Embarrassing and desperate.
There was more embarrassment than despair.
Surprisingly, there are no inspectors at this murder hospital.
Why wouldn't it be there?
How is this different from a normal supernatural world? Or is it that not every supernatural world has an inspector, and only specific supernatural worlds have them?
Various guesses flashed through Ye Lai's mind.
Finally, Ye Lai forcibly pulled him to the key issue.
So what do we do now?!
"escape?"
Ye Lai looked around and found himself surrounded by invisible arms on all sides.
Even using the phantom mask, there's no way to leave.
Moreover, in the face of such a desperate and bizarre situation, it's uncertain whether the invisibility and self-destruction effects of the phantom mask will even be effective.
Upgrade the Phantom Mask to the highest level? Maybe it will unlock new and useful features?
"Upgrade the Phantom Mask to the highest level."
Ye Lai thought to himself.
Should I spend 600 Dragon Soul Crystals to upgrade the Phantom Mask to its maximum level?
"Confirm!"
[The Phantom Mask has been upgraded to level 3, with enhanced basic effects, improved self-destruct properties, and the acquisition of a new trait—Immovable Clone.]
[The Phantom Mask has been upgraded to level 4, with enhanced basic effects, enhanced self-destruct properties, enhanced new properties, and the new property gained—Perfect Clone.]
Two hints: the Phantom Mask has two new properties.
Ye Lai remained motionless, but his figure rushed forward.
But the real Ye Lai had already disappeared; what rushed forward was just a clone.
[Feature - Perfect Clone]
Creates a movable and crying clone on the spot, while the user enters a hidden state. This clone can also self-destruct and attack, but its attacks are weaker than the real Ye's and it cannot use skills.
"I'll fight you to the death! I'd rather die than become your collectible."
Ye Lai's perfect clone shouted.
When he was grabbed by an invisible arm, he chose to self-destruct!
"Bang."
The clone exploded, and an invisible arm grabbed a lonely object.
Because Tan Xiaoyun and the others were lying face down on the ground, they didn't know what had happened and could only hear the sounds.
After hearing Ye Lai's shouts and the sound of his self-destruction.
Everyone was deeply moved, and Tan Xiaoyun even couldn't help but cry.
"I really met him too late. I thought I could date him and finally stop being single. I never thought I would die here, and the person I love would also die here."
Tan Xiaoyun expressed her feelings while shedding tears.
"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have been braver and confessed my feelings to him in public!"
"...."
The real Ye Lai was unusually calm.
After deliberately making his clone shout that sentence and self-destruct, he quietly lay down on the ground.
He saw invisible arms that had been blown up and were floating around.
"Hopefully, this upgraded phantom mask will allow me to remain undetected."
Ye Lai prayed inwardly that it would be best if he could remain undiscovered.
At the same time, he was still thinking about that clue in the hidden information about this desperate-level Tan Tong clone.
If we say...
There are no inspectors here, so if Tan Tong can do whatever he wants here, then why didn't Tan Tong arrange for such a desperate-level clone to come from the beginning?
Instead, they first arranged for a boy to become a ghost, and then arranged for the hospital director to become an insurance agent in the inpatient department.
Why go through all this trouble?
Tan Tong must have something or someone he's worried about.
⑻ВοOk.cом
It refers to the so-called agreement mentioned in the prompt.
"But how can I make the thing he's worried about happen?"
Ye Lai was still thinking.
At this point, a normal person can only pray to heaven and earth.
But no matter what, Ye Lai always takes the initiative to think about ways to solve problems.
Because of this trait, he used the rules to kill Tanya and is now thinking about how to escape safely from Tan Tong's clutches.
He had temporarily put aside the idea of killing Tan Tong.
Ye Lai didn't look up, but lay face down on the ground.
He worried that focusing his attention on Tan Tong would alert the other party.
But a cold sensation came from behind him.
[Notification: Your invisibility status has been detected]
Ye Lai's figure emerged from his stealth state; he had been discovered.
"Hehehe, even this disgusting clown mask has reached the point where it can perfectly create clones, something that didn't exist before."
Tan Tong had already realized that Ye Lai harbored an astonishing secret.
A powerful profession has nothing to do with skill advancement. Ye Lai must have his secrets to be able to advance his skills so quickly.
"Give up your arms, offer your flesh to your arms."
Tan Tong stretched out his right hand upwards.
An invisible arm grabbed Ye Lai.
Just as Ye Lai was about to crawl on the ground and raise his hands under the control of his arms.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if you do something like this on my turf?"
A domineering voice echoed in the murder hospital.
Under this voice, all the invisible arms were driven away, and Ye Lai and the people regained control of their bodies.
Tan Tong was opposite him in mid-air.
A radiant man materialized.
With his hair slicked back and dressed in the Extraordinary Team uniform, complete with the character "General" on the right arm, he wore a confident smile, which was quickly replaced by serious anger.
"Commander-in-Chief!"
"The Captain-General has arrived!"
Feng Diyuan and the others regained their freedom and saw the slicked-back-haired man in mid-air.
"There's no time to chat now. You and the people should go back to the real world. The passageways here have been covered by Skynet. Hurry up and leave."
The slick-back-haired man tapped his fingers, and the remaining 20,000-plus people, along with Tan Xiaoyun and others, turned into a cluster of twinkling starlight.
Only Ye Lai's figure flickered back and forth between the starlight and his physical body.
In the end, they remained in the same place.
[Notification: You have been targeted by Tan Tong using 'Giant Axe Instant Death' and are temporarily unable to teleport away.]
Ye Lai has been locked onto by Tan Tong and is temporarily unable to leave.
"Everyone can leave, but he can't; he is the arm I chose."
Tan Tong, holding a giant axe in mid-air, said that just now, he had swung the giant axe to stop Ye Lai from teleporting away.
"You said you couldn't leave right in front of me, and even said you'd turn me into your arms. Looks like you've attached arms to your brain."
The slick-haired man sneered, his powerful aura causing the entire murder hospital to tremble. The eerie presence of the nurses and doctors who were still crawling on the ground vanished, leaving only the terrifyingly skilled surgical expert trembling and crawling on the ground.
"More than 20,000 people from Hongshan City were also sacrificed."
"Today, even if your father came, he couldn't save you, this clone. That's what I, Mad Lion Tang Island, say."
Tang Dao finished speaking.
The figure that had been standing in mid-air had disappeared from its original spot, along with Tan Tong, who was holding a giant axe in mid-air.
It seemed as if the two of them had simply vanished abruptly.
But Ye Lai, with his golden eyes, could see faint afterimages alternating in the air.
What could be barely seen was a shadowy figure wielding a giant axe, seemingly being tortured.

They disappear quickly, and they appear quickly too.
When the figure from Tangdao appeared in the same spot, he was carrying Tan Tong's head.
Tan Tong's body and the golden giant ax have disappeared without a trace.
"You have invaded my Hongshan City and used the lives of my Hongshan City citizens to stabilize the strange world. You must be prepared to die here."
Tang Dao held up the severed head in his hand to eye level and said, "When I have time, I'll come visit you."
"I would be more than happy to welcome you. I'll be waiting for you with the old man then."
Even though only his head remained, Tan Tong was not afraid, because it was just a clone, not his original body, and he would not panic even if it died.
"I also want to tell you that that man has a huge secret."
Tan Tong stretched out his arm from his eyes and pointed at Ye Lai, "If you are willing to exchange him, I can use the bizarre world as an exchange."
Tan Tong spoke without any concealment, and Ye Lai heard it clearly.
Oh no, will my secret be discovered?
Being able to see hidden information in the bizarre world, having access to the in-game store, and having an exclusive profession—any one of these three things would be a big deal for Ye Lai.
Will Captain Tang Dao really exchange himself for the sake of the strange world again?
Even if we don't exchange them, will my secrets be discovered again?
This is a blatant, overt scheme.
Ye Lai's mind was in turmoil, but he did not run away, because where could he run to?
"What a joke! Everyone has secrets, including me, Tang Dao," Tang Dao laughed contemptuously. "What, if your father told the King of Great Xia that I also have secrets and was willing to exchange them for the Mysterious World, would I have to commit suicide to atone for my sins?"
"Does the King of Great Xia have no secrets? Trying to sow discord with something like this? You really underestimate Tang Island."
