Weird Safe House: I became stronger after taking in my roommate!

[Successfully breached the Ghost Realm!]

[Settling the results for this Ghost Realm Survival mission...]

[Spirit Gate Level Lv9, Arrow Tower Level Lv9, Number of Ghosts Killed 762...]

[Congratulations! You have earned the titles of "Most Kills!", "Highest Damage Dealed!", "Last Hit!", and MVP in this C-level Ghost Realm event...]

Final rating: A+!

[Experience +10!]

[Received a C-level reward*1!]

Given Shen Xu's aggressive, offensive style of play, it's no surprise that he won the MVP award.

"C-level reward..."

The Ghost Realm was ended, and the Safe House also gathered the last eerie power, which became Shen Xu's reward for breaking through the Ghost Realm.

In Shen Xu's palm, a metallic blue card suddenly appeared.

[Obtain 1 Beginner Refinement Card: This card can be used on spirit artifacts and strange objects to refine them once, with a chance to permanently improve the quality of the refined object.]

Shen Xu held the refining card in his hand for a moment, then, with a thought, chose to use it immediately.

The next moment, his spiritual artifact, the Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower, appeared and was infused with spiritual light transformed from the card.

Intricate and complex patterns appeared on the tower, with faint, surging crimson flames flickering within.

[Refining complete: Your innate skill, Soul-Burning Refining Array, is inscribed on the artifact. This skill can be activated through the artifact (consuming 300000 spirit fire)]

Burning Heart and Refining Soul Array.

This is a skill that comes with the S-rank talent Nine Netherworld Blaze.

However, innate skills cannot be activated out of thin air; they require a medium.

While inside a safe house, the arrow tower can inherit everything from the talent, including skills.

The fact that the skill is now imprinted on the magical artifact means that Shen Xu can activate the skill at any time!

It can be used not only to deal with ghosts, but also to restrict... people.

Having experienced this incident at Longteng Shopping Mall, Shen Xu naturally understood that in this bizarre era, the danger posed by fellow humans could sometimes surpass that of ghosts.

For example, this ghost realm was actually created by Wang Lei of Black Dragon Company.

"Is it really over?"

Lin Huan's tense nerves finally relaxed.

The headless corpses on the ground were certainly terrifying, but they were nothing compared to the ghost realm we had seen before.

She turned to look at the handsome young boy beside her, her calm and composed demeanor giving off a somewhat aloof air.

Strictly speaking, Lin Huan has seen many handsome men and is not interested in mere good looks.

But in her eyes, Shen Xu was radiating charm at that moment.

"mua~"

She quickly moved closer to Shen Xu and kissed him on the cheek.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Xu frowned and glanced at Lin Huan beside him with a hint of disdain.

This young lady is indeed a hot beauty, but she has a flaw.

He likes to urinate everywhere...

"You go out first, I'll change my clothes."

Shen Xu carried with him the clothes he had just bought that day.

Lin Huan was slightly taken aback, then her pretty face flushed red, and her beautiful eyes revealed a shy yet alluring look: "Daddy, I was wrong, please don't be angry..."

"I can't stand you, you're so old and still acting cute."

Shen Xu was speechless for a moment, then kicked Lin Huan's shapely buttocks.

They kicked the person out and then quickly changed their clothes.

"Aunt Meiyun is still the best."

"She's beautiful, kind-hearted, easy to win over, and considerate and hassle-free."

"This young lady is both stupid and clumsy. After all that trouble, she only has 60 points of bond with him."

"And he's also leaking urine..."

Shen Xu was also helpless, so he casually opened the system panel—

[Safety Officer: Shen Xu]

[Level: Lv1 (40/100)]

[Attributes: Purple Heaven Divine Thunder (S), Nine Netherworld Karmic Fire (S)]

[Spiritual Artifact: Heaven and Earth Soul Suppressing Tower (A)]

[Props: The Principal's Pen (B)]

[Trial: The next trial is in 29 days (requires rank B or above)]

Roommates: Liu Meiyun (exclusive buff in effect), Lin Huan (bond level 60)

……

Looking at his data panel, Shen Xu felt a mix of joy and worry.

Although he had only been a security officer for two days, he had already seen some information disclosed by the Bureau of Mystery Investigation.

The current classification of supernatural forces in the world is quite unified, from lowest to highest: F, D, C, B, A, S!

Although he is still a Level 1 Safety Officer, he already possesses S-level talent, which means that his strength is absolutely top-notch among safety officers of the same level.

This can be seen from the previous confrontation with Wang Lei and Li Fei.

"The previous trial missions only had a countdown timer, but now there's an additional requirement."

"It needs to be at least Rank B... Does that mean the more bizarre events I experience, the higher the trial requirements will be?"

Shen Xu was helpless. C-level and B-level ghost domains were already disasters that could kill hundreds or even thousands of people.

If he's unlucky and experiences a few more bizarre events in these twenty-odd days, wouldn't the next trial be hellishly difficult?

"Unbearable."

Shen Xu shook his head helplessly, changed his clothes, and walked out of the massage parlor.

Lin Huan was talking to a bald man in a leather jacket with a wary expression.

"Dad, you're finally out!"

Upon seeing Shen Xu, she felt as if she had finally found her pillar of support. She immediately hid behind Shen Xu, naturally taking his arm and pressing herself against him.

Dad... Dad?

The bald man was stunned, completely bewildered.

"This is a person, not a ghost."

Shen Xu gave Lin Huan a push, but the young lady stuck to him like glue.

Frustrated, he simply ignored him and instead looked at the bald man in front of him, asking, "What are you doing here?"

The Heaven and Earth Soul-Suppressing Tower within his body was issuing a warning: the person before him was not an ordinary person, but a security officer who controlled strange powers.

"You're Shen Xu?"

The bald man looked Shen Xu up and down, smiled, and extended his hand, saying, "My name is Zhao Bin, and I'm a security officer from the Longcheng City Bureau of Paranormal Investigation. When the strange incident happened at Xiangyang School yesterday, I was on a field mission and was delayed in the rescue... It's truly admirable that you were able to emerge from that situation."

Zhao Bin smiled broadly, clearly displaying a friendly demeanor.

Shen Xu glanced at his outstretched hand but didn't shake it, only nodding slightly: "Oh."

"hehe."

Zhao Bin laughed and said, "Don't be so cold. Murphy should have contacted you. Headquarters really wants to recruit you. Although the Bureau of Investigation has a lot of rules, you have to risk entering the Ghost Realm to save citizens at critical moments... just like today, there will be danger."

"But it's nothing to do with being a hero, and the Investigation Bureau offers pretty good benefits."

"Welcome to the team. We might become colleagues in a while."

Hearing this, Shen Xu smiled slightly and asked, "Do you really want to be my colleague?"

Although he was still young, he was not ignorant of human relationships. This man named Zhao Bin was clearly testing him and definitely did not want him to join the Bureau of Strange Investigations.

Zhao Bin was slightly taken aback, his smile becoming somewhat stiff, but he still forced a nod: "Of course."

"hehe."

Shen Xu smiled, ignored him, and turned to walk out of the mall.

"Dad, slow down!"

Lin Huan quickly followed behind, pulling Shen Xu along, saying, "The Bureau of Mysterious Investigations isn't a good organization either. Why don't you come work for my family's company? I'll talk to my dad and get you a job on the board of directors..."
