29: Chapter 29 I think you have some misunderstandings about me

At this moment.

The entire Heifeng Camp seemed to have been muted.

All the clamor, mockery, questioning, and shock were choked back in everyone's throats by that golden number.

Zhang Tianzhen's hand trembled violently, and the controller dropped directly onto the first-floor deck.

Several undercover agents from the Ling Consortium, originally hidden in the crowd, saw their pupils shrink the instant they saw that number.

Level 30!

In just these three days of the City Siege Hunt.

A Blank Slate Warrior had reached Level 30!

This was a miracle worthy of being recorded in the annals of the Alliance history.

Zhao Tai lay on the ground, staring fixedly at the blinding golden light.

Lin Mo looked down at him from above.

"Now, do you understand?"

Lin Mo leaned down, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.

"We are simply not people from the same world."

"No... impossible..."

Zhao Tai's assassin teammate knelt to the side, his hands clawing fiercely into the alloy floor, not even noticing when his fingernails peeled back and bled.

Lin Mo casually waved away the projection of the level badge.

He walked toward Zhao Tai step by step.

Footsteps echoed in the deathly silent hall.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Every step felt like it was treading on the hearts of every freshman and teacher present.

"Coming to look for trouble with me time and time again, do you think I have absolutely no temper?"

"What... what do you want to do?"

Zhao Tai's face showed terror.

"I surrender!"

"The challenge match is meant to be a test of skill! You cannot kill me!"

Second-floor observation deck.

Zhang Tianzhen shuddered violently, only then snapping out of his extreme shock.

He looked down at the shattered controller on the ground, then back at the handsome, upright youth below, and swallowed hard.

"Sp... Special Envoy Qin."

Zhang Tianzhen's voice trembled as he turned to look at Qin Lan.

"How... how should we handle this?"

"Should we stop him?"

Qin Lan shook her head.

"Leave him alone. That kid has his own sense of proportion; he's just teaching those guys who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth a lesson."

"Those guys were asking for it by provoking Lin Mo, so letting him vent a little is fine."

Zhang Tianzhen rubbed his nose.

Since Qin Lan was blatantly favoring Lin Mo, he had no choice but to pretend he hadn't seen anything.

"Ah!!!"

Zhao Tai's scream was incomparably shrill.

His left hand bone had just been snapped by Lin Mo's stomp!!

Then came the right hand, the left foot, and the right foot.

It was too tragic; men who heard it fell silent, and women who heard it shed tears.

Three of Zhao Tai's four teammates were frightened to tears, and one even suffered from incontinence.

Although in the current world, there were ways to regrow severed hands and feet.

But this scene was enough to leave them with psychological trauma for a lifetime.

After a long while.

Only five limp figures remained on the ring, and Lin Mo walked off the stage with a blank expression.

The onlookers voluntarily cleared a path for him.

From this moment on, no one dared to speak rudely to Lin Mo again; even if they had complaints, they only dared to whisper them secretly in their hearts.

Chu Tiankuo and the others were trembling, their eyes filled with fear.

They were all rejoicing that they had admitted defeat quickly.

If they had continued to tangle with Lin Mo back then, their fate would likely have been no better than that of Zhao Tai and the others.

Only Li Qilin's fear was feigned; after recognizing who Lin Mo was, she was no longer afraid.

She simply tried her best to distance herself from Lin Mo, avoiding letting others know they were acquainted.

"Go announce the results."

Qin Lan's voice was low.

"This... what should I do?"

Zhang Tianzhen's mouth twitched.

Three days.

Reached Level 30.

Who the hell would believe that if it were told?

But the fact that this kid was only Level 0 the day he arrived was something everyone had witnessed.

If reported to the Alliance, the Alliance would likely not recognize this achievement.

Qin Lan took a deep breath.

Her towering chest heaved slightly.

Her eyes were incredibly complex.

"Do whatever you have to do. If there are any issues, I will resolve them," Qin Lan said coldly.

Zhang Tianzhen felt as if he had received a reprieve.

He rushed toward the broadcast console in two or three steps and grabbed the backup microphone.

"Ahem!"

The deafening sound from the loudspeaker finally broke the silence of the camp.

"The challenge is over! Lin Mo wins!"

