Please be my partner.

After sending the two deputy directors away with a smile, Osama's face suddenly darkened.

He said to Secretary Fate beside him, "Lu Er is not a talkative person, and Jon's behavior is not right. Go get the information about Mellen. I want all the detailed information!"

Secretary Fate did not hesitate and did it immediately.

In an ordinary carriage, Jon and Luer, who were supposed to leave separately, appeared here at the same time.

Jon said, "Today's performance was a bit too much. With Osama's keen sense, he must have noticed it."

Lu Er said calmly: "It's just a deliberate attempt to alarm him. After all, we've been together for so many years, we should at least give him a chance to choose."

Jon frowned and said, "Isn't that too risky?"

Luer shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I know Osama better than you do. Even if he gets some clues, he won't reveal them easily. This guy is very smart!"

Jon nodded and said, "That's good. I hope he can stand on our side. Otherwise... the ship of the new era can't carry those who choose to stand on the side of the old era."

Mellen didn't know that with the help of his opportunity to obtain the reward, the three big guys completed a round of mutual testing and game.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, and he wouldn't even mind coming a few more times.

After all, the treasure in hand is so delicious!

After returning to the academy lounge, Melen couldn't wait to take out the [Blue Ring] and put it on his hand, then mobilized his own mental power and injected it into it.

When using it for the first time, you need to inject enough mental power into the Beast Taming Bracelet to form a mark. After that, only a very small amount of mental power is needed, and it can be opened instantly.

After a moment, his spirit was shaken and he entered the interior of the [Blue Ring].

This is a space of only 100 cubic meters in size. Melen felt that he could set its length, width and height to a certain extent, but the overall size would remain unchanged.

This is also an ability that only fine beast-taming bracelets have.

Not only is it rich in spirituality, but it also constantly ripples with a water-blue energy, which makes his spirit feel a little comfortable.

Melen raised his hand, and Little Honglian immediately rushed out of the small cage. He gently stroked the little guy, and the little guy suddenly disappeared and entered the [Blue Ring].

Melen observed for a while and found that the Beast Taming Bracelet could indeed block the influence of [Enemy of the World], and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Honglian was extremely excited at this time, running around crazily in the [Blue Ring]. For the little fellow who had lived in a small cage most of the time since birth, this place was already an excellent environment except that he could not see his owner all the time.

Feeling the little guy's excitement and loss, Melen surrounded it with his mental power to comfort it.

Next is Spike. Because of the contractual connection, Melen wants to put the dog into the [Blue Ring] without direct contact.

It can also use Mellen's mental power to perceive the situation outside and break away from it at any time.

Of course, due to the limitations of the [Azure Ring] itself, the distance cannot be too far, whether entering or exiting, and the maximum range is about five meters.

As Mellen thought about it, Spike disappeared from his sight.

In the [Azure Ring], Spike felt the rich spirituality around him, as well as the aqua-blue energy that restored and nourished his body, and he was very satisfied.

After a period of experimentation, Melen came to a surprising conclusion...

Originally, due to Spike's increased strength, the amount of spiritual energy he could accumulate every day had increased from the initial 0.2 to 0.3.

And now, in the spiritually rich environment of the [Azure Ring], the spiritual energy that Spike can bring to him every day has increased to 0.5.

Although it is still a little worse than the spiritual practice room.

But, these are all long-lasting and additional benefits!

Chapter 86: 'Pleasure' Potion ( Monthly Tickets Plus)

5 month 25 day.

Because the turbulence of Spike's life force had calmed down and a new mark could be engraved, after thinking briefly between [Tough Body] and [Gigantism], Melen chose the former.

Although there is not much difference between choosing first and choosing later, in Mellen's opinion, it is useless to be broad, and what is more important is hardness and durability.

The effects of [Tough Body] are actually divided into two types. One is passive, where the earth element will be integrated into the body, making the body stronger and strengthening the body's own defense and injury immunity.

The other can be actively activated to form a defensive technique similar to stone armor.

Although doing so will cause the body to lose some flexibility, it can greatly increase defense capabilities, and the effect can be amplified by the ability of [Earth Element Control].

