Chapter 740: Chapter 207 A Twist of Fate Leads to a Meeting (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3
[The sun rises in the east and all things revive. Welcome back to the Tai Chu Scroll, great master!]
[Today’s number of openings: 3/3]
The Tai Chu Scroll was refreshed.
Xu Shu felt a slight relief in his heart.
His strength had greatly increased, and with the Tai Chu Scroll as a life-saving measure, his safety factor had significantly risen, but he was not in a hurry to use it today.
Today’s chances had to be saved for a rainy day in case he fell into some "ruins of the dead" again.
Just like yesterday, if the Tai Chu Scroll hadn’t had any chances left to use the "Journey Superdimensional Mode" to understand the enemy’s details and deplete Edric’s energy, he really wouldn’t have been confident that he could survive.
Today, the Esoteric Buddhists had been plotting for a long time and were bound to erupt, certainly more dangerous than yesterday.
Thus, Xu Shu had already made up his mind to be cautious today, firmly resolving not to be overly ambitious or take reckless risks.
Relying on the Tai Chu Scroll’s availability to forcefully engage in a do-or-die battle with those Third-Rank Divine Chosen?
Xu Shu had no intention of being so rash.
He was simply going to play a supporting role on the edge of the battlefield.
As long as he didn’t forcefully get involved in top-tier battles, with his own strength, he would be safe.
"Hmm, once I receive any messages, I will pick the weaker enemies to fight."
"If there’s a suspected Divine Chosen situation, I’ll deliver the information to Bai Sanxiang immediately!"
"Powerful enemies should be handled by the real Third-tier Experts like Bai Sanxiang."
"King against king, general against general, after all, I’m only Second Rank, fighting against enemies of the same rank is both reasonable and appropriate, not slacking at all."
Having settled on this plan in his mind, Xu Shu walked toward the school, planning to roam near the school and wait to escort his sister back to the Judgement Department after her classes.
While thinking through this, Xu Shu straightened his back and activated the Promotion Drive.
Moreover, he minimized the light screen interface to the thickness of two fingers, placing it over his sunglasses as a disguise.
Next, he opened the chat interface, entered the password 2142D8B3, and joined a thread named [United Front Channel].
For this operation, all the Intermediate and High-level Prosecutors had not entered "team" status but adopted a real-time forum format for communication.
Many Intermediate Prosecutors didn’t know the reason; perhaps only a few among the High-level Prosecutors knew the true purpose behind Bai Sanxiang’s actions.
Xu Shu was one of these few individuals.
Clearly, this method aimed to prevent "traitors"—owing to the special nature of the Promotion Network, all teammates in the same team could see each other’s locations, like having a simplified map view, which allowed them to see where their teammates were.
For Junior Prosecutors, whose combat capabilities were weak, getting their locations known in the team wasn’t a big deal.
After all, Bai Sanxiang had originally released the message of a "one-week citywide defense."
However, combatants above Intermediate Prosecutor couldn’t casually reveal their specific whereabouts.
Thus, in this operation, all personnel of Second Rank and above were like Divine Dragon—unseen.
The only form of communication they used was this special forum thread [United Front Channel], set up with Astronomy Association privileges, where one needed to correctly enter the password to access and view the posts and make comments.
This method, compared to directly forming a team, was certainly more troublesome and less efficient.
But it excelled in being highly confidential, effectively preventing internal leaks to some extent.
Of course, this thread also attracted the curiosity of some bystanders; when Xu Shu logged in, he saw several posts on the world channel asking, "Who owns the United Front Channel? What tricks is the Astronomy Association up to? Spill the beans!" showing that many people were quite curious, and of course, spies could not be ruled out among them stirring confusion.
Setting that aside for the moment, Xu Shu watched the intermittent exchanges and reports in the thread, waiting for notifications.
He kept an eye out for any messages from superiors like Bai Sanxiang or from subordinates like Tang Ying while pacing near the high school area, observing as he walked.
He patrolled continuously until 11:30 AM, and no battle had yet commenced.
Instead, several chimes from the school’s clock and then a series of ringing bells signaled the end of school.
Today was Saturday, and in the vast campus area, only seniors were in class.
With the ringing of the bells, Xu Shu approached the main school entrance, standing among the not-so-large group of parents there to pick up their children, watching the school gates and waiting for his sister to finish school.
"Speaking of which, it’s been several weeks since I last saw her; I wonder if she misses me, haha."
"But there’s no time for a reunion, I need to hurry and take her to the Judgement Department, then I can..."
"Huh?"
Xu Shu glanced at his glasses, and his expression suddenly froze.
The Promotion Network’s light screen interface that had been displayed on the left lens of his glasses...
had disappeared.
