Chapter 14 Astonishing Efficiency

The muffled gunshot rang out, and the specially made incendiary round detonated within the narrow space of the handrail's tube, destroying the F-class dark creature inside as the handrail was blown apart.

Eliminated F-class dark creature, gained 10 energy points, current points: 10.

A line of information appeared in his mind, and the energy points section changed from 0 to 10.

An E-class dark creature was worth 100 energy points, but an F-class was only 10. This made Yu Zhibo somewhat disappointed. "These F-class dark creatures look very weak!" he said.

As he spoke, he went to rummage through the iron pipe, looking for Dark Spirit Crystals.

One Dark Spirit Crystal was worth ten merit points, which was half a million.

Seeing his actions, Wang Angge不满地 tapped his head. "Don't be careless. Although F-class dark creatures don't have the same vitality as E-class, one incendiary round might not be enough to kill it. Remember, combat isn't child's play; you must be extremely careful and cautious."

"Got it." Yu Zhibo naturally wouldn't say that he only knew the dark creature inside was dead because of the system's prompt. He just nodded cautiously, touching the spot where Wang Angge had tapped him.

"She hit pretty hard!"

Immediately, his Sharingan saw the air above the water pipe distort and then spread towards the broken pipe. Finally, a small mass of distorted air lifted a gray crystal and brought it into Wang Angge's palm.

Yu Zhibo looked envious. "Sister, your ability is pretty cool!"

Wang Angge said indifferently, "Just a small trick of manipulating air, not comparable to your eyes."

"Alas! You flatter me!"

"Let's start the distribution. For this dark creature, you were responsible for reconnaissance and main output, but I provided the gun, and I primarily handled the control. So, I suggest a 4-6 split, you get 6, I get 4. Do you have any objections?"

Yu Zhibo looked at her in surprise, then scratched his head sheepishly. "How about 5-5? I feel like I didn't do much!"

"Play is play, and joking is joking, but don't joke about benefits. Since you have no objections, then this is how it's distributed. I'm not short of these few merit points," Wang Angge said with a smile, patting his shoulder and directly confirming the distribution plan.

After searching further, the two began to head to the second floor.

Yu Zhibo rotated his scarlet eyes, scanning everywhere, while Wang Angge followed him leisurely, her gaze filled with anticipation as she looked at his back.

The floor layout of the second floor was similar to the first. After the two walked out of the stairwell, they turned right and headed towards the restroom.

The reason they headed towards the restroom was mainly because restrooms were the filthiest places in the entire building. Generally, both vengeful spirits and dark creatures preferred such dark and filthy places.

However, halfway there, Yu Zhibo suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on the blank wall to the right of the archive room door on the right front.

Wang Angge followed his gaze but saw nothing.

"To the left of the archive room door, 97 centimeters horizontally, about 46 centimeters from the ground, I see a mass of gray spiritual energy. It should be a dark creature in camouflage state," Yu Zhibo said softly and quickly, his scarlet eyes blinking.

The information transmitted from his Sharingan to his brain was clear and accurate. Yu Zhibo instantly calculated the dark creature's position with precision, down to the centimeter.

If someone were to measure with a ruler, they would find that the distances he mentioned were exactly correct.

Wang Angge estimated the distance, raised her arm, and spread her five fingers. Instantly, an invisible net formed and accurately covered the position Yu Zhibo had indicated.

The next moment, a black mass appeared on the originally pale wall, beginning to liquefy and trying to drip to the ground to re-condense and escape.

Yu Zhibo raised his Type 92 pistol, without even aiming, and pulled the trigger.

*Bang!*

The specially made incendiary round shot out, followed by a burst of flame that suddenly exploded on the wall. The dark creature on the wall was blasted into pieces and evaporated, and a black crystal fell to the ground – the Dark Energy Spirit Crystal.

It seemed that because its core had been hit, the remaining half of the dark creature's body completely lost its vitality and could no longer re-condense.

Eliminated F-class dark creature, gained 10 energy points, current energy points: 20.

Yu Zhibo ran over and picked up the Dark Energy Spirit Crystal. It felt cold to the touch, like a glass bead just taken out of the refrigerator. The high temperature of the incendiary round had not damaged it, nor had it affected its temperature.

"Is your marksmanship because of your eyes?" Wang Angge's face showed a hint of strangeness. Looking at Yu Zhibo's scarlet eyes, she couldn't remember how many times she had seen Yu Zhibo's new abilities.

