At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive...

The beautiful woman was about to speak.

Suddenly, her expression changed drastically.

Three high-speed spinning blue fireballs appeared from nowhere and hovered quietly 10 centimeters in front of her eyebrows.

Beep~

The tiny tongue of flame jumped and narrowly brushed the woman's eyebrow.

Cold sweat instantly overflowed from the corner of his forehead and slid down his cheeks.

"wait wait wait!"

The woman opened her mouth and made a hoarse sound.

"Wang Woo!"

Shuangyu quickly ran to the woman, staring at her fiercely with a pair of pink eyes. Three spinning fireballs appeared around her again.

Han Ning, who was standing behind him, kept his five fingers spread out, and slowly approached with a grim expression, and asked, "Who are you?"

The fireball floating in front of the woman was not released by Frost Jade, but he borrowed its power from Frost Jade using the "borrowing" ability of a second-level beastmaster.

Yi Shuangyu had only been a soul beast for less than a day, so it was impossible for her to accurately control her soul skills.

Its fireballs had already been avoided by the woman with her flexible maneuvers.

The woman bit her lip, feeling the fireball in front of her eyebrows, which was not hot but rather a little cold, and said quickly:

"I am a staff member of the official foreign affairs team. You...you are not a member of the Black God Society?"

"Black God Society?" Han Ning frowned, "What is that?"

"An evil foreign force that specializes in abducting innocent people and using bloody sacrifices to increase its own strength."

"Sir, could you please move the fireball away first?" The woman tried to back away.

"Don't move! I ask, you answer!"

Han Ning's eyes flashed, and the fireball moved a little closer.

"you say……"

"Where did you get this set of moves?"

Seeing that the other party was agile and had no soul beast by his side, he thought that he was more like a martial arts master in martial arts novels rather than a traditional beastmaster, and he felt confused.

"I am a shadow warrior from the assassin order."

The woman answered cautiously, and at the same time was full of surprise in her heart. She wondered how the young man opposite her, who seemed to know nothing, could have obtained such powerful strength.

Especially the invisible pressure that makes people feel extremely oppressive, which is no different from those monsters at a higher level.

"Could he be an antique revived from the ruins?"

"Assassin, Shadow Warrior?"

Han Ning recorded these words in his mind calmly and continued to ask,

"What is the purpose of your coming here? The Li Lu incident?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that."

As she spoke, the woman's voice became vague and her figure gradually blurred.

Wow~

Her body instantly turned into a black mist and exploded, disappearing into the air.

"Little tricks."

Han Ning's eyes focused, and his mental power shot out at high speed, locking onto a fluctuation in the air in the distance in an instant.

He flicked his fingers.

boom!

The dark blue fireball slammed into the empty void with a sharp whistling sound.

"Humph~"

The blue flames boiled, and the grass on the ground turned into charred charcoal.

Black fog gathered, and a slender figure with her right hand shrouded in eerie blue flames suddenly emerged and fell to the ground.

She clenched her teeth, and the black mist on her body enveloped her right hand. She struggled against the flames that were like a thorn in her side, and her face became paler and paler.

"I can't resist anymore..."

The woman became ruthless and pulled out a pitch-black dagger from her waist, and was about to chop at the flaming right hand.

A stone flew over and knocked the dagger out of her left hand.

Han Ning's figure appeared beside her at some point.

He leaned over and gently held the woman's right hand.

The rising blue flames disappeared without a trace.

Then, he grabbed the woman's arm with a "bone-breaking hand" and pinned her down to prevent her from escaping. He then continued to ask: "Then let's change the way. I ask the questions and you choose the ones you can answer."

"You should be able to see that I am not an evil person, otherwise you would have been seriously injured by me and your life or death is unknown."

"You say." The woman's face, which was covered with cold sweat, eased a little.

"The Foreign Affairs Group, is it an official organization?"

"Yes, it is under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There are offices in every province of the country, specializing in handling matters involving relics and the supernatural."

"remains?"

"Yes, since a hundred years ago, countless ruins have suddenly appeared all over the world. In each of these ruins, there are endless treasures hidden, but they are also accompanied by terrible dangers."