"Die, I'll come after you myself later."
With a slight movement of his right hand, Tang Dao's clone of Tan Tong, now only a head, was engulfed in flames and reduced to ashes.
A truly bizarre and desperate situation ended in Tang Dao's hands.
[Hint: The interference has ended. You may return to the real world.]
"You can go back now. This is my mental clone. Neither my original self nor this guy's original self can withstand this strange world. After killing him, the power of this clone of mine will be almost exhausted."
After Tang Dao finished speaking, his figure began to shatter and turn into light.
Before shattering, Tang Dao clenched his fist and slammed it into the void, causing the entire murder hospital to shake violently.
"ah."
Countless screams rang out as the remaining doctors were all killed by Tang Dao's final punch before leaving.
Now, only Ye Lai remains in the entire murder hospital; there are no other humans or other supernatural beings. This scene leaves Ye Lai feeling somewhat helpless.
He had originally planned to kill all these experts before leaving.
Now, there's nothing strange about the entire hospital anymore.
"return."
Finding nothing left to take, Ye Lai chose to return.
The figure turned into a glimmer of light and disappeared into the murder hospital.
...
This time, Ye Lai was fully conscious.
Returning to the real world is completely different from entering the eerie world.
Entering the eerie world is like being surrounded by darkness, while returning to the real world is like being surrounded by light.
The only thing they have in common is that they both make you unable to see anything.
When the scene before us returned to normal.
Ye Lai found himself back at the hospital entrance.
It's the entrance to a real hospital.
Captains Jiang Tiandao, Tang Dao, and Lan Beihong were standing behind him.
"Your parents are undergoing treatment right now, so this is a good time for you to observe."
Tang Dao said to Ye Lai with a smile.
"You will encounter captain-level combat power, which will be very beneficial for your future development, so be sure to make the most of it."
Lan Beihong smiled gently at Ye Lai and said.
"Get out of our way, don't block our way."
Jiang Tiandao then said with a sinister grin.
"Why do all three captains smile when they talk to him, and why are their smiles all different?"
Ye Lai silently complained, then quietly stood behind the three of them.
"What should I do? Should I just chop him down?"
Jiang Tiandao said to the two people beside him.
"Of course not. More than 20,000 lives were lost here in Hongshan City. All the monsters inside have been killed by me. Jiang Tiandao, you cut off this clinic from the deep monster world."
⑧BОoК． сom
Tang Dao remained silent, but deep in his heart was sorrow. "Lan Beihong, you should put this part that was cut off into the Skynet."
"If anyone dares to put their hand into my Hongshan City, then we'll chop off that hand."
"..."
"Okay." Lan Beihong stretched out his hands, and a ball of light appeared in his hands, indicating that he was ready.
"Roger that! Let me cut the price!"
Jiang Tiandao raised his broadsword, and golden, violent battle aura appeared on his body, forming a grinning skull shape behind him.
With a single strike, the entire skeletal form merged into the greatsword.
That strike clearly hit thin air.
But it seemed to have severed something.
Click, click, click, click.
It sounded like countless ropes snapping.
Ye Lai opened his golden eyes wide, but he couldn't see anything.
Instead, the immense pressure made him tremble all over. A faint light appeared in front of him, blocking the pressure from Jiang Tiandao.
It was Lan Beihong who stepped in to help Ye Lai block the attack.
"It's a bit hard! Hahaha!"
Jiang Tiandao said with a loud laugh.
Golden battle aura erupted from his body once again.
"ha!"
With a loud shout, the broadsword was covered in a layer of blood, which also tinged the golden battle aura with crimson.
"Crack crack crack crack crack".
The broadsword continued to slash downwards!
Something has been completely cut apart.
"That felt great! I really want to cut again!"
Jiang Tiandao looked pleased.
"Keep it down, it's my turn."
Lan Beihong also stretched out his hands, and the faint light above the hospital lit up and turned into a bright light, as a huge net fell from mid-air.
The net has been cast.
The entire hospital was wrapped up.
A layer of crimson appeared beneath the sky net and continued to rise upwards.
Ye Lai could see a blood-red bubble in the Skynet, and inside the bubble was the phantom of the clinic.
[Name: Murder Hospital Outpatient Department]
[Category: World-themed (Mysterious)]
[Rank: Third Rank]
[Category: Excellent]
[Description: This is the outpatient department of the murder hospital. It was originally a level two eerie world, but it was upgraded to a level three eerie world after Tan Tong sacrificed more than 20,000 people.]
[Warning: You are caught in the net of fate; there is no escape.]
Wow, world category.
So that works too.
Ye Lai gained new insights.
The skynet was raised into the air, and blood-red bubbles bounced, seemingly trying to break free of the network.
"Trying to run? Do you think you can escape?"
Tang Dao spoke up, throwing a punch that cracked the bubble, which then dared not move.
Just as the bubble was about to reach the shimmering curtain of light in the sky.
Black gaps kept appearing in the air.
Arms emerged from within, reaching for the bubble-like phantom enveloped by the net.
"You're already feeling sorry for him?"
Tang Dao sneered and threw another punch.
The tremor caused all the outstretched arms to be smashed to pieces.
"You should have left them for me to chop up. With so many arms, I could chop them up many times."
Jiang Tiandao complained.
Tang Dao ignored him.
The bubble-like phantom eventually merged into the Skynet and disappeared.

This was the first time Ye Lai had witnessed the full force of the people in charge at the Hongshan Center.
It is more grand and oppressive than the desperate and eerie atmosphere in the outpatient department of the murder hospital and the battle with Tang Island.
Especially Jiang Tiandao's slashing attacks.
Even standing behind him, he felt an unparalleled sense of oppression.
"You can leave now that you've finished reading. If you ever have the chance to achieve extraordinary things in the future, what you've learned today will be of great help to you."
Tang Dao waved.
After bidding farewell to the captains, Ye Lai left to search for his parents.
More than 20,000 people died in the bizarre world, while more than 60,000 survived.
But these 60,000-plus people all contracted the disease, and the medical needs for such a large number are enormous.
Moreover, these are not ordinary diseases; they are viruses that can even kill superhumans.
This is something that ordinary hospitals can no longer get involved in.
The Extraordinary Center has been mobilized.
Everywhere you look, you see people with the words "extraordinary" hanging around.
They released a massive blue barrier that enveloped the patients, with wisps of black energy flowing from their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths.
When the black aura completely stops and stops overflowing, it means the patient is cured.
The area within a five-kilometer radius has become a release barrier, with red barriers of all sizes enveloping these patients.
Guided by some people, Ye Lai met his parents in a tent.
They were all lying motionless in bed. Ye Lai felt relieved only after confirming that their vital signs were intact.
She was just asleep.
Besides his parents, there was a woman with waist-length hair in the tent, wearing loose clothing, and a diamond-shaped mark on her forehead.
"Don't worry, they're just asleep."
The woman seemed to recognize Ye Lai, and said in a calm tone, "You are Ye Lai, right?"
"Yes, that's me."
Ye Lai had never seen this woman before.
"I am Wan Yuhua, the fourth person in charge of the Extraordinary Center, and also the captain of the fourth battle team, who is in charge of treatment."
Wan Yuhua said to Ye Lai, "Your parents' illnesses are not serious and have been completely cured. The reason they were placed in a separate consultation room is because I discovered that they had a bloodline-sensing curse while I was treating them."
"A bloodline-related curse?"
Ye Lai asked in confusion, as he didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
"It's a kind of bloodline tracking. Only some powerful people would plant a curse on their own family. Anyone who kills someone from that family will be automatically detected."
Wan Yuhua explained.
I see.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lai understood completely.
Because he killed Tanya, who possessed golden blood, he was cursed and hunted down.
The reason Ye Zheng and Jiang Juanli were taken hostage was not to force Ye Lai into the group, but because their bloodline sensed something in his parents. The initial plan was probably to bring Ye Lai in directly.
"Ye Zheng and Jiang Juanli are both ordinary people. I think this bloodline sensing curse was planted in you by someone else and then passed on to your parents. This kind of curse is less harmful to superhumans, but for ordinary people like your parents, it will consume a certain amount of their life force."
Wan Yuhua gently approached the sleeping Ye Laiye and Jiang Juanli with her hand.
