You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 297 Reward: Space Jump New Entry: Beloved!

[The investigation into the distortion incident has concluded. Will this result be implemented?]

【whether】

Chi Ping chose [Yes]. The incident began after the large-scale distortion in Bai Shi Town, and it could not be changed.

A familiar feeling, multiple messages appeared before my eyes.

[Your attribute "Heart of Justice" has been strengthened.]

[Your entry "Insight" has been enhanced. ]

[Your attribute "Steel Bones" has been enhanced.]

[Your entry "Ruins Traveler" has been enhanced.]

[Your attribute "Soul Hunter" has been enhanced.]

【You activated the term "Space Jump."】

After a quick glance, I found that [Space Jump] is a new ability term, derived from the S-level ability user, Space Apocalypse.

But what Chi Ping didn't understand was whether [Space Jump] could be amplified by [Heart of Justice] and [Win-Win].

If so, what is the increase?
Is it the distance it jumps? The energy consumption when casting? Or the shortest time between casts (CD)?
If not——

Then we have to find ways to develop more. After all, the [Speed] with the blessing of [Heart of Justice] is only half a beat slower than the [Space Jump] performed by the Space Apocalypse Relic.

What Chi Ping was more concerned about was whether he could develop the entire [Space] ability through the ability of space jump. After all, this was an S-level ability, and as far as the ability on the panel was concerned, this was the first time Chi Ping had encountered it.

Let’s look at [Heart of Justice] first.

[Your attribute "Heart of Justice" has been strengthened.]

[Heart of Justice (A+): Your abilities are increased by 80%, and a "deterrent" effect is added to those who are guilty of serious crimes.]

[The current improvement of the host's Heart of Justice has reached its limit. Further improvement requires expanding the host's physical limit.]

The last time, the increase in the Heart of Justice was increased to 75%, and after this incident, it increased by another 5%. It has reached the upper limit again.

And Chi Ping knew that the so-called upper limit was the carrying capacity of the soul.

Derived from white pigs.

So, the next subtitle:
[Your attribute "Soul Hunter" has been enhanced.]

Soul Hunter (65%): As one of the Ten-Faced Gods, your body and soul hunt each other. By hunting souls, you absorb some of them, improving your overall quality.

[When you hunt all souls, your soul and body will resonate.]

[Your soul has become more powerful, and the upper limit of the "Heart of Justice" attribute has been increased.]

[Soul Hunter] increased from the original 25% to 65%, which means that the white pig has invested a lot of souls in the Space Apocalypse. It is also possible that controlling the Space Apocalypse requires a stronger soul, so he did this.

[Soul Hunter] is not only related to [Heart of Justice], but more importantly, it is the "resonance between the body and the soul."

This is the path for the Ten-Faced God to be promoted to S-level. Originally, Chi Ping wanted to absorb the bodies of the five people from Lingyi to Wu Batian, but [Steel Body] and [Iron Bones] complemented his physical fitness.

When all souls are captured, [Soul Hunter] and [Steel Body] will evolve into an S-level ability. Only then will Chi Ping truly be promoted.

However, based on the current progress, the S-level abilities that Chi Ping would gain after his promotion would likely extend beyond the fusion of body and soul. There were also physical abilities that surpassed the upper limit, namely the evolution of [Steel Body] and [Steel Bones].

[Your attribute "Steel Bones" has been enhanced.]

[Iron Bones 65%: Your physical fitness is greatly improved. When this attribute is fully mastered or the soul is completed, this attribute can resonate with the attribute "Steel Body" and evolve into a higher-level attribute.]

[Iron Bones] has been increased from the original 35% to 65%. According to the previous rules, it usually takes three or four events for the progress of an entry to reach %.

[Iron Bones] has already gone through two events, and it only takes one or two more events to reach 100%.

Chi Ping felt a little excited in his heart. He had seen the scenery above S-level from others.

Yin Tianzheng (Ah Heng) is an S-level rule-based person, and his words are followed by laws;
And Jia Yu's S-level, who used the entire city as a weapon, turning fantasy into reality. Theoretically, the only thing that can limit him is his imagination;

There's also the God of War, the great emperor of mythical civilization, who can recreate any weapon ever seen in history. A bold guess would be if all the S-class weapons that disappeared over the past millennia of civilization were considered weapons.

So, how terrifying will it be when the War Emperor himself arrives?

As for Chi Ping's body that has surpassed its limits, it is still unknown what kind of abilities he will develop.

Look further down——

[Your entry "Ruins Traveler" has been enhanced.]

【Traveler of the Ruins (A)】

You have gained in-depth access to the remains of civilizations dating back millennia, and you possess the ability to decipher prehistoric texts. This ability will continue to grow as you uncover past history and relics.

The rating of [Ruin Traveler] has been raised from B to A.

From now on, you should be able to interpret the text in the ruins on your own when you see it.

In general, it is very practical and I have mastered multiple foreign languages directly.

