My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Once the energy expenditure exceeds this value, the energy is completely drained and cannot be restored naturally at all.

The moment Xia Zuo calculated these data, the message from the "golden finger" appeared in his mind.

"The system has detected that the host has accurately calculated his own attributes. The character template has been updated, and three new sub-entries related to [Spirit] have been added."

Oh?

Is it possible to unlock entries like this?

Is there another way to do this?

Can stamina be unlocked in the same way?

Xia Zuo suddenly realized that his cheat system was essentially letting him run wild.

The "golden finger" is more like a recorder, helping him record data and events, and incidentally making inferences based on the recorded data.

Experience rewards, attribute point rewards, and free attribute points given for leveling up may simply reflect the changes in the character, rather than actually providing these things...

Xia Zuo rubbed his temples, feeling that he had been thinking too abstractly, and couldn't quite explain what exactly a cheat system was...

He took a sip of water, calmed his mind, and continued memorizing.

...

11:30 PM.

After class, Xia Zuo approached Professor Angus to inquire about the exam.

The introductory course on weapons alchemy will only cover written material.

Xia Zuo wanted to get through this phase as soon as possible.

Professor Angus seemed to have learned of Xia Zuo's amazing memory from the head of the department.

He promised that as long as Xia Zuo felt ready, she could ask him for the exam paper before class and then take the exam in the designated classroom.

At the entrance of the university.

Xia Zuo stood in the shade of the tree waiting for An Ru'er.

A small, thin figure walked across the grass not far away, carrying a cloth bundle in his arms, lazily kicking the grass at his feet.

Isn't that Janice?

Xia Zuo raised an eyebrow. The other person was wearing an academic robe, his messy hair had been tidied up, and his face was much fairer after washing it.

“Janice?” Xia Zuo walked over and asked, using his detection spell to confirm that he hadn’t mistaken her for someone else.

"Oh~ Uncle Xia Zuo!"

Janice ran over and pulled a bright red apple from her cloth pocket. "Please have some fruit. Thank you for helping me apply to the academy for tests on my spiritual ocean and acquired affinity!"

"Haha, how's it going at the academy?" Xia Zuo squatted down to take the fruit and laughed.

"Fantastic!"

Janice stamped her feet excitedly, her smile exceptionally sweet. "This is simply the life I've always dreamed of."

"Xia Zuo." Anru'er walked over and asked the jubilant little girl:

"Is she... Janice? The little girl you mentioned to me the other day?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Xia Zuo stood up. “Janice, this is my fiancée, Anru.”

Hello, sister.

Janice reached into her pocket and pulled out another red apple. "Here, have some fruit. Hehe, sister, you're so pretty."

Anru bent down, took the red apple, and smiled, "You have such a sweet tongue. What kind of alchemy are you learning now?"

“Oil alchemy,” Janice said, looking up.

"What a coincidence, the first alchemy course I took after enrolling was also this..."

Anjou and Janice discussed the knowledge of oil alchemy.

Xia Zuo's gaze lingered on Janice's cloth bag for a moment before looking towards the teaching building of Yingrui Academy.

When he was still a member of the circus, he longed to become a sorcerer and deeply empathized with Janice's changing circumstances and inner joy.

Upon discovering that Janice had earth resistance and her spirit attribute value met the requirements, he decided that he would send her to the academy no matter what.

The ending was good.

Janice has entered Elite Academy.

As for whether she can become a mage apprentice in the future...

Xia Zuo shook his head helplessly.

This is not something he can decide.

“Janice.” Anru patted the other’s head, took out a secret communication ring from her pocket and handed it to her, “Do you know how to use this? If not, that’s okay, go ask your mentor.”

"Is this... a secret communication ring?" Janice stroked the ring, admiring it, and smiled, revealing her little tiger teeth. "I'll go find my mentor to learn how to use it later."

"Let's go, Janice." Anru pulled Xia Zuo along, waved goodbye to Janice.

The two arrived at the roadside and boarded a public carriage.

Through the car window, Xia Zuo saw Janice run to the school gate and hug a woman, who seemed to be her mother.

Janice handed the cloth bag she had been holding to her mother.

What's in Xia Zuo's pocket?

The university's cream toast, finely smoked meat, a small packet of spices wrapped in a napkin, a bunch of fresh leafy greens, and some fruit.

