Although he did not reach the tenth level, the improvement brought by the seventh level cultivation still made Qin Jinnian satisfied. After a while of excitement, he looked at the abyss materials around him, then exhaled lightly and frowned in deep thought.

He had agreed to trade Abyss Materials with the Night Watchman before, firstly because he had too much cash and memory money and he had nothing to spend, and secondly because he was also very curious about Abyss Materials.

At the same time, these materials are also needed to upgrade the super power core of the original body.

And when the night watchman sent him a list and let him know that there were super-powered materials that could be upgraded to the tenth level, he was even more determined to agree.

After all, the Super Martial Alliance can only provide seventh-level materials at most, and the ones below that only occasionally appear at black market auctions in the imperial capital.

He actually planned to sell the remaining abyss materials on the black market.

But now, this idea has changed.

Of course it was because of the transaction that Qin Fang mentioned later.

Qin Jinnian has decided to accept the deal, which means that Dawn now has the qualifications to sell Abyss Materials in a legitimate way... so there is naturally no need to go to the black market again.

Now, the storage of this batch of materials has become a big problem.

Because once the deal is reached, Abyss materials will arrive in batches... The previous idea was to temporarily put them in the ruins, but if the deal is reached, the ruins will obviously not work... After all, the ruins are too dangerous. Even if we don't mention the monsters, there is still the Abyss Mist... The spiritual pollution of the Abyss Mist is not something that ordinary people can easily ignore.

It's impossible to assign a clone to look after all the abyss materials, right? Let's not talk about whether they can see it or not... The key is that these clones have no self-awareness, and each one is controlled by Qin Jinnian's main consciousness...

Qin Jinnian doesn't want to spend a lot of time and energy on this kind of thing every day in the future.

He was willing to accept the deal because of the benefits, not to get something that would drain his energy. If that were the case, he would rather refuse.

If he didn't already have a general understanding of the source of the ownerless super power core, which gave him the confidence to train a group of confidants who were completely loyal to him... otherwise, he wouldn't have thought about so many things.

"No matter what, you still have to elevate your status first... Only when you reach 'divine awareness' can everything else unfold. Otherwise... it's all empty talk."

Qin Jin let out a long sigh.

Now he only has an ownerless super power core. But because he only has the authority of the Shadow System, this authority is too deeply involved with Zhang San, so he naturally cannot give it away.

Only after his status reaches divine awareness and other series of powers are unlocked, giving him the ability to create "common superpowers", can he begin to train his confidants...

When I think about it this way, there seems to be a lot of things to come...

He let out a light breath, took one last look around, and finally he left behind a clone.

For the time being, I can only let my clone guard here.

…

…

After returning home, Qin Jinnian did not immediately contact Qin Fang to express his willingness to accept the deal... After all, a discussion should always be conducted in a pretense of being discussed. It is normal to discuss such a big matter for several days.

If I really give an immediate reply, it will seem fake.

In the next few days, Qin Jinnian had a clear goal and started working immediately. Except for one who stayed in the Vacuum Church base to look after the abyss materials, the other three clones began a crazy killing day and night.

There are nine ruins around Canglan City. Except for ruins No. 4 which had been cleared out by the Night Watch and the military and monsters were rare, there were a large number of monsters in other ruins, and these monsters all became Qin Jinnian's prey.

Hunting these ordinary monsters with the strength of Shadow Control is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

As a result, the teams of super warriors who frequently lingered in the ruins during this period were all a little confused.

"What's going on? In just one week, we encountered a monster?"

"Did something happen in the ruins? I heard from Lao Zhao that it's the same in Ruins No. 2, the monsters there are extremely rare."

"It's really a ghost..."

Many of the "empty" super warrior teams were at a loss after leaving the ruins. After chatting with each other, they found that many of them were "empty"...

It looks very much like the fisherman in Qinghe Lake more than a month ago.

Qin Jinnian encountered several waves of them, and in the end he could only apologize to them secretly...but they still had to be killed.

Seven or eight days passed like this.

Finally, the attribute points exceeded 2.5 million.

