Chapter 1170: Queke’s ’Gift’, Clues to Promotion (Two updates for monthly passes)

Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Queke’s ’Gift’, Clues to Promotion (Two updates for monthly passes)

The main control device of the double-layered warehouse, which was isolated, came with network cards in terms of hardware, but Queke had uninstalled the network card drivers and castrated the networking functions of the system, completely cutting it off from the internet.

He Ao guessed that Queke probably didn’t know where the hardware network card was or didn’t want anyone else entering his ’warehouse’ to meddle with the main control system; otherwise, he wouldn’t have just stopped at uninstalling network card drivers.

After unplugging the data cable connected to his bracelet, He Ao looked towards the densely packed shelves in the warehouse and spoke quickly, "Optimize the security system and search for any information related to ’Pseudo-Wolf’, ’Half-Person’, and ’Silver Mallow Grass’ in the entire warehouse."

These were the names of transcendent creatures related to ’collaborators’ that he obtained during his Divine Inspiration from the God of Order.

In theory, the storage facility of the Minte City Federal Bureau of Investigation should only contain sealed items up to level 4, which is roughly D-class Extraordinary Items.

But since Queke had turned the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s storage into his private stash and even secretly promoted himself to C-class, the possibility that he still strictly adhered to the Bureau’s regulations was practically zero.

Of course, He Ao didn’t really expect to find these items; he was just trying his luck.

Having operated for so many years, it was possible that Queke had indeed collected some valuable items.

The directors of Minte City might not guarantee their integrity, but they definitely had capabilities.

"Search complete,"

Eve was very fast, responding to He Ao’s inquiry almost instantly, "Two related pieces of information found."

Ah?

He Ao was slightly startled.

They actually exist?

He Ao’s wrist vibrated slightly, indicating that Eve had directly sent the information to his bracelet.

When he accessed his bracelet, two item descriptions popped up.

The name of the first item was ’Half-Person’s Blood’.

This was one of the transcendent materials needed by collaborators mentioned in the Divine Inspiration.

He Ao felt the same surprise as someone who buys a scratch card by the roadside, scratches it randomly, and wins a second-tier prize.

Alongside the item description of ’Half-Person’s Blood’, there was information about Half-Persons.

Half-Persons are C-class monsters that live in the southwest of the Federation. Their bodies appear as if split vertically, leaving only one foot, one hand, and half of a head, moving forward by hopping on the one leg.

Half-Persons have a peculiar trait: they can only be seen from the front; from the side, they appear non-existent.

Some believe they are undead creatures, corpses that have been resurrected, while others think they might be some sort of mutated beings resembling humans.

Generally, Half-Persons exhibit the characteristics of living beings. They disguise themselves as innocent victims attacked by exotic beasts, luring and killing living people wandering the wilderness.

Anyone who looks into their eyes becomes charmed, losing the will to escape. They can be injured with weapons made of Mithril, and it’s said that eating their flesh can rapidly heal wounds.

Beneath the information about Half-Persons was the detail regarding ’Half-Person’s Blood’.

Half-Person’s Blood (50 ml):

[A milky white liquid. After drinking more than 10 ml, it is effective for C-class Transcendents:

After consumption, it temporarily eliminates the consumer’s intense emotions and provides a certain amount of wound healing effects. The specific effect varies depending on the user’s condition.

Excessive use of ’Half-Person’s Blood’ gradually leads to the loss of emotional control.]

This ’Half-Person’s Blood’ wasn’t originally from the inventory of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s warehouse; it must have been collected by Queke.

’Eliminating intense emotions’

When He Ao saw this description, he roughly guessed why Queke wanted to collect it.

Queke’s Talent Sequence was ’Terrorist’, a spreader of fear and also a victim of it.

People around the Terrorist uncontrollably experience the fear spread by the Terrorist. At the same time, the Terrorist is influenced by this ’fear’, becoming twisted and extreme, tending towards stimulus-driven, frantic slaughter, eventually descending into madness.

As one of the Talent Sequences with the strongest combat power at C-class, Terrorists are also held captive by their own power.

Even He Ao’s near-flawless promotion was still significantly affected mentally.

Given Queke’s power, it is highly likely that his promotion was not as smooth, and the impact he suffered was probably much stronger than He Ao’s.

His mental and willpower not as strong as He Ao’s, in the end, Queke could only rely on external Extraordinary Items to maintain his Reason.

But Extraordinary Items themselves come with a ’price’.

Narrowing his train of thought, He Ao finished reading the remaining information about ’Half-Person’s Blood’.

This item was stored on the 7th shelf of the third floor.

He Ao walked directly to the nearby staircase.

With 50 ml of ’Half-Person’s Blood’ remaining, he hoped it would be enough.

At the same time, his gaze moved to the information about the second item sent by Eve.

’Pseudo-Wolf’s Broken Tooth’

He Ao’s gaze paused, and he continued reading.

The information about this item was quite simple, as if it was a direct, hand-written record.

[While searching for transcendent materials in the northern mountains of Minte City, witnessed two B-class exotic beasts fighting, hid and waited for both exotic beasts to leave, then picked up a tooth.

[It is presumed to be a broken tooth of a wolf-like exotic beast, closely resembling the Pseudo-Wolves described by Wilderness Wanderers nearby.]

