Special Service Group Six Office.

Bai Pu went to register first. This time, as the main force, he captured three wanted criminals: Owl, Thunderbird, and Golden-winged Roc, among which Owl was a C+ level criminal with heinous crimes.

Bai Pu also killed another C-level wanted criminal, Glow, in the Heart Demon World!

For a newcomer who hasn't even stepped into the door of the Special Service Bureau, capturing four wanted criminals in succession is an unprecedented achievement.

According to Yuan Yue, the last time she heard of such a formidable newcomer was five years ago.

That man, codenamed "Candle Dragon," single-handedly flattened a base of Awakened criminals during a pursuit operation in the Wilderness Area, killing seven wanted criminals and capturing one!

Just three years later, Candle Dragon had already become the deputy leader of Special Service Group Two, an impressive speed of promotion.

If Candle Dragon weren't an external member, he would have long been promoted to a regular position.

The four wanted criminals brought Bai Pu a bounty reward totaling 15,228 Spiritual Points. Owl alone contributed over 6,000 points!

Because he repeatedly harmed civilians, committing heinous acts like massacring villages, and deliberately spread his infamy for global notoriety, his bounty was nearly double that of other C-class criminals.

Apart from the bounty, there was also a commendation, and Bai Pu has already received an oral notice of promotion to C+ level Special Service Officer, with the formal promotion document to be issued within a month.

However, for a low-level Awakened, C+ Special Service Officer is already the pinnacle.

To be promoted to a B-class Special Service Officer, one must become a mid-level Awakened, as B-level officers generally deal with B-level criminals, much stronger than low-level criminals like Owl.

Bai Pu also received several Bloody Artifacts. Based on his C+ Officer access, he could claim up to three Combat Shackles, a Gladiatorial Arena Bloody Field Artifact, and a set of Bloody Torture Device.

Each use of these artifacts leaves a record with the Spirit Realm Will. Bai Pu needs to provide regular usage records and is not allowed to use them on ordinary Awakened with no criminal record.

Yuan Hall went to handle the newly captured criminals.

Yuan Yue introduced Bai Pu to some of his colleagues in Special Service Group Six, mainly his teammates.

Special Service Group Six has three teams in total.

Bai Pu belongs to the first team of Group Six, led by Deputy Leader Yuan Hall.

Deputy Leader Yuan Hall, real name Zheng Jiashu, a Level 6 Awakener, with a spiritual talent, adopts a versatile approach, proficient in both ranged and close combat.

Yuan Yue, real name Qiu Xiaoman, a Level 5 Awakener with an agility talent, excels in ranged physical output.

These two are the ones Bai Pu has already met.

Two more members remained in Yuan Hall's team, and since they weren't present, they didn't provide support.

One is codenamed "You Bai," real name Yu Qingming, tall and thin, with sunken eyes and pale skin.

You Bai doesn't speak much and has a somewhat cold aura.

Yuan Yue introduced, "You Bai, like me, is a Level 5 Awakened with agility talent. However, he's a close combat type with some skills in ranged attacks, quite formidable."

Bai Pu nodded to You Bai. But You Bai averted his gaze and skillfully found a corner of the room, hiding in the shadows, silent.

Truly hard to get along with. Luckily, I live in Xicheng, so I don't need to interact regularly.

Bai Pu thought silently, when suddenly a warm big hand rested on his forearm.

Bai Pu looked down to find a stout, short, and solidly built middle-aged man.

"I'm Wu Gang, codename 'Anvil'," the stout man introduced himself, his voice booming, "I'm a Power type, originally positioned as the tank in the team. You should hurry and level up, reach Level 4 soon, and then you can be the tank."

Yuan Yue chuckled and said, "Oh dear, then you're out of a job."

"Hey, MT, not even dogs would want to be one!"

The stocky Anvil rubbed his rough big hands and heartily patted Bai Pu's arm, "My sub-profession is Blacksmith, good at crafting equipment. If you have any materials, you can give them to me! I don't charge."

The Blacksmith is a sub-profession skilled in crafting heavy armor and weapons.

Bai Pu's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "I happen to have gathered some materials." He then took out a pile of blue materials.

[Crocodile's Soft Hide], [Crocodile's Teeth], [Crocodile's Eye]...

Most of these blue materials were acquired during the battle against the Mother of Jiang Tuo in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scene.

"Wow, you really have some."

Anvil looked through the pile of blue quality materials and said, "Hmm, this soft hide is the main ingredient for making leather armor. Paired with the teeth, it should make a good piece of blue leather armor. As for the eye, it's not much use."

"The eye should count as alchemy material." Bai Pu put it away. "I'm more skilled in alchemy medicine. If you have any alchemy materials, you can give them to me for potion making, I don't charge either."

Not charging has a reason.

A sub-profession also needs leveling; crafting sub-professional items accumulates experience. Of course, reading books can also accumulate experience, but the progress is relatively slow.

Bai Pu was originally a Level 2 Alchemist but reverted to Level 1 after job-changing to "Daoist Alchemist." He accumulated quite a bit of experience by refining the "Emergency First Aid Ointment" in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scene, now just surpassing 50%.

Presumably, Anvil doesn't charge a crafting fee for a similar reason. His Blacksmith level isn't high, and the equipment he crafts have a high degree of homogenization, resulting in unsatisfactory sales. Currently, it is still at the stage of investing money for proficiency improvement.

The real breakthrough comes when reaching Level 4 and above, allowing the crafting of Gold-level Awakened equipment. Even if it's standard golden equipment with only additional attributes and no special skills, it is quite popular—because the traits added by golden equipment are excellent.

Anvil hesitated and asked, "Gangxin, what level is your sub-profession?"

"Only Level 1," Bai Pu said.

"Oh, so it seems you can't use this golden-quality herbal material," Anvil said. He took out a herb from his hand.

This herb looked like ginseng, but its leaves were very small and emitted a purple glow, clearly not an ordinary item.

[Small-leaf Ginseng: Gold-level herb, used in crafting high-quality pharmaceuticals (usable).]

The last two words in the brackets, "usable," appeared in green as a hint from the Spirit Realm Will for Awakened with relevant sub-professions, only visible in Bai Pu's vision.

Those without a crafting sub-profession won't see the "usable" text.

"I can use it," Bai Pu said.

The others were puzzled. They hadn't heard that a Level 1 sub-profession could use gold-quality materials.

It's known that the usability here is judged by the Spirit Realm Will on the "success rate"!

For Bai Pu to see the "usable" prompt means there's a high chance he can successfully use this herb in potion making—of course, the relevant formula must be learned first.

Bai Pu was quite keen on this gold-level herb, probably due to the collector's impulse of an Alchemist.

He thought for a bit and then asked, "Anvil, what level is your sub-profession?"

"Level 3, at 70% experience," Anvil said.

"Then see if you can use these materials," Bai Pu took out the two materials obtained from the Mother of Jiang Tuo's treasure chest.

[Giant Tuo's Tendon: Leader-level material.]

[Giant Tuo's Fangs *4: Leader-level material.]

"Yes, absolutely!" Anvil's eyes suddenly shone, his stout fingers grasping Bai Pu's wrist with a vigorous shake.
