As we all know, the card class is roughly divided into four levels according to white, black, red and gold. The task class here corresponds to it. The red card is equivalent to reaching the third level!
Lin You was not very clear about how the task classes were divided specifically, but this level was obviously a bit exaggerated. Could it be that this girl had forgotten that they were still freshmen?
At this moment, an old student suppressed his fear and couldn't help but interrupt, "Hua Peiling, you have to look carefully. This is a red-level mission. It's not a joke. If you don't handle it well, something terrible will happen."
Hua Peiling remained silent.
Lin You couldn't help but look at her. Noticing this gaze, Hua Peiling frowned and said calmly, "It's just a Red Rank mission in the Nova District. There's nothing to be surprised about. You and I can handle it together."
This was said quite lightly, but it didn't seem very convincing.
However, the senior student who gave the reminder caught a key word and changed his mind.
Join forces?
Hua Peiling wants to take the initiative to join forces with others?
Although this is not unprecedented, it is definitely a rare thing.
According to past experience, those who have worked with her are usually extremely strong and among the top rising stars!
But now this person...
Hmm, it looks somewhat familiar.
His gaze shifted to Lin You, and something suddenly flashed through the old man's memory.
He was a sophomore, but he was the type who didn't usually join in the fun, so he was not present on Challenge Day.
This is not surprising. Challenge Day is not a special day. After all, it happens every week.
There are also many people who don’t go to watch the event in person.
But as for Lin You, he had some impression that he got from some unknown source, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
The old man was still thinking about it when Lin You suddenly asked, "Have you decided?"
Hua Peiling nodded slightly, very persistent, or rather, she had no intention of changing her mission from the beginning.
"Then this one."
Seeing that she did not hesitate, Lin You also acted without hesitation.
Isn’t it just a red-level mission?
As people have said, this is just the red level of the 'Nova Zone' category.
The so-called Rising Star Zone is probably the same as the 'Rising Star List'. It defines a range and only those within this range are eligible to take on tasks. The difficulty level is also determined based on the students within this range.
fine.
Red level, this is worthy of the generous mission reward!
After reaching a consensus, Hua Peiling took Lin You directly to a counter.
The old student stared blankly at their backs as they turned around. Was this really what happened?
You guys should hesitate a little longer so that I can be sure that it is really a red-level mission!
At this moment, someone walked over and said with emotion, "That guy is really amazing. Not long after entering school, he showed astonishing strength that far surpassed the top students from two prestigious universities. He's a super black-level fusion monster, and his mentor is the extremely mysterious teacher Hei Yuan. Now he's involved with our Ice Beauty and went off campus to carry out a red-level mission together. Tsk tsk."
"Super, super black-level fusion monster?"
Hearing this key word, the senior student suddenly understood and said in surprise, "So he's the freshman king that's been hotly discussed on the university forums lately, Lin You?"
He doesn't like to join in the fun, but that doesn't stop him from checking out the forums. Being in such a collective environment, it's not a good thing to isolate himself and get delayed in information.
Therefore, he was naturally familiar with Lin You, who had recently become a popular figure in the official forum of Jiangcheng University.
Just listening to those stories is astonishing enough, so astonishing that it seems unreal.
This ability is totally unlike what a freshman who has just been enrolled for less than a month can possess.
No wonder he was favored by Hua Peiling and had the idea of working on the mission with her.
But even so.
Is the red-level mission still a bit too bold?
Frankly speaking, for a mission of this level, even if the two of them work together, the risk is still too high.
The main problem still lies with Lin You.
Although his achievements since entering school are amazing, he is still a freshman after all.
No matter how strong you are, there is a limit.
An ultra-black-level fusion monster is indeed outrageous, but with this level, anyone picked from the top 50 on the Rising Star List can probably suppress it or even defeat it.
Not to mention Hua Peiling herself, who is ranked sixth on the Rising Star List and an apprentice three-star duelist.
Given her conditions, there are many more suitable partners, which can also reduce the risks as much as possible.
It can't be...
After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He was shocked and then looked at Lin You in front of the counter with inexplicable envy.
