Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality Chapter 20

Chapter 20

The next day.

Xu Bai rushed to the 38th Precinct of the East District of the Feng City Police Station and got there at 8:59 pm. He had bread in his mouth and found his check-in bar. Before the time changed 9:00 pm, he quickly stuffed the check-in bar into the clock-in machine.

He had successfully clocked in on time.

“Phew.”

He took out the check-in note and looked at the time on it. He heaved a sigh of relief. “I've saved three hundred yuan with my perfect attendance this month.”

Xu Bai put the check-in bar back in its place and returned to his seat with the bread still in his mouth. He turned on the computer and while he waited for it to boot up, took a sip of coffee and a bite of the bread. Then, he looked at the water droplet-shaped ring on his left hand.

[Item Name: Magical Ring]

[Item Quality: Gold]

[Function: Unique, cannot be dropped (Automatic Recall of Losses), Hidden Breath (Invisible, can hide one's true Level to the outside world), Storage (Obtains 10 slots to store items)]

[Description: “There was once a person who relied on this ring to uphold justice in the early stages of his career and achieved his first stash of gold]

Tsk tsk.

With a thought, Xu Bai withdrew his left hand. At the same time, the water droplet-shaped ring automatically turned invisible. There was no trace of it at all.

This was the reward that the system suddenly dropped last night after he maxed out the gold-quality Mountain Collapsing Force skill.

The system notified him that this was the first time he had upgraded the highest-quality skill to the maximum level.

It was a pleasant surprise.

After Xu Bai saw the attributes of the ring, he became even more eager. After he reached level 30, the game mall would be opened.

If the system could reward him so simply with such a powerful ring, one could only imagine the quality of the items in the game mall.

Xu Bai did want for much. He only hoped that there would be something in the game mall that could save his sister.

No matter how expensive it was…

He would pay the price.

At this moment.

There was a swish.

Chen Shan, who was sitting next to Xu Bai and had been helping him dig up information on Liu San, spun his chair around and rolled over to Xu Bai's side. Then, he squeezed Xu Bai's shoulder and could not help but exclaim, “Impressive, Brother Bai. As expected of the number one man in our 38th Precinct. No wonder the female investigators in the Information Department were commenting on your physical fitness. He recovered in just a few days?”

Xu Bai swallowed the last piece of bread. When he heard Chen Shan's words, his face darkened and he almost choked. “Ahem, who the f*ck talked about me like that?”

Damn it, how could anyone talk about others like this?

“That's not important, Brother Bai.”

Chen Shan laughed and waved his hand. “Teach me a few moves. I want to have such a good body too.”

'It is important.'

“Moreover, I suspect you were the one who spread the news of me being disgraced.”

Xu Bai looked at Chen Shan suspiciously, then snorted. “You're a cybersecurity agent. Don't use your position to visit websites or watch films inappropriate for children. Go to bed early and wake up early. You can do the same as me.”

Chen Shan was slightly stunned. “Then what's the point of me working so hard for so long to become a cybersecurity agent?”

Xu Bai opened his mouth.

This reason…

Xu Bai was silent for a while. He could not find a way to refute him, so he could only silently give Chen Shan a thumbs up.

After all, Chen Shan was able to say his dirty thoughts so casually. Just this alone was enough to make people admit defeat.

I'm not as good as you at coping.

Chen Shan looked at Xu Bai's thumbs up and laughed out loud. He waved his hand and pretended to be modest. Then, he lowered his voice and got down to business. “There are two items of interest this morning. Which do you want to hear first?”

'I forgot to mention it.'

As a cybersecurity agent in the 38th Precinct, Chen Shan was also known as the police department's know-it-all.

It wasn't just his own branch, but the entire Feng City Police Department considered him a know-it-all.

He had no choice.

After all, Chen Shan had some resources that some male detectives from other branches liked. With exclusive information, Chen Shan became the All-knowing Man in the Feng City Police Department.

“Does it have anything to do with me? If it does, let's talk about this first. If it doesn't, feel free to keep it to yourself.”

Xu Bai was not the kind of person who liked to gossip. He felt that if he had the time to gossip, he would rather drive the patrol car to the district and do some daily tasks.

In a day, the novel could earn 5,000 EXP and 3,000 Skill Experience. If he was lucky, this number coudl even be doubled.

Chen Shan shook his head.

“I'm sorry. Both incidents have something to do with you.”

“Both?”

Xu Bai looked at Chen Shan and was a little surprised. “Let's talk about the bureau first. Everything else is the same after the bureau. You can do whatever you want and sort them out yourself.”

Seeing this, Chen Shan did not say anything else. He directly pointed at the office door not far away. “Just now, Team Leader An from the internal inspection came to look for Team Leader Zhou. I asked around and according to Team Leader An's assistant, when Team Leader An went out, she was holding a standard-issue gun. From the looks of it, it should be your gun of justice… Hey, where are you going?”

Xu Bai did not wait for Chen Shan to speak. When he heard that Chen Shan's gun was back, he could no longer sit still.

“I'm going to take the gun!”

“I haven't told you the second thing yet.”

“We'll talk about it when I get back.”

Xu Bai waved his hand without turning his head. Gossip was not as important as his gun. He walked straight to the office door and pushed it open without thinking.

“Team…”

Xu Bai's words were stuck in his throat. When he opened the door, he realized Anya and the mole from the branch office weren't the only ones in the office. There was also a well-dressed middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He looked like a successful person with gold-rimmed glasses.

[Ding!]

[Name: Su Bancheng]

[Gender: Male]

[Level: **** (Target's level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)]

[Realm: **** (Temporarily unavailable if the target's Level gap exceeds five levels.)]

[Familiarity: “****” (The target's Level difference is more than five levels. Cannot be checked for the time being.)]

Hiss.

Another big shot?

“That's not right.”

Su Bancheng. Wasn't this the uncle Mengmeng was talking about?

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

Behind him.

Looking at Chen Shan, standing at the door of the office, he said, “The second thing is that Su Meng's uncle also came to look for him this morning.”

Xu Bai listened to the murmuring behind him and came back to his senses. He smiled at the square-faced old cadre in the office. “Team Leader, why didn't you close the door when you were discussing something? I thought there was no one inside.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Seated in his seat, Nero Zhou, the mole from the branch office, Anya, and the gentle-looking Su Meng's uncle looked down at Xu Bai's feet.

Xu Bai looked down as well.

The first thing he saw was…

A component that looked like the remains of a door lock laying quietly on the ground.