"Whenever an unknown relic lands in a place, the creatures inside the relic will leak out through the cracks, causing great harm to the creatures in the surrounding real world."

"A hundred years ago, humans first killed some weaker monsters and entered some smaller ruins, from which they learned the secret of the sequence."

"According to the information we have excavated so far, the sequence represents the extraordinary. As the sequence improves, the extraordinary characteristics will gradually improve, and eventually transform into a level comparable to that of a god."

"But... after a hundred years of research, we have discovered that this type of improvement is not absolutely safe and is often accompanied by strong side effects. The higher the sequence, the more humanity will be stripped away from them, and they will eventually become monsters that only know how to kill, destroy, or even self-destruct."

"However, when we face some high-level and extremely dangerous relics, we have no choice but to explore the mysteries of the sequence in order to maintain social stability. In order to study the relics, reduce side effects, restrain the extraordinary people, and protect national security, countries around the world have formed similar extraordinary organizations."

“How many sequences have you discovered so far?”

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you because I don't know either. This is beyond my authority."

"How to improve supernatural powers? Or in other words, improve the sequence?" This is the question that Han Ning cares about most.

"You...you don't know how to improve, how can you be so strong."

The woman looked at Han Ning in surprise.

Soon, she realized that she had crossed the line, and quickly replied: "Improve your mental strength and spiritual energy. When both are close to saturation, take sequence potions to improve your qualifications and gain stronger abilities."

"Most of the materials for improving mental strength, spiritual energy, and making potions are produced in the ruins."

"Your foreign affairs team, or some evil organization, should have some stocks, right?" Han Ning looked at her with a smile.

The woman lowered her head and said nothing.

"I can let you go, but you have to agree to some conditions of mine." Han Ning said in a calm tone.

The woman still didn't speak. She seemed to have thought about how excessive the conditions Han Ning offered were.

"After you leave here, find a way to get me some materials to improve my mental strength and psychic energy from your unit or other places. Is that a problem?"

Han Ning looked at her calmly, a dark red electric light flashed in his deep eyes.

"Isn't this considered betrayal of your organization?"

The woman shuddered and clenched her teeth: "No problem."

"Second, you must not reveal any secrets about me to others, and you must not have any thoughts of harming me. Otherwise, you will be attacked by the sequence and die."

Han Ning said, trying to use his own mental power to outline the spiritual contract.

Hua Hua Hua~

In the real world, light blue flames rolled, and a contract made entirely of flames emerged between the two.

"If there is no problem, then put your mental strength into it and sign a contract with me."

"Devil...you are a devil!"

The moment she saw the Flame Contract, the woman’s face turned pale.

"Demon? Would a demon sign such a mild contract with you?"

Han Ning sneered disdainfully.

The woman was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that the request made by the man in front of her was not too excessive.

I didn't ask her to be involved in any confidential information, I didn't ask her to do anything too outrageous, and I didn't covet her body and soul...

She hesitated for a few seconds, but finally, under Han Ning's constant urging, she projected a weak wisp of mental power, and the two successfully concluded a contract.

"Very good, what's your name?" Han Ning smiled slightly, picked up the dagger on the ground and handed it to the woman.

"Thank you...Thank you Mingke."

"Besides your identity as a foreign affairs officer, what is your social identity?"

“A university teacher.”

"Interesting, let's leave contact information so that we can contact each other in the future."

"Um……"

...

After adding Xie Mingke's contact information, Han Ning quietly watched her leave.

This woman has an official identity. Killing her will definitely bring endless troubles. Choosing to cooperate with her is the best way.

"Wow~"

Shuangyu stuck out her tongue, lay on her back in front of Han Ning, and looked at him pitifully.

The young Frost Jade thought it had done something wrong and made its owner angry.

"You tried your best today, but from now on, I will intensify your training."

Han Ning reached out and stroked Shuangyu's furry belly a few times, touching its little nose.

"Wang!"

Shuangyu sat up and licked the palm of his hand, wagging his tail happily.

……

When we returned to Li Lu's funeral hall, it was already dawn.

Han Ning found a reason, said goodbye to Li Lu and her family, and returned to where he lived.

