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

Veteran (really can't think of a name): Uses eerie bait, is impulsive, behaves normally, observes the eerie creature moving around them, shows no respect or fear... determines safety. Note: Excellent personal qualities, recommended for captain level or above.

...

Klaus examined the three envelopes in front of him one by one.

He smiled and shook his head.

"It seems that Lu Yuan is indeed a talented person."

"Your evaluations are all very high... I hereby announce that the identification operation against Lu Yuan will be reduced to the minimum. After we confirm with the official website, I will report back to headquarters truthfully."

"Yeah, remember to get more points for Lu Yuan. It's really tough for him carrying that thing."

Upon hearing this, Glock made a joke.

"Yeah... I wonder what he's carrying on his shoulders..."

Inside the Alchemy Workshop.

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand.

Bohr sat down at the table, holding a glass of water in his hand.

"By the way, were any of the people who went down with us injured or infected?"

Lu Yuan looked at Boer and asked.

"Our men are fine. I told them to keep to their distance. However, in addition to the ones in the water collection room, the Holy Armored Army has two minor injuries. One of them has a corroded shoulder armor, and Heinrich has already arranged for treatment."

"The Iron Guard Battalion is in a better position overall; it's just that some of its resources have been severely depleted."

Bor hesitated for a moment, then added a sentence.

"But Wolf is not quite right."

"What's wrong?"

"He's not feeling well, and his body temperature is a bit high, but I'm not sure if it's due to some other cause."

"However, I noticed that his steps were a bit unsteady when he walked."

Lu Yuan kept it in mind and did not ask any further questions.

"Alright, you should get some rest now." Bor stood up.

"The pipeline issue has been temporarily resolved, and hopefully things will be peaceful for a while."

He walked to the door and glanced back at Lu Yuan.

"Really get some rest. Don't stay up all night again."

"understood."

The door closed.

The sound of footsteps faded away down the corridor.

Lu Yuan sat for a while, but his head was still spinning.

Some inappropriate images kept appearing.

Lu Yuan knew he was in a bad state, so he picked up the sedative potion that Bor had given him.

[Detection Target: Specially Prepared Sanity Stabilizing Potion (Church Version)]

[A special potion created by blending high-grade holy water from the church with special medicinal ingredients. It has a powerful effect on stabilizing sanity and restores sanity appropriately according to your body's condition...]

After reading the gray text description, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow with interest, then tilted his head back and swallowed it directly.

As the slightly warm and bitter medicine entered my stomach, a warm current gradually emerged.

You felt the light... You experienced peace... Sanity: +24... 68/120

[You will continue to regain your sanity over the next period of time... +1...]

A sense of clarity welled up in my heart, instantly dispelling the scene before my eyes.

The incredibly high number made Lu Yuan look suspicious.

Is this what you call not much recovery?

24?

Is it restored based on a percentage?

Lu Yuan felt the clarity lingering in his mind, thinking that the effects of the potion could last for a while longer.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan got up and left the alchemy workshop.

The sun outside was already high in the sky, close to noon.

The cloying sweet smell that had lingered over Beifang for so long finally dissipated.

Instead, there was a dry smell of copper powder and alchemical liquid mixed together.

At the entrance of the Alchemy Workshop, two night watchmen were on guard duty, holding silver-plated short spray guns. When they saw Lu Yuan come out, they slightly stepped aside to make way for him.

Lu Yuan walked along the street toward the position, and the changes along the way were far greater than he had expected.

Several streetlights that had been turned off a few days ago have come back on, their light pale in the midday sun, but they are indeed shining.

Further on, several craftsmen in gray overalls squatted beside the roadbed, and an old man was instructing them to gradually repair the eroded and rotten copper ground.

Two transport wagons were parked nearby, piled with bundles of copper bars, pre-made copper plates, and several boxes of sealed liquid bearing the Alchemist's mark.

The other carriage was equipped with a cast iron frame and a thickened manhole cover.

A watchman was overseeing the unloading, checking each box against a list.

The street was packed with people.

Watchmen, craftsmen, porters, and even a few low-ranking monks dressed in the church's grey-white robes were setting up purification runes in front of a damaged building on the street corner.

The North Textile District is undergoing large-scale, organized reconstruction.

It seems Klaus acted faster than expected.

Lu Yuan continued walking forward.

The atmosphere changed noticeably as we approached the position.

An additional ring of sentry posts was added around the perimeter, with two men at each post, equipped with silver-plated short guns and copper powder canisters.

Lu Yuan didn't recognize most of these faces, so he figured they must have been temporarily conscripted.

A Night Watchman wearing a squad leader's badge saw Lu Yuan and quickly came to greet him.

"Captain Lu? What brings you out here? Glock instructed before he left that the defenses on this side of the position have been redeployed."

"How many people were conscripted?"

"Two squads of sixteen men each, plus the original personnel, are more than enough to provide basic defense here."

The squad leader glanced in the direction of the position.

"In addition, the branch also coordinated a group of inscription apprentices to come over, specifically to be responsible for repairing the transmission channels and foundation inscriptions. There's quite a lot of work to be done."

