Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 68 Running to Each Other
At the place where the Burial Flower Knife disappeared, a green round stone fell to the ground and rolled around, but was stopped by Yang Xu's foot.

Yang Xu picked it up and took a look.

【Wind and Thunder Embers】

【Type: Gem】

[Affiliation: Eighth Era]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Increase agility by 5 points, increase movement speed by 10%]

[Instructions: Equip the item directly to activate the effect; or find a driller to embed the gem into the footwear to activate the effect. Once the gem is embedded, it cannot be completely removed.]

"gem?"

After reading the item description, Yang Xu suddenly realized why the Burial Flower Blade was so fast; it was indeed the item's enhancement. Speaking of which, the stone's attributes were truly impressive, increasing both agility and movement speed! Both agility and movement speed were attributes he desperately needed, especially agility. The higher his agility, the more flexible he became, and the more powerful his super senses would be.

Gems can be embedded in footwear or used directly as equipment. The effect is the same, the difference is that the former can save an equipment slot.

To inlay gems, you need to find a puncher. This is a skin in the Eighth Era, and it is not difficult to find. There are several punchers setting up stalls on the black market in the square, making money by punching holes for people every day.

Drilling holes is easy, but whether to inlay gems requires careful consideration, because the inlaying process is irreversible. Once the inlay is completed, it is impossible to separate them painlessly. You can only choose one of two options: destroy the equipment to save the gems, or destroy the gems to save the equipment.

Yang Xu didn't need to worry about the inlay problem at this time, because he didn't have any shoes at all. What he lacked was the number of equipment slots.

Currently, his three equipment slots are already filled with a hatchet, armor, and storage bags. All three are essential necessities, leaving no space for gems.

Fortunately, he has Pokémon. After Pokémon reaches level 10, a new equipment slot will be unlocked for him.

Yang Xu patted the cloth pocket on his waist, woke up the Pokémon, took out two pieces of Tiger Moth fragments and fed them to it.

The Pokémon was woken up by Yang Xu in its sleep and was still a little dizzy. It was rubbing its eyes and yawning, and then it saw the Mirror Ghost fragment that Yang Xu put to its mouth. It woke up in a second, grabbed the fragment and stuffed it into its mouth.

The Pokémon swallowed the two pieces of debris like a biscuit, licked its lips, and looked at Yang Xu expectantly, waiting for him to continue feeding it.

"Not upgraded?"

Yang Xu looked at the list of Pokémon he had commanded, and found that the level of the Pokémon was still level five.

Yang Xu frowned and took out two more pieces of zombie fragments to feed it.

The skills of the moth and zombie fragments are useless and can't be sold for many points, so just use them as 'dog food' to feed your pets to upgrade.

The Pokémon also accepts everything and puts it directly into its mouth.

After swallowing four fragments in a row, the Pokémon finally leveled up by 1, reaching level 6. Several attributes were slightly improved, but it was still far from level 10.

"Squeak!"

The sickle-weasel on Yang Xu's shoulder saw that its master actually fed all four fragments to the new little thing, leaving itself without a single piece, and it immediately squeaked in anxiety.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of scraps for you to eat later."

Yang Xu smiled and rubbed the sickle-weasel's head with his fingers to comfort it.

The upper limit of Pokémon is only level 10. It is relatively easy to upgrade below level 10. Moreover, he urgently needs equipment slots, so he must give priority to feeding Pokémon.

As for Kamaitachi, the level cap is 30, and the highest can reach 4 stars!
It can be said that before he reaches 5 stars, Kamaitachi is destined to always be one of his main combat pets. When he becomes rich in the future, the fragments will definitely be given priority to Kamaitachi.

Upgrading Mirror Ghost was more difficult than expected. Yang Xu was reluctant to give it those high-level fragments, so he could only send the Pokémon back to the storage bag first, then opened the panel log and took a look at the battle settlement information.

[You successfully hunted the wanted individual 'Burial Flower Knife', gaining 247 experience points and 8 Qingyang City Contribution points.]

[Your deviation value has been reduced by 2 points and is now +2.]

Killing a wanted criminal with an 8-point deviation only reduces the value by 2 points, which is much lower than expected.

Yang Xu took out the parchment and took a look. At this time, the man's appearance and ID on the wanted poster had disappeared and turned blank again. The "Cumulative Contribution" column at the top also automatically turned to 8 points.

