Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

Du Can took it and examined it carefully.

The thought bonds emitted a faint fluorescence on the slide, as if they had their own life.

Thought patterns are essentially similar to Western magic markings, the difference being that magic markings connect to their respective magic base plates, while thought patterns connect to a unified thought plate.

These are all research results passed down through generations of magicians; they are living databases.

Du Can focused his mind and sensed the key pattern, capturing an extremely illusory concept, like a dream bubble that would burst at the slightest touch.

That was the concept of a "panacea" that Huang Renjie had barely managed to create by selling fake medicine, deceiving people, and piling up collective ideology over many years.

It is more deceptive than a reflection in water; the concept will vanish as soon as someone exposes its lies.

Du Can couldn't understand what Huang Renjie was after doing all this.

Du Can shook his head, put the slide away, and said to Wang Wei, who was wiping his sweat, "Wei, my task is complete. This person is now in your hands."

Wang Wei immediately became excited: "Thank you, Brother Du! Would you like to stay for dinner before you leave?"

"No, thank you." Du Can waved his hand. "I need to go back and hand in my mission as soon as possible so I can take on the next job sooner."

He glanced at Huang Renjie, who was still unconscious on the operating table, and added, "Just don't kill anyone."

Wang Wei nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I just want him to taste what his own fake medicine tastes like, and make him drink all the fake medicine he made."

Du Can's lips twitched, and without saying anything more, he turned and left.

Chapter 24 Mission Handover

After saying goodbye to Wang Wei, Du Can sat on the train on his way back and dialed Ye Sizhen's number.

"Hello, it's me. The task you gave me is complete, and the thought key has been successfully retrieved."

Ye Sizhen's slightly delighted voice came from the other end of the phone: "Congratulations. How about I throw you a celebration party?"

"No need," Du Can said. "Next time, give me a real solo mission. I don't want to team up with anyone again. Especially since my teammates aren't very good, I almost ended up being their babysitter."

Ye Sizhen asked in confusion, "This is a solo mission for you, a beginner mission to get you used to it, and it's not very difficult. What happened on your end?"

Du Can frowned: "A solo mission? What's Wang Wei here for?"

“Xiao Wang is just your guide, not your teammate.” Ye Sizhen’s tone became wary. “What’s wrong? Did he do anything unnecessary?”

Du Can truthfully stated, "He treated me to trips and meals, and even asked me to cover for him and assist him in apprehending his target."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, then Ye Sizhen's voice carried a hint of annoyance: "Is Xiao Wang trying to use a meal as an excuse to get you to do his work and then steal your credit? No... he doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"Let me ask you something," Du Can said, "was some of the information about Huang Renjie provided by Wang Wei?"

"Most of them were collected by members of the Spiral Pavilion, but he did provide some as well."

“That makes sense,” Du Can said. “From what I’ve observed, Wang Wei and Huang Renjie have a personal grudge, probably related to their professions. One sells genuine medicine, the other sells counterfeit medicine; they’re like oil and water. He wants to take revenge himself, to have a ‘fated showdown,’ but he’s not entirely confident, so he wants someone to cover for him. If he succeeds, everything will be fine; if he fails, someone will take the fall. As for credit, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would want credit, and Spiral Pavilion will definitely investigate afterwards; he has no reason to do something so foolish.”

After listening, Ye Sizhen's tone softened a bit: "That's really reckless. He actually dragged his personal grudges into the mission. If this mission goes wrong, I'll definitely teach him a lesson. But... although he had a procedural problem this time, thankfully nothing unexpected happened, so let's let him off this time."

“I think it’s a good idea.” Du Can smiled. “That kid treated me to a meal beforehand, so he’s a decent guy.”

"You can't judge a magician by his appearance," Ye Sizhen cautioned. "Many magicians who look honest on the outside are actually quite ruthless on the inside."

She paused, then asked, "You got the thought key back, but what about Huang Renjie? Did you kill him or let him go?"

“Huang Renjie selling fake medicine is indeed hateful, but it's not enough for me to kill him personally,” Du Can said. “I handed him over to Wang Wei. As for whether Wang Wei will kill him… I don’t know.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Sizhen remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Alright. Come to the Spiral Pavilion after you return, and I'll settle your payment for this mission and arrange your next mission as well."