Without any hesitation, Qin Jinnian directly started the point-adding mode... This time, he added spirit! The spirit power finally reached 10,000!

[The current mental strength has reached the current status limit, please increase the 'status'. 】

[All current shadow authority has been upgraded to level 3. Authority can be merged to become a mid-level authority. The current number of shadow authority is '5/5'. ]

[Fusion Authority, Condition 1: Vitality 10000. Condition 2: Mental Power 10000. Condition 3: Requires 5000000 Shadow Points. Current Progress: Vitality 5002/10000 (Not Achieved). Mental Power: 10000/10000 (Completed). Shadow Points: 3471354.41/5000000 (Not Achieved)]

Looking at the words on the panel, Qin Jinnian felt a sense of accomplishment.

'Condition 2' has been completed.

Now all that’s left is ‘condition one’ and ‘condition three’.

Qin Jinnian continued to work...

…

…

While Qin Jinnian was working on his liver, Qin Fang welcomed a guest.

"Lao Qin, your Canglan City has a 'Dawn' that beat the evil church into fleeing in panic, but ended up running to our city. We are already under a lot of pressure, and now we are even more exhausted... Lao Qin, we have been friends for so many years, you have to help me this time no matter what!"

Night Watch headquarters, Qin Fang's office.

A middle-aged man sat on the sofa, mumbling to himself with an angry expression.

Qin Fang smiled helplessly and said gently, "Okay, drink some water first and talk slowly."

He poured a cup of tea for the other person, who drank it angrily, then put the cup on the table with a bang, saying harshly, "These bastards, you don't know how cruel they are! They were sneaking around before, but now they are doing it openly... Just the day before yesterday, overnight, all the people on a street in our city suffered. All the men were killed, and all the women and children were missing. When we received the call and rushed over, we didn't see a single person, and several colleagues in the district were all killed tragically!"

His eyes were red. "That's 30,000 people! These bastards should be cut into pieces! The whole city is in turmoil now. If I hadn't acted decisively and killed several groups of evil believers who had been caught earlier, temporarily suppressing public opinion, I don't know how chaotic it would be now!"

"This time, the Abyss is determined to create a big event. Other cities are already busy, but Canglan is in the best situation... No matter what, you have to help me!"

Just over ten days ago, Canglan City was one of the most chaotic cities. But after that turmoil was resolved, the evil church disappeared in Canglan City, as if it had disappeared overnight. Now Canglan City has become one of the most stable cities in the country.

Hearing the man's words, Qin Fang frowned slightly, and finally said: "How do you want me to help?"

"Don't you have the contact information of Zhang San? Please help me find them and ask them to come to our place! ... I can pay for it at most!"

The man said harshly.

“…”

Qin Fang paused for a moment after hearing this, and then said after thinking for a while: "I can help you contact Zhang San, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

"It's okay, it's okay. Just help me contact him and I'll talk to him."

The man said quickly.

Qin Fang nodded. There was no reason for him to refuse, so he took out his phone immediately.

soon.

"Xiaotong? Come to my office."

He contacted Jiang Yetong.

And Jiang Yetong arrived soon.

"Director Zhang?"

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Yetong saw a man with red eyes sitting on the sofa. He was stunned for a moment and spoke in surprise.

Of course he knew the other person... The other person was the director of the night watchman in Kaiyuan City, next to Canglan City.

Although the Night Watchmen usually guard one city, sometimes they still need to cooperate with each other when they encounter special tasks, and people in neighboring cities generally know each other.

"Xiaotong...long time no see."

Although Mayor Zhang was in a bad mood, he still forced a smile and greeted Jiang Yetong when he saw her.

Jiang Yetong was a little confused as to why Director Zhang was here, but he didn't ask much. After nodding and exchanging a few words, he looked at Qin Fang.

"Uncle Qin, are you looking for me?"

"I'm not the one looking for you. It's Director Zhang who wants to contact Dawn... Although I have Zhang San's contact information, his phone has been turned off. I haven't been able to contact him these past few days. I guess only Qin Jinnian can contact him. Haven't you been in contact with Qin Jinnian? Can you help Director Zhang contact him?"

