Chapter 87: Door of Consciousness, Relic of Life!
“Wow! The improvement in its characteristics is really fast! No wonder it’s worthy of being known as an overly cautious snake, what with its combat method. So this is the minor boss? God knows how many years it took Xiao Jiu to kill that big snake… As expected, Xiao Jiu is a little idiot…” Wang Ye touched the Xiao Jiu egg.
Dong, dong, dong!
The egg angrily bumped itself against Wang Ye.
Looking at the white python’s simulation, opportunities and whatnot were rarer for it, but its battle method surprised Wang Ye.
Wang Ye chose options one, three, and five.
[Dynamic Vision (beginner): An intermediate special-type skill. Allow you to focus on observing the opponent’s trajectory, thus slowing down the opponent’s movements in your eyes. From there, you can find the opponent’s weakness and kill the opponent in one hit, or easily dodge the attack.]
[Gluttonous Snake (purple): You have eaten countless food and can directly absorb some rare materials.]
“Not bad, not bad!” Wang Ye was deeply gratified.
The white python’s simulation felt much smoother.
However, with its style of being overly cautious, its simulations in the future would probably take a long time, which meant his spiritual power consumption would be even greater.
“That’s all for today!” Wang Ye said.
“Huji, huji, huji!” The white python looked at Wang Ye in a daze.
It had unknowingly learned a skill and obtained a characteristic, which made it very confused.
However, the feeling was very addictive!
It still wanted to play!
It wanted more!
The white python flew to Wang Ye’s arm and coiled around him like a coiled dragon.
“More? No, no, you have to let me rest for a while! You’re just a newborn white python now. It’s not good to do this too much in a go! We have to have some self-restraint,” Wang Ye advised.
At this moment, the two people outside Wang Ye’s apartment suddenly paused when they heard this.
“Wang Ye and his pet? Umm?” Chen He’s face was etched with a strange expression.
“It shouldn’t be what you think,” Xia Wange cleared her throat and knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
“A member of the Dark Fog Epidemic Prevention Department, here to check the level of the dark fog infection in your body.”
“…”
Wang Ye opened the door and looked at the two.
“Come in,” He shrugged.
Chen He and Xia Wange looked at each other.
The other party seemed to be expecting them.
“Cut to the chase, what do the two of you want?” Wang Ye said.
If he guessed right, these two people should be the people from the mysterious department in the simulation.
“About the dark fog outbreak…” Chen He was the first to speak.
“I have already made it clear,” Wang Ye said with a smile, “Besides, the dark fog didn’t really erupt, so there isn’t a need for a statement to be made to the public. I’ve already given you two versions of the story, any one of them should suffice for your explanations to the organization, right?”

It was naturally impossible to hide such a big matter.
There had to be an explanation.
Although for Anping County and even the entire Xinghai Province, not many people would know about this disaster that had been stopped before it erupted.
However, since the country had sent people, they naturally needed to know the details.
“Your previous spiritual power was not high, and your talent of Deep Memory hasn’t been trained either…” Xia Wange said bluntly, “So both versions of what you said are open to discussion. As for the memories from your previous life that you claimed, that can indeed be used as an excuse. Which means, what you said is indeed true to a certain extent.”
“To be honest, in terms of the disaster, it has already disappeared. That is naturally the best,” Xia Wange looked at Chen He.
Chen He nodded slightly and looked Wang Ye up and down, “You have to give us some proof to show that you did it.”
“What’s there to prove?” Wang Ye shook his head, “I’m not interested.”
“There’s a reward,” Chen He said after thinking for a while.
“Please tell me immediately how I should prove it.”

“…” The two.
“The strange core,” Xia Wange said three words.
Wang Ye came to a sudden realization and immediately took out the strange core that the high-level strange god had dropped upon death.
Seeing this thing, the two could no longer stay calm.
Their faces were filled with shock.
Chen He, in particular, immediately shot out a bright light from his eyes. Like a scanner, he scanned the palm-sized strange core.
“High-level strange god, the mirror demon phantom’s strange core. Purity: 69%! It’s authentic!” Chen He said in a low voice.
The two were silent for a long time and the way they looked at Wang Ye changed slightly.
It didn’t matter whether the other party was indeed the one who killed the strange god or not. Since the other party had the strange core in his hands, he could be said to be the one who did the feat.

