Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 38: This S-rank mission! I accepted!
The headmaster trembled from the shout and hurriedly raised his hand: "Lord, please calm down! Let me ask!"

He hurriedly waved, "Teacher Xu! Come here!"

Lu Chen looked at his homeroom teacher, Ms. Xu, and walked over with unsteady steps, somewhat lost and dejected.

"headmaster……"

next second.

Principal Zhang grabbed Xu's class teacher by the collar with both hands, almost lifting him off the ground, veins bulging on his forehead:
"Teacher Xu!! What's going on?! Didn't you say he was the worst student?!"

"I……"

"Alright." Yu Feng frowned and looked at Lu Chen: "Classmate, why don't you explain? What exactly is going on with your 50% Divine Servant Level?"

"My Lord, I think... I have a predestined connection with the God of Wealth."

Lu Chen really didn't want to waste time on this issue, so he simply used the same excuse the Zhao family had used before. After speaking, he clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Lord City Lord, my little achievement is nothing to mention. I think we should not waste everyone's precious time and continue with the important matters."

This... a small achievement?
Yu Feng couldn't tell for a moment whether the kid was being modest or just putting on an act.
However, there are very few people in Jiangcheng who can put on such a show in front of him.

"A predestined fate? So that's how it is!"

At this moment, those around seemed to wake up from a dream.

However, the expected gasps and discussions did not occur.

Instead, everyone tacitly maintained a certain silence.

It's not that they want to remain silent.

Instead, they discovered that when they were so shocked, they were speechless!

Yu Feng saw that Lu Chen didn't want to discuss this topic any further.

With a thought, he nodded slightly and instructed Principal Zhang beside him, "Principal Zhang, you proceed first, we'll discuss this matter later."

"Yes, sir! Come on, everyone gather around!!"

All the trainees lined up again in a new queue.

"Lu Chen, what's going on with you? Isn't it 5%?!"

Li Ruoyi's incredulous whisper came from beside him.

"It was just a fluke."

"Another fluke?"

"Life is full of chance encounters. Listen carefully, the main event is coming soon."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting through this hurdle.

His gaze sharpened slightly as he stared at Yu Feng and the others who had returned to the stage.

"Boss, what about the next one..."

"No rush, let's wait and see what kind of mission this interesting little guy will choose?"

Yu Feng, who was originally heading to the next stop, stopped and lingered with great interest.

A servant of the gods with a rank of fifty, even if he is worshipping an obscure deity, is still quite astonishing.

To put it bluntly, as long as Lu Chen is in this year's competition, he is enough to surpass all the other provinces and cities!

Yu Feng developed an extremely strong interest in the boy and was reluctant to leave.

on the stage.

Principal Zhang, barely recovering from his shock, immediately led the applause: "Let's give Lu Chen the warmest applause! In my forty years of teaching, I have never seen such a high level of dedication! Whether by chance or not, this achievement deserves our sincerest blessings!"

"Wow!"

Thunderous applause swept through the entire venue.

Not only teachers and students, but also city leaders and staff members in the distance applauded sincerely.

To show politeness, Lu Chen nodded humbly to all parties.

As the applause subsided, the principal raised his hand and gestured: "The test is now over. Those who remain are the best of the best, the absolute elites!"
"Now, I'll formally tell you what you need to do next, and what the major aspects of this restructuring are."

On the stage, a huge LED screen lit up and played a PowerPoint presentation.

"First of all, we need to make one thing clear: although you have stayed, it is still uncertain whether you can join the elite class. There are only twenty spots in the elite class, which means that at least three-quarters of you will have to be eliminated."

Lu Chen listened intently.

"So how do you get into the elite class, and what are the benefits of being in the elite class? Look at the big screen first!"

Everyone looked over.

Six standard mission levels appeared on the screen.

From highest to lowest, they are: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C.

"If you want to enter the elite class as quickly as possible, the method is very simple: you just need to complete an S-level mission!"
You've studied at school for so many years, you should know very well what an S-class mission means.
With your current capabilities, it's naturally impossible for you to complete a mission of this level.

So let's settle for second best.

Completing two A-level tasks is equivalent to completing one S-level task.

One A-level task is equivalent to two B-level tasks.

One grade B is equivalent to two grades C.

Based on this calculation, some students might think that as long as they complete 8 C-level tasks, they can also advance to the elite class.
wrong!"

The principal shook his head: "To get into the elite class, you must complete at least one A-level task and one B-level task. That is to say, you can only do a maximum of two C-level tasks!"

Understand? "

"I understand!!"

This math problem isn't difficult; you can understand it as soon as you hear it.

The principal nodded: "Now that I've explained how to get into the elite class, I'll talk about the benefits of getting into the elite class. There are two main points!"

"First point: Rewards will be doubled. Starting today, the newly built mission hall in the school will be connected to the mission hall in the City Lord's Mansion!"
You can accept any missions offered by the City Lord's Mansion in the school lobby.

But! Listen carefully!
For the same task, your reward will be doubled.

Whether it's a reward or military merit, the amount will be doubled!

These words immediately caused an uproar on the playground.

Even Lu Chen was startled!
This is absolutely incredible!

Double the rewards?!

In other words, the difficulty for him to become a new elite is now half that of before!
If he remembered correctly.

The minimum military merit for a newly wealthy family should be 50,000 points!

But now, he only needs half the task of a normal spiritualist to achieve this requirement!

"Blast!!!!!!!!"

