"So, you came to us?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"Initially, the Special Warfare Bureau approached Miss Turquoise Pool," Zheng Qing glanced at Turquoise Pool, who rested her face on one hand, exuding the air of a professional businesswoman.

Dressed in a casual women's suit, she indeed possessed an idealized elegance and beauty typical of a female professional, while her white hair added an ethereal charm to her appearance.

"But she recommended the three of you, thinking that it would be safer to act with you and that the success rate of the mission would also be higher."

"If we can bring that thing back," Turquoise Pool said, her voice lazily enticing, "we can choose any Visualization from the Special Warfare Bureau's collection, but we're not allowed to share it with others."

Yang Qinglan looked toward Li Changzhou; it was time to negotiate.

"Ahem, may I ask," Li Changzhou said, "What's the highest level of Visualization the Special Warfare Bureau currently has?"

"S+," Zheng Qing promptly answered, straightforward and to the point.

"S+?" Li Qianxia exclaimed.

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan were also a bit startled.

Was the gap between the nation and ordinary players really that wide? The three of them only had A-level Visualization... Although they were only a trio who had participated in the game twice (not counting the ship).

Upon further thought, it didn't seem impossible.

The country had at least hundreds of thousands of players; with so many people, even if each person only participated in a game once a month, the chances of acquiring an S+ level item, Skill, or Visualization were unfathomable.

There were new discoveries every second!

Moreover, it wasn't just the nation on its own; players collaborating with the government might also sell their items and Visualization to the authorities.

"If it wasn't for this level, do you think I would have cooperated with the Special Warfare Bureau?" Turquoise Pool said with a smile.

Li Changzhou gave her a look and then asked Zheng Qing, "We can choose an S+ level?"

"Of course," Zheng Qing affirmed, then added, "However, the method to obtain S+ level Visualization is quite special, and I must make that clear to you, to avoid the unpleasantness of last time."

"Oh? What unpleasantness?" Turquoise Pool's gaze flitted between the two groups, asking with interest.

Li Qianxia whispered in her ear, explaining the situation.

"How is it special?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"To be precise, the highest-level Visualization in the possession of the Special Warfare Bureau is S- level. S and S+ level are derivatives from two books—'Scripture of Mountains and Seas' and 'Curious Record.'"

"Every Divine Beast and Immortal listed in these two books represents a Visualization with varying levels. The lowest is B level, and the highest is S+ level. No matter the level, each page can only be learned once, and once mastered, it cannot be passed to another unless the previous person dies and the page returns to the book."

"Moreover, to master a Visualization, such as 'Qiongqi,' 'Yinglong,' 'Kunpeng,' 'Candle Yin,' you must gain the approval of these Divine Beasts."

"The 'Scripture of Mountains and Seas' has Kunpeng?" Yang Qinglan puzzled.

"The version we obtained does, it even includes Azure Dragon, Xuanwu, and White Tiger," Zheng Qing explained.

"Based on some people's speculations," Turquoise Pool, who had just finished hearing about the 'unpleasantness,' said, "'Scripture of Mountains and Seas' has a spirit of its own, automatically documenting powerful Visualizations born in the world, just like 'Curious Record' automatically records bizarre and marvelous events. This is how the Special Warfare Bureau discovered me, claiming that I'm the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West."

Zheng Qing's brows furrowed slightly, seemingly hesitant about Turquoise Pool revealing more top-secret information.

"So, are you really a reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, Sister Turquoise Pool?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.

"That book is like 'Approaching Science'; what do you think?"

"Ah! I remember now," Li Qianxia's memories surged, "it's like when you suck on any part of your body, you don't have a wound, but you can still draw blood, and it turns out to be because of gum bleeding from heatiness!"

Turquoise Pool laughed and said, "But it will indeed record such an event accurately, and through these records, the Special Warfare Bureau can infer certain things."

Li Changzhou surmised what 'Curious Record' was about; it seemed like a valueless version of 'Scripture of Mountains and Seas' used in the game, deceptive, yet with a slight hint of reality.

"How can we gain the approval of these Visualizations?" Li Changzhou was more concerned about this.

"It's simple," Zheng Qing replied, "Just find the relevant page from the index, and being able to open it is enough."

Why did this method seem... so familiar?

Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Li Qianxia exchanged glances, all thinking of the Evangelical Book simultaneously.

It wouldn't be another divine being traveling downstream from the past, would it? And this time it would be a group activity, with everyone using one book.

Or perhaps, 'Scripture of Mountains and Seas' really was just responsible for documenting strong Visualizations, with no malice involved?

"What do you say?" Turquoise Pool looked at them with anticipation, "How about a trip to Japan together? I can cover all expenses for food and lodging, accompanied by beautiful women the whole way."