"it is good."

Du Can hung up the phone, leaned back in his seat, and watched the scenery rushing past the train window as it smoothly drove into the distance.

……

One day later.

Inside the Spiral Pavilion, at the end of the quaint corridor is a bright office.

Ye Sizhen sat behind the mahogany table, took the glass slide handed to her by Du Can, and examined it carefully against the light.

The tiny key to thought trembled slightly within the glass, like a segment of a living god sealed here after experiencing countless vicissitudes.

"What one person, or even countless people, accumulates throughout their entire lives is reduced to just this small piece," Ye Sizhen sighed softly. "It's more important than the magician's own life. I wonder what would happen to Huang Renjie without it."

Du Can leaned back in his chair, unconcerned: "You guys are taking thought patterns too seriously. To me, it doesn't seem to have any impact."

Ye Sizhen looked up at him.

These words would be arrogant coming from anyone else, but coming from Du Can... she actually found them somewhat reasonable.

This first generation, whose ancestors had never produced any magicians and whose awakening was purely accidental, actually possessed hundreds of magic circuits; and his use of magic was even more incomprehensible. Rather than a magician, he was more like a god-like warrior who manipulated the energy of fire and plants.

“Not everyone can be like you,” Ye Sizhen carefully put the slide into a brocade box, “You can surpass a lifetime of accumulation with just a casual move.”

Du Can said earnestly, "I feel that I am still very weak and need to continue to work hard."

Ye Sizhen rolled her eyes. Your current strength has completely surpassed the realm of humanity, how much more do you want to improve?

Du Can truly believed that.

He was just an ordinary Dou Shi in Dou Qi Continent and a common Soul Venerable in Douluo Continent. In those two worlds, he was a nobody at the bottom of the food chain and not worth mentioning at all.

However, in this world, his unarmed combat ability is slightly stronger than that of those magicians who are physically weak and are no different from ordinary people without the need for enhanced magic.

After several encounters, he had roughly figured out the situation: if a magician doesn't use enhancement magic, his physique is no different from that of an ordinary person.

After using enhancement magic, depending on the user's skill level, their combat power can be increased to the level of Battle Qi or even close to that of a Battle Master.

After Ye Sizhen's enhancement, she would probably have a hand-to-hand combat ability close to that of a Dou Zhe, while Huang Renjie's desperate kick would at most only reach the third level of Dou Qi.

In terms of physical constitution alone, he has far surpassed most modern magicians.

But magicians have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves, and they come up with all sorts of amazing ways to win against all odds. Ye Sizhen’s eyeshadow magic and puppets, and Huang Renjie’s hidden trick in the square, may not hurt him, but they are enough to cause him trouble.

It's best to become stronger, strong enough to fear nothing. Of course, it's okay if you're not strong; you can always just give up.

Ye Sizhen snapped out of her thoughts and returned the topic to the mission: "You seem to be completely unharmed in this battle."

"Huang Renjie's strength is far inferior to that zombie from last time," Du Can said frankly. "I took care of it in one move."

Ye Sizhen nodded. This was originally a practice task for Du Can to familiarize himself with the process, and she knew what she was doing. "What reward do you want now that the mission is successfully completed?"

What is it?

"Completing tasks will earn you points." Ye Sizhen took out a thick booklet from the table and handed it over. "You can use your points to exchange for items, magic materials, magic costumes, and the like. Take a look and see if there's anything suitable."

Du Can opened the booklet. The pages were made of Xuan paper, and each item was accompanied by a beautiful hand-painted ink illustration, with descriptions written in small regular script next to it.

He turned the pages one by one, reading aloud: "Fierce Bone, Dragon Fang, Serpent Jade, Phoenix Feather, Ancient Bell..."

Some things he felt could enhance his strength, but the points required were ridiculously high, far exceeding his current mission points. And those he could afford were of little use to him.

After flipping through it once, Du Can closed the booklet and handed it back to Ye Sizhen: "Keep it for now, we'll talk about it when we've collected enough."

“It seems Mr. Du has very high standards.” Ye Sizhen took the booklet without surprise. “Alright, I’ll keep it for now. But let me remind you, some good stuff isn’t available every day, and other magicians are eyeing it.”