Lu Yuan nodded.

"Where is the Holy Armor Army?"

"Heinrich and his men guarded the shaft entrance, and they're still there to this day," the squad leader continued.

"The Iron Guard Battalion is also here, but they're not in good condition; most of them are resting."

"I just took some medicine and can't sleep right now, so I came out to check on things."

"Okay, feel free to call me anytime if you have any questions."

After saying that, the squad leader turned and left.

Lu Yuan didn't say much and continued walking into the position.

The layout around the shaft opening has indeed changed.

What was originally just a copper powder ring and a few pieces of gravel holding down a cast iron cover plate, now has an additional reinforced structure supported by an iron frame, with a Holy Armored Army soldier standing in each of the four directions.

The holy light inscriptions on the silver-white armor maintained a faint glow.

Heinrich stood directly opposite the shaft entrance, arms crossed, his gaze sweeping over everyone who approached.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he nodded slightly.

Lu Yuan walked to the side of the shaft.

The mycelium in the gaps of the cover was completely dry and crumbled into powder at the slightest touch.

The discoloration of the copper powder ring did not continue to expand.

The veteran, missing his little finger, was squatting nearby cleaning up the remaining mycelial debris when he saw Lu Yuan approaching.

"Captain, aren't you going to rest? All the mycelium here is completely dried up, just like the shaft that was breached before."

"Let's not rest for now, let's come and take a look."

"I couldn't sleep either, so I came to help."

"That's very thoughtful."

Lu Yuan gave a brief explanation.

Heinrich then spoke up:

"If you have any sanity issues, or feel unwell in any other way, feel free to contact me anytime. The Holy Armor Army has brought quite a lot of things this time."

"Yes."

Lu Yuan nodded and continued walking forward.

The drain opening on the east side that had been forced open has been resealed. The inscriptionist's apprentice covered the opening with a precast copper plate and coated it with a sealant layer of alchemical paint.

Two simple pressed inscriptions are engraved above the coating, and a faint blue-white light flows across the copper surface.

On the foundation next to it, the gray-green filaments that had spread over a large area were falling off, revealing the copper underneath.

As Lu Yuan passed the western side of the position, he saw Wolf.

He sat alone at the base of a low wall, his back against the wall, his hands resting on his knees.

Other Iron Guard soldiers were scattered nearby, some leaning against the wall with their eyes closed, resting, while others were wiping their short swords.

The dark red lines on the backs of their hands and necks had mostly faded, leaving only faint traces.

But Wolff is different.

His posture didn't look like he was resting; it looked more like he was enduring something.

Lu Yuan didn't slow down, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye as he passed by.

Wolf's hand, resting on his knee, had dark red lines that hadn't faded like those of the other Iron Guard soldiers.

It's actually deeper than last night.

The color of the pattern changed from dark red to a deep, almost dark purple, as if it had seeped into the skin and was no longer on the surface.

[Detection Target: Wolf (Supernatural Believer) (Microinfection)]

[A human being who believes in the furnace of purity, but something tiny is parasitizing within him... The furnace fire is being devoured, how pitiful.]

Lu Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the prompt.

"Wolf, did you get hurt down there?"

Wolf's body trembled slightly before calming down. He opened his eyes, looked at Lu Yuan in front of him, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"This is an old ailment of mine, I'm not injured, but Lu Yuan, don't you need to rest?"

"Not for now, my method brings more rationality."

"I see. I need to continue tempering the furnace fire. We'll talk about it later."

Wolf gave an embarrassed smile, then lowered his head and continued to drift into a strange state.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, but turned and walked towards the alchemy workshop.

As Lu Yuan walked back to the alchemy workshop, he noticed a paper package at the entrance.

It was tied with a thick hemp rope.

He bent down, picked it up, went inside, and untied the ribbon.

Inside was a set of gray-white church robes, folded very neatly.

There was a note under the robe, with neat handwriting.

"Tomorrow night, the clock tower will chime for the second time at the east gate of the Old Parliament Square."

No signature.

But Lu Yuan knew it was Agnes.

Lu Yuan folded the note and stuffed it into his pocket.

Then wrap the inner robe back up and put it in the table drawer.

Tomorrow night.

The target is the third tower of the Tower of Knowledge, in Laureina's laboratory.

Close the drawer.

Now let's deal with another thing, which is that crystal.

Lu Yuan made sure the door was closed, then opened his bag and pulled out the sampling bottle from the bottom.

The faint light of gray-green and dark gold shone through the glass, flickering in my palm.

The pulsation frequency was slightly slower than inside the dome.

Lu Yuan placed the sampling bottle on the table and stared at it intently.

[Target detected: ? (Consciousness crystal...extremely dangerous...dormant...)]

[A large amount of confusion was detected... Insufficient knowledge to analyze...]

There were a few more words, but we still couldn't figure out anything from the hints.

But one thing is certain: this thing is not a source of pollution.

Lu Yuan did not rush to make a move.
