CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 13: DIMENSIONAL JUMP 2

After completing her studies, she is supposed to return to the Del Region.

Beside Daisy stood a tall woman with a serious expression, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with stern eyebrows and a quiet demeanor. A faint scar ran along the side of her neck. She wore a gray trench coat and nodded slightly upon seeing Shawn, saying, "Hello, Investigator Sean."

Shawn responded, "Hello, Quinn."

"Any leads?"

The other party was investigating the man-eating rat incident. Rats should not gather in large numbers, much less attack humans. Headquarters suspected that some rats had consumed the flesh of a losing control Transcendent, resulting in widespread contamination.

In the last market district incident, a losing control Deep Diver died in the sewer, possibly leaving behind something that the rats consumed.

Because of this matter, someone from the logistics department was demoted and held accountable.

"Yes." Quinn nodded and said, "Minor problem."

"It’s just a bit troublesome to handle, so we can only rely on Daisy."

With so many rats contaminated, cleanup is very difficult. Daisy has the ability to dominate animals, so asking her for help was the right choice.

Hank didn’t report to headquarters today; he’s probably still over in University City.

Stairwell entrance.

"Sean."

A secretary wearing glasses hurried over, glanced up at Shawn, and said, "Your task application has been approved."

"But you must first undergo a mental evaluation."

Shawn really didn’t want to be idle like this. He felt his Rationality Value was recovering quickly, but others didn’t think so. If an Investigator showed signs of temporary madness, they needed at least a month or two of rest to recover. Shawn had only been resting for a week.

He actually felt almost fully recovered by the second day, but he couldn’t resist the long vacation approved by the higher-ups.

Shawn once again met with the psychologist, Ivan, a Transcendent of the Mind Path.

He was somewhat repelled by the Mind Path.

Ivan seemed to have no friends here, often keeping to himself. Hardly anyone got too close to people of the Mind Path. He conducted a mental evaluation on Shawn, expressing surprise: "Your rationality anchor is extremely stable."

In terms Shawn could understand, his Rationality Value was recovering very quickly, far surpassing other Investigators.

"You should have no problem carrying out tasks now." Ivan quickly stamped the psychological evaluation, speaking softly, "Just hand this in to them."

There aren’t many Investigators in Dorne City.

Night Watchers only need to be strong, but Investigators not only need certain self-defense abilities but must also possess high intuition.

There was once a time when Dorne City fell into a state with no available Investigators.

After that, protective measures for Investigators were greatly enhanced. Transcendents with high intuition are quite rare, and the mortality rate among Investigators was too high.

"Thank you." Shawn reached out to take the evaluation report.

With this report, he should have no problem applying to carry out missions in the future.

At noon.

Shawn was having lunch in the canteen. The combat personnel enjoyed significantly better meals. Today’s main courses included pan-fried cod, charcoal-grilled lamb chops, red wine-braised beef, and steamed lobster. Given the productivity of this era, such meals were a daily affair, and even ordinary nobles might not afford it. Their meal standard was akin to a five-star hotel buffet from a previous life.

Many Night Watchers are big eaters, especially Jason Tangel, who could devour a whole roasted lamb even while using a crutch.

Yes, he can walk normally now.

"Transcendents with blood and flesh enhancement abilities have astonishing recovery rates." Shawn was astounded at the time.

Shawn’s appetite today was average. He helped himself to a piece of pan-fried cod with a small slice of lemon, a portion of red wine-braised beef, not knowing the cut but it was very tender. He was getting tired of lamb chops lately, so he switched to a seafood lobster, and filled half his plate with vegetables and fruits, opting for a lighter meal to supplement dietary fiber.

Due to the access to ports, seafood prices in Dorne City were not expensive.

Despite the low productivity in the real world, food prices were relatively low, and ordinary people could afford meat occasionally. It’s said that food is even cheaper in the Del Region, possibly related to the Path of Nature.

The Dorne Kingdom enjoyed consistent weather with good harvests year-round.

When Shawn thought of this, he somewhat understood why Daisy’s identity was so special. If he were in the same position, he would also take good care of this exchange student studying abroad.

In a special enclosed room.

As the short-haired, efficient woman in front of him switched on the light, Shawn immediately saw a completely sealed black box imprinted with intricate rune markings, slightly different from those seen last time.

"The Extraordinary Relics recovered from the last mission are too contaminated, basically unusable for you."

The woman in front gestured, "This was temporarily transferred from elsewhere."

"It took quite some effort."

The reward has arrived.

This time, Shawn was presented with only a black box. He glanced at the short-haired woman beside him and gently opened the box.

A strange mass resembling stardust appeared.

It wasn’t a physically existing Extraordinary Relic but hovered one centimeter above the ground. To the naked eye, it appeared solid, but upon reaching out to touch it, it fluctuated between reality and illusion, as if it didn’t exist in this space.

This Extraordinary Relic is no simple matter.

It possibly wasn’t obtained from the material world.

——Identification Skill.

The mysterious knowledge in Shawn’s mind slowly seeped out, and upon touching this strange crystal fragment, the knowledge buzzed in a whisper, appearing quite excited.