Moreover, according to Mentor Heb, the stone armor obtained by [Tough Body] is only the most basic version. If you want to strengthen the protection of the stone armor in other aspects, you can try to learn some knowledge about armor casting and mechanical structure.

Although supernatural powers rely on mystery, the manifestation of most supernatural powers still has to abide by basic rules.

The Knights of Dusk are not some old-fashioned force that is unable to adapt, and the Branded Knights are not stupid either. They keep up with the times, just like everyone else!

5 month 26 day.

Because of his better preparation and the recovery effect of the [Azure Ring], Spike defeated six carefully selected second-level extraordinary beings in two days this weekend.

When Gouzi tore the last white ape into pieces, its aura suddenly rose to a higher level despite being covered in blood, and its crazy fighting spirit seemed to be solidifying into substance.

Melen showed a look of surprise and looked at Spike's attribute panel. As expected, the race level was upgraded to the second level.

As Spike's strength increased, the activity level of the geometric structure in Mellen's spiritual world also increased again. He could vaguely feel that he was not far from the second level...

The only thing that made Melen sigh was that Spike's racial level and occupational level had both reached the second level. Coupled with his powerful skills, his strength had reached a level that was extremely strong even among the second level.

Opponents like those before can now be easily defeated and hunted by it.

This also means that the effect of fighting against ordinary second-level extraordinary life forms will be greatly reduced.

Unless facing multiple enemies, we can continue to put pressure on Spike and stimulate its fighting spirit.

When Mellen told this to Rob, the latter agreed with a very forced smile, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

Of course, it's just a little bit. He will still get the wool that should be fleeced.

After all, improving your strength is not a bad thing!

5 month 28 day.

Mellen received a call from Henry and went to the latter's home.

Because of the contribution of the Berserk Potion, Henry's status in the Beastmaster Alliance has been greatly improved, and his successful application for the formula for the intermediate pet growth potion is proof of this.

Looking at the potion in his hand that was emitting a light green glow, Melen was very happy.

This was the first intermediate pet growth potion Henry had successfully refined, and he gave it to Mellen first.

According to the former, the effect of the intermediate pet growth potion is stronger and longer-lasting than the primary pet growth potion.

It takes a total of ten days from drinking it to fully exert its effects.

This was the result of a deliberate design by the Beastmaster Alliance when they originally developed the formula for this potion.

Doing so will not only allow the pet to absorb the medicine more fully, but also minimize the development of drug resistance.

In fact, according to the rules, after Henry got the formula for the intermediate pet growth potion, the first batch of potions he prepared had to be handed over to the Beastmaster Alliance. Only after meeting the alliance's requirements could he take out a small amount of potions to sell or use as mission rewards.

However, the rules are fixed after all. As long as Henry does not violate the contract and replenishes the first batch of medicine quotas on time, even if others discover his little tricks, they will turn a blind eye and not say anything.

Henry promised to complete the alliance's needs as soon as possible and then refine it for Mellen immediately.

The cost of intermediate potions is higher than that of primary ones, and one bottle requires 20 gold coins.

Melen planned to keep the potion as a regular item for Spike and Xiao Honglian until the potion's effect completely wore off.

So……

It takes ten days to digest one bottle, which means three bottles a month, and six bottles for two dogs.

Considering that he might meet new dogs during the holidays and needed to prepare some extra, Mellen bought 30 bottles directly from Henry.

That means a total of 600 gold coins are consumed.

Of course, Henry doesn't need to deliver the 30 bottles of potion at once. He just needs to give them to him in batches before Mellen's vacation comes.

After leaving Henry's house, Mellen looked at the small treasury that had shrunk even more and shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, he made a deal with Miss Aituo during the rat tide, and his father Lennon was generous enough to give him 2000 gold coins directly. Otherwise, he would probably have to ask his family for money again.

Thinking of Lennon and Ato, I couldn't help but think of the forbidden object [Fairy Tale Town] that appeared in the Southern Wilderness. I wonder if this father and daughter know anything about the latter.

But then Melen shook his head and gave up the idea of exploration. Things at the level of forbidden objects were not something he could touch at the moment.

6 month 1 day.

Spike completed the last brand, the engraving of [Gigantism].

At this point, the three imprints of [Juqing] have been engraved.

The next step is to practice step by step until you can combine them.

