122: Weird tasks

Shen Yi listened on the rooftop for a while, and after the room fell silent, he quietly left.

By the time he returned to the dormitory, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Fortunately, there were hardly any people in the Living Department dorms, and no dorm supervisor, so no one cared what time he returned.

He pushed open the dorm door and saw Zhou Weizhi and Feng Sibao inside.

"Shen Yi, you're back so late, where did you go?"

Feng Sibao greeted Shen Yi as he entered.

Zhou Weizhi just nodded at Shen Yi without speaking.

Shen Yi quickly tidied up and lay down on his bed; he had been tired all day and could finally get some good rest.

He suddenly remembered hearing the people in the room mention the Black Tiger Society when he was on the rooftop.

"Senior Zhou, do you know about the Black Tiger Society in Kyoto?"

Shen Yi asked.

Zhou Weizhi frowned upon hearing this. "Shen Yi, did you offend the Black Tiger Society?"

Feng Sibao also sat up from his bed at this moment. "The Black Tiger Society in Kyoto is just a low-tier gang; there aren't any masters inside. It seems only their leader is a fifth-tier, which is nothing special."

Listening to Feng Sibao, a wave of lingering fear washed over him. Fortunately, he had held back and not made a move. A fifth-tier was not something he could deal with right now.

He recounted his encounter from that afternoon and his eavesdropping on the two men that evening to Zhou Weizhi.

"Did you offend anyone?" Zhou Weizhi asked again.

Shen Yi shook his head. "No, I've only been here for a few days, and I don't know anyone."

"If Sister Yan comes tomorrow, ask her. She's more familiar with these underground forces in Kyoto. But you don't need to worry; there's no need to pay attention to such small fry."

Zhou Weizhi said calmly.

Feng Sibao also nodded, agreeing strongly with what Zhou had just said.

Shen Yi didn't think much of it either. At worst, he just wouldn't go out. These people wouldn't dare come to the university, would they?

Thinking about what happened that afternoon, he soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, everyone in the dorm woke up. They had class that morning.

As they arrived in the classroom, Shen Yi noticed that Fifth Ming wasn't there for class today.

Qian Huafeng entered the classroom and began today's lesson.

Today's topic was still the control and application of Ability, and Shen Yi listened with rapt attention. Although teachers in high school had also taught some, compared to Teacher Qian, it was simply not on the same level.

This gave Shen Yi a deeper understanding of Ability. Ability was not just for combat. Although he only taught some Ability application techniques and not how to use them in combat,

these insights could definitely be applied to combat. In battles between Ability Users, Ability Technique was just one method.

"That concludes today's lesson. New students are exempt for now. For the rest of you, if your points this month don't meet the requirement, you'll have to choose to complete a task."

After Qian Huafeng finished speaking, he walked out of the classroom.

The faces of the few people in the classroom turned pale upon hearing the teacher's words.

"I'm still short two hundred points; this month is going to be tough," Feng Sibao said with a bitter expression.

"I'm also short over a hundred. Looks like I can't slack off anymore; I need to work hard to earn points."

Zhou Weizhi also nodded.

Ji Yan, however, remained calm and indifferent to it.

Shen Yi was completely confused, not understanding what the two of them were talking about.

Zhou Weizhi came over to Shen Yi and patted him on the shoulder. "Shen Yi, you still have a year of free time; you don't need to strive for points. We're different; we must earn at least three hundred points every month now."

Feng Sibao walked over. "If you don't meet the requirement within a month, you have to go complete a task arranged by the teacher, and that task is simply..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Shen Yi could tell from his expression that the task was definitely not simple.

"Alright, I'm going to work hard to earn points. I really envy you."

Zhou Weizhi glanced at Shen Yi, left that remark, and then exited the classroom.

"How are points obtained?" Shen Yi asked curiously.

Feng Sibao explained, "For other departments, like the Combat Department and Support Department, they just need to go to different Otherworlds to complete tasks. But our Living Department is different; there are no Otherworld tasks released here."

"Can't we go to the Combat Department to take Otherworld tasks?"

"Of course we can, but because our main study is the Living Department, if we go to the Combat Department to take tasks, we have to pay double the points, and one trip to an Otherworld barely covers the cost of the points."

Feng Sibao said with a bitter and helpless expression.

"Then there's no other way?" Shen Yi was also speechless after hearing this, and he regretted coming here a bit.

"Of course there is. For those in the Living Department, earning points is actually very easy. Our Living Department also has its own tasks."

As he spoke, Feng Sibao opened his phone. On it was an app: Kyoto Ability University Living Department.

After opening it, there was a task list.

【Living Department: Forge thirty profound steel daggers. Claiming requires 2 points. Task completion: 100 points (Task duration: one month)】

【Living Department: Plant ten mu of spirit rice. Claiming task requires 30 points. Ripening within one month yields 450 points.】

【Living Department: Boil water for the Kyoto University cafeteria boiler. Claiming task requires 2 points. Task duration: 15 days. Completion yields 120 points.】

【Living Department: Help the cafeteria procure ingredients. Claiming task: 5 points. Requires procurement from Nanling Province. Procurement quantity: twenty tons. Task duration: 14 days. Completion yields reward: 150 points.】

...

Shen Yi looked at the dense list of tasks, all of them trivial matters that anyone could do.

"Recently, Fifth has been doing the ingredient procurement task. He just left yesterday," Feng Sibao said.

"Can tasks from our department be taken by other departments too?" Shen Yi asked curiously.

"They can, but claiming the task requires ten times the points, and the points obtained are reduced by ten times."

Shen Yi: "..."

Good gracious, he completely failed to understand what kind of bizarre university this was.

"I'm going to do tasks too, to see if there's one suitable for me."

Feng Sibao also left the classroom, leaving only Ji Yan.

"Senior Ji, don't you need to do tasks?"

"I have enough points." Ji Yan still spoke very little.

Shen Yi rubbed his nose, suddenly remembering what Zhou Weizhi had said last night.

"Senior, do you know about the Black Tiger Society?"

Ji Yan nodded upon hearing this, her face devoid of any expression.

"Could you tell me about this Black Tiger Society?"

Then Shen Yi recounted his encounter from yesterday again, and Ji Yan listened expressionlessly.

"You want to know why they're looking for trouble with you?"

"Yes, I want to figure that out."

"You wait, I'll contact you then."

After saying that, Ji Yan left the classroom.
