All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 340 A Tragic Birth
Company lobby.

"Sir, the skills our company currently offers are mainly of the [alien type] and [conventional type] categories."

"Everything will be done according to your needs."

The company's central building has a very spacious lobby of at least a thousand square meters, with only electronic screens around the perimeter. Each screen displays an introduction to one of the company's skills.

The four pillars in the lobby are four elevators that can take you directly to the private rooms upstairs.

Beside Ji Ran was an ordinary girl, dressed in a neat work uniform, smiling as she introduced the place.

These people are usually involved in spiritual events or are family members of pilgrims. They can only engage in pilgrim-related work after registering with the Special Operations Department. They are similar to the logistics personnel of the Special Operations Department, but they need to be reviewed by the Special Operations Department.

The company has two types of products. Ji Ran has seen the [Regular] type; the Special Operations Department can purchase and learn from it, or exchange it for merit points, at only 6% of the company's selling price. Even if this price isn't cost price, it's very close. This part of the skills is the focus of cooperation between the company and the Special Operations Department.

The standard skills mainly include power-generating techniques, spiritual amplitude enhancement, elemental spells, and minor supernatural abilities.

All conventional skills are developed in the form of "talismans." Mastering a talisman skill requires adjusting the talisman synchronization rate based on the user's movement characteristics. Essentially, each person has their own unique talisman, with no possibility of secondary transmission.

According to the Special Operations Department's information, these talismans are all interpretations of specific self-proclaimed entities.

Alien-type skills are the company's core product. Through surgical interventions, organs are added, physical attributes are improved, and special skills are acquired.

Among these products, those that are unique must be auctioned by the Spirit World Mutual Aid Association or Jia Chen District according to the agreement of the Special Operations Department. The company has priority in the auction.

[Photoreceptor cell implantation: 1000~2 Lingyun]

[Multiple Lung Transplant: 2000-4 Spiritual Essence]

[Dual Heart Transplantation of a Sub-Dragon: 1~15 Spirit Essence (Low chance of gaining dragon-type skills)]

[Spirit Bone Talent Transplant: 8 Spirit Essence (Gains a skill similar to the Taoist's Skinning) (Inventory: 4/16)]

……

Next to the dazzling array of alien-type skills is a vertical module for long-term acquisition: first-tier creature eyeballs, dragon hearts, dragon blood... and detailed rules for the evaluation and acquisition of corpses of various creatures.

No wonder the company has become an independent global organization of travelers. Its strong R&D capabilities bring a wide variety of enhancements. It can be said that some enhancements can greatly increase the survival rate of travelers in the early stages.

I hadn't tried this before, firstly because I haven't been a traveler for very long, and secondly because my progress has been too rapid, with each leap bringing about a qualitative leap. Each time I emerge, I'm too busy processing what I've learned from the previous world, let alone paying attention to anything else.

Ji Ran's gaze swept across the hall, but he did not see the same cause and effect as the warning insect.

It should be at a higher level.

drop--

At that moment, the elevator doors behind them opened, and a man wearing a gray hoodie walked out with a smile on his face.

"Hello."

He noticed Ji Ran's gaze, and a friendly smile appeared on his face as he said, "Welcome to the company. I am the person in charge here, Zhang Hanyu."

"Hello."

Ji Ran shook hands with him politely, but her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Zhang Han smiled and looked at Ji Ran, saying, "Young man, you look unfamiliar. I recognize some of the surrounding teams. Do you know which team you are?"

"Yashan Squad".

"Oh, wait, isn't this too formal? You just joined, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Captain Xie didn't even inform me. Our company is practically his subordinate organization."

“Deputy Captain Chen is also a regular, having undergone three different types of enhancement.”

Ji Ran nodded. Zhang Han and his so-called subordinate organizations were merely being polite. It was only because the company was located in the mountains and by the sea that it was ordered to expand its ecological zone, which required monitoring and control by the local teams.

As for Deputy Captain Chen, he was referring to dried tangerine peel.

Zhang Han laughed heartily, pointed to the surrounding electronic screens, and said, "We're all on the same side. These alien-type enhancements are a huge boost for early-stage travelers. Pick one, little brother, and I'll give you a 50% discount."

