Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 113 Intermediate Talismans
"Besides the three evil organizations that are labeled as hostile, there are now more than a dozen groups of varying sizes in Xinzhou, some of which are neutral, some are friendly, and some are hostile."

"Today, I will only talk about a few that have a relatively large influence or scale."

"You can read and learn more about the rest later in the column I posted on the Information Network."

After saying this, Yang Ping opened another one, marked as a friendly organization.

"The Haier Brothers are mainly composed of two young people, and the source of their specific abilities is currently unknown."

"The two first appeared on camera at the scene of a car accident on the Linjiang Bridge."

"A young man named Zhao Hai suddenly rushed out and used some kind of method that could summon water to safely catch a bus that was about to overturn and was involved in a fatal accident."

"Because of the sense of justice he displayed and his behavior on several occasions, he was labeled as friendly."

"So far, his few moves have revealed his ability to manipulate water flow, the source of which is unknown but the intensity is extremely high."

"There are acts of catching a bus weighing several tons and bringing it to a safe landing, as well as the feat of extinguishing a factory fire by one person."

"The other one is named Ye Fei—as for why the two are called 'Haier Brothers', it is unknown."

"Initially, its ability was to summon an ancient longbow from its hand at any time."

"The arrows fired were quite powerful, and their range was comparable to that of ordinary firearms, and there seemed to be no limit to the number of arrows that could be fired."

"In the most recent eyewitness account, the two were fighting against a powerful evil cultivator in the suburbs when the video was unexpectedly captured."

"According to the video, this person can transform his limbs into a form consisting only of bones."

"After transforming into this form, its limb strength and power are greatly enhanced."

According to Academician Chen of the Bureau's Research Department, this person belongs to the category of Bloodline Awakening.

Compared to the previous three evil organizations, the Haier Brothers Alliance, which is labeled as friendly, has many missing pieces of information.

Only a basic name and general ability are provided.

Clearly, the Special Operations Bureau will significantly reduce its oversight and investigation of friendly organizations.

Instead, they will focus more energy and personnel on lone wolves and hostile organizations that pose a greater threat.

After explaining the second organization, Yang Ping waited a while longer.

Only then did he take out a brand new report, adjust the spotlight, and project it onto the screen.

"This is the third organization I'm going to talk about, and also the last one today."

"According to reliable sources, this organization has existed for more than a month, making it the organization with the longest verifiable establishment time, but it is also the latest mysterious organization to be discovered."

"There are so many people involved that it is not possible to fully count how many members there are at the moment."

"The organization is shrouded in mystery, with unclear objectives. Its members all appear wearing masks painted with different oil paints—the color schemes on the masks seem to correspond to the members' abilities to some extent."

"No such organization has been found so far. Some individuals have engaged in clearly malicious behavior, but there are also multiple eyewitness accounts."

“Masked members appeared at the scene of various demons and the Special Operations Bureau’s confrontation, seemingly observing or having other intentions.”

"Purpose and intent are unclear; therefore, we will temporarily label it as neutral."

"If you encounter any mysterious individuals who resemble members of this organization during your operations, please remain calm and refrain from making any rash moves to antagonize them before you understand the full situation..."

And so, Yang Ping went on and on for half an hour, talking about the location the organization had discovered and some intelligence that could be corroborated from the side.

In short, it sounds like a group full of mystery and the unknown.

It seems to lack the style of the Haier Brothers Alliance, which features young people full of passion and justice.

There was also none of the ruthlessness and greed of those evil or profit-driven organizations.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng, sitting below the stage, also became curious as he listened to Fellow Daoist Yang's rambling explanation of the organization.

However, the records showed that members of this organization repeatedly failed to help those in distress and stood by as bystanders, which displeased him.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, today's lessons were over.

Yang Ping packed up his teaching materials, breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked down from the podium to Li Qingfeng's side.

Just as he was about to greet him, he saw Li Qingfeng looking intently in a certain direction.

This behavior did not align with Yang Ping's perception of his fellow Daoist, Li.

In his memory, Li Qingfeng only focused so intently and without blinking when he was staring at the evil cultivator he was about to kill.

Then, following his gaze, I saw that Tan Hui, who had come to listen in today, and that unknown leader were standing up and talking to each other.

Yang Ping was naturally intrigued by the interesting prospect of eavesdropping on his superiors' conversation, so he shut his mouth and listened quietly.

As he strained his ears, he gradually heard his director's distinctive voice.

"...Haha, how does Director Li feel? This is the most professional lecture in Wushan City."

Listening to Tan Hui, who was slightly overweight and wearing a white practice uniform, chatting with the middle-aged man in a sharp suit in front of him, he was all smiles.

The middle-aged man who was being spoken to also sighed with genuine emotion.

"It's really comprehensive. I feel it's much more detailed and thorough than what's being taught at the headquarters in Beijing."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something and added a sentence.

"I heard that the researcher Yang who just gave the lecture compiled the most authoritative list of demons on the information network all by himself."

"Everyone's saying that the headquarters in Beijing offered him an astronomical sum, but they still couldn't poach him from your side. That shows how attractive Director Tan's side must be."

This string of flattery, seemingly delivered on a whim, struck right at Tan Hui's heart.

Director Tan, who was known for his shrewdness and cunning, was overjoyed.

Looking at Director Li in front of him, it was as if he had seen a long-lost brother.

Then there's the fact that the other party brought a full complement of 40 extraordinary armed personnel to assist Wushan City, a region heavily affected by demons.

It also brought in a large amount of funding and personnel allocation quotas, and even the base expansion permit that Tan Hui had been waiting for for more than ten years was finally granted.

