The middle-aged man saw her and chuckled.

"Xiao Qingli is here too."

"The medicine Zhixing gave me last time worked well. I'll ask him to save a few more for my son when I get back."

Shen Qingli nodded.

"Senior Yan, I will pass on your message."

Shen Qingli then said, "Senior Fang."

The short-haired woman simply nodded slightly.

Without saying anything unnecessary, she looked directly at Wang Yan.

The middle-aged man then stepped past Shen Qingli and came to Wang Yan.

"Wang Yan?"

Wang Yan put the last piece of sweet and sour pork into his mouth before nodding.

"Yes."

Seeing his expression, the middle-aged man's eyes showed a newfound interest.

We just finished dealing with a city-level crisis.

This kid is still eating so calmly?

Not bad!

The middle-aged man said with interest, "Yan Zhen, the owner of the S-class artifact at headquarters."

The short-haired woman continued, "Fang Zhixia, the owner of the S-class artifact at headquarters."

Wang Yan nodded.

"So what do you need me for?"

Yan Zhen didn't put on airs.

"We've already seen the remnants of the old subway terminus."

"There are traces of a powerful domain being shattered there."

"How did you manage to survive and defeat that illusory [Faceless God]?"

Wang Yan grasped the key point.

"The Faceless God?"

Fang Zhixia said, "This is the code name for the calamity behind the Jiangdong incident."

"An SS-class calamity, the domain owner, and also an old rival that headquarters has been investigating."

"Six months ago, we planned to ambush and kill him, but he escaped and we lost track of him until this time..."

Lin Youyou's heart tightened.

All she knew before was that thing was strong.

But I didn't expect it to be this strong.

To be able to escape the encirclement and attack from headquarters, how terrifying must the power of the Calamity be?

What would Jiangdong City be like now if it weren't for Wang Yan?

Lin Youyou dared not think about it.

On the other side, Shen Qingli also looked at Wang Yan.

She was also very curious about how Wang Yan could defeat the Faceless God even when facing the domain directly.

Seeing several gazes directed at him, Wang Yan did not rush to speak.

He took a sip of water, sorted things out in his mind, and then said everything he could.

After he killed the Mirror Coffin Old Man, the Mirror Coffin fell into his hands.

After encountering the phantom of the Faceless God, he used the Mirror Coffin to isolate himself from the outside world, and then relied on the combined power of this and two other strange objects he already possessed to barely disperse the phantom.

Yan Zhen's expression turned serious after hearing this.

"Two rare items? You've mastered three rare items?! Your attribute points have exceeded 30?"

"No... I just broke through 15 points." Wang Yan shook his head.

"Having only broken through 15 points, how can I possibly master three wondrous items..."

Yan Zhen pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Oh! I see, this must be your personal talent!"

"That's right. There have been cases at headquarters where some exceptionally talented weapon wielders were able to master two rare items right from the start. Now that your attributes have broken through 15 points, it's not surprising that you can master three."

"I never expected to encounter such a genius today!"

Yan Zhen's words contained no doubt about Wang Yan, only pride in having solved the mystery.

Seeing that the other party had already come up with an excuse for him, Wang Yan immediately shut up.

He also looked as if he had suddenly realized the reason why he was able to control the three strange objects.

Fang Zhixia frowned slightly as she looked at the two of them looking silly.

She knew that this reason alone could not explain how Wang Yan defeated the phantom of the Faceless God.

Wang Yan definitely has a secret.

But she didn't intend to delve into it; after all, everyone has secrets.

There was another point that Fang Zhixia cared about very much.

Yan Zhen is probably too stupid to realize that Wang Yan has a secret.

Wouldn't the Faceless God notice?

Now that the Faceless God has figured it out, is it possible to use Wang Yan as bait to kill the Faceless God?

Thinking of this, Fang Zhixia spun the [Tianheng Compass] in her hand a few times, and finally the pointer pointed to Wang Yan before slowly stopping.

The result is feasible!

Of course, we still need to plan carefully for the future.

She then said, "Alright, Yan Zhen, what he said basically matches the remains at the scene."

"The domain was indeed forcibly dispersed by multiple strange objects within a closed space."

"Moreover, if Wang Yan hadn't interrupted the sacrificial array in advance at the old subway terminal, Jiangdong City wouldn't have been able to hold out until now. This kid is the biggest contributor to this incident."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen nodded and looked at Wang Yan again.

"Kid, you saved the lives of tens of millions of people in Jiangdong City this time."

"If you don't disperse the illusory image of the Faceless God, and drag it out for another ten minutes or so, by the time the real Faceless God descends, Jiangdong City will be gone."

Wang Liqun stood to the side, unable to help but clench his fist.

He understood the weight of those words better than anyone else.

Headquarters support was stalled.

The front lines of the Jiangdong Administration Bureau were almost completely breached.

If it weren't for Wang Yan, they would probably have died inside the calamity long ago.

After Yan Zhen finished speaking, he took out a piece of equipment.

"The Jiangdong incident has been classified as an S-level city annihilation incident."

"According to the rules, Wang Yan, your weapon wielder level will be upgraded from A-level preparation to S-level preparation."

"Of course, the specific documents and permissions still need to go through the procedures. I can only upgrade your weapon wielder level for now."

"However, with the joint recommendation from Fang Zhixia and me, the process will be much faster, and we can complete the necessary procedures within two to three days."

Lin Youyou's eyes widened instantly.

"S-rank preparation?"

Wang Liqun was also taken aback.

He's only an A-level.

Wang Yan has already surpassed him?!

