear I could get!"

Chen Xiao shook his head, then reached into the inner pocket of his suit and pulled out a card.

The card was completely black and looked quite ordinary, except for a white line drawing of what seemed to be a raven on it.

Chen Xiao held the card in front of the television screen and said, "About this card... what do you know?"

...

...

The expression on the television froze for about a second.

"The... The Raven" Σ(°△°|||)︴!!!

"The Raven? What’s that?" Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Don’t just make cute faces—look, you’ve added so many exclamation marks, you must know something!"

"Hmm... I indeed know some things." The television’s expression also became... unprecedentedly serious!

(̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄

"The Raven... That’s the entire name of the organization!... It is an organization established in the name of an individual, so there is no record of it in the Foundation’s archives. The organization doesn’t have a fixed meeting place, and its members rarely meet each other—it operates very discreetly. Therefore, not many people know who its members are. It’s also unclear what exactly they’re doing..."

Listening, Chen Xiao fell silent for half a second: "That said... uh... please don’t take offense, but you’re not really saying anything useful... and what’s with that serious expression, huh? From what you’re saying, this organization might as well be a ’Foundation Senior Friendship Center’ or something!..."

"Wait, I’m not done yet." The television immediately said, "Although this organization operates in secrecy, there are still many legends about it circulating among the higher-ups,

One thing that can be confirmed is that the organization has been around for a very long time, so long that it could be traced back to the origins of the Foundation.

Furthermore, there are only 7 people in this organization! They all consider themselves ’intelligent individuals.’ It could be said that these are potentially the 7 smartest people in the world, and they might all be within The Raven!"

"Oh~" Chen Xiao seemed to show a bit more interest, "A gathering of intelligent people, huh? Hehehe, sounds interesting. What do they do when they get together... play chess all day long?"

"Maybe they play a game or two when they’re bored. However, the more common belief is that whenever these seven people meet, something happens that’s enough to change the world’s state of affairs!"

"Hehehe..." Chen Xiao cracked a smile again, "Yeah, if they really are like that bespectacled shorty, and there are seven of them, they really could mess up the world... Hmm... But back to the point, what exactly does this card mean?"

The television hesitated for a moment: "I don’t know, but I have a guess... this card is an invitation! That is to say, someone from The Raven might want to invite you to join the organization..."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "Uh... but you said they always only have 7 people... could it be..."

The television followed on: "Yes... maybe something happened, and now there are only 6 of them left, so The Raven are looking for someone they deem worthy enough to join..."
