My Salvation Game Became true?!. Chapter 82 – Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Detecting Anchors

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Detecting Anchors
 

Inside the training ground, Fang You turned off Xing Jing Lei's vision.

He rubbed his eyes.

Staring at a rough man for so long wasn't something he wanted, and he needed some beautiful things to ease back into normalcy.

“Xing Jing Lei's talent and awakened ability are both combat-oriented. His combat strength is formidable, and now that he has learned the Cannon Punch technique, he can fully utilize his abilities.”

“Such a person would be wasted if we don't let him do more work.”

But there was still a problem.

Xing Jing Lei was far away in Yunling State, outside the range of map detection, so he could neither provide him with navigation nor obtain Destiny Points as a reward.

Fang You pondered whether to call him back to Baiyun State.

He didn't necessarily have to come to Baijiang City — the city was now tranquil, with hardly a Mysterious Evil to be seen in the urban areas. On the rare occasion one did spring up, it would be eliminated with the utmost speed.

Black Blade and An Jianyou's work tasks had now moved to the suburbs and beyond.

They were already at the edge of the map.

It was time to upgrade the map range.

‘Map Detection' (Can be upgraded)

●Map Range Level 2

●Detection Accuracy Level 1→2

The upgrade from Level 2 to Level 3 required 30 Mysterious Crystals and 2 Destiny Points.

It seemed that the Destiny Points were just a minor addition, serving as a lubricant, while the Mysterious Crystals were much more needed — 30 Mysterious Crystals was equivalent to thirty white-grade items.

It was expensive.

But he had previously opened a bag of Mysterious Crystals, which was enough.

Fang You glanced at the main interface.

‘Destiny Points: 5.3'

‘Mysterious Crystals: 126'

Upgrade!

Ding!

On the map detection interface, the ‘Level 2' flickered with golden sparks turning into a large ‘Level 3,' solidifying there.

At the same time, on the task interface's map.

The map was circular, showing the urban and suburban areas of Baijiang City, as well as some of the surrounding mountainous environments. Beyond that was an expanse of darkness.

It was the unopened part of the map.

At that moment, the dark area rippled like a wave, peeling away bit by bit to reveal its true self.

More than ten minutes later, the expansion of the map slowed to a stop.

Fang You took a look.

The map now showed not only Baijiang City but also several neighboring cities.

Alongside the expanded map, there were also those eye-catching, densely packed red mission markers.

The entire map, except for the inner circle of Baijiang City, was once again a sea of red.

“The map of Baijiang City has been too clean lately; I'd almost forgotten how grave the situation is.”

“Ignore the few scattered Mysterious Evils in the suburbs for now; give priority to eradicating those within the urban areas.”

He looked at each one.

The cities that appeared within the map range mainly included several.

North River City, to the north of Baijiang City.

Qingshui City, to the west of Baijiang City.

Lindong City, to the east of Baijiang City.

The situation in North River City to the north was particularly severe; there were no fewer than six two-star Mysterious Evils within its city limits… although they were in relatively remote areas that had already been sealed off, they were still like ticking time bombs… bombs that could affect an entire street.

Both Qingshui City and Lindong City had their share of two-star Mysterious Evils.

And not a small number either.

These were possibly what the Bureau had already dealt with.

“But the real problem with Mysterious Evils lies outside the cities.”

“We don't have the manpower to deal with the Mysterious Evils outside the cities, and the naturally spawning ones are also more numerous.”

“Between Baijiang City and Qingshui City, Lindong City, there are vast forested areas, and these places are the most dangerous.”

Some of the mission markers were particularly bright red.

“Two-star mission (Group)”

“Hint: Detection function deduces the presence of more than three two-star Mysterious Evils and more than ten one-star Mysterious Evils in the mission area. For more detailed information, please upgrade ‘Precision Detection' or investigate in reality.”

“Two-star mission (Group)”

“Two-star mission (Group)”

“Three-star mission: ??”

Unlike in the urban areas, many one-star and two-star missions here are for groups and are in complex forest environments, which greatly increases the danger.

Even the three-star missions—there are as many as seven detected on this map!

Of course, they are all in very secluded forests, rarely visited by humans, and in terms of danger, they may not be as harmful as the one-star Mysterious Evils in urban areas.

It's still necessary to start cleaning up those first.

The next level of ‘Map Range' upgrade requires 200 Mysterious Crystals, which clearly isn't feasible right now.

After giving it some thought, Fang You proceeded with the ‘Precision Detection' upgrade.

This feature may not seem very profitable at a glance, but it can play a crucial role in ensuring safety by marking and alerting to some invisible Mysterious Evils.

This kind of alert applies not just to him, but to Black Blade, An Jianyou, and other Angel Envoys as well.

It provides a timely ‘ding-dong' reminder in his mind.

However, when the ‘Precision Detection' also reached Level 3…

“Ding!”

“Hint: ‘Map Range' and ‘Precision Detection' have both been upgraded to Level 3, unlocking the ‘Anchor Point' feature. You can deploy anchor points in other areas to detect the distribution of Mysterious Evils around the anchor points.”

“Hint: Manufacturing an anchor point costs 30 Mysterious Crystals. At the current level, you may have up to three additional detection anchor points. ‘Map Range' for the anchor point area requires the same upgrade as the main area, with a maximum not exceeding the main detection map. ‘Precision Detection' doesn't require upgrading and its effects are equivalent to the main detection map.”

It's tantamount to opening up a new mission map.

Fang You thought for a while, then spent 30 Mysterious Crystals to create an anchor point and zoomed out on the ‘Baijiang City and Surrounding Cities' map, his main area.

He swiped the map to the left, quickly reaching the edge, and beyond that was unexplored territory, completely shrouded in darkness.

Continuing to drag left for a while, he saw a character's circular frame appear on the pitch-black map.

It was Xing Jinglei, far away in Yunling State!

“Ding!”

“Hint: Would you like to deploy the detection anchor point with the Apostle of Fate ‘Xing Jinglei' as the coordinate reference?”

He chose yes.

Instantly, like a pebble tossed into a pond, ripples spread across the dark map and a detection grid covering half a city block slowly unfolded.

The second map.

On it were plotted several mission red marks.

Time to take on missions, working man.

…

In this moment,

within a hotel in Yunling City, Xing Jinglei was just about recovered after a period of rest.

He was considering whether he should go back to the small town he was in before.

He was a well-known Hunter of Mysterious Evils active in that area, and he had quite a reputation in the entire western part of Yunling State. It was due to this fame and network that he was able to locate one Mysterious Evil after another.

Otherwise, with Mysterious Evils being so difficult to find by sight and touch, he might not be able to even start a hunt once a month, going by himself.

And he needed a financier.

The existence of Mysterious Evils was no longer a secret among some wealthy families, and part of his wealth came from these rich patrons.

He could take orders and hunt Mysterious Evils himself while pilfering materials.

The future life of the strongest Hunter of Mysterious Evils was so down to earth yet wealthy.

Right, he was now part of an organization.

He was no longer a wild hunter.

But this organization seemed to be… not valuing him much?

There has been no follow-up.

After all, he was a well-known Hunter of Mysterious Evils!

Even though he didn't want to lose his freedom by being controlled, feeling like he was just an optional backup still made Xing Jinglei feel slightly disheartened.

At that moment,

a light “ding” sounded in his mind.
