Lu Daoxing did exactly what he said. In just a little over two hours, he had taught Qin Siyang how to use that spatial tool.
After thanking him, Qin Siyang didn't stay to disturb Lu Daoxing's debt-repayment research and left the Miracle Building.
South Glory University felt rather quiet today.
President Zhao Longfei had gone to District 27 to visit his younger sister. Aside from Lu Daoxing, who was still working to pay off his debt, all the other professors had gone to District 2 to attend a research summit.
Qin Siyang didn't have any other plans either.
After returning to the guesthouse, Qin Siyang went to the front desk and ordered a bowl of vegetable and egg porridge.
After taking a sip, he said with a hint of disappointment, "Feels like it doesn't taste as good as before."
Then he set the porridge aside, lay down on the sofa, and scrolled through his phone.
The school forum was flooded with a new name.
Second-year student, Ban Dingyuan.
[Heard that Ban Dingyuan went to District 6 to challenge students of the same grade at East Glory University, and beat all of their top ten. Including that Wolf Card Hearts 6, Mills Richard, who insulted asian people at last semester's freshman exchange in the safe zone.]
[Ban Dingyuan single-handedly challenged the top ten of East Glory University's second year and returned victorious. He's boosted South Glory University's prestige.]
[Ban Dingyuan truly lives up to his name! He defeated all those Western foreigners from East Glory and upheld the might of asia!]
[Our South Glory University also has professors from Western countries like Harrison and Lister. I think we should view this matter rationally.]
[Back then, professors like Harrison and Lister would be called international friends. Those people at East Glory who call us a "inferior race" every day are the remnants of imperial powers. How can they be lumped together? Screw those foreigners! Hell yeah!]
[The Wolf Card rankings will be updated at the end of this year. The graduating seniors from last year will all be removed, and there'll be a major reshuffle. I wonder where Ban Dingyuan will rank.]
"Ban Dingyuan… the top of the second year, Wolf Card Diamond 4, went to East Glory University to stir things up?"
"Strong temperament, strong ability. Might be worth getting to know him if there's a chance."
Qin Siyang read for a while, then remembered something and took out a black phone from his storage box, turning it over in his hands.
It was the inheritance left to him by Chang Tianxiong, and also the only proof of identity for [Yu Gu].
This black phone, used by the Extinction Church to contact top assassins, was much smaller than a normal phone. The screen was a black-and-white LCD, capable of displaying only text.
After charging the phone, Qin Siyang tentatively pressed the power button.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
As soon as the phone turned on, notification sounds rang out nonstop like a symphony.
Qin Siyang opened the messages and took a look. Most of them were bounty missions from the Extinction Church.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Mission No. 079: Kidnap Chu Baxing (old mission reminder)]
[Completion reward: Ten Tier 4 God-Hunting tools, 100 grams of Luminous Black Crystal]
[Reward method: After confirming news of Chu Baxing's disappearance, half the reward can be collected at the underground city in the Sigma District. After providing the location where Chu Baxing is hidden, the remaining reward will be granted.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Old mission reminder? So this mission has been posted for quite a while?"
Seeing that the very first mission was to capture Chu Baxing, Qin Siyang let out a short laugh, "Looks like Prince Chu's situation isn't exactly great either."
The other missions were mostly related to forces or major figures within the safe zones.
Any mission directly sent to top-tier wanted criminals with Snake Cards was clearly anything but ordinary.
Even the rewards for these missions included many things Qin Siyang had never heard of. He would need to look up relevant information to understand their value.
At that moment, he noticed another mission.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Mission No. 183: Kidnap Qin Siyang (new mission)]
[Completion reward: Ten Tier 4 God-Hunting tools, 50 grams of Crimson Crystal, 5 square feet of inner leaf fragments of Titan thatch]
[Reward method: After confirming news of Qin Siyang's disappearance, ten Tier 4 God-Hunting tools can be collected at the underground city in the Sigma District. After providing the location where Qin Siyang is hidden, the remaining rewards will be granted.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Looking at the bounty about kidnapping himself, Qin Siyang's brows knit tightly.
"50 grams of Crimson Crystal is enough to plow Zhang Yingrui's grave seven times. That's quite generous."
"Kidnap me, get ten Tier 4 tools… hand over my location, then get the rest of the rewards? Why does it feel like the Crimson Crystal and Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf Fragments are coming from my own stash?"
"Using my own resources as the reward for kidnapping me? That's a neat trick, getting something for nothing."
Qin Siyang was thoroughly disdainful.
Anyone with a bit of sense could see through the small scheme behind this mission.
"If someone had the ability to kidnap me, why would they hand me over to someone else? They'd definitely try to squeeze all the rare materials out of me themselves."
"Submitting the mission? That's a joke. Anyone who's made it to top-tier Snake Card status isn't just powerful, they're smart too. Who wouldn't see through this?"
Qin Siyang was certain that no one would take this mission, nor would anyone ever complete it.
Once someone who kidnapped him was exposed, they would face relentless pursuit. Even selling off the loot would come with the risk of being robbed in turn.
No one does business that loses money.
But that didn't mean no one wanted him dead.
Qin Siyang believed that the number of people who wanted to take him away without a trace could line up from District 1 all the way to District 14121.
For example, the one who posted this mission.
As his perspective broadened, and as both his friends and enemies grew stronger, Qin Siyang no longer judged others' intentions with simple thinking.
Staring at this mission notice, the more he thought about it, the less simple it seemed.
The intent of the publisher was vicious.
"Maybe the person who posted this mission never intended to get something for nothing. They're using this method to throw out bait."
"Indirectly emphasizing that I'm carrying valuable treasures, making people covet them, stirring up their greed so they'll make a move against me, achieving the goal of eliminating me."
Qin Siyang's gaze sharpened, and he clenched his fist, "Playing dirty behind the scenes… just don't let me find out who posted this."
He continued browsing, skipping missions like killing Gu Weiyang, kidnapping Zhong Dingming, kidnapping Guan Fuhai, assassinating Qin Yingguang, and so on.
Most of them were old mission reminders. Aside from the one about kidnapping himself, there were no new missions.
Until he saw the second-to-last mission he had received three days ago.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Mission No. 185: Kill Ban Dingyuan (new mission)]
[Completion reward: Four Tier 4 God-Hunting tools, 1000 bottles of Sequence potion]
[Reward method: Bring Ban Dingyuan's corpse to the underground city in the Sigma District to collect the reward.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"On one side, news just came out that he defeated East Glory's students of the same grade, and on the other side, he's already on a kill list?"
"No need to guess. It was probably posted by someone from East Glory. What a bunch of sore losers."
After cursing a couple of times, Qin Siyang muttered, "Considering what Ban Dingyuan did, I should find a chance to warn him anonymously."
Qin Siyang opened the final new message.
This one had been sent the day before yesterday, the same day school started.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Mission No. 186: Kill Han Lingye (new mission)]
[Completion reward: Six Tier 4 God-Hunting tools, 2000 bottles of Sequence potion]
[Reward method: Bring Han Lingye's corpse to the underground city in the Sigma District to collect the reward.]
