I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

The third day of work ended in the evening.

Since using that contract, Lu Yuan's orders have increased dramatically.

The reward has changed from the original supply of basic materials and a few gold shields to Night Watchman Points.

However, Lu Yuan won't get many, because only perfect potions can be exchanged for Night Watchman points.

Based on Laurina's current output, she can get close to two points a day.

Lu Yuan could only express his envy.

Three rows of potion bottles were placed on the alchemy workshop's workbench, each with a label written by Laurinna.

Laurena was tidying up the equipment, moving very gently, wiping the mortar and measuring cup clean and putting them back in their original places.

Lu Yuan redeemed this set of professional equipment with points, and she seemed to cherish it very much.

Lu Yuan sat by the window, looking at the gray-white text at the edge of his field of vision.

[Pharmacology: +13…32/50]

[Herbal Medicine: +11…19/50]

After three days of intensive medicine-making, both of these skills have improved significantly.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan still cannot refine a perfect quality potion, and the experience gained from other quality potions has decreased significantly.

However, if this pace can be maintained, in about another week, both experience bars can be upgraded again.

Lu Yuan snapped out of his thoughts and glanced out the window.

It was already getting dark, and a few streetlights were on.

The night watchman who was supposed to fetch the medicine had not yet arrived.

As usual, someone would come to collect the refined potion every evening, along with a batch of new materials. Today, it's almost an hour late.

"Didn't you come to deliver the materials today?" Laurina's voice came from the workbench.

"not yet."

Laurinna didn't ask any more questions and continued to tidy up the equipment.

The alchemy workshop was quiet, with only the faint sounds of her wiping the instruments.

Just as the two were talking, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the alchemy workshop.

The voice was urgent, and then another voice rang out.

"Lu Yuan!"

It was the voice of the night watchman fetching medicine; Lu Yuan recognized it.

When the door opened, a night watchman in his early thirties stood there. He was usually slow and methodical when he came to collect the medicine, but today he was covered in sweat.

"Emergency mobilization." He was panting heavily. "A very important witness escaped from the Tower of Learning. Our people went to meet them, but they ran into another faction, and now a fight has broken out."

"What power?"

"I don't know, they're all men in black robes, but they're definitely not ordinary people..." He steadied his breathing. "The brothers will be tough to deal with!"

"Where?"

Blackstone Street.

Lu Yuan turned around, grabbed a revolver and spare ammunition, and then put the potion he had previously refined into his pocket.

Laurena stopped what she was doing and looked at him.

"Be careful, I'm going to prepare the first aid medication," she said calmly.

"it is good."

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out with the Night Watchman.

Blackstone Street is a narrow stone-paved road on the west side of the outer city, with low buildings lining both sides. During the day, it is a dry goods shop, and there are a few rental rooms nearby. After nightfall, it is basically deserted.

From afar, Lu Yuan could hear the commotion.

It was the sound of metal clashing.

After turning the corner of the third alley, Lu Yuan saw the scene.

Overturned dry goods boxes were scattered on the street, and a few lights in the distance illuminated a small section of the road.

The light was dim, casting everyone's shadows of varying lengths.

Four watchmen were positioned on either side of the street, their backs against the wall.

One of them was already injured; his left calf was simply bound with a strip of cloth, and blood seeped out, soaking most of his trouser leg.

An older watchman stood in front of him, holding a uniquely designed short shotgun with intricate patterns engraved on the barrel.

Opposite them were six men in black robes.

wrong.

Lu Yuan's gaze swept quickly across the figures in the firelight.

The black robe was very large, covering most of the body, making it impossible to see the specific outline.

But their movements are strange; they can suddenly burst into action, but then freeze in place, appearing completely disjointed.

One of the men in black robes was locked in combat with a Night's Watchman, whose short sword struck its shoulder, slicing open the robe and its contents.

There was no blood.

The wound was oozing a dark liquid mixed with tiny metal fragments.

Under the light, the layers of metal skeleton reflected light can be seen through the crack.

The black-robed man who had been slashed showed no reaction. He felt no pain, nor did he retreat.

He froze for a moment, then drew a short blade and stabbed at the Night's Watchman's waist.

The watchman dodged to the side, the tip of his blade grazing his uniform and lifting a layer of fabric.

On the other side, a black-robed man suddenly opened his sleeve, and a short crossbow bolt shot out from it.

It was extremely fast, almost without warning.

"Be careful!"

Before the warning had even faded, a crossbow bolt had already pierced the shoulder of a night watchman ahead.

The arrow has a very unique shape; the moment it pierces the shoulder, the head bursts open and remains firmly embedded in the muscle.

The watchman grunted, snapped the arrow shaft in his left hand, leaving the arrowhead embedded in his flesh, but his right hand continued wielding the knife.

But the black-robed figures had the advantage in numbers. Moreover, they were impervious to injury and pain, and even when cut down, they did not retreat, but mechanically continued their attack.

The night watchmen on site were clearly struggling to cope.

Most importantly, Lu Yuan only saw the figure of a squad leader.

Why is the escort team so rudimentary?

In the middle of the battlefield, right next to the corner of the wall, was a person crouching.

Wearing a dirty striped outfit, she was shivering and curled up in a ball. Her face and age were unclear.

He is a witness.

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over the huddled figure, and a line of grayish-white text appeared at the edge of his vision:

[Target of Detection: Residents of Bronze City (Knowledge Erosion)]

How can an ordinary human being set foot in the ocean of knowledge?

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, not having time to think it over, and turned his gaze back to the men in black robes.

Instantly, more gray and white text quietly appeared:

[Detection Target: Small Ascended One (Defective Product)]

[Characteristics: A creation stripped of most of its flesh and will, retaining only basic neural reflexes and the instinct to obey. It has almost completely lost its human reason, its behavior patterns are rigid, it lacks independent judgment, and it descends into chaos if its commander is killed.]

[Weakness: Eliminate the commander and destroy the core.]

Ascension Assembly.

A look of astonishment appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

Why are the Ascension Society members here too?

The Ascension Society is not listed in the power map of Bronze City.

Moreover, their creations are not popular and cannot be easily mobilized; each one represents a significant investment of resources from the Ascension Society.

Sending out six unfamiliar models indicates that the other side is determined to obtain that witness.

But what would they want someone who escaped from the Tower of Learning?

But there was no time to think about it at the scene.

"Watch out for the left!" the night watchman who was fetching the medicine shouted, drawing his mithril longsword and charging straight at the enemy.

At that moment, Lu Yuan also drew his revolver and joined the battle.

A minor Ascended raised his dagger at a wounded Night's Watchman, the movement without warning, and slashed down directly.

With a muffled thud, the night watchman responsible for fetching the medicine missed his target.

The blade tip scraped against the stone slab, creating a string of sparks.

The squad leader standing at the front had obviously noticed this as well.

His eyes instantly turned cold.

"Go all out! You are authorized to fire."
