100: Ready to depart

A few hours after parting with Wei Guangming, Zhou Xing headed straight to the "Old Tavern."

The exterior of the Old Tavern had a quaint, antique look that possessed a unique charm.

Pushing open the wooden door of the "Old Tavern," Zhou Xing smelled a fragrance of wine mixed with a faint scent of blood.

Not far away, an enchanting woman wearing a tight, high-slit qipao was leaning against the bar counter, wiping a glass.

"Oh, welcome to my small shop, please have a seat."

Seeing Zhou Xing enter, the proprietress put down the glass in her hand and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him warmly.

"You look unfamiliar, handsome. Is this your first time here? This is the menu, see what you'd like to drink?"

As she spoke, the proprietress handed an exquisite menu to Zhou Xing.

The front displayed various drinks, while the back featured some delicate snacks and a few specialty dishes.

"I need a cup of Blood Wolf Drink," Zhou Xing said after casually glancing at the menu.

"Our guest really has a unique eye. Blood Wolf Drink is meant for slow sipping and has a unique flavor. Would you like ice or lemon with that?"

A sharp light flashed through the proprietress's eyes for a fleeting moment, and then she asked politely.

"Just add some sugar," Zhou Xing said directly.

Immediately, the proprietress's movements froze. She hurried out of the tavern to hang a "Closed" sign, and after locking the tavern door, she turned and walked close to Zhou Xing: "Follow me."

Zhou Xing stood up and followed the proprietress to a basement.

The entire basement looked full of technology, and at this moment, the proprietress took out a holographic tablet.

She pulled up an agreement: "I really didn't expect The Officials to successfully recruit you. Take a look at this agreement and then sign your name. Only after it's completed can I hand the items over to you."

As she spoke, she kept sizing up Zhou Xing.

After all, during this time, Zhou Xing's big name had already spread throughout Dawn City.

As an intelligence officer planted in Dawn City by The Officials, she was naturally very well aware of this.

Plus, Headquarters had just contacted her, and only then did she learn that Zhou Xing had originally belonged to a special operations squad of The Officials.

Triple-element Fusion—this was her first time seeing it.

What a pity, The Officials actually let such a good seed leave back then.

Zhou Xing checked the agreement; there wasn't much to it, nothing more than arranging an identity for him and such, so he simply signed his name.

Subsequently, she took out a black square communicator from under the counter: "This is a global communicator that can connect to the kunlun system, and it comes with quite a few functions. You can open it now to confirm your identity and activate it."

Zhou Xing nodded. After activation, a holographic interface popped up on the communicator, displaying various functional permissions.

Zhou Xing immediately saw the "Kunlun Vault." After clicking it, a detailed list of treasures appeared:

1. "Tianshu Battle Armor" (Requires 500 contribution points)

2. "Detailed Analysis of Divinity Fragments" (Requires 500 contribution points)

3. Three-pattern Fire Source Flower (Requires 1000 contribution points)

...There were many more good things behind them, but unfortunately, Zhou Xing's authority was insufficient to exchange for them.

His authority ultimately only allowed him to exchange for items within 5000 contribution points, and he could freely choose two at a time.

"Every month, 30 attribute-less divinity crystals, as well as the items you exchange for from the vault, will be delivered to the stronghold in the City of Vigilance. Once you arrive there, Old K will contact you."

The proprietress spoke beside Zhou Xing at this moment.

"Fine, I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."

Casually putting the communicator into his space ring, Zhou Xing stood up, intending to leave.

After walking out of the Old Tavern, Zhou Xing returned to the Pavilion of Numerous Stars.

The Chiefs of many large cities had already left Dawn City with their contestants, and the Pavilion of Numerous Stars was much quieter than before.

Currently, only people from Flame City, Star City, and Luo City were still there.

Because of Li Qing's matter, Gu Qianjun was also very helpless at this time, but he had already received a reply.

Later, Dawn City would arrange for a Celestial Phenomenon Realm Awakened One to escort them back to Luo City, and this person would also serve as the new Lord of Luo City.

In the Listening Rain Pavilion, Bei Chen and Zhou Xing were staying together at this moment.

"Tomorrow you will be heading to the City of Vigilance. To be honest, this time the entire Star City, including myself, has benefited from your success."

Looking at Zhou Xing beside him, Bei Chen had a face full of emotion.

Ever since he knew about Zhou Xing's situation, he had already anticipated this day.

When Zhou Xing actually obtained a slot and was in first place, he still found it hard to hide his excitement.

Plus, the performance of the others from Star City this time was quite good, and the rewards from Dawn City would be enough to significantly boost the overall strength of Star City.

Qin Yue and the others also received a significant reward, enough to support their Cultivate for a long time.

"Speaking of which, this journey feels like being rushed along; it's too hurried. I haven't stayed in Star City or Dawn City for long before having to leave."

Zhou Xing also had a face full of emotion at this time.

Since Awakening the System and joining The Watchers, he felt as if an invisible giant hand was pushing him forward.

"It's normal. It will only truly begin once you enter the Special Training Camp; there, you will witness another world."

The Blue Star is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface; you will understand in the future."

A look of reminiscence flashed in Bei Chen's eyes.

As for what Bei Chen said, Zhou Xing had already learned quite a bit through Wei Guangming.

"Chief, I'll leave Qin Yue and the others to you."

Zhou Xing then said to Bei Chen.

Bei Chen patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll have arrangements for them later and will put them to good use. As for you..."

He glanced at Zhou Xing, "The Special Training Camp is a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons; remember to protect yourself."

Zhou Xing nodded.

At dawn, everything was ready. Under the leadership of Wei Guangming, the six of them would personally head to the Watchers Headquarters, the City of Vigilance.

Zhou Xing stood on the huge helipad of Dawn City at this time, looking into the distance. Zhou Keer naturally followed; there was no way around it, as Zhou Xing didn't feel safe leaving her in Dawn City.

He had already spoken about this with Wei Guangming and had received his consent.

After arriving at the City of Vigilance, Zhou Keer would be allowed to temporarily reside in Wei Guangming's residence.

It is very safe there and not far from the Special Training Camp.

Moreover, Zhou Keer's situation was completely different compared to most of the Divinity Eroded.

Ordinary people couldn't sense it, but Wei Guangming could feel a faint but powerful fluctuation coming from Zhou Keer's body.

If she could undergo Awakening, it would be like The Watchers gaining another Genius.

Behind him, Wei Guangming was briefing Elder Tongxuan on some matters.

"Remember, the Self-inspection Operation must be conducted in secret. Any suspicious personnel must be detained immediately."

Wei Guangming's voice was low, "Especially those who have had close contact with the Divine Gene; they must be strictly investigated. Not a single one must be allowed to escape the net."

Elder Tongxuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Xing and the other five not far away.

These six people are considered the most outstanding six of the entire Xia Country Watchers; one can only wonder if they will be able to grow up smoothly.
