Chapter 257: Chapter 257 The Content of the Letter_1 Chapter 257: Chapter 257 The Content of the Letter_1 “Congratulations on your safe return. The first issue is the demands of the Special Operations Department, which I am aware of, but unfortunately, it is not possible to directly trade the Gene Compensation Medicine.”

“The rules and agreements on the related aspects are very rigid unless a number of members with the highest authority unanimously vote for it, otherwise, the corresponding clauses cannot be changed or modified.”

“However, this doesn’t mean there is no room for cooperation…”

“I could employ some methods to add or transfer a large number of tasks to them, so they would be able to acquire a substantial amount of Points to exchange for the items they need…”

“Of course, this time it can’t be done like with you, it has to follow the official procedure.”

So it’s through tasks, is Miss Bunny in charge of tasks?

Colin couldn’t help but feel curious as he read the content above, recalling a similar experience he had had in “World Code-13.”

He didn’t ponder too much and continued reading.

Second issue: Earth’s official “raw materials” export—bartering to “purchase” items made by the Company using these “raw materials.”

This was exactly as Colin had guessed; the Company agreed to the trade.

And they told Colin that they would provide him with a detailed list later to discuss the Company’s demands and rules.

“A complete seller’s market, I suppose they would agree to any condition…”

Colin shook his head. Currently, only the “Company” possessed a highly mature capability of turning oddities into artifacts, so they could command any price they wished.

However, from his own interactions, he estimated that the “Company” probably wouldn’t be too ruthless…

He continued to read on.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the Special Operations Department should give you an opportunity to approach the ‘Book of Fate’ when you promote from Fifth Level Personnel to Sixth Level Personnel.”

“Then you can ascertain its current situation. It may not be the fastest method, but relatively speaking, it is certainly a very appropriate one that won’t cause too much reaction from the ‘Book of Fate’…”

“After all, observing it requires a seemingly plausible, albeit loophole-ridden, justification rather than a direct, rash approach.”

“What you need to do is to quickly improve your professional level within the other party.”

“The payment for observing it is that I will assist in smoothing the execution of the first two demands.”

Surely, Old Master Wu might have used an ability similar to the ‘Book of Fate: Fragment’ when talking to me. I didn’t say much, but he probably knew it all and has already started making arrangements…

Colin pursed his lips, looking at the last paragraph of this part of the message with some curiosity.

Why is Lady Bunny so concerned about the status of the ‘Book of Fate’?

Even willing to use the first two items as compensation?

Unfortunately, with just this information, it’s hard to conclude anything. After finishing the issues related to the Special Operations Department, the topic of Lady Bunny’s letter shifted to himself.

“Regarding your matters, the first is that starting today, you will receive an E level Gene Compensation Medicine injection every three days to complete the promotion. Then, if possible, you should initiate the task to obtain Level C Clearance before the Spring Festival arrives next year.”

“The second matter is about the ‘Box Garden Worlds.’ There are nine ‘Box Garden Worlds’ in total, which were once places where the Company contained and stored some rather dangerous things. However, due to certain reasons, many of them have lost control, and we are trying to transform them.”

“The reason you were targeted this time may be related to your possession of the ‘Firebearer’s’ power…”

“We have confirmed that a very troublesome entity has escaped from The Seventh Box Garden World. Not long ago, through the identity of the Administrator of The Seventh Box Garden, it briefly invaded the Company’s interior and took away some things…”

“As for its recapture and containment, it is now certain that all attempts have failed.”

“From what I know about it, it won’t stay quiet for long. Perhaps within the next six months, it will cause a significant disturbance. Its instinct endows it with the ability to observe weak points within balance and use those weaknesses to induce chaos.”

“However, we are still unsure exactly how it plans to proceed. We can only speculate that there is a high probability that it will attack Earth’s ‘cognitive barrier of reality’ to overturn the state of the world, leading everything into chaos.”

“Besides that, you don’t have to worry about it coming after you again before that trouble erupts.”

Colin muttered to himself the term “cognitive barrier of reality,” understanding its meaning just from the name—

He had previously heard from Qin Chuan and others that if people in an area are aware of anomalies, the frequency of anomalies in that region would exponentially increase; conversely, if there’s no awareness, the number of anomalies would decrease…

The hidden “cognitive barrier of reality” probably played a significant role in this.

“Looking at it this way, every ordinary person is a part of the barrier…”

Colin felt a shock within, realizing that overturning this barrier would not be straightforward.

Then, he glanced again at this part of the content: “Did they deliberately choose me because I wield a certain ‘Firebearer’s’ power? But I didn’t expect that, in the end, something would still escape, and it even dared to invade the Company…”

Colin pinched his forehead, the unease about the future increasing within him. He felt an even more urgent need to become stronger.

There were a few more paragraphs at the end of this letter, although not about the year 2044 he was most curious about. It did mention that the “Nano Intellectual Mechanism” was now fully bound to him and he could use it with confidence.

The next topic addressed the situation of The Light Chaser—

In short, it was just one sentence: The Light Chaser targeted him because of the large number of Points on him.

“Is it really for such a mercenary reason?”

Colin fell silent for a few seconds.

But according to Lady Bunny, the problem wasn’t significant, as apparently, The Light Chaser was part of what “Bonfire Company” had lost; it could be seen as a “subsidiary company,” belonging to that particular “Firebearer.”

Bound by agreements, it could only offer him “help” and could not harm him by any means…

In a sense, it could even be seen as an exclusive “special measure” for him.

The only downside was that it was somewhat costly.

Additionally, it would only help him with things within its capabilities. If he wanted to challenge an Ancient God or the like, the people there would turn a deaf ear.

Of course, Lady Bunny also expressed interest in this independent “subsidiary company” and would provide him with Three Hundred Thousand Points on his next entry into “World Code-13” to see if she could lure it out for recovery by the Company’s headquarters…

But that’s just to see if it could be lured. The main focus is still on the other lost “0-9 ‘Hunger.'”

The timing for the next entry remains unchanged, still next Monday, which is three days later, December 5th.
