Chapter 59: Chapter 57: Contact with the Subordinate Demon God [Blood Demon] (4000 words)

The internal meeting concluded amid a lively discussion.

minutes later, comrade Lu Tianming of the Game Training Camp’s 12th unit received the following command from the upper council, "Focus on training newcomers and prior to your departure, you are permitted to attempt high-risk experiments, especially those concerning Blood Demon research."

"Oh, have those people finally chosen to adopt a more aggressive approach to their investigations?"

Lu Tianming was savoring a piece of compressed biscuit he had brought with great effort.

This food was hardly enjoyable, tough like a brick, but there was no choice, as saving funds meant this was all he could eat.

He had already grown fond of this training camp, the more he observed, the more he deeply understood that if used properly, the "Game" could bring unimaginably tremendous changes to humanity!

Even more, humanity could, with its aid, realize an even grander aspiration: to explore the Etheric Abyss!

That was the Etheric Abyss, a world even more vast and magnificent.

Even though the "Game" charged for every feature, just like Grandet, he liked this kind of fair trade ethos, the neutral rules akin to a Demon God that fooled no child or elder.

Whether it was the tenfold acceleration of learning or various high-tech products, or some other things...

At that thought, Lu Tianming took a deep breath and summoned Li Qingshan and Chen Xinyi to his side, "Both of you, after careful deliberation, the upper echelons of the Black-clothed Guard believe that the ’Game’ is a potential collaborator worth exploring."

"It seems to enjoy transactions with Guests for a bit of profit. Of course, using the word ’enjoy’ to describe it isn’t quite right. It doesn’t mind the coming and going of Guests, and that is a very good thing."

"So, from now on, you two will become the main Investigators delving into the ’Game’, with no further responsibilities for other matters."

"If the ’Game’ forcibly controls you to do certain things that are not too harmful, we will also help cover it up, and you will not be held personally accountable."

Li Qingshan remained silent for a few seconds, nodding his head heavily.

Initially, he was an important operative from a division across the Atlantic, responsible for tracking the "Blood Ginseng" case.

But now with the "Blood Ginseng" destroyed, and the "Elder" missing for many years, changing his task was not too problematic.

Li Qingshan was just concerned that his insufficient abilities might cause losses for the organization.

Chen Xinyi, on the other hand, was cheerfully carefree, without a worry, chuckling as she said, "So I no longer need to pass the reserve assessment? To be in charge of Demon God Level incidents right from the start, is that really okay? Will there be punishments if I can’t handle it?"

Li Qingshan said, "Train for a little while longer, and passing the assessment shouldn’t be an issue."

The tenfold training speed was indeed fierce. Although Chen Xinyi had been just an ordinary girl in the past, she had experienced a tremendous improvement in her Physical Ability after less than a week of physical training.

Her arms had developed a fair amount of muscle, making her look sporty and vigorous.

Her Physique value had soared to 189, and climbing higher from there was quite challenging, considering not everyone could reach the peak state of 300.

The most crucial thing was that she could now confidently indulge in eating in the real world, without ever worrying about putting on weight, perfectly digesting whatever energy she consumed.

Lu Tianming pulled out his last cigarette and dry-puffed it a couple of times, chuckling, "Don’t worry about that; your status is now quite special, so special I’m actually a bit envious. Miss Chen, you might not realize the power of this privilege."

"The subtext of that previous statement is that as long as you’re not setting off bombs in the city center, the organization will cover up most things; it’s a status of extreme privilege."

"The world operates cruelly; the Black-clothed Guard never aims to resolve supernatural events without harm. Even if you commit some bad deeds, steal, or rob, even kill somebody, as long as you blame the ’Game’, the organization will have to hold their noses and accept it."

"I, I, I... I am very righteous!" Chen Xinyi stammered when nervous, "I, I... how could I possibly commit robbery or murder?!"

"Ha ha, I’m not suggesting you’d intentionally commit bad deeds, but what if the ’Game’ controls you to kill? That’s why this privilege is necessary."

"What lacks is your foundational knowledge and experience. Other than that, there aren’t major issues, although there is somewhat of an attitude problem."

Here, except for breathing and sleeping being free, every other function costs money.

Buying cigarettes, naturally, requires money.

Correct, in the Game Training Camp, it is indeed possible to purchase mundane everyday items.

But Lu Tianming certainly didn’t want to spend Immortal Beans on ordinary cigarettes, or else the dedicated bean-breeding 28th unit would be in tears once more.

"You also cannot become complacent due to this; you don’t have any particular Talent or Superpower, and with your disaster-prone constitution, it’s very difficult to deal with anomalies. You’re not the brightest when it comes to scientific research. Your curiosity is too strong, almost to the point of seeking your own demise."

"It’s like you’re calling me useless."

"All right, from now on, Li Qingshan is your superior, so ask him for advice on any matters and don’t seek death! No one can save you if you do!"

"I understand!" Chen Xinyi stood up straight, earnestly.

But the corners of her mouth betrayed her inner thoughts; compared to the stern elder "Mr. 12th", Li Qingshan’s somewhat reserved nature also meant he was a reasonable person to negotiate with.
