Jiangcheng University.
White Building.
Mission area, front desk.
Looking at Lin You and the other two who came back to settle the task, Lin Zifeng's expression was a little dull, and there was a big question mark in his mind.
What is going on?
I just came to take over the task yesterday afternoon, and if nothing goes wrong, I will go out to carry it out today.
As a result, he brought back the mutated soil required for the mission in the afternoon and took over the mission?
Are you kidding me?
This is a red-level mission!
After receiving the task, there is a high degree of freedom in terms of completion deadline.
Usually, there is a one-month period.
If it cannot be completed, it will be considered as abandoning the task.
Even if you give up the mission, the loss will not be too big, only a one percent deduction.
The reward is 1,000 duel points. If you fail or give up, the loss is only 10 duel points. After the two people share it equally, it will be 5 points each.
5 points is actually not a small amount for freshmen.
But it also depends on the person. For example, students in advanced classes won’t care too much about it.
Not to mention the old actors.
But these two were so good that they completed this red-level task neatly and efficiently in just one day!
How to do it?
Lin Zifeng himself is also a genius who graduated from Jiangcheng University and is a genius with outstanding abilities, but he did not achieve such amazing results back then.
I still remember that he was still worried yesterday and even thought about reporting this matter to the school leaders. If he didn't say it, it would probably be useless, so he would definitely do it!
When I saw Hua Peiling coming over, I thought she had figured it out, realized the difficulty and arduousness involved, and was ready to cancel the mission.
But I never thought it would be like this!
"Senior Lin, please complete the task quickly. I have other things to do."
Lin Zifeng finally came back to his senses when he heard Hua Peiling's voice. He touched the back of his head awkwardly and apologized, "I'm sorry, Xiaoling. I was a little distracted just now. It's okay. You guys are so scary. You took back the mutated soil so quickly."
As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Lin You again.
He actually knew Hua Peiling quite well and had also followed some of her duels.
Therefore, the approximate level of Hua Peiling's strength should not be too different from what he knows.
It’s very strong, indeed.
You can accept red-level missions, but they are still a considerable burden.
Even though this mutated cave is not a particularly difficult mission in the Red Level, it is still a Red Level.
If Hua Peiling wants to accomplish her goal, she must at least find a companion who is not much inferior to her.
Does this Lin You have some unknown power hidden?
Thinking about these things in my mind, this time, I did not delay the processing of the task at hand.
After a while, Lin Zifeng smiled and said, "The information has been submitted. If nothing goes wrong, it will be reviewed and approved before tomorrow. The remuneration will be paid to you according to the ratio you set in advance."
"Thank you very much, Senior Lin."
Hua Peiling nodded calmly, without any joy of completing the task on her face. When she returned to school, her character was back to normal.
Aren’t you really tired of holding it in like this?
Lin You pondered this question in his mind, but after thinking about it, he realized that being pestered and stared at every day might be even more terrible.
Like a celebrity.
Not everyone likes this feeling, and some even find it annoying.
As for Lin You, he was fine. When necessary, he would just wear sunglasses as a gesture, and that was enough.
That guy seemed to be enjoying it.
Suddenly, I thought of Xiao Yi.
But it was just a casual thought. Now that the mission information had been uploaded successfully, it was time to leave.
…
After leaving the White Building, Hua Peiling glanced at Lin You and suddenly said, "Remember your promise."
promise?
Lin You was confused. He really couldn't remember what he had promised.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "Magic green beans? Don't worry, I told you, these green beans are not for nothing. I will transfer 100 duel points to you later. Remember to look at the number."
"That's not what I meant!"
Hua Peiling gritted her teeth, feeling that the guy in front of her was deliberately pretending to be stupid.
Seeing that she had forgotten that they were on campus and was so excited, Lin You finally knew what she was talking about.
That thing!
Then he said with some amusement: "Don't look at me like that. I'm not a big mouth, nor am I boring to that extent. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it. You can rest assured. But you, you keep emphasizing it again and again. Are you afraid that I will forget it?"
Hua Peiling was about to say something when she noticed someone approaching. She snorted and left with a cold face.
"Very dedicated."
Lin You laughed, shook his head, and looked at the time. It was almost three o'clock.
I can’t go to the teacher today.
The number of times in the Ace Realm has also been used up.
Unfortunately, you can’t enter there through the duel point, otherwise Lin You would like to take Chimera there to practice.
Although Teacher Shang said that practicing too frequently will greatly reduce the benefits.
Chimera's ability is twice a week, but it's still far from the limit.
What a pity, what a pity!
After today's battle, Lin You's desire for combat skills reached its peak.
If Chimera can really reach the duel level, the awakened combat skills must be extremely powerful.
At that time, the overall combat capability will be taken to a higher level.
I can't go to the Ace Realm because I have just absorbed magic supplements several times recently and have also been to the Magic Pressure Building.
