Basic levels like the Wooden Dummy, the Narrow Pass, and the Hulao Pass have a minimum cost of 50,000 and a maximum of 200,000.
The second reward is a special bonus for achieving an "SSS" rating on a level.
That is, the package that is currently being unpacked before sinking.
The package wasn't large, but it was surprisingly heavy, so I was quite curious about what was inside before it got too heavy.
After removing the elaborate outer packaging, a wooden box bearing the logo of the Martial Arts Department was revealed.
Upon opening the wooden box, Chen Qian was taken aback by what he saw lying on the red silk cloth inside.
"Martial Arts Token?"
Shen Qian's surprise didn't stem from the fact that the reward was the martial arts token he had recently obtained from Wang Shuo, but rather from the martial arts token inside the wooden box...
There are five pieces!
That's really an exaggeration.
Because the Martial Arts Token is something that both the Third and Sixth Senior Brothers have a hard time finding, although Shen Qian hasn't figured out the purpose of the Martial Arts Token yet.
But considering that even the top players only get ten yuan a year, it's clear how precious this thing is.
Shen picked them up and examined them. Sure enough, they were exactly the same martial arts tokens as the ones in his hand, only the serial numbers on the back were different.
At this moment, Shen Qian's gaze suddenly sharpened, because he noticed that there was another letter underneath the silk cloth.
To be opened by classmate Shen Qian.
The six characters written in pen on the envelope were perfectly natural, exuding an indescribable charm, and Shen Qian vaguely felt that the handwriting looked somewhat familiar.
He opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and began to read.
After a long while, Chen Qian, his face blank, put down the letter, let out a slight breath, and his eyes still held a hint of contemplation and surprise.
The person who wrote the letter to him was named Wu Wei.
His identity is... the Minister of the Chinese Martial Arts Department!
If Marquis Gao Wenyuan of Jingcheng is a living legend, then figures like Wu Wei are well-known legends.
Because he frequently appears on television, but you can't possibly encounter him in your daily life.
Shen Qian never expected that the other party would actually write him a letter.
The letter has two parts.
The first part is printed text, and judging from the format, it seems to be standard content to congratulate martial artists who break records. However, this part also mentions that the normal reward for breaking level records is a martial arts token.
Because the level rating reached SSS, an extra piece was awarded.
In other words, you can only get two martial arts tokens before you sink normally.
The latter part was handwritten. Looking at the sharp characters that seemed almost unrestrained by the paper, Shen Qian finally remembered that Wu Wei had once written a poem on the title page of the college entrance examination guide, and it was written in the same font.
No wonder he thought he looked familiar.
Wu Wei's handwritten notes were not many, just a few sentences:
"Hearing that classmate Shen Qian has broken through the Bronze Man Formation, another genius has risen in China. I am very pleased and hereby present three martial arts tokens as a congratulatory gift."
Birds soar high in the sky, fish leap wide in the sea; may my classmate Chen Qian continue his efforts, ride the wind and waves, and soar to the highest peak!
In other words, three out of the five martial arts tokens were gifts from Wu Wei.
Shen Qian felt a subconscious excitement, but also inexplicably felt some pressure.
Given Wu Wei's status, sending out the martial arts training order was certainly not a casual act; it was most likely intended to have a practical purpose before the sinking.
What exactly is the Vientiane Tower?
Shen Qian grew increasingly curious, and he vaguely felt that it was probably not as simple as an ordinary secret realm.
...Never mind, I'll find out once I get to university.
After carefully putting away the martial arts training order, I didn't delay before heading out to the supermarket and pharmacy, and then went home to start packing.
The intense hunger continued to gnaw at Shen Qian's body; it was time to break through to the initial stage of martial arts!
One by one, Shen Qian put the satiety pills, concentrated fruit juice, a change of clothes, and medicines to treat emergency internal and external injuries into his pack.
To obtain the primordial energy, according to Shen Qian's conjecture, one should have to leave the city.
After all, Liu Changqing also broke through outside the city.
The preparations for this sinking were very thorough, and it can be considered as experience gained after the last breakthrough.
The system won't kill him, but it might make him look very pathetic.
After leaving a note for his parents explaining that he had been studying at Lao Wang's house for the past two days, he took a shower before going to bed. Then he opened the system's auto-play interface and started inputting his requirements.
"First, find a suitable source of energy and break through to the initial stage of martial arts."
"Second, if you cannot break through and return to Jingcheng before June 6th, this AFK mission will not be executed."
This is an idle task that I entered after careful consideration, in order to prevent it from "losing control" again like the last time I had an epiphany.
June 6th is the latest date to print your exam admission ticket; if you miss it, you will miss the college entrance examination.
However, the prudent Shen Qian thought it over and called Liu Changqing again, explaining his plan to leave the city to break through to the initial stage of martial arts. He asked Liu Changqing to keep an eye on his whereabouts if there was no news by the 6th, as a kind of extra insurance.
As for Liu Changqing's offer of "protection," Shen Qian politely declined, since Liu had too many secrets...
He also believed that the system would not put him in mortal danger.
Afterwards, Shen Qian edited a birthday greeting text message on the bracelet to be sent to Ding Yi at midnight on June 6th. After carefully considering and making sure that nothing was missing, Shen Qian clicked "Start Hanging Up".
"AFK task generated, system is parsing..."
"System parsing complete, calculating the optimal path..."
Hearing the prompt in his mind, Shen Qian nodded slightly. It seemed that according to the system's calculations, three days would be enough, and he wouldn't miss the college entrance examination.
"Mission objective locked, system is automatically navigating..."