...

Xia Zuo and An Ru'er spent the entire Sunday at home reading novels.

Monday morning.

The two traveled to their office by public carriage.

Bosing Building, 3 basement levels.

Xia Zuo walked into his alchemy room and placed more than forty metal boxes on the shelf.

Last Thursday night.

The high-ranking blood demon sacrificed the city's converts.

This immediately kept the 17th Operations Team busy, spending the entire weekend processing piles of Transformers' flesh and blood, collecting their foul blood.

As soon as Xia Zuo arrived at the Bosing Building today, he was summoned by Captain Dunk.

Dunk instructed him to take the metal box from the poison room, along with the blood of the sacrificed Transformers, to determine how many Transformers who had committed murders in the past year had been sacrificed by high-ranking Blood Demons.

Xia Zuo used his poison sensing ability, combined with his detection technique, to categorize the metal boxes.

For two consecutive days, he was identifying these poisons.

Wednesday morning.

The drug testing task was completed half a day ahead of the deadline set by the supervisor of Xiazubi Vickers.

He brought the thick appraisal report to the office of the 17th Action Team.

"Good morning, Freya. Is the captain here?" Shazo walked into the reception room carrying a briefcase.

"The captain is here, but the others aren't," Freya said with a smile, looking up from her newspaper.

"Oh? A new mission?"

Xia Zuo glanced at the corridor inside the glass door; even the door to the exercise room was closed.

"Hmm." Freya nodded, stroking her chin as she thought for a moment, "It seems that other action teams need our help with their work, so Captain Dunk sent Lanlot and the others over."

"I see... I'll go in first then."

We walked all the way to the end of the corridor.

Dunke was fiddling with his secret communication ring, a pipe dangling from his mouth.

“Shazo, you’ve come at the right time. Director Vickers said he’s assigned you a task to research high-level blood demons, starting Thursday, right?”

As he spoke, Dunke walked toward the coffee machine, picked up a cup of coffee, and placed it on the table.

“Yes, Captain.” Xia Zuo took out a stack of appraisal reports from his briefcase.

This research on high-level blood demons also requires keeping watch, specifically on Thursday nights.

"You've finished identifying all the poisons in these cold cases? That's incredibly fast." Deng Ke flipped through the report, drawing lines on his notebook.

About 10 minutes later.

Deng Ke capped his pen, stared at the words on the notebook, pondered for a moment, and said:

"In that case, of the 40 murders in the past year, 33 have been solved. Their killers were sacrificed by high-level blood demons and turned into ashes... There are still 7 murders whose killers have not been found."

Xia Zuo asked, "Captain, can a high-level Blood Demon only sacrifice the converters it creates?"

"Yes. This is related to the blood mage tradition of the Church of the Otherworldly Demons, and the carrier of this tradition is bloodline."

Deng Ke picked out several reports from the appraisal report, set them aside, and read them carefully one by one before saying:

"The perpetrators of these seven murders are three shapeshifters. They may have been deliberately left behind by that high-ranking blood demon, or they may have been created by another blood demon. In any case, we must find them."

"Captain, is there anything I can do?" Xia Zuo asked. "My toxin sense might be of help."

Dunk took a puff of his pipe, walked to the window, and exhaled smoke. "Shazo, something's not right right now. You'd better follow Supervisor Vickers's instructions and stay in the Bosing Building to monitor the high-level blood demons in the underground laboratory. Don't leave the city area this weekend."

His gaze deepened as he held his pipe and stared at the road below. "Last week, more than a dozen Transformers died at once. I thought things would be more peaceful here in Poseidon, but unexpectedly, many disasters have occurred in the towns around Poseidon."

Xia Zuo glanced down the corridor.

I haven't seen Lanlot and the others for several days. Have they been busy with this matter?

"Do you know the 10th Operations Team?" Dunk asked, leaning against the window.

“I know a little, Captain. Hmm… Master Serites once told me that the 10th Operations Team is responsible for the outskirts of the city, and that the types of demons they deal with are not limited to blood mages.”

Xia Zuo paused for a second, recalling the figure in the black combat suit, "I know Simpson from the 10th Operations Team, Fox Squad. We were both in the lab the night we broke the Blood Demon No. 13."

Dunker took a drag of his cigarette and said:
