Chapter 262 Hunting Team
The Kingdom of Put, Upper Igwynt.
In the early morning, in the apartment building on Nanyanghua Road, Gregor woke up slowly from his sleep. Then he sat on the bed, looking at his hands, recalling what happened in his dream at night.
"Thanks to the help of Mr. James and the others, my spiritual power increased a lot last night. If I keep going like this, I will be able to accumulate the spiritual power to full in no time."
Gregor thought this in his heart. In the past two months or so, he would go to the dream world every day to hunt dream world creatures and absorb their spirituality in preparation for upgrading.
In the beginning, when he was alone, he could only catch some small dream creatures like rabbits and mice, and the speed of accumulating spiritual energy was very slow. Fortunately, he had the help of colleagues later, and they were able to hunt slightly larger dream creatures together. After that, the speed increased a lot.
"Let's keep working hard... The sooner we accumulate enough points, the sooner we can get promoted to the General Administration... I want to see Dorothy again sooner. I'm a little worried about her being alone in Tivian..."
Thinking this in his mind, Gregor started to get up, and after changing his clothes, he walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room. After washing up in the bathroom, he went to the door and brought in the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Hake downstairs. After putting it on the coffee table, he began to eat alone.
While eating sandwiches and grilled sausages, Greg looked around the spacious living room and his eyes turned to a closed door on the wall of the living room. It was Dorothy's room.
"I've been alone lately..."
Gregor thought so in his heart, looking at the empty room, recalling the days when he and his sister had breakfast together, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely. This room was originally rented for two people, and now it seemed a little too empty with only him living in it.
Greg looked relaxed as he ate his breakfast leisurely. The backlog of work in the bureau was gradually being processed, and nothing major had happened. In addition, the Holy Communion Society, which was the source of turmoil in the secret world of Igwinter, had been destroyed. Therefore, he had been living a very relaxed life in recent times.
Greg hasn't worked overtime for three weeks in a row, and even when he was at work, there wasn't much to do. Compared to the day and night overtime life in the past period of time, this relaxed life even made Greg a little difficult to adapt to for a while.
"When Dorothy was here, there were so many things to do that I had to work overtime all day and didn't have much time to spend with her. Now that I can relax, she's gone again. What a pity."
With such a sigh in his heart, Gregor finished his breakfast, packed up simply, opened the door and left home, then walked down the stairs to the downstairs of the apartment building, and then walked along the way to work as usual.
Soon, Greg arrived at the Cypress Building, entered the lobby, and then came to Ada at the front desk and greeted her.
"Hey, Ms. Ida, good morning."
"Oh... Good morning Greg, it happens that James has something to talk to you about. You can go to his office later when you go downstairs." The elderly Ada handed the key to Greg, and Greg asked with some confusion after taking it.
"What does he want from me, Mr. James?"
"I don't know. It may have something to do with your promotion. At least you will know when you go there."
"Okay, thank you, Ms. Ada." Greg took the key from Ada, said thank you as usual, and walked away, entering the Igwinter Security Bureau under the Cypress Building through a secret door.
After arriving at the bureau, Greg said hello to a few colleagues and then walked towards James' office. When passing by James's large office, he waved and greeted the vine plant twisting behind the glass window, and the plant shook its leaves in response.
Arriving at James' office, Greg straightened his collar, then gently knocked on the office door. After hearing a response from behind the door, he pushed the door open and went in. After closing the door, he looked at James who was sitting behind the desk and said.
"Mr. James, what do you want from me?"
"It's about your promotion. Please sit down first." James answered. Following James' words, Greg sat opposite James. After looking at Greg, James asked again.
"Greg, how is your spiritual accumulation going now?"
"Not to mention the auxiliary spiritual energy that will be provided by the General Administration, my main spiritual energy, that is, 'Shadow', has almost accumulated more than half. The spiritual energy given by the wild boar last night is still quite a lot. If there are four or five more such dream creatures, I feel that my 'Shadow' will be full.
"If I had expected earlier that I would be able to get a promotion opportunity so soon, I would have started to focus on spiritual accumulation, and the situation would be better now."