At this moment, the person in charge of handling the task procedures at the counter was Senior Lin. After seeing the task application handed in by Tsinghua Peiling, he was also surprised.
Nova Red Level!
Only the top ten students on the Rising Star List are eligible to apply for tasks of this level.
Not only that, the mission also requires that students who accept this level of mission need a partner.
Of course, it is limited to one person only.
From these conditions, we can see how difficult the task is.
In fact, among the current second-year students, there are only two who have accepted tasks of this level.
And those two people are none other than Chen Yi and Pan Taiping, who firmly occupy the top two spots on the Rising Star List.
They did successfully complete the red-level mission.
From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Hua Peiling, who is ranked sixth on the list, accepting tasks of the same level.
But in fact, Chen Yi and Pan Taiping, who are ranked first and second on the Rising Star List, have an extremely obvious gap in strength compared with the others.
The most intuitive point is that their total magic power has now exceeded 1,000 points, reaching the level of a true duelist!
Completely get rid of the word "apprentice", that is, the so-called one-star duelist!
You know, this has already met the graduation requirements of Jiangcheng University!
Of course, a first-class prestigious school like Jiangcheng University has a high graduation rate, close to 50%. As top talents in the school, it is only natural that Chen Yi and the others have this ability.
Although Hua Peiling is also a genius and has considerable strength, it is a bit too hasty for her to accept a red-level mission now.
Thinking of this, Senior Lin couldn't help but dissuade her, "Xiaoling, this mission is too dangerous. I'm not underestimating your abilities. You're talented, hardworking, and determined to become stronger. All of this is admirable. But no matter how hard you fight, there should be a limit. Sometimes it's appropriate to slow down a bit. Extremes can lead to the opposite. Why not wait until a more appropriate time to consider this mission? Give yourself some extra space and time. This way, you can actually go further."
What he said was very sincere, and it really showed that the senior was caring about the juniors.
But Hua Peiling didn't need such consideration, nor did she have any intention of slowing down. However, she was silent for a moment, then relaxed her brows and said seriously, "I remember what you said, but you seem to have misunderstood."
"ah?"
"For this mission..."
Hua Peiling's face was calm, but her tone was extremely firm. "I am 100% confident, and it is imperative. I accept your concern, but please also accept this task form."
"this……"
Senior Lin looked embarrassed, but after a moment, he sighed and said, "Alright then, be careful on this mission."
Then he looked at Lin You and smiled, "Classmate, I don't think I've seen you before. Are you in the same class as Xiaoling?"
"Hello, senior."
Seeing that the other party took the initiative to talk, Lin You also said something politely, then shook his head and denied it: "I'm not a second-year student, I just recently..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a light cough beside his ear.
He couldn't help but look surprised, but ignored it and prepared to speak again.
“Cough cough cough…”
There were several more crisp coughs.
Lin You suddenly tilted his head slightly. What happened? Did this girl suddenly catch a cold?
It was Hua Peiling who was coughing. It sounded a little unnatural, but her expression remained unchanged. She ignored his gaze as if nothing had happened.
After pondering for a moment, Lin You realized something. He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "As for me, I'm actually not familiar with her."
"cough……"
There was another cough, this time it was Senior Lin, he almost choked, what do you mean by not familiar, are you trying to fool an idiot?
With Xiaoling's personality, would she team up with someone she doesn't know to complete a mission?
Although it seems that not many people are familiar with her.
He complained in his heart, but he did not pursue the matter any further. He just said, "My fellow student, you are a boy. During the mission, I would like to trouble you to take good care of Xiaoling. Everything should be done in a safe way."
Lin You laughed and said, "Senior, that's not true. This is natural."
However, if we really talk about care, it is hard to say who is the one being taken care of.
Although I haven't seen Hua Peiling duel in person, the result of sixth place on the Rising Star List is clearly there, and there is no need to say more.
"Okay, I won't say any more."
Senior Lin was obviously the type who knew his limits. He had given all the necessary reminders, and he had no right to interfere with other people's thoughts. After all, this was allowed within the rules.
On hand, start the registration procedures for this task.
Registration is also very quick.