Yu Zhibo smiled and scratched his head, neither admitting nor denying it. For the two-tomoe Sharingan, improving hit rate was a trivial matter.

When using a pistol, the moment he thought of hitting a target, the Sharingan had already instantly analyzed the bullet's speed after firing, air resistance, and how wrist strength would affect the outcome.

Then, it would transmit the adjustment plan to his mind in the most intuitive way, forming an instinct, thus allowing him to fire that fast and accurate shot.

It should be known that in the Naruto manga, Sasuke, shortly after awakening his two-tomoe Sharingan, during his duel with Gaara, had only seen Rock Lee perform the Gentle Fist once before he could replicate it and improve it into the Lion Combo, unleashing a series of attacks on Gaara that left him with no chance to retaliate.

This demonstrated the monstrous nature of the Sharingan: it could easily learn, replicate, and even improve upon high-difficulty taijutsu like the Gentle Fist, let alone the simple task of hitting a target 10 meters away with a pistol.

Handing the Dark Energy Spirit Crystal, worth half a million, no, the Dark Energy Spirit Crystal, to Wang Angge, Yu Zhibo played with the Type 92 pistol in his hand, his thoughts racing.

With the help of the Sharingan, he was beginning to feel confident that he could directly shoot and eliminate dark creatures the moment he spotted them. This way, he would definitely get more merit points.

But that wasn't the right way to do things. Yu Zhibo hesitated for a moment before abandoning the idea.

Wang Angge was his guide, and she had even saved his life. If he directly shot and killed the dark creature, wouldn't Sister Angge lose face and feel awkward about taking so many merit points?

However, if he didn't kill them directly and let Wang Angge waste her spiritual energy to seal the dark creatures, what if a sudden crisis occurred and Wang Angge ran out of energy?

Thinking this, Yu Zhibo became somewhat hesitant.

Wang Angge looked at Yu Zhibo, who had suddenly become hesitant, with some confusion. After thinking for a moment, she seemed to understand. "Yu Zhibo's Sharingan has powerful and complex functions. It must consume a lot of spiritual energy when activated. This should be due to a lack of spiritual energy."

So, she opened her mouth to comfort him. "If the burden is too great, just close your eyes for now. After all, you're only F-class right now; there's no need to push yourself."

"???" Yu Zhibo's eyes were full of question marks.

Wang Angge said, "The power of an ability is directly proportional to the amount of spiritual energy it consumes. I feel that your eyes must consume quite a bit of spiritual energy when activated, so I advise you not to rush. Eliminating two dark creatures today is already exceeding the quota. If you continue to develop like this, you'll soon become a formal member of the Sacred Bureau."

By the end, she even reached out and patted Yu Zhibo's shoulder, looking at him encouragingly.

In fact, it was no wonder Wang Angge had such a misunderstanding. In the Investigation Department, there was a sensory-type awakened individual, an E-class, who, whenever they went out on missions to find dark creatures, would be unable to continue after a short while and needed to constantly use spiritual energy recovery potions to carry on with the mission, greatly increasing the mission costs for the Investigation Department.

But even so, the Investigation Department had to tolerate him because there were too few sensory-type awakened individuals in Ningcheng, and the only two were in the Execution Department, which had a higher combat intensity. Therefore, the General Bureau had sent such a difficult person down.

However, the Investigation Bureau couldn't afford not to use him, because eliminating low-level dark creatures was something every city had to do. Otherwise, if they were allowed to proliferate, the number of new awakened individuals would only decrease.

Therefore, every city had a fixed quota for eliminating dark creatures. There were no penalties for not completing it, but the resources obtained would definitely be less than those of cities that performed better.

And looking at Yu Zhibo, who had only awakened less than two days ago and hadn't even officially joined the Sacred Bureau, he had already contributed the elimination of two F-class, one E-class, and one D-class dark creature. At F-class, he was already like this. What about when he reached Class 1? He would crush that airborne observer in minutes.

No, he was already crushing him, as Yu Zhibo hadn't even started using spiritual energy potions.

Thinking of this, Wang Angge's gaze softened even more. "This is a treasure."

After hearing Wang Angge's words, Yu Zhibo finally realized that Wang Angge thought he had run out of spiritual energy due to the high consumption of his eyes and wanted to persuade him to rest and not push himself.