The magical debris has been cleared and can be absorbed again. It is best to leave it for a couple of days.
When I think about it this way, I really have nothing to do.
After thinking about it, I think the only place I can go is the monster training ground.
That place is actually equivalent to a low-end version of the Ace Realm. Monsters that are too strong cannot be trained, so training White Star monsters is a good choice.
The limit is the black star.
You can try strengthening Baphomet!
Lin You quickly made a decision that Baphomet was a black star monster.
In terms of combat power, it is already quite good, if it can be developed to duel level.
When the ultimate move is unleashed, even a super dark star monster will be hit.
OK.
After a little repair, go over there!
After all, it was a big battle, and he had taken the magic green beans, so the magic power in his body was somewhat affected. He felt more at ease when he became more stable.
Lin You quickly set off and prepared to return to the villa first.
…
at the same time.
Suburbs, security zone.
A dozen or so association duelists who had gathered here half an hour ago were now divided into teams of three or four, conducting a carpet search of the mutated cave.
Waves of fierce aura emerged one after another, covering the sky and the earth. As a large amount of thick black aura spread, the sky seemed to darken.
Dozens of monsters, without exception.
The lowest level has also reached the super black star level!
And among these black auras, there are even a few bright red auras mixed in!
Red Star Monster!
To exchange good books, follow the WeChat public account 【Book Friends Base Camp】. Follow now and receive a cash bonus!
Only glory-level duelists can initially master it!
Such a powerful lineup swept through.
In those mutated caves, some mutated monsters that were originally fighting or even going crazy now seemed to be showing signs of stopping.
It looks so honest that if you don't know it, you might think it's a frightened little animal.
There is no way to be dishonest!
The aura of these two people is too scary. If you are not careful, you might be crushed to death by the aura.
It's not impossible!
When a monster reaches the red star level, its aura will undergo a qualitative change.
From the original deterrent, it has evolved into substance!
Killing looks, no joke!
Of course, you don’t have to go to the Red Star. There are also ace-level super black star monsters, and they may even be stronger.
The super black star monsters that have cultivated to the ace level are actually stronger than ordinary red star monsters.
Especially the top-level Super Black Star Monster, when it reaches the Ace level, it can even challenge the Duel-level Red Star Monster.
Of course, the top-level ones are extremely rare.
It is even more difficult to cultivate to the ace level.
On the contrary, it is relatively easier to cultivate the Red Star Monster to the duel level.
Therefore, for Glory-level duelists, if they have the ability to use Red Star monsters, it is better to train Red Stars.
At this moment, such a powerful lineup is deployed.
The sweep was naturally very smooth.
In less than an hour, he checked the whole place inside and out several times, which was very efficient.
Those mutated monsters were quite cooperative, but some that didn't cooperated did not die peacefully.
"Reporting to Captain Zhang, all major abnormal caves and warning areas have been searched. Everything is normal and nothing has happened. Please give your instructions."
A member of the association stood in front of Zhang Minjian, who was in charge of directing the raid, and reported the situation.
Captain of the association!
This level is actually very high.
Those who are qualified to serve as captains have mostly reached the three-star level of glory.
At the same level as the Gold Medal Hunter of the Executive Bureau.
However, the executive bureaus in various places are actually the branches of the local associations. Some major event decisions must be reported to the associations, and the final decision-making power is also in the hands of the local associations.
Therefore, if you really want to be serious, the captain of the association is actually stronger than the gold medal hunter.
But this does not apply to all situations. There are also extremely powerful gold medal hunters.
"I understand. Stay on standby."
The search results were as expected, and Zhang Shu's appearance was just a coincidence.
I think they probably had a plan and hid here before the security zone was established, or right after it was established when security was relatively lax.
It took a lot of courage, but it was successful.
Hiding here is actually equivalent to losing freedom, and still having to live in fear every day in exchange for survival.
Not all dark duelists who are used to being wild are willing to do so.
Most of them chose to take risks and try to escape from Jiangcheng, but most of them ended in tragedy.
"Minjian, what should we do now? If that giant hand really disappeared so mysteriously, how are we going to explain this to the association?"
At one side, a young man with thick eyebrows couldn't stop scratching his ears and cheeks.
This is really a headache.
"fine."
Zhang Minjian patted his shoulder and chuckled, "We just need to do the normal investigation. This is just a preliminary investigation. I haven't told you yet that the 'great god' will be returning to Jiangcheng soon, probably in a few days. When that time comes, he will come over specifically to sense it."
"'Great God', you mean that one? Is that true or not?"
Upon hearing this, the young man with thick eyebrows was stunned.
The same was true for Hong Xiang and Li Xinjie next to them. The four of them were "card-playing buddies" stationed here together, and they were also old friends.
In terms of identity, Zhang Minjian is the captain of the association, and the other three are his partners as vice-captains.
