Regarding research points, Li Tianming had already stated that Zhang Kuang and the others would help publish several papers.
Qin Siyang would be listed as the second or third author, allowing him to gain a large number of research points. This would ensure that before the semester started, he could ascend to the top of South Glory University's ranking.
As for God-Hunting Points, he could only rely on himself.
Qian Wenzhao, however, pointed him in a direction.
"The Sequence Ability Bureau of District 9 has issued quite a few missions, all with very generous points. If you're in a hurry to farm points, you might want to check them out."
"What kind of missions are they?"
"They require specific parts from certain gods. If you can bring them back, you can submit the mission. However, when submitting, you need to provide a piece of the divine remains as proof. Also, the rewards for these missions are only sequence potions—no money."
"Money isn't an issue. I need points right now. But why does the Bureau require proof like that? Wouldn't the remains of the god be enough to confirm completion?"
"Of course. Otherwise, what's stopping you from earning points once at the Safe Zone entrance and then again at the Bureau? Wouldn't that mean you could just double-dip, getting both points and sequence potions twice?"
"...Fine," Qin Siyang felt a little disappointed.
Because that was exactly the loophole he had been planning to exploit.
Qin Siyang arrived at the Bureau's mission hall.
Looking at the wall full of missions, printed on different colored boards, he felt dizzy from all the choices.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[All missions: Solo or team, points doubled]
[Blood Sea Spider's Venomous Fangs (One Pair) – 600 Points]
[Human-Faced Horseshoe Crab's Back Shell (One Piece) – 1000 Points]
[Ghost-Faced Egret's Claws (Five) – 800 Points]
.
.
[Vine Core (Uncontracted) – 3000 Points per Gram]
[Crimson Crystal (Uncontracted) – 10000 Points per Gram]
[Titan Foxtail Grass (Uncontracted) – 10000 Points per Leaf]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing the Vine Core and Crimson Crystal, Qin Siyang was completely stunned.
'Vine Core, 3000 points per gram?'
'Crimson Crystal, 10000 points per gram?'
'Holy crap, I established the contract too early.'
Forget the Vine Core.
That entire bag of Crimson Crystals he had, just pulling out one piece would meet the requirements.
Qin Siyang smacked himself in the head furiously.
'Damn it!'
'Why did I have to be in such a rush to contract all the Crimson Crystals and bring them back?'
'Wouldn't it have been better to just hide them somewhere outside the Safe Zone?'
'As for the Titan Foxtail Grass… didn't Old Li say that Dean Chen wanted it?'
Of course, as soon as Old Li, that bald, chubby Mediterranean-looking guy, opened his mouth, it was bound to be something expensive.
Qin Siyang walked up to the counter, "Excuse me, how do I accept a mission?"
"Oh, our missions don't need to be accepted in advance. They're just posted here. The ones on gray boards are one-time missions—whoever submits the materials first gets the reward."
"The brown-board missions can be repeatedly submitted within a month."
"And those dozen or so red-board missions are permanent. Plus, if you're not satisfied with the rewards for red-board missions, you can negotiate with our Bureau's leadership."
Qin Siyang glanced at the board again.
Vine Core, Crimson Crystal, Titan Foxtail Grass—all red-board missions.
The meaning was clear.
These things were priceless.
If you could get them, you had the qualifications to negotiate directly with the Bureau's leadership.
Qin Siyang sneered in disdain.
'Isn't that obvious?'
'The Bureau is seriously overestimating its importance.'
With these treasures, he could negotiate with every major force inside the Safe Zone, not just the Bureau.
The Bureau was just an afterthought.
But for now, he really did need God-Hunting Points.
So, he said to the staff member, "Excuse me, if I obtain materials for a red-board mission, who do I talk to? What number should I call?"
The staffer looked at him like he was an idiot.
These red-board gods, how could an average person possibly obtain them?
Even if someone did, who would trade them to the Bureau for points?
The staff member replied impatiently, "Kid, come ask me again when you actually have one."
"I'm Qin Siyang."
"Oh, you're Qin Siyang? And I'm Li Tianming."
Qin Siyang curled his lips and tossed his identification onto the counter.
The staff member checked it and instantly stood up.
"You're Mr. Qin? Oh my, I'm so sorry! I didn't recognize you!"
Qin Siyang's reputation was well-known.
First, he obtained the Vine Core. Then, he acquired the Crimson Crystal.
If anyone could complete a red-board mission, it was him.
The staff member hastily handed back his ID with both hands.
Qin Siyang took it and asked, "Alright, now can you tell me. If I get the materials for a red-board mission, who do I contact?"
"If you obtain red-board god materials, you can directly contact Director Tang."
"Tang Wanjing? I don't have his contact information."
"I'll give it to you! This is Director Tang's personal number for handling red-board materials."
Qin Siyang looked at the number and asked, "Has anyone ever called this before?"
The staffer smiled awkwardly, "So far… no one. But I believe Mr. Qin can!"
Qin Siyang took pictures of every mission on the wall.
He had already decided. If it was on the mission board, he would bring it back and submit it.
Points were everything.
With preparations complete, Qin Siyang was used to hunting gods outside the Safe Zone.
After resting for two days at the kindergarten, he picked an auspicious day and eagerly set off again toward the exit of Safe Zone 213.
At first, Zhao Sifang and Gu Yunpeng wanted to tag along to gain some experience.
But after their last encounter, where they had dragged Qin Siyang down and nearly got both of them killed, and considering Qin Siyang had risked his life to save them, slaughtering three Ghost-Faced Egrets and collapsing unconscious afterward, the two of them decided not to trouble him this time.
Even Zhao Longfei, who initially wanted to keep Qin Siyang in the Safe Zone for the Vine Core, felt too embarrassed to insist.
Li Tianming advised Qin Siyang to keep things low-key.
If word got out that he was heading outside again, people might plot against him.
So, Qin Siyang quietly left the Safe Zone alone.
To avoid detection, he once again jumped out of Zhang Kuang's office window.
Then, he contacted the mute taxi driver.
Once outside the Safe Zone exit, he changed into a completely new outfit he had never worn before.
After passing through security, he slipped into a restroom, switched into his Crimson Silk Armor and Swift Boots, and quickly left the Safe Zone gates.
Aside from Li Tianming and a few others who knew, everyone else thought he was still lounging around in the kindergarten.
At this moment, Qin Siyang stood far beyond the exit of Safe Zone 213.
Strolling across the desolate wilderness.
