Chapter 394: Chapter 189: Sir, May I Get You Something to Drink? (Part 3)

The reason for targeting this ship is because Wa Xueming used his underground influence in Northern Myanmar to find out from the Philippines that the previous stop on this route comes from the Xia Kingdom!

At the same time, Zeng Dan also received information from the cabinet government that a few days ago, police officers from the Xia Kingdom were dispatched to cooperate with the Japanese police in a joint effort to combat international crime.

Gu Ji conducted a quick check.

It turns out that the Xia Country Ministry of Public Security had started dispatching police liaison officers to Japan as early as last November. This is also the first time that such specialized officers have been stationed at Xia’s embassies and consulates abroad.

Intuition told him that this matter is likely related to the Yijuan Association and Sun Hengfei’s gang case.

Sure enough, before long, the joint police team soon approached Jian Na, and the Xia Kingdom police were here because of her mother’s affairs.

Unexpected, yet within reason.

Through Jian Na’s description, the three police officers turned out to be Shi Zhengmin, Zeng Dan, and Chen Zhiyu. No wonder this girl disappeared again; she had gone abroad.

Theoretically, national security personnel are not allowed to leave the country at will, and no country would welcome intelligence agency personnel. Therefore, they used this case as an excuse to change their identity, likely carrying out some special mission.

However, the Yijuan Association’s influence in Japan is very large.

For a while, national security couldn’t uncover any valuable clues, which is quite normal. Solving a major case often isn’t accomplished in one go; it can take months, half a year, or even years, especially with international cases.

Fortunately, the progress on Baron’s side was good, so Jian Na wasn’t anxious.

Time reached the 21st day.

Gu Ji’s treasure chest cooldown finally ended.

He took the opportunity after dinner to jump onto the bed, facing the moon outside the window, absorbing its “essence,” then closing his eyes tightly and clasping his hands.

[Do you want to spend 6 crisis points to open the blue mark and item treasure chest?]

[Yes!]

A flash of blue light, and the three black spade-shaped steel treasure chests began to shake violently. Every time this happened, Gu Ji’s mood became extremely tense. He didn’t ask for great wealth, just that his efforts wouldn’t be in vain.

Crash, the treasure chest shattered.

[Congratulations on obtaining the blue mark: Endurance Enhancement (Medium), Emergency Evacuation Mastery (Medium), blue item: Mark Slot Activation Device!]

“Awesome, awesome!”

Staring at the game text glowing soft blue in front of him, Gu Ji’s eyes were almost popping out, especially at the last one.

Blue [Mark Slot Activation Device]: Can freely activate one attribute panel mark slot. (This is a very rare item, haha, it seems your luck is good, player!)

Initially, Gu Ji planned to use the remaining crisis points to enhance those previous white marks, but now with an extra slot, his options increased!

Firstly, he used the slot activation device, preparing to embed the Emergency Evacuation Mastery mark.

This thing was one of the top two reward choices in the India flood level, with the most important attribute being a 17% increase in brain activity under crisis conditions. It’s well known that people often experience a brain freeze in crisis situations, so increasing flexibility might provide a small advantage in critical moments, boosting survival chances.

For the remaining endurance mark, Gu Ji planned to replace it with the Combat Specialization.

Because he now had two white marks at hand, Combat and Hearing.

The latter has provided critical assistance in several high-risk scenarios, whereas the former’s usage scenarios are more limited, plus he already possesses close-quarters combat skills from the mobile unit.

Of course, Gu Ji didn’t really plan to give up on combat.

He thought the mark system is much like the rune or emblem system in LOL or Honor of Kings, where different levels, enemies require different mark setups, akin to special police preparing various equipment before missions.

Anyway, he still had some crisis points in reserve.

If the next level rewards another white mark, he could upgrade Combat to blue.

After replacing the endurance mark, Gu Ji felt his whole body lighten considerably, and his breathing became smoother than before.

Time flew by quickly.

In Japan, there wasn’t much activity, nor was there any news about Jian Na’s mother. However, there have been frequent incidents of violence, and Wa Xueming finally, with Bai Maoliang’s arrangement, went to Japan with his son Bai Mingliang to discuss cooperation with the Yijuan Association.

Through Wa Xueming and Chaojun’s analysis, it was believed that the Bai Family likely intended to exchange drugs from Northern Myanmar for the Yijuan Association’s “paradise” hallucinogen.

At this point, the three “generals” of Unit 7472’s advance team had gathered in Japan.

By mid-December, Gu Ji finally endured until his Central Nervous System attribute was fully enhanced.

After work on Friday,

he returned home early, filled his stomach in advance, and laid sideways on the bed, like an eager teenager, impatiently opening the level interface.

Now, two rounds have passed since the last classic level. According to probability theory, the chance for Gu Ji to trigger a classic level is very high.

“I wonder if I’ll encounter the level of my dad’s plane crash, it should count as an accident disaster…”

With a touch of regret and anticipation.

[Before entering the level, would you like to equip the remaining items?]

[Yes!]

Having the previous round’s experience, this time Gu Ji didn’t bring the Ghost Server. This item remains in the game inventory, and it’s best to borrow the game’s ability in reality. Moreover, the server is currently his only rare item that can contact the game characters. If it accidentally gets damaged, Unit 7472 would probably “collapse halfway through the venture.”

[Loading crisis at random…]

[Modern level successfully loaded! This round’s crisis: Hell Drop; Crisis type: Accident Disaster; Crisis level: Red (Severe); Impact range: Local; Remaining time: 46 hours 23 minutes 54 seconds…]

Back to a local regional crisis?

Gu Ji noticed that the task specification had changed, and the time limit for this task was somewhat tight.

But before he had time to think, as the text progressed, that familiar dizziness struck again, spinning his surroundings into an endless terrifying whirlpool.

It felt cold and despairing.

…

…

“Sir, hello, we’ve prepared 7-Up, Coke, orange juice, tomato juice, coffee, tea, and water for you. What would you like to drink?”

“Sir?”
