After returning the advanced countermeasures vest to Yu Kuangtu, Ren Suo went to the Countermeasures Bureau.
Originally, Ren Suo wanted to say hello to Qiao Muyi, but she was not in the Countermeasures Bureau.
"We are not as idle as you." In the deputy director's office, Li Dan sat in Yu Kuangtu's seat with his eyes drooping, staring at the computer. He didn't even look at Ren Suo when he came in. When he heard Ren Suo asking about Qiao Muyi, he complained casually.
With his ability to "see through the world", he can detect any movement within ten meters around him just by peripheral vision and sound.
"What a great authority, sir!"
Ren Suo sat down with a smile, and found that Li Dan's dark circles seemed to have expanded again, and the color had deepened, almost like eye shadow: "How long has it been since you last rested?"
Although Li Dan couldn't sleep, he had no problem closing his eyes for a shallow rest and relaxation, so his dark circles were kept within a reasonable range.
"It's been about seven or eight days." Li Dan held his forehead and said, "'The Ghost Walker', the red-armored weirdo, and that big shot... What do you want from me?"
"I'll update the information." Ren Suo said, "I was promoted to the second rank two days ago."
Li Dan was not too surprised and glanced at Ren Suo: "Let's see how powerful he is."
Ren Suo used all his strength to operate "Xuan Jun Secret Records", and the cyclonic shock caused a spiritual energy shock. Li Dan yawned, and the same shock broke out in his body, directly covering Ren Suo's momentum.
"Yes, there is indeed a second transformation. There is no need to test it separately. I will update the information for you in the name of the Countermeasures Bureau... By tonight, the spells you can purchase at the French Open should also be updated."
At this time, Ren Suo stretched out his right hand: "Come and shake hands."
Li Dan didn't understand what was going on, so he shook hands with him. Then Ren Suo fell silent and said, "You're almost going to be promoted too?"
"Data Stream" was activated, and Li Dan's current cultivation progress was "Turn 2 88%". No wonder Ren Suo's cyclone shrunk - just like a freshman facing a senior, it was normal for him to be completely defeated in terms of both textbook knowledge and dirty jokes.
"It's stuck, it's slow work." Li Dan looked at the display screen, his eyes narrowed into a line: "These days I have so much work that I have to work 24 hours a day, and I don't have much time to practice..."
"Why don't you call Yu Kuangtu back?" Ren Suo asked.
"He asked for leave to be promoted. It is not reasonable for us to disturb him." Li Dan said, "Practice is the most important thing for us cultivators, and all important positions in the Countermeasures Bureau require sufficient strength to support them. In addition, there are few third-level cultivators in Lianjiang. Whether for the long-term or for the present, it is the wisest choice to promote him as soon as possible..."
Li Dan talked about the many benefits of letting Yu Kuangtu get promoted, and Ren Suo interrupted him with a confused look on his face: "But... Yu Kuangtu is already a third-level official now."
"What?" Li Dan was stunned.
"When he fought the red-armored monster that night, he was already at the third level. Didn't you know?"
"He didn't say."
"Didn't he come to you to report the information about the red-armored monster?"
"No, he just wrote the information about the red-armored monster in the format of the "Mysterious Phenomenon Countermeasures Report" and sent it to my email... Wait, how do you know that he fought with the red-armored monster?"
"Because I went to treat him that night."
Li Dan asked: "He was injured? How badly was he injured?"
"I just checked on him. He was eating braised pig's trotters at home." Ren Suo said, "Nothing serious. It seems he has to go out tonight... and pick up girls."
"Negative emotions from Li Dan, +233"
"He...didn't go to the hospital?" Li Dan asked through gritting his teeth.
"He would rather faint than go to the hospital. I told him to go to the hospital for a checkup, but he still didn't want to go." Ren Suo said, "I don't know why. Is he trying to show off in front of the girl?"
"Of course he doesn't want to go. He is a member of the countermeasures team, and all medical records will be directly summarized into the countermeasures system." Li Dan gritted his teeth and said, "If he is admitted to the hospital, we will definitely know the news and visit him as soon as possible..."