"It was definitely worth the wait! It was definitely worth the wait!!" Lu Chen was overjoyed, his blood surging!
No wonder Yu Feng spoke so passionately and powerfully just now.

This one rule alone is enough to drive students crazy!

This is indeed the best of times!

"As for the second benefit, I'll keep you in suspense for now. You'll find out when one of you gets into the elite class! I can only reveal that the second reward is even more generous than the first one, beyond your wildest imagination!"
So, strive hard, young people!
For your future, your prospects, and your destiny!
Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

I believe that none of you here are content to forever look up to the prosperity of others, right?!

Principal Zhang's voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap in the ears of the audience.

Every word struck a chord deep within the students' hearts!
Thunderous applause once again resounded through the sky.

The principal smiled slightly and pressed down on the air.

"As the first trial, the school has prepared 200 C-level tasks, 100 B-level tasks, 40 A-level tasks, and 1 S-level task."

You now have a few minutes to get a general idea of ​​these tasks.

With a wave of his hand, all the tasks instantly transformed into a dazzling light screen, floating in the air.

Lu Chen browsed intently:

"Level C Dungeon: [The Kitchen God Restocks at the Convenience Store]"

Task background: The incense at the "Kitchen God's shrine" in the 24-hour convenience store has gone out, causing the snack shelves to always be empty automatically.

Task requirements: You need to restock the convenience store owner 3 times (according to the shelf labels), and light the "Kitchen God Incense" at the offering table. The Kitchen God will drive away the "snack-stealing little gluttons".

Mission complete: Rewards include one "Unlimited Refill Ticket," 1000 RMB, and 5 military merit points.

……

"Too simple, boring." Lu Chen continued flipping through the pages.

……

"Rank C Dungeon: [Feeding the Spirit Birds at the Ancient Tree in the Park]"

Mission Background: On the branches of a century-old tree in a city park, a mythical "spirit bird" perches, but tourists' littering has caused the bird to refuse to eat.

Task requirements: Clean up 3 garbage spots and find the "Spirit Valley" next to the ancient tree to feed it.

Mission complete: Reward: 10000 RMB cash, 20 military merit points.

……

"Rank A Mission: [Purification of the Vengeful Spirits in the Old Hospital Inpatient Department]."

Background: The inpatient department of an old hospital in the city center has been abandoned due to its age. Three years ago, a nurse died unjustly due to a medical accident. Her resentment turned into a "vengeful spirit" and has been haunting the 3rd floor ward. Recently, explorers have been frequently disturbed by the vengeful spirit and have fallen into a coma. One victim has already died.

Task requirement: Exorcise the spirit.

Mission Reward: 100,000 RMB in cash and 1,000 military merit points.

……

"This is so-so. But it's not very meaningful; it's the kind of thing that's neither good nor bad."

Lu Chen flipped through the pages again: "By the way, what exactly does that S-rank mission look like?"

After searching for a while without finding it, Lu Chen was about to give up.

As if by telepathy, a purple light screen slowly descended in front of him.

……

"S-level mission: [Pray for rain during the severe drought in Longhu County].

Background: Longhu County, located 30 kilometers outside Jiangdu City, is suffering from a severe drought, the worst in a century, lasting for a year. Riverbeds have cracked and dried up, farmland has turned into desert, and even the spring at the mountain god temple has dried up. The local people have been praying to the Dragon King for rain, but to no avail. The local government has searched for all sorts of rain-making spirits, but to no avail, so they are now searching the whole country for a capable person.

Task requirement: Help the local area resolve the problem of flooding as soon as possible.

Mission Reward: 20 million in cash, 4,000 military merit points.

……

"It hasn't rained for a year... This Dragon King is quite powerful! What, did the locals offend him?"

Lu Chen's mind raced, and he suddenly found the mission quite interesting.

First of all, the reward is high enough, being an S-level reward.

A bonus of 20 million and 4,000 military merits!
Secondly, compared to other S-rank dungeons, this dungeon poses almost no danger to life; the only consequence is failure and returning home looking disheveled.

Typical high returns, high profits, and low risk!
Isn't this a guaranteed "golden" mission?!
Lu Chen only thought about it for a moment.

Then he made a decision.

Dry!
Either don't do it!

If you're going to do something, do it big!

If I don't take this great opportunity, it might get snatched away and I'll be too late.

Just then, the principal's voice came.

"Alright, time's almost up. I suggest you focus on C-level and B-level missions! As for A-level missions, don't bother looking at them; your current strength is far from sufficient. As for S-level missions, just treat them as examples; these are not missions you can handle!"

Principal Zhang had just finished speaking.

Then he raised one hand.

—Lu Chen?
Yu Feng's gaze instantly focused on that direction.

He raised his hand because...?

"Lu, is there a problem?"

"Principal, are we only allowed to accept one mission at a time?"

"That's how it works during the trial period. Once you enter the elite class, you can take on a maximum of ten missions at the same time."

"Understood! Can I accept the mission now?"

"Of course you can. Which one do you choose? B or C? It'll set a good example for your classmates."

Principal Zhang smiled broadly, suddenly finding Lu Chen more and more pleasing to the eye.

He was initially worried that these students, being new to things for the first time, wouldn't dare to stand out.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen took the initiative to help him.

At this moment, the surrounding students also turned their attention to this location.

Under the watchful eyes of all the teachers and students, Lu Chen calmly and unhurriedly raised his hand and pointed directly at the purple light screen.

"I'll accept this S-rank mission!"

　I can't take it anymore. There are some grammatical errors in the sentences. I'll revise them when I have time tomorrow.
