Chapter 50

Life in Qingyang City was very pleasant. Here, far from the border wars, He Ping felt a peace he had never experienced before. In the world he came from, civilization was indeed more advanced. According to the civilization level classification of the portable armory system, his original world was two levels higher than the Soldier World. However, behind the noise and splendor, there was restlessness and boredom. Here, what He Ping saw on people's faces was a simple longing for life.

During the day, apart from handing over supplies and payments to Wen Fang, He Ping spent most of his time with Zhao Xiaoyue. She was now very attached to him, and even Zhao Wen's family teased her about forgetting her mother before she was married. They would usually go shopping or listen to the private tutor's lessons together, and occasionally spar with the guards of the Zhao family, enjoying the admiring looks from the guards. Only in their eyes was he not just an ordinary child.

The civilization level in the Soldier World was not high, and there was no electricity or similar energy sources. Using oil for lighting was too expensive, so most people went to bed as soon as it got dark. Even the Zhao family did not stay up late at night, as there was nothing to do and no entertainment. When it was dark and no work could be done, people just went to sleep. Therefore, even in a big city like Qingyang, it was pitch black at night, with only the night watchmen and stray cats and dogs still active. Even the homeless did not want to come out.

However, in recent days, a new shadow had appeared in the nights of Qingyang City, and that was He Ping. Or rather, only at night did he feel like himself. As a modern person, he certainly wouldn't go to bed so early, and with his current mental state, he only needed a short rest each day to recover. If there was an emergency, he could go without sleep for several days without much trouble.

The reason He Ping went out late at night was simple: to punish the sinners on the blacklist!

Although he had eliminated the three Wolfes, he had only obtained 450 resource points from them, still far from the 1000-point goal. There were no more major sinners comparable to the three in the vicinity, so he had to travel far to find them. Therefore, He Ping decided to win by quantity. There were many sinners in Qingyang City who needed to be punished, but most did not even deserve the death penalty. For He Ping, it was extremely simple, and he could take care of several in one night.

What surprised He Ping was Trevor. After eliminating the three Wolfes, He Ping specifically checked to see how many resource points Trevor was worth and how difficult it would be to punish him. If it was feasible and there was sufficient reward, he didn't mind executing Trevor as well. However, Trevor's name was not on the blacklist at all; he was not a sinner, and no matter how he was dealt with, he would not receive any resource points.

*Swish!*

In the small courtyard, He Ping's figure landed at the door of the main house without disturbing anyone. The right side of the small house was where the maids assigned by Zhao Wen lived, and the left side was a guest room, currently empty. In the neighboring courtyard, Zhao Xiaoyue and her personal maid were also quiet. After observing for a while, He Ping entered his bedroom. Looking at the luxurious bedroom bathed in moonlight, He Ping resisted the urge to sigh, "What a wicked feudal society!"

In the past few days, He Ping had punished over a dozen sinners, but they were all minor figures like filial disobedience, gambling addiction, domestic violence, and bullying. Even the punishments were mostly simple and mild, such as taking their possessions, beating them, or public shaming. These sinners contributed resource points ranging from 70 to 80, with the least being only 30. However, with so many of them, He Ping finally accumulated 1000 resource points. As long as he converted the remaining resource points into equipment and completed the handover with Wen Fang, the system could be upgraded!

However, the maximum daily production was only 100, so even though He Ping had gathered enough resource points, he had to wait day by day, despite his eagerness to return. Fortunately, during one of the handovers of supplies and payments, he finally found what he had been looking for in the payment list: a broken mirror!

After the handover was completed that day, He Ping locked himself in his room and found the same broken mirror among the payments, identical to the two he already had, with the same 45-degree fan-shaped piece. The system's prompt was the same as before. He Ping eagerly took out his mirror, which had already become a 90-degree fan-shaped piece, and placed the two fragments together. The strange phenomenon that had occurred before happened again, and the two fragments fused into a 135-degree fan-shaped piece.

"Detected an energy increase in the 'Incomplete Spatial Mirror.' Civilization level: no change. Basic functions: no change. Additional functions: increased. Name: no modification needed. Function status: improved. Recommendation: continue using."

The system prompt appeared again, but this time... it seemed a bit different. He Ping immediately noticed that when the two fragments were combined before, the additional functions did not change, but this time the prompt said they had increased. What did this mean? The so-called additional functions were essentially a real-time monitoring device. Could it be that not only had the mirror's functions improved, but a new function had also appeared?

He Ping quickly examined it carefully and found that the maximum number of spatial door markers had increased to ten. This made him very happy. Apart from Zhao Zheng's military camp, he had only used the markers for his current room. Although he couldn't think of where to use them now, more was always better. Besides the increase in the maximum number of markers, He Ping finally understood what the increase in additional functions meant.

Invisible and intangible!

Previously, the spatial door was very noticeable when opened, with a glowing circle and a black vortex inside. As long as the people around had their eyes open, they could immediately see the abnormality. The monitoring function was largely to determine the situation on the other side before teleporting, to avoid finding a crowd upon arrival. This so-called "invisible and intangible" function created a barrier around the spatial door, making it invisible to anyone nearby, who would only see a normal scene and not the spatial door.

This new function excited He Ping. The function itself wasn't much, though useful, but the key was that new functions appeared after fusing fragments. With only three fragments, the mirror was already very powerful. When he found the other fragments and fused them with the ones he had, would there be other new functions? With just three fragments, it was already very powerful. When all eight fragments were collected and the mirror became complete, how powerful would it be!