Ignoring the surprised expressions of those around him, Yan Zhen continued, "This temporary reward is 10,000 contribution points."

"A cash reward of one million."

"Subsequent loot and calamity remnants will be calculated separately based on the inventory results, and will be credited to your account once the inventory is complete."

Yan Zhen had just finished speaking.

Wang Yan's management bureau APP had already popped up a notification.

[Identity assessment has been updated.]

[Current Rank Change: A-Rank Prospective Weapon Holder -> S-Rank Prospective Weapon Holder.]

[Contribution points received: 10000.]

[Your account has received 1000000.00 yuan, and your current remaining balance is 1090054.02 yuan.]

Wang Yan glanced at it and was very satisfied.

What a fruitful harvest!

People from headquarters arrive quickly and leave quickly.

Yan Zhen and Fang Zhixia did not stay at the restaurant for long.

Jiangdong City is now a complete mess.

They also need to take over the old subway terminal, seal off the remnants of the sacrificial altar, remove the contamination from believers, and deal with the aftereffects left by the Faceless God's domain.

There are many things to do.

The pressure in the hotel only eased after the people from headquarters left.

Lin Youyou let out a long breath.

"Wait, Wang Yan, isn't your promotion speed a bit too much?"

Wang Yan looked at her.

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Lin Youyou almost vomited blood on the spot.

Listen to it for yourself.

"I had to go through a long process to become a full-time employee."

"For regular staff to reach B-level access, they need to complete tasks, pass assessments, and accumulate seniority."

"And you?"

"Haven't been with the Bureau for long, A-level prospective."

"Fight all night, and you'll be ready for S-rank."

Is this reasonable?

Wang Yan thought about it carefully.

"Maybe I'm just lucky?"

Lin Youyou choked.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Wang Yan was like the protagonist in a novel.

"Wang Yan, do you have some kind of system or something?"

Wang Yan paused for half a second while picking up food with his chopsticks.

He glanced at her and nodded perfunctorily.

"Hehe, yes, yes!"

Lin Youyou slammed her hand on the table in anger.

"What do you mean by 'hehe'?"

Wang Yan continued eating and ignored her.

Lin Youyou wanted to say something more.

Shen Qingli suddenly spoke.

"Actually, Youyou is right, Wang Yan, do you know that?"

"The treatment of S-rank candidates is on a completely different level from that of ordinary weapon wielders."

Lin Youyou immediately looked at her.

Shen Qingli said, "Higher level database access."

"Higher exchange limit for rare items."

"Priority access to rare medicines and training resources."

"Exemption for operations in dangerous areas".

"Special transfer order qualification"

"Safe houses, transportation, and financial support allocated separately by headquarters."

"There is also a list of key personnel to be cultivated."

Wang Yan didn't really care at first.

These benefits are very appealing.

But for him, the most important thing was still the strange objects.

Shen Qingli noticed his reaction and added another sentence.

"As long as the background check is passed and the personal information is confirmed to be correct."

"The next time headquarters acquires a new S-class artifact, you may be on the shortlist."

Wang Yan finally put down his chopsticks.

"An S-class artifact?"

Shen Qingli nodded.

"It's only a possibility."

Wang Yan became interested.

S-class artifact.

These four words are far more meaningful than a bunch of empty honors.

After the three finished their meal, Lin Youyou called the family car.

They took Wang Yan back to his residential compound.

Police tape has been put up at the entrance of the residential area.

Police and several bureau members are maintaining order.

Some residents were sitting on the roadside, lost in thought.

Some people were carried onto ambulances on stretchers.

The realm of the Faceless God has dissipated.

But the influence left by the domain will not disappear.

Wang Yan entered the building after showing his identification.

When he got home, he received a message from Wang Liqun.

[Take a rest first; we'll need you to submit a detailed report later.]

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow.

That's the downside of working within the system; you have to submit reports for everything you do.

Therefore, Wang Yan decided to entrust this matter to his nominal subordinate, Lin Youyou.

After sending the message to Lin Youyou, Wang Yan immediately silenced his phone.

Ignore the series of greetings sent by the other party.

He opened the door.

The living room is almost finished.

Uncle Qin is very efficient.

The damaged areas were repaired and cleaned, and a new batch of furniture was replaced for temporary use.

There was also a box in the corner of the living room.

Inside were two F-grade artifacts that he had previously redeemed with contribution points.

One item is a water purifier cup.

One item is the "Stop Chalk".

The effect was so-so, but it was enough for Wang Yan, who only used it for collecting and completing tasks.

He simply reached out his hand.

System prompts kept popping up.

[Unclaimed Class F artifact detected: Water purifier cup.]

[Should I add this to my favorites?]

[Unclaimed Class F artifact detected: Stopping Chalk.]

[Should I add this to my favorites?]

Wang Yan did not hesitate.

"collect."

[Successfully added to favorites.]

[Successfully added to favorites.]

Then, he took out a rare item that he hadn't had time to collect after killing the [Wraith].

[Unclaimed Grade B artifact detected: Soul Robe.]

[Ability: Conceals presence, briefly reduces the impact of physical attacks, and allows for movement within a certain range using shadows.]

[Side effects: Long-term wear may cause the wearer's body to gradually become cold and dull, and their emotions to become sluggish.]

[Should I add this to my favorites?]

Seeing this effect, Wang Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

To hide.

Damage reduction.

Shadow displacement.

While its functionality isn't overpowered, it's well-suited to complement his mobility and stealth capabilities.

"collect."

[Successfully added to favorites.]

The next second, a system notification popped up.

[Task: Collect 50 rare items (40/50).]