Contributions can be exchanged for various items in the City Lord's Mansion. When Yang Xu entered the City Lord's Mansion before, he had seen the contribution exchange list posted on the wall.

Phoenix fragments require 50 contributions and a 3-star wanted order.

In other words, he must complete at least 10 wanted orders before he can be eligible for redemption.

So strictly speaking, the City Lord's Mansion fragments were not intended for beginners, but for administrators who already had altars to upgrade to mid-level and high-level altars. Normally, newcomers had to start by joining a guild and working their way up step by step.

Yang Xu was a rather arrogant person. He skipped the guild step and took on a job that would normally be taken by a two or three star player.

"Next!" The bounty hunter's first victory made Yang Xu full of confidence. Holding the parchment in his hand, he continued to input true energy.

The appearance of a person appeared on the parchment again.

This time it was a thin young man, ID Huochenming, deviation value +5.

Looking at the map on the back of the parchment again, Yang Xu was suddenly stunned. This person's position looked very familiar...

"Isn't this a safe zone?" Yang Xu recognized it.

Moreover, number X shown on the map happened to be near the teleportation array in the square, only a few meters away from the teleportation point.

"and many more……"

Yang Xu realized something was amiss as soon as he saw the location: Could this person be teleporting back to their territory? Teleportation was erratic; the enemy's territory could be anywhere in the city. Once the target passed through the teleportation array, it was practically impossible to find them.

He put away the parchment and hurried towards the safe zone.

It's a pity that whatever you are afraid of will come to you.

When he ran back to the square, he saw a figure that looked very similar to the one on the wanted poster, queuing in front of the teleportation array. Before Yang Xu could rush into the square, the figure had already stepped onto the teleportation array and was swallowed by the white light.

"Tough luck!"

Yang Xu shook his head regretfully. The wanted poster only showed the wanted criminal's location at the time. If they arrived at the scene and the wanted criminal had already moved, they would have to waste a refresh opportunity to relocate. If they were unlucky, they might use up all three chances in a day and not catch a single person.

In a situation like this, where the wanted criminal just happened to spawn next to the teleportation point, there was no explanation to it, it was pure bad luck.

Yang Xu had no choice but to give up and prepare for the next one.

But he learned his lesson this time. The wanted warrant would capture the qualified target closest to him. There were people coming and going near the square. If he used the parchment scroll here, the wanted criminal might still be in the square.

Yang Xu deliberately left the square and walked straight along the east road until he reached a street intersection six or seven kilometers away from the square, only then did he activate the wanted order again.

Energy surged in, and a new portrait appeared on the wanted poster.

ID: Changming, playing card: 2 of Spades, LV17, deviation value: +6.

Yang Xu casually glanced at the appearance and immediately turned to the map on the back to confirm the location.

Fortunately, this time it’s not a safe zone.

However, this time, the target was incredibly close. The X on the map was right in the center, with a caption below it: '10 meters away in a straight line.'

10 meters! Isn’t that right next to him?

Yang Xu subconsciously looked up and looked around.

He was on a commercial street. Although it was a mirror world, it was one of the eight main roads in the public area, so there were many administrators coming and going nearby. At a glance, there were at least seventy or eighty people gathered at this street corner.

However, when the range is narrowed to ten meters, the target becomes much clearer.

Yang Xu quickly locked onto a man on his left, leaning against a street light.

The hooked nose, curly hair, and trench coat perfectly matched the wanted poster.

At this time, the man with the hooked nose was also holding a piece of paper, looking around furtively, as if he was also looking for something.

Yang Xu was about to sneak over, but halfway there, he suddenly saw the contents of the paper in the other person's hand.

It was a hand-drawn sketch of a man, dressed in black and masked, holding a hatchet...

At this moment, the man with the hooked nose also turned and headed towards Yang Xu.

Seeing Yang Xu, the man was obviously stunned. He quickly lowered his head to look at the painting in his hand, then looked up at Yang Xu and glared at him: "Damn it, it's him! Someone come quickly!"

After this shout, more than ten people suddenly emerged from the crowd nearby and gathered towards Yang Xu.

"where is it?"

"Black clothes, hatchet, it's definitely him!"

"Catch him quickly and avenge Brother Dao!"

"Don't let him get away..."
