The last two drips were given to the eyebrows, making him look like a real Long Eyebrow Swordsman.
It took a bit of trimming before he achieved his current, handsome appearance.
Mu Rufeng arrived downstairs and pulled open the van that was parked there.
He then drove the van towards headquarters.
At 6:30 p.m., Mu Rufeng reached Changsha Headquarters.
Even though he took the expressway, the last stretch of the road was really jammed with traffic.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Mu Rufeng knocked on Tian Lin's office door.
Mu Rufeng pushed the door open. "Tian Lin, any news about the item application I submitted?"
"Ah, Rufeng, you're back rather soon this time. Has there been some kind of incident?" Tian Lin was somewhat surprised to see Mu Rufeng.
"Yes, there has been an incident. I've had someone write a report. It should have been uploaded by now. You can take a look," Mu Rufeng said.
"Oh? All right then, have a seat and I'll take a look," Tian Lin immediately gestured towards the sofa and started reviewing the report that had been uploaded.
In just about ten minutes, Tian Lin had finished reading, glancing frequently at Mu Rufeng during that time and even speaking to him, seemingly shocked.
"You've had quite the heart-stopping experience this time, and the Rule Stone inside the meteorite iron has such powerful effects."
"It's a pity we don't own the Rule Stone," Tian Lin said with a look of regret.
"Either way, I don't think I'm at a loss," Mu Rufeng replied with a smile.
The report mentioned that he obtained two Rule Items, but Mu Rufeng did not disclose their attributes.
Naturally, neither Tian Lin nor Captain Zhou would ask further.
"The item application you submitted has been approved, and they've even given you a few extras. Come on, let's go to the repository," Tian Lin said.
"Really? That's fantastic!" Mu Rufeng was immediately overjoyed.
Before entering the instance, he suddenly thought of his parents and then directly applied to Tian Lin for two more Login Bracelets.
Though Tian Lin had quite a few at his disposal, he still made a report to his superiors.
They readily agreed and even gave three more, totaling five extra bracelets for Mu Rufeng.
Considering Mu Rufeng's unique status, having a few more Login Bracelets increased his chances of survival.
While a Login Bracelet can only be used once and gets damaged upon use, if you have a new one, you can reuse it.
Moreover, after these days of testing, they knew that bodies erased due to instance failure, saved by the Login Bracelet, could not be restored.
Unless you use Rule Items or substitute the body with another body-like item.
Like with Mu Rufeng's Ghost Hand, if he were to lose an arm, wearing the Ghost Hand would mean his entire arm would be replaced by the Ghost Hand.
And he could use it just like a normal arm, which means it might just look or feel different.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng followed Tian Lin to the repository.
Tian Lin handed over a box containing five Login Bracelets to Mu Rufeng.
"This matter is top secret. Only my uncle and I are aware of it, so you'd better not disclose it to prevent any mishaps," Tian Lin said.
Even Zhou Wen was not aware of what Mu Rufeng had applied for.
"Don't worry, Tian Lin," Mu Rufeng said with a smile, tucking the box away.
"By the way, Tian Lin, could you give me your uncle's phone number?" Mu Rufeng suddenly asked.
"Why do you need my uncle's number?" Tian Lin frowned immediately.
"Just something I want to discuss with him."
"Something to discuss? Is it something even I can't know?" Tian Lin said.
"I think it's better if you don't know, Tian Lin. Of course, if you want to know, that's fine too, I was just going to ask—," Mu Rufeng hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted by Tian Lin.
"Alright, alright. Wait outside for a moment, and I'll get on the phone."
"Sure thing, Tian Lin," Mu Rufeng agreed and promptly left the repository to wait outside.
After a few minutes, Tian Lin came out from the repository.
"I've sent it to you. My uncle's number. Be careful, and I'm heading up," Tian Lin said after fiddling with his phone.
"Thanks, Tian Lin," Mu Rufeng replied, then took out his phone.
On WeChat, a number from Tian Lin was sent over.
Mu Rufeng didn't immediately call but returned to the first floor and sat in his van.
He then made the call.
"Leader, hello. I'm Mu Rufeng from the Changsha Department," Mu Rufeng quickly introduced himself.
"Ah, Rufeng. Lin just called me. What do you need to ask?" the leader said.
"Leader, I wanted to ask if the primary material for the Login Bracelets is Life Ore," Mu Rufeng asked quietly.
"Hm? How did you come to know about it?" The voice on the other end became somewhat stern.
"The Tower Master from Treasure Tower told me. He said that our department bought twenty tons of Life Ore last month, paid the money, but only less than three tons have been taken," Mu Rufeng explained.
"The Tower Master from Treasure Tower? So you got my number from Lin just to ask this?"
"Yes, pretty much. I also purchased a ton of Life Ore from the Treasure Tower this time, and I want to hand it over to our department," Mu Rufeng said.