He immediately wanted to explain that his Sharingan could be activated for 100 divided by 0.05 seconds, which was about half an hour, and that didn't even include the slight recovery of spiritual energy during the activation process. But then he thought, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, and he didn't need to reveal everything.

When he was young, he was too sensible and was often sent by his parents to do this and that, so by the time he was just over 16, he could already do various chores and cook dozens of home-style dishes. His sister, on the other hand, because she was good at acting cute, had been doted on since childhood, and even he spoiled her, wanting her to have all the good things first.

So, he decided to compromise. He took a breath and said, "With my current spiritual energy, activating the Sharingan can only last for about 15 minutes."

"Ah, that long?" Wang Angge looked at him with surprise, and a look of joy appeared on her face.

She knew that the sensory-type awakened individual in their department could only last for ten minutes when using their abilities, and even then, they could only vaguely sense the location. It was nowhere near as accurate as the location provided by Yu Zhibo.

Seeing Wang Angge's expression, Yu Zhibo immediately knew he had been too hasty.

But he didn't feel discouraged, as the Sacred Bureau didn't owe him anything.

Then, he saw Wang Angge take out a plastic bottle from her pocket. "This is a Spiritual Recovery Pill. One pill can restore 30 points of spiritual energy within 5 minutes. Each bottle has 20 pills, and one bottle costs 3 merit points. I haven't used this bottle, so you can take it first. However, you need to note that with your current physique, you cannot eat more than 10 pills per day, or there will be side effects."

"Oh, how can I accept this!" Yu Zhibo said with surprise, taking the Spiritual Recovery Pill.

"I won't charge you for this bottle of merit points. I'll find the team leader to reimburse me later, after all, we've eliminated two dark creatures today." Seeing Yu Zhibo's satisfied look, Wang Angge also smiled.

Yu Zhibo opened the bottle cap and looked. He found that the pills were black, round pills, about 3mm in diameter. The smell was a bit pungent, but acceptable.

With this bottle of medicine, he could cast several Great Fireball Jutsu in a day, and he wouldn't have to calculate whether he had enough spiritual energy for each skill like yesterday.

He couldn't help but sigh: "As expected, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I just pretended to have insufficient spiritual energy, and I got this bottle of Spiritual Recovery Pills worth 150,000 for free. It's simply too awesome."

Then, Yu Zhibo, who had taken advantage of the situation, began to search diligently, even abandoning the wooden boards marked with two spiritual energy points, quickening his pace to search.

Soon, he found another low-level dark creature in the women's restroom.

"On the wall above the third squat toilet on the right, Sister, lock it!"

Wang Angge unhesitatingly used her ability to restrain it, then pulled the trigger, and the gunshot rang out.

*Bang!*

[Eliminated one F-class creature, gained 10 energy points, current energy points: 30.] The system prompt appeared.

"There's one in the top-left and one in the top-right of the storage room. Lock them for me!" Yu Zhibo commanded.

Wang Angge rolled her eyes, but her hands didn't slow down. With a wave of her hand, she restrained them simultaneously.

*Bang! Bang!*

"There's one above the office door, yes, right on the nameplate."

*Bang!*

With Yu Zhibo's precise commands and Wang Angge's powerful control, the two only spent about 20 minutes to run through the three-story hospital and eliminate a total of 9 dark creatures.

Yu Zhibo also happily obtained 90 energy points, and Wang Angge also exceeded her quota. For a time, the two reaped bountifully and called it a great success.

According to the pre-arranged distribution plan, Wang Angge would receive about 36 merit points this time, which made her look at Yu Zhibo with gratitude. This was because when they killed the third dark creature, she had already determined that Yu Zhibo's marksmanship was improving visibly, and he could even complete the kills independently without her control.

But the kind-hearted youth still let her gain merit points without any reluctance.

Wang Angge wanted to refuse, but upgrading abilities required a large amount of resources, and these merit points were exactly what she was short of. So, she just kept this kindness in her heart, planning to repay it when she had the chance.

The two left the hospital, got into the car, and prepared to head to the base.

At this time, Yu Zhibo's gaze towards the Land Rover was already very calm, as this car was only worth about 9 merit points.

Adding the previous 45 points and the 54 points he would receive today, he was already a wealthy individual with 99 merit points.

He could buy 11 such cars!

Of course, this could only be realized after officially registering with the Sacred Bureau.

He began to look forward to the upcoming trip to the Sacred Bureau even more.
