When Tang Cheng returned, she was stunned to see Lin Jingge in the yard.
She was taken aback at first, then rushed forward like a cannonball.
"Gege, what are you doing here?!"
"The academy allowed me to move back in." Lin Jingge smiled and hugged Tang Cheng, who rushed towards her.
"Really?!" Tang Cheng exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful!"
Lin Jingge took out a spiritual fruit that she had nurtured and placed it in Tang Cheng's hand.
"I probably won't be selling spirit fruits at the night market anymore," Lin Jingge said.
Because she had already decided to take on some tasks to earn contribution points.
This is the fastest way to gather enough money to save Granny Lin.
Since the academy already has them, it saves her the trouble of searching everywhere or buying them at auctions.
And most importantly, the price at the auction will probably not be much cheaper than that at the academy.
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to go. It's not a big deal," Tang Cheng said nonchalantly.
After that, Lin Jingge went back to her room to cultivate.
Another day has passed.
Lin Jingge ran into Tang Cheng, who was also about to leave, as she was going out.
Tang Cheng was somewhat surprised to see Lin Jingge: "Don't you have classes? Why are you up so early?"
"Something came up." Lin Jingge walked behind Tang Cheng and closed the door behind her.
"I see." Tang Cheng nodded, without asking any further questions, and parted ways with Lin Jingge at the exit.
Lin Jingge went straight to the mission hall.
This place is no different from when she came before.
However, perhaps because it's so early now, there are far fewer people than before.
Lin Jingge went directly to the Level 3 mission area and looked around. She found that many large team missions had much higher contribution values.
The contribution value for individual tasks is significantly lower.
But now she was all alone, and after much deliberation, she finally chose a mission to hunt down a level three Gale Wolf.
The Gale Wolf, renowned for its speed, is one of the most difficult to hunt. This is because once they encounter danger, they will flee without hesitation.
They are much smarter than those monsters that go berserk when they can't win.
This is the level 3 mission that contributes the most points.
Lin Jingge picked up the jade slip with the task written on it and was about to register.
However, this was opposed by the teacher at the registration office.
“You’re still a freshman who hasn’t been in school for long. Normally, you should be able to take on missions after a year, but Manager Qian has made a special exception for you. However, even so, it’s stipulated that you can only take on missions below level two. These level three missions are not allowed.”
"But teacher, I saw that these level three missions can be accepted by anyone above the Great Spirit Master level, right? I'm already a Great Spirit Master..."
"These are for students who have been enrolled for a year. You are freshmen, you haven't learned anything yet. What if something happens to you while you're out in the wild?! The academy is responsible for you!" The teacher's tone was already somewhat displeased.
She believed she was doing this for the student's own good, but the student was all talk and no action. What good was a high level of cultivation if he hadn't learned any skills? Even with a high level of cultivation, his mortality rate in the wild would be very high.
Hearing her teacher's tone, Lin Jingge naturally sensed the displeasure in his voice. With a stern face, she looked at the jade slip on the table, hesitating for a moment.
Tasks below level two not only contribute few points but are also very troublesome, mostly involving catching cute pets or doing odd jobs within the academy, with very few outside missions.
Both of these tasks are designed for beginners.
"Alright, put it back. Go find a level 2 quest and bring it back to me so I can register it for you." The teacher pushed the jade slip in front of Lin Jingge and then waved her hand.
Lin Jingge remained inactive for a long time.
The teacher sitting down frowned when he saw her like this, and his face turned stern as if he wanted to say something more.
However, before she could speak, someone behind Lin Jingge patted her on the shoulder.
"Didn't you hear the teacher tell you to change your task? Hurry up, we've been waiting in line for so long, please make way." The woman's words were very impolite.
The somewhat high-pitched voice sounded familiar to Lin Jingge.
She turned around and saw someone she knew.
That's a grass carp! How could it not look familiar?
When Qingyu saw Lin Jingge's face, her eyes widened immediately.
After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "What are you doing here?!"
Lin Jingge was speechless.
The people who appear here basically all have only one purpose: to register for a task.
Isn't that a rhetorical question?
As soon as Qingyu asked the question and met Lin Jingge's gaze, she immediately realized what she had said and her expression stiffened slightly.
Standing beside Qingyu, Lu Huaizhou, whose jade slips were waiting to be registered for tasks, hurriedly spoke up to break the suffocating atmosphere.
"I see you want to take on a level three mission, but since you're a freshman, you can't, right?" Lu Huaizhou's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, making people feel comfortable just listening to it.
Although Lin Jingge wasn't voice-dependent, she wouldn't ignore someone if they were nice.
She nodded.
Qingyu watched Lu Huaizhou and Lin Jingge talking from the side, and immediately became somewhat displeased.
As if asserting her dominance, Qingyu clung to Lu Huaizhou's arm with both hands, calling out in a high-pitched voice, "Senior Brother Lu~"
Lu Huaizhou turned and glanced at her, signaling with his eyes that she should remain silent for the time being.
"Here's the thing, we've borrowed a team's assignment, and there's still one spot left in the team. Would you like to join?"
Lu Huaizhou extended an invitation to Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge is already at the Great Spirit Master level, almost on par with the others in their team, so they're not worried about her holding them back. It's better to do Lin Jingge a favor; they can get her to sell them some spiritual plants and fruits later.
It should be noted that there are not many wood-type cultivators in the South Academy, and even fewer who can cultivate level four spiritual fruits.
Lin Jingge's lowered eyes lit up.
This is a team mission! Even if you have to share contribution points with your teammates, even if it's split equally, it's still much more than if you go it alone.
Just as she was about to agree, she heard the green fish across from her tugging at Lu Huaizhou and complaining.
"Senior, why did you let a newbie join our team? She'll only drag us down. Please don't let her come!"
“Qingyu.” Lu Huaizhou frowned slightly and pulled his hand away from the other person’s: “Junior Sister Lin’s cultivation level is not much different from ours. This mission is not too difficult. I believe Junior Sister Lin will not hold us back.”
“I…” Qingyu pouted in dissatisfaction after being refuted.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jingge felt a headache coming on.
With Qingyu there, she instantly didn't want to go anymore.
"Senior Brother Lu, how many contribution points do you get for this mission?" Lin Jingge asked subconsciously, clutching the jade slip tightly in her hand, but she had already made up her mind.
"That's a total of 100,000 contribution points. I already have nine people here, so there's one spot available. You..."