She first operated on the computer herself, then placed a card swiping machine specially used for registration on the counter. Hua Peiling took out the duel card and swiped it at the machine.
There was a flash of light and the verification was quickly passed.
After passing, Senior Lin processed the information again and recorded the "person in charge" of the task.
The so-called 'person in charge' can actually be understood as the captain of this two-person team.
The team leader has the authority to set the corresponding share of the task remuneration in advance. Once the task is completed and submitted for certification, the corresponding reward will be distributed to each task participant according to this share.
The person in charge recorded it as OK, and Senior Lin signaled Lin You to swipe the card again.
After attending school for a while, Lin You considered himself a veteran. He could take out duel cards from the duel disk with great skill.
Didi.
The certification here was also completed quickly.
"Okay, that'll do it."
Senior Lin smiled and started to deal with the final work of this registration.
"Let's go."
For some reason, Hua Peiling lowered her voice and said something, but one could vaguely hear some urgency in her voice.
Without asking any more questions, Lin You had some guesses based on her previous strange behavior. He moved quickly and followed her out of the mission building.
As soon as he left, Senior Lin, who was handling the registration work, froze in his smile.
He reached out and rubbed his eyes.
As if wanting to see something clearly.
After seeing it clearly, my brain suddenly buzzed!
This... this guy is a freshman?
Lin You’s student information was clearly displayed on the computer screen.
The information filled in was actually some of his grades when he entered school.
Including the Origin Card, the innate magic-adaptable physique and the No. 1 result on the Assessment Island.
Then it explains the mentor he belongs to.
Just looking at this information is actually amazing enough, but no matter what, it cannot change the fact that he is just a freshman who has been enrolled for less than a month.
Including some information, which has not been updated yet.
For example, in terms of magic, the score recorded was still 174 points when he was tested when he first entered school.
This thing is supposed to be tested once a quarter. Testing too frequently is not very meaningful.
At this moment, Senior Lin suddenly came to his senses. He looked up and found that Lin You and the other person who were originally standing in front of the counter had disappeared.
I suddenly felt anxious.
What is Xiaoling doing?
Taking a freshman to carry out a red-level mission?
So what if he’s the Rookie of the Year?
He is still a newcomer, no matter what, he can't keep up with the pace of tasks of this intensity!
In this way, not only her own safety is not guaranteed, but it is also not a good thing for the new king!
This is nonsense!
Senior Lin really wanted to chase her out and give her some good advice, but as for canceling the mission, he couldn't do that. Once the mission was successfully certified by him, if anyone wanted to cancel it, it would have to be Hua Peiling, the "person in charge", who would apply in person.
But he couldn't just leave here. Besides, it was unknown whether he would be able to see the person again if he went out. Didn't he see how fast the person slipped away?
As soon as I came to my senses, he disappeared.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. It gives me a headache.
No matter how bad it gets, there won't be any real danger to one's life. It hasn't reached that point yet.
It may not be a bad thing for this little girl to suffer a little!
Senior Lin sighed and tidied up the somewhat messy desk.
…
Teaching area, on the road.
After trotting for a distance, Lin You couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Are there still some problems with the registration?"
"I just don't want to listen to any more nagging."
Hearing Hua Peiling say this, Lin You became curious. "That senior seems to care about you a lot. Are you familiar with him?"
"He's simply too enthusiastic. He's always been like that."
"before……"
Lin You sensitively caught the two words, which seemed to have a story behind them, but he didn't intend to ask any further questions.
It's not that I'm not curious, I just feel that it's pointless to ask. Given this girl's personality, it's unlikely she would give a good answer.
He is too lazy to think about these things now. Compared to this, making money is the more important thing.
I'm going on a mission tomorrow, and I'm a little excited thinking about it. I also didn't forget to confirm: "The time and place remain the same, right?"
Hua Peiling nodded and said, "See you at the Welcome Square at 8 o'clock."
After saying this, he didn't seem to want to waste any more words and just left.
Lin You was not surprised by this.
The mission has been registered, why not go?
Are we going to continue drinking tea and chatting together?
Neither of them has the leisure time.
Before the mission, there should be some preparation, especially for a mission of this level.
