The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Investigation Bureau ward.

First, they saw off Hu Cheng and Gao Buhuan, then Peng Yong and Xu Ji, and finally Lin Yuan—three groups of people arrived one after another, as if they had made an appointment.

Wu You leaned against the headboard, looking at the things on the table: a fruit basket, nutritional supplements, a bouquet of flowers, and the box of special medicinal herbs that Lin Yuan had brought. A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Unbeknownst to him, he already had so many friends in this world.

He glanced down at the newly grown flesh on his chest, and his smile faded slightly: This world is truly dangerous.

At the same time, a question arose in Wu You's mind.

Given the strength of that royal corpse in the black dress, it could have easily killed itself, so why didn't it?

Moreover, judging from the various behaviors of that royal corpse, it was clearly targeting him.

Why would it target itself?

Wu You suddenly remembered the third-tier corpse species he had killed last time. It had a pair of pure black eyes, and the royal corpse species also had a pair of pure black eyes.

Thinking of this, Wu You couldn't help but feel a toothache: Could the two of them have some kind of relationship?

However, if that third-tier corpse species is truly related to that royal corpse species, it can explain why it, even in its weakened state, provides more experience points than other fully-fledged third-tier corpse species.

If only I had known earlier that that Tier 3 corpse species was related to the royal corpse species...

Thinking of this, Wu You couldn't help but shake his head.

There's no such thing as knowing beforehand. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still unhesitatingly split the cold thing in two and turn it into warm experience points.

Moreover, now that he was being targeted by that royal corpse, Wu You stopped thinking about it and picked up his phone to investigate.

Open the contribution points section in your personal information.

Personal contribution points: 4600

He remembered that there were only a little over two thousand before, but this time, Ye Yi gave him a large sum of money to hold back the royal corpse seed.

Swipe down and tap on contribution points; a redemption list will unfold on your phone screen.

Tier 1 Universal Energy Stone: 100 Contribution Points/stone

Tier 1 Fire Attribute Energy Stone: 110 Contribution Points/stone

Tier 1 Ice Attribute Energy Stone: 110 Contribution Points/stone

. . .

Tier 2 Universal Energy Stone: 200 Contribution Points/stone

Tier 2 Fire Attribute Energy Stone: 220 Contribution Points/stone

Tier 2 Ice Attribute Energy Stone: 220 Contribution Points/stone

. . .

Energy stones are important items that help ability users improve their strength. They can accelerate the accumulation of energy and shorten the time required for ability users to reach the breakthrough stage. They are daily training materials for ability users.

Universal energy stones are energy stones that can be used by users of any attribute, while special attribute energy stones require the user's own attribute to be similar to theirs to absorb them. The energy contained in special attribute energy stones is generally purer than that of universal energy stones of the same quality, so the contribution points required to exchange for them are also 10% more expensive.

Wu You had exchanged for energy stones a few times before, wanting to see if absorbing the energy in the energy stones could improve his strength or increase his experience points.

If he could increase his experience points, then besides killing zombies to gain experience points, Wu You would have another way to increase his experience points by spending real money.

Unfortunately, the energy stone does not increase experience points, but the energy inside can be absorbed. However, Wu You has not awakened any abilities, so the absorbed energy cannot be effectively utilized.

It could be used when performing sword techniques, but its efficiency was less than one percent of the internal energy's utilization rate, which led Wu You to directly abandon the idea of ​​absorbing energy stones.

The price-performance ratio is really too low.

You'd be better off practicing swordsmanship with that kind of effort.

Wu You kept swiping his finger across the screen, and soon, information about an item appeared before his eyes.

Four-Colored Crystal Longsword: 4500 Contribution Points/Sword

He clicked on it without hesitation.

Four-Colored Crystal Longsword: 110cm long, 200g in weight, with high energy conduction efficiency, capable of penetrating the surface defenses of most fourth-tier corpses and a small number of fifth-tier corpses.

