Chapter 2187 - 2182: All-In

Chapter 2187: Chapter 2182: All-In

At the time, it just seemed ordinary; fortunately, Fu Qian didn’t have much of this inertia in thought.

For him, noticing the anomaly at the task summary location even came before the task summary itself.

And now, seeing that everything can almost be confirmed as normal.

The shelves, the long table, the items... even the feeling under his buttocks.

Everything was just as when returning from a usual task.

Including the Emissary’s Mask that was even placed on the table in front of him.

So what does this situation mean?

Has the warehouse fully regained its vitality to the extent that it can now extend its reach into the Witch’s world?

The fact that there was no need to send a message at the start of the previous task, and that there was no option to abandon it, seems to somewhat support this conclusion.

In fact, if this is truly the case, at first glance, it is all a good thing.

Having an additional Town Recall Technique will make some operations much more flexible.

The problem is that, at the same time, these manifestations also support another conclusion—the warehouse dragged itself back directly.

What happens if you wear the Emissary’s Mask in front of you again and it directly locates to the Bookstore World?

Maybe it’s not entirely without benefits, as it could mean bypassing the trouble of returning through the Nightmare Corridor this time, but don’t forget that there’s unfinished business on that side.

This was an opportunity for scientific research that was won with great effort; trying to replicate it in the short term won’t be easy.

Moreover, he actually doesn’t mind finding opportunities to chat with the people in the Corridor.

For now, if he puts on the Emissary’s Mask again, it seems there’s more uncertainty about where he will end up...

So much so that now, even staying here a little longer becomes risky.

You can see the bloodstains on the Emissary’s Mask recovering as usual.

And from past experience, the bloodstains represent the positioning of the Bookstore.

Although strictly speaking, this doesn’t count as too big a loss.

Because Fu Qian is feeling that his own wounds are recovering as slowly as stillness.

This means that the warehouse wouldn’t leave such a big loophole for him to exploit.

Given the time is virtually at a standstill in the outside world, if he truly became the Abandonment King and could sit here to recover, then the previous special reminders would be pointless.

In short, after obtaining a decent reward, it seems that the bad news keeps coming—

[Permission Upgrade: All-In]

Perhaps feeling guilty, the next moment the warehouse continued to give a new prompt.

And it’s a very rare type of promotion without a raise.

[All-In: Except for certain special tasks, subsequently, all containment will have only one chance. Upon failure, 5 SAN Points will be automatically deducted, no need to repeat the task]

...

Oh?

Is this an option to "evade" right after the procrastination of Re-Assignment?

Although Fu Qian had thought before, what the upgrade would look like if it happened.

But since there hadn’t been any movement for a long time, this sudden prompt was undoubtedly unexpected.

Yet he has to admit that it indeed counts as a permission upgrade.

As for the content, although it doesn’t involve adding benefits and such, Fu Qian gave it a fair assessment.

It seems there’s only one chance, completely blocking the possibility of multiple rounds of trial and error, and even imposing an extra SAN Points penalty if failed.

But for most people, this is equivalent to giving a right to voluntarily give up.

As long as a certain task completion rate is ensured, scenarios where a task becomes a deadlock won’t occur again.

Very humanized, although due to the warehouse’s permission upgrade mechanism not being very transparent, one may doubt how many people can hold up to this humanization.

Moreover, that’s from a normal person’s perspective, for someone like him who finds joy from work, the expectation seems to have increased instead.

[Today’s task has been completed, you may leave the warehouse, weekly work progress 2/4]

Amidst the silent assessments, finally, this time there was no new surprise from the warehouse, reminding him that he can leave now.

Just in time for such a thought.

Fu Qian, who had been constantly watching the bloodstains on the mask, immediately picked it up and put it on.

...

The aroma of black tea.

Almost immediately, Fu Qian noticed a reassuring smell.

Sure enough, he hadn’t missed the latter half of the tea break, and it was still Mrs. Harper’s place in front of him.

The previous efforts were not in vain, as he hadn’t been dragged back to the Bookstore World directly by the warehouse.

Although, this makes the nature of the latter’s actions a bit more astonishing.

Have they truly mastered the Witch’s side to such a degree? Have the warehouse’s sinister hands covered another world?

If this is true, there’s no doubt that as an Administrator, he has made an indelible contribution, such as crossing dimensions twice by force and completing those tasks successively.

Recalling his actions, Fu Qian naturally took a sip from the teacup in front of him.

"Wait, I have a bit more food here."

Seemingly able to feel Fu Qian’s seriousness in savoring the taste, Mrs. Harper’s gaze was full of comfort, and in the next moment, she seemed to recall something, signaling Fu Qian and his companion to wait a bit.

It was apparent that although his body was shattered, there was nothing strange about Fu Qian’s condition that she could detect.

The reason is simple, the armor hadn’t been damaged, still tightly wrapped, plus the cover-up previously helped by the Witch.

And since he was originally using his true face, there was no need for any disguise.

"What’s the situation?"

But for the Dark Moon Cult Leader, Niel Glegorya, these things were of no consequence, almost immediately looking over.

Her tone was calm, yet carried a cold determination.

Not surprising, even in the blink of an eye, the Temple Knight sitting below suddenly had a massive blood bar drop, how could the Pontiff take it lightly?

The surroundings didn’t show any movement.

"Went back once."

Fu Qian nodded briefly, speaking truthfully.

...

The intentional reservation on warehouse matters was not due to a lack of trust in the Witch.

In multiple dealings, it’s clear she had some sense of the existence behind Fu Qian helping him grow quickly and even possessing certain degrees of temporal control.

The core reason for not being too specific about the warehouse was the hope that she could maintain relative transcendence.

Although young, it’s hard to define the Witch completely as a New God, and the warehouse’s attitude towards Ancient Supremes has never been friendly.

Perhaps the previous tasks didn’t show any targeted intent, but on the one hand, the warehouse’s control may have increased, and on the other, it’s hard to say if knowing more definitely about Him would trigger some reactive behavior.

Moreover, given that characters like the Destiny Snake have no concept of giving due respect to the warehouse, Fu Qian doesn’t expect the Witch to provide much reference.

"And then you can come back again?"

Clearly, she was also adept at grasping key points, without doubting the Temple Knight’s words, the Witch instantly realized the nature represented by such an experience.

He went back once, yet returned without any waves, this ease is indeed somewhat opposed to prior understandings.
