Chapter 62 - 62 62 The More Severe the Pollution the Higher the Value

62: Chapter 62: The More Severe the Pollution, the Higher the Value 62: Chapter 62: The More Severe the Pollution, the Higher the Value Different Dharma Gates, different rules, different world views.

Nurse Liu once mentioned that switching specialties is harder than ascending to the heavens, and Wang Yunxiao used to be rather skeptical, but now he’s beginning to believe it.

If the Garrison Soldiers were specifically trained to combat demons and evil spirits,

then the Advisors would be like the cybersecurity workers of later times, specialized in filtering information.

The textbooks described various cases through examples, narrating different methods for addressing different issues.

Some of these methods, when judged by conventional moral standards, could be described as cruel and ruthless, beyond the pale.

For instance, in a dilemma of saving one person or five people, the solution presented by the book is to consider the cost of rescue; if the cost is too high and the loss exceeds the gain, the rescue must be abandoned.

Because the value of an Advisor’s life is far greater than those who cannot save themselves.

In summary, it was a very uncomfortable read.

But this was the necessary price to bear.

Now Wang Yunxiao understood why the senior officer from the Special Service Bureau had given him a single cold glance that made him feel a lump in his throat.

Because that was not the look one gives a person.

In their eyes, he was merely a problem that simply hadn’t met the standard for intervention yet.

Now, he could only hope that Little Gourd wouldn’t grow up to be that kind of child; that would not be endearing.

Wang Yunxiao was so engrossed in his reading that by the time he came to his senses, a day had already passed.

And it seemed he had barely turned a few pages of the book.

For a moment, he couldn’t even remember what he had read.

All he felt was an aching body and a heavy, dizzy head.

“Big brother, are you okay?

You didn’t come for lunch when I called you.

Is that book really that fascinating?”

Youtiao looked concerned.

“You called me for lunch?”

Wang Yunxiao squinted and thought for a moment, having absolutely no recollection of it.

This book is poisoned!

He immediately realized that the issue was with this textbook.

It’s no wonder it’s used to train Advisors; does it also come with built-in encryption?

Alright, alright, if that’s how you want to play, then?

Wang Yunxiao raised his hand and slapped the book onto the smiling face of Little Gourd: “What are you laughing at, here, take it back!”

In fact, he did hesitate for a moment.

With an immature mind coming into contact with such textbooks, it is indeed easy to be influenced.

He did not know whether Little Gourd could handle it.

Due to the absence of past memories, his understanding of Little Gourd was entirely based on Youtiao’s descriptions; he had never truly known the child.

Jiang Xiaotang laughed heartily, devoid of worries, and even the flesh-red scars like cracks on porcelain on her face could not hide the girl’s innocence and cheer.

What secrets was she hiding, after all?

In the evening, during class, Nurse Liu asked Wang Yunxiao, “Did Third Master Ding invite you to dinner tomorrow?”

“That’s what was said.”

They mentioned an invitation three days later, but who knows what that entails; it might just be a polite formality.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t take it to heart.

“If he wants to talk to you, you can tell him the school will open the door on the fifteenth of this month.”

“Open what door?”

Wang Yunxiao had just asked this question when he realized that Xiao Baili had seemingly mentioned something over the phone about a magical door at the school, which supposedly led to another world.

“Is there really such a door?”

“On the fifteenth of each month, which is the night of the full moon, our Real World intersects with the Outer Dimension.

Those affected by the Echo Erosion of the Outer Dimension have a certain chance of being pulled into it that evening, and the dangers of this are self-evident.”

Nurse Liu explained, “Here at Qinghe Middle School, there is a safe passage connected to a comparatively safer dimension.

If you make adequate preparations, there might be substantial rewards for entering it.”

“#%￥… Substantial rewards!”

Wang Yunxiao’s eyes lit up as he thought to himself that it was no wonder all those people outside were so obsessed with the school; it turned out there were such benefits to be had.

Here came the wealth and splendor raining down on him!

Youtiao raised his hand and asked, “Teacher Liu, what counts as a substantial reward?

Gold and jewels?”

“Don’t ask me that question, you should ask Chen Yan.”

Nurse Liu wrote the word “Contamination” on the blackboard.

“The laws of the Outer Dimension are different from the Real World, and it’s impossible to predict what exactly you will encounter.

Generally speaking, the more severe the Knowledge Contamination of an item, the higher its value.

The specific degree of Knowledge Contamination must be judged by your team’s Chess Herald.

However, as the term implies, the more severe the contamination, the greater the danger, and your team’s Advisor will need to contain it.

The Advisor’s containment ability is also limited, so you will have to judge the scale of it yourselves…”

Nurse Liu calmly watched the classroom full of students who were invigorated by the mention of substantial rewards.

“Your task is to collect these items with Knowledge Contamination and return safely.

How much you can collect, how far you can go, and when you return will all depend on the arrangements made by the Chess Herald and Advisor.”

So…

where were the substantial rewards?

Wang Yunxiao raised his hand and asked, “Teacher Liu, how do we handle these contaminated items once we bring them back?”

“Turn them all in, and based on their value, I will exchange them for some things that will be useful to you.”

“What kinds of things exactly?”

“A pound of contaminated items for ten pounds of pork?”

“Then I’ve got no problems.”

Wang Yunxiao turned and exchanged a glance with Youtiao, thinking to himself that this was a deal that had to be done.

We had to stuff our bellies with this meat, no one could stop us, not even the mighty Laozi!

The entire class’s morale suddenly surged.

Teacher Liu had used the strategist move “promising plums to quench thirst,” increasing the troops’ morale by +10.

“Don’t just think about eating meat in your head, I haven’t talked about the dangers yet.”

Nurse Liu rapped sharply on the blackboard.

“As the saying goes, you can know a person’s face but not his heart, Third Master Ding doesn’t really have any relationship with you, so you must be wary of him making a move on you.

In addition to that, there’s another threat you must confront, the behind-the-scenes mastermind who has been lingering like an ominous ghost and constantly causing trouble.

Now I can tell you, what you’re facing is a mutated demon!”

“Take note, this is a key point!”

“Heretical Demons cultivate by devouring humanity and feed on human emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Their minds are twisted due to Heretical Demons being easily contaminated by knowledge, mutating into indescribable monsters.

It is a walking source of contamination, constantly spreading pollution and eroding every living being around it.

If you’re not fully prepared and encounter such a creature head-on, you are likely to be completely wiped out!”

This speech was like a bucket of cold water, suddenly dousing everyone’s greed.

However, Wang Yunxiao sharply detected the key issue.

“Teacher Liu, if, as you just said, the more severe the contamination, the higher the value of the item, does that mean the demon itself is also very valuable?”

Nurse Liu looked deeply at Wang Yunxiao and nodded, “That’s right, you could consider it the most valuable catch, but you must act within your capabilities.”
