Chapter 337: Chapter 272 Strive for it_1

Within the Dusk Cathedral, Ahn Ke asked Ahn Qi by her side, "How do you feel?"

"... I’m not really interested." Ahn Qi honestly replied. She didn’t like this dusk-like hue and wasn’t interested in this place at all.

"This is Dusk."

Ahn Qi nodded, "He works here... right?"

"Ha, you could say that. Actually, this place is quite interesting." Ahn Ke laughed and said he had found a Dusk mercenary and pulled out his phone, bringing up a photo.

This Dusk hunter looked at the photo with hesitation, but Ahn Ke, well-prepared, took out a briefcase he was carrying. Ahn Qi could immediately tell what was inside—it was a Clarity Potion developed by the Ahn family.

She had used a similar thing when she ’fought side by side’ with Zheng Yichen, but that was a custom-made enhanced version according to her own body. When she used it, the effects were doubled, but for others, it amounted to poison.

She carried a lot of that stuff with her and, in some urgent situations, it not only enhanced her abilities but could also be used as poison to deal with her enemies.

The Dusk mercenary looked at the Clarity Potion in the briefcase and hesitated for a moment before telling Ahn Ke some information. The other party knew what he was dealing with, and Dusk mercenaries weren’t completely insulated from the local world—they still lived in it and were aware of the existence of the Ahn family.

In fact, some Dusk mercenaries had partnerships with some families. Although the enhancements from the Dusk Territory were convenient, they couldn’t solely rely on the power of Dusk for everything, right? High-end items were one thing, but when it came to non-merit point related issues, it was sometimes better to partner with local forces.

The Ahn family’s Clarity Potion was a rare commodity within the circle of Dusk mercenaries—it could greatly increase the user’s reaction ability, significantly enhance mobility and vision, and even forcibly stabilize one’s rational state, allowing for precise judgments.

Although there was an additional burden on the brain after the effect wore off, and it didn’t directly improve physical fitness, it was a great thing to ’cheat’ in battle. With equal strength, using this stuff, one could defeat their opponent.

As for the burden, that was the least of worries for the Dusk mercenaries, given their strong physique.

And the Clarity Potion that Ahn Ke had brought was an enhanced version, a rarity among rarities.

"Alright, we can confirm he’s a Proxy Agent." Ahn Ke returned to Ahn Qi’s side, "Let’s leave."

"...Just like that?" Ahn Qi felt it was a bit too simple, and what Ahn Ke did made her somewhat puzzled. All of this was just to confirm an identity?

"You don’t know the difference between Proxy Agents and Dusk mercenaries."

Ahn Qi didn’t like this feeling of ignorance. After sitting in the car, she immediately asked, "The difference between a full-time employee and a temp?"

"Something like that, but Proxy Agents have far less freedom compared to Dusk mercenaries. However, those Proxy Agents who can survive for a long time are all tough characters." After starting the car, Ahn Ke continued, "At first, I thought the partner you’d found was just a Dusk mercenary, but I didn’t expect him to be a Proxy Agent..."

Ahn Qi changed the subject, "Does Second Brother know about Dusk?"

"He knows, but Sister Longling and you didn’t." Ahn Ke laughed as he said, "Apart from you two, more than two-thirds of the family don’t know, including those old men."

"How does this identity affect my partnership with him?"

Ahn Ke said, "It doesn’t really affect it, other than that Proxy Agents have a higher mortality rate and are more likely to be targeted."

After that, Ahn Qi’s questions were mostly about Zheng Yichen. The driving Ahn Ke shook his head; this was the reaction of someone who didn’t have Dusk adaptability. Ahn Qi knew about Dusk and hadn’t forgotten it, but her questions focused more on Zheng Yichen rather than on Dusk.

If she had Dusk adaptability, her questions would be more focused on Dusk—Proxy Agents were Dusk’s official employees, and Dusk was the real big boss.

Ahn Ke started talking about Dusk, "Dusk won’t have any direct interactions with the local world."

Ahn Qi slightly furrowed her brows. What Ahn Ke was saying wasn’t what she wanted to hear—she felt Zheng Yichen was more important and was about to say something. However, Ahn Ke placed a finger on Ahn Qi’s neck and wiped it lightly, "Don’t interrupt me."

"..." Ahn Qi uncomfortably touched her own neck. The place where her neck had been gently touched by the finger had already broken out in goosebumps.

Ahn Ke continued, "Dusk won’t have direct interactions with the local world, but Dusk is the entity that maintains the existence of the world. Specifically, it maintains the existence of the world itself, and it has nothing to do with the creatures within this world. Even if the creatures of this world were to become extinct, as long as the world itself is alright, Dusk wouldn’t interfere."

"However, people from Dusk won’t leave Dusk. It might be due to some rule or other reason, and that’s why Dusk needs some Dusk mercenaries and Proxy Agents to step in and handle certain matters."

"Dusk mercenaries can actively choose the commissions they want to resolve, while Proxy Agents are assigned various tasks by Dusk. When Dusk mercenaries cannot complete a commission, then it turns to Proxy Agents, which is why Proxy Agents face the most difficult tasks."

"Dusk mercenaries have many opportunities, while Proxy Agents only have one chance. If they fail, that’s it."
