Chapter 48: Chapter 45: Activate, Power of Twins!

"BOSS, where did these glasses come from?"

Xue Jing pushed up the GOD-1280 on his nose and glanced at the panel.

[Divinity: 201]

"Borrowed from another containment company," Wu Youqing replied, arms crossed.

Xue Jing was startled.

"There are other containment companies?"

Wu Youqing gave him a strange look. "Did I ever say there weren't?"

Xue Jing shook his head. "That's not what I meant... I just thought our company seemed so mysterious and high-end, I assumed it was the only one in the country without any branches."

"You're mistaken. Divine Relic Custodian Companies are somewhat special, but not that upscale. If I were to describe it... it's essentially no different from street sweepers cleaning the roads."

Wu Youqing shook her smooth, high ponytail, her slightly purple pupils shimmering like amethysts.

"You know, all Divine Relics possess random transfer abilities... That means no matter how good the measures, they can't be fully contained, so containment must be continuously and indefinitely carried out in an endless cycle."

"There are thousands of known Divine Relics in the world. Just think about it, thousands of Divine Relics could appear anywhere at any time. The workload is tremendously large, too much for a single company to handle."

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing asked,

"Since they'll transfer anyway, can't we just ignore them and let them be?"

Wu Youqing objected, "That won't work. All Divine Relics have unreasonable powers; they're too dangerous. If we did that, the whole world would quickly fall into chaos, even if containment is like 'drawing water with a bamboo basket,' it must continue without pause."

"I see."

After pondering again, Xue Jing asked, "Are we in a cooperative relationship with other containment companies?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation," Wu Youqing responded.

"The containment task is essentially outsourced to us by the officials, who allocate funds to each containment company based on their performance annually. Some companies might engage in aggressive competition to earn this money."

"If you encounter people from other companies while carrying out containment tasks, be careful too."

Xue Jing nodded, understanding.

"Alright, and if anything goes wrong or you encounter any unmanageable dangers, retreat immediately, safety first," Wu Youqing advised.

"Understood." Xue Jing acknowledged, then suddenly added,

"By the way, big sis, I want to test out the effects."

Wu Youqing was slightly taken aback. "What effect?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xue Jing removing the [Ordinary Glasses].

It was like a common stone shaking off dust, suddenly emitting a blazing, brilliant light.

In that moment, Xue Jing re-entered the state of the Innate Freeloader Holy Body.

"..."

Wu Youqing showed no reaction, only silently averting her gaze from him, a barely noticeable blush tinting her cheeks.

Xue Jing, looking at the panel displaying[Someone has developed a favor for you, Charm Art Experience Points +19], silently smiled.

It seemed that the effect was very good.

...

Holding a stack of documents about the wearer of the Glory of the Wicked Woman, Xue Jing left the library, planning to go home and prepare.

Wearing frameless glasses, he boarded a bus, looking over the information in his hands.

'The name is... Lou Huiying.'

'The main activity area is in South City...'

'Bars, discos, male host clubs, KTVs... quite the standard range of a gang leader's activities,' Xue Jing silently remarked.

The information indicated that Lou Huiying had already made a name for herself with the physical enhancements from the Crown of the Wicked Woman, establishing a small gang called the Rose Gang.

Every day was a spree of indulgence within her controlled territory.

The malice released by the Crown of the Wicked Woman was unmasked, drawing discontent from nearby gangs.

However, due to her formidable personal combat strength, no one could handle her for the time being.

Xue Jing glanced at the GOD-1105 information again.

"Crown of the Wicked Woman... Theoretically, the stronger the wearer's malice, the greater the enhancement to physical abilities... the current upper limit is unclear, the highest record is an international female fugitive, rated at a danger level of 4.2 with the Crown's enhancement..."

"But once it is removed, the wearer's physical abilities will gradually revert..."

"I see..."

Xue Jing looked at the materials, thinking of a strategy quietly.

Without realizing it, the bus stopped, and Xue Jing got off and walked back home.

As soon as he entered the door, Xue Jing casually called out, "Teacher Wan?"

There was no response.

He searched around the house but couldn't find Miao Miao.

"Out again?"

Xue Jing wondered.

Lately, it felt like Miao Miao was always going out, and he had no idea what she was doing.

He didn't pay much attention and went into the 'gym,' opening the panel.

[Divine Absorption Complete]

[Divinity Held: 311]

"Hmm?" Xue Jing raised an eyebrow.

Compared to the nearly five hundred points of divinity provided by the GOD-1391 Cat Tail Ring and the GOD-1567 Sweet Water Jug, this ordinary-looking pair of glasses had only provided just over three hundred.

"It seems there's quite a big gap in the divinity that each Divine Relic can provide."

After lamenting, Xue Jing swiped to the Divine Skill page and clicked [Twin Lifes].

[Twin Lifes Lv1 (Divinity needed for upgrade: 311/100, can upgrade now)]

Xue Jing clicked to upgrade.

[Twin Lifes Lv2 (Divinity needed for upgrade: 211/300)]

[Passive: Have two lives, can freely choose the time to resurrect within seven days after death, cooldown: 80 days]

[Active: Each Lv1 can specify a physical ability related to oneself, producing double effects when used]

[Currently Activated: Action Speed]

[Options Available: Physical Strength, Physical Defense, Reaction Speed, Calculative Ability, Concentration, Memory...]

"The cooldown time for the passive has decreased by ten days... If upgrading Lv1 reduces it by ten days... then wouldn't reaching Lv10 mean infinite resurrections?"

Xue Jing looked at the updated passive effects, somewhat surprised.

This was an upgrade worth the level!

He then looked toward the active effects, his eyes thoughtful.

"Hmm... let's go with [Physical Strength]."

Xue Jing made a decision.

This choice should provide the highest combat boost for him at the moment. Whether in hand-to-hand combat or testing the waters with a thrown stone, both would receive significant enhancements.

He was about to confront someone wearing the Crown of the Wicked Woman, who had strong physical abilities; choosing Physical Strength should be the right move.

Xue Jing pressed [Physical Strength] on the panel.

[Currently Activated: Physical Strength, Action Speed]

After activation, Xue Jing resisted the impulse to test it out on the spot and stepped out of his house.

On the small garden running track where he often jogged, Xue Jing picked up a thumb-sized pebble from the ground.

After looking around, he fixed his gaze on a camphor tree twenty meters away.

Holding the pebble, he raised his arm, operated the breathing skills, power surged in, and Xue Jing's gaze intensified.

[Power of Twins], activate!

"Whoosh!!"

The pebble whizzed through the air like a cannonball, the air wailing in friction, and flew straight towards the camphor tree.

"Bang!!"

A loud explosion startled the nearby pedestrians, one young man close by was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Was that a gunshot?" he stood up, still in shock, and spoke.

The curious crowd also came forward to see what had happened.

"Wow, is this some kind of stunt?"

"Could this be a meteorite?"

"No, wait, it looks like a pebble?"

"How did he do that, shoot it with a sniper rifle?"

On the camphor tree, whose diameter was over fifty centimeters, the outer bark had burst open radially, exposing the white heart of the tree.

At the center, a pebble that had split into several sections was deeply embedded, penetrating a full three inches.

...

So itchy, really want a big monthly ticket...