Wu You had seen relevant information about four-color crystals on the survey platform.

The Dark Realm also contains various mountains, which naturally contain all sorts of mineral resources.

Multicolored crystal minerals are a relatively common mineral resource in the Dark Domain.

First-order polychromatic crystals are generally colorless and transparent, and are called colorless crystals.

Second-order multicolor crystals will randomly have an additional color in the transparent ore, and such multicolor crystals are called dicolor crystals.

With each subsequent level upwards, a new color will be added to the multicolor crystal.

The four-color crystal corresponds to the fourth-order multicolor crystal.

Weapons made of multicolored crystals generally have three advantages: they are sharp, have good energy conduction, and are very light.

Moreover, the more colors a multicolor crystal contains, the sharper the weapon it produces and the better its energy conductivity.

Without any hesitation, I clicked to redeem.

The contribution points of 4600 were instantly reduced to 100.

Supplies redeemed at the Investigation Bureau are usually picked up in person at the Investigation Bureau. Of course, delivery is also possible, but an additional contribution point will be charged as a delivery fee.

After all, the personnel delivering supplies are also agents of the Investigation Bureau, and all the fees collected go to the delivery personnel as mission rewards. Some logistics personnel even take on delivery missions along their routes to earn some extra money.

After changing to a different sword, Wu You exchanged the remaining 100 contribution points for jade coins.

In the Investigation Bureau's system, 1 contribution point can be exchanged for 1000 jade coins, but generally no one will use contribution points to exchange for jade coins, since the Investigation Bureau's special resources cannot be bought with jade coins.

Moreover, even if you could buy it outside, it wouldn't be at the same price as the Investigation Bureau.

But for Wu You, 100 contribution points are nothing. They can be exchanged for 10 jade coins, which he can then use to give to his parents, making things much easier for them.

As for his identity within the Investigation Bureau, Wu You did not intend to let them know. After all, the world of ability users was too dangerous; one wrong move and he could be shattered to pieces.

Even Wu You, who possessed fourth-tier strength, almost perished at the hands of a royal corpse.

His phone chimed, pulling him back to reality.

100,000 jade coins have arrived in my account.

As Wu You looked at the message, he was already figuring out how to get the money home.

Winning a prize? A scholarship? Or a school subsidy? Never mind, I'll just have Uncle Lin help me make up something.

. . . . . .

As a ray of dawn slowly peeked over the horizon, the skyline was tinged with a pale orange-red. Wu You walked out of the Investigation Bureau building carrying a black cloth bag containing the four-colored crystal longsword he had just exchanged.

In less than a night, the penetrating wound in his chest had almost completely healed and would no longer affect his ability to wield his sword.

Now that you're better, there's no need for you to stay in the hospital room anymore.

He stuffed the longsword he had just received into his bag and prepared to leave.

Lying in the investigation bureau all the time isn't a good idea; he needs to go out and earn experience points.

As for that royal corpse, he asked Ye Yi about it.

Ye Yi simply said mysteriously that there was no need to worry, and if they encountered it again, the unlucky one would naturally be that royal corpse. When pressed further, Ye Yi refused to say more, only patting his shoulder and telling him to rest for a couple of days.

Wu You knew that the bureau must have already taken certain measures.

Since there were arrangements from above, he couldn't let a minor setback deter him. He should just continue doing what he was supposed to do and keep earning experience points.

He paused slightly as he passed the security booth in front of the Bureau of Investigation building.

He remembered that the guard booth had always been empty, but he thought it was normal; he couldn't imagine under what circumstances the Investigation Bureau would need security guards.

But strangely enough, there was someone sitting in the pavilion today?

A new security guard?

Out of politeness, Wu You nodded to the security guard in the guard booth.

Inside sat a man in a security guard uniform, with long black hair and a rugged face. When Wu You looked over, the man smiled and nodded at him in response.

Without giving it much thought, Wu You quickly passed through the investigation bureau's gate.
