33: Chapter 33 The Coming Great Changes

"Not bad, kid. Although that trashy rat has had his Realm stagnate for four years, he was still a top-tier existence within the first stage of the Night Wanderer. To think you could survive after heavily injuring him—you truly are the martial arts Genius I've had my eye on."

Meng Jianmin patted Lu Siye on the shoulder and laughed heartily, genuinely happy to have discovered such a Genius.

"Just luck! Pure luck!" Lu Siye's legs went soft, and he almost fell to the ground from those two pats.

'Hiss~ This strength is even more outrageous than mine.'

'As expected of the person in charge of Tianhai City's West District. This strength is truly terrifying.'

"Right, kid, do you want to join the Metal Squad?" Meng Jianmin looked at him and asked seriously.

"Are there any benefits to joining the Metal Squad?" Lu Siye thought for a moment and asked.

"Night Patrol Envoys receive a fixed 300 points every month, and the reward calculation for every Ghost killed increases by 50%. How about that?" Meng Jianmin offered a highly tempting condition.

"The benefits are that good? There must be some conditions, right!" Lu Siye fell silent for a moment; he firmly believed there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Night Patrol Envoys have to participate in night patrols in the West District after dark and accept various mission assignments from the Evil Suppression Bureau. Other than that, it's actually quite free." Meng Jianmin scratched his head; good benefits naturally come with heavy responsibilities.

"Then I'll pass! I prefer to be a bit more free." Lu Siye looked troubled and declined Meng Jianmin's invitation.

His greatest trump card was the System, and the way the System obtained Fear Points meant that he would inevitably be different from others when exorcising Ghosts, and he might even be mistaken for a pervert.

Compared to external things like points and money, he still chose to keep his clean reputation in this world.

"What a pity!" Meng Jianmin looked regretful, then asked again, "By the way, you should be about to ignite your Yang Fire, right?"

"That's right!" Lu Siye nodded.

"Alright then, I'll open up the Night Wanderer permissions for you first. You should exchange for more blood replenishing pills in the Evil Suppression Bureau mall and strive to promote to Night Wanderer within this month."

As Meng Jianmin spoke, he took out his phone and upgraded Lu Siye's permissions.

Lu Siye looked suspiciously at the man who resembled an iron tower in front of him. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his words.

"Is something big about to happen?" After hesitating for a while, Lu Siye decided to ask to get to the bottom of it.

Meng Jianmin's movements paused. After staring at Lu Siye for a while, he sighed and said, "The higher-ups won't let us leak information. I can only say that it is highly probable that there will be a major change in this world within this month."

Seeing that Lu Siye wanted to continue asking, Meng Jianmin quickly interrupted him.

"Anyway, just Cultivate well and strive to enter the Night Wanderer Realm as soon as possible." After saying that, he carried Hei Ming's arm and turned into a streak of golden light, quickly speeding away.

Wang Wenjing had previously said the time wasn't right, and now Brother Meng also said there would be a major change. He wondered if there was any connection between the two?

Lu Siye watched the golden light disappear into the horizon, rubbing his chin as he speculated.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

However, if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. His main priority right now was still to improve his strength.

Lu Siye took out his phone and opened the exorcism app. Sure enough, there was a notification in the background that his permissions had been upgraded.

After resubmitting the information about the Twin Ghost Infants that had previously failed to upload, Lu Siye went to Zhuang Xiaoman's side.

During the previous battle, Hei Ming hadn't paid any attention to her as an ordinary person. Plus, Lu Siye had intentionally drawn the battlefield away, so she hadn't been caught in the crossfire.

After waiting on the spot for over ten minutes, a patrol vehicle came from afar and stopped beside them. Several logistics personnel stepped out of the vehicle.

Lu Siye handed both the longevity lock and Zhuang Xiaoman over to them. Dealing with ordinary people caught in supernatural incidents was also their responsibility.

Subsequently, Lu Siye used Lingbo Microsteps, stepping on the wall to reach the rooftop of a low building, and headed towards Tongjiang Residential Area.

