24: Chapter 12 Private Work 24: Chapter 12 Private Work “Night General?” Li Yelai looked at his codename with slight regret.

He had actually communicated his preference to the higher-ups, wanting to obtain the codename “Gunman.”

After all, he would later be using the gun technique known as Single-handed Eighteen Strokes.

Bearing the name Gunman wouldn’t be too much.

Cheese, on the other hand, suggested taking the codename “Snow Leopard” so they could form the Cheese Snow Leopard duo.

Li Yelai didn’t understand the cleverness behind it, nor did he see what Cheese and Snow Leopard could possibly combine to do.

In any case, it seemed that the leaders disagreed with either choice.

“What’s wrong with Gunman?

Don’t they know that all historical warriors were experts with spears?

Xiang Yu, Ma Chao, Zhao Zilong, Yue Fei, Gao Chong…”

The young Li Yelai internally criticized, thinking the higher-ups were being too stingy.

Then, Li Yelai accepted Cheese’s group invitation.

Cheese had mentioned this yesterday.

They could contact various Processors on the communicator, and forming a small group would allow for easier contact.

After joining the small group initiated by Cheese, Li Yelai discovered that the others were all familiar faces.

Starfire, Detective, Shadow Stream, Cheese, Heavy Knight—all were newcomers from the current batch at the East City Branch except for Cheese.

At this moment, noticing Li Yelai’s addition to the group chat, Cheese spoke up.

“Welcome, Night General…

too bad you didn’t choose Snow Leopard,” Cheese sent a cry-laughing emoji.

Li Yelai typed back, “My choice of Gunman wasn’t accepted either.

I don’t know why.”

“Oh, I know about that.

They say with your luck, daring to choose the codename Gunman could get you struck by lightning any minute!

It’s protection from above or something…” Cheese replied with an emoji, “I don’t really understand why either.

Maybe it’s a secret only accessible to high-level perception Processors.”

Being struck by lightning as a gunman?

Li Yelai frowned, suspecting the higher-ups knew some mysterious information.

But he didn’t really care; it was just a codename, and Night General was not too bad either.

“Alright, now that you’ve got your codename, you’re officially a Processor.

When you have time, check out the forum to expand your knowledge.

If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask in the group,” Cheese said.

“Also, find some time to familiarize yourself with your Spiritual Ability Equipment and forge some gear.”

“Got it!” Li Yelai responded and then left the small group to click into the forum.

This forum was a recent shared communication platform for all official Spiritual Ability Users across the Giant Cities.

Many experienced Processors shared their expertise or discussed issues there.

It served as a pathway for exchanging ideas with other Giant Cities’ Processors.

Of course, some confidential information wasn’t disclosed.

There were all sorts of posts.

[Molten Lava Mine City Processing Department obtains Magic Potion Recipe for the Third Awakening specific ability of Path of Babbling.

One potion sold for 300 Merit Points, other Giant Cities need to pay an additional 10% service charge, transportation fee 10 Merit Points.]

[No.2 Border City discovers Class B Taboo Item – Unsheep.

Deployment of two full squads achieved successful suppression!

Suppression tutorial…]

[No.3 Border City, Ember Church summoning Void Realm Creatures using wicked sacrifice, killed by a rookie with a single stab!]

[No.1 Border City, a Processor successfully completes the Fifth Awakening, congratulations!]

Posts filled the page, some even concerning himself.

Li Yelai smiled internally, clicked on the post, and saw a video clip.

It showed him plummeting from the sky and stabbing a creature.

The video’s low resolution didn’t capture his face or his mask.

The comments below the post mostly read, “Is this a rookie?

Awesome!”

“Why not come to our Molten Lava Mine City!”

“Good move dropping from the sky with a gun…

or rather, swordsmanship!”

“Whose deputy is this?”

These were non-nutritious taunts.

Then, Li Yelai continued to look for posts and finally saw his actual target.

[List of Spiritual Ability Equipment amongst Giant Cities]

This listed a large number of officially recorded Spiritual Ability Equipment, including their effects and prices.

This was truly Li Yelai’s main goal, even one of the main reasons he became a Processor.

He needed to find an item that could suppress his sister’s curse.

Soon, he spotted several items capable of doing that.

[Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet] suppresses the spiritual energy of others and oneself and can also suppress some curses, distortion risk zero.

Priced at 80 Merit Points.

Located in No.1 Border City, so an additional 10 points for transportation.

Total 90 points.

[Isolation Scarf] highly effective at isolating curses around the clock, but its efficacy on strong curses from high-level Spiritual Ability Users is unclear, distortion risk low.

Priced at 200 Merit Points in Molten Lava Mine City, plus shipping costs 210 points.

[Spirit-Breaking Branch] from Disaster Forbidden Zone, Mist Dragon Forest.

Greatly dispels spiritual energy and temporarily suppresses curses, distortion risk medium.

Priced at 800 Merit Points, only purchasable by Processors of Third Awakening or higher.

There were not a few items for suppressing curses, but none were cheap.

Li Yelai, currently possessing 30 Merit Points, was considered wealthy among newcomers.

Yet, he could not afford any…

However, those costly ones weren’t necessary either; their effects were stronger, but the distortion risks were too high, unsafe.

Li Yelai didn’t dare use such dangerous items on his sister.

Perhaps the risk-free Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet was more suitable.

90 Merit Points was not too unattainable.

Within half a year, if Li Yelai took on more missions, perhaps he could gather the required amount.
