The difference between the two lies in the fusion; it must resemble what happened after the integration of the Great Xia world and the Mysterious World, ultimately transforming into the Mysterious World.
As time passed, the humans inside would gradually have ghost qi enter their bodies and eventually transform into abnormalities.
The "coming" should be the previously reported information that humans who meet the age requirement of eighteen would all enter the instance of the Mysterious World.
Mu Rufeng continued to browse through the information.
Gradually, Mu Rufeng's understanding of the Mysterious World deepened.
First of all, they were truly heading to the instance of the Mysterious World known as the Great Xia world.
He estimated that in ancient times, Great Xia had ultimately failed to seal, causing all the seal entrances to open and the rate of encroachment by the Mysterious World to soar.
Eventually, all living humans died and transformed into abnormalities.
Besides these, mostly there were strategies for various instances.
There should also be technical materials, just not here.
One could imagine that originally, in order to build up a powerful entity, many questions must have been asked about the instances.
For example, asking someone for the strategy information about the next instance.
With the capabilities of the Time Book, it certainly could provide an answer.
Thus, it can be said that Ye Lin likely reached his current status by relying on the Time Book because Section Chief Ye Lin happens to be the first Level 8 Ghost King in the country.
"Section Chief, if I may ask, what is your current level?" Mu Rufeng inquired.
"Level 8, five instances," Ye Lin replied without hiding anything.
"Level 8, five instances? Section Chief, are you one of the first batch of players?"
"Yes, the first batch of players globally probably number less than the fingers on both hands now," Ye Lin stated.
Mu Rufeng realized then that there were likely not many global Level 8 Ghost Kings; their numbers could be counted.
"Although you're only Level 4 now, I must tell you, the instance to advance to Level 8 will be extremely dangerous."
"If it weren't for my use of the Time Book to prepare in advance, I might not be standing here," Ye Lin said.
"Section Chief, it's incredibly difficult for a Level 9 Ghost Emperor to emerge within the Mysterious World. Do you think we can methodically rely on passing instances to level up to Level 9?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Difficult, indeed, I am not confident about the instance for advancing to Level 9," Ye Lin remarked.
Although Ye Lin did not know what the instance for progressing to Level 9 was, the difficulty level from the instance for advancing to Level 8 was telling.
Even with the prompt information from the Time Book, he had no confidence. However, now it was different; the Login Bracelet had been developed.
"Don't worry, now with the Login Bracelet and that item of yours that can grow organs and limbs, we can risk our lives and still get through," Ye Lin said.
Since Ye Lin was the most powerful Contractor in the country, every instance he participated in involved using the Time Book in advance to learn information and strategies.
Unlike Han Chen and Tian Youdao, who were the second and third in command but did not have this privilege.
Unless they were advancing to Level 8, only then would they be allowed to use the Time Book once.
As for other uses of the Time Book, those were reserved by the Mysterious Affairs Bureau to tackle mysterious technologies.
One could say that the request queue was packed.
"Indeed, when the time comes I'll give the Section Chief free access," Mu Rufeng said.
"It's best not to use it if possible. By the way, if there's anything else you want to ask, you can ask the Time Book. Considering your contributions, I've reserved one chance for you to inquire."
"Don't worry about the soul power expenditure; I'll cover the cost, up to a limit of one hundred units of soul power," Ye Lin said with a smile.
A hundred units of soul power equate to the soul power of a hundred ordinary people.
The soul power of an ordinary person is generally around one hundred soul powers; a hundred units would thus be ten thousand soul powers.
Ten thousand soul powers—if converted to soul banknotes in Golden City, that would amount to ten million soul banknotes.
Of course, this conversion was not feasible; its value was not that low.
Indeed, Mu Rufeng's contributions to the country and relevant departments were significant.
Just the channel contract with Crimson Preferred was enough.
Not to mention this instance of the Marquis Demon Suppression notebook, or solving the IF Center incident previously, and the Life Ore he had brought forward...
Right, Mu Rufeng had not yet brought out the detailed explanations of the Array and Qi Blood Method·Fierce Tiger Strength.
If these items were brought out, wouldn't they likely outweigh all previous contributions?
The most convenient thing about these two rewards is that they are not the kind to be used on the spot.
Instead, they are physical books that require you to read and practice on your own—true Secret Manuals—even allowing for transcription.
Mu Rufeng had already transcribed a copy of these two items early on. Naturally, he wouldn't hand over the originals but providing the transcriptions would suffice as they could also be practiced.
"Alright," Mu Rufeng nodded.
"By the way, Section Chief, this instance, I obtained two items that I believe are very important for the national aspect."
Mu Rufeng spoke as he handed over the two transcribed manuals to Ye Lin.
At Ye Lin's words, interest piqued, and he immediately took them and upon examining their properties, his pupils slightly narrowed.
[Basic Array Detailed Explanation (Transcribed Version)]: Contains detailed explanations of various basic arrays.
[Qi Blood Method·Fierce Tiger Strength (Transcribed Version)]: Stimulates Qi Blood Power, transforms it into a fierce tiger roaming within the body, enhancing the physical body and Qi Blood Power, doubling the practice efficiency when watching the tiger practice this method, and can be practiced up to the Refining Acupoints Realm.
Just from the properties, aside from the addition of the words (Transcribed Version), there was no difference.
"Good, very good, these two items are indeed too important; possessing these items is truly beneficial to both nation and people," Ye Lin, usually unflappable, finally showed some emotion.
"What are these things that get the Section Chief so excited?" Han Chen spoke up.
"Just come over and see the properties yourselves," Ye Lin didn't hand over the manuals but gestured for the two to come and see for themselves.