A few minutes later, Lu Siye climbed in from his own balcony. He glanced at the bedroom, then sat down on the sofa.

With a thought, he opened the System panel.

Host: Lu Siye

Fear Points: 2964

Cultivation: 170 years (External Skill: 155 years; Internal Skill: 15 years)

Cultivation Technique: Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art (Level 3); Body Forging Art; Five Tigers Soul-Severing Saber Technique (Proficient); Bei Ming Divine Art (Beginner); Lingbo Microsteps (Beginner)

Special Items: evil-exorcising fruit knife; blazing blood saber +1; Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art; Five Tigers Soul-Severing Saber Technique; Bei Ming Divine Art (Volume 1); Lingbo Microsteps (Volume 1)

Although the Cultivation on the panel hadn't changed, the aftereffects of overexerting his Qi and blood were still present. Upon careful sensing, it seemed that quite a few cracks had appeared on his blood vessel walls, and he needed to spend some time using Qi and blood to repair them.

Although the Internal Energy in his Dantian had recovered a little, it hadn't fully returned to its previous level.

Given his current condition, he estimated he could only exert one-third of his previous strength.

Moreover, because saving people was urgent at the time, he hadn't properly squeezed the Twin Ghost Infants for their double output, only farming a little over a thousand Fear Points.

He felt a bit shortchanged!

The only good news was that it proved he could directly contend with a Night Wanderer at his Peak, and could even heavily injure one.

After sighing silently, he closed the System panel. After cleaning up the trash on the floor, he began to Cultivate.

The Medicinal Pill that Meng Jianmin had given him to eat was still continuously providing Qi and blood energy, and the speed of providing Qi and blood exceeded the speed of his own passive refinement.

And the excess Qi and blood energy that hadn't been refined in time was automatically stored in his blood, passively repairing his blood vessels.

After focusing his mind and entering the state of Cultivation, the speed of refining Qi and blood greatly accelerated. His previously dried-up Qi and blood began to replenish rapidly, and the blood vessel walls were also being repaired quickly.

And perhaps because of the breakthrough after destruction, the blood vessel walls became even tougher during the repair process!

About an hour later, Lu Siye opened his eyes again. The medicinal power of the pill had been exhausted, his Qi and blood had roughly recovered to about two-thirds of his Peak, and the blood vessel walls were completely repaired.

"Good stuff! If I had had a pill like this in my hand earlier, I could have kept that bird Star Lord." Lu Siye sighed again, feeling a bit regretful at the same time.

"I wonder what this kind of pill is called? Can it be exchanged in the Evil Suppression Bureau mall?" Lu Siye couldn't help but think.

He took out his phone, opened the exorcism app, and glanced at his information.

Name: Lu Siye

Identity: Ordinary member of the Tianhai City Evil Suppression Bureau

Strength: Half-step Night Wanderer

Achievements: Heavily injured The Net Star Lord

Points: 870

"When did I get so many points?" Lu Siye was full of question marks; he remembered it was only two hundred something before.

Opening the point details, Lu Siye finally understood the reason for having so many points.

His previous point balance was 240. Later, the Mirror Ghost next door settled for 56 points; the falling Ghost at Jucai Residential Area settled for 74 points; the Twin Ghost Infants counted as two Ghosts, settling for 140 points.

And these were all the minor parts. The biggest part was heavily injuring The Net Star Lord, which settled for 360 points.

Exiting the information page, he clicked on the mall.

Lu Siye searched for the blood replenishing pill that Meng Jianmin had mentioned and looked at the price: 10 points each.

He clicked in to look at the picture. The pill was black, not the kind Meng Jianmin had given him to eat earlier.

Scrolling down, he finally saw a pill that looked exactly the same.

blood spirit pill: Refined from various rare medicinal herbs, with mild medicinal properties, it can replenish a large amount of Qi and blood for Martial Artists and can be used in combat.

Price: 300 points

"Hiss~" Lu Siye gasped, directly discouraged by the expensive price.
