……

Having just finished her final exams, Zhou Sining looked at the gloomy sky, her heart filled with sorrow.

Seeing his worried expression, Zhou Min, who was in the same examination room, came over.

"Zhou Sining, what are you thinking about?"

After finally getting through a semester, and with the New Year just around the corner, everyone should be overjoyed. Why is this guy wearing such a long face?

Zhou Sining shook her head: "It's nothing. The teachers are on holiday after the exams. I'm just worried about not being able to go up to the outer city wall to kill the undead."

Without a teacher's guidance, the students were not allowed to climb the outer city wall.

If you can't climb the outer city wall, you can't kill the undead, and if you can't kill the undead, you can't gain health points.

How can I exchange for the Soul-Condensing Chain to nourish and cultivate my soul if I don't have enough life points?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min was completely shocked.

Dude, I thought you were sad because you didn't have family to spend the New Year with, but it turns out you're sad because you can't kill the undead during the holiday?!

Haven't you killed enough undead after a whole semester?

Look around at the students, they're all happy because they're on holiday and don't have to be on duty, but you're the only one sighing and lamenting because you can't bother the spirits of the dead...

666, no wonder he's a genius who killed 96 undead on his first shift, his brain circuits are just different.

Zhou Min's lips twitched: "I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked."

You should know that even if you stand on the outer city wall and throw magic down, there is still a real chance of dying!

"I mainly want to train myself; I need to become stronger!" Zhou Sining clenched his fist.

It's true that I want to gain health points by killing undead to prolong my life, and it's also true that I want to become stronger.

The thought of the mangled corpses he would see when he opened his eyes, and the row of red crosses on the list, made Zhou Sining think that this world was truly fucking awful!

Zhou Min fell silent.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you go check out the Hunter's Alliance? Mo Fan got his hunter's license and joined the city's monster-hunting team, which gave him far more combat experience than us. With your abilities, joining a hunter team shouldn't be a problem. You can kill monsters and make money at the same time."

Yup!

Zhou Sining suddenly understood; how come he hadn't thought of the path of a hunter mage!

He's an adult now, so applying for a hunter's license shouldn't be a problem.

"Okay, thank you, senior." Zhou Sining smiled.

"Still calling me 'senior sister'?" Zhou Min smiled helplessly. "If you feel lonely during the New Year, you can come and hang out with us. Didn't Mu Bai open a commercial street? A lot of people in Bocheng work there. He said he plans to have a family reunion during the New Year. But speaking of which, he's really changed a lot. I heard that his family only took in Mu Ningxue and Mu Zhuoyun. Mu Bai has to support the family at such a young age and even opened a commercial street to support the people of Bocheng."

"He has indeed changed a lot," Zhou Sining said, neither confirming nor denying.

His first encounter with Mu Bai was during the Bo City disaster, and Mu Bai had already shown signs of growth by then.

While it cannot be ruled out that Mu He was behind it, it is true that after the disaster in Bo City, the remaining members of the Mu family had not yet settled down before being abandoned by the Mu family in the capital. Mu Bai and Mu He had no choice but to rely on themselves to support the family.

During that period, Mu Bai was visibly haggard, but fortunately he pulled through, and he became more and more composed.

Having witnessed firsthand the growth of the third male lead in the later stages of the original novel, Zhou Sining couldn't describe the wonderful feeling he had, and his affection for Mu Bai grew even stronger than from simply reading the text.

The two walked out of the campus side by side, and Zhou Sining reached out to stop a car.

"Then I'll head to the Hunter's Alliance first. Let's get together sometime."

"Okay, have a safe trip." Zhou Min waved her hand.

……

The Hunter Alliance is located in the city center and is essentially a combination of a government affairs center and a shopping mall, with the top two floors being official offices.

The middle two floors are a shopping mall and a dedicated area for high-end one-on-one order taking services.

The Hunter's Hall at the very bottom is a marketplace-like space that serves everyone.

Although it looks noisy, the entire hall is divided into different zones and operates stably and orderly.

Zhou Sining first went to the window to apply for a hunter's license.

"Hello sir, here are your hunter's certificate and hunter's badge. Please keep them safe. This is our Hunter's Alliance APP. Scan the QR code to log in, and you can see the real-time status of accepting and completing quests in the Ancient Capital Hunter's Alliance. The APP can also recommend suitable quests based on your situation, and any notifications will also be posted on the APP."

Putting away his hunter's credentials, Zhou Sining scanned the QR code to log into the app the staff had mentioned and tried out the automatic recommendation function.

Perhaps because I had just applied to be a hunter and was a complete newbie, and the requirement was that it could be completed by an individual, it took a very long time for the app to pop up a matching task message.

【Task ID: 91125635】

[Task Level: Beginner]

[Posted by: Second Front of the East City Wall]

[Mission Objective: Serve continuously for half a month and kill 30 servant-level undead]

[Task Requirements: Beginner Level 3 or above, one or more players, beginner mages are limited to Light, Fire, and Lightning elements]

[Reward: 200 per day, including meals and accommodation]

"After being exposed to wind and rain on the outer city wall for half a month, I only earn 3000 and I have to kill 30 slave-level enemies. Those who are capable don't want it, and those who are capable don't have the ability. No wonder no one has accepted this task even after it has been posted for a week."

Looking at this shady task, Zhou Sining was completely speechless.

It's important to know that because of the presence of the undead in the ancient capital, there are many similar duty missions that many novice mages can complete alone.

Moreover, it is winter now, with less sunlight, and the number and quality of the dead are steadily increasing compared to summer. With the Lunar New Year approaching, it is even more necessary to recruit idle mid- to low-level mages to perform duties to ensure that the entire ancient city can smoothly get through this year.

Therefore, whether it's an official or private mission, the conditions offered are not bad; at least one of the requirements—money or benefits—is met.

But this task is a lose-lose situation; it offers neither money nor good treatment.

By the time you finish the quests, it will be Lunar New Year's Eve. Which mage has nothing better to do than go to your outer city wall and blow corpse winds instead of celebrating the New Year?

Not to mention those warrior-level undead who slept all summer and took advantage of the drop in temperature to crawl out and get some fresh air.

If you happen to run into them, whether you can make it home alive for your New Year's Eve dinner is a question.

"You've only met a good person like me who doesn't ask for anything in return; anyone else would have dumped you long ago."

Zhou Sining indulged in a little self-admiration and reached out to press "Confirm Acceptance".

A deduction message immediately popped up on the screen.

Once this basic duty assignment is accepted, the data will be synchronized to the Hunter Alliance's main system, and the deposits of both parties will be deducted.

Once the task is completed, the system will return the deposit. If there is a party at fault, the system will use the deposit as part of the compensation to the victim.

This deposit system can effectively protect the rights and interests of publishers and hunters.

Zhou Sining understood the reasoning, but seeing the message about the 5,000 yuan deduction still made him feel uneasy.

It's quite unusual that the deposit is almost double the reward for the task. It's also fortunate that the issuer is an official entity, otherwise the Hunter Alliance would not have approved the release of this task.

Immediately afterwards, the publisher's contact information popped up on the screen.

Zhou Sining wrote down the number and called the other party to inquire about the specifics.

"Hello, this is the Third War Zone of the East City Wall of the Ancient Capital Military Region. I am Commander-in-Chief Su Zhe."
