“It’s the third day,” Ming Zhu stretched and looked at Lin Rou. “Big sister Lin, how are the inspectors doing?”

“Average,” Lin Rou shook her head, “Yaoguang City has ten inspectors, but only four have passed. The rest couldn’t even collect the basic materials. Only one has reached the third stage, though the total value of the materials he obtained is around a million.”

“The other five counties had a total of ten examinees. Two of them reached the third stage, but unfortunately, only one person killed a sword skeleton soldier. The number of materials they collected was relatively less, around four to five hundred thousand.”

“What about your county?” Ming Zhu asked.

“One of them cleared the second stage and just came out. However, he did so by hiding around and didn’t collect much material. He only collected the fixed materials required for the assessment. He also killed very few fierce beasts,” Lin Rou sighed, “The difficulty of a medium-sized secret realm is still too difficult for these investigators.”

“How is the investigation on Lin Lei going?” Ming Zhu was silent for a moment, “Previously, Commander He of the Yaoguang City Investigation Corps mentioned him to me, saying that the fellow was his trump card. I didn’t expect that something like this would happen.”

“Lin Lei…” Lin Rou thought for a moment, “The research on him turned up that he doesn’t have any background. Rather, his history is quite miserable…”

“Oh?”

“His talent is quite good and was admitted to a beastmaster university later on. Unfortunately, his father wasn’t a decent man. In the past, he had been convicted of smuggling pets and was stripped of many qualifications. Thus, after Lin Lei was admitted to the university, because of his father, he didn’t have the qualifications to go, and he was replaced. When he was three years old, his mother ran away with a man from another country. She didn’t care for him since young.”

“Joining the Investigation Corps was his only way out. As for that mysterious black-robed man behind him, the guy probably wanted to set up a chess piece to infiltrate the Investigation Corps,” Lin Rou shook her head, “To think he attacked his companions for resources. Like father, like son. Fortunately, Wang Ye is quite clever. Otherwise, if Lin Lei had passed the assessment, the Investigation Corps would’ve been put in a passive position.”

“I’ve temporarily sealed the news. Aside from those three investigators and the commanders, no one should know that it was Wang Ye who discovered that there was something wrong with Lin Lei. Otherwise, those fellows from the Dark Fog Cult will definitely target him.”

“You are quite quick,” Ming Zhu chortled, “You do treat Wang Ye as a treasure, huh?”

“What else am I supposed to do?” Lin Rou laughed.

“Then has he come out yet?” Ming Zhu shifted her gaze to the front, her eyes filled with anticipation.

“He should be coming out soon… It’s just that his results are hard to say,” Lin Rou thought for a moment, “It wasn’t easy for him to even clear the second stage. After that, he first chopped down that mutated purple-thunder jacaranda, then battled Lin Lei. He must have used up a lot of energy, so he shouldn’t have gained much in the third stage. Still, he should be able to make it into the top ten. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to get a reward of a few hundred thousand. Or, Miss Ming, can you help him out a bit more?”

“We’ve already sponsored quite a bit of evolution materials for him,” Ming Zhu shook her head helplessly, somewhat depressed, “Yet the green sparrow hasn’t evolved yet. After my brother found out about it, he gave me a good scolding. He said that even if Mingguang was rich, I shouldn’t waste money like this…”

At this moment, an investigator outside said, “Commander, Wang Ye is out!”

The few of them immediately walked out of the temporary tent.

“You’re Wang Ye, right?”

Wang Ye had just walked out of the secret realm when a man with a full beard walked over from afar.

The man had a thick body and he looked like a black bear walking upright as he came from afar.

It was worth mentioning that there was indeed a huge bear-form pet beside him.

It was a black and white bear, a panda, a very classic pet beast.

The panda was more than three meters tall, matching the man’s body size perfectly.

“You are?” Wang Ye was stunned.

“My Name Is He Xiong, the commander of Yaoguang City’s Investigation Corps,” The man laughed, “You did a good job! You helped our Investigation Corps a lot!”

Wang Ye was confused.

What did he do?

When did anything he did have to do with the Yaoguang City Investigation Corps?

