The girl appears to be the daughter of one of the fallen soldiers.

"I'll find an opportunity to train a girl later," Bai Xiu muttered to himself.

The girl's father sacrificed himself for the town.

Therefore, it is only right that they take good care of their children.

Then, Bai Xiu turned his gaze to his biggest gain this time.

"extract!"

Wow!

With a flash of white light, a giant egg that almost reached the ceiling appeared on his bed, pressing the soft mattress into an exaggerated shape.

Blue ice crystals, like blooming flowers, condensed and dispersed beside the egg, making the air in the room fresh and slightly cool.

System information also appears at this time.

Rockbird Egg

Description: Rockbirds that nest only on celestial rocks, and only lay one egg per year, making them a very rare resource.

Quality: Level 2 foreign object, safe for direct consumption.

Upon seeing the message, Bai Xiu's breath hitched. He then immediately stepped forward and carefully drew the curtains, making sure everything was in order before relaxing.

"Is this egg a Level 2 foreign object?"

Bai Xiu was surprised.

Foreign objects are valuable resources for human survival and cultivation.

Level 2 foreign objects are not common even in Grey River City.

Each excavation was taken by people of high status and position.

Given the current scarcity of human resources, the value of this egg even surpasses that of most people's lives.

[Can be processed into nutrient solution for players free of charge]

"Thank you for processing!"

The next second, the egg on the bed disappeared, replaced by two packets of blue nutrient solution.

Bai Xiu held it in his hand with relish.

It feels cool to the touch and has a unique fragrance. The liquid inside the bag slides like a slushie, making it look like a work of art.

Bai Xiu took a sip out of curiosity.

hum!

The moment it entered his mouth, Bai Xiu's expression changed slightly. A cool sensation spread outwards from his abdomen, eventually reaching his brain.

Wow, my brain is working so fast!

A look of surprise flashed in Bai Xiu's eyes.

At this moment, Bai Xiu felt as if his brain was being placed in ice water.

My mind began to clear, becoming more fluid than ever before, and I began to gain new understanding of everything.

"Does the purpose of rockbird eggs increase comprehension?"

Not daring to waste a single moment, Bai Xiu immediately began practicing the basic body-refining method uniformly issued by the Firefly Division.

call……

The basic body-refining method consists of ten steps, and Bai Xiu started with the most basic horse stance.

A set was completed very quickly.

He had been practicing the basic body-refining method for two years. He made rapid progress in the early stages, but later reached a bottleneck and his cultivation level stagnated.

Bai Xiu is now experiencing the same rapid progress as before, or even faster.

A set that takes ten minutes to complete is equivalent to the results of a whole day's work.

I drank a whole packet of nutritional fluid in one go, and not only did I not feel tired, I even felt more refreshed.

He simply gave up on sleeping and, while his mind was clear, began to practice desperately.

And so, the coolness in Bai Xiu's body did not disappear until the next morning.

call……

Bai Xiu took a light breath, and then suddenly threw a punch forward.

boom!

The fist squeaked as it cut through the air, and a crisp sound came from every bone in the body.

The curtain was still some distance from Bai Xiu's fist when it suddenly shattered with a crack.

Whoosh!

After the punch, Bai Xiu felt his body getting hot, and his blood was flowing non-stop.

"We're almost there! We've reached the critical point of the Marrow Cleansing Realm!" Bai Xiu exclaimed with joy.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a Level 2 foreign object.

The flow of blood and the cracking of bones are signs that one is close to reaching the marrow cleansing stage.

It will take at least two or three days.

In other words, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a full member of the Firefly Division.

"A weapon from another spirit, a residency quota, and even a small light talisman for family members..." Bai Xiu laughed.

As a formal member, he was considered a figure of importance in Gray River City. At least for thugs like the Black Dragon Gang, he was someone they needed to curry favor with.

Getting a permanent position is not easy.

To become a temporary staff member, one needs to study at Firefly Academy for four years, with an annual tuition fee of 100,000.

In order to maintain his condition after graduation, he still needs to invest 100,000 yuan every year to maintain his body, all in order to break through the marrow cleansing one day.

Originally, Bai Xiu, like other temporary staff of the Firefly Division, didn't know how many years it would take to break through, and perhaps he would be stuck here for life.

But through the sandbox, he broke through the first barrier on the path of cultivation.

A level that has stumped countless people.

Bai Xiu glanced at the Sandbox Town again.

The town is relatively quiet now. Its mutation will continue for some time, and it's unknown what new changes will occur.

"I need to go to work first, and then I need to change the curtains."

Thanks to the sacrifice of the curtains, sunlight has begun to stream through the window.

His sister opened the shop earlier than he started work and had already left, leaving Bai Xiu alone in the house.

After putting on the Firefly Division's uniform, Bai Xiu opened the special door to his house, and fresh air flowed in from outside.

Since most monsters hate sunlight, the outside was bustling in the early morning.

