Ye Ping: "Don't be in a rush. Where's your Special Commander badge? Take it out and check it. If it's out of energy, go recharge it, or else you might run out of energy halfway through the battle."

The consequence of a badge losing energy is that the wearer won't gain even a single point from slaying monsters, essentially working for nothing.

Xu Ran took out the badge hanging from his neck and glanced at it, "Oh. It's been a year since I last checked it, I should really recharge it. Where do I do that?"

Ye Ping, with full patience, said, "At the core of every safe zone, there's a Service Bureau. The Service Bureau can handle 90% of issues."

"For things like this badge, not only can it be recharged, but if it gets damaged by a monster attack, it can also be repaired at the Service Bureau. The bureau houses a team of researchers and scientists with special Root Bone. They study Resentful Beasts, ghosts, Crystal Beasts... they study battlefields, various pollutants... They make armor, weapons, and record badges..."

Scientists...

Researchers...

Upon hearing these words, Xu Ran suddenly remembered the issue of the Mysterious Talisman: "By the way, Uncle Ye, did the first batch of Mysterious Talismans sent to the research institute under Celestial Summit Pavilion make significant progress?"

Ye Ping shook his head, "No..."

"The first batch of Mysterious Talismans was extremely complex and was accompanied by highly concentrated pollution, almost costing the lives of several heavyweight researchers! So the Celestial Summit Pavilion immediately halted the first batch's research and contained the first batch of Mysterious Talismans."

"The second batch of Mysterious Talismans is still under research, but the path to successful analysis is a long way off! Researchers believe the Mysterious Talismans must be created by a god. Or rather, the Talismanic System is definitely a Cultivation System capable of changing the structure of humanity. Unfortunately, the principles can't be deciphered."

Xu Ran: "...Almost two years and still no results?"

Ye Ping: "After all, it's the creation of a Divine Level Resentful God..."

Xu Ran originally wanted to complain but then thought about it; he himself had a 60,000 progress in [High Comprehension], and deciphering the second batch of Mysterious Talismans was like reading a heavenly book... other scientists are surely trying their best too.

Of course.

The Resentful God never cared whether humans tried their best when descending disasters.

If the Talisman Vengeful God is secretly plotting something, the destructive power can't be underestimated.

If it acts during the heated selection competition of the elimination squad, wanting to make a whole generation of geniuses become sacrifices of flesh and blood...

Xu Ran suddenly became alert, "After this training, we still need to find the Talisman Vengeful God, I feel the crisis it brings me is more severe than the Nightmare Vengeful Mother."

Ye Ping solemnly nodded: "Alright. Once we return I'll order a few more sweeps. We won't give it a chance to feast on blood!"

Xu Ran nodded, then followed Uncle Ye straight to the Sixth District Service Bureau.

The safe zone covered quite a large area, almost like a super city.

On the wide streets, cultivators moved swiftly, carrying weapons and wearing armor, heading towards the outer city.

A squad approached them.

They were injured, their armor was shattered, and they were cursing as they walked.

"The ghostly entities these days are really damn weird! Damn it!"

"Even after smashing them, they can stick back together and launch a counterattack!"

"You simply can't kill them, this pack of beasts! Heard from the big shots, Flying Head Ghosts might just be a part of a High Tier ghostly entity. If it weren't for the extra 30,000 points, I really wouldn't want to fight these disgusting Flying Head Ghosts."

"Disgusting, so disgusting it makes one want to vomit!"

Upon hearing the squad's cursing, Xu Ran frowned deeply.

There's a problem, something's not right.

Flying Head Ghosts can't be killed? Most likely just a part of some High Tier ghostly entity?

If they're all just parts, even if you kill wantonly, it can only count as progress +1, right?

Damn it!

Is this intentionally messing with me, Fat Tiger?

Xu Ran stopped a few of them, "Excuse me, aren't Flying Head Ghosts supposed to be Middle Tier ghostly entities with a Qi Blood Value of 60,000? Not very threatening. They've never been impossible to kill before, have they? Is this perhaps a new species?"

Those few, "Oh, who knows! Anyway, we've been clearing them for several days; just now, three lines of defense fell, and the outer city is full of Flying Head Ghosts, probably new ghostly entities here to disgust us. There are so many of those Flying Head Ghosts! Not sure what's happening!"

Xu Ran realized a small challenge might have come up for his Golden Achievement [Killing Intent Burned], "Thanks, guys! Get well soon."

The few strangers raised eyebrows, looking at Xu Ran, with such a young voice?

A kid?

They said, "No worries, just be careful! The outer city is a mess, it might be invaded into the inner city."

After exchanging a few greetings, those few quickly left, heading straight for the hotel.

Xu Ran looked at Ye Ping, "The safe zone has been infiltrated by a large number of ghostly entities, the outer city has been destroyed."

Ye Ping remained calm, "A common occurrence. The safe zone only defends against Divine Level monsters."

"The monster tides below Divine Level, if they haven't destroyed it a thousand times, then at least eight hundred times..."

Xu Ran: "My point is, shouldn't we first check out the situation?"

Ye Ping shook his head, "Wait for half an hour, I've already reported to the director. The director will soon arrange for a Shield Powerhouse and a Healing Element powerhouse for you."

Xu Ran: "Actually, it's fine. Even without shield and healing, I won't be in danger."

Ye Ping: "Don't, since the outer city can be breached, it's better to be careful. There is also lots of intel on High Tier ghosts that we know nothing about, like the [Nightmare Vengeful Mother]..."

"The Nightmare Vengeful Mother already gives us headaches, the Alien Battlefield will only have weirder existences. If there happens to be a mysterious god abducting you, I couldn't be accountable."
