The Mission Hall is arguably the liveliest place in the South Campus, bustling with people coming and going.

These people were positioned on one side of the main entrance, naturally attracting the attention of many.

"Hey, what are they doing? I haven't heard of any teacher-led missions lately." The man who spoke nudged his companion with his elbow.

His companion gave him a look as if he were an idiot: "Have you forgotten? This is the first time our academy has accepted prospective students. Prospective students need to take on three mandatory tasks every month. It's the beginning of the month, and they should be here to pick up their tasks."

"Is that so?!" the man exclaimed, looking at the prospective trainees standing on one side of the door with a surprised gaze.

His exclamation was quite loud, and coupled with his undeniable gaze, it successfully attracted the attention of Manager Qian and the ten prospective trainees.

Lin Jingge glanced at the people pointing and whispering about their group, then stopped looking and quietly waited for Manager Qian to assign tasks.

The conversation in the corner continued.

"I went on a mission last month, and I just got back." The man looked around in this direction before being dragged away by his companion.

As they were being dragged away, his eyes suddenly widened.

That's because he was able to see the cultivation level of those prospective trainees.

"Holy crap, there are seven Grand Spirit Masters?! When did Grand Spirit Masters become trainees?!" At first, the man thought he was seeing things, and he looked at it several times before he was sure.

"What's so surprising? There are still several Spirit Kings this year. Otherwise, why do you think the academy would start accepting prospective students?"

His companion sighed.

You have to understand, even as senior brothers and sisters, they are only at the level of Great Spirit Master. They were lucky to be born at the right time. Otherwise, many of them probably wouldn't even be able to become prospective students and would have been eliminated directly.

Hearing the conversation between the two, those around who were puzzled suddenly realized what was going on.

Some people who had been on missions for too long came back to the academy to hand in their missions. People who didn't know the situation initially looked down on these people when they heard that they were prospective trainees.

After hearing what the people around me said, the slight disdain I had felt vanished instantly.

You should know that some of them were probably not as good as the ten prospective trainees on one side of the entrance now!

Of course, there were also those who gloated.

It's important to know that formal trainees can only start taking on tasks after a year, and whether or not they take on tasks is entirely voluntary, unlike prospective trainees who are not only required to take on three tasks every month, but also have their contribution points for those three tasks halved.

It was truly tragic, a truly horrific sight!

...

"You can choose to do three level-one tasks or one level-two task. Remember to read the task requirements and time limits carefully. After you have completed all the tasks, come and register with me."

After explaining a number of things, Manager Qian led the ten people into the mission hall.

The mission hall was even more crowded, with people coming and going, each looking for a suitable mission.

Of course, this liveliness excludes the task-giving areas for level one and two tasks.

As we all know, most level one and two tasks are simple and tedious, such as weeding and cleaning, and occasionally there are tasks like helping to catch pets.

These types of tasks are posted by students themselves, and they contribute very few points.

The task is tedious and yields few contribution points. Compared to other tasks that offer hundreds of contribution points, no one is willing to take it.

They headed straight for the windows at level one and two.

Lin Jingge looked around the first level and found it was full of miscellaneous tasks from within the academy.

With a blank expression, she turned and headed towards the Level 2 Mission Area. It was just next door, a short walk away.

Level 2 missions are more difficult than Level 1 missions, and involve capturing more low-level monsters.

Cute pets like the Swift Rabbit and the Water Cat.

[Gege, take that one! The last one!] Xiaoshi suddenly said.

Upon hearing Xiao Shi's voice in her mind, Lin Jingge quickly looked towards the jade slip placed at the very back.

He instinctively reached out to take it, but just as he touched it, his other hand snatched the jade slip from Lin Jin's hand.

Lin Jingge suddenly turned around.

Perhaps it was Lin Jingge's somewhat cold gaze that startled the woman.

Lin Jingge had a good memory and quickly recognized the woman.

You should know that there were only three girls among the trainees, and this person was one of the people who were eliminated from the official trainees along with her.

"What are you looking at!" The woman was startled and took a step back. After realizing that she had been frightened by the other party's gaze, she roared in anger and embarrassment.

Lin Jingge glanced at the jade slip in her hand, said nothing, and turned back to continue looking at the jade slip placed by the window.

Seeing that Lin Jingge didn't dare to talk back, the woman assumed that Lin Jingge was afraid and immediately became somewhat smug.

She patted her startled chest and quickly probed the jade slip with her divine sense.

After reading the contents of the jade slip, her expression changed slightly.

Somewhat annoyed, he slammed the jade slip onto the stage and went to the first-level area.

Lin Jingge glanced at the woman's outrageous back with a strange look, then picked up the jade slip that the woman had slapped onto the table next to her.

The contents of the jade slip were very simple:

Clean up the ten beehives on the back hill outside the South Campus.

Note: Most of the wasps in the back mountain are level one monsters, with a small number being level two.

Reward: 100 contribution points.

After reading it, Lin Jingge instinctively wanted to give up on the mission.

This task is difficult, as it only involves clearing out level one and two monsters, and the contribution points are probably the highest among level one and two monsters.

It's not that simple. Although they are only level one or two monsters, wasps are social creatures. Imagine the scene of a swarm of wasps chasing and biting you if you disturb their nest.

Just thinking about it made Lin Jingge feel terrible.

She subconsciously resisted.

[I've looked at all of these, and this is the only one that allows me to leave the academy. Plus, the location happens to be in the back mountain, so maybe I can find a cave like the one before.]

Since Xiao Shi had already said that, what could Lin Jingge say? In the end, she could only accept the task.

After queuing up to register, Lin Jingge left the mission hall with the jade slip in her pocket.

The contribution point exchange area is right next to the mission hall.

It was getting dark, and with nothing else to do, Lin Jingge went inside for a stroll.

Perhaps to encourage students to complete tasks, the redemption area was filled with many treasures and even had a second floor.

However, Lin Jingge doesn't have enough contribution points to go up to the second floor right now.

The sheer variety of delicious treats is overwhelming.

Centuries-old spiritual fruits and herbs have become commonplace here.

The display area for medicinal pills was even more extravagant, featuring pills such as the "Breaking Wall Pill" and the "Marrow Cleansing Pill."

It almost dazzled Lin Jingge, this country bumpkin from out of town.

Xiao Shi's mouth watered at the sight of these things; if these treasures were replaced with spirit stones, they could crush him to death!

Thinking of this, it became even more interested in the treasures on the second floor.
