Yesterday, he could clearly sense that Tan Ying’s body was in a special state of overdraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This condition gave her excellent vitality and complexion, but over time the consequences might not be favorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these inconspicuous traps were indeed his doing, Fu Qian did not mind paying a price to deal with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a problem: what if it wasn’t him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian didn’t recall any special contact with Tan Ying, not to mention she had acquired the bracelet after her birthday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it wasn’t him, then could it have been someone else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or could it be that the world naturally harbored these strange items, and that they had gone undiscovered because no one else had become a Transcendent like him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contemplating these possibilities led to intriguing thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would need to keep an eye out for similar items in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he should try not to acquire them through purchase if possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it felt good to intimidate Tan Ying, losing money hit the wallet hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he made up his mind, Fu Qian began to feel warmer; the duration of the Discoloration Curse had come to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian did not hesitate and immediately grabbed the bracelet, activating the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Identity verification complete, today’s work begins]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning, containment breach]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered the warehouse, the familiar voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian was not surprised by this and casually placed the bracelet on a nearby table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dim light, it emitted a clear, ghostly glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone lion had vanished in an instant after entering the warehouse last time;

the exterior walls were uniformly painted in blue and white, appearing fresh and tranquil under the afterglow of the setting sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Fu Qian noticed that he seemed to be the only person who had gotten off the bus, and it had promptly driven away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current mission updated, enter the town]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this even a mission?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the prompt in his mind, Fu Qian couldn’t help but feel puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t make it this easy, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was thinking, Fu Qian caught sight of a burly man in a trench coat out of the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter was staring straight at him and quickly walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Chief Harry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer approached and initiated a greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What brings you to Byeluk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After introducing himself, Chief Harry sized up Fu Qian from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’re not welcoming to newcomers, are they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian remembered the introduction from just before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vacation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the man in front of him looked as strong as an ox, he was clearly just an ordinary person, posing no threat to Fu Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vacation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Harry repeated the word with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I need to check your identification documents.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they always this strict?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian felt in his pocket and handed over a card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry received it, first looking at the information on it, then checking it over twice, finally relaxing his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, friend, I’m just making sure you’re not a Transcendent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning the card to Fu Qian, a faint smile squeezed onto his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making sure I’m not a Transcendent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian was taken aback by these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his first time encountering such a custom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t welcome Transcendents here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Harry’s expression showed it was obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Byeluk doesn’t welcome supers, this is an absolute Transcendent-free residential area!
