Qin Siyang's gaze immediately locked onto the two words "Han Lingye."
Even though this person had no interaction with him at all, he had still left a deep impression in Qin Siyang's mind, like a brand seared into it.
Han Lingye, someone completely unrelated to Wen Shu, yet he tried to frame her for cheating during her college entrance exam.
Wen Shu had always kept a low profile, never showing off, handling things carefully and quietly, hiding deeper than a Yellow Silver Star mine. There was no reason for her to make enemies.
So Qin Siyang concluded that Han Lingye must have been targeting him.
Afterward, Qin Siyang tried to look into Han Lingye's background and also asked Zhao Longfei.
But all he found out was that Han Lingye was the grandson of Han Huizhi, the commander of the Han-Legion. That was it.
Han Huizhi's descendants were all kept under tight wraps. Very few people knew their roots.
For a long time before, this grandson of Han Huizhi had never shown his face. There was no information, no intelligence, not even a single photo.
Even now, Qin Siyang still didn't know what Han Lingye actually looked like, only a fleeting side profile from when he appeared outside the examination hall in Area 14121.
"This mission order feels off. Han Lingye only showed up two or three months ago, and aside from cheating at the exam, he hasn't made any other moves. And someone's already targeting him? Just how many secrets does this bastard carry?"
"What a pity. I don't even know where he is right now, otherwise I'd take this mission while I'm at it. Kill him, search his memory properly, and see exactly why he ended up making an enemy out of me."
Because Han Lingye's sudden appearance was full of unknowns, Qin Siyang couldn't help preparing for the worst. Han Huizhi of the Han Legion intending to act against him.
But he had no idea what he had done to get tangled up with the Han Legion. The thought alone made him uneasy.
Because of that, his wariness toward Han Lingye even exceeded that toward Xiao Zhigang.
If he could kill Han Lingye, remove this hidden threat, and shift the blame onto [Yu Gu], it wouldn't be a bad outcome.
After reading all the new information, Qin Siyang opened the draft box again.
He remembered Chang Tianxiong saying that he had left some information in the draft box about communicating with the Annhilation Church, so Qin Siyang could properly wear the identity of [Yu Gu] without arousing suspicion.
[If you want to learn about or submit missions to the Annhilation Church's assassination division, you need to go to the underground city in the Sigma District.]
[Before entering the underground city, you need to buy a Tier 3 invisibility cloak that can conceal your form and aura. Otherwise, you won't be able to get through the underground city's entrance. As for how to get one, you can ask Old Li and the others. As for where the underground city in the Sigma District is, you can ask Principal Zhao.]
[Inside the underground city, you'll see mission orders from the Annhilation Church's assassination division posted everywhere. There's no such thing as claiming a mission. Whoever completes it first and comes to the underground city to submit it gets the reward.]
[Submitting a mission is also very simple. First, prepare two storage boxes. One storage box is for submitting the mission, containing the proof of completion and a slip of paper with the mission number. The other storage box is for receiving the reward, and it should be empty.]
[Throughout the underground city, there are double-layered circular stone platforms engraved with runes. When submitting a mission, walk up to one of these platforms. Place the storage box containing the proof and mission number on the upper platform, then place the empty storage box for receiving the reward on the lower platform, and wait quietly.]
[After about five minutes, the mission proof inside the storage box on the upper platform will disappear, and the empty storage box on the lower platform will be filled with the mission reward. This way, no one knows what mission you submitted, nor what reward you received. There is no risk of exposing yourself.]
At this point, Qin Siyang's eyes widened.
'That double-layered platform is insane!'
'The Annhilation Church's assassination division actually has such a powerful item, able to transfer objects through space like that?'
He had always thought that the Annhilation Church, the biggest evil cult within the safe zone, must be struggling miserably under the joint suppression of various forces.
Even if individual believers were strong, they couldn't withstand being targeted by everyone. By now, their strength was probably only slightly stronger than Hu Chan's Zephyr Church.
But after seeing what was described about the underground city, Qin Siyang realized he had been wrong.
Just based on that double-layered platform alone, the Annhilation Church's strength was beyond question.
It even gave off the feeling of a ruler of the night, standing on equal footing with the United Government.
'Could it be that within the safe zone, the Annhilation Church is actually the true orthodoxy?'
Qin Siyang shook his head and continued reading.
[After completing a mission, a floating light screen will appear in front of you, asking whether you want to publicly announce that you completed the mission. If you choose "yes," the Annhilation Church will release information confirming that you did it. If you choose "no," you just take the reward, and no one but you will know what you've done.]
Qin Siyang curled his lips.
This choice is completely unnecessary. Only an idiot would choose to publicize their own dirty work. Keeping quiet and getting rich is much better.
He mocked it internally and kept reading.
[However, I believe that wealthy little Qin wouldn't be interested in the meager rewards on the mission orders posted in the underground city.]
[Not only would you not be interested, but even "Yu Gu," who already holds the Snake Card Club J rank, wouldn't be interested either. The missions you'd be willing to take should only be the ones notified to you via message. Only those are missions meant for high-level assassins.]
[Because only by completing missions that match your level can you obtain generous rewards. And only by completing missions at your level and making them public can you gain recognition from the Warren Chamber of Commerce and raise your Snake Card rank.]
"I do bad things and still need recognition from the Warren Chamber of Commerce to raise my Snake Card rank? What, are they worried my bounty is too low and no big shots will bother to kill me? Am I crazy?"
Qin Siyang complained, unable to understand why Chang Tianxiong was so fixated on making completed missions public.
But right after, Chang Tianxiong gave him the answer.
[At first, I didn't understand either why it had to be made public. But I always felt the Annhilation Church had other plans, so every time I completed a mission, I chose to announce it. Gradually, I reached my current Snake Card rank.]
[When I advanced to Snake Card Diamond 10, I obtained this phone at the double-layered platform and saw the information in its memo. I've already deleted the message, but I remember roughly what it said: "Congratulations on stepping into the ranks of top-tier Snake Cards. Next, you will receive some non-public missions with even more generous rewards. Furthermore, as your Snake Card rank rises, the God of Annhilation will bestow more divine blessings upon you."]
[At first, I didn't know what divine blessings were, and the Annhilation Church didn't seem interested in explaining it to me. So I kept taking missions, submitting them, and announcing them. Until I became Club J.]
[Standing before the double-layered platform, I received the divine blessing. I was pulled into a strange space. I don't want to talk about what happened inside, but where I once struggled to move forward on the path of a believer, after receiving the blessing, I advanced as if running with ease.]
[And just three months later, I broke through to Sequence Level Seven.]