Now that time permits, it's just right for me to go back and get some high-quality magic tonic, and I can also find time to visit the Magic Pressure Building.
Lin You set off as soon as he said he would. He headed straight for the villa area. On the way, he did not forget to send a message to Hei Yuan.
During the mission, teachers naturally cannot go to class, and they can continue to rest for a while.
Of course, it’s hard to say how many days it will take.
It depends on the progress of the task. If everything goes well, it may be completed in less than a day.
…
Rushing back to his villa in a hurry, as soon as he entered the bedroom, Lin You opened the drawer and took out several crystal boxes.
These boxes contain magic supplements.
Lin You also bought it in advance.
There are five pieces in total, all of which are large magic crystals, with a total value of 150 duel points.
It is very expensive, but for Lin You, who is still wealthy, it is nothing.
After this expenditure, his duel points still exceeded a thousand.
There is no need to worry about the funding for magic supplements now.
I just wish the absorption effect was stronger.
The reason for choosing this large magic crystal is actually because it is considered to be a magic supplement that is extremely suitable for novice duelists.
Although there are a wide variety of magic supplements in the exchange mall, which are dazzling to the eyes, most of them are not suitable for Lin You at this stage.
Large magic crystals, as disposable consumables, will certainly become less and less effective with repeated use, but for now, the effect must be excellent.
Especially combined with Lin You's talent in magic fusion.
He took out a crystal and immediately started practicing.
The magic power in the body also began to surge rapidly.
Swallow and swallow again.
The magic power was absorbed bit by bit, and Lin You could feel that his ability in absorbing magic power seemed to be steadily improving.
Although it still cannot be compared with the magic fusion, it is also worth mentioning and can barely be considered "excellent".
This improvement is mostly due to Qi Ling.
Thinking about it this way, practicing the art of psychic communication and taking Hei Yuan as a teacher is really the wisest choice since entering school.
So many benefits!
…
The swallowing ended relatively slowly, and the magic power also accelerated to the extreme. A cold feeling came deep into the bone marrow, and the magic power froze, and the fusion began.
The freezing speed is still extremely efficient.
It was accomplished in just a few breaths.
The cold quickly dissipated, and new magic power began to activate in the body.
After Lin You sensed it, he nodded slightly.
Not bad, 12 o'clock.
Although it is a little less than the 13 points when absorbing this type of crystal for the first time, this is normal.
It is true that the absorption of the same type of magic crystals is simple and rough, but after repeated absorption, the effect will continue to decline, and later on, it will almost drop off a cliff.
Being able to achieve such results in the second absorption is an amazing absorption quality.
In this way, Lin You's total magic power reached 228 points.
Compared with the 174 points when he first entered school, this data is an alarming improvement.
It's obvious that he's on a rocket!
No wonder it is said that Duel University is full of benefits.
This is especially true for those who are talented and capable.
The strong will always be strong!
"Alright... let's go to the Magic Pressure Tower and remove the magic impurities. This will complete the final preparations."
Lin You planned in his mind and soon went out.
When I rushed to the Magic Pressure Building and came back, it was already dinner time.
It is worth mentioning that this time the process of resisting pressure was smoother than last time.
After resisting the pressure for a short while, Lin You felt that the magical impurities in his body had been completely eliminated.
Therefore, it did not cause as much commotion as last time.
But this also means that the upper limit of his magic absorption has reached a very high level.
Even if you continuously absorb magic crystals, there won't be any problem as long as you don't do it too recklessly!
Having said that, Lin You did not rush for quick success. At least he did not go back and continued to absorb.
It is better to leave some blank space to completely avoid any hidden dangers.
And now, 228 points of magic power is enough for now.
This level will no longer be considered a "shortcoming" like when I first entered school.
On the contrary, even if you look at the entire advanced class, you must be among the best!
That night, Lin You, feeling satisfied, went to bed early for tomorrow's mission.
"Coolie~"
He had just fallen asleep when Chestnut Ball quietly floated out, found the refrigerator as if he knew the way, took out the dessert he had just bought, and started to eat it secretly with a happy look on his face.
