Chapter 238: Chapter 237 3-0111_1
The next morning, Fu Qian scrutinized the bracelet before him in the light streaming into the living room.
Although she was extremely reluctant, Tan Ying still honored her bet and handed over the unusual bracelet to him.
Now, under the sunlight, it appeared round and plump, as clear as congealed ice—complementing his current skin tone.
Indeed, to acquire this item, he had not only lost 180,000 but also used a Blasphemy’s Embrace, and he was still under the effects of the Discoloration Curse.
Fu Qian extended his hand to the sunlight where his entire palm appeared almost translucent, refracting a strange luster.
Before Tan Ying noticed anything unusual yesterday, he had excused himself and gone home, stating that it was not a good day for hosting friends.
As for her questions, he had responded with a mysterious smile, giving her boundless room for imagination.
After returning, out of caution, he did not visit the warehouse until the Discoloration Curse had ended.
But Fu Qian had not been idle; during these 24 hours, he had been pondering his recent experiences.
By now, he could no longer consider this merely a job.
It was evident that he was influencing this world, especially after ascending to Demigod status.
As a person of principle, Fu Qian was neither interested in controlling others nor intent on harming the innocent, which was why he was willing to pay a hefty sum for this item.
The bracelet clearly had an eerie quality. Yesterday, he could clearly sense that Tan Ying’s body was in a special state of overdraft.
This condition gave her excellent vitality and complexion, but over time the consequences might not be favorable.
If these inconspicuous traps were indeed his doing, Fu Qian did not mind paying a price to deal with them.
But there was a problem: what if it wasn’t him?
Fu Qian didn’t recall any special contact with Tan Ying, not to mention she had acquired the bracelet after her birthday.
If it wasn’t him, then could it have been someone else?
Or could it be that the world naturally harbored these strange items, and that they had gone undiscovered because no one else had become a Transcendent like him?
Contemplating these possibilities led to intriguing thoughts.
He would need to keep an eye out for similar items in the future.
Of course, he should try not to acquire them through purchase if possible.
While it felt good to intimidate Tan Ying, losing money hit the wallet hard.
As he made up his mind, Fu Qian began to feel warmer; the duration of the Discoloration Curse had come to an end.
Fu Qian did not hesitate and immediately grabbed the bracelet, activating the mark.
[Identity verification complete, today’s work begins]
[Warning, containment breach]
As soon as he entered the warehouse, the familiar voice came through.
Fu Qian was not surprised by this and casually placed the bracelet on a nearby table.
In the dim light, it emitted a clear, ghostly glow.
The stone lion had vanished in an instant after entering the warehouse last time; indeed, this item must be far more potent.
[Name: Black Sheep, Code: 3-0111]
Before he could take a closer look, new prompts followed quickly.
[Today’s work content has been updated: Enter the containment scene of 3-0111, complete the recontainment]
[Current SAN Points: 195, current Inspiration: 56]
[Select your Skills and Equipment]
He could freely choose his skills, and this time things had finally returned to normal.
Fu Qian was very satisfied with the prompts and expertly configured his skills and equipment.
He even took along the Worm Whistle, which he had obtained last time.
[Entering the containment scene of 3-0111]
[…1%…5%…15%…45%…75%…95%…100%, containment scene loading complete]
[This is a quiet town, a paradise on earth.
The sunlight is warm, and the scenery is enchanting.
As a traveler, you arrive at dusk and plan to spend a leisurely vacation here.
But what you don’t know is that this place is far more special than you imagine]
“Byeluk has arrived!”
As his perception returned, Fu Qian heard someone shouting ahead; simultaneously, his body swayed.
When he opened his eyes, he was sitting on a bus surrounded by passengers, and the vehicle hadn’t completely come to a stop yet.
Is this place called Byeluk?
Fu Qian checked his body and found that not a single ring was missing from his gear, and his strength hadn’t been restricted in any way.
A vacation trip, huh?
Fu Qian cheerfully daydreamed for a moment.
Not only were his abilities unrestricted, but even his items started with the number 3.
Could it be that yesterday’s mission was so perilous that this was specifically meant as compensation?
While contemplating, Fu Qian picked up his suitcase from beside him and got off the bus under the gaze of a crowd of people.
Standing by the roadside, he surveyed the surroundings, finding that the town indeed offered a beautiful scenery, just as described.
The architectural style was a bit retro; the exterior walls were uniformly painted in blue and white, appearing fresh and tranquil under the afterglow of the setting sun.
At the same time, Fu Qian noticed that he seemed to be the only person who had gotten off the bus, and it had promptly driven away.
[Current mission updated, enter the town]
Is this even a mission?
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Fu Qian couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
They wouldn’t make it this easy, right?
As he was thinking, Fu Qian caught sight of a burly man in a trench coat out of the corner of his eye.
The latter was staring straight at him and quickly walked over.
“I’m Chief Harry.”
The newcomer approached and initiated a greeting.
“What brings you to Byeluk?”
After introducing himself, Chief Harry sized up Fu Qian from head to toe.
They’re not welcoming to newcomers, are they?
Fu Qian remembered the introduction from just before.
“Vacation.”
Although the man in front of him looked as strong as an ox, he was clearly just an ordinary person, posing no threat to Fu Qian.
Vacation?
Chief Harry repeated the word with a frown.
“Sorry, I need to check your identification documents.”
Are they always this strict?
Fu Qian felt in his pocket and handed over a card.
Harry received it, first looking at the information on it, then checking it over twice, finally relaxing his expression.
“Don’t worry, friend, I’m just making sure you’re not a Transcendent.”
Returning the card to Fu Qian, a faint smile squeezed onto his face.
Making sure I’m not a Transcendent?
Fu Qian was taken aback by these words.
It was his first time encountering such a custom.
“You don’t welcome Transcendents here?”
“Of course not!”
Chief Harry’s expression showed it was obvious.
“Byeluk doesn’t welcome supers, this is an absolute Transcendent-free residential area! Didn’t you research before coming?”
“Not really.”
Fu Qian replied with a smile, taking back his ID and trying his best to conceal his aura.
“No problem, as long as you know this place is very safe, I wish you a pleasant vacation!”
“Thank you!”
After a brief negotiation, under the watchful eye of Chief Harry, Fu Qian carried his suitcase and entered Byeluk.
[Current mission updated, determine the cause of death for the Demigod Herrom]
This…
The mission prompt ringing in his ears made Fu Qian almost think he had heard wrong.
