I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 59 Strange Peach Wood and the Mysterious Fragrance

They arranged for Chen Cheng to stay in a side hall.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhu and the others helped Chen Cheng put away the items he had brought from Changxi Village.

Everything is arranged properly.

Looking at Chen Cheng, who had brought a wooden chair and was already in work mode at the entrance of the side hall, I saw him sitting down.

Chi Le nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked into the main hall, summoned the door back to the real world, and stepped back into the room in the real world.

Lying in bed, Chi Le stared at the ceiling above her head.

"Now that Qingshan Temple has a temple keeper, and there's nothing special to do during the day, Chen Cheng can be entrusted with guiding the original pilgrims from the strange world."

"I will enter the strange world after nightfall, once the people of the mortal world have entered."

"The man surnamed Zheng from the Demon Exorcism Association will return to Changxi Village in half a month."

"Having killed Bald Zhang and trying to extract information from him, a conflict with this man surnamed Zheng is inevitable."

"The status of Qingshan Temple must be elevated."

Chi Le thought of the materials needed for the advancement of Qingshan Temple.

[Incense x100, Peach Wood Branch x3, Scent-Gathering Ghost x1, Fish Tail Carving x1]

"Getting 100 incense sticks is easy. With Chen Hao and Zhao Zhu going back to spread the word, the incense offerings these days won't be lacking."

"The fish tail of the fish tail carving has also been obtained, and the only difference is the peach wood branch, as well as the incense-gathering hand of the incense-eating ghost."

But here's the problem: Chi Le doesn't know where to get these two things.

"Never mind, I'll go to sleep first."

Chi Le yawned, realizing that trying to figure it out now was pointless.

Instead of wasting time, I'd rather join the Special Affairs Bureau and do some research there.

……

The next morning.

Early in the morning, Huang Wuwen called to inform Chi Le that he could go to the Special Affairs Bureau to complete his onboarding process.

Yesterday, Chi Le had already dismissed his former company and resumed his freelance status.

Jiangcheng, Special Affairs Bureau.

Chi Le originally thought that there would be complicated procedures waiting for her.

Unexpectedly, the journey was exceptionally smooth. I only had to fill out a few forms and enter my identity information before Huang Wuwen led me to my desk.

"You'll be working here from now on. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Huang Wuwen stood opposite Chi Le and asked.

While Chi Le was filling out the form, Huang Wuwen gave him a general overview of some points that the Special Affairs Bureau needed to pay attention to.

It's nothing more than working hours and main responsibilities.

None of the pool musicians had any objections.

Seeing that Chi Le shook his head, Huang Wuwen took out a stack of documents and placed them on Chi Le's desk.

"Now that we've joined the Special Affairs Bureau, there's no need to hide anything about the bizarre world."

"Apart from last night when the eerie mist invaded the mortal realm, forcibly drawing you into a bizarre world."

"You probably haven't officially entered the bizarre world yet, have you?"

Chi Le coughed and nodded.

Huang Wuwen tapped on the desktop files with his finger.

"These are the basic information about the bizarre world, allowing you to understand its dangers in advance."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that you haven't fallen into the bizarre world yet."

"I'm just a member of the logistics department, and my job is simply to cover up news of people who have disappeared in the real world after dying in a bizarre world."

"At most, field missions will be like last night's mysterious fog intrusion incident, assisting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in dealing with the strange remnants and settling the survivors. We won't have to face the demons and monsters directly."

"But that still counts as coming into contact with the bizarre."

"The more you get involved, the easier it is to fall into a bizarre world."

"Learn in advance and be fully prepared."

"That's how you survive in a bizarre and terrifying place like this world."

Chi Le pulled the documents on the table in front of her.

This is exactly what I need right now!

"Okay, Team Leader Huang."

Huang Wuwen is the leader of the fourth logistics coordination group in the logistics department of the Jiangcheng Special Operations Bureau.

As a member of the fourth group, Chi Le followed her colleague's example and addressed Huang Wuwen as Group Leader Huang.

"Okay, then you can keep an eye on it for the next couple of days."

"After this mysterious fog intrusion incident, we have many new colleagues, and there will be several days of unified training afterwards."

"At that time, there will be specialists who will provide a more in-depth explanation of the bizarre world."

After saying that, Huang Wuwen went off to do his work.

Having just experienced a mysterious fog intrusion into the real world, there are still many things to deal with that require the Special Affairs Bureau's attention.

The aftermath of those who died in the area where the eerie mist merged, and the subsequent handling of the survivors.

Assisted the Special Operations Bureau headquarters in sending personnel to investigate Cheung Hing Street.

……

Many employees of the Jiangcheng Special Affairs Bureau, including Huang Wuwen, are so busy that they barely have time to rest.

Chi Le opened the documents and read them with great interest.

If Yu Xun were here, he would definitely shout with excitement at the sight of him diligently absorbing knowledge.

It's finals again!

The first half of this information about the bizarre world mainly concerns how ordinary people can increase their survival rate when they first fall into it.

Unlike strategy-based dungeon games with clear objectives, the Mysterious World is more like a timed survival game.

Once you fall into this bizarre world, you have only one goal.

They exhausted every means to survive in the thick fog that concealed countless demons and evil spirits.

If you can hold out until dawn, then the mission is considered a success.

Therefore, the latter half of this document mainly records the monsters that newcomers who fall into the strange world for the first time are likely to encounter, as well as their corresponding weaknesses.

While it's not guaranteed that you'll encounter these things, there's a 80-90% chance.

The Mysterious World is clearly not the kind of terrible game where bosses block the spawn point, leaving new players with no gaming experience.

The information is clear.

Typically, when newcomers first enter the bizarre world, they will only appear near unranked demons.

He killed those low-ranking demons who wanted to kill him, and then waited until dawn.

Or you could play a game of cat and mouse with them all night, a chase where I'd give my life for them.

As long as you can stay until dawn, you've completed the game.

"Once you've entered the bizarre world for the first time, you'll automatically re-enter it two to three times per week thereafter."

"Moreover, each time you enter a strange world, the strength of the demons and evil spirits you encounter will gradually increase."

Upon seeing this record in the document, Chi Le understood a bit more.

"No wonder the Special Affairs Bureau is always short-staffed, whether it's the Logistics Department or the Foreign Affairs Department."

"This rule forces everyone who enters this bizarre world to constantly become stronger."

"If your strength stagnates for too long, you will eventually be completely swallowed up by the eerie mist!"

He lamented the cruelty of this bizarre world.

And the seemingly glamorous Zhou Guiren, who possesses enviable extraordinary abilities, is constantly facing the looming threat of death.

Chi Le continued flipping through the documents.

Further on, information on a considerable number of first-tier evil spirits and demons appeared.

"If a newbie encountered a first-tier demon, they'd basically have no chance of survival, right?"

Chi Le shook her head slightly, thinking of Yu Xun's performance in the bizarre fusion area—the swamp.

Soon, he saw something that caught his eye.
