There was nothing to say about the quest log besides [Kill the Human-Faced Cat] and [Kill the Possessive Ghost]. It could be checked when undertaking quests in the future.
In the shop interface, only the shop shelves could be accessed currently. There was a total of 20 items on the shelves, which were refreshed daily. However, these prices…
[Sith Samurai Force Lightsaber], [Red Skeleton Long-Handled Halberd], [Asakusa 12th-Floor Evil-Dispersing Amulet], [Griffin Heavy Breastplate], [Gaussian Pistol], [Secondary Alchemist Staff], [Middle-Grade Recovery Potion], [Wired Royal Floating Cannon]…
Out of these 20 items, the cheapest one required 2,000 Game Credits, which was not something new players could afford.
Li Ang looked at the shop shelves and couldn’t help but sigh.
He was not sighing because of the price but because if these pieces of equipment could be analyzed and studied, that would be of great significance to the State Apparatus.
The State Apparatus could obtain many technologies from a Sith Lightsaber, including super batteries, plasma confinement devices, and portable strong magnetic field generators. Apart from those things, it could lead the country’s overall scientific research and development in a general direction.
The Gaussian Pistol on the technology side, the Floating Cannon, and the Alchemist’s Staff on the magical side would each cause unprecedented innovation in the field of human research.
“If the country has established an official player team, then they should be running around the world at the moment to trigger quests and earn Game Credits.”
Li Ang pondered this and said, “Moreover, since these pieces of equipment can appear on the shop shelves, that also means that players may be exposed to similar extraordinary items during the quest. They might even be a step nearer and come into contact or even enter those alternate worlds…”
After thinking for a while, Li Ang shook his head and shifted his attention to the backpack bar, where an ordinary wooden chest made of only old wooden boards and rivets was.
A bird in hand was worth ten birds in the forest.
“Is this chest the reward for completing the quest?”
Li Ang silently smiled and clicked on the wooden chest anxiously.
Then, a white light appeared and the chest opened. Inside it was a… ladies’ purse?
[Name: Gucci Zumi Dark Green Grain Leather Ladies’ Purse]
[Category: Luxury Good]
[Grade: Normal]
[Effects: None]
[Equipment Requirements: None]
[Remarks: Italian creation, low-key, luxurious, and elegant. The sweat, grease, and perfume of mature women on it show that the original owner of the wallet was a wealthy woman in her fifties.]
Li Ang took a deep breath and checked the purse back and forth in the inventory. After a few minutes of trying, he finally concluded that this was really the Gucci wallet of a wealthy fifty-year-old woman.
“Remarkable…”
Li Ang’s expression turned ugly. There were seven or eight bank cards in the purse, including domestic bank cards such as Visa and MasterCard.
In addition, the purse contained facial tissues, a cosmetic bag, a dozen different kinds of condoms, and sheets of red notes that totaled to an estimated 10,000 yuan.
Li Ang said with a sigh, “Nobody can imagine the happiness of a wealthy woman…”
He did not intend to use the bank cards or pawn the luxury purse. The best choice would be to take the cash and burn all other things to completely eliminate the possibility of being exposed.
“10,000 in cash!”
He had become wealthy all of a sudden. Li Ang, who was in a cheerful mood, smiled brightly at the English teacher on the lectern, causing him to tremble and start pausing during the lecture.
In the evening, most of the students on the campus had already returned home, but the underground parking lot was still brightly lit.
The police car pulled up to the cordon outside the parking lot, but the policemen were standing outside the cordon, looking like they had nothing to do.
In the parking lot, a group of big men in black suits and sunglasses was divided into two groups. A group of people was taking photos and collecting on-site materials just like criminal investigators.
The other group operated some kind of instruments like mine detectors and wandered back and forth between vehicles with broken windows just like engineers.
Suddenly, a man in black shouted, “Chief, we’ve detected the psionic response! The intensity is Level 1, and the category is possessive spirit. Based on the degree of psionic dispersion, at least 5 hours have passed since it was eliminated.”
“As expected.”
The middle-aged man known as the chief had graying temples and a dignified look. He nodded and turned to ask the male assistant beside him, “Has all the surveillance here been cut off?”
“Yes, it has all been cut off,” the assistant said. “The man’s countersurveillance skills were very professional. He cleaned up the scene very well, so there were no useful photos taken. Most of the remaining traces on the scene have been completely wiped off. Even some vehicle dash cams have been removed and destroyed.”
“Okay,” the middle-aged man said indifferently. “Is the possessed teacher awake?”
“He has woken up and is lying in a special ward for questioning.” The assistant shook his head and said with a sigh, “He naturally has no memory of the period he was possessed by the spirit. After the spirit was destroyed, he fainted and could not provide information about the spirit killer.
“As for the emergency call made by the spirit killer to the hospital, the audio was recorded. However, he did a very professional pseudo-voice so we could not find a specific individual.”
The middle-aged man was almost expressionless. “It seems that he’s an experienced person.”
The assistant hesitated for a moment and said, “Section Chief, shall we conduct a secret investigation on the staff and students of the entire school?”
“We could, but it’s not necessary.”
The Section Chief shook his head and added, “First of all, this will inadvertently alert him. Second, the player who killed the spirit has a relatively low level, so it is not worth investing a lot of resources in the current situation.”
“Once again, in terms of his overall behavior, he still belongs to the neutral-order camp so an oppressive investigation would most likely force him back. Lastly, we don’t know whether this player is undertaking a routine quest or a scripted quest.
“It’s okay if it’s a routine quest. However, if it’s a scripted quest, the player who killed the spirit might come from any part of the country or the world.
“Right now, the anomaly in Qianhua Road is becoming more and more serious and may develop into a mobile natural disaster at any time. That place is far more important than this place. ”
“So…” the assistant said hesitantly. “Archive the file?”
“Archive the file,” the Section Chief said with a nod. “If the person who killed the spirit is a staff member or a student of this school, it won’t be too late to come back and investigate this after we deal with Qianhua Road’s paradox.”
