The quality of the treasure chests I open will always increase by 3.

A certain assassin organization.

"Boss, someone else has placed an order to kill that freshman from Shanghai Martial Arts University!"

"I still want 100 million!"

"Haha, killing one person earns me double the reward, boss, didn't I do a good job?"

A person sitting in the darkness slowly nodded and said through the game communicator, "You did a good job. After it's done, I'll give you special permission to take a 10% cut."

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!" came an excited voice from the communicator.

Killing one person can earn you two payments, 1 million Star Coins in total, enough to buy several Platinum-grade outfits. What a huge profit!

It's simply a blessing from God!

However, he forgot to consider one thing: if he couldn't kill that freshman, what difference would it make if he got 100 or 1000 rewards, let alone just two? He would only be happy for nothing.

"Last time, it was unfortunate that Ah Qi ran into someone else who had also hired assassins when he made his move, and he almost got killed there!" the leader in the darkness continued. "Let Ah Qi do it again. I'm sure he's very unhappy about not succeeding last time, after all, he's never failed before!"

"Yes, I'll arrange it immediately."

The leader hung up the communicator, rested his chin on his hands, and muttered, "Did this freshman break some cardinal rule? Otherwise, why would so many people want to kill him? Oh well, the Shadow Society's rule is that if you can afford it, they'll kill even the head of state for you!"

"Young man, if you have someone to blame, it's yourself. Why did you offend so many people?"

……

When Lin Yuan woke up, he felt completely refreshed.

But I feel hungry again!

He had no choice but to order a spirit beast meat set meal, and then went to wash up. After washing up, he contacted Su Yunmeng and the others to inform them that they would be farming the Thousand Feather Canyon dungeon tomorrow.

After all that was done, breakfast was delivered.

Began to eat.

The student clock suddenly rang. Lin Yuan picked it up and saw that it was Qiao Feifei calling.

He then answered the call.

"Do you want to earn credits?" Qiao Feifei asked without any preamble.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Academic credits are a great thing!

He quickly replied, "Yes."

Qiao Feifei then said, "Okay, I'll send you the task briefing. Take a look at it first, and if you think you're capable of completing it, then go ahead and do it."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Qiao," Lin Yuan said sincerely.

Qiao Feifei giggled twice and said ambiguously, "Lin, if you really want to thank the teacher, why don't you come to the teacher's room tonight and we can chat slowly?"

Lin Yuan's lips twitched slightly. After saying "Goodbye," he quickly turned off the communication.

It's strange. This teacher shouldn't be the frivolous type. Why does he keep teasing him like this?

Lin Yuan was speechless.

The student watch beeped again. He glanced at it and saw that Qiao Feifei had sent him an email.

He opened it to take a look.

Sure enough, it's about a mission.

Someone reported to the management bureau that a cult was suspected of operating in the "Xingsheng Community".

However, the management bureau sent people to investigate but found no clues. They initially thought the whistleblower was just being paranoid. But a few days later, someone died in the neighborhood, and the death was... very tragic. There were even traces of rituals around the area, which was very much in line with the style of a cult.

The management bureau conducted a large-scale investigation, but still found nothing, so they sought help from Wuhan University in Shanghai.

—The various universities already have cooperative relationships with the Administration Bureau, and they often help the Administration Bureau with tasks such as arresting criminals.

Well, the main problem with this task is that the people in the Administration Bureau are too... how should I put it, "official." People from cults can tell what they do at a glance, so how could they possibly reveal their identities? Therefore, the Administration Bureau assigned the task to Shanghai Martial Arts University.

Students, naturally, don't have the air of officials, so they can easily blend in with the residents and gather information.

Of course, this task also carries a certain risk factor, so completing the task will earn you 20 credits.

Only 20 credits?

That's not enough for me to go to the Tower of Babel even once.

It costs 150 credits per hour.

No, no, he's definitely not going to be fighting level 25 monsters now, but level 29 ones, so he should get more than 150 credits, right?

Sigh, even a small ant leg is still meat. Let's just take it and see what happens. What if he gets lucky and solves it in one go? Wouldn't that be like getting 20 credits for free?

Lin Yuan quickly finished his breakfast and arrived at the school gate, where Su Yunmeng and Han Ming were already waiting for him.

set off.

Sister Hong suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and the four of them left the city together, heading towards Ningcheng.

It's over 300 kilometers, and it would take about two hours to travel at full speed.

Lin Yuan summoned Xiao Hei, but as its master, he could only run alongside it on the ground, having to give up his mount to Su Yunmeng and Han Ming.

It wasn't that he suddenly stopped being a straight man, but rather that if Su Yunmeng and Han Ming walked on their own two legs, their speed was too slow, too slow, and he simply couldn't stand it. So he had no choice but to give up his mount and run on the ground with Sister Hong.

Perhaps because the journey was too long, the chances of accidents were also higher. They encountered several spirit beasts along the way. Fortunately, they were not high level and were easily killed by Lin Yuan. Of course, the corpses were put into his backpack, which could be exchanged for school credits!

Around noon, the four of them finally arrived in Ningcheng.

Their status as Wuhan University students played a crucial role; they used the green channel and quickly passed through the checkpoint, arriving at the corresponding door. Lin Yuan and his two companions went inside, while Sister Hong could only wait outside.

She was actually quite relieved now, because Lin Yuan's strength was no weaker than hers—this was, of course, her own assessment; in fact, perhaps Lin Yuan's strength had already far surpassed hers?

After entering the game, Lin Yuan and his two companions headed towards the area where Thousand Feather Canyon was located.

This will span four maps, so it will take some time.

As before, Lin Yuan summoned Xiao Hei to serve as a mount for the two women, while he ran on the ground.

No, we'll never travel together again!

He told them to run on their own, and he would meet them at the entrance of the instance.

—Don't both women have flying pets at home? Why do they need to ride on my mount?

Pay up!

Lin Yuan felt he had lost out big time.

Of the four maps, one was a low-level map below level 20, and they passed through it with almost no monsters. However, of the remaining three maps, one was a level 30 map and the other two were level 50 maps, which made things more interesting, as monsters started running towards them from afar.

But the result was that Lin Yuan only had to put in a little effort and killed him with a few sword strikes.

When they got tired from traveling, they would stop to rest, and then continue their journey. Even so, by evening, they had only passed through three maps, with the last one remaining.

They were all exhausted, so they didn't continue on their way. Instead, they found a place to rest and eat, planning to spend the night in the wilderness.

Lin Yuan had planned to find a tree hollow or something, but the two women actually took out tents from their storage rings and set them up on the ground, which made him sigh.

Women really know how to enjoy life!
