End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 333

Chapter 333: Chapter 333: An Unexpected Surprise from Liam
“If she really insists on coming with us, there’s nothing we can do to stop her. Besides, I believe Bonnie is quite level-headed when it comes to executing missions, so you don’t need to worry too much about her,” Jeremy said, turning to Ritchie, Claire, and Emma with a reassuring smile.

The three of them accepted Jeremy’s explanation, their concerns eased for the moment.

With that, Jeremy led the group into the main hall of the Special Situations Bureau. Liam was already waiting there, and as soon as he saw them, he walked over with a friendly smile.

“I thought you might arrive a bit later, but it seems like all of you move pretty quickly,” Liam remarked.

“Of course. After all, the threat *The Lost Realm instance* poses to Moonlight City is too severe. We need to act as fast as possible,” Jeremy replied, the urgency in his voice clear.

Liam nodded. “I feel the same way, which is why I called you here. Our bureau has a large collection of tools capable of collecting High-Dimensional Data. However, our own members aren’t able to fully utilize their potential, so I’d like to entrust these tools to you.”

With that, Liam snapped his fingers. His secretary appeared, carrying a stack of folders, and distributed them to Jeremy and his team.

“The information in these folders contains details about the tools I’m offering to you—each one designed to collect High-Dimensional Data. Take your time to review these materials. Once you’ve gone through them, you can familiarize yourselves with the tools,” Liam said as he led Jeremy and the others toward his office.

Jeremy knew exactly what this meant—these tools must be stored in Liam’s office. As they made their way down the hallway, Jeremy flipped through the documents in the folder. By the time they reached the office, he had finished reading them all.

His mood brightened considerably.

Jeremy suddenly realized that, with the help of these powerful tools, they might not face as many difficulties as he had initially feared in this mission. The equipment Liam had provided was indeed incredibly effective.

The tools that Liam had provided this time had the impressive ability to absorb vast amounts of High-Dimensional Data. Fortunately, the tools themselves were not overly complicated to use. The only downside to using them was that they temporarily prevented the user from leveling up, a limitation that lasted for a short period.

Liam’s decision to entrust these tools to Jeremy and his team was based on the fact that they were the highest-level fighters in Moonlight City. This meant that the impact of this leveling restriction would be minimal for them, as their current power far exceeded that of others. Jeremy saw this as an unexpected advantage, a surprise gift from Liam.

Just as Jeremy was reflecting on this, Ritchie leaned in close and whispered cautiously in his ear.

“Why does he want us to use these tools? Do you think he’s deliberately trying to limit our strength?”

Ritchie wasn’t as trusting of Liam as Jeremy was, and his naturally suspicious nature led him to question the situation. Unlike Jeremy, Ritchie didn’t have a broad view of the circumstances, which caused him to misjudge the situation.

Jeremy shook his head in response. “I don’t think he’d do that. It wouldn’t benefit him at all. If a major crisis were to hit Moonlight City, he wouldn’t be able to escape the consequences either.”

With just a few words, Jeremy managed to ease Ritchie’s concerns.

As for Claire and Emma, who were trailing behind them, they hadn’t given the matter nearly as much thought. They simply followed along, trusting Jeremy’s judgment.

The group soon arrived at Liam’s office. As expected, the tools were carefully stored there. When Liam brought them out, Jeremy immediately noticed a subtle shift in the surrounding space. This indicated that the tools contained a significant amount of High-Dimensional Data—just as described in the documents.

“You’ve all reviewed the information on the tools by now, right?” Liam asked, a hint of satisfaction in his voice. “If you feel confident that you understand how to use them, go ahead and give them a try.”

Liam pushed the tools forward, inviting them to take the next step.

Jeremy, without hesitation, picked up one of the tools. The moment his hand made contact with the tool, he could feel the High-Dimensional Data within it trying to flow into his body. It was as if the data were seeking a way in. To stop this influx of High-Dimensional Data, Jeremy realized that he would need to use his own internal strength to block it.

“So, this is why using the tool temporarily slows down the rate of leveling up!” Jeremy remarked as he felt the tool’s influence in the next moment.

Liam nodded in acknowledgment. “You’re quite perceptive. So, are you going to try using it? If you don’t want to, I won’t hold it against you.”

