This Spiritual Energy is Lethal!

Chapter 41: Chapter 041 Love Comes Too Fast Just Like…

Chen Ke studied it carefully. The Type code was actually a set of affixes representing different effects.

For example, Category A stands for physical enhancement, while A1, A2, etc., are more specific enhancements under physical enhancement: epidermal hardening, spines, thick outer shells…

He flipped briefly through these thirty-plus pages of the catalog, and the various perverse effects listed made Chen Ke’s scalp tingle.

Some special effects were simply unreasonable, like X12: Spiritual Body. Monsters with this affix have no physical form! It’s not just about Spiritual Bullets, even Holy Relics would require an opposing affix to deal substantial damage to them.

Then there’s T9: Flame Invalid, all Holy Relics and Spiritual Bullets with a Flame attribute are completely useless, it’s simply defying the heavens.

It’s hard to imagine how strong a monster decked out in affixes could be; no wonder the Administration Bureau and military are collecting Holy Relics on such a large scale. Relying solely on Spiritual Bullets really falls short, and without an extremely complete and vast store of Holy Relics, the idea of facing all monsters is utter fantasy.

...

Fortunately, the Black Box Space opened by Spiritual Ability Enterprises wouldn’t have such perverse monsters, after all, an investigator is a profession that shouldn’t make its practitioners risk their necks.

Chen Ke wasn’t clear about the details of Spiritual Energy security, but at least within the Black Box Space, these investigators were provided with equipment that exceeded the level of the Black Box. This was why this somewhat chubby guy named Yang Xiao acted like he was out for a stroll.

“Do you have more copies of this booklet?” Chen Ke handed back “Jack Meyer’s Guide for Investigators: The Path from D to S!” to Yang Xiao.

The book contained very detailed information about the industry. Chen Ke didn’t think it could be bought online or in a bookstore.

“Weren’t you given one when you joined? Every investigator gets one. The catalog in the back is essential for the exam!” Yang Xiao said, puzzled.

“I left it at home,” Chen Ke replied vaguely, thinking that he was right, this material was indeed internal corporate material. It seemed getting his hands on it would require a bit of effort.

The catalog was very useful. Chen Ke pondered whether he could find an opportunity to borrow the book from Yang Xiao and take a few photos of the catalog with his phone…

“In fact, it’s not just this catalog, there’s also an investigator’s illustrated book. You need to look at both to recognize the monsters you’re facing on time. Anyway, there’s a lot to memorize,” Yang Xiao said, rolling up the booklet and tucking it into his back pocket.

“Do you have the illustrated book with you?” Chen Ke asked, curious.

“Of course, but it’s not with me, it’s with Sleery. I’m on a team with her. She’s the expert for memorizing these charts, but when it comes to shooting monsters, she’s a rookie,” Yang Xiao laughed.

“Sleery… huh, you mean that Miles… These names are really hard to remember,” Chen Ke shook his head and slowly walked towards the elevator door.

There was no need to entangle himself further with Yang Xiao. Sneaking out a few Holy Relic diamonds was the real task at hand.

“Hey, wait up! Didn’t we agree to team up?” Yang Xiao ran over and said.

“When did I agree to that?” Chen pressed the elevator button; the numbers on the elevator indicator began to flash, slowly ascending from 1.

“Going solo in monster hunting is exhausting, and it’s not completely without danger. Usually, investigators in the Black Box team up upon encountering one another, and besides, you don’t seem to have dealt with monsters before. You might be great with people, but handling monsters is a different story; I can look out for you in a critical moment,” Yang Xiao laughed, leaning against the wall with one hand.

“I think you’re the one who needs looking after… Are you scared? Now you’re desperately looking for people to stick with?” Chen Ke frowned.

“I…” Yang Xiao had just begun to speak when the elevator door opened, and a white light flooded the dark hallway.

Chen Ke was about to enter but realized someone was already inside, a Caucasian woman with light purple short hair who gracefully stepped out of the elevator. She stood at the doorway, looking at Chen Ke with interest.

“Sleery?! Where did you go? I’ve been looking…” Yang Xiao’s words were cut off mid-sentence as Sleery placed her right index finger on his lips to silence him.

Sleery was indeed striking in appearance, as exquisite as a 1000 union coin inflatable doll on eBay.