[Gigantism] can, to a certain extent, make the body become gigantic, greatly improving strength and physique.

At the beginning, it can only increase body size by about 20%, and strength and physical fitness can be improved by 10%.

With the continuous practice of this branding skill, the body size can be increased by up to 100%, strength and physical fitness can be improved by 50%, and it can even be performed in reverse to reduce the body size proportionally.

While the dogs were improving their strength, Mellen himself was not idle either.

The two skills he possesses, [Contract Summoning] and [Damage Transfer], have both been significantly improved during this period.

Especially the key [Damage Transfer], not only the degree of injury that can be transferred is improved, but the transfer time is also reduced from the original three seconds to the current one second.

The improvement is significant. It has gone from being completely useless in actual combat to being able to be used in actual combat to a certain extent.

Of course, every improvement within one second will be more difficult, and if it cannot be performed instantly, it will not be possible to be immune to fatal injuries.

However, the current situation is enough to make him think about it.

For example, the extraordinary revolver hanging on the exchange list... [Final Track].

This time he returned to Vero City, but he was ready to investigate the traces of the 'Swallowing Swamp'. Once he really found any clues, he might have to face the polluter or even the corrosive agent.

At this time, the more cards you have, the better.

It was with this idea in mind that during this period, whenever he had some free time, he would go to the Special Affairs Bureau's training camp to resume his firearms training.

6 month 3 day.

Mellen and Salim were walking down Thirteenth Avenue in casual clothes.

In Mellen's opinion, the level of chaos here is definitely not inferior to that of the Gaodun District on Twelfth Avenue where a cult den was once wiped out.

However, unlike the Gaoton District on 12th Avenue, where good and bad people mixed together and the people had complicated and mysterious origins, there were many gangs here, but they had their own unique set of operating rules in the chaos.

Not only are there various entertainment facilities here, such as bars and dance halls, but there is also the underground boxing gym that Mellen had been dreaming of when he first arrived in Roland City.

I think if you look carefully, you can find a place like the Colosseum.

Unfortunately, times have changed and he no longer needs this.

The two of them came here naturally because of the mission from the Special Affairs Bureau.

During this period, a potion called "Joy" spread in Roland City. This potion has a strong hallucinogenic effect and is difficult to get rid of. It is a type of banned drug that is strictly prohibited by the Kingdom of Crow.

Originally, even if this was the case, this matter should have been handled by the police and had nothing to do with the Special Affairs Bureau.

However, after taking this medicine, some people with special physical conditions may possess certain extraordinary powers, which the Special Affairs Bureau cannot ignore.

So immediately issue a task to investigate.

According to recent intelligence, Thirteenth Avenue is the birthplace of this medicine.

So, Melen and Salim came after accepting the mission.

Walking on the street, feeling the wary eyes of those around them who occasionally glanced at them because of the two unfamiliar faces, Melen asked: "Now, what should we do?"

Salim frowned and said, "If we were in Vero City, we could just go find the gang leader and force him to tell us the information."

"But I'm not familiar with Roland City yet, and I've never dealt with any of the gangs here. Even if I find their leader, they might not be willing to cooperate. And even if I give them information, it might not be true, and it could easily alert them."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go to the police station first and see what the sheriff here says."

Because Roland City is so large, each area has its own police station, and Thirteenth Avenue is no exception.

After entering the police station, the two soon met the police chief, a slightly plump middle-aged man wearing a pair of gentle glasses and a kind smile on his face.

Salim had already reviewed the other party's information before arriving. He immediately took out his Special Affairs Bureau ID and showed it to the other party. He then said, "Mr. Tano, I am Salim from the Special Affairs Bureau. The person next to me is my partner, Melen. We are here to investigate the 'Joy' potion."

Tano didn't seem surprised and said with a smile: "My lords, please tell me how you need my cooperation. I will definitely do my best."

Salim looked at Tano and asked, "Regarding the 'Joy' potion, I'd like to know how much information you have?"

Tano paused, a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Sir, I think you should also know the situation here on Thirteenth Avenue. On a daily basis, just maintaining those gangs has exhausted us. We really don't have the energy to investigate other things."

Salim raised his eyebrows and asked, "So you guys don't know anything here?"