Zhang Han silently observed Ji Ran.

The newly joined traveler is at most a Level 1, or even just a proxy. However, Zhang Han sensed the surging power in Ji Ran's body and estimated that he was probably Level 1.

Now, under the suppression of the Life-Destroying Technique, spiritual energy is severely compressed. Ji Ran's physical body is also far superior to his; a near-level 7 physique is extremely rare in the real world, with very little dissipated blood and qi. Therefore, Zhang Hanyu cannot accurately perceive Ji Ran's strength. "This can be considered a benefit for our Yashan team."

Ji Ran smiled, glanced over, and then shook his head.

If I were an ordinary traveler, I would definitely choose one without hesitation. If I discover any problems with the company later, I could even buy it for free.

However, on Yingzhou Immortal Island, he had already honed his physical body to its limit. Unless it contained organs with third-tier characteristics, they would be of little use to him.

If a physical body that has been trained to 6.99 cannot help one break through to level 7, it will only deduct points.

"Oh?"

Zhang Han was clearly taken aback, not expecting Ji Ran to refuse. However, his expression changed quickly, and he laughed, "Haha, young brother, do you not think much of me?"

"Yes."

Zhang Hanyu: "..."

As the head of a branch office, Zhang Han considered himself to have seen all sorts of people. Even so, a single word from Ji Ran made him lose his composure.

His actions were quite ambitious; he wouldn't have done this if someone above him hadn't given him instructions, saying that the Yashan team had a special background.

A 50% discount on a single enhancement for a different type of creature can easily save tens of thousands of spirit essences! Nationwide, the company only offers this once to subordinates, children, and formally appointed squad members.

This is essentially a disguised way of giving gifts to curry favor with the Special Operations Department.

After all, it's common for generals who don't lack spiritual energy to have their descendants choose an exceptional body with tens of thousands of spiritual energy. That's equivalent to the company directly giving away tens of thousands of spiritual energy.

A few years ago at the Jia Chen Grand Auction, the young man from the Tang family in the capital won the bid for the [Chujiang Spirit Bone] worth a million spirit essences. Right in front of the Marshal, he shamelessly asked for a 50% discount. The company accepted it! However, it was later urgently revised that the 50% discount could not be used for auctions of this unique item.

He said he didn't like the company's biggest perk?

Zhang Han's eyes looked rather unpleasant, and his smile was somewhat stiff.

But who cares?
Ji Ran turned and walked towards the elevator, pressing the button for the second floor. Through the glass elevator, she could still see Zhang Han's cold face.

But Ji Ran's gaze remained calm, showing no remorse for what he had just said.

He wasn't someone lacking in emotional intelligence. In fact, he had quite good emotional intelligence. Ji Ran remembered that when he was a child, his grades in junior high and high school weren't good, but he was always chosen as the class monitor.

Even if he suspects the company and believes that there are wanderers spying on his family, Ji Ran will not react until everything is confirmed.

At least they wouldn't communicate with Zhang Han so awkwardly.

However, I saw something else.

hum-

The elevator began to ascend, and Ji Ran looked down at Zhang Hanyu from his elevated position. A crimson glint flickered like fire in his dark eyes.

The Heavenly Demon Sword embryo trembled.

The sins on the flying sword were exhausted when it slayed the horde of demons with a single strike. Now, however, it emitted a signal of hunger.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo sensed sin.

Sin is a more indistinguishable phenomenon than cause and effect.

Seven-colored threads swirled around Ji Ran's crimson eyes, yet she couldn't discern anything wrong with Zhang Han. For a traveler, sin is something mysterious and unseen. Similarly, the harm caused by sin is unstoppable.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Embryo's sense of smell is never wrong.

Zhang Han has a problem.

It seems there's an unexpected bonus. If enough sins can be reaped in reality, the power of the skill "Inheriting Sins" can be restored.

This flying sword technique, which transforms sins into karmic fire, is my only skill that can break through the dimensional reduction attack and directly threaten the third tier.

drop!
The elevator stopped, and Ji Ran stepped out. Zhang Han, who was downstairs, also clicked the elevator button, ready to follow.

Ji Ran did not leave, but waited, accompanying his prey.
