125: Chapter 125 This is risking your life!

Commander Sun's words instantly silenced everyone.

Indeed, the battle with the Hellhound just now had made them deeply realize the gap between them.

"Also, rest assured. In our Military Department, military merit points are a very solid hard currency."

"Fierce Beasts are not like Dungeon Monsters; killing them won't drop equipment or materials. But military merit points can help you directly exchange for top-tier supplies in the Military Department store!"

"The materials we have here are not the defective goods from your school's auction house."

Commander Sun waved his hand, and the screen display shifted, switching to the 【Military Merit Store】 page.

【Hellfire (S-Rank Fire-type Material), Current Inventory: 1, Required military merit points: 100.】

【Frost Wolf Fur (A-Rank Armor Material), Current Inventory: 27, Required military merit points: 30.】

【Giant Plate Armor (B-Rank Top-tier Set), Current Inventory: 1, Required military merit points: 5.】

...

Seeing the dazzling array of goods in the store and their envy-inducing quality, the students instantly boiled over, and their previous grievances were swept away.

"Holy crap! S-Rank material!"

"A B-Rank set for only 5 points? This is way too cheap!"

"Go, go, go! For the equipment, let's do this!"

Seeing this, Chen Xi's eyes also lit up.

He finally knew where Li Murou's full set of S-Rank equipment came from.

With a father who is the Minister of the Military Department, she could basically just take whatever resources she wanted!

At the same time, Chen Xi also understood why so many powerhouses flocked to the Military Department.

The resources here were simply too important for becoming stronger!

Chen Xi glanced at his bracelet.

The 3000 championship points he brought from school had now turned into a pitiful 30 military merit points.

"30 points... that's only enough to exchange for an A-Rank material," Chen Xi calculated in his mind.

Currently, Ye Fei had just joined the team, and he needed to make her a custom class core card as soon as possible to help her improve her strength.

Since killing Fierce Beasts Outside the Border didn't drop materials, he would just have to complete more missions and save up military merit points to exchange for them.

"Alright, everyone come up and accept your missions now."

Commander Sun finished with a final warning:

"I forgot to mention, don't think about trying to be clever and slacking off. Under me, every team must complete a mission quota of at least 300 military merit points within three months! Otherwise, I won't let you leave!"

"300 points?!" Everyone looked at each other, gasping.

"If an E-Rank Mission counts as 10 points, we have to complete 30 of them in three months?"

"That means doing one every three days on average?"

"This is too terrifying!"

"Come over and accept your missions!"

Following Commander Sun's order, everyone began to slowly shuffle toward the display screen.

Although afraid, for the sake of equipment, they had to brace themselves and go up.

"Hurry up and grab an E-Rank Mission first! That one looks the simplest!"

A quick-witted Professional rushed up and held their bracelet to the screen.

【Beep! E-Rank Mission accepted: Clear a First-Tier Fierce Beast horde. Mission deadline: 3 days.】

With someone taking the lead, other teams hurriedly followed, afraid that the simple missions would be snatched up, leaving them with nothing but missions that would send them to their deaths.

"Hurry and grab them! There aren't many E-Rank ones left!"

"Don't push, don't push!"

Just then, Jin Tong, who had just bandaged his wounds, pushed through the crowd and walked out.

Looking at everyone scrambling for E-Rank missions, he sneered disdainfully:

"A bunch of trash."

To regain the face he had lost earlier, and also to prove the strength of the Greedy Wolf Team, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, extended his bracelet, and tapped hard on the selected mission.

【Beep! D-Rank Mission accepted: Clear Second-Tier Fierce Beasts on Changping Street in Luocheng. Mission deadline: 7 days.】

Everyone was shocked:

"What!? He actually accepted a D-Rank mission? D-Rank corresponds to monster attribute panels at Level 40! That's the same level as that Hellhound from just now..."

"Is he trying to throw his life away?"

Jin Tong glared at the person who spoke and said coldly:

"You get back up from where you fell! We just weren't prepared earlier. Next time, with preparation, these Fierce Beasts will be nothing!"

Seeing Jin Tong being so tough, everyone cast admiring gazes:

"As expected of a genius among geniuses, this mindset is awesome!"

After accepting their missions, everyone turned their eyes toward Chen Xi, who had remained still.

What mission would this big shot who had just dominated the entire field choose?

Li Murou also leaned over and asked:

"Captain Chen, which one should we choose? It looks like the E-Rank ones are almost gone."

Chen Xi didn't speak; he was quickly calculating in his mind:

Currently, they had 30 military merit points.

To make an S-Rank class core card for Ye Fei, he needed at least two S-Rank materials.

One S-Rank material was 100 points, so two would be 200 points...

Doing E-Rank missions was too slow and a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi looked at the mission board in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

He stepped forward and extended his bracelet directly.

【Beep!】

【C-Rank Mission accepted: Clear Third-Tier Fierce Beasts in the Black Swamp Forest area Outside the Border (330, 231).】

【Reward: 100 military merit points.】

【Mission deadline: 30 days.】

As this crisp notification sound spread throughout the entire area, all the Professionals present, including Commander Sun and the Greedy Wolf Team, were completely stunned, their eyes almost popping out.

"I... I didn't see that wrong, right?"

"This big shot... actually accepted a mission for a Third-Tier Fierce Beast!?"

"That's a monster corresponding to Level 60 attributes! Is he crazy!?"

Li Murou widened her beautiful eyes, grabbed Chen Xi's arm, her voice changing pitch:

"Captain Chen! Did you read the wrong line? That's C-Rank! It corresponds to a Third-Tier Fierce Beast, which converts to at least a Lv.60 monster in a dungeon! Our average level is not even 20, can we even beat that?"

Even Ye Fei, who had always lacked presence and had just joined the team, was a bit panicked now.

She looked at Chen Xi, her eyes full of unease, and whispered:

"I also think it's a bit risky. Although I have that... trait, I don't know if this ability will still be useful when we go Outside the Border and face those kinds of Fierce Beasts. If it fails..."

If it failed, facing a Level 60 monster, this group of squishy low-level players under Level 20 would probably not even have a chance to run; they would be eaten in one bite, crunchy and delicious.

Facing the doubts of his teammates and the gazes of the people around him as if he were a madman, Chen Xi did not show the slightest panic.

He put one hand in his pocket, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, revealing his signature confident smile:

"What is there to fear?"

"The path is walked out, and experience is gained through killing. Since we don't know if your ability has a limit, let's just go and test it."

"Test it?" Ye Fei's mouth twitched.

This is putting our lives on the line to test it!

Just then, a powerful aura pressed over.

Commander Sun, with his hands behind his back and brows tightly locked, walked up to Chen Xi.

Those tiger-like eyes, having seen countless people, stared fixedly at Chen Xi, as if trying to see through whether this young man was just grandstanding or if he truly had an ace up his sleeve.

"You kid..."
