“Although you haven’t made much of a contribution, you have the right to choose one of these two holy relics as your spoils.”

Shen Luoyan spoke with a bad attitude.

“Really?”

Li Mu was excited, if he could get his hands on a holy relic for free, that would be great.

After the previous battle, he found that he couldn’t use Shock Calamity openly, and now he desperately needed an offensive holy relic.

Shock Calamity was sharp and unmatched when it came to killing ordinary enemies and mutated creatures, but it was somewhat weak when facing the Bloodthirsty Beasts.

If he could kill them with one blow, then his battle with the Bloodthirsty Beasts wouldn’t be so strenuous.

“Then I’ll choose the Beast of Darkness.”

The Beast of Darkness can comprehensively enhance physical fitness, including perception and resistance to impact, and can make up for his weak defense. The effect of Hidden Breath is good, but it is too suppressed by psychic lie detectors.

Shen Luoyan smiled, pressed her finger to her pink lips, and said to Li Mu:

“You are indeed a selfish scumbag, Mr. Li Mu.”

“Ha?”

Li Mu was a little confused.

“The young lady from East Xia in the back seat is very good with firearms, isn’t she?”

Shen Luoyan noticed Li Mei’s accurate and deadly shooting during the battle:

“For a sniper who is afraid of close combat, Hidden Breath can be a very valuable holy relic. You can use it once you become a lie detector.”

Because few lie detectors leave East Xia, Li Mei has not exposed her identity as a lie detector.

When psychic lie detectors use psychic beams to detect their surroundings, they don’t immediately open up 360-degree vision, and they can also be disturbed by terrain and more easily deceived by other psychic lie detectors.

Therefore, for those awakened individuals who use firearms and have a very long attack range, the effect of Hidden Breath is very significant.

Li Mu remembered the scene where Li Mei had solved the power armor like cutting vegetables, and smiled.

“And, Beast of Darkness has a side effect, it will make your body hair grow very lush along with enhancing your physique. Meirweir is a good example.”

Shen Luoyan said.

Li Mu leaned his chin on his hand, the disadvantage of having lush body hair was not much of an issue for him, on the other hand, he no longer had the risk of balding.

“Still choose Hidden Breath.”

Li Mei from the back seat decisively inserted herself into the conversation. She just imagined Li Mu becoming like Meirweir and shuddered. And in a certain sense, Hidden Breath was indeed very useful for her as an awakened individual who attacks at close, medium, and long ranges.

“A normal star-level holy relic on the market is worth 800 Lasu, and the market price of Hidden Breath is around 1,200 Lasu. You really are throwing money around, just for a smile from a beauty.”

Shen Luoyan said somewhat coldly.

Li Mu was somewhat confused, no matter what he chooses, it seems to be wrong. And Shen Luoyan’s attitude gave him a very strange feeling. Even a normal woman would maintain a certain social distance during their first meeting.

But Shen Luoyan was deliberately or unconsciously closing the distance between the two, which is usually a specialty of some green tea teasers.

He searched his memories, but could not find any fragments about Shen Luoyan. A woman like Shen Luoyan, with just one meeting, should have left a deep impression.

“Is there still a holy relic for sale in Avonigarda City?”

800 Lasu was a sky-high price for ordinary people, the farm he saw in the area of Orissa had an annual income of only 200 Lasu.

But in the Exile World, the products were abundant, and the constantly flowing pure water was a massive wealth. This amount of money was not beyond his means.

The only obstacle was the channel of shipment.

“All things in the world have a price, even the holy relics that bring strength. In the Sky Tower of Avonigarda City, sales and exchanges of holy relics and even wonders are often organized.”

Shen Luoyan said.

“However, if you want to obtain the holy relic, as a security officer, you have your own channels. You can get corresponding points for striking cults, capturing fugitives, and cracking down on malicious cases. If there are no problems with the end-of-year assessment, there will also be a fixed number of points to exchange for descender skeletons and holy relics.”

As the grassroots armed force of the Xingdu Federation, the Federation naturally will not let them have no way to enhance their strength.

The car stopped at the entrance of the security headquarters. The building of the headquarters was very grand, towering and strictly guarded, requiring climbing dozens of marble steps to enter. On each step, there were two armed sentries on duty.

Li Mu stood under the steps and gazed at the headquarters.

After the disaster, the level of life of the powerful has not changed at all, and in some ways it has even improved.

Led by Shen Luoyan, the three of them went smoothly and entered the headquarters.

As soon as they entered the door, Li Mu felt the air clear and the almost ubiquitous radiation dust on the wasteland disappeared here. The huge air purification device installed in the security headquarters filtered out almost all of the radiation dust in the air.

The shining marble floor tiles and tall Romanesque columns made this place resemble a palace more than a security headquarters.

There are thousands of people working in the headquarters, and the noisy first floor office area is like a vegetable market. People with files in hand run quickly from time to time.

The majority of the states in the Xingdu Federation adopt a policy of strengthening the stem and weakening the branches, enhancing the power of the capital, while the vast wilderness can be maintained as long as the rule exists.

Maintaining the security of Avonigarda City, especially in the West District, is a challenging task. Four-fifths of the security officers in Avonigarda City belong to the entire Avonigarda Province.

And the West District’s security officers and staff make up three-fifths of the entire Avonigarda City.

Li Mu, dressed in the black robes of the Soul Cult, caused a small disturbance at headquarters. Li Mu glanced at these security officers, who were either thin or full of fat, more like clerks and merchants than security officers, and he understood why the Soul Cult dared to openly ambush security officers and inspectors in Avonigarda City.

He was out of place here, as if a tiger had entered a flock of sheep.

The office of the head of security was on the top floor, and Shen Luoyan pressed the elevator button. The gold-plated elevator door slowly opened.

A man was already standing in the elevator, wearing a meticulous suit, his brown skin well-groomed, his hair polished with hair wax and shining, dressed neatly.

A strong scent of classic dragon cologne came to his face, making Li Mu sneeze twice.

If he was not sure he was in a post-apocalyptic world, Li Mu even had the feeling of meeting a young entrepreneur in the capital.

“We meet again, Miss Shen.”

Shen Luoyan ignored him, her face as cold as frost, and pressed the button for the other elevator on the side.

The Xingdu man was not upset, he walked out of the elevator. He glanced at Li Mu and his two companions, walked away slowly, and a meaningless smile appeared on his face.
