Everyone's Suppressing Ghosts: Others Contract Divine Weapons, I Contract Blank Paper

Chapter 40: 15,000 Merit Points! National Freshman Competition!

It was already morning when the convoy returned to Jianggui Academy.

The five supply crates were unloaded again.

Two of them were mostly empty.

The teacher on duty in the logistics department looked at the registration form and remained silent for several seconds.

[Mission to be carried in Linjiang County: 2500 blank talismans.]

[Task cost: 800 cards.]

[1700 tickets remaining on board.]

[College retention: 2567 sheets.]

Current total inventory: 4267 units.

A student nearby whispered, "They took out 2,500, and after the beating, they still have over 4,000 left?"

The teacher on duty glanced at him.

"Wait for reimbursement."

The student immediately shut up.

The next second, a new settlement popped up on the main control panel.

[The initial review for the cross-city assistance program at the old passenger station in Linjiang County (C+ level) has been completed.]

[Actual pollution scale: Approaching a Level B spill.]

The overflow from 17 old alleyways has been cleared.

[Confirmed removal of negative energy: 423.]

[Ticket Inspection Evil: 9.]

[Houses protected: 218 households.]

[Number of stable wounded: 3.]

[Resident casualties: 0.]

[Task contribution rate: 76%]

[Reimbursement for consumables: 1600 blank talisman sheets.]

Current registered inventory: 5867.

The teacher on duty looked at the last line and the corner of her mouth twitched.

"There are more now."

On the forum, screenshots of the logistics department's supply registration were quickly circulated.

[Xudu Linjiang County Task Settlement: 800 tickets used, 1600 tickets reimbursed.]

The comments below instantly flooded the screen.

Others consume resources while completing tasks.

He completes missions to refresh his inventory.

Five boxes of paper left the city, but more came back?

This isn't called a "suppressing ghost master," it's called "Jiang Ghost Paper Warehouse Expansion Container."

[The key point is that there were zero casualties in 17 alleys.]

[There is still a pollution fluctuation of 0.]

Xu Du did not check the forum.

He carried the white paper lantern and went directly to the training department office.

Lin Qingzhu was already waiting for him inside.

There were two documents on the table.

One document is the task settlement document from Linjiang County.

One is a new registration form.

Teacher Chen stood in front of the main control screen and first opened the settlement page.

"The merits have been confirmed."

Large screen refresh.

[Basic reward for cross-city assistance in Linjiang County: 2200 merit points.]

[Special contribution to clearing spillover: 1400 merit points.]

[Zero Residential Injuries/Casualties: 800 Merits Awarded.]

[Three wounded soldiers are in stable condition: 400 merit points.]

Total Rewards: 4800 Merit Points.

[Xu Duyuan's Merit Points: 10696]

[Current Merit Points: 15496]

The office fell silent for a moment when the numbers appeared.

Song Lin stared at the string of numbers.

"Fifteen thousand."

Gu Hanzhou said in a low voice, "15,000 merit points for new students."

Qin Zhaoxue looked at Xu Du but didn't say anything.

Teacher Chen continued pointing.

[Permissions updated.]

[Jiangcheng New Student Watchlist: Level Upgrade.]

[Cross-city assistance record: 1 time.]

[C+ level task main contribution record: 1 time.]

[Priority of Abandoned Town Resource Pool Access: Increased.]

[Jianggui Academy Recommendation Quota: Automatically added to the candidate pool.]

Xu Du glanced at the last line.

Lin Qingzhu pushed the second document in front of him.

"National Freshman Competition"

On the cover of the document, there was a line of eye-catching text.

[National Newcomer Ghost Hunting Competition Registration Form.]

Teacher Chen was taken aback.

"Is the registration deadline these next two days?"

Lin Qingzhu nodded.

"It was supposed to be in the next couple of days anyway."

"The task in Linjiang County simply made his candidacy more readily available."

She clicked on the registration rules.

[National Newcomer Ghost Hunting Competition.]

[Jiangcheng Division: Joint review by three courts.]

[Participating Academies: Jiangcheng Town Ghost Academy, Jianghua Town Ghost Academy, Jiangbei Town Ghost Academy.]

[Phase 1: Jiangcheng Selection Competition.]

[Recommendation method: College candidates, joint review and confirmation.]

Song Lin looked at Xu Du.

"You are now an automatic candidate for Jiang Gui."

The registration form was simultaneously refreshed on the large screen.

Name: Xu Du.

[Academy: Jiangcheng Town Ghost Academy.]

[Current Merit Points: 15496]

[Currently used item: White paper soul-guiding lamp.]

[Current rating: Special Grade A.]

[Item Type: Special Rule Type]

[Current character set: 灭, 封, 护, 镇, 替, 改, 名, 梳, 现, 真, 出.]

[Cross-city assistance record: Linjiang County Old Bus Station.]

[Recommendation Status: Registration Open.]

The table continues to scroll down.

The last column suddenly turned red.

[Special Note: The White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp failed to be contracted three times.]

The first three contractors all exhibited abnormalities.

[Risk Warning: Nighttime auditory hallucinations, sleepwalking, and tendencies towards summoning spirits.]

[Current Contractor Xu Du: Pollution Fluctuation 0.]

