127: Chapter 127 Cult Organization
Qin Yan looked at the data on the panel, his heart filled with emotion.
"Otherwise, even if I have the ability to add points, without the school's mission system and the massive amount of academic credits and precious resources provided by the resource library..."
"My strength increase speed could never have been this fast."
During this period, he and Wen Ning occasionally exchanged messages.
Wen Ning once told him that after their team completed the mission to kill Wang Jun, they received a total of 10 academic credits.
Since it was a team effort, the academic credits had to be split equally.
Ultimately, Zhao Hao, who was the strongest and had the best background, took the lion's share, receiving 4 academic credits;
Wen Ning, as the primary distractor and the one who landed the final blow, received 3 academic credits;
The remaining injured and supporting students split the remaining 3 academic credits equally.
When she learned that Qin Yan had completed the mission to kill Zhang Tu alone and had received a full 30 academic credits in one go...
Wen Ning was so jealous on the other end of the communication that her eyes turned red.
However, what Qin Yan found a bit tricky was that his spirit seemed to have hit a bottleneck.
No matter how many spirit nurturing pills, concentration pills, or other spirit-enhancing pills he took, his spirit value remained stuck at 61 Hz, not moving an inch.
It was as if there were an invisible barrier hindering its growth.
"Let's set the spirit issue aside for now."
Qin Yan quickly adjusted his mindset. "Currently, with the school's ten-fold academic credits missions, I'm not lacking channels to earn academic credits."
"Moreover, there's only a little over a month left until the National University Exchange Competition at the end of the year."
"The selection is imminent. Improving my hard power now to ensure I get a spot is the most critical thing."
Qin Yan felt a clear sense of urgency.
The internal competitive pressure at Modu University of Martial Arts was far beyond what outsiders could imagine.
Almost every top genius here came with their own 'resource cheat' or 'background cheat.'
They had massive families standing behind them, with access to inheritances, guidance, and massive resource support that ordinary people could only dream of.
If he didn't give it his all and relaxed even slightly, his current ranking could 'drop like a rock.'
His advantage lay in that mysterious panel, which could quickly improve almost all martial-related skills except for blood qi and spirit.
But in the early stages of cultivation, especially when everyone's realm was not yet high and improvement was relatively fast, this advantage wasn't as massive as one might imagine.
He could quickly improve his martial art proficiency by adding points, but others had family elders providing one-on-one, meticulous guidance.
Coupled with their own excellent talent, their progress in Body Tempering Martial Arts wouldn't be much slower than his.
He worked hard to complete missions, risking his life to fight for resources.
Others could also complete missions, and with the continuous resource support from their families, their total resources were often more than his, not less.
"However, for now, the resources I'm using, whether it's the tiger elephant bone forging pill or the qingxin tea, are already considered top-tier for the Second Grade Realm."
"The regular cultivation resources those geniuses get from their families every month should be roughly equal in value to what I'm consuming now."
"The platform and opportunities provided by Modu University of Martial Arts have, to some extent, narrowed the resource gap between us."
Sometimes, Qin Yan would fall into deep thought: "Can a commoner martial artist really have a day to shine?"
Commoner martial artists have no background and no family support, unless their talent is so monstrous it defies heaven—like those monsters who can directly reach the Perfection realm of a Body Tempering Martial Art after seeing it once.
Otherwise, how difficult would it be to catch up to those children of noble families who started from a higher point?
"But does such a monster who can reach Perfection in one glance really exist?"
Qin Yan looked out the window at the deep night and fell into a brief silence.
The weight of reality could indeed make one feel a hint of powerlessness sometimes.
Just then, a crisp communication ringtone sounded, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere in the quiet room.
"Xiao Shu, connect the call."
"Understood, Master," the cold electronic female voice responded.
The next moment, Wen Ning's voice, carrying her unique sense of tranquility and peace, came from the bracelet: "Qin Yan, are you busy?"
"In your Modu University of Martial Arts's mission list this month, is there a mission about destroying a cultist organization?"
"The leader's name is Wang Guang."
"Wang Guang?" Qin Yan felt the name was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He operated his bracelet, accessed the school's mission system, and performed a quick search.
Soon, a mission detail popped up:
[Mission Number: JP-11-1017]
· Target Organization: 'Abyss of the Vast Sea' Cultist Cell
· Leader's Name: Wang Guang
· Gender: Male
· Age: 43 years old
· Strength Assessment: mid-stage second grade, estimated to have tempered around 2 upper limb bones. Practices an Exquisite-grade Body Tempering Martial Art, has rich combat experience, and combat power is at a mid-tier level among those of the same grade.
· Case Summary: The leader has formed a small cultist base of nearly twenty people, promoting extreme ideologies such as 'Blue Star will eventually be destroyed, and the Vast Sea Realm is our final destination!'
Its members are active in the border areas between Yangpu District and neighboring districts, developing followers and gathering intelligence.
Suspected of multiple acts of sabotage and disappearance cases, they are traitors to human civilization and social cancers! Kill on sight!
· Case Jurisdiction: Modu City Yangpu District Investigation Branch
· Mission Reward: Leader Wang Guang's head, 7 academic credits;
The three known early second rank core members in the organization, 4 academic credits per head;
Remaining first grade members, 1 academic credit per head.
"Vast Sea Realm..." Qin Yan's gaze narrowed.
He knew this name; it was one of the many alien worlds connected to Blue Star, and also one of the primary alien worlds connected to the spatial rifts around Modu.
Several brutal wars had broken out between Blue Star and the Vast Sea Realm, resulting in an irreconcilable, mortal enmity.
And these so-called 'cultists' were traitors within the human race, either seduced by power or twisted in thought.
They turned to worship alien races, acting as accomplices and lurking within human society to conduct sabotage and infiltration; they were cancers that had to be removed!
Qin Yan's gaze lingered on the mission information regarding Wang Guang for a moment before finally looking away.
He told Wen Ning truthfully on the other end of the communication:
"I see the mission, number JP-11-1017, target Wang Guang, a cultist minor leader."
"However, the difficulty coefficient of this mission is too high, and the risk-to-reward ratio isn't worth it, so I didn't take it."
Despite saying this, Qin Yan knew in his heart that the rewards for this mission were indeed temptingly generous.
He did a quick mental calculation: the leader Wang Guang was worth 7 academic credits, and the three early second rank core members were 40 academic credits each, which made 120 academic credits.
Plus the other ten or so first grade members, there were about 15 of them.