And all of this was brought about by Director Li in front of us.

This made Director Tan, who was now obsessed with extraordinary things, wish he could immediately chop off a chicken's head and burn incense to become sworn brothers.

Of course.

These certainly aren't free.

This person, as the director of the Special Operations Bureau in the capital, must have heard about it from somewhere.

Our side has a superhuman squad that previously ventured into "The Tomb of a Hundred Kings," now ranked number one on the data network for its deadliest location, and successfully emerged alive. Meanwhile, it seems the other side has also discovered information about the tomb and the zombies.

However, he lacked the necessary personnel and planned to send one of his own small teams to lead the exploration.

These various orders, funds, and personnel were all arranged under the guise of support.

But most of the approvals are actually based on kickbacks.

Having spent so many years in officialdom, Tan Hui naturally understood this principle.

As soon as the other party landed, he personally greeted them and led them on a tour, showing them the base's facade and the nation's most prestigious lectures.

Looking at it now, it's clear that the deterrent and "muscle-flexing" effects have been achieved.

Director Tan also knew the principle of moderation, so he prepared to take the other party directly to meet the superhuman team with rich "project experience".

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they left the classroom one after the other.

The capable female assistant who had been following them the whole time arrived just before they left.

He glanced back at the two people eavesdropping in the back seat, but said nothing and turned to leave.

And here——

"Fellow Daoist Li, that woman glanced at us just now. Did she realize we were eavesdropping?"

At this moment, Yang Ping, who had stepped down from the podium, seemed like a different person. He blinked blankly and asked Li Qingfeng, who was standing to the side with a blank expression.

"Indeed, she discovered it."

"This woman is not simple. Although I did not sense any cultivation aura, she should be a master among mortals, and most likely she is carrying a magic weapon."

Li Qingfeng ignored Yang Ping, who was acting silly beside him, and instead analyzed the situation seriously.

Yang Ping didn't mind, or rather, he was already used to his fellow Daoist Li's personality.

"That's it..."

He nodded indifferently.

next moment.

Suddenly, he looked mysterious and reached into his pocket.

Then he took out four or five yellow talismans, each painted with different mysterious and obscure patterns.

Then he stretched out his hand in front of Li Qingfeng and handed it over.

Meanwhile, Li Qingfeng, seeing this series of actions, naturally accepted them.

Previously, because Yang Ping had to give lectures, he was often unable to attend classes or perform tasks, so Li Qingfeng was always the one running around outside.

Feeling guilty, Yang Ping used his spare time to draw many talismans by expending his spiritual energy.

He would often give gifts to Li Qingfeng to help him in his actions.

However, these talismans today piqued Li Qingfeng's curiosity.

Although he couldn't draw talismans, he had used them quite a few and could roughly distinguish which functions they were commonly used by looking at the patterns.

Although demons have now appeared, Yang Ping does not appear on duty very often.

The level of spiritual energy within my body is only slightly stronger than it was a month ago.

The talismans that can be drawn are mostly basic talismans, which can only provide some minor auxiliary effects.

Today, these talismans look completely different, with patterns that are several times more complex.

Furthermore, Li Qingfeng seemed to have a feeling that this talisman was conveying a message in the dark.

By inputting spiritual energy, you can activate certain functions.

A thought involuntarily arose in Li Qingfeng's mind as he held the talisman in his hand.

He looked up at Yang Ping, who was grinning from ear to ear, with an expression that said, "How about that? Aren't I awesome?"

"Fellow Daoist Yang, have you broken through?"

Upon hearing his question, Yang Ping felt as if he had finally heard what he wanted to hear.

He immediately opened his mouth and rattled off all the words he had been holding back for so long.

"Yes, that's right! Just a minor achievement, I broke through last night~"

"According to the records left by my master in the book, I have broken through to the third level of Qi Refining, and I can now draw intermediate-level talismans."

He said this with a tone full of pride.

Then, he bent down and pointed to the talismans in Li Qingfeng's hand, and began to introduce them one by one.

"This long, narrow one is a 'Swiftness Talisman,' which you tie to your legs so that you don't need to consume mana when using movement techniques."

"This is a Yang Fire Talisman. Stick it on your wooden sword, or throw it directly. It can instantly engulf the enemy in Yang Fire."

"It's extremely lethal; unless it's a target that absolutely needs to be killed, try not to use it..."

As he was explaining with great enthusiasm, Yang Ping paused involuntarily at this point.

Suddenly, I realized that the other party's style of doing things seemed to be that every single time they did it was for the purpose of killing.

Feeling that his added sentence was somewhat superfluous, he continued speaking with a slightly resentful tone.

"Ha... let's continue, let's continue, this is a Vajra Talisman... this is a Water-Repelling Talisman..."

As Yang Ping meticulously introduced the situation, Li Qingfeng's expression gradually shifted from calm to one of shock.

Some of these talismans are enhanced versions of the previous basic talismans, while others are entirely new talismans with effects that were not previously available.

If the previous basic talismans only had a slight auxiliary effect.

At this point, the intermediate-level talismans in my hands can have a surprising effect in certain situations.

Thinking this, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but look up at Yang Ping, who was still talking incessantly about how powerful his talismans were.

There was also a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, in just over a month, Yang Ping went from a novice Taoist priest who was exhausted after drawing a single talisman for half a day.

Now, the renowned superhuman biological researcher from the National Special Operations Bureau can still create such powerful talismans.

Although it is said to be borrowed from external objects, talismans are like pre-stored batteries.

If there are enough of them, it would probably take a lot of effort to defeat Yang Ping in a head-on confrontation.