Zhang Tianzhen's voice cracked with excitement.

"I announce that for this Shimmering City City Siege Hunt, student Lin Mo has become the first place winner of the 200th City Siege Hunt event!"

"He is also the number one in history since the 200th edition! An unprecedented perfect score! The results are absolutely real and valid!"

Boom—

The camp erupted.

A perfect score?

They had never even heard of such a thing.

Could there even be a perfect score in the City Siege Hunt?

He's not even human!

Zhang Tianzhen cleared his throat.

A harsh static sound came from the loudspeaker.

Everyone looked up.

"The Shimmering City City Siege Hunt evaluation is officially concluded."

No one spoke all around.

There was no applause, nor was there any heckling.

The members of Chu Tiankuo's team kept their heads down, staring fixedly at their toes.

The boy who had suffered incontinence on the ring earlier was being dragged toward the infirmary by his companions, leaving a long trail of fluid.

Zhang Tianzhen carried a black metal tray and walked down from the second-floor observation deck.

He passed through the crowd and walked up to Lin Mo.

"This is the reward for the top ranking distributed by the Alliance Headquarters."

Zhang Tianzhen's voice was very low, audible only to the few of them.

"One voucher for a self-selected job advancement dungeon, one epic grade equipment exchange ticket, and an admission notice for Tianfu University in the Core City."

Lin Mo reached out and took the items directly from the tray.

There was a silver card without any patterns, a dark gold equipment badge, and a document stamped with the Alliance's gold-embossed red seal.

He casually shoved the equipment badge and the document into his spatial backpack, his gaze falling on the silver card in his hand.

A wave of magical fluctuations spread out.

Qin Lan stepped forward.

With a wave of her right hand, a light blue soundproof barrier quickly formed, enveloping both Lin Mo and herself.

The noise outside the hall was instantly completely blocked out.

"That is the highest-level job advancement voucher."

Qin Lan pointed to the silver card in Lin Mo's hand.

Lin Mo flipped the card over.

His fingertips brushed against the cold metal surface.

"This voucher is issued by the Alliance Headquarters and allows you to choose your own job advancement dungeon and the difficulty level of the dungeon to be opened."

"The difficulty is divided into four levels: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell."

She paused and extended her index finger.

"Low-difficulty Normal dungeons only have the most basic job advancement quests."

"The monsters inside are around level twenty. Once you kill fifty monsters and walk to the end to touch the Law Monument, you can exit."

"The whole process is very safe and takes very little time."

Lin Mo looked up and stared directly at Qin Lan: "What about the high-difficulty ones?"

"Starting from the Nightmare level, the mortality rate in the dungeons rises sharply."

Qin Lan frowned, her expression becoming extremely serious.

"In the highest Hell-level job advancement dungeon, the monster levels start at thirty-five."

"The interior of the dungeon will generate special law suppression, with various negative status effects like gravity, poison, and blindness stacking."

Lin Mo asked in return:

"If the difficulty is so high, there must be corresponding benefits, right? What is the difference in rewards?"

Qin Lan sneered.

"High risk naturally corresponds to high return. Once a Hell-level job advancement dungeon is cleared, you can obtain a class-exclusive awakened skill."

"There is even a small probability of obtaining Law Fragments, which can permanently increase your attribute growth coefficient."

She leaned forward, her gaze closing in on Lin Mo's face.

"But that dungeon is definitely not prepared for you."

"Lin Mo, even if your talent has reached dozens of levels, you can only Block a few hundred points of damage."

"You can ignore the Poison Bees by relying on mechanics, but in front of a truly high-difficulty dungeon, Blocking that little bit of damage is meaningless."

Qin Lan reached out and tapped her fingertip directly on the silver card in Lin Mo's hand.

"You need to have a clear understanding of your own positioning."

"Do not put the cart before the horse and pursue combat power. You only need to safely pass the job advancement and practice a secondary profession."

"Then immediately come with me to Tianfu University. After reporting, choose either the pharmacy or forging major, and the Alliance will tilt the top-tier resources toward you."

"You will absolutely be able to become a genius in everyone's eyes!"

Lin Mo lowered his eyes.

"Special Envoy Qin," Lin Mo said slowly, "I think you have some misunderstandings about me."