In this type of special security zone, a four-person team consisting of a captain and three deputy captains is the most common leadership configuration.
At this moment, several people were obviously surprised by the "great god" mentioned by Zhang Minjian, and a hint of respect flashed in their eyes inadvertently.
But after being surprised, Hong Xiang couldn't help but say, "That's not right. That great god may be awesome, but it doesn't make much sense for him to come here again after a few days to sense him. It's probably too late to track him down. Isn't that a waste of time? Why bother making such a special trip?"
"It's hard to say."
Li Xinjie, who was standing nearby, took over and said, "That aura came from the Mutated Cave. The cave is quite special, so the aura is more pronounced and lingers longer. With the Great God's ability, there's a good chance he can track it down."
"The premise is, does that aura really come from this cave? I don't think so!"
"What do you mean? We were there in person and felt it ourselves..."
As he spoke, Li Xinjie's voice became weaker for some reason.
Zhang Minjian stopped laughing and said in a deep voice, "Actually, what Old Hong said might be true. The giant hand was able to disappear from right under our noses without anyone noticing. That aura might have emerged from nearby, or even far away."
"This creates an illusion. Our previous thinking was limited. If someone had tampered with Zhang Shu, then the aura, through Zhang Shu as a medium, suddenly erupted here. It would have been a long-distance 'detonation'. That's why we couldn't find any extra clues after the aura erupted, because there was only aura."
He became more and more excited, but in the end, his words turned into a question, "But what I don't understand is, what's the point of doing this? Or is this a provocation to the Jiangcheng Association?"
Doubts still exist.
The atmosphere returned to silence.
After a while, Zhang Minjian recovered and said with a smile, "Alright, there's no point in thinking too much about these things. Let's just see how the association arranges everything. There's no need to worry too much about it. As for the Great God, his main purpose for coming back this time was probably not for this."
The young man with thick eyebrows nodded. "I heard some rumors a while ago that there was a major meeting going on. The great master is from Jiangcheng and will indeed be returning. And it doesn't just involve our area. It is said that associations in various places will hold local meetings one after another. After the meeting summary, there may be a 'full session'."
"Such a big commotion? Is this true? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Hong Xiang was dumbfounded, this was big news!
Several people rolled their eyes at him, and Li Xinjie couldn't help but say, "Old Hong, all you do is play cards every day. How can you have time to care about these things?"
"You know?"
Hong Xiang glared at him unhappily.
Li Xinjie didn't say anything. Okay, he really didn't know.
But it's embarrassing for a vice-captain of the association to be completely unaware of such big news.
I am not like someone who doesn’t know what he is talking about without thinking.
If you can't do it yourself, have some shame!
…
Monster training ground.
Whoosh, whoosh!
A sharp and fierce wind blew through the valley, and a strange white airflow filled the wide space below.
Baphomet was in the air flow at this moment, and his body kept rising under the influence of the air flow.
But it flapped its wings and claws, roared, and pressed down desperately.
This is to force through that strange updraft.
In the simulated environment of the monster training ground, the monsters basically gain insights into their training content on their own.
Therefore, Baphomet was very clear about his mission, which was to conquer this updraft.
Against the pressure of the air flow, it fell to the bottom of the valley.
This is the content of Baphomet’s training, and if this training can be successfully completed, it means that it will officially enter the duel level!
At this point, Baphomet had tried countless times.
But every time, once the strength is exhausted, the result is that the body is out of control and is blown to the top again, returning to the original starting point.
Gradually, it learned to save its strength and stop rushing. Instead, it pressed down rhythmically.
This approach has also achieved certain results.
This attempt directly suppressed more than half of the airflow, which resulted in it being unable to withstand the pressure and passively flying back upwards.
And it really can't hold on any longer. If it continues to be hit, it will probably break.
Those strong winds are not vegetarians.
However, judging from his training situation, Baphomet is actually not far from the duel level.
This also made Lin You happy.
But it was both unexpected and reasonable.
After all, Baphomet had been following him and fighting for a long time.
Coupled with his extraordinary talent, he was able to achieve such results.
The training was almost over, and Lin You voluntarily withdrew from the training, and the surrounding environment began to fade away.
This time, the training difficulty is still the highest level 5, but the time is not short.
It's been almost an hour.
Of course, this has to do with the level of Baphomet's Black Star.
The life level is powerful, so it can support such high-intensity training.
This also consumes a lot of magic cores, and the monster training ground is driven by multiple magic cores, which is why it can support it.
But there is no way if it is higher.
Like Chimera, it still has to go to the Ace Realm honestly.
After this training, Lin You also became a little curious.
I'm curious, if Baphomet reaches duel level and then fuses with the Beast King to form Chimera, will Chimera become much stronger?
If it really works.
That would be a big profit.
Without thinking too much, after the training was over, I expressed my gratitude to the teacher on duty and left the training ground.
