I like this floor-to-ceiling window.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This must be about one hundred and eighty square meters? To buy such a place in the city center, your family must be well off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zeng Buping spoke, he sat down on the sofa and knocked on the coffee table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please get me a cup of coffee, with extra sugar, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the casually familiar Zeng Buping, Han Zhan could only pour him a cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sipping the steaming coffee, Zeng Buping finally let out a gentle sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do you want to ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Special Envoy Zeng, why did you come looking for me?\" Han Zhan repeated his question in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before you ask that, let me ask you, do you still remember the introduction to the identity of a Special Envoy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The introduction to the identity of a Special Envoy? Of course, he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this world, where there is light, there is shadow; where there is good, there is evil. Extreme evil or extreme good often depends on a single thought.

I smell a conspiracy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you are here to investigate today’s incident at the exchange?\" Han Zhan’s heart skipped a beat at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was here to investigate the exchange, then Han Zhan could completely hand over the information about Dream Demon Frog and use the official forces to his advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Han Zhan could voice his thoughts, Zeng Buping shook his head, dismissing the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, the incident at the exchange is not for me to investigate; it’s for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his words, Zeng Buping turned around, looking at Han Zhan standing behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Special Envoy Han, this is your jurisdiction. Any unusual events happening here and any conspiracies they might hide are all for you to clarify.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good gracious, after all that, it’s still my business?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then why did you come? To drink coffee?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan couldn’t help but internally retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Buping took out a thumb-sized U-disk from his pocket and tossed it to Han Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter caught it with quick reflexes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m here to test whether you have the qualifications to become a Special Envoy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This U-disk contains the specific content of your test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take it to the computer and check it out.

I suspect it contains the main storyline of the Slaughter Battlefield.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who had experienced many main storylines, Han Zhan wasn’t unfamiliar with this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The U-disk was inserted into the computer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Dragon Man Bob suddenly exclaimed, followed by a gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an enormous database. Have they included the entire archive of the Slaughter Battlefield?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And three pending events to analyze? These should be the issues you need to handle, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bob finished speaking, a new window automatically popped up on the computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a folder, with three tasks Zeng Buping had prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Analyze events, dissect deeply, find the clues, and ascertain the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are the abilities a Special Envoy must possess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Han Zhan was indeed good at combat, he was not a perfect person and had to admit there was still a gap in his investigative ability compared to real professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To filter the information needed from such a massive data flow, identify those with logical contradictions, and deduce the truth of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just Han Zhan alone, it would really be challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That easy?\" Little Dragon Man Bob’s voice resounded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These tasks are way too easy. Obviously, number 36 is the criminal, right? With just a hundred suspects, isn’t it easy to identify the culprit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this task, even simpler, this unusual event has a more than 84.375% overlap with the timeline events a hundred and ten years ago, fifty-seven years ago, and thirty-two years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy, easy—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bob deliberately extended his voice in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan looked at the computer where the three difficult tasks had been solved in just a few minutes, completing the thoughts he had wanted to say earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had Bob, this bug-level Intelligent Mechanical Life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can the human brain and a smart brain even be compared in the same league?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan shook his head, pulled out the U-disk, and pushed the door open to walk out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the living room, Zeng Buping was still drinking coffee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The freshly brewed coffee was a bit too hot, so he drank it slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just a few sips, he saw Han Zhan walking out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Buping’s face showed a naturally expected smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, this U-disk was a special \"ceremony\" after becoming a Special Envoy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>where the senior Special Envoy would select three exceptionally difficult unusual events to give the junior a bit of investigative shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is both a ceremony and a handover, and a tradition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All solved?\" Zeng Buping put down his cup and asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, all solved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not expected to be solved, in fact, these three unusual events are very hard for our Specia...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zeng Buping stopped mid-sentence suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He jerked his head up, looking at Han Zhan standing there. \"What did you just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Special Envoy Zeng, the three unusual events in the U-disk you gave me, I’ve already solved them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was the sound of Zeng Buping’s leg hitting the table corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is this possible?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-10T05:31:13.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","72bd228d9c2d09877bf430e7a001e0f7e635368266025dc9bcddcb96b2f6149d","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-341","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-339",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
