Chapter 159: Consecutive Deaths of Martial Artists (1)
The next day, 9 am.
Chen Yu, Duan Ye, Bahuang Yao and Zhang Tie, the safety officer, gathered at the foot of the Tranquility Tower and headed for the lobby on the third floor of the school’s office building.
In the lobby, the students were in groups of three or five, and their heads were moving.
Shouts, noises, running sounds, and table slapping sounds rose and fell one after another, creating a chaotic scene.
“This is the mission hall, one of the most important places in the school.” Zhang Tie pulled the three people into a corner, pointing at the large screen that was hundreds of inches long. Zhang Tie said, “That’s the mission release area of the School of Beijing University. It has a high reward and can be refreshed at any time. Many classes are watching it closely. When a good mission appears, it’s hard to get it if you don’t work fast.”
“Are all missions unique?” Duan Ye asked.
“That’s right. After a mission is accepted, only the class that accepts it can complete it. Unless that class is willing to hand it over.”
“In that case, there should be a lot of scalpers.” Chen Yu pondered.
“Right. The elite class is at a disadvantage. After all, there are only three people. They definitely can’t compete with the common class which has more people. It’s a balance.”
After saying this, Zhang Tie pointed at the rows of tables and chairs on the left side of the hall, “That’s the common mission issuing area. You can accept missions from the whole country or even the whole world.”
“That’s awesome?” Duan Ye was shocked.
“In order to fight exotic beasts and integrate human strength, all the university’s task systems in the world are connected. For example, we can accept the task from Tsinghua University as long as we pay a certain ‘intermediary’ fee.”
Chen Yu walked in front of a set of tables and chairs and opened his computer. Dense task words appeared on the screen.
There were all sorts of missions, ranging from finding souvenirs to exterminating exotic beasts. There were so many types of missions that the mouse could not reach the end…
“The reason why Beijing University and Tsinghua University are so powerful is due to their excellent teachers, books, equipment, and medicinal pills. The quality of the missions is also one of their strengths.”
Zhang Tie pointed at the big screen, “We don’t need to search in the common mission area. As long as we wait here, we can find any mission from any school. The rewards are also very generous. Even the school review department would not accept low-quality missions.”
Duan Ye raised his head and looked at the big screen for a while before asking, “Then should we accept the task directly? Don’t we have classes?”
“Our Class 2 has 0 points now.” Zhang Tie spread out his hands, “If we want to take art classes, we can’t afford it. We have to do the task first.”
After staring at the big screen for a long time, Chen Yu opened his mouth, “Most of the tasks are very dangerous. No wonder Bahuang Yi said that we’re not students, but warriors.”
“Yi…” Hearing the key words, Bahuang Yao raised her head and became stunned for a second before lowering her head.
“Those who could enter the Capital University are at least Level 1 fighters. Of course, they are fighters.” Zhang Tie explained, “The current situation of human beings is very grim. Universities have become an important force of each country. Society issues commissions to universities and pays them rewards. Students complete the commissions and gain points. Universities used the rewards to develop martial arts and tied their output to academic credits, attracting more students to do tasks… A virtuous circle.”
Chen Yu said, “Students can also grow in this process.”
“Right.” Zhang Tie nodded. “Of course, there are also premature deaths. Therefore, many universities have set up safety personnel systems.”
“But with safety personnel, students will dare to do more difficult tasks.”
“There’s nothing we can do about that.” Zhang Tie smiled, “Benefits and risks coexist since ancient times.”
“Brother Yu, which task should we do?” Duan Ye rubbed his hands, “I’m a bit impatient.”
After leading his teammates to the bottom of the screen, Chen Yu checked it several times before pointing at the words on the 5th and 10th row, “How about that?”
Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao immediately looked in the direction that Chen Yu pointed at.
“The consecutive deaths of Level 1 fighters in Tang City?”
“Yes.”
After carefully checking the suffix of the mission, Zhang Tie shook his head, “This is a C-Rank mission. For a newly established elite class, it’s a bit too difficult.”
“C-Rank missions mean that there will be Level 2 fighters in the process of the mission.” Chen Yu shrugged, “As you’re a Level 4 fighter, I can deal with Level 2 fighters on my own. The difficulty is just right.”
“…” Zhang Tie became silent for a while, “You’re the class monitor anyway, so you have the final say.”
“Is this mission okay?” Chen Yu turned around and asked Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao.
“No problem.”
“Yes… It’s okay…”
“That’s it then. Tang City is not far from Beijing. Duan Ye, go and accept the mission.”
“Okay.”
Duan Ye walked to the counter and gestured with the staff. After that, he came back with a document.
“Accept it. C-Rank mission, 78 points. The information about the mission and points for attention are written on it. Please take a look.”
“We can go to the fourth floor.” Zhang Tie pointed upstairs, “There’s a separate room.”
“OK.”
Soon after, Class 2 found a quiet small room and put the document on the table to study.
Zhang Tie said, “Before we discuss it, let me introduce the level system of the mission.”
“D-Rank missions mean that units above Level 1 will appear in the process of the mission. The reward is between 1 and 10 credits.”
“C-Rank missions mean that units above Level 2 will appear in the process of the mission. The reward is between 10 and 100 credits. Our mission gives 78 credits, which means that the difficulty of this mission is also very high in C-Rank missions.”
“B, A, S, I won’t talk about it too much, and so on.”
After saying that, Zhang Tie walked to the water dispenser and poured a cup of boiling water. After moistening his throat, he said, “You can discuss the rest. I’m a safety officer. After the mission starts, try not to say anything.”
“OK.” Chen Yu made an OK gesture and handed the document to Bahuang Yao, “Here you go.”
“Ah?” The girl took it in confusion.
“When you do a mission, you have to have a sense of ritual. In the future, Duan Ye will be in charge of taking it, and you will be in charge of reading it. The division of labor is clear.”
“Then what are you in charge of?” Duan Ye asked.
Chen Yu tactically leaned back and crossed his legs. “I’m in charge.”
The two of them: “…”
“Read it quickly and train your tongue,” Chen Yu urged.
“I… Um…” The girl stared at the page seriously and stammered, “C… C-Rank Mission: Consecutive deaths of Tang City’s Level 1 martial artists.”
“From early March this year until August 20th, there have been a total of 63 deaths of martial artists in Tang… Tang City. The deceased were all foreign Level 1 martial artists who were alone. Their deaths… their deaths were tragic. The analysis shows that they were the work of the same person (faction).”
“As the perpetrator is only… only… only targeting martial artists outside the city, I hereby issue a request. For details, please… Please contact Tang City’s police Officer Wang on the day of acceptance of the mission. Phone… phone number 1 * * * *…”
With a red face, Bahuang Yao finally finished reading the entire content and panted heavily.
Duan Ye: “Let me read it next time. Don’t make things difficult for her. It’s as if she’s having difficulty giving birth.”
Chen Yu: “Letting someone else give birth is ultimately not the right path. Let her give birth a few more times and it’ll be smooth.”
Bahuang Yao: “…”