“Come, come, come. Let’s see your results first! It doesn’t matter if your results are low. You can consider coming to the Yaoguang Investigation Corps then,” He Xiong was full of smiles, “Our treatment and benefits are much higher than those offered in the Anping Investigation Corps. You don’t have a second pet, right? If you come over, we offer a one-stop service for pet resources and evolution!”

“…”

“He Xiong, do you have a death wish? You’re trying to recruit one of my men right in front of me?” From Afar, Lin Rou walked over and sneered, “Get lost!”

He Xiong smiled and took two steps back, “Lin Rou, I don’t want to say this, but the Anping County is indeed quite inferior in all aspects. I think this kid’s talent is not bad… It would be a waste to leave him in Anping County.”

Lin Rou ignored him and walked to Wang Ye, “How was it?”

“It’s alright,” Wang Ye nodded.

After leaving the third stage, he stayed in the secret realm for a while.

He felt that the secret realm was actually quite big and there should be quite a lot of treasures. He might not even be able to finish exploring it in three days.

Lin Rou nodded and brought Wang Ye to the assessment room.

Inside was a bunch of senior investigators sorting out the materials, then handing them over to the Mingguang Enterprise staff next to them for a materials’ value estimation.

“Wang Ye, it’s finally your turn,” Xu Hu, who was the one to have brought Wang Ye to a secret realm for the first time, smiled. “Few investigators have come out today. Come, let me see your gains.”

“Let’s talk about the basic assessment materials first,” Xu Hu took out three material templates, “The Linggu flower, the Lingguang herb, and the skeleton of demon skeleton ghosts. The assessment requires the investigator to have five stalks of each of the first two, and two sets of skeletons. The excess can be sold to Mingguang Enterprise for gold coins. Those who collect more can usually double the price. How is it? How many have you collected?”

“I collected a bag,” Wang Ye said.

“???” Everyone was stunned.

Following this, Wang Ye walked over and put down the large heavy-duty bag he was carrying. Then, he pulled the zipper and turned the bag upside down, shaking it.

In the next moment, countless materials fell out of the bag like a waterfall.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The senior investigators who were sorting out the materials were also dumbfounded.

It was as if this was the first time they had seen so many materials.

The scene was very quiet.

Wang Ye shook the bag for a minute before he finally finished emptying it.

“You… you… Did you go to the secret realm to stock up?” Xu Hu was shocked.

“It’s just good luck, good luck,” Wang Ye waved his hand.

Xu Hu immediately called his two companions and they quickly began to calculate.

In just a few minutes, the corners of Xu Hu’s mouth twitched as he said, “One hundred and ten Linggu flowers, one hundred and five Linguang herb. What I don’t understand is you got more than thirty skeletons. The skeletons will only form after the demon skeleton ghost dies… One demon skeleton ghost is already very difficult to deal with, but you killed more than thirty?”

Wang Ye said in his heart, “If it weren’t for the fact that my backpack was almost full, there wouldn’t be just thirty.”

“It was all luck,” Wang Ye said. “Some were dug up, some were picked up.”

“…” Everyone.

Silence.

Wasn’t his luck a little too good?

“Are there any more?”

“Yes, yes,” Wang Ye took out a small bag that looked like a schoolbag and poured out some of the materials given by the giant tree.

“The purple-lightning jacaranda flower!” Xu Hu was stunned, “You got this rare intermediate thunder-type material from the second stage?”

“Yes.”

Xu Hu began to count the materials in detail.

“Did you go to the third stage? Are there any more?” Xu Hu asked.

“I only got some sword skeletons in the third stage,” Wang Ye said.

“Some?” Xu Hu’s voice trembled.

The others also looked at Wang Ye with a strange look.

“Kid, don’t brag,” He Xiong, who was watching from the side, had been very silent, but couldn’t help but say after hearing these words, “The sword skeleton soldiers are extremely difficult to deal with among the level 2 fierce beasts. Among the investigators from Yaoguang City who have sat for the assessment this time, only two have obtained a sword skeleton. What do you mean by ‘some’?”

“This is what I mean…” Wang Ye took out a small pouch from his pocket and poured out sword-shaped skeletons that were more than 10 centimeters in size as if he was showing his toys.

The room was instantly filled with gasps.