[Your entry "Insight" has been enhanced. ]

[Insight (A+): In combat, you can sense your opponent's subtle movements, determine their attack intent, and quickly find a response. You also possess a strong ability to dispel illusions and fantasies, and are immune to interference from other senses!]

【The improvement of this term has reached its extreme value. 】

[Insight] Upgrading from the original A to A+ generally means gaining immunity to control. However, what if these control or interference abilities come from S-level?

Although he really wanted to know the result, Chi Ping didn't want to take any risks before he was promoted.

Further down, there is the most critical subtitle:
【You activated the term "Space Jump."】

[Space Jump 35% (A): This ability originates from the S-class ability holder, Space Apocalypse, and is a sub-branch of the "Space" ability. Starting from your current location, you can perform a space jump to any location within a -meter radius.]

[The range and frequency of the spell are related to the user's own abilities.]

[This ability contains a strong obsession with spatial apocalypse and is highly extensible. Under certain conditions, it can activate other spatial abilities or even all spatial-related abilities!]

"Highly expandable" means that Chi Ping may have complete [space] capabilities.

I estimate that fully activating [Space] would probably be an outstanding S-level ability.

Chi Ping tried [Space Jump]. The ability was good, but the jump distance was not affected by the amplification.

On the contrary, the casting speed can be increased by [Heart of Justice] to achieve the effect of fast casting.

This avoids the opponent chasing directly into the subspace when the space rift is torn open.

It is worth mentioning that Space Apocalypse’s body was severely deformed and restricted by the laws in the ruins, so Chi Ping was unable to bring him out.

All he had in his hand now was the stone chip he had dug out from the former's kneecap.

Chi Ping speculated that after Space Apocalypse was "contaminated" by the source of distortion, it had no choice but to seal off the space where it was and set the spatial law that prevented the distorted from leaving the ruins to prevent the distortion from spreading.

However, he could not control the source of distortion coming from behind the gate.

He was a man who, before his death, still considered his people. However, his "home-changing strategy" failed, causing the millennium catastrophe to arrive prematurely.

His merits and demerits have never been reviewed by anyone since his time. This period of history can only fade away along with the demise of civilization.

Not long after, Chi Ping's phone started vibrating again.

The first message was from Mang. She was very cryptic, just a sentence without a beginning or an end:

"Here comes the flag-planter."

"Planting the flag" is done in the village of the Baiyin Society. Le Bai is responsible for writing, and Bai Xing is responsible for using telekinesis to plant the flag at the designated location.

What this sentence means is that Shirahoshi is coming.

Perhaps it is not convenient to speak directly about Mang’s current situation, and few people know about the “flag-planting” incident.

Ikehira simply replied, "Got it." As long as the other end received the message, they would definitely know that Ikehira had come out.

Next, it’s Gonggong.

Compared to Mang's, his message was much more complicated. He talked about his recent life in Lu'an, where he was being pursued by a mother and daughter, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He also asked Chi Ping how he had been doing recently. His assistant Liu Qingyu had already returned to Star City and asked Chi Ping to contact him regularly.

"Anyway, you're not married yet, so it's fair competition."

Chi Ping simply ignored this sentence. In the previous text, there was an agreed-upon code word, which was: talk on the dark web.

Chi Ping applied for many accounts on the dark web, some of which were specifically used for communication with official, semi-official, and unofficial groups.

For example, if you want to post a reward, you have to use an unofficial account.

The secrecy on the dark web is far greater than direct communication via mobile phone.

Gonggong: I have already thought about the candidate.

The candidate he mentioned was the one Chi Ping had discussed when he left Lu'an. They wanted to choose someone who could end the chaos in Lu'an.

Ikehira: Who?

Gonggong: Do you still remember the sparrow?
Chi Ping was stunned for a moment.

Sparrow was a member of the Super Power Bureau's undercover team working for the Star City Freedom Front during the Yin Tianzheng incident. At that time, Mang was Sparrow's superior.

Later, Sparrow was brought into the Original Church by Shirahoshi, and naturally became an informant for the Psychic Bureau's undercover Original Church.

Later, Sparrow was taken away by Gonggong and became an informant agent of the Red Fox.

When Bai Xing entered Ruan, he brought Sparrow with him and joined the resistance forces in the Ruan area, trying to build the Ruan Republic.

As Sparrow's performance becomes more and more outstanding - of course, it is also possible that the Crimson Fox and the Original Church are working together.

And now, Gonggong wants to choose him as the leader to unify Lu'an and end the war.

This is really incredible.

Chi Ping: Is he suitable?

Gong Gong: I think he's suitable, except for being a bit timid. He keeps telling me he doesn't want to be an undercover agent anymore and wants to go back. He's a very nice person, has strong beliefs, and is kind-hearted.

Gonggong: He has the ability, and his subordinates are quite trustworthy. The only concern is that he is not strong enough to control the troublemakers.

Ikehira: What about Hank?
Hank is an A-ranked user in the resistance army. He has fought against Chi Ping before. Born into a poor family, he suffered greatly from the war in his childhood and is determined to change the chaos in Lu'an.