A golden "kill" character appeared on their bodies.
Under a strange sensation, a golden "kill" character automatically appeared on Ye Lai's body.
[Note: This is a bloodline-sensing curse from the Golden Bloodline. No matter where you are, those with the Golden Bloodline will sense your presence.]
(8) BOOOK.com
Is there a way to remove it?
Ye Lai asked, "If this curse is not removed, he and his parents will be discovered again and again, and today's events will keep repeating themselves."
"There's no way to eliminate it. The head of the Golden Family is a King-level supernatural being, and even Tang Island can't get rid of it unless the King of Great Xia personally takes action."
Wan Yuhua shook her head and said, "However, under strict conditions, this kind of curse can be temporarily blocked, but it only blocks the signal. Once you leave such an area, it will still be sensed. Moreover, the loss of life force will only be slowed down, not stopped."
Where is such a place?
Ye Lai asked.
"Within the Great Xia Dynasty, apart from the various forbidden zones, there is the headquarters and branches of the Extraordinary Center. That is where the Skynet is most densely packed, which can block bloodline sensing and slow down the loss of life force."
Wan Yuhua told Ye Lai.
Ye Lai looked at the sleeping Ye Zheng and Jiang Juanli in silence.
It seems that from now on, we can only keep our parents in the Extraordinary Center. Not only will their life force be lost if they go to other places, but once they are discovered, they will be sensed, which will be another strange invasion.
That strange person named Tan Tong has already set his sights on me and will not give up until he has collected my information.
"Can I join the Extraordinary Center?"
Ye Lai said to Wan Yuhua.
"Of course, you're very welcome."
Wan Yuhua nodded and smiled, "However, it's still undecided which team you'll join, because everyone wants you, including me."
After saying that, Wan Yuhua stood up and walked out of the tent: "Our person in charge will be holding a meeting later. You can have a good reunion with your parents first. Someone will take you to the Extraordinary Center later."
"Okay, I understand."
Ye said.
He had to go to the Extraordinary Center before he even left the murder hospital.
Because entering the bizarre world is either a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity or an endless series of times, you either choose to enter only once, or you will have to enter it at random intervals throughout your future life.
This was Ye Lai's second time entering the murder hospital, and given the current situation, joining the Extraordinary Center was almost a certainty (because it would be safer that way).
Now, with the added curse of the Golden Bloodline, Ye Lai is even more compelled to join the Extraordinary Center.
Wan Yuhua must have known this, which is why she was waiting for him here.
After all, his behavior at the murder hospital must have already been reported.
"I need to find a way to become stronger faster."
Ye Lai told himself that he had to get rid of the curse as soon as possible and not let his parents be harmed because of this thing.
...
The 100th floor of the Wuchang Hotel.
A dedicated floor for meetings of those in charge.
A round table was placed in the center of the conference room, and on the table were nine numbers from one to nine, which represented the nine leaders of the Hongshan City Extraordinary Center.
However, only six people are present now.
Ye Lai had already met four of them.
The first person in charge was Tang Dao with his slicked-back hair; the fourth person in charge was Wan Yuhua; the sixth person in charge was Lan Beihong; and the eighth person in charge was Jiang Tiandao.
In addition, Dong Que, who was sitting in the ninth position, and a portly man, who was sitting in the third position.
"The other leaders are either in the supernatural world or have gone to headquarters. We are the only ones who can come right now."
Tang Dao, positioned in the middle, scrutinized the assembled officials and said, "This bizarre intrusion has had a very negative impact. I need the full story of what happened."
"Of course, the details should be explained by Captain Blue, who is in charge of intelligence at Skynet. I'm in charge of the economy, so I really don't know anything about this strange intrusion."
The pot-bellied man sitting in the third seat said, "Quickly tell me what happened? Also, tell me how much you've lost, so I can see how much money you need to come up with."
⑻ьооК. com

After careful investigation, I've discovered that the whole story started with a newcomer named Ye Lai who killed the leader of the eerie world, Tanya, in a bizarre world called 'Happy Cinema.' Tanya is the third daughter of the Golden Family..."
"So, Tan Tong, the second son of the Golden Family, used his bloodline connection to avenge his sister's death, but he must have misjudged the situation, thus infiltrating the Hongshan First Hospital where Ye Lai's parents, Ye Zheng and Jiang Juanli, were located..."
Lan Beihong slightly combed his flowing bangs, then said sadly and self-reproachfully:
"The losses were also enormous. More than 20,000 city residents perished inside. Of the twelve team members who went in, five survived."
"....."
Lan Beihong recounted everything.
Part of it is fact, and part is his speculation. When he was telling his story, he distinguished between speculation and fact to avoid confusion.
All those in charge chose to stand in silence to mourn the city's residents who died in the invasion.
Then the pot-bellied man asked, "Are all the new recruits this powerful these days? Killing the leader of the monsters in their very first strange world? And a monster with a bloodline at that? The odds are lower than winning the lottery!"
"Zhu Yiwen, it's not just that. When we clashed swords at the first level, even my sword was knocked away. He's more durable than you."
Jiang Tiandao also said excitedly.
"Back to the main topic."
Tang Dao brought everyone back to the main point, "We'll talk about the newcomer's matter later. As for the financial compensation, Zhu Yiwen, are there any issues?"
Discuss the important issues first, then the less important ones. As a leader, you can't let your subordinates ramble on during meetings.
If the discussion keeps going off-topic, there's no point in having this meeting.
"No problem. We can just use the Great Xia currency as a special danger fee for more than 20,000 people. We can print as many Great Xia currencies as we have, and then use the extraordinary market to channel this money over."
Zhu Yiwen said with difficulty, "But the difficult thing is deciding what kind of compensation we should give to the six who died in the battle."
"When a superhuman dies in a mission, we usually give them a Seed of Power and a piece of superhuman equipment, but this rescue mission is very difficult."
"Logically, we should be giving advanced professions a Seed of Extraordinary Power, along with Tier 2 ordinary equipment or Tier 1 fine equipment of equivalent value. However, advanced professions are currently in short supply of Seeds of Extraordinary Power, and the captains who went to collect them have not yet returned. I estimate we will have to wait."
"..."
"I have some Power Seeds in my personal possession. You can take them and put them in the seed bank when the time comes."
Tang Dao waved.
"Then there's no problem."
The third person in charge, Zhu Yiwen, said.
"Then it's time for Ye Lai's matter."
Tang Dao continued.
"If it's about Ye Lai, I have a suggestion. He must have some kind of secret. I suggest exploring his memories or getting him to reveal the secret. If this secret can be used to enhance every superhuman, it would be a huge boost for our Hongshan Center as a whole."
Dong Que suggested, "We must not fail to use the method of increasing combat power by being able to kill monsters of higher levels. Unless it is due to professional factors, normally only high-level professions and warrior professions can do this."
"Dong Que reminded me that there is one more thing to say about Ye Lai's intelligence. Based on the report and the situation of the battle with Captain Jiang, Ye Lai's first-tier profession should be at least Warrior."
Lan Beihong interjected.
"Warrior level or higher? Captain Blue, someone from an ordinary background, can awaken such a profession?"
Dong Que straightened his back and asked seriously.
"Being from an ordinary background simply means that the possibility of awakening a higher level of professional potential is lower, but it doesn't mean it's impossible,"
Lan Beihong continued calmly, "Based on observation, he has used three skills so far: the Vajra Body of a martial artist, the One-Sword Kill of a swordsman, and the Phantom Mask of a clown."
"Three skills, all top-tier skills from different professions, and..."
⑻ЬOΟк． com
Towards the end of his speech, Lan Beihong paused, took out a data sheet on 'Ye Lai' and projected it onto the conference table.
"There are currently 36 recorded professions with such skills, including 'Player' and 'Frankenstein', but without exception, they are all at least Warrior level!"
"This is also why he was able to kill monsters of higher levels."
"..."
"Hahaha, this is even more interesting. Someone like this must come to my team, let him fight alongside me, or fight in the most bizarre ways."
Jiang Tiandao grinned maliciously, clearly excited.
"I just looked at his resume. Such a calm person is not suitable for fighting in your team. It would be great for him to come here and do economic and analysis work."
Zhu Yiwen, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, also joined the team trying to recruit him.
