Colin saw, beneath the hazy glowing shadow, another figure.

But upon closer inspection, he realized it seemed to be Vanessa…

This… was it possession?

Colin roughly judged the situation.

At the same time, the hazy glowing doppelgänger directly approached the bonfire, first glancing at the bonfire, then turned back to look at the Bonfire Envoy whose status was theoretically at the same level as his own:

“Good evening, ‘Bonfire’ sir, you seem to have something to call upon me for?”

If it were not for hearing someone calling her, she might not have come for a private meeting this week, because her true body had already delved deep into the heart of disaster…

Though operating a doppelgänger didn’t greatly affect her, it was best to stay focused during such times and not be distracted.

However, for this fellow traveler, after finding a relatively safe area, she split off a doppelgänger and came here through Vanessa…

“Yes.”

Colin nodded without much pleasantries and went straight to the point, “There are mainly two matters; first, I would ask for your assistance in my training, oh no, rather to help enhance my strength…”

“Enhancement of strength?” “Vanessa” tilted her head to one side, her gaze resting on him, signaling him to continue.

Her first thought was that the other party wanted a long-term blessing to strengthen themselves, then carry out some other task, but it seemed the request was not just that?

“Yes, I’ve learned one thing from this brief tenure as an employee: my abilities are limited. The more tasks I carry out, the more I feel my inadequacies. If I content myself with now, sooner or later I’ll fall in some unexpected adversity, so I seek to become stronger. Only then might I have a chance to survive…

Colin slowly conveyed his epiphany, then said, “I would like to ask for your help, to further develop my experience and weaknesses through combat methods…”

Although ‘The Light Chaser’ company’s authority level was slightly low and she was a bit greedy, no one could deny her formidable combat strength, making her an excellent choice for enhancing one’s power.

Of course, he had also considered seeking the help of someone like Old Master Wu, but considering the massive costs of these people using extraordinary abilities, which might lead to losing control and dying explosively in training, he had to look elsewhere…

“Ah… sorry, I’m actually not very good at fighting.”

Upon hearing Colin’s words, Shana had intended to simply decline, but what Colin said next made her choke…

“Six thousand points…”

“Eh?” Shana blinked, stunned for a moment.

Having had one transaction experience with him, she knew he could indeed produce such a large sum of points.

Although already inclined to accept the task, and even beginning to recall previous combat experiences to identify areas in need of guidance, those points…

They were a bit too much…

Beyond just the training, there couldn’t be any other requirements, right?

She had to negotiate it down; otherwise, she’d feel uneasy earning so much…

However, just as she was about to speak, Colin realized something and preempted her rejection, raising his hand and saying:

“I know, for you, such time-consuming and laborious tasks… six thousand might be a bit low. Let’s make it eight thousand…”

“So it’s… ah??”

Shana was about to settle for that price but paused in confusion upon his response.

When Colin raised his hand, she initially thought that he elevated the points so high just to attract her attention, then once she leaned towards agreement, he’d use some tactics to push down the price.

Such ploys were often seen in the markets.

But she truly did not expect the price to rise instead of fall, from six thousand to eight thousand…

And before she could even voice an opinion, she saw a mission prompt appear.

[“654321” has completed the mission “Priority Enhancement Project”…]

[You have received “Bonfire Points 8000”, which have been transferred to “Storage Room (with a 10% service fee deducted)”].

“Ah???”

Shana’s eyes widened; she hadn’t even agreed, so how had the mission been completed and transferred?

The next second, an inspiration clarified the reason…

This was a unilateral type of mission; strictly speaking, it wasn’t a transaction, and essentially, the mission’s content was just the other party stuffing money into her pocket…

Completing it was all that was needed.

“Can tasks really be done like this?”

In the distance, amidst the dense darkness of a ruined city, Shana sat atop the head of a gigantic, mutated monster.

She rifled through her little pocket and looked at the sudden appearance of 7200 points.

The entire occurrence left her in an indescribable silence…

Adding on to the three thousand-plus points she had saved up from living frugally over time, she now had over ten thousand points on her!

The 500 points she had saved over a year or two made up only a tiny proportion thereof.

What she received from this “Divine Envoy”…

It was more than all the points she had earned over her entire lifetime in the crusades!

“This…”

Shana had never been so affluent in her life…

But if it was simply to develop some combat experience, let alone eight thousand, even eight hundred or eighty felt like it would have been sufficient…

After all, in her view…

Colin, no matter how tough, wasn’t as hard to handle as the disembodied Ancient God she had defeated for eight hundred points.

In comparison, a so-called “Ancient Deity” was worth eight hundred points…

This session of teaching was valued at ten “Ancient Deities”!

But before she could ponder any further, through her doppelgänger, she heard the distant voice of the Bonfire Envoy.
