178: Chapter 160: Troublemaker 178: Chapter 160: Troublemaker Time, it never lasts long enough. For Lu Ping’an, his most important priority at moment is to unlock his 2-tier powers. Without hesitation, even without a second thought, upon unlocking the 2-tier, his combat power will increase greatly, triggering the potential to unlock other 2-tier abilities, resulting in comprehensive improvements in all aspects. Power is the fundamental key to survival, or at least, it is the confidence to escape. Xia Qin’s low-end guess was not wrong, Lu Ping’an had considered pulling off something big, and then running away… He’s not a naive fool or a saint; when he becomes the adversary of a million citizens, destined to become the “sacrifice of peace,” he wouldn’t hesitate to upset the status quo. If possible, he even hopes for the outbreak to be delayed, so that he can amass some power. If he could achieve this much in just a month, he couldn’t even guess how far he could go with another month. But things don’t always go as one wishes… “Lu Ping’an Meow, these are the records from the past few days you wanted.” Just as Lu Ping’an stepped out of the police station, he got the most recent close-combat records from Meow. From a certain day onwards, Meow and Lu Ping’an entered into a full-scale partnership agreement (without an official contract). In other words, Meow exchanged her services for resources to level up quickly. Lu Ping’an wanted her to record the general developments of the days he was not around. After a brief look at them, Lu Ping’an felt things were getting subtle. In these few days, a significant purge took place within the Special Service Team and the Bureau of Anomaly Management, uncovering a bunch of deeply hidden traitors, some of which were familiar faces to him. But none of them were connected to the “terrorists.” On the other hand, those who really caught the tail of the cultists and had intense exchanges with them were not the Special Service Team, but reinforcements from the Church of Life. The most ridiculous part was…. “The ones stepping up are not just from the Church of the Lady of the Forest, but also the forces of the ‘The King of harvest and gourmet’?” “Not just that Meow, there are also disciples of the ‘Lord of the Blood Feast,’ the Gourmet Church’s archenemy.” An unexpected but reasonable development. After confirming the presence of a legacy of a Quasi-God, churches and organizations related to the Life system turned extraordinarily proactive. Not only a new “Proper God” came, but also a corresponding “Evil God.” “The King of harvest and gourmet” is a part of the Life system, its core concept revolves around “food-chain,” subsequently including various delicious food and raw materials, as well as all sorts of magic potions. The Lord of the Blood Feast is also a worshipper of the food-chain, only their doctrines are more extreme…. Simply put, they attempt to put their kind as well as different species on the table, perfecting themselves through “feeding.” Their existence itself triggers bloody cases. If Big Cat’s cult index is 1, Brother Tu is 5, then this is probably 15. “When the people of the Blood Feast appeared in the field, everyone stopped and started beating them?!” When he read the report, Lu Ping’an was slightly shocked. It was a bit intense. Is it a specialty field for mockery? The Church of Life has already formed three major forces, and who knows how many are lurking in the shadows. The inheritance of a Quasi-God of Life system has sent them into a frenzy. As a part of them have found out about the probable “repetition of the Ascension Ritual,” their attitude has become intriguingly subtle. “Sister Xia Qin said, the higher-ups now regret asking the Church of Life for help Meow!” If the Special Service Team had known about the likely repetition of Ascension Ritual before, no matter how bad the situation is, they wouldn’t have sought an invitation from the Church of Life to join the pursuit. The situation is clearly getting worse and worse. Things could still work out if there were only two sides but it’s just a mess with three. But from a different perspective, Big Cat and the other cultists have less room to create chaos. The TV is still broadcasting the suddenly greenish building, the ruins underneath, and at least a hundred innocent people went missing in the disaster. Yet this was only an explorative clash between high-level professionals. As it can be expected, as the countdown becomes increasingly imminent, the friction between the different parties will become more and more intense. ———- The development of the events seemingly validates Lu Ping’an’s judgment. A lot of severe criminal cases have happened these few days, everything seems to be sliding into worse directions, but for most people, it still seems calm before the storm. What’s worth mentioning is that the Special Service Team Three had another expansion, this time the reserve forces recruited included some excellent students summoned from several other universities. Moreover, Xia Qin and Lei Huoren each received a new weapon. “…you don’t need to pay for it, right? I won’t know when I can afford it if it gets broken.” Xia Qin’s expression was quite intriguing. But that silver long knife looked much better than the one she had before. “At least, it’s of Decree-level, isn’t it? So, Sister Xia can have a good fight with those tough fourth-fifth tier fighters?” Lei Huoren should have received his too, but he never showed it. This is not an exception, several captains of the Special Service Team also received such “borrowed items,” even with written proofs. No other choice, these things are too valuable, it’s impossible to give to anyone without a valid reason… at this moment, many people are probably thinking about “accidentally” damaging or losing these items. This is the final preparation for battle, Lu Ping’an thought, nodding thoughtfully. His life was still as peaceful as ever, he went to work when he was supposed to and dawdled when he was off, only squeezing time to catch up on his last lessons. After determined to manufacture “finished products” and “experimental products” using his life-points, his last hurdle, the Grafting skill, also improved rapidly. On the other side, Meow had also completely made up her mind and wholeheartedly sided with Lu Ping’an. Any fool can recognize the things that Lu Ping’an handed out can’t belong to a normal freshman. As for the occurrences and process behind it, Lu Ping’an doesn’t care at all. With the help of Big Cat… Meow completed her Beast Tamer first-tier Advancement and even awakened her ideal Spirit Awakening Skill. She spent all day in the office, meowing with her Little White Cat, enhancing its wisdom and self-awareness. The most outrageous was when Lu Ping’an revealed he could prepare a solid spirit potion for her to stabilize her Talent Abilities, Meow unbelievably brought out the cost of 300,000 for the potion. “Aren’t you poor enough to eat cat food?” “How do you know Meow!! I… I am broke, but when I told my brother about it, he said he suddenly remembered he had a fixed deposit.” Well, Lei Huoren doesn’t seem as poor as he pretended to be. “… Or, you could ask him if he could shell out some money to settle your servitude contract.” Lu Ping’an pondered for a moment, maybe he could still have a try. “Meow! Get lost Meow!” But Meow immediately got furious.