"Yes, it's a real shame that someone with such a calm demeanor isn't in our Sixth Team for intelligence gathering and internal communication."
"Actually...our fourth team also really needs talent like this..."
"Our team, Team Nine... is currently short-handed..."
Lan Beihong, Wan Yuhua, and Dong Que also chose to poach talent.
Everyone chimed in, and what should have been a pleasant meeting turned into a talent war.
"That's enough, that's enough."
Tang Dao interrupted the fierce competition among everyone to recruit him.
"Since everyone wants this newcomer Ye Lai so much, let's do it this way and let him join my team."
"..."
"That's not a good idea, Tangdao. You have so many responsibilities and are so busy. I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to properly train such a promising talent..."
The fourth person in charge, Wan Yuhua, expressed her disagreement with a smile and high emotional intelligence.
These words resonated with everyone.
"I'll teach when I'm here, and you can teach when I'm not. If he wants to transfer teams later, that's in accordance with the regulations, as long as he's willing."
Tang Dao wore a confident smile, seemingly certain that Ye Lai would not switch teams.
"Okay, by the way, weren't you going to report this strange intrusion to headquarters? Aren't you going?"
Zhu Yiwen agreed and said to Tang Dao.
It means you need to leave quickly, they're coming to take you away, or rather, to teach you a lesson.
"You guys are really something..."
Tang Dao smiled wryly, but Zhu Yiwen was right. Yes, he still had to go to headquarters to report this strange intrusion.
He needs to make sure that weirdo who broke the agreement is properly punished.
"Please take good care of yourselves while I'm gone. We have some other things to discuss..."
Tang Dao continued.
The rest of the meeting consisted of routine reports, such as economic reports, intelligence reports, and questions about how to settle Ye Lai's parents.
Meanwhile, Ye Lai...
He has arrived at the Hotel of Impermanence.

Room 601, 10th floor, Wuchang Hotel.
Ye Zheng and Jiang Juanli had already woken up, and four dishes and a soup were laid out on the dining table.
Ye Lai explained the whole story to them, omitting the parts that revealed hidden information.
"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I've dragged you into this."
Ye apologized, saying he never imagined he would put his parents in such a dangerous situation. Now they could only stay in the Extraordinary Center. If they went outside, their life force would drain faster, which would greatly reduce their lifespan. They might even be able to sense Tan Tong's location again.
He had considered exchanging seeds of extraordinary power for his parents, but they were already old and cursed, so the risk of accidents during their advancement to the extraordinary realm was extremely high, and Ye Lai dared not take such a risk.
"You silly child, why are you apologizing? You've made something of yourself, your parents are overjoyed."
Ye Zheng picked up a piece of meat and put it into Ye Lai's bowl.
"Yes, your dad's asthma is cured, and the environment here is nice. We can retire and enjoy life here. Why should we apologize or feel guilty?"
Jiang Juanli also said to Ye.
"Your mother and I are so happy to be able to live like this."
Ye Zheng said with a smile.
Ye Lai's parents were honest people who used to work in Fenyong Satellite City, doing small jobs. Ye Zheng worked in a factory, while his mother worked in a shoe factory.
The two raised Ye Lai with great difficulty. Ye Zheng's asthma often flared up, but they rarely used the expensive and effective drugs available in Australia. Instead, they used the most affordable and common medicines.
The money saved was used to buy Ye Lai some delicious food to bring back.
In Ye Zheng's words, since there's no cure anyway, and his health is what it is, he might as well let his child have a better life.
After Ye Lai became a superhuman, he wanted to bring good days to his two children, but he never expected to put his parents in danger and now he is also plagued by a curse.
"I will definitely help you break this curse."
Ye Lai said firmly.
...
After having dinner with my parents.
An extraordinary individual approached Ye Lai, his eyes filled with admiration: "Captain Zhu wants you to go find him."
Now the entire Extraordinary Center knows about Ye Lai's deeds: he withstood three blows from Jiang Tiandao, killed a terrifying and bizarre creature in ten seconds despite being of a higher level, and was the greatest contributor to the rescue operation.
"Good."
Ye Lai agreed, saying that after arriving here, he had gained some understanding of the person in charge of the Extraordinary Center and the various teams.
The Extraordinary Center operates on a leadership system, with nine leaders each leading a team and responsible for different functions within Hongshan City.
Zhu Yiwen's third team is responsible for the analysis and strategic work of the real-world economy of Hongshan City and the supernatural world.
Therefore, Zhu Yiwen also serves as the deputy city lord of Hongshan City, in charge of the economy. Tang Dao is the city lord and the first person in charge of Hongshan Center, overseeing the overall situation and leading the entire Hongshan City.
It represents the highest authority and strongest fighting force in Hongshan City.
Jiang Tiandao was also defeated by Tang Dao, and it's said that it happened more than once.
"Am I assigned to Team Three?"
Ye Lai felt a little disappointed. More than economics and analysis, he wanted to become stronger and break his parents' curse.
Jiang Tiandao and Lan Beihong's Team 8 and Team 6 were his best choices.
Ye Lai followed the extraordinary team members who admired him downstairs.
We arrived at the 75th floor of the Impermanence Hotel.
He met Zhu Yiwen, a guy with a big belly, thick eyebrows, and big eyes.
"You are Ye Lai?"
Zhu Yiwen was also sizing up Ye Lai.
"It's me. Have I been assigned to Team Three?"
Ye Lai said modestly.
"No, you're in Team One. Your captain is Tang Dao, but he has a lot of things to take care of right now. For the next few days, we captains will take turns leading you. Once Tang Dao returns, he'll lead you again."
Zhu Yiwen shook his head and said, "Today I'll first introduce you to some basic knowledge."
One team?
⑧Воок. Пм
The information in Zhu Yiwen's words surprised Ye Lai.
According to what he knew, the first team was the smallest team, with only three people, each of whom was a genius from the Hongshan Center.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to join.
"That's right, my performance was good enough."
Ye Lai thought about his performance at the murder hospital, and guessed that this was why he was able to join the first team.
"You need to study hard. The people in the first team are all perfectionists. I know you are very strong in terms of combat power, but you can't be lacking in theory either. Listen carefully."
Zhu Yiwen looked at Ye Lai and smiled, patting his head.
Then Zhu Yiwen led Ye Lai to a high-tech room, and with a gentle gesture, a map appeared in front of Ye Lai.
Nine key markers appeared above.
Do you know what this is?
Zhu Yiwen asked.
"I know, the map of the Great Xia Kingdom and its nine major cities."
Ye Lai immediately replied that this was something he had learned at the academy.
Three new locations have appeared on the map.
"This is the capital city of the Great Xia Dynasty and two autonomous cities."
Ye Lai blurted it out.
"That's right, now I'm going to tell you the first lesson."
Zhu Yiwen began to speak eloquently.
"....."
After this explanation, Ye Lai began to understand the organizational structure of the Extraordinary Center.
The Great Xia Kingdom has nine provinces, each with a central city and ninety-nine satellite cities. The central city has a population of over one hundred million, while the satellite cities have populations between one million and five million.
Each city has a supernatural center stationed there, with the headquarters of the supernatural center located in the royal city, and the first captain of the headquarters is the King of Xia.
"Do you know why the Great Xia King should take the throne?"
Zhu Yiwen asked a question.
"have no idea."
Ye Lai shook his head. Everyone knows there are supernatural centers, supernatural beings, and strange phenomena, but no one really has a clear understanding of these things.
"Because the King of Great Xia is the king of the Great Xia Kingdom? So he has to be the first captain?"
"...."
Zhu Yiwen shook his finger: "Then why is the King of Great Xia the King of Great Xia?"
"Because when the strange phenomenon occurred ten years ago, when order was at its most chaotic, the Great Xia King and other extraordinary beings took action to drive the strange world and strange creatures out of the Great Xia Kingdom."
This is something recorded in textbooks, and people call it the Battle of Dingguo. At this point, Ye Lai understood.
"Because the Great Xia King is the strongest, right?"
"....."
"Oh, right."
Zhu Yiwen nodded knowingly and said, "In the past, when humans were still weak individuals, combat strength was irrelevant. But when humans became superhumans, combat strength became equivalent to power."
"Only the strongest can become king, otherwise the entire organization will not be able to unite. Political power comes from combat strength."