Liam, deep down, didn’t expect anyone to willingly use the tool. He was simply offering it to Jeremy and his team, leaving the choice up to them. If Jeremy decided against it, Liam wasn’t going to pressure him.

But Jeremy, with a calm smile, shook his head. “Of course I’m willing to use this tool! However, I think there’s something you might not fully understand about it yet. These tools don’t just slow down the rate at which someone can level up; they also make the user far more sensitive to High-Dimensional Data.”

Jeremy’s statement took Liam by surprise. His expression shifted slightly as he asked, “Why do you say that? I’ve never noticed any such effect from these tools before.”

Liam wasn’t doubting Jeremy; he simply didn’t understand the reasoning behind his claim.

“I have a deep understanding of High-Dimensional Data,” Jeremy began to explain. “Under normal circumstances, someone who has never encountered High-Dimensional Data wouldn’t even be able to see it. And even those who have, over time, find themselves slowly eroded by it as they continue to use it.

Only individuals who are highly sensitive to High-Dimensional Data, but who also don’t rely on it too heavily, can truly harness its power to the fullest. I happen to be one of those people. After holding this tool, I’ve noticed that my sensitivity to High-Dimensional Data has significantly increased. I can now even see the High-Dimensional Data surrounding your body!”

Liam’s expression changed once again, this time to one of understanding and belief. Jeremy’s explanation made sense.

High-Dimensional Data existed in all spaces, but under normal conditions, its density was extremely low. This meant that only people with an extraordinary sensitivity to it could perceive it. Now that Jeremy could see it more clearly, it was apparent that the tool had enhanced his natural ability to interact with High-Dimensional Data in a way that even Liam hadn’t anticipated.

Previously, Jeremy had been unable to see High-Dimensional Data in the real world. But the moment he touched the tool, that changed. Suddenly, Jeremy could perceive the High-Dimensional Data present in the reality around him. This new revelation sparked a fresh idea in his mind, a plan that began forming rapidly.

Meanwhile, Ritchie, Bonnie, Claire, and Emma remained silent, listening intently to the exchange between Jeremy and Liam. They didn’t fully grasp the technical details of what Jeremy and Liam were discussing. However, that didn’t bother them too much. After all, once they entered the instance, their only task was to follow Jeremy’s lead.

Liam, with a smile, nodded in agreement. “It seems you truly are a genius, Jeremy. Now that you’ve gained the confidence you need, I believe we’re ready to move on to the next phase of the operation. General Howard has already made all the necessary preparations.”

This piece of news caught Jeremy by surprise. In his estimation, it should have taken General Howard at least a full day to gather all of his elite forces.

“Are you sure about that? It seems almost impossible for General Howard to have assembled his troops so quickly,” Jeremy asked, his voice laced with disbelief.

Liam, still smiling, replied, “I know General Howard well. His speed in mobilizing his forces is remarkable. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he arrives here to meet with us in the next half hour.”

Though Jeremy remained skeptical, he prepared himself, just in case. He knew that Liam wasn’t one to make such bold claims without reason, but it still seemed unlikely to him that Howard could move this fast.

Yet, 25 minutes later, to Jeremy’s astonishment, General Howard and his adjutant appeared in front of him and Liam. Liam glanced at his watch and, with a playful tone, said:

“Well, looks like I was right—Howard’s as quick as ever!”

“Your speed was even faster than I expected! I initially thought you would need at least half an hour to get everything ready,” Jeremy said with a hint of surprise in his voice.

General Howard, however, remained expressionless as he responded, “This mission is critical for Moonlight City. I’m not going to waste a single minute. I’ve already gathered all of my elite forces. If everyone is ready, we can begin the operation immediately. Or, do you still prefer to wait until the time we initially agreed upon?”

Though both Howard and Liam had managed to move with remarkable efficiency, completing their preparations in less than half a day, the original plan had been to launch the operation two days later. That’s why Howard was checking with Jeremy before proceeding ahead of schedule.

Jeremy shook his head decisively. “Since we’re all prepared, there’s no need to delay any further. As you said, time is incredibly valuable right now. Let’s move to the entrance of *The Lost Realm instance* right away. Once we’re there, I’ll share my plan with all of you. Just follow my lead, and I’m confident we’ll succeed!”

His tone was resolute, filled with the determination that set the tone for what was to come.