“Your Deep Memory talent…” Xia Wange suddenly asked, “Have you ever seen a mysterious door in your memory?”
A mysterious door?
Wang Ye was stunned for a second.
What was that?
“It seems that the answer is no,” Seeing this, Xia Wange shook her head slightly, “It means that you didn’t awaken any memories from your previous life with Deep Memory. The Door of Consciousness is a mysterious power that can be awakened from the Deep Memory talent. The memories of your past life that you made up can be seen through the Door of Consciousness. Unfortunately, since there had been records of Deep Memory, only a few have been able to see the Door of Consciousness for the past hundreds of years.”
Hearing this, Wang Ye revealed an awkward but polite smile.
F*ck, was he exposed?
Since there were only a few in hundreds of years that could see the Door of Consciousness, then he was simply out of the question.
“However, the talent of Deep Memory is quite interesting,” Xia wange smiled slightly, “Although it’s only an ordinary talent, someone else can also store memories in your talent. As such, you may have some memories and knowledge that don’t belong to you. It’s plausible as an excuse.”
“No matter what, you have done a great merit in helping to solve this dark fog crisis,” Xia Wange looked at Wang Ye seriously. “On behalf of the organization, we will give you some rewards. First, you will be given a monetary reward. Second, you will be rewarded with pet cultivation resources. Third, you will be rewarded with individual talent cultivation resources.”
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Wang Ye said.
He indeed did not!
He didn’t even say any courteous words.
Xia Wange and Chen he looked at each other.
“The monetary reward isn’t a big sum, only 20 million. You can choose one type of pet cultivation resources, as well as talent cultivation resources,” After Xia Wange said that, she looked at Wang Ye quietly.
“Pet cultivation resources… Do you have space-type resources?” Wang Ye asked, “As for individual talent cultivation resources, anything is fine.”
“You sure know how to pick,” Chen He gently pressed his wrist, and a special wooden box inlaid with silver appeared before them, “Inside the box is space spirit crystals, a unique type of spatial jade that contains a strong space-type attribute. There are about thirty of them. Under normal circumstances, they need to be processed before they can be used. We are only responsible for giving them to you, not processing them. What you do with them is up to you.”
Then, he took out a special carved ornament that looked like a lamp.
Wang Ye felt that it looked like the magic lotus lantern.
“This is a memory lotus lamp that is specially used for cultivation through meditation,” Chen He said slowly, “It is a unique divine item for cultivation. It is specially used for cultivating memory-related talents, which means it works for Deep Memory too. Just light up the memory lamp and start meditating. It can strengthen your Deep Memory talent.”
“After Deep Memory is strengthened, it can record everything you encounter. You can even clearly remember everything you encounter in the dark fog and write it out by reading your memories. Although Deep Memory is an ordinary talent, it is not useless. It is just easily disrupted, so you’ll need to cultivate it to at least level four. You should have cultivated your current spiritual power. It is not bad. With the help of the memory lotus lamp, your talent should be improved very quickly.”
The levels of talents were equivalent to the strength levels of pets.
Wang Ye had never cultivated his talent before.
“Also, try not to spread the news about the dark fog in Anping County,” Xia Wange sighed softly, “The dark fog is endless. Someone has to carry the burden and walk forward to give the people hope. I believe that you have such awareness.”
“I understand!” Wang Ye said as he stared at the resources.
Seeing this, the two checked whether Wang Ye’s body was infected with the dark fog. They found that it didn’t seem to be, so they left after leaving a few reminders.
After leaving the apartment, Chen He couldn’t help but ask, “Captain Xia, although Wang Ye didn’t see the Gate of Consciousness in his memory, it’s highly possible that he killed that high-level strange god. Moreover, based on his growth in the past few months, it’s clear that he has another unique talent. Why don’t we recruit him?”
Xia Wange was silent for a few seconds, “Dawn Bureau is too dangerous. He’s also too young, so it’s best if he doesn’t join for the time being. He’ll easily be targeted by others. We’re not only dark fog scholars, but also light chasers. Behind us is endless darkness. The slightest bit of carelessness and we’ll be completely devoured. In addition, it’s precisely because he has a hidden unique talent that it’s enough for him to slowly grow in the Investigation Corps…”
—
After Chen He and Xia Wange left, Lin Rou came the next day.
“The dark fog has been cleared. Unfortunately, we haven’t even found Tang Xiong’s body,” Lin Rou sighed.
Wang Ye was silent.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about these heavy matters,” Lin Rou waved her hand. “Right, I have to tell you something. A few days ago, a special relic was discovered in Yaoguang City. On top of that, it’s a rare relic of life.”
“Relic of life?” Wang Ye was slightly stunned.
“That’s right, the relic contains powerful life force fluctuations,” Lin Rou’s expression was solemn, “It’s highly probable that an ancient tree of life is growing inside. As a newly discovered resource-based relic, the major cities and counties will probably come snatching for it.”
“The Investigation Corps has the preemption to enter the relic and investigate. In addition, the relic itself has unique rules. Only pets below level 4 can enter. Thus, the many Investigation Corps set a rule that only senior investigators can enter the relic to investigate and obtain information, as well as search for the distribution of resources.”
“Still, the priority is being fought over by the various Investigation Corps. That sparrow of yours should already be at nine-star level 2, right?” Lin Rou looked at Wang Ye with anticipation, “So, this time, we plan to send you to fight for the relic investigation priority. At that time, there will be an official battle. All of your opponents will be level three pets. With your sparrow’s performance, it should be at level three by then. It should have the chance to win the relic investigation priority.”
“…” Wang Ye.
Shit. Xiao Jiu was still an egg!
“To be honest, Xiao Jiu fought in the dark fog for too long and got injured. It might need a few months to recover,” Wang Ye said helplessly.
“A few months?” Lin Rou was shocked, “What kind of injury did it suffer? Why does it need so long? This is equivalent to hatching a new pet… But I remember that you have another pet?”
Wang ye lifted the white python and said, “It’s still relatively young.”
The white python made a funny face.

Lin Rou, “…”
“This is troublesome then,” Lin Rou thought for a few seconds and helplessly said, “The strength of the senior investigators in our Corps is quite limited. They might only get the last few places in such a competition. If the Investigation Corps of the other cities smell the benefits and forcefully participate, it’ll be even more difficult for us.”
“How long till the competition?”
“Less than two months.”
“It’s enough, very enough time!” Wang Ye patted his chest.
If he didn’t have money, he wasn’t sure if he could make it in two months.
But now that he had money and also resources, let alone two months, Wang Ye was confident that he could nurture the white python in just one month!
Lin Rou glanced at Wang Ye and nodded, “Okay, if you need anything in these two months, let me know.”
For now, he didn’t have anything he needed in particular…
“Relic of life…” After Lin Rou left, Wang ye pondered for a few seconds and felt that this was an opportunity.
Perhaps it could help Xiao Jiu hatch faster.
“Little guy!” Wang Ye picked up the white python, “It’s up to you!”
“Huji!” The white python tilted its head.
“Come on, let’s simulate!”