"Those who can become superhumans are generally not weak. If you want to unite each superhuman center into a controllable organization, you can't win people over with virtue, because there will always be troublemakers like Jiang Tiandao who simply won't listen to reason."
"In this situation, the best way is to subdue him by beating him. Look at why Jiang Tiandao is so well-behaved. It's because Tang Dao personally fought him to the death three times and dominated him every time."
"...."
Is it inappropriate to use another team leader as an example?
Ye Lai wanted to say this, but he held back and didn't say it. In his heart, he once again raised his opinion of Tang Island's strength to a new level.
"So Ye Lai, no matter what, you must remember one thing: the strong rule, that is the fundamental law of this extraordinary era."
⑻bОok． cΟm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
Might makes right. Only when one's own combat strength is strong enough can one bring other extraordinary individuals under one's command. Only in this way can an effective and controllable organization be formed, and only then can a greater force be unleashed.
Ye Lai had thought about these ideas before, but this was the first time they had been laid bare.
"Third-tier individuals are called extraordinary beings. If you can become a third-tier extraordinary being, you can go to the extraordinary center in a satellite city to be in charge, but it's only in a satellite city. Fourth-tier to sixth-tier individuals have another title, called Saints, which means transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood."
"Only by becoming a Saint can one continue to move upwards and become the person in charge of the central city. In our Hongshan City, the minimum requirement for every captain is to become a fourth-level being."
"Those who become higher up can go to the royal capital headquarters to become captains."
Zhu Yiwen continued to speak eloquently.
"In the Great Xia Kingdom, the most important thing for a position is combat strength; combat strength determines your position."
"You were recruited into the first team and received personal guidance from several of our team captains because of your potential."
"....."
"Understood. Might makes right, and combat strength is paramount. The stronger an extraordinary person is, the higher their position will be, and the more decisions they can make."
Ye Lai nodded to indicate that he understood the principle.
"That's right. So no matter where you are or what position you hold in the future, you must never give up on your own training. Otherwise, your combat strength will drop, and you will definitely lose your position."
Zhu Yiwen took a book from the bookshelf in the room—The Principles of Bizarre Economics.
"Besides combat strength, the second important thing is the issue of principle. We'll discuss this with you when the second person in charge returns. This isn't my forte; my forte is the third point—the economy."
Zhu Yiwen opened the book and asked, "You should have studied historical economics in school. Let me ask you, what was the economy of the old era based on?"
"It is based on currency, just like our current Daxia currency."
"I've studied this before," Ye replied.
"Not bad. Now let me ask you, what was the anchor of currency in the old days?"
Zhu Yiwen continued to ask.
"Precious metals such as gold and silver are sometimes anchored to currencies between countries, and there are also fiat currencies, etc."
Ye replied.
"Then let me ask you again, what is the anchor of our Great Xia currency now?"
Zhu Yiwen asked earnestly.
"Um..."
Ye Lai was stumped for the first time; this was a question he hadn't actually considered. "Is it gold or other precious metals? I know I'm wrong, this is just a guess."
"That's not right. Precious metals were the hard currency in the old days. After the arrival of the strange world, precious metals have lost their basis as currency. You can imagine, suppose one day you enter a strange world where everything is gold."
Zhu Yiwen laughed.
"Such a bizarre world exists?"
Ye Lai asked a question.
"All sorts of bizarre worlds exist. You haven't experienced many, so you don't know. What if this person is a powerful figure who brings back all the gold in the world? What if he possesses more gold than the entire world? Then, will gold still be useful? No, it won't."
"The current anchors are strange objects; these are the real currency. Paper money is just something that can be printed as much as you want."
⑧вOOk. соm
"When we have a lot of paper money in the city, we only need to take out a strange item to bring back the excess Daxia currency in the entire market, so that this money does not flow into the places where the city residents need to eat, drink, live and travel."
Zhu Yiwen pointed, and a 3D projection appeared in front of him.
"We need to maintain a certain growth in the money circulating in the city, but we can't let this growth be too much and flow to places where it shouldn't. For example, the meat and vegetables that city dwellers need to eat are things that shouldn't flow to. That's the charm of the economy: finding the most suitable point among various boundaries and keeping everything developing steadily and upward."
The 3D projection continuously changed scenes as Zhu Yiwen spoke, illustrating his meaning.
"Of course, it's difficult for you to fully understand all of this in one day, but I want you to know the importance of the economy. If you can control the economy well, you can control most things, such as unpredictable strategies and the results obtained through intelligence gathering. I've seen your resume, and you have that talent."
"....."
Ye Lai nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. He spent the rest of the afternoon listening to Zhu Yiwen's explanations, which, combined with 3D projection, introduced him to many strange economic principles he had never heard of before.
For example, he sold the broken ghost pistol for 140 million, which was a loss-making deal. If he had put it on the market where there was no market for it, this strange equipment would have been worth a billion.
This world has no shortage of wealthy people, but it lacks bizarre items, because 99 percent of things related to the supernatural are in the hands of the Center for the Extraordinary.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like Zhu Yiwen is implying that the economy is very important, but the economy is indeed very important, isn't it?"
Ye Lai also sensed that Zhu Yiwen was mixing in a lot of personal opinions during his explanation, but these personal opinions were actually very correct.
...
After the afternoon session, I had dinner with Ye Zheng and Jiang Juanli. The couple watched TV happily in their room, looking very relaxed and content.
"If it weren't for the curse of the Golden Bloodline reducing the lifespan of ordinary people, staying at the Impermanence Hotel would be quite nice."
Ye Lai thought to himself, "The Wuchang Hotel is extremely large, with everything inside and many other facilities outside. It can be said to be an excellent place for retirement."
After dinner.
Ye Lai arrived at the 41st floor again.
This is Lan Beihong's floor. When Ye Lai entered Lan Beihong's room, he was looking through documents.
The thick document, which was a meter high, was read by Lan Beihong in just one minute.
Did Zhu Yiwen say a lot of strange things when he was explaining things to you this afternoon?
Lan Beihong put down his pen and spoke to Ye, who had been standing behind him for a minute.
"There's nothing strange about it, but they emphasized the importance of the economy many times."
Ye said.
"Then you need to think about it carefully. It's true that the economy is very important, but within this big topic, are some of the smaller things deliberately stuffed into your head? People who work in economics are very good at this kind of sophistry, injecting their own interpretations into the truth."
"Like I said, intelligence is very important, and you can't argue with that. So the question is, which is more important?"
Lan Beihong said gently.
"It depends on the actual situation."
Ye then shared his thoughts.
"Wrong. Strength is the most important thing. If you are strong, you can make the economy strong even if it is weak. If you are weak, you are helpless no matter how much intelligence you have."
Lan Beihong turned to face Ye Lai, a faint light emanating from his body: "Come on, I'll take you to see the Skynet."
8Book. Som
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
A faint light emanated from Lan Beihong's body, but Ye Lai was so blinded by the brightness that he couldn't open his eyes.
When Ye Lai opened his eyes again, he was already high in the sky, and below him was the tiny Hongshan City.
Looking up, there was a faint light curtain, which was the Skynet. Outside the Skynet were the black gaps that Ye Lai had seen before, except that outside the Skynet, these gaps were much larger in length and width than the Skynet itself.
"The black gaps you see are the link between the real world and the eerie world. Every time the black gaps open and close, it means that an eerie world or a strange monster may appear here."
Seeing Ye Lai's surprised expression, Lan Beihong explained, "Of course, this is only a possibility, and the larger the gap in the rift, the more likely the strange invasion and descent will occur."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lai saw an ugly monster wearing a mask fell from the dark crevice, turning into ashes automatically upon encountering Skynet.
"The Skynet can suppress the size of the gaps, so there are very few strange monsters that can come out of the gaps. The invasion of the strange world is even more pitiful. The invasion of the Murder Hospital was caused by Tan Tong of the Golden Family personally taking action."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lai fell silent. He knew that Tan Tong's ultimate goal was him, because it was Tan Tong who caused the strange invasion.
"This situation already violates our agreement with the strange world."
"Furthermore, within the Skynet's coverage area, aside from being forced to enter the selection the first time, people can choose to refuse entry afterwards..."
"...."
