Arknights? Yesterday's Arknights!!

The room faces the sun, and it's morning.

She also had long, wavy blonde hair, but unlike An Xin's bright blonde, her hair was duller and more yellow.

Her thighs were encased in black over-the-knee stockings, and her upper body was dressed in a black fitted outfit paired with a functional jacket that was orange on the inside and black on the outside, topped with a beret bearing the police superintendent's insignia.

What attracted An Xin's attention the most was that beautiful face, which was almost identical to the one she had seen the day before yesterday.

Is that really a game?

For a moment, An Xin had doubts in her heart, and then secretly denied them.

That's just a game.

As he gazed at Swire, she was also gazing at him, but it was only for a fleeting moment before she lost all interest.

He's very handsome and has a great physique; he looks like he's trained in martial arts. I guess he passed the review.

Since An Xin's gaze was devoid of any emotion and was simply and openly fixed on her, it did not provoke any resentment in her.

"Oh, you're here to pick up your clothes? Wait a minute, tell me your size."

Chapter Eleven Gluttony

The Guard Bureau building stood under the blue sky. As the sunlight moved downwards, a blond, muscular young man stood at the entrance of the Guard Bureau, holding a police uniform.

Amidst envious glances, An Xin calmly left the Guard Bureau building.

"That's the only one accepted?"

"Alas, comparisons are odious."

"So, someone actually passed Inspector Chen's interview?"

"That's terrifying. I couldn't even speak to that Inspector Chen. How could someone pass the interview?"

The most amazed group were the veteran officers of the Guard Department, who were more aware of Inspector Chan's strict requirements.

There were nearly twenty interviewees today, but only An Xin passed the interview.

I heard that the young lady even made a bet with Sister Ghost: if anyone passes the interview, the young lady will treat the entire Imperial Guard to drinks tonight.

The salary of the Guard Bureau depends on the comparison. Compared with the internal salary of the Great Yan, it is not low. However, in Lungmen, a trading port, 20,000 Lungmen Dollars a month is a bit tight.

Therefore, it's quite a perk that the young lady can treat everyone to drinks.

Many veteran police officers had already developed a slight liking for An Xin even before they met him.

An Xin knew nothing about the comparison, but he did know about the welcome party that evening. When he was getting his police uniform, Swire told him about it and told him to make sure he went.

He returned to his rented room along the path, put his police uniform aside, and looked at the simple room.

Excluding the bathroom, it's less than ten square meters with a large window. Although it gets good sunlight, I guess it will be drafty in winter.

The room contained only a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a suitcase with a few clothes. The room was clean and spotless.

It's less of a studio apartment and more like a shipping container with a bathroom and kitchen.

In An Xin's memory, Huaxia only installed these prefabricated houses on construction sites as temporary residences.

There's nothing I can do, I'm broke.

An Xin counted his money and found that after deducting the money he spent in the game, he still had 23,212 Lungmen coins left. In Lungmen, where prices are high, if he didn't spend it carefully, he would probably only have enough for a month's accommodation and food.

He put the broken staff into his suitcase, took off his shirt, revealing his bandaged right arm.

Isn't there a quick treatment method?

The treatment for Oripathy also cannot be delayed; we must find a way to address it.

An Xin finished dressing, opened the store, and found that he still had 1,500 points left to spend.

That's a considerable sum.

It can upgrade a level 3 skill by one level.

However, none of his four skills are related to medicine.

You can only check it out in the online store.

Of the five items, the only one related to treatment, modern surgical medicine, costs 100,000 points, which An Xin cannot afford. The only item she can afford is level one gluttony, which only costs 300 points.

It's better than sitting still and waiting for death.

Take a gamble.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to see a doctor.

An Xin sighed and selected to purchase; the game system then displayed a blue screen.

My gaze lingered on the shop, skipping over the behemoth trial card, the scapegoat doll, and the completely unaffordable modern surgical medicine and world line restart, before finally settling on the Gluttony skill, which only had 300 points.

[Purchase skill level 1 Gluttony?]

[300 points have been used, leaving 1200 points remaining.]

【loading】

Note that the early stages won't provide much of a boost, so please level up as quickly as possible.

[Note: Sometimes, upgrades can bring unexpected surprises, so why not give it a try?]

An Xin frowned.

I simply clicked on the upgrade option.

He has now figured out the rules for skill upgrades: it takes 500 points to upgrade from level one to level two, and 1,500 points to upgrade from level three to level four. So, he will charge an extra 500 points for each level he upgrades.

This is only the early stage; it's unknown whether there will be any special requirements later on.

Otherwise, buying level 10 medicine would be a waste. If he already has level 1 medicine, upgrading it to the maximum level would only require 28,000 points, which is far less than 100,000.

An Xin shook his head. He had no idea what skills would be needed in the later stages; those were all just speculations. He decided to wait until the price was higher before deciding whether to buy or upgrade the skills.

Touching the plus sign next to the Gluttony skill brought up the game interface once again.

[Do you wish to spend 500 points to upgrade the Gluttony skill to level 2?]

[500 points consumed, 700 points remaining.]

Please note that leveling up includes both ability expansion and enhancement; one of these is randomly selected with each level up.

【update successed】

[Gluttony grants increased abilities]

[Level 2 Gluttony: Your appetite increases, and you develop a very large appetite. The food you eat can not only increase your health but also heal some injuries.]

[Note: Don't overeat and hurt yourself]

An Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

They guessed right again.

However, this time there was a system notification, and nobody knows if he will be so lucky again.

An Xin picked up the peach wood sword and the longsword, tied them to her waist, and then took out all her possessions.

This dilapidated house is really not safe.

She originally planned to move to the Guard Bureau dormitory, but the police officers share rooms in pairs, and An Xin is now too afraid to go there for fear of exposing her Oripathy.

An Xin went out and found a pork chop rice restaurant. She ate ten servings by herself and didn't feel full at all.

While eating, he could feel a warm current flowing through his right upper arm, which was treating him.

However, it doesn't seem to have any effect on Oripathy.

An Xin's heart sank.

You still need to see a doctor.

As evening fell, Miss Swire, who seemed quite wealthy, booked her banquet at a roadside food stall.

That's good, Anxin can eat as much as she wants now.

In the civilian district, less than two kilometers from the Guard Bureau building, there was a barbecue stall that had set up its stall. People were coming and going, and all of the dozen or so tables were occupied by Guard Bureau police officers. An Xin was pulled away by a group of people to drink.

He always accepted whatever was offered, eating and drinking as he went. He felt that after this meal, the injury on his right upper arm was at least half healed, but Swire would have to spend money.

Halfway through the meal, a tall woman walked over, leading a group of people.

"I'm late, I'm late! I'll punish myself with three boxes!" She was only half a head shorter than An Xin, at least 1.8 meters tall, and was wearing a motorcycle-style jacket and pants, paired with a pair of thick-heeled boots.

An Xin recognized her; she had given him a crucial clue in the game that helped him find Talulah.

Inspector Hoshiguma, everyone calls her Sister Ghost.

With a hearty laugh, she opened an ice-cold beer and chug it down, eliciting laughter from everyone.

"Sister Gui, this isn't self-punishment, you just want to drink!"

Laughter erupted again around the table, and even the usually stern-faced Inspector Chen couldn't help but smile.

Sister Ghost turned around and her eyes lit up when she saw the blond youth sitting in the corner.