She was a head shorter than Chen Ke, wearing a light yellow short jacket and a purple crop top with black tight leather pencil skirt and over-the-knee boots. Green nylon tactical gun straps were wrapped around her attractive abdominal muscles, forming an “11” shape, with a handgun tucked into the holster – judging from the exposed grip, it should also be an M1911A1.

“Is this the new teammate you found for us, Yang?” Sleery stretched out her left hand, aiming to touch Chen Ke’s chest.

Chen Ke grasped her extended wrist and said, “Ms. Miles, that outfit of yours won’t do much good in this kind of place.”

Sleery withdrew her hand, smiling, “Don’t you think it looks good?”

“You should ask those monsters that,” Chen Ke said.

Sleery smiled, hugged her chest, and took another close look at Chen Ke, then suddenly changed the subject, “This guy, doesn’t seem like an investigator.”

Chen Ke’s eyebrows shot up.

Yang Xiao, who was beside him, also got nervous and immediately said, “Sleery… men can be messed with, but words can’t be spoken recklessly!”

Chen Ke ignored the woman, sidestepped his body past Sleery, and pressed the elevator button.

Sleery snorted, actually pulled an M1911A1 from her holster, and pointed it at the back of Chen Ke’s head.

“Fuck, what are you doing! Sleery, put the gun down!” Yang Xiao exclaimed.

He reached out to try to snatch the gun, but Sleery turned her head, gave him a look, and made him retract his hand.

Chen Ke didn’t feel even a hint of killing intent. It seemed this girl took the whole pointing-a-gun-at-someone’s-head thing as child’s play; she must have done it quite often before. With her attractive appearance and enticing attire, she probably often received comments from those men who go weak at the knees upon seeing a woman, saying she has “character” and is “fierce.”

Chen Ke turned around, looked into Sleery’s eyes, originally wanting to use the Killing Intent Trigger to scare her off, but then thought it was somewhat wasteful.

“Your eyes are really captivating, I can see fear and hesitation in them…” Sleery said with a smile.

“Your gun’s safety isn’t off,” Chen Ke said coldly.

“Hm?” Sleery was taken aback and glanced at the gun in her hand.

Suddenly, she felt the ground rushing toward her face.

“Bang!”

Sleery lay flat on the ground, eyes wide with an incredulous expression. Yang Xiao covered his eyes, unable to believe what had just happened.

“This is a good gun, really shouldn’t be in your hands,” Chen Ke said, holding Sleery’s M1911A1.

Different from Parker’s model, this modified version had reinforced the barrel, the grip was engraved, not only equipped with a reader but also with infrared aiming and lighting, and the counterweight had also been readjusted.

Chen Ke ejected the magazine, pulled back the slide, and extracted the bullet from the chamber, which was not a primerless one, but instead had a golden exterior unlike the full silver ones.

Who knew what attribute that Spiritual Bullet was.

Holding the empty gun, he pulled the trigger several times, realizing that this model’s trigger had been modified to a modern double-action safety trigger.

This foolish woman clearly hadn’t trained properly in shooting, not even knowing her gun had double-action safety.

As the elevator doors opened again, Chen Ke slipped the magazine back into the gun, chambered a round, and tossed it to Yang Xiao.

“I suggest you find a new line of work, being an investigator isn’t like popping balloons in the park, nor is it starring in action movies,” Chen Ke said before walking into the elevator.

The elevator doors closed, and through the crack, the white light slowly ascended.

Sleery still lay on the ground while Yang Xiao suddenly burst into laughter.

“Damn it, why! Hahaha! I didn’t expect you’d have this day! Your trick of picking up men has finally failed!” Yang Xiao laughed heartily.

Sleery looked at the elevator doors, her expression changing continuously, from anger slowly turning to doubt, then to embarrassment and awkwardness, and finally, she fell into fantasy and intoxication.

“That guy dared to touch me!… My God… he is really strong… and both precise and swift…”

Sleery lay on the ground, propping her chin with her left hand while closely examining her right wrist, reminiscing about the moment she had been instantly overpowered by Chen Ke. And she fantasized about other things.

Yang Xiao’s smile vanished. He had never seen Sleery with that expression before, and he felt he was in trouble.

“I think, I’ve fallen in love…” Sleery lifted her head, her face adorned with a blissful smile.