It wasn't until 10 pm that Lan Beihong finished explaining the functions of Skynet to Ye Lai, including the parts that extraordinary individuals could use as the Extraordinary Center.
It must be said that Skynet's power far exceeded Ye Lai's imagination.
Because of the Skynet system, Hongshan City and even the entire Great Xia Kingdom were able to maintain normal life even as the bizarre world was about to descend.
Although life is still tough, it's still better than the chaotic period ten years ago.
This is not a peaceful era. Only the Great Xia Kingdom is at peace; other countries do not have Skynet.
"It's getting late today. Tomorrow I'll take you to see what it's like to be a full member of the Extraordinary Center."
Lan Beihong said, "Today's lesson is now over."
...
This time, Ye Lai went back to his room and fell asleep without doing anything.
After the battle at the murder hospital and attending two classes, Ye Lai's spirit was completely exhausted.
The next day.
Lan Beihong took Ye Lai to a hot pot restaurant in Hongshan City, which was very popular.
The two found an empty table and sat down.
"Formal members need to complete three things: first, complete the tasks assigned by the Extraordinary Center; second, enter the bizarre world regularly; and finally, play their own profession, digest their profession, improve their proficiency, and prepare for advancement."
Lan Beihong spoke to Ye Lai, but only he and Ye Lai could hear his voice.
Ye Lai knew about the role-playing method; he had heard of it before when he used crystals to learn about the secrets of the extraordinary.
"The advancement of extraordinary individuals can only be achieved after they have fully mastered their respective professions. Therefore, when they have free time, the members of the Extraordinary Center will play their respective professions in various parts of the Great Xia Kingdom."
"Like Tan Xiaoyun, that's the role she plays here."
Lan Beihong said.
"Make way! Make way! Don't block my way! Whoever blocks my way will regret it!"
With a loud shout, the entire hot pot restaurant was silenced.
A little girl wearing a mask came down carrying a tall plate. She casually tossed the food plate around, but it landed precisely where the food was to be served.
"good!"
"This performance was amazing! It was definitely worth the trip!"
⑻ЬОΟk. cοм
"This young lady is amazing!"
The diners applauded the performance; more than the food, the waiters' entertainment was the real reason people came to the restaurant.
"So this is the legendary frisbee waiter."
Ye Lai had heard before that there was a super waiter in a shop in Hongshan City who was very strong and agile, and whose performances were very impressive.
"So this is Tan Xiaoyun!"
Moreover, Ye Lai immediately recognized the waitress's identity as Tan Xiaoyun herself.
"So that means all those strange rumors I heard in Hongshan City are true, and they were all just superhuman members playing the roles themselves?"
Ye Lai recalled the strange tales that would circulate on the city's internet every now and then, such as witch hunters and poker card fortune tellers with incredibly accurate predictions.
Looking back now, it was all the extraordinary team members who played these roles.
He used to scoff at these things, but now he sees why.
Among the cheering diners, Ye Lai also spotted an acquaintance.
A glamorous and beautiful girl and a quiet man wearing round glasses.
The girl was Cui Li, whom Ye Lai had met at the Happy Cinema.
"What's she doing here?"
Ye Lai marveled at the wonder of fate, especially since the two were so close.
Cui Li also saw Ye Lai, and her face instantly became very embarrassed. However, she still said a few words to the man next to her, and then came to Ye Lai's side.
"Thank you so much for saving my life before. I've always wanted to express my gratitude, but I haven't had your contact information and haven't been able to get in touch with you."
Cui Li came to express her gratitude. Without Ye Lai, she wouldn't have been able to survive that hellish place.
"It's nothing."
Ye replied that he hadn't taken these things to heart.
"Then.."
Cui Li then said somewhat shyly, "I actually have a boyfriend. I hope you won't tell him about what happened at the Happy Cinema. I love him very much, and we're already planning to get married."
Ye Lai had guessed this when she saw them, but she never expected the two of them to get married. As for what the Happy Cinema incident was, it was naturally something between her and Wang Yuan.
"Don't worry, I won't tell."
Ye replied that he hadn't touched Cui Li, so this matter definitely had nothing to do with him. If anyone should be mentioned, it was Wang Yuan. Speaking of which, he hadn't had time to check his phone since he came back. He had fallen asleep last night and would check it when he got back tonight.
"Yes, anyway, thank you again."
Cui Li thanked Ye Lai and then returned to her seat.
The man next to Ye Lai even came over and had a drink with him, thanking Ye Lai for his help to Cui Li at the Happy Cinema.
Afterwards, Cui Li left the store hand in hand with the man, looking very affectionate and sweet.
This was just a side story; Ye Lai's purpose was for Lan Beihong to bring him to familiarize himself with the work of the Extraordinary Team members.
"To advance in rank, besides digesting the effects, you also need a seed of extraordinary power corresponding to a higher-ranking profession. Does this Extraordinary Center have that?"
Ye Lai asked Lan Beihong.
"If you want to advance to the second tier, most of the common second-tier professions are available. There aren't many advanced professions. There are nine warrior-level professions, but we don't have any king-level professions at Hongshan Center. Tan Xiaoyun can go and select a Seed of Power to advance in a few days."
Lan Beihong said with a smile.
⑻bOOK. СΟm
© All content is copyrighted by its respective owner or author.
After watching the role-playing method, Lan Beihong took Ye Lai to watch the process of the extraordinary team members carrying out their mission.
After completing all of this, Ye Lai returned to his room, and that was the end of his day.
Today's classes were less crowded than yesterday.
Back in my room, I picked up my phone, which I hadn't touched in a while.
After returning to reality from the murder hospital, Ye Lai met with his parents. After the meeting, he attended classes with the two team leaders. The next day, he continued attending classes, leaving Ye Lai no time to check his phone.
It's strange, but when I was an ordinary person, I had to carry my phone with me for everything. After becoming a superhuman, my phone seems to have become just an ordinary tool.
Use it when you want, and don't look at it when you don't want to.
Is giving up your phone one of the characteristics of becoming extraordinary?
Turn on your phone.
Another bunch of missed calls, mostly from Xu Hengheng, who also sent a bunch of messages.
"The food is all ready, why aren't you answering the phone?"
"Boss, did you go to that weird, invaded world?"
...
In addition, there were a bunch of messages from former colleagues, all inviting me to dinner, offering their condolences, and Li Mengmeng sending a text message to thank me for treating her to dinner.
"They always want to treat me to meals, but I'm really short on time."
Ye Lai ignored these messages.
I opened Xiaobo and Dayin, both of which are currently the most popular media software.
The topic of the strange invasion of Hongshan City is currently the number one trending search.
This was the second day after Ye Lai was released from the murder hospital.
However, it's still number one, which shows just how popular it is.
The official news report accurately reported the death toll and the circumstances, and posthumously honored the six people who died in the rescue operation as Burning Stars.
This title means that although the person is dead, their soul burns eternally.
Upon seeing familiar names like Luo Xingyu and Yang Jian, Ye Laiye felt a surge of emotion.
Sacrificing oneself to save others—that's a level of dedication he simply couldn't achieve.
Ye Lai admires these people from the bottom of his heart.
Open the comments.
"Those who are extraordinary are the most beautiful people."
"The bizarre world is truly despicable. When will we be able to wipe it out completely!"
"The Extraordinary Center must keep up the good work..."
It is almost entirely filled with praise, admiration and regret for the deceased superhumans.
Occasionally, there are reproachful statements, such as "What is the Extraordinary Center doing? Why is there still a strange invasion?"
The room was filled with curses.
Most of those who made these remarks were minors who had not actually experienced the chaos of ten years ago and had no memory of that time.
Anyone who experienced what happened ten years ago will still feel happy about the peace we have now.
It's worth noting that during the chaotic period ten years ago, a town with a population of five million was swallowed up and taken away by a strange world.
It was at that time that the Great Xia King and a group of powerful figures appeared, destroyed the strange world that was devouring the town, and wiped out all the strange worlds and creatures.
This meant that the Great Xia Kingdom experienced less than six months of turmoil when the strange phenomenon occurred.
But those six months of memories are enough to be etched in the minds of everyone who is still alive, so that people will remember the eerie horror.
"Sorry everyone, I'm his dad. I just saw the message this kid posted and I was just about to give him a beating. Sorry if it disturbs you all."
"Me too, I'll beat them up later too."
