Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills

Chapter 40: Increase In Ability

Corpses filled up the lands of Mount Wangpan. Whether it was the quantity or quality, these corpses were far better than the ones at the Dragon Gate Escort. This was because all the NPCs that died in this battle were from the pugilistic world. All of them knew kung fu.

Even the lowest leveled disciples from the three clans were able to provide Ye Weiming with around 20 points of proficiency.

Five of them were boss corpses. Each of them gave Ye Weiming more than 2000 points of proficiency.

They were the leader of the Seasand Clan, Yuan Guangpo, the leader of the Giant Whale Clan, Mai Jing, the leader of the Divine Fist Sect, Guo Sanquan, and the two disciples from the Kunlun Sect, Gao Zecheng and Jiang Tao.

The ‘The Study of Internal Energy’ contributed by Yuan Guangpo was used in the expiration exercise.

He also received ‘The Study of Long Weapons’ contributed by Mai Jing, There were not many players who used long weapons. Ye Weiming had no intention of learning a skill related to this kind of weapon so he used it directly, and learning through analogy, he managed to use it on Eight Step Chasing Toad. Ye Weiming’s lightness kung fu, which was already at a high level, increased by another level.

Guo Sanquan provided ‘The Study of Fist Skills’. Similarly, Ye Weiming had no intention of learning fist skills so he learned through analogy but the results weren’t satisfactory this time. The book was being used on Sword of the Yue Maiden.

Although Ye Weiming had been using ‘Sword of the Yue Maiden’ as his offensive skill all these while, he knew that after the completion of this mission, he would receive an intermediate sword skill scripture. At that time, the Sword of the Yue Maiden would have to be discarded. Adding proficiency to the Sword of the Yue Maiden was a waste.

With this thought in mind, he didn’t use the two ‘The Study of Sword Skills ‘ he got from the two Kunlun disciples. Instead, he would use them on the new sword skill he received after returning to Divine Constable Bureau.

After half a day of collecting corpses, burying corpses, and learning through analogy, Ye Weiming attributes became…

To prevent any unexpected troubles from happening, Ye Weiming buried all the corpses, including Chen Ming’s corpse that he had been carrying all these while, and hurried back to the mainland immediately. Back on the mainland, he found a horse carriage and returned to Bian Liang City. He looked for You Jin and handed over his mission.

He finally heaved a sigh of relief when he received the notification that his mission was a success.

Ding! You have found the truth of the massacre of the Dragon Gate Escort and successfully capture one of the culprits, Bury Moon, a disciple of the Flying Eagle Cult. You’ve completed the mission ‘Dragon Gate Escort’ with flying colors. Rewards received: EXP 7000, Cultivation 700, 20 Gold, sword skills scripture ‘Dragon-Phoenix Sword’.

He completed more than what was asked of him again?

But what did they mean by capturing Bury Moon?

Ye Weiming immediately carried forward the traditional virtue of asking shamelessly what you don’t know and got the answer from You Jin. “Due to the special traits of a player, it’s almost impossible to capture a player alive. To make things easier for the Divine Constable Bureau, you just need to kill any players that were involved with the case and they will be revived in the jail of the Divine Constable Bureau. Based on the severity of their crime, they would be locked up for some time ranging from an hour to 24 hours. They might even be exiled.”

“At the same time, if the players from our Divine Constable Bureau were attacked by other players during their mission, they could kill the attacker and these players would revive in our jail. They will be locked up for one to three hours for interfering with the agent.”

This rule is good!

Ye Weiming was very excited. Just as he was about to look at the scripture call ‘Dragon-Phoenix Sword’ to see how amazing an intermediate sword skill was, he heard You Jin speaking suddenly, “Weiming, the weapon that you’re currently using, is it the Green Bamboo Sword from the Miao boundary?”

Weiming?

Are we that close?

Ye Weiming complained about You Jin being overly familiar with him internally but on the surface, he still pretended to be a good student and replied obediently, “Commander You, you’re right. The Dragon Spring Sword was shattered in my battle with Xie Xun. Fortunately, I was able to find this Green Bamboo Sword. If not, I won’t have a sword to use. Is there something wrong with this sword?”

“Of course!”

You Jin continued in his extremely unpleasant voice, “Firstly, this sword doesn’t give any increase to your internal energy. This is an attribute that most blue or higher items have. Of course, its sharpness can cover up this weakness. The real problem with this sword is its poison attribute!”

There’s something wrong with the poison attribute? Will I hurt myself with it?

Ye Weiming was confused. You Jin continued his explanation, “In the pugilistic world, there’s a taboo with using poisonous weapons. If you’re a disciple from the Tang Clan or an evil clan, it doesn’t matter. But, if you’re a disciple of a righteous clan or a neutral clan like us, you will lose chivalrous points when you use poisonous weapons. The more you use them, the more chivalrous points are deducted.”

Ye Weiming was shocked. “We have this rule?”

Chivalrous points were a special kind of attribute in ‘Eternal Justice’. It affected a player greatly. For instance, a player like Yin Bukui who belonged to a righteous clan would be kicked out of his sect if his chivalrous points fell below a certain value. Even in a neutral clan like the Divine Constable Bureau, it would also affect the way NPCs treated you.

When he heard that the Green Bamboo Sword had such negative effects, Ye Weiming started getting serious.

He asked quickly, “Is the deduction amount very big?”

You Jin looked at Ye Weiming with an interested gaze. He replied calmly, “If you use it to kill monsters to get EXP or if your target is a normal monster that brings harm to the pugilistic world, based on your current ability, your chivalrous points will probably remain the same.”

A player would get a certain amount of chivalrous points when he completed a mission or killed a monster. The accumulation of chivalrous points would be slower when killing monsters. With Ye Weiming’s current level, if he killed monsters for an entire day, he might only get 2 to 3 chivalrous points.

According to what You Jin said, if he used the Green Bamboo Sword for a day, his chivalrous points would drop by 2 to 3 points!

Ye Weiming frowned slightly. Suddenly, he had a bold thought. This might be a chance for him to clear some troubles.

“Thank you for your reminder. I will take note of it.”

He expressed his sincere gratitude to You Jin and took out the intermediate sword skill to take a look. When he saw the attribute, whatever good feelings he finally managed to have towards this poker face disappeared instantly.

“Commander You, can you change the scripture?”