Qin Fang shook his head and said gently.

"Contact Zhang San?" Jiang Yetong looked confused.

"Didn't Zhang San defeat Zhenkong, Yexue and Zhongyan last time? But now it seems that they have all fled to Kaiyuan City. And now they are acting more and more crazy. Director Zhang wants to ask the people from Dawn to go over and help."

Qin Fang briefly introduced the situation.

Jiang Yetong looked at Director Zhang in surprise... Let Poxiao go over to help?

"Xiaotong, thank you for your help."

Director Zhang also looked at Jiang Yetong.

Jiang Yetong came back to his senses, exhaled lightly and nodded: "I understand, I will contact Qin Jinnian."

After saying that, she called Qin Jinnian in front of Qin Fang and Director Zhang.

soon.

Qin Jinnian's voice, mixed with some messy and noisy sounds, came from the phone.

"Qin Jinnian, please help me contact Zhang San. I need to talk to him about something."

"Um... should we contact Brother Zhang? Can I ask what's going on?"

Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment and then asked in confusion.

"Good, there's a deal to discuss with him."

Jiang Yetong thought for a while and said.

"trade?"

Qin Jinnian in the school cafeteria showed a hint of surprise... Could it be the deal that Qin Fang mentioned last time? Counting the time, seven or eight days have passed, and it's about time to give an answer.

"Okay, I understand. I'll try to contact Brother Zhang...but I'm not sure what his reply will be."

"OK."

After Jiang Yetong finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Qin Jinnian looked at his phone and after thinking for a while, his clone who was killing monsters in the ruins disappeared directly on the spot.

Qin Jinnian, who was still in the cafeteria and surrounded by many students, left on the pretext of going to the toilet. He came to the toilet cubicle and summoned his clone again. Then the clone merged into the shadows.

When he appeared again, he was already outside the school, rushing home.

He took Zhang San's mobile phone and SIM card at home and left.

It was not until more than half an hour later that he appeared on a rooftop far away from home, installed the SIM card, turned on the phone, and then called Jiang Yetong.

The call was connected quickly.

"Director Jiang, do you need me for something?"

Qin Jinnian spoke, imitating Zhang San's somewhat cynical tone.

"Well, someone wants to negotiate a deal with you guys, Dawn."

Jiang Yetong's straightforward words made Qin Jinnian stunned for a moment.

Soon, a strange male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am Zhang Wenyuan, the night watchman of Kaiyuan City. I have something that I would like to ask your help."

Kaiyuan City?

Qin Jinnian was stunned for a moment.

This is a neighboring city. Although he has never been there, he has at least studied geography, so he has heard of it.

"Hello, hello... I don't know, what's going on?"

Qin Jinnian asked curiously.

"It's like this..."

Immediately, the man named Zhang Wenyuan gave a brief account of the situation on the phone.

After hearing this, Qin Jinnian was a little confused.

...The Night Watchman of Kaiyuan City, please go to Kaiyuan City at dawn and hunt down the evil church?

this……

Qin Jinnian had never thought that such a development would happen, and was a little confused for a moment.

After a long time, Zhang Wenyuan's voice was still ringing: "Of course, this is not free. Mr. Zhang, please feel free to ask for anything you want. We will definitely satisfy you if we can... These people are evil and will do anything to teach them a lesson. All their requests will be granted!"

Zhang Wenyuan was sincere and his tone sounded angry.

This made Qin Jinnian a little hesitant.

Of course he is willing to fight against the evil church.

But Kaiyuan City, although it is called a neighbor, is actually thousands of kilometers away from Canglan City... The distance is too far. Even if he can fly, it will probably take several hours.

During this period, his main focus was on upgrading...

After all, the deal Qin Fang proposed could only be scheduled after his status was upgraded. If he were to deal with the evil church in Kaiyuan City at this time, the upgrade would be delayed to some extent.

But think again...

"The evil church in Kaiyuan City should... also have superpowers, right?"

Qin Jinnian is now looking forward to facing a super-powered enemy.

After all, every superpower is a hidden fragment of authority. After the status is upgraded, these superpower fragments can be put to great use... Even if they are not fresh fragments of authority, they are still ownerless cores.