One comment below mentioned that a video of a crying child had also been posted.
⑻ЬooK． com
Seeing this, Ye Lai felt relieved.
If people who sacrifice themselves like this are still insulted, it's truly disheartening.
Put down your phone.
Ye Lai opened the online store.
Currently, we have 15,200 Blue Mysterious Crystals, 1,800 Red Mysterious Crystals, and 100 Dragon Soul Crystals.
There are so many crystals; these are all symbols of power and influence.
The store's interface has also changed to 'Happy Cinema' and 'Murder Hospital (Full Version)'.
Now he can exchange for many things.
To become stronger, you either need to upgrade your equipment, advance your rank, or upgrade your skills.
After thinking it over, Ye Lai first exchanged for an item called the Ancient Ring.
[Name: The Mysterious Ring from the Ancients]
Category: Jewelry
[Rank: Second Rank]
[Quality: Fragmented Epic]
[Description: This is a ring that holds a special secret, but no one knows how to find it. In addition, it possesses special magic and can be released as a protective shield. It can be used three times a day in the real world and five times in the supernatural world.]
[Hint: The secrets recorded on the ring are far more important than its effects.]
The main reason for exchanging this ring is because it comes from Happy Cinema, and the clue also says that there are secrets inside. Ye Lai always felt that his first world was not simple.
A rather antique-looking ring appeared on Ye Lai's middle finger.
Goodness, this ring can only be worn on the middle finger.
Ye Lai then continued exchanging items, this time exchanging for a longsword.
This longsword came from the murder hospital.
[Name: The Mysterious Sword]
[Category: Weapons]
[Rank: First Rank]
[Quality: Excellent]
[Introduction: This is a sword wielded by a human who fell into a murder hospital. It appeared alongside a mysterious man shouting "PUBG!" After killing more than a dozen strange creatures, it grew stronger and stronger. It was later killed by the hospital director, Tan Tong, and the sword turned into an ordinary longsword. However, Tan Tong believed it possessed mysterious power, so he placed it in his collection.]
[Hint: The secret of this sword lies in slaying the supernatural. Each supernatural being slain adds a layer of mysterious power, up to a maximum of twenty layers.]
What a deadly sword!
It just so happens that Ye Lailai can use it. His One-Sword Kill only produces a long sword phantom when he uses it. Otherwise, he has to fight with his Vajra Body, bare-handed.
Unlike other professions that have their own professional weapons, Ye Lai had asked Lan Beihong about this. It was their professional talent, just like Jiang Tiandao's first-tier talent, which was called the Thirsty Greatsword.
Place both items in the invisible backpack.
Ye Lai continued to examine the specimens, this time focusing on the second-tier extraordinary power seed.
With the addition of the murder hospital, the types of second-tier extraordinary power seeds have increased significantly, such as second-tier extraordinary professions like surgical experts and attending physicians.
Without exception, all of them indicated that they did not match Ye Lai's Tier 1 profession and could not be upgraded.
"Don't rush, let me improve my professional skills first."
Ye Lai said to himself, "Only when my proficiency increases can I advance to the second-tier profession. Don't be so impatient. Focus on completing the tasks at hand. You can't get fat in one bite."
Anxiety, like fear, is a major enemy of reason; excessive anxiety can lead people to do irrational things.
Ye Lai used the remaining 100 Dragon Soul Crystals to increase his class proficiency, aiming to max it out first and then consider advancing to the next class later. That was Ye Lai's plan.
[Prompt: Do you want to invest 100 Dragon Soul Crystals to increase the proficiency of the exclusive class 'Awakener'?]

confirm."
Ye Lai made the decision later.
[The first-tier exclusive class 'Awakener' has gained 100 proficiency points, currently at level 1 proficiency]
[Proficiency level is sufficient; a second-tier seed can be used to enter a second-tier profession without the risk of becoming monstrous.]
"Is 100 Dragon Soul Crystals enough?"
This was beyond Ye Lai's expectations; he hadn't anticipated that improving proficiency would cost far less than upgrading skills.
"It's only level 1 proficiency, does that mean it can be increased further? But there's no risk of metamorphosis now, so there's no need."
Ye Lai pondered, "The key now is to find a second-tier exclusive class that will allow me to advance to the next tier."
[Hint: Do you want to spend 2000 Blue Mysterious Crystals to learn the 'Exclusive Secret (Tier 2)'?]
"Determine the cost."
Without a doubt, this is what Ye Lai needs most right now.
The information entered Ye Lai's mind, letting him know how his exclusive profession could advance to the second tier.
Unlike ordinary professions, there are two ways for exclusive professions to advance to the second tier.
The first method is to find a power whose nature is no worse than that of a first-tier power to serve as a seed for a second-tier extraordinary power.
The second method is to upgrade one of your skills to level 5, thereby creating a new exclusive profession based on that skill.
"So it's all very troublesome."
Ye Lai discovered the difficulty of the first and second methods.
His unique profession relies on the extraordinary power seed condensed from the power of the Executor, and what level of profession is the power seed of the Executor equivalent to?
It's definitely not ordinary; even advanced level probably can't compare. Is it Warrior or King? Or even Epic?
To upgrade your skill to level 5, you need to double the level 4 requirement, which is 800 Dragon Soul Crystals.
Dragon Soul Crystals can only be obtained from the strange beings of noble bloodlines. Where can he find such strange beings?
After thinking it over, Ye Lai decided to go find Lan Beihong.
He needs to ask some questions.
...
It was already 11 pm, almost midnight. Ye Lai arrived at Lan Beihong's room on the 41st floor and knocked on the door, saying:
"Blue Team, I have a few questions."
"..."
Please come in.
Lan Beihong's voice came through.
Ye Lai opened the door and entered. Lan Beihong was already dressed. The bright moonlight shone through the window and fell on him, making him appear calm and serene.
"I've run into a problem and have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
Ye Lai cut to the chase, saying, "Do you know what inspectors and executive officers are?"
Lan Beihong seemed surprised to hear those two words from Ye Lai's mouth. His usually composed face showed a hint of astonishment. After a moment's thought, he said:
"There is a great secret behind these two words. Even if I told you, you are not in a position to bear this secret. I can tell you when you reach the level of a saint. It's not possible now."
"....."
"Unable to bear it?"
Ye Lai hadn't expected such an answer; he had prepared his response before coming.
After the Golden Bloodline's curse was discovered, he realized that people must already know about his killing of Tanya at the Happy Cinema.
⑧ьooK. COM
If asked how you know, just tell the truth and say that the executor killed Tanya.
"Secrets themselves possess power. Without sufficient strength, even if I were to tell you, you would only die on the spot because you cannot bear it."
Lan Beihong said, "Knowing a secret requires qualifications. The secret you want to know requires the qualifications of a Saint, at least the fourth level."
Are there any other questions?
Lan Beihong did not ask Ye Lai why he knew about these people that he shouldn't know at the moment.
"...."
"Yes, my professional proficiency is high enough that I can now advance to the second tier. I want to see if there are any second-tier extraordinary power seeds in the extraordinary center that are suitable for me."
Ye Lai didn't press the matter further. Knowing the secret when one's strength is insufficient would only lead to death, so it was better not to know.
"Okay, tomorrow Zhu Yiwen will take you to the Power Seed Vault. You can go and see if there are any suitable ones for you."
Lan Beihong adjusted his bangs: "If there isn't one suitable for you, you can apply to enter a special, bizarre world for one person and see if you can find one, but this method is quite dangerous."
"Okay, thank you."
Ye Lai hadn't expected that Lan Beihong would even have thought of scenarios that didn't exist. After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Lai left.
In the room, Lan Beihong was adjusting his flowing bangs, his demeanor shifting from quiet composure to cold indifference.
"Executive, inspector, the Golden Family, killing Tanya... It's been a long time since I've seen such a genius."
...
Early the next morning.
Ye Lai got up and went to Zhu Yiwen's room, waiting for him to appear.
As soon as Zhu Yiwen stepped outside, he saw Ye Lai and his expression changed from impatience to enthusiasm. He asked Ye Lai if he had any opinions on economic issues.
After Ye Lai made his request, Zhu Yiwen said, "I was just thinking about what reward to give you few survivors. How about using the second-tier extraordinary power seed?"