"understood."

Ye Sizhen put the booklet back on the bookshelf, turned around and asked him, "Do you want to rest for a few days, or do you want to look at the next task now?"

Du Can stood up and stretched his shoulders: "I haven't exerted myself much, let's continue."

“Coincidentally, there’s a task right now that’s perfect for you.” Ye Sizhen pulled a document out of the drawer and pushed it in front of him.

Chapter 25 New Mission: Borderline

In the space of the light sphere.

Doupo Du Can flipped through the mission information shared by Type-Moon Du Can, his tone showing some interest: "This mission I'm giving you is quite interesting, more difficult than the last one."

"That's right." Douluo Du Can sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands behind his head. "Last time I sent you to deal with that fake medicine dealer, his combat power was too weak. He couldn't even withstand one move from you."

Du Can of Type-Moon smiled and said, "After all, the magicians on my side rely entirely on magic for combat. If we don't let them use magic, they're no different from ordinary people."

Du Can nodded, then said with some emotion, "Speaking of which, I only got my hands on the Absorbing Palm technique by intercepting Xiao Yan's opportunity. It's useless against strong opponents, only good for bullying weaklings. But you seem to use it quite skillfully."

“When the Suction Palm technique is mastered to its peak, it can exert a suction force of a thousand pounds, directly drawing a person’s blood out of their body,” Du Can of Type-Moon explained. “Of course, it’s useless against those with exceptionally strong physiques, but magicians in this world generally have ordinary physiques, so the effect it produces is outstanding.”

Douluo Du Can's eyes lit up: "It sounds a bit like the Crane Control and Dragon Capture. After sharing it, I can modify it and use it too."

Type-Moon's Du Can pondered: "Speaking of which, some of the characteristics of the two of you have all become conceptual forms in my hands. I feel that we can try to fuse them into something pretty good."

Douluo Du Can recalled the last experiment and his lips twitched: "Like that fusion technique that made the Blue Silver Grass breathe fire last time? Not very practical."

Du Can from Doupo also shook his head: "Indeed. It has neither the enduring vitality of Blue Silver Grass nor the momentum of a raging wildfire. It's just a forest fire that lasts for a few seconds. It doesn't feel right."

Type-Moon's Du Can was not discouraged: "Then the fusion is still not good enough. If the fuel for the flames could be continuously absorbed from the earth and the sun by the Blue Silver Grass, the flames could never be extinguished."

Du Can from Doupo pondered for a moment: "Theoretically, it's possible to combine them, but in practice, it would be very difficult. Besides, what's the point of creating an eternal forest fire?"

“We’ll always find meaning in them,” Du Can of Type-Moon said casually. “There are no useless skills, only useless users.”

Douluo Du Can couldn't help but retort: ​​"I don't completely agree with that. Master Yu Xiaogang's martial soul skill is pretty useless."

Du Can of Type-Moon laughed: "The example of the master proves this point even more. If he were good enough, his martial soul should have been sublimated into a golden holy dragon long ago."

Douluo Du Can paused for a moment, then laughed: "That's right. Grandmaster also said that Blue Silver Grass is a completely useless martial soul, so why don't I, the holder of the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, think it's useless?"

Du Can of Type-Moon joked, "Put down your 'twin martial souls, innate full soul power' setting first."

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

……

Consciousness returns.

Du Can looked down at the documents in his hand, recalling Ye Sizhen's earlier instructions.

"This time, our target is Xiao Mufeng, male, thirty-four years old. He's not like that fake drug dealer from before. Xiao Mufeng was a top student at the Spiral Pavilion's Exploration Building, specializing in gunpowder magic. He has extensive practical experience and is definitely not easy to deal with. You must be careful."

Xiao Mufeng was once an outstanding student in the Gewu Building on the tenth floor of the Spiral Hall.

He later went on a business trip to the Middle East, and after returning, his personality changed drastically. He began to take revenge on society, killing countless people. His crimes were far more serious than those of the fake drug dealer.

According to an unnamed source, he was apparently shot in the Middle East by a mercenary and suffered serious injuries.

But this does not hinder his magical skills.