Gonggong: He's not quite up to the mark. He comes from a poor background, and the rebels are naturally opposed to the old nobility of Luan. The old nobility won't agree. Also, he's too stubborn and lacks management skills.

Chi Ping nodded. Since Hank couldn't do it, then Mu Tianbang, the son of the old emperor Lacy II, would definitely not be able to do it either.

He could only achieve temporary unification, but to unify the entire Ruan, he had to reduce resistance from the Federation, the United Kingdom and other parties.

Ikehira: Is Sparrow's origin suitable?

Gonggong: The household registration system in Lu'an is very chaotic, so I arranged a new identity for him. His ancestors were once wealthy and aristocratic. Later, his family fell into decline. His parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents all come from different ethnic groups in Lu'an.

There are three main tribes in the Ruan area. Sparrow's bloodline was evenly distributed among the tribes, and then a fake report was made that he was studying in the Federation. He was also a mixed-race of the Federation and Ruan.

Gonggong: You must believe in the ability of the Crimson Fox.

Chi Ping thought for a while and said: But if we do this, even if it succeeds, the new political system will still be a product of compromise.

Gonggong: So he needs stronger power.

Chi Ping understood what Gong Gong said. The lack of a stronger force was the core of the war in Chi Ping's hands.

Once Sparrow becomes S-rank, even if the political system is initially the product of compromise, as long as he has the ability to suppress all parties.

It is equivalent to taking advantage of the struggles among various parties to come on the stage, and then turning the table after being promoted.

Gonggong: So you need to discuss this with the executioner. If appropriate, consider taking sparrows as breeding objects.

Good guy.

Sparrow was pushed to the top step by step from a small undercover.

It's all based on luck, no effort at all.

Ikehira agreed, but needed confirmation from the executioner.

He wanted to go to Lu'an at the right time and observe Ma Que himself. If he was really suitable, he could end the chaos in Lu'an that had lasted for more than 30 years.

Chi Ping would not be reluctant to give up a war core, even if it was made with real swords and guns.

I just don't want to entrust my work to the wrong person again. Even if I have the war core, I still need to prepare for the rigorous promotion ceremony.

There is still a lot of time, let's see what the sparrow does.

It wasn't until nightfall that Chi Ping finally infiltrated Mang's side. The boundary gate was heavily guarded, but with Chi Ping's strength, getting through shouldn't be difficult. The difficulty lay in how to move it, and whether to immediately enter the boundary gate after moving it.

Due to the unknowns inside the gate, Chi Ping thought it would be better to settle everything outside first, then trigger a certain event, and then go there alone.

If something goes wrong, end the simulation immediately.

After all, there is something "unknowable" over there.

Chi Ping omitted the part about the flashback, and briefly explained his plan to Mang, and then said:
"Don't go with me this time. It's not safe."

Mang just stared at Chi Ping. After a while, he straightened the collar of Chi Ping's coat and said slowly, "I won't say any more nonsense, but I hope you remember——

"If it's really dangerous over there, don't go there.

"I'm very selfish. I don't care about the Millennium Calamity. The reason I did so many things with you was never to save the world, it was entirely because of you.

"I don't care if there is a Thousand Years of Calamity, but you must have one!"

Chi Ping was stunned when he heard this.

A familiar feeling enveloped him.

When Jia Xu was promoted to S-rank, Chi Ping chose to face it alone. Mang also said the same thing at the time, although this simulation was [denied] by Chi Ping.

But now, when Mang was given another chance to choose, she still said something similar.

Chi Ping vaguely remembered that in Fanyang, facing the survival of the entire city and Chi Ping's safety, Mang said:
"If Fanyang is gone, it's gone. You have to be here!"

But now, during the millennium catastrophe, she was not here to see the rise and fall of civilization, but Chi Ping was.

It felt like there was a hot spring in Chi Ping's heart, bubbling with warm water. It was warm, comfortable, and a little touching.

Chi Ping smiled and looked at Mang.

But it was because of Mang and people like Huoba who were very important to Chi Ping that he chose to face the thousand-year catastrophe.

Chi Ping looked into Mang's eyes and spoke word by word:
"But it's because of you, because of you all, that I'm willing to face those dangers."

He used his hand to play with Mang's drooping hair. Mang pouted slightly. She rarely behaved like a little girl. Obviously, she was also very happy.

And at this moment, a subtitle flashed before Chi Ping's eyes:
[The term "admirer" has 100% evolved into "beloved."]

The entry "Beloved" was rated A+, and just as Chi Ping shifted his focus to the entry's content, he received a punch in the stomach, neither light nor heavy.

Mang gritted his teeth and said:

"Who are 'you'? Which other bad woman do you have?"

　Let me tell you about the progress. I won't be going back to this volume because it mainly paves the way for the next volume, which will be opening soon: the world beyond the fog.

　　I also want to complain that with the same account, the author has to pay to write novels and the reader has to pay to read the novels he wrote.

　　drunk.