[To prevent being tracked by the Pseudo-Wolf, the tooth was collected and the mission was abandoned, quickly leaving the area.]

[The tooth is extremely sharp and can easily pierce through C-class alloys. It might be possible to inlay it into a weapon, but one would need to find an excellent weaponsmith or pay a hefty sum to hire a mechanic from Albert Intelligent Machinery to do the forging.]

Following was a photo of the item — a wolf tooth about twenty centimeters long, with undulating cracks at its top.]

The image below shows that the item is stored on the third floor, twelfth shelf.

Gazing at the picture, He Ao’s thoughts paused slightly.

The fang could easily pierce through Grade C alloy, implying the Pseudo-Wolf itself must be a Transcendent creature far surpassing Grade C.

Grade B? Or close to Grade B?

’Divine Inspiration’ mentioned Transcendent materials such as ’Pseudo-Wolf’s Eye’; many Transcendent creatures’ extraordinary powers are concentrated in their head organs. Could this eye be the focal point of the Pseudo-Wolf’s extraordinary power?

Then, this eye might indeed be Grade B material.

Being Grade B themselves, could ’Pseudo-Wolf’s Eye’ be the main ingredient, or one of the main ingredients, of the ’Synergist’s’ Secret Medicine?

As He Ao entered the third floor of the warehouse, his thoughts raced.

The ’Pseudo-Wolf’ actually roams the northern mountain range of Minte City?

Suote’s memory contained information about the northern mountain range of Minte City.

That place is teeming with active Transcendent forces, inhabited by a myriad of powerful Transcendent creatures. It is one of the Federation’s regions with the highest density of such creatures, including B-grade exotic beasts.

In the annotations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the northern mountain range of Minte City was also marked as ’extremely dangerous; do not enter unless absolutely necessary.’

Logically speaking, it would be normal for a mountain range teeming with Grade B creatures such as the Pseudo-Wolf to exist.

But it is precisely in the northern mountain range of Minte City that He Ao needs the main material for his promotion, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation happens to have clues.

Is it the attraction between similar Transcendent forces at work?

Shaking his head, He Ao stopped in front of the seventh shelf and stepped in,

"Eve, search the Minte City network for all information on ’Pseudo-Wolf’ and check if there are any Transcendent items in the warehouse with healing effects."

"Searching now."

Eve’s voice echoed in his ears shortly after.

There were not many items stored on this shelf, and He Ao quickly located the Mithril test tube containing the milky liquid on the third floor.

This test tube was placed on what seemed to be a peach wood rack, covered by a crystal shield.

Below the item ’Half-Person’s Blood’, it mentioned such things as the method of sealing for the ’sealed item.’

He Ao removed the crystal shield and reached for the Mithril test tube filled with the milky liquid.

As he touched the test tube, an invisible force spread around him, calming his emotions.

A slight sense of drowsiness surfaced in his mind.

This is the ’influence’ emanating from the Half-Person’s Blood, which uncontrollably induces ’drowsiness.’

But this drowsiness had barely entered He Ao’s mind before being completely dispelled by the turmoil and contamination brought about by the Bloody Slaughter Knife and the Chaos Wand.

He Ao casually pocketed the test tube.

Then he quickly walked to the twelfth shelf, which only held ’Pseudo-Wolf’s Broken Tooth.’

This broken tooth didn’t have any spillover effect; it just looked extremely sharp and was suspended on the shelf with a Mithril bracket.

After some consideration, He Ao directly took the bracket down.

Then he raised his bracelet.

Eve had finished the search, submitting the relevant information to his wrist device.

Firstly, about the Pseudo-Wolf: indeed, legends of the Pseudo-Wolf exist on the internet of Minte City, but the information is scarce.

Some say this exotic beast isn’t large, human-shaped but with a Wolf Head, while others claim it to be massive, capable of swallowing a person whole.

In these legends, the one constant is the Pseudo-Wolf’s pair of yellow eyes. Anyone who gazes into these eyes disappears.

It seems this eye might indeed possess unusual characteristics.

He Ao looked towards the second piece of information sent by Eve.

This was information about ’healing items’ in this warehouse.

Queke must have made quite some money over the years; the warehouse even contains a healing item that is effective up to Grade C – an empty syringe named ’Excitement Syringe.’

Using this syringe to draw full blood and inject back into the body would grant a continuous wound healing effect for the succeeding eight hours, after which the effect would vanish, followed by a continuous injury-afflicted negative status for the same duration of eight hours.

This syringe can only be used once a day.

He Ao found this syringe nestled inside a white metal box.

He Ao took the whole metal box with him.

All these were personal items Queke had stored here.

Even if they weren’t personal items, given He Ao’s current authority, in such an emergency situation, he could directly utilize the Transcendent items from the Minte City Federal Bureau of Investigation’s warehouse. There was no need for compensation for any damage or depletion; just filing a report would suffice.

But it must be said, Queke indeed found quite a few good items.

After collecting the items, He Ao had Eve search again, making sure there was nothing else needed. He then went downstairs and left the warehouse.

——

Northern Mountain Range of Minte City

The man clad in a fur coat raised his head, looking ahead to the slender path illuminated by the setting sun’s afterglow that threaded through the narrow valley.

Behind him, several Wilderness Wanderers wearing old Exoskeleton Armors quickly approached.
