“Master, please rest assured. Should anything happen, I will discuss it with my Junior Brother and Junior Sister.”
At this point, her voice became low.
“But if anyone truly dares to seek trouble with my Snake Heart Gate, I will make them all regret ever being born into this world…”
As she spoke,
Helinta’s body faintly glowed with a fiery red light, and a strong killing intent constantly boiled and surged within her.
Her usually cold and expressionless face became distorted.
“Hmm?”
Jiang Zuo frowned, his figure suddenly flashing in front of Helinta, and he pointed a finger at her glabella.
In an instant,
It was as if an invisible force descended with a roar.
Under this force,
The killing intent on Helinta’s body melted and dissipated quickly, like snow under the scorching sun.
Her expression gradually calmed down.
“The Ghost Killing Blade’s power is strong, but its drawbacks are also extremely severe.
To cultivate it, while improving your strength, you must also improve your state of mind.
Remember, even the strongest blade technique is controlled by people, not the blade controlling people.”
Jiang Zuo said in a deep voice.
“For these next few days, stay honestly in the academy, recite Buddhist scriptures and Daoist texts, and try not to fight with anyone until the killing intent on your body is completely worn away!”
“Yes, Master!”
Helinta lowered her head, her voice slightly hoarse.
However, Jiang Zuo did not notice a subtle, unnoticeable glint in the depths of Helinta’s eyes as she lowered her head.
…
Hu Qi was unaware of what happened after he left.
He didn’t wander much and went straight back to his dormitory.
He opened a browser on his configured computer, typed in a string of URLs, and clicked search.
A number box appeared.
After entering his number, password, and completing facial verification, he successfully logged in.
This was Zhu Xi’s exclusive website.
At the top of the homepage were ten red characters.
“Zhu Xi will be white, and the cold and heat will perform their functions.”
Hu Qi had curiously logged in and glanced at it a few times before, so he was generally familiar with the situation.
This website was very concise, without any superfluous advertisements.
The entire website was divided into three main sections: Mission Hall, Rankings, and Communication Forum.
Mission Hall: Displays various available missions, including mission descriptions, target information, and rewards.
Rankings: Displays rankings based on the number of completed missions, success rate, etc.
Communication Forum: An area for Zhu Xi members to communicate and discuss.
Here, all members were real-name verified, so there would be no strange or bizarre names.
Hu Qi directly clicked on the Mission Hall.
He saw various mission information that needed to be processed displayed there.
“Mission Target: Lingtao City, Third Mental Hospital. Mentally ill patients have been frequently disappearing, with no success in finding them.
According to specialized investigations, it is suspected to be the work of a Blood Slave.
Mission Requirements: Find the Black Blood Species hidden within, kill it, and bring back the corpse.
Recommended Number of People: Two or more, with strength at least at Qi Blood Two Transformations.
Mission Reward: 160,000 yuan, 12 points.”
“Target: Qirong City has recently seen frequent sightings of Blood Slaves within the city. Investigate the specific reason or kill a Blood Slave.
Additional Information: It has been determined that a Lower Black-Blood Species exists among them. The opponent has been severely wounded by a certain adult from Zhu Xi. Once discovered, please report immediately.
Recommended Number of People: Three or more, at least Qi Blood Three Transformations.
Mission Reward: Rewards will be given based on mission completion. For detailed reward information, please click the image below.”
…
Each mission had a simple description, and some special missions were even marked.
The recommended number of people for these missions was at least two, because performing a mission alone was prone to accidents, while two people were relatively safer.
Of course, this was only a suggestion and not mandatory.
As for whether it was one person or two, it mainly depended on the willingness of the Zhu Xi member taking the mission.
After all, with one more person, the reward would be split in half. For some, this was extremely uneconomical.
As for the rewards,
Money goes without saying, and the final points were the internal currency of Zhu Xi. Points could be used to exchange for weapons, secret medicines like Spirit Snake Balm, Qi and Blood Skills, and even some federal official positions.