Shops along the street opened their doors, and people who had been cooped up all night came out to get some fresh air and buy groceries.

"Here are two extra steamed buns for you, to help you recover. They're free." The breakfast shop owner was very hospitable, and the freshly steamed buns were piping hot.

"No need," Bai Xiu declined.

"No, everyone in the Firefly Division works so hard, protecting our city every day. You're a good person." The proprietress smiled kindly.

Bai Xiu's expression turned strange after hearing this.

Is he a good person?

"Boss lady, how many steamed buns do you sell each day?"

"Hmm?" the proprietress asked, puzzled.

"fine."

Bai Xiu tried his best to endure it.

Keep that tired joke in your heart: "Auntie, I've killed more people than you sell steamed buns every day."

This was the first time he had been called a good person.

The proprietress must be a Buddhist.

Bai Xiu found it amusing and headed to his workplace.

At the entrance of the Firefly Bureau, Bai Xiu nodded to the guards and walked straight in.

The Firefly Division has two floors, and only Team Four, where Bai Xiu works, is located here.

Originally, the Firefly Division was all in the same building, but a tragedy occurred six months ago.

One of the officers on duty was unfortunately possessed by a monster, causing great harm to the entire Firefly Division.

For safety reasons, each squad became independent from then on.

Many small light symbols were pasted around the smooth corridor.

Places that have been in constant contact with monsters will retain demonic energy and are therefore the most heavily guarded.

The four teams totaled only about twenty people, and the two-story building was spacious enough.

Bai Xiu went straight into his office on the second floor.

"Good morning!" Bai Xiu greeted his colleagues with a standard smile. One of them was Wang Shi, and the other was a senior colleague named Chen Yi.

As soon as he entered, Wang Shi immediately went to his side and whispered, "Have you heard? Something happened to Team 6 yesterday."

"Hmm?" Bai Xiu had been practicing all day and hadn't checked the group messages.

Wang Shi said with an unnatural expression, "Yesterday, Team 6 encountered a human-faced bee while out collecting materials. What's most terrifying is that the face of that bee was the mother of Team 6's captain, who disappeared a month ago."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiu's heart stirred slightly.

God hidden.

A phenomenon unique to Grey River City.

The bodies of the deceased will vanish into thin air, and when they reappear, they will be human-faced bees in the valley.

However, Bai Xiu also saw human-faced bees in Sandbox Town, so he knew that this mysterious phenomenon was likely not limited to Grey River City.

"Speaking of which, didn't the Lighthouse send anyone to investigate?" Bai Xiu asked, somewhat puzzled.

The human-faced wasp has existed in the wild for many years, causing numerous casualties in Grey River City.

Uncle Chen, who was older than the others, spoke up, saying, "Why wasn't there an investigation? Even a minister got involved, but there were no results."

"As for more powerful experts, according to the eighteenth principle of the Lighthouse, the principle of long-term exploration, we should avoid investing too much in mysterious phenomena that have not yet caused serious damage."

Chen Yi was also somewhat helpless, saying, "Of course, the more important point is that the nest of the human-faced bees is built in another dimension of the void, which humans cannot set foot in. No one knows where the source of the nest leads."

Wang Shi shuddered and said fearfully, "They say the hives of the human-faced bees lead to hell... otherwise, how could the dead crawl out of them?"

Bai Xiu's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.

He just happened to have a beehive in his mind.

I studied it for a long time yesterday, but the beehive didn't move at all.

Even now, he still doesn't understand what the Hive skill is.

Perhaps a trip to a beehive in the wild will reveal some new developments.

However, after hearing the conversation between Wang Shi and the other person, Bai Xiu became even more cautious.

What exactly is this mysterious beehive?

Could it be... that the other side of the Hive really leads to hell?

Humans cannot learn the original innate skills of the human-faced bee.

But through mutation, he broke this impossibility, and no one can predict what kind of chemical reaction will occur.

It was only then that Bai Xiu realized just how outrageous the mutations offered by the Sandbox Town were.

"Ling Ling"

Just then, the work bell rang.

After chatting with Wang Shi for a few more minutes, Bai Xiu sat down in front of the computer.

After instinctively glancing at the sandbox, he was suddenly stunned; the town was completely different now.

The town originally had only a dozen or so ordinary wooden houses, but now a three-story light blue building has appeared in the center of the town, which looks quite exquisite.

The town's residents walking on the streets were wearing white armor.

In particular, there was a patrol team on the street, whose leader was carrying a huge axe.

"Has it changed that much?" Bai Xiu felt a bit curious and focused his attention on the central building.

The sign read: "Rockbird Tavern"

"There's a tavern? And the Rockbird Tavern?" Bai Xiu was surprised to see that the tavern was about 200 square meters in size, and many residents were sitting at the tables drinking.

The bar owner recognized her immediately; she was a little girl with short white hair.