Considering the deal Qin Fang proposed, he would need a lot of trusted people to make plans in the future, so the more super energy cores, the better...

There are not many super-powered people in the first place. Qin Jinnian knows that he cannot kill innocent super-powered people for no reason just for the super-powered core... He is not a murderer.

Therefore, the evil church actually became his most ideal source of super power core.

...This kind of person is so treacherous that he won't show any mercy no matter how many people he kills.

So, hunting down the evil church is not a problem.

The problem is... the only person he can dispatch now is Zhang San.

Although he now has four clones, only 'Shadow Control' possesses overwhelming combat power. If he wants to actually hunt down those evil cultists, he basically has to send out 'Zhang San' to achieve the desired effect.

But if Zhang San went to Kaiyuan City, his actions in Canglan City would be forced to stop.

After all, it is impossible for Zhang San to appear in two cities thousands of kilometers apart at the same time, right?

He could still explain it in Canglan City. After all, it was such a small area. Everyone knew that Zhang San could fly, so it was not surprising that he could rush to any place in a short time.

But if 'Zhang San' went to Kaiyuan City, and then Zhang San's shadow superpower appeared in the ruins in Canglan City, it would be difficult to explain.

Another reason for his hesitation was... If Zhang Wenyuan asked Poxiao to help, but it was Zhang San who went, this in itself would easily arouse suspicion... Is there no one left in Poxiao? Why does Zhang San have to step in for everything?

Once people have similar confusion, then the "bench depth" of Dawn will definitely be questioned.

But this is what Qin Jinnian doesn't want to see.

If you want to maintain enough mystery, then the "bench depth" must be unpredictable.

But now he can only play high-end games with Shadow Control, and this position is occupied by 'Zhang San'... He can't use the 'bench' at all...

Qin Jinnian hesitated for a moment, and Zhang Wenyuan waited for a long time without seeing Zhang San's answer, and became anxious: "Mr. Zhang, please believe that we are very sincere. No matter what you ask, we can accept it... The evil church is now close to madness and has begun to act blatantly. Up to now, 30,000 to 40,000 people have died. We have cracked down on it, but the effect is minimal. We can only knock out some insignificant fanatics. If this trend cannot be stopped, I don’t know how many innocent people will die next... I really have no other choice, so I came to you. Please help us in Kaiyuan City!"

Zhang Wenyuan was very humble. As the director of a city's night watch, he was also a regional leader. If he had not had no other choice, he probably would not have talked to Qin Jinnian like this.

Qin Jinnian let out a sigh, thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I won't help. I'm happy to help fight the evil church. It's just that I'm busy and can't get away for the time being, so I have to ask the organization if there are other people willing to go... But most of them have other things on hand, so they may have to finish their own things first... If it's too urgent for you, I can't help. But if it's not too urgent..."

"How long do we have to wait?"

Zhang Wenyuan asked quickly.

"Probably about ten days or half a month." Qin Jinnian thought for a while and said.

Ten days or half a month? Hearing this, Zhang Wenyuan was shocked: "Will it definitely be there?"

"In fifteen days, they will be almost there... Even if they can't, I can finish the things I have on hand and go there by then."

Qin Jinnian thought for a moment and said.

"If it's just fifteen days, then we can wait!"

Zhang Wenyuan said happily.

Then he quickly asked: "Well, what are your conditions?"

"This... let's talk about it when the time comes."

Qin Jinnian thought for a moment and said, "After all, we are still not sure who will go. I don't know what their requirements are."

"Okay, okay, then, I'll wait for Mr. Zhang's good news."

Zhang Wenyuan let out a long breath.

Qin Jinnian smiled and said a few more words to the other party before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Jinnian clapped his hands twice with his phone...

Fifteen days, that's about it... I should be able to raise my vitality to the limit, right? But I don't know if the shadow points are enough...

He frowned, let out a breath, turned and left.

It seems like things have suddenly become more and more complicated.

But the prerequisite for all this is that he quickly elevates his status to the level of 'divine consciousness'.

We have to hold on tight.