"Then he won't be able to hide the news of his promotion and won't be able to continue his vacation!"
"Men are all pigs!"
"Don't tell Yu Kuangtu that I told you." Ren Suo quickly slipped away.
Ren Suo went to Animation Star City to restock his supplies, and went back to Jianji Noodle Shop to eat a bowl of beef brisket fried sauce noodles. He felt that the taste was still authentic. When he got home, it was already evening, and he immediately entered the French Open.
The French Open seemed to have been updated many times in the past two months, with business hours expanded to 7am to 11am. Of course, the redemption system was improved and the redemption threshold was raised, so Ren Suo had to go to the Countermeasures Bureau to update his cultivation information.
My consciousness sank into the magical starry sky. Suddenly, a dozen of the gray and silent stars of various colors bloomed with gorgeous halos, and then returned to silence in an instant, leaving only flickering outlines, as if saying, "Come and play, sir."
This part of the stars is the new spell that Ren Suo can directly purchase with spirit stones after he is promoted to the second level. In addition, the "Speed Step" and "Ghost Speed Step" that Li Dan applied for him are also among them. Ren Suo immediately spent 750 spirit stones to exchange them, instantly using up half of his spirit stone reserves.
The current French Open is different from the beginning. At the beginning, the French Open was "as long as the spell is on the shelf, you can buy it if you have spirit stones", but now there is a threshold. Not only do you have to reach a certain level of cultivation, but you also have to have a certain status to buy it.
Before there were no spirit stones, you could buy spells at will as long as you had spirit stones. Now that there are spirit stones, the threshold is higher, and you are required to do this and that to redeem...
The people who made the rules for the French Open are really cunning, Ren Suo thought, and looked at what spells he could exchange now.
Because those who can enter the French Open are basically monks with international records, there is a second-level spell that anyone can redeem - "Gauze Dress".
And because Ren Suo is a non-staff member of the Countermeasures Bureau, he can also exchange for "Finger Lock" and "Healing".
These three are popular spells, mainly for self-protection, with low damage, and no other redemption threshold except for cultivation. "Gauze Clothes" is an advanced version of "Clothes", which can not only block most physical damage, but also consumes less spiritual energy. However, because it requires higher quality spiritual energy, it can only be learned by second-level cultivators.
The "Finger Lock" is an advanced version of the "Lock". It can not only lock most of the same-level or lower-level monks and ordinary people by touch, but also the "Finger Lock" can directly penetrate the opponent's spiritual armor that protects themselves, such as fire armor, invisible armor, gauze armor, etc., through the "disordered spiritual energy". It is almost a spell that all members of the Countermeasures Bureau must learn.
There is naturally nothing much to say about "treatment".
And because Ren Suo's monk tags include 'Level 2 Researcher' and 'Healing Awakener' in addition to 'Second Transfer' and 'Countermeasures', he can also learn some non-lethal spells, such as 'Turning Fossils into Mud', 'Turning Mud into Stone', 'Concrete Manufacturing', 'Material Transformation', etc.
Ren Suo naturally had no interest in this type of infrastructure spells, but there were some spells that were just right for his current identity.
The second-level spell "Surgical Thread" uses spiritual energy to directly mend wounds and connect broken limbs. It is more effective when combined with healing spells.
The third-level spell "Pain Relief Therapy" further enhances the treatment effect and suppresses the pain nerves in the injured area, causing the injured to secrete dopamine and other substances, making the treatment process easy and enjoyable.
Although Ren Suo is now a healing monk of Tianlian Academy, that is because Tianlian Academy is unable to recruit people, so Yu Kuangtu was able to squeeze him in.
Now, with the world's spiritual energy upgraded and "Late Night Ghost" healing people's hearts, and as the country's cultivation policy is further rolled out, the number of cultivators will increase dramatically. It is hard to say whether Ren Suo can still maintain this idle and lucrative job at that time.