Gregor responded like this. He became the captain of the Igwinter Hunters and an apprentice-level Beyonder for only about a year. He was so young and inexperienced. Theoretically, it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to advance to the Black Rank so quickly. In the security bureau system of the entire Putin, the Black Rank was already able to serve as the director of an ordinary city. There were many apprentice captains in their forties or fifties who had endured for decades but still had not made it.
So when Gregor was just promoted to an apprentice, he didn't even think about the next step of advancement. In his opinion, he would need to work for at least ten years to have a chance to advance, and he would have to have some experience and some small achievements. So he didn't really focus on spiritual accumulation. But who would have thought that this opportunity would come from nowhere, and he would suddenly have the opportunity to be promoted after only one year of work? This was something Gregor had never expected.
Since he never paid much attention to the accumulation of spiritual power in the past, he suddenly had the opportunity to be promoted but his spiritual power was insufficient. Although his spiritual power had been accumulated quickly with the help of the director and colleagues in the past two months, and after a physical hunt of a fairly strong dream creature last night, his main spiritual power had accumulated more than half, but it was still far from enough.
"Well... it is indeed difficult to accumulate so much spirituality in a short period of time. When I first got the opportunity to be promoted, I didn't have enough spirituality. It took me more than half a year to accumulate it with help from all sides.
"Large creatures in the Dream World are not that easy to find. For example, the wild boar we saw last night was not that easy to find. Some of us in our bureau don't often go to the Dream World, and we don't know much about it. It may be more difficult to find such a creature next time."
James said this to Greg, and after hearing what James said, Greg couldn't help but look solemn.
"That's right... There aren't many dream creatures that are just right for us to hunt like last night... Either they are too powerful for us to defeat, or they are too weak to be enough to fill our teeth... It's really troublesome to accumulate spiritual power in dreams. I wonder how long it will take for me to accumulate spiritual power."
Greg spoke slowly with a hint of worry, and then James spoke again.
"You don't have to worry too much. I can tell you that there is a special dream hunting team at the Tivian headquarters. They are familiar with the dream world and are very good at tracking and hunting dream world creatures. They are specially formed by the bureau to search for spirituality. Those who need to be promoted can hunt with them. With their professionalism, the speed of obtaining spirituality is much higher than ours."
"Dream World Hunting Team? There is such an organization in the headquarters?" Greg spoke curiously after listening to James' words, and James said with some surprise.
"Yes, after all, the mainstream Beyonders in our bureau are Beyonders of Shadow and Spirituality, so it is necessary to organize a hunting team specifically in the dream world.
"Many times, members of these hunting teams will go out individually to lead people from various bureaus who have the opportunity to be promoted to spiritual hunting, helping them accumulate spirituality, and right now I happen to have such an opportunity."
Having said that, James looked at Greg more seriously, and then continued speaking.
"Greg, I have already applied for an opportunity for you to follow the hunting team members to hunt spirits in the dream world. Now I have received a response. My application has been approved. In the next week, you can follow the hunting team members of the headquarters to hunt spirits in the dream world. If you are lucky, you may be able to obtain a lot of spirits in a week."
James said slowly. Listening to James' words, Greg's eyes lit up, and then he immediately spoke happily.
"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. James. I don't know how to repay you for your promotion!"
Gregor said with a moving tone that James had been a great help to him. It was he who reported Gregor's achievements to the headquarters, and it was also he who applied for the spiritual accumulation opportunity for Gregor. Gregor was full of gratitude to him.
"No need to thank me. It's my duty to select outstanding talents for the higher-ups..." James said as he took out a dream anchor seal from the drawer and handed it to Greg.
"This is the dream world coordinates of the next meeting of the dream world hunting team of the bureau. It is also the starting point of their next hunt. The meeting time is 10 o'clock tomorrow night. The code is 'Frontier'. At that time, the hunting team members of the General Bureau will bring the qualified candidates from various bureaus to hunt together. If you perform better, you will get more spirituality. Don't embarrass us, Igwinter."