Looking at the few lines of red text, Teacher Chen couldn't help but say, "This note is way too conspicuous."

Song Lin said in a low voice, "The registration form says that the first three were all crazy."

Gu Hanzhou continued, "Then it says below that his pollution fluctuation is 0."

No one in the office continued speaking.

When this application form is released, the first thing people see is not the special A-level designation.

It's not 15,000 merits.

Instead, it was those few lines of red risk warnings.

Abandoned town building.

Three terms failed.

The fourth pollution fluctuation was zero.

Lin Qingzhu looked at Xu Du.

"Should we report it or not?"

Xu Du only glanced at the registration form.

Report.

Lin Qingzhu was not surprised.

She confirmed directly at the master endpoint.

[Jianggui Academy application candidate confirmation.]

Name: Xu Du.

[Registration Event: National Newcomer Ghost Hunting Competition - Jiangcheng Selection Round]

Status: Submitted.

[Awaiting joint trial by the three courts in Jiangcheng.]

As soon as the message was submitted, a new announcement appeared on the Jianggui Academy forum.

The Jiangcheng qualifiers for the National Newcomer Ghost Hunt Competition are about to begin.

[Jianggui Academy Candidate List Updated.]

[New candidate added: Xu Du.]

The replies below exploded.

[Xu Du has signed up?]

[You just got back from Linjiang County and you're already signing up?]

Doesn't he need to rest?

[His pollution fluctuation is 0, so what's the point of taking a break?]

This isn't a dungeon raid, it's a competition.

[The competition was even more outrageous; while others brought divine weapons onto the stage, he brought paper?]

Don't forget, his application form said "Blank Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp."

[Special note: The first three were abnormal.]

What would the opponent think if they saw this note?

Jianghua College Forum also received the news quickly.

Jiang Guixu has registered for the Jiangcheng selection competition.

Someone replied below.

Is it the one in Linjiang County that uses paper?

[Is the white paper lamp a special Grade A item?]

I heard it was originally an abandoned talisman.

[Abandoned town artifacts participating in the newcomer competition?]

Is Jiang Gui deserted?

Soon, a new reply was pushed to the top.

Jiang Huasu Wenchu ​​has confirmed his participation.

[Grade A Thousand Machines Fan.]

[Jianghua University Freshman Ranking: 1st]

He just forwarded Xu Du's application form.

Someone on the Jianggui Forum immediately took a screenshot.

Su Wenchu's repost consisted of only one sentence.

[A special Class A abandoned town artifact? See you on the field.]

The moment those words were spoken, the Jianggui Forum exploded.

【Here it comes! Here it comes!】

[Jianghua's top-ranked player has set his sights on Xu Du.]

[Grade A Thousand Machine Fan, paired with a white paper lamp?]

[Is this another case of a divine weapon defeating a blank sheet of paper?]

Isn't this just a replay of Chapter One?

[This is different; Xu Du has 15,000 merit points this time.]

[And he had just cleared away 423 evil spirits.]

However, the competition rules are different; the arena is not a dungeon.

That would be more interesting.

Inside the training hall.

Zhou Cheng also saw the registration announcement.

The peach wood sword with thunder pattern stopped in mid-air.

Someone nearby whispered, "Brother Cheng, Xu Du has also reported it."

Zhou Cheng stared coldly at the screen.

"I saw it."

The man added, "Jiang Hua and Su Wenchu ​​have also reported it."

Zhou Cheng tightened his grip on the sword.

On the screen, Xu Du and Su Wenchu's names appeared simultaneously on the list of candidates for the Jiangcheng selection competition.

[Jiang Gui: Xu Du, White Paper Soul-Guiding Lamp, Special Grade A.]

[Jiang Hua: Su Wenchu, Thousand Machine Fan, Grade A.]

[Jiangbei: Candidate list pending submission.]

Zhou Cheng sheathed his sword.

"Additional training."

The man was taken aback.

"Now?"

Zhou Chengdao: "Now."

the other side.

In the Beijing Ghost Exchange Area, Lin Xue also saw the registration form.

She stopped at the line of red text.

The first three contractors all exhibited abnormalities.

[Current Contractor Xu Du: Pollution Fluctuation 0.]

She looked at it for a long time before finally forwarding it to her notes.

Only three words were written.

Watch the game.

In the office of Jiang Gui's practical training department.

Lin Qingzhu filed the registration form.

"You don't need to take on any missions for the next few days."

"The rules for the Jiangcheng selection competition will be released soon."

"Individual and team competitions are both available."

Teacher Chen added a sentence.

"The opponent is not a Yin Sha (a type of evil spirit), but a human being."

Xu Du nodded.

"Know."

Lin Qingzhu glanced at him.

"Is there enough paper?"

The office fell silent for a moment.

Teacher Chen looked down at the inventory.

Current registered inventory: 5867.

She looked up.

"Is that enough?"

Xu Du glanced at the white paper soul-guiding lamp.

Under the black cloth, a faint light shone from the edge of the lamp paper, though there was no flame.

He said, "Let's add some more."

Teacher Chen:

"————"

Song Lin:

Gu Hanzhou:

On the forum, the announcement for the Jiangcheng selection competition continued to be updated.