Of course, the job of treatment was not that difficult, and the academy would most likely not replace Ren Suo. But it would be better to improve one's own irreplaceability and competitiveness than to pin one's hopes on the academy's mercy.
Ren Suo decisively bought "Surgical Thread" and "Pain Relief", and the remaining spirit stones were only enough to buy a second-level spell - third-level spells were very expensive, and "Ghost Sprint" and "Pain Relief" accounted for most of his spending.
But Ren Suo had nothing to complain about. If the country had not made great efforts to train monks, he would never have been able to buy these spells so easily.
Lingshi has no value and cannot be circulated. It is just a credit certificate issued by the state to individuals.
Ren Suo had no idea how much effort it took to create a spell from scratch, from the first version to the final perfect version without any changes. But no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for him to get it by simply writing a few papers.
The prices of first-level and second-level spells are not high, which is why some countries want monks to try various spells as much as possible and find a spell system that suits them.
But the third-turn spells are much more expensive: the first-turn spells are 50 spirit stones on average, the second-turn spells are 100 spirit stones on average, and the third-turn spells directly jump to a minimum of 500 spirit stones.
The most crucial thing, of course, is that Ren Suo has access to the country's training platform. Otherwise, no matter how capable he is, he won't be able to get any spell information - the magic network spells are transmitted directly to the brain and can only be understood but not expressed in words.
Ren Suo's eyes wandered between the stars of "Finger Lock" and "Gauze Dress", and finally chose "Gauze Dress".
He didn't have much attack power at the moment, so of course he chose all the life-saving abilities. Moreover, he had learned "Clothes" well. As an advanced version of "Gauze Clothes", Ren Suo was confident that he could master this spell by himself and the "Hat of Seeking the Way and Correction" without the help of a game console.
What, the "Hat of Seeking the Way and Correction" is something that belongs to the game console? Aren't things in the game console also Ren Suo's things? Then Ren Suo's things are Ren Suo's things!
In fact, there are many second-level spells with high lethality, such as "Heart-Destroying Palm", "Invisible Sword Qi", "Fireball", etc., but with Ren Suo's current "monk label", he is not qualified to purchase them at all unless he changes his job to become a combat monk.
After the purchase was completed, a warm current flowed into Ren Suo's body from the Fawang Instrument. After being promoted to the second level, Ren Suo finally felt that the Fawang Instrument, which looked like a square crystal, was actually a base point for the transmission of spiritual energy!
When he purchased the spell, he actually let the magic network instrument send out information, allowing the magic network center to package the knowledge, wrap it with spiritual magic, and transmit it accurately to the base point. Then the spiritual magic will be activated and the knowledge will be directly transmitted to the mind of the purchaser.
Ren Suo had never seen this kind of magic before, but it must be of a high grade.
Moreover, this supply system must have a source of spiritual energy to maintain consumption. Even if long-distance spiritual energy transmission does not consume much, the step of "packaging with magic" means that there must be monks involved.
Ren Suo thought about the scene: In the spiritual energy center room, a bunch of monks were packing spells for shipment...
"I shouldn't be that stupid..." Ren Suo thought.
"Perhaps, there are cultivators who can separate part of their spirit and turn it into an AI-like will. This will be enough to meet the shipping needs of cultivators in the entire Xuan Kingdom. But this kind of 'distraction' spell must be of extremely high grade. There are not many people in the entire Xuan Kingdom who can cast it, right?"
"But even if there is a cultivator who can 'distract' him, he still has to spend a lot of spiritual energy to cast the packing spell, and he has to stay in the spiritual energy center all the time... Would such a strong man be willing to do this kind of work all the time and constantly consume his active spiritual energy? Is he thinking that his cultivation is too high?"
Ren Suo shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking, and decided to practice magic all night to get started. He planned to use the small world game console to master "Surgical Thread", "Pain Relief", "Speed Step", and "Ghost Speech", and he planned to rely on himself to master "Gauze Dress".
Before practicing, Ren Suo opened "High Energy Ahead" and found that the explorer had actually stopped searching.
I looked at the most recent message and it was:
"The flower withered (Energy +3)."