Hu Qi also saw a mission related to Qirong City.
The reward for this mission was quite generous, and different rewards could even be given based on specific circumstances.
However, this mission was not within his consideration, as there was a lurking Lower Black-Blood Species within.
Although this Lower Black-Blood Species was severely wounded, he did not believe he could contend with it.
As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.
No matter how good the mission reward was, one needed to be alive to claim it.
Furthermore, what he needed was not the mission reward, but actual combat.
If he encountered a Lower Black-Blood Species, it would not be combat, but suicide.
There were many missions, and scrolling down, there were actually over three hundred pages.
This number was not fixed but fluctuated constantly.
During this time, some missions were taken and completed, while others were just posted.
However, although it seemed like a lot, these were missions that covered all regions within the Xi Ya Federation.
Some were in Anshan City, while others were in other cities thousands of kilometers away.
He also noticed something else.
The most difficult missions only involved the level of a Lower Black-Blood Species, and there were no requirements to capture or kill a Lower Black-Blood Species, nor did they involve Mid-level Black-Blood Species.
The small number of Mid-level Black-Blood Species might be one reason, but a greater possibility was that his level was not high enough.
Even if he saw them, they would be useless, as such missions would simply not be open to him.
After all, such information was also a type of intelligence and classified material.
Zhu Xi’s operating model was very loose; in Hu Qi’s opinion, it was more like a form of employment guild.
However, it made sense; Martial Artists, as beings with powerful strength and extraordinary abilities, would hardly be willing to be overly restricted.
This method was undoubtedly the best choice.
Hu Qi’s gaze swept across, searching for a mission suitable for himself.
His goal was very clear.
He needed to find a Blood Slave that he could practice against, preferably one that was close by.
With a goal in mind, the mission was easy to find.
Hu Qi also saw the option to select a region on the side.
After clicking it, a map appeared, almost covering half of the Earth Star.
Those were all areas of the Xi Ya Federation, divided into shapes of various sizes by different lines, which were precisely the divisions of each province in the Xi Ya Federation.
Hu Qi quickly found his province on it—Donglin Province.
After clicking it, the missions quickly reduced to just over twenty.
Hu Qi’s gaze swept across.
He quickly locked onto a mission.
“Target: Anxin Cemetery.
Mission Description: Recently, a heavy rain caused a newly buried tomb to show signs of collapse.
When preparing to repair it, it was discovered that a recently buried corpse had disappeared without a trace. After inspecting the scene, it is believed to be related to a Black Blood Species.
Mission Requirements: Kill or capture the corpse thief and bring peace to the deceased.
Recommended Number of People: Two or more.
Mission Reward: 100,000, 18 points.”
Upon seeing this, Hu Qi’s expression was a bit strange.
In this world, after death, burial and cremation can be chosen by the individual and are not mandatory; some even choose sea burial.
However, generally, people choose to be buried in the earth for peace.
Presumably, these people never thought when they were alive that they would face another calamity after death.
However, this undoubtedly reduced the risk, at least proving that the opponent’s strength should not be too great.
If it were a Lower Black-Blood Species, it would be impossible for them to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, he clicked on the location.
He found that it was not far from here, right in Anshan City, but located near the western suburbs.
Hu Qi thought for a moment and directly clicked to accept it.
Immediately, a message popped up.
“Mission received successfully. Mission duration is ten days. Please note! Once this time is exceeded, you will need to re-receive the mission.”
“Now, would you like to continue forming a team, or proceed alone?”
Below were three options.
“Let’s get some teammates, for safety…”
“Mere scum, I alone am enough!”
“I’m sorry, I chose incorrectly just now. Please give me another chance.”
There should be one more update tonight, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
The author is not full-time and has a job. The listing was also a bit sudden, with no stored drafts, so I can only write a chapter during work breaks. Please bear with me…
