Weird Safe House: I became stronger after taking in my roommate!

Chapter 38 Sister Hong, Always at Your Call

Shen Xu glanced at Liu Meiyun, who nodded, indicating that Lin Huan wasn't exaggerating.

Lin Huan performed very professionally, spending a full half hour increasing the original dozen or so pages of the contract to more than twenty pages, adding many clauses as requested by Shen Xu.

Murphy quickly typed on the keyboard to make changes, then jogged to print it out and officially signed the agreement.

From then on, Shen Xu became the official security officer of the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations.

"Don't forget my supplementary agreement: I will not take on any B-level bizarre incidents until I complete the safe house trial."

Shen Xu immediately stated that the fundamental reason he joined the Bureau of Mysterious Investigation was to safely pass the trial.

If dealing with more bizarre events at work causes the trial to become more difficult, then things will really go wrong.

He was only a Level 1 safety officer, and the strange events of Level B and above were none of his concern.

"no problem."

Chen Weixian smiled and agreed, saying that he would try to maintain a good condition before the safe house trial, which was something that many safety officers cared about, and it was not an excessive request.

The bureau chief also asked with great concern, "By the way, what level was your first safety trial? I'll report it first so I can choose a suitable trial realm and reliable teammates for you."

Grade A.

Shen Xu said decisively.

Chen Weixian was stunned, his brows furrowing as he asked, "What?"

Murphy was taken aback, then chuckled awkwardly, "Shen Xu, please don't joke with the director—"

Shen Xu glanced at her: "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Murphy's eyes froze, then filled with astonishment and shock.

Chen Weixian seemed to have all his energy drained in an instant, and plopped back down on the sofa.

Shen Xu frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Weixian paused, then forced a wry smile and said, "Shen Xu, you really gave me a fright."

"According to headquarters, only Level 2 safety officers are qualified to handle Level A incidents, and even then, the success rate is not high."

"You're only a Level 1 Safety Officer right now, but the trial difficulty has already reached Level A — if we want to guide you through the trial reliably, we need at least a Level 3 Safety Officer to lead the team."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything for the trial."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Director Chen."

Shen Xu himself possesses A-grade spiritual artifacts and A-grade strange objects, so he can naturally sense the difference between A-grade and B-grade.

Putting aside their abilities, the sheer intensity of their bizarre energy fluctuations alone differs by more than 10 times.

It's somewhat like the difference between a level 9 ghost and a ghost king.

Although it's only one level apart, it represents a qualitative change.

This is also why he wanted to seek help from the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation.

"Xiao Fei, go and help Shen Xu gain access to the internal network."

"Shen Xu, after the permissions are activated, you will directly receive more than 5000 merit points. Remember not to use them recklessly. You can exchange them for more suitable fragments of strange objects. I will apply for an advanced refining card for you as soon as possible. If the Blood Dust can be improved, it will also help your trial."

Chen Weixian earnestly gave his advice.

"Okay, then I'll head back now."

After Shen Xu finished speaking, he left with Liu Meiyun and Lin Huan.

Only Murphy and Chen Weixian remained in the reception room, both of them somewhat silent.

Murphy said, "Director Chen, the survival rate of a Level 1 Security Officer in a Level A Ghost Domain seems to be less than 10% —"

"To be precise, it's 5.8%."

Chen Weixian raised his hand and vigorously rubbed his temples.

Shen Xu is definitely a genius in the safety officer circle.

As a Level 1 security officer, he is already capable of handling bizarre events independently and has even executed his predecessor, Zhao Bin.

His abilities were so outstanding that Chen Weixian considered him a treasure.

"Is this what they mean by 'good things come to those who wait'? We finally managed to recruit them, and their first trial was only A-level."

In just a few hours today, Chen Weixian experienced what it means to have the ups and downs of life.

But in the end, the director gritted his teeth and said with great determination, "Since we've already chosen Shen Xu, there's no need to hesitate. The difficulty of the safety trial is tailored to a combination of strength and potential, so we should fully support him!"

"Um."

Murphy nodded: "Shen Xu doesn't want to take on a B-level event before the A-level trial. He should have already realized that dealing with strange events will increase the difficulty of the trial."

"That's understandable. You should keep in touch with Shen Xu at all times. After all, he's a newcomer and doesn't know many of the taboos and rules in the safety officer circle. Communicate with him properly."

"I'm going to argue with headquarters and get that advanced refining card back first—"

Chen Weixian dialed the phone.

On the luxury car.

Liu Meiyun and Lin Huan also looked somewhat gloomy.

They knew very little about the safety officers, but from Chen Weixian and Murphy's performance, they could tell that the A-level safe house trial that Shen Xu was about to undergo was extremely difficult and even life-threatening.

"Xiao Shen————"

While driving, Liu Meiyun couldn't help but ask, "Is that A-level trial really that difficult?"

"Um."

Shen Xu casually replied, "The trial completion rate is 5.8%."

His fingers swiped rapidly across the phone screen, and he had successfully logged into the eerie security department's intranet.

The success rate of each level of safe house trial can be easily seen.

"So low?!"

Lin Huan was startled and asked, "What happens if we fail?"

"If you fail, you die."

Shen Xu said it casually, and Liu Meiyun and Lin Huan were both stunned.

They also gained some understanding of Shen Xu's personality. Although he sometimes spoke in a sharp and frivolous way, he rarely joked.

The pass rate for the Level A safety trial is only 5.8%, which means that Shen Xu has a greater than 90% chance of dying in the trial.

Lin Huan quickly said, "It's good that you joined the Investigation Bureau."

"Didn't Director Chen say that he would arrange a capable teammate to protect you?"

Shen Xu chuckled: "This success rate is under the condition of being protected."

"Otherwise, the probability of passing the trial is less than 1%."

Having figured out the approximate difficulty of the A-level trial, Shen Xu was too lazy to dwell on it too much.

From the first day he became a safety officer, he was aware of the harshness of this path.

At first, I felt panicked, even like I was going crazy, and wanted to vent.

But Shen Xu wouldn't allow himself to remain in this state.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, he wants to give it his all.

"parking."

He suddenly spoke, and although Liu Meiyun didn't understand why, she still stopped the car on the side of the road.

"You all go back first, I have other things to do."

Shen Xu waved his hand, shooing Liu Meiyun and Lin Huan away. The two women assumed he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to provoke him, so they left silently.

"Hey, my dear little brother, you're already missing your sister?"

He dialed Xiao Chuhong's number, and immediately a flirtatious voice came from the receiver.

"I'm at XX Fast Food Restaurant on XX Road. Come find me in thirty minutes."

Shen Xu finished speaking almost in a commanding tone, and then hung up the phone.

He walked into a fast food restaurant next door, ordered two set meals at random, and added a chicken leg to his order.

At the next table sat a college student couple, who were eating a meal together very affectionately.

You feed me, I feed you, it smells so sweet and sour like we're in love.
