Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 1363: Chapter 1361 Blood Moon (3)

Immersion is very important.

This is the valuable experience Wang Chen has summarized from multiple explorations of alternate worlds, and it has proven effective.

Cultivators from the Haotian Realm descending into a brand-new world often find it difficult to adapt to their new identities, unconsciously exposing their original habits and failing to blend into the unfamiliar environment.

Even those who possess memories of their predecessors often make the same mistakes.

This makes exploring new worlds extremely dangerous, especially in worlds devoid of Spiritual Energy where cultivators, deprived of power, are prone to encountering issues.

Some are even discovered by the strange natives, leading to tragic fates.

Wang Chen’s strength lies in his exceptional ability to adapt to a spiritual energy-deficient environment, using the power he has comprehended to step into the realm of the Transcendent, thereby gaining the ability to protect himself and even conquer the world.

Moreover, Wang Chen himself hails from a technological domain, so entering a technologically oriented world presents no cognitive issues.

Most importantly, he can perfectly match his new identity after descending, integrating memories seamlessly into the new world, without showing any signs of abnormality.

As long as Wang Chen is given enough time to grow, he will make this world tremble!

Breakfast, Ronan solved at a small street stall.

A beef burger, half a pack of fried fries, plus a cup of hot milk with sugar, costing him a total of 12 copper coins.

As a reserve officer at the third precinct of the Lower City District, Ronan’s current salary is 1 gold pound, 3 silver currency, and 25 copper coins, roughly equivalent to 2000 RMB in purchasing power from the previous world.

This 12 copper coin breakfast is undoubtedly quite extravagant for Ronan.

Unlike the original Ronan, who would never spend so much on breakfast—he calculated his expenses daily, and any overspending risked being unable to pay rent.

But now, Ronan’s thoughts are completely different.

For the current Ronan, restoring some power to survive well in this world before considering bigger matters is essential.

How can strength come from an empty stomach with inadequate nutrition intake?

A strong Divine Soul also requires physical support!

Devouring the steaming breakfast, Ronan felt both physically and mentally better.

Even the wound on his forehead no longer ached faintly.

Yet he hadn’t eaten his fill.

Patting the pocket holding coins in his upper garment, he strode towards the third police station.

Lande City is a port city, primarily divided into the Upper City, Lower City, port area, and suburban area, with a population of hundreds of thousands, economically prosperous and trade thriving, making it one of the wealthy cities in the Kingdom of Invia.

And the Lower City District has the largest population, subdivided into fifteen blocks, corresponding to fifteen police stations.

When Ronan arrived at the third police station, it was bustling inside, officers busy with their respective duties, and several men in shackles crouched in a corner of the hall.

“Eh?”

A female officer holding documents saw Ronan just entering, concernedly asked: “Ronan, why are you here? Didn’t Deputy Inspector Sean tell you to rest today and come back tomorrow?”

“I know.”

Ronan smiled wryly: “But today is payday!”

This female officer, named Selina, was the one who helped treat his wounds yesterday, with a sweet appearance and an alluring figure, the rose of the third precinct, with many admirers openly and secretly.

Ronan also knew her father was a minor noble, having good relations with Deputy Inspector Sean.

Selina smiled with pursed lips: “Yes, work hard, strive to secure a regular position soon, and your salary will double.”

The probationary period for reserve officers usually lasts three to six months, and if commendations are achieved or favored by superiors, early transition to regular positions is possible.

For instance, Selina’s probationary period was only one month.

Ronan nodded vigorously: “Mm.”

He acutely noticed several odd gazes falling on him, bearing a faint hostility.

Ronan was very clear about the reason.

Miss Selina, in a precinct with over 70% bachelor proportion, is truly too popular!

Simply speaking a few more words with her attracted others’ attention.

Whether as the original or current Ronan, he harbors no thoughts towards Selina, so he quickly apologized and headed to the precinct’s finance office.

Ronan signed and received his last month’s salary from a sharp-faced elderly woman.

1 gold pound, 3 silver currencies, and 25 copper coins!

The currency in this world is categorized by gold, silver, and copper materials to distinguish value, using embossing techniques for production, not only quite beautiful in design but also featuring anti-counterfeit serrations.

Gold pounds, silver currencies, and copper coins loaded into his pocket collided, emitting crisp, pleasant sounds.

Also granting Ronan a sense of confidence.

This paycheck is extremely important.

What he hadn’t expected was, just exiting the finance office, he ran into an old officer with a puffed chest and bulging belly.

Ronan stopped, saluting: “Good morning, Officer Hart!”

The short and stout big-nosed old man before him is the senior officer at the third precinct, Hart Searns.

He is also Ronan’s probationary mentor, akin to a teacher.

“Is your wound okay?”

Hart Searns patted Ronan’s shoulder with a smile, saying: “You gave me quite a scare yesterday; fortunately, you weren’t hurt seriously, otherwise I’d feel very guilty.”

“In the future, never be so impulsive again. With just a few coins as salary, why be so reckless!”

Ronan smiled wryly.

Yesterday during the chase of a thief, this old officer tried to stop Ronan, only to be left behind by the heated Ronan, then ambushed in a dark alley.

If Ronan wasn’t so impulsive, staying with Hart, nothing would have happened.

Since the old officer carried a gun and sword, his combat ability far exceeding the mere short stick Ronan wielded, typical riff-raff wouldn’t dare offend him.

In fact, during Ronan’s probationary period, Hart had imparted considerable experience on being a patrol officer.

The first and most crucial rule: prioritize one’s safety.

Unfortunately, nineteen-year-old Ronan is still too inexperienced.

Now he dutifully accepted the advice: “I understand, I won’t make such mistakes again.”

“That’s the spirit.”

Hart laughed: “You just got your paycheck, right? Isn’t it time to buy me a drink?”

“No problem.”

Ronan instantly replied: “Once you’re off duty, we’ll head to the Black Elf Bar.”

“Eh?”

Hart was surprised: “Didn’t expect you truly developed a sense of it!”

Although they hadn’t known each other long, old Hart was well aware of how thrifty Ronan usually was.

Unexpectedly willing to treat today!