During the following daytime, he wandered around several large pet markets in Ludao City, trying to find other little guys.

The result was disappointing. Not a single familiar mental fluctuation was sensed.

At night, he trained Shuangyu just as he had trained Yinyi and Danbing before.

Help it master the proficiency of soul skills and comprehensively improve skills in all aspects.

Although Shuangyu has good comprehension and a smart brain, their strength growth is still a bit slow as they lack materials to replenish their spiritual energy.

"Why is there still no news from Xie Mingke? Could it be that he was caught doing something tricky by his superiors?"

At night, after completing several hours of training, Han Ning returned to the rental house and was about to urge the beautiful woman.

Suddenly, a message appeared on the phone screen.

"Mr. Han, how can I find you?"

On the communication software, a communication number with a simple and elegant ancient character avatar sent him a message.

"I'll come find you." Han Ning replied.

"Yes. Then... meet at the Sapphire Cafe on Lu Student Street at 22.30:."

"okay, I get it."

Han Ning glanced at the time: "21.47"

Lu University Street is in another district and it would take quite a while to get there, so he packed up and went out quickly.

...

Thirty minutes later, Han Ning was walking on the crowded university student street.

He glanced at the young faces passing by in groups of two or three, his expression slightly dazed.

Once upon a time, he was one of them. If he had not accidentally traveled to the Amethyst World, he might be working now, or still studying for a master's degree in a university like these students.

Not long after Han Ning arrived at the agreed location, he heard a clear and pleasant voice behind him: "Han Ning?"

Looked up.

She was wearing a slim-fitting light green modern Chinese costume, her jet-black hair was tied into a bun, and she wore a pair of plain glasses on her delicate nose...

The Xie Mingke in front of him no longer had the youthful beauty of last night. He had a more bookish air and looked more like a university teacher.

"Thank you, good evening."

Talking to a beautiful woman can really make people happy, especially when the people you talked to before were mostly some strange-looking creatures like octopus heads or elephant heads.

“He looks young, but he seems to be full of stories.”

Xie Mingke had long noticed the lost look on Han Ning's face, and she couldn't help but become more curious about this man with a mysterious background.

The two walked into the coffee shop side by side. After ordering a cold drink, Xie Mingke subconsciously looked around, deliberately avoiding the camera, and took out an exquisite small gift box from the brand-name bag she was carrying and opened it.

In the box, there were three bottles of transparent liquid the size of oral solution.

"This is concentrated psychic fluid. Long-term use can increase the upper limit of psychic energy. Most members of the foreign affairs team use this."

"Let me see."

Han Ning picked up a bottle of psychic liquid and first tried to call the panel to absorb the energy inside.

【Drip~】

[Energy +0.05]

[The energy value is too low. It is expected that the total energy will exceed 5 points before reaching the minimum restart standard. ]

The prompt appeared three times and then disappeared without a trace, as if there was a power outage.

And in Xie Mingke's vision.

Han Ning simply twisted the glass bottle with his slender fingers. Under his calm gaze, the spiritual energy liquid inside flashed a faint fluorescence and quickly disappeared.

"Yes, I can feel the spiritual energy contained in it, but... it's too little. There's no way to get more."

Han Ning put down the empty bottle and did not continue absorbing it immediately. Instead, he looked at Xie Mingke.

Xie Mingke lowered his head slightly and lowered his voice:

"This... is already my half-month supply. I can't get you more psychic fluid for now. You can only get it once a month, and it's already been used up."

"When you explore the ruins, can you take me with you? Or when you destroy some evil organization, call me and we can work together?"

0.15 energy points in half a month, if you save up 5 points, it will take you forever.

Not to mention that all of this has to be supplied to the panel. He himself doesn't need it. Frost Jade and Egg Pancake also need some energy replenishment on a daily basis.

"In the Tanges Federation, all extraordinary people must join the Foreign Affairs Group or its subordinate departments. Any extraordinary people who are not registered are considered to be evil organizations. Once discovered, they will either be expelled from the country or join the Foreign Affairs Group. In serious cases, they will be shot directly."

Xie Mingke observed Han Ning's expression and suggested cautiously, "How about... you join us? I'll be your introducer."

"Do not."
