Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 27 Partner Contract

How can there be so many?

The progress bar is at 20%, even though last time the progress for "Forbidden Item 1-83: The Devil Clown" was only 1%.

Wei En looked at the prompts on the panel and pondered the criteria used for the panel's judgment.

Although he did not say "forbidden item 0-34 resurrected coffin", he wrote it down on parchment.

Both Lacey and Marco mentioned the names and numbers of the forbidden items.

In addition, Lacey just reported to Yegor... During their conversation, they must have frequently mentioned the names or numbers of the forbidden items.

Yes,

Yegor would also talk to other people in the Secret Investigation Department, such as the director and his colleagues...

Based on this calculation, a 20% progress rate is indeed possible.

Thinking of this, Wei En frowned.

At this rate, he will soon encounter the "Forbidden Item 0-34 Resurrected Coffin".

This is absolutely terrible news!

"Wein?"

Wayne snapped out of his daze and looked at Marco with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

"You've been spacing out, what are you thinking about?"

"No, are your injuries alright?"

"Don't worry about me. Even though Lacey hit hard, I've recovered."

"real?"

Marco patted his chest. "Of course, after all, I'm an elite investigator in the Investigation Department."

"...Brother Marco, shouldn't you look in the mirror before you speak?"

"Uh, that's not important, my recovery ability is really strong."

"You two, hurry up, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Lacey gave a reminder, then picked up the silver case and left the office.

"We'll talk about it on the way."

Marco quickly said something and started tidying up as well.

Wayne nodded, packed everything on the table into the box, and waited for him to leave the office together.

Ok?

As he walked, Wayne felt someone tugging at his clothes. He turned around and saw Tina.

When Tina saw him looking at her, a flicker of emotion appeared in her otherwise lifeless eyes. "Tina likes you. Can we be friends?"

Wei En was taken aback. You like me? Want to be friends?

He looked at the white-haired girl's indifferent and calm face, and nodded with some surprise, "Of course."

Although Tina has a somewhat eccentric personality, she shouldn't be a bad person as a colleague.

It's much better than Rogert being on the verge of losing control... right?

Marco was taken aback when he heard the voice. He was about to say something when he saw Wayne nod and say "okay".

then--

"Tina is happy."

Wayne smiled and patted her head. "I'm also happy to be your friend."

Tina seemed to enjoy his actions, reaching out again to tug at his sleeve. "Tina's happy."

"I know you're happy, no need to repeat myself..."

Marco stared blankly at Wayne's actions, and he even "patted his head" and said "I'm very happy"?

By the time he realized what was happening, Wayne and Tina had already walked quite a distance.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Marco immediately started running and quickly overtook Wayne and the others.

"Huh? Brother Marco?"

Watching his hurried figure, Wei En asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him? Why is he running so fast?"

"Tina is happy." Tina seemed not to hear his question, and kept repeating that sentence.

On the other side, Marco quickly ran out of the Secret Investigation Department and found Lacey waiting at the door.

"Lassie, something terrible has happened."

"What is it now?" Lacey glared at him, annoyed. "If you dare to tell me you're lying about something else, you're dead."

No, it's not.

Marco looked at her anxiously and said, "Tina just told Wayne she wanted to be friends, and Wayne has already agreed."

"Huh? Why didn't you stop him?"

"I...I didn't have time either..."

boom!

"I'll settle the score with you later!" Lacey punched him angrily, then turned around to look at Wayne and Tina not far behind her, "Marco, your abilities..."

"It's recovered."

Marco stood beside her, watching the two approaching at a leisurely pace, and said with a wry smile, "My innate ability was ready to be used just as I was running over here."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

A small tornado appeared in his hand, the cold wind blowing through their long hair and making their hearts sink.

Wayne, walking from a distance, saw this and exclaimed, "Brother Marco, is that a tornado in your hand?"

Is this his extraordinary ability?

That's so cool!

"A natural ability," Marco clenched his fist, shattered the tornado, and gave a stiff smile.

Lacey looked at Wayne, who seemed perfectly normal, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Wayne, have you... have you noticed any changes in yourself?"

"Change? Me?"

Wayne looked down. The clothes were wrinkle-free, the suitcase was tidy, and the little hand... well, Tina's hand was still clutching the hem of her clothes.

"Nothing much... Holy crap!"

[You have entered into a partnership contract with the Calamity Species, Tina Klosterman. Evaluation: In a sense, Calamity Species are extremely rare! Special Reward: Origin Seal 1.]

[You have been affected by the Partner Contract, and your physique has been greatly enhanced. Evaluation: Thank you, God of Contracts; it's not too late to switch to the Blood Spirit School. Special Reward: Resilience Level +5.]

[You have gained the Calamity Seed talent: Increased wound healing speed and increased body recovery speed.]

What is this?

A calamity?

How could Tina be a Calamity Species, and how did she form a partnership contract with him?

Wayne stared at the prompts on the panel, filled with questions.

This world is too strange. How come I still encounter such strange things after arriving at the Secret Investigation Division?

Lacey and Marco exchanged a glance, both noticing the tension in each other's expressions.

"Wein, are you... are you alright?"

Wei En looked up at the two of them, and asked blankly, "Calamity?"

"What calamity?"

"No, it's nothing. Is there anything to eat?"

"I have some here, I have prepared some food."

Marco quickly opened the box, took out a large box of biscuits, and handed it to him. "Wein, I know this is sudden, but believe me, everything will be alright..."

Wayne glanced at the box in his hand, remained silent for a moment, then took the box, opened it, and started eating.

While eating, he checked the panel in his mind.

One point of the origin has been sealed?

No wonder the range of perception has shrunk a bit.

However, the little ones are still around, so the impact is minimal.

Furthermore, its resilience level increased by 5 levels, and it also gained the innate healing ability...

Ok,

It looks pretty good!

P.S.: I'm writing very slowly right now, mainly because the plot has just begun, and I want to make many parts stand out and create something unique. I'm also working on improving the character development and environmental descriptions.

I will try my best to maintain the pace and make each plot point more engaging.