In the past few days, besides giving lectures to Ye, Zhu Yiwen has been calculating rewards and compensation.
Zhu Yiwen led Ye Lai to the outside of the Wuchang Hotel, next to the Hongshan headquarters of Xiashang Bank.
Both are located in the core area of Skynet.
When the staff at the Hongshan headquarters of Xiashang Bank saw Zhu Yiwen, they all looked respectful. Led by the special manager, the two went to the sixth basement level of Xiashang Bank.
Ye Lai never imagined that there was a hidden world below.
After a series of complex verifications, Zhu Yiwen opened the repository of extraordinary power seeds.
Hundreds of seeds, each emitting a different color of light, floated in the storage room.
"The second-tier ones are all here: 256 ordinary ones, 21 advanced ones, and 3 warrior ones."
Zhu Yiwen said.
"Is there no king?"
Ye Lai asked, "I have some Tier 2 high-level extraordinary power seeds in my shop, but none of them are suitable. I estimate that my exclusive profession is above the Warrior level."
"No, you can go to headquarters and see. Even if they had it, you wouldn't be able to get it."
Zhu Yiwen's face darkened. Good heavens, they actually want the King-level.
Ye Lai walked into the storage room and immediately saw the three brightest seeds. Unfortunately, the display showed that they were all ineligible and below the first-tier exclusive profession.
Alright, now I can confirm that my Awakened class is definitely at least King level.
"It's normal for them not to match. Many people are like this because they can only stay in the first order because there is no matching second-order seed."
Zhu Yiwen comforted him, "But there is another way. You can enter the strange world of seeds and find them yourself."
"Given your past achievements at the murder hospital, you are eligible to enter, but you'll have to wait six days. Feng Jingqi entered yesterday, and you'll have to wait for him to come out first."

Ye Lai remembered Feng Jingqi. According to the "bomb escape" plan, he should have died, but when he returned, someone told him that Feng Jingqi had survived.
After returning to the real world, Ye Lai has been busy spending time with his parents and attending classes.
He rarely went out, and unexpectedly, he ended up in a bizarre, solitary world.
"During this rescue operation, he successfully upgraded one of his skills to level four and plans to advance to the next level."
Zhu Yiwen said, "Actually, there are second-tier professions like swordsmen in the seed bank, but he wanted something stronger, so he entered the solo weird world."
"There is only one such eerie world in the center of Hongshan."
"..."
Are there any other ways to obtain higher-quality career seeds?
Ye Lai asked.
"The Supernatural Center Ace Tournament is held once a year. If you can win this tournament, you can also get a seed. If you can get first place, you will be given an epic seed and you will also be able to meet the Great Xia King and make a reasonable request."
Zhu Yiwen mentioned a competition, "However, this competition will not officially start for another month and a half, in June."
"You can try your best this time, but don't even think about winning the championship."
"....."
"This is not self-praise; I believe I am invincible at the first level."
Ye Lai humbly uttered words that betrayed his pride.
"I also think that there aren't many people in the Great Xia Kingdom who are stronger than you at the first level," Zhu Yiwen did not refute, and even agreed. "But in the Ace Tournament of the Extraordinary Center, the first to third levels are in one area, and then the fourth, fifth and sixth levels are in another area. You will also have to compete against third-level extraordinary individuals."
"Being invincible at Tier 1 doesn't mean you can maintain your superiority at Tier 2 or Tier 3."
"..."
"Is that so? That's certainly true."
Ye Lai nodded, indicating that he also agreed with Zhu Yiwen's analysis. Each advancement in rank meant gaining an additional profession, new talents, and skills. This advantage was exponential, not simply a matter of 1+1=2.
"I must participate in this Ace Tournament. Both the seed and the audience with the Great Xia King are exactly what he needs right now. With a high-level professional seed, he can become stronger, and the Great Xia King's intervention can help remove the curse from his parents."
Ye Lai thought to himself.
"It's good to be confident, but my advice is to wait until you reach the peak of Tier 3 before participating, because each person can only participate in such an ace tournament once."
Zhu Yiwen offered his advice.
"No, I have to participate this year. As soon as Feng Jingqi comes out, I will immediately enter the solo eerie world."
Ye Lai said decisively.
The fourth person in charge, Wan Yuhua, had spoken with him privately. For ordinary people like his parents, such a bloodline curse meant that waiting for a year was equivalent to consuming ten years of their lifespan.
If I didn't know before, that was fine, but now that I do, I have to participate and use the Great Xia King's reasonable request to help my parents break the curse.
Ye Lai then gained a more detailed understanding of the Superb Center's Ace Tournament.
The following lessons were practice sessions with Jiang Tiandao, which were actually combat exercises.
Jiang Tiandao directly used his second-tier combat power to fight Ye Lai. Ye Lai could easily kill the terrifying and bizarre creature, but he was at a disadvantage when facing Jiang Tiandao in his second-tier state.
He always managed to suppress Jiang Tiandao completely. Jiang Tiandao's second-tier skill was definitely not weak, but there were certainly many geniuses among those participating in the Ace Tournament.
This also proves that Zhu Yiwen's analysis is correct; Ye Lai's chances of winning first place in the Ace Tournament are now virtually zero.
Ye Lai has the potential to take first place in the youth group, but that was Ye Lai at the third tier, not Ye Lai at this moment.
After the battle, Ye Lai, exhausted, went to find Wan Yuhua, accompanied by Jiang Tiandao. The two of them received treatment from Wan Yuhua together.
Finally, Ye returned to his room, reflected on his shortcomings for the day, and fell into a deep sleep.

...
This went on for half a month.
For the past two weeks, Ye Lai has been like a sponge, rapidly absorbing various theoretical knowledge while accumulating experience in fighting superhumans.
The four team captains took turns instructing Ye Lai, and they were extremely satisfied with Ye Lai's performance, wishing they could transfer Ye Lai to their teams right now.
Everyone at the Extraordinary Center knows that Hongshan Center has gained another genius extraordinary individual.
Several people in charge personally took care of him. Even when Wang Yuan and Tan Xiaoyun wanted to contact Ye Lai, they were interrupted because Ye Lai's time was precious. He had to participate in the Supernatural Center's Ace Tournament, so he had to make the most of this month and a half.
On the sixteenth day, as Ye Lai was going downstairs to head to the combat training base to fight Jiang Tiandao, someone called out to him: "Boss! Boss Ye Lai!"
A familiar voice called out to Ye Lai; it was none other than Xu Hengheng, the chubby boy from before.
"No wonder you haven't answered my calls all this time. Turns out you're a genius here, boss. I've heard all about it."
"I've also awakened as a superhuman. My profession is [Cursed Apprentice], and it's a high-level profession. I just happened to be here to register today, and I didn't expect to run into you."
"I know, I know you're busy right now. I just wanted to remind you, remember to grab a bite together sometime!"
Before Ye Lai could speak, Xu Hengheng finished speaking in one breath.
"Okay, when I have time."
Ye Lai thought for a moment and replied that he remembered promising the chubby boy a meal when he entered the hospital.
However, he'll definitely have to wait a long time before he has time, as his time is very precious right now.
It wouldn't hurt to have a meal together when we have some free time.
"Okay~, go ahead and get busy."
Xu Hengheng looked flattering and happy.
...
After this brief encounter, Ye Lai continued on to the combat training base, which was located next to the Wuchang Hotel and was also part of the Extraordinary Center's property.
Jiang Tiandao had been waiting here for a long time, but today, unusually, he wasn't carrying his broadsword.
Why didn't you bring a knife today?
Ye Lai asked.
"Because that kid Feng is out, I won't fight you today. I'll take you to a solo weird world."
Jiang Tiandao said, and then led Ye Lai to another place.
Ye Lai had never been to this place before.
It is located near the Wuchang Hotel and the combat training base, forming a triangle with these two places.
Extraordinary Era Research Institute.
This large building has this name written on it, but no one goes in or out of it.
"Come on, let's go in. The solitary eerie world is inside."
Jiang Tiandao led Ye Lai into the research institute.
The buildings here are even colder than the Impermanence Hotel, and there is only one entrance.
Inside, there's a completely different world.
"Special Laboratory," "Routine Monitoring in Hongshan City," "Latest Special Forces Research," "Strange Creature Research Lab"...
