However, when he saw the information above Lu Fan’s head, he discovered even more shocking details.
Lu Fan’s points were in the six digits, and his ranking was already in first place.
If Yasanglai remembered correctly, just a day ago when they first met, Lu Fan only had a few hundred points and was ranked last. [How did he gain over five hundred thousand, nearly six hundred thousand points in just one day?! No! there is another major problem with this!]
Yasanglai clearly remembered that Lu Fan had accepted the Mission to kill the Diabolical Hell Demon right in front of him. At that time, he had thought it fortunate that Lu Fan took that Mission, since nobody could possibly complete it.
But now, that Mission detail was no longer above Lu Fan’s head, which could only mean…
[He completed the Mission!?] Yasanglai’s scalp went numb, and he could barely think straight. There was only one explanation for why Lu Fan’s previous Mission was gone, and why he had just flown out of a Dark Castle.
[Lu Fan managed to hunt down one of the Nine Hell Demons and cleared a Dark Castle!! Is he even Human?! Killing a Boss with one sword strike and levelling a snow slope is one thing, but now you’re telling me he has slaughtered a Level 85 Epic Grade Boss, one of the monstrous Nine Hell Demons!?]
Right now, Yasanglai truly wanted to slap himself twice to check if he was dreaming.
While Yasanglai was stunned, the several Monsters surrounding him showed no mercy, roaring as they pounced at him, intending to tear him apart.
Seeing Yasanglai about to be killed by the Monsters, Lu Fan glanced over, then directly summoned Xiao Ye and entered his Riding State before striking out with two consecutive sword attacks.
When the massive Sword Qi fell, how could these Monsters withstand Lu Fan’s Attack? They were all cleanly split apart by his Sword Qi.
This scene terrified Yasanglai so much he wailed repeatedly, almost thinking Lu Fan would kill him along with that sword strike.
However, Lu Fan did not raise his hand against him.
Seeing that Lu Fan sparing him, Yasanglai was relieved amid his terror and stammered his thanks, “Th-thank you for saving my life…”
[Saving your life?] Lu Fan could not help but laugh.
He put away the Flaming Meteor Sword and looked at Yasanglai with obvious disappointment. “It’s been a whole day, how have you gained so few points?”
“Uh…” Yasanglai was stunned by Lu Fan’s words, then felt bitter. [Boss, I’ve been working hard all day, constantly hunting Monsters. Although I’ve only earned just over twenty thousand points, I’ve already tried my best. How can you still look down on me?! Do you think everyone is like you, killing multiple Bosses with one sword strike!?]
Of course, Yasanglai dared not voice these complaints.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan could not be bothered to waste anymore time on Yasanglai. He had originally flown over intending to kill the ‘pig’ before accepting the Mission, but now it seemed the ‘pig’ was not fat enough to be worth raising!
Lu Fan had also noticed that this Yasanglai seemed to be something of a lucky star for him. Every time they met, he would encounter a Mission Scroll. This made Lu Fan even less intent on killing him.
If he keeps this guy alive for now, and kills him for points after he accumulated a hundred thousand or so, it would be more worthwhile.
“You’re gaining points way too slowly. You’re only ranked 17th right now. Aren’t you bringing shame to your South Country? You need to work harder at gaining points in the future!”
After giving Yasanglai this pep talk, Lu Fan rode Xiao Ye over to the Mission Scroll and directly accepted it.
As new Mission information appeared above Lu Fan’s head, he showed some surprise but still smiled before leaving according to the Mission’s guidance. It was clear he was going to complete it.
After Lu Fan left, Yasanglai finally came to his senses.
He had been confused about why Lu Fan would encourage him to gain more points.
[Why did he encourage me? That shouldn’t be right. Dragon Country and South Country don’t have good relations with one another. It is already great that he didn’t kill me. So, why would he care so much about me? Could it be…]
[Is Boss Lu Fan just a really nice person? Even though I’m from South Country, even though I was hostile toward Dragon Country and even wanted to kill him to become a South Country’s hero, Boss Lu Fan still showed me such great compassion! Not only has he saved me, but he has even encouraged me to work harder!?]
[Is this what it means to have the bearing of a large country? Amazing…]
Yasanglai’s eyes grew moist as he secretly vowed to work even harder at gaining points.
…
Meanwhile, after riding away on Xiao Ye, Lu Fan’s destination was not his Dark Castle.
Although the Dark Castle was very comfortable, Lu Fan knew that he was not here to tour around in luxury. He was here to find ways to gain points.
The Mission he just received was beyond Lu Fan’s expectations.
Because although this was still a Hunting Mission, the target was not a Monster, but a person.
The Mission showed that to complete it, Lu Fan needed to kill Eternal Country’s representative, Kiran.
Kiran’s location was shown on the map, just like the Diabolical Hell Demon for his previous Mission.
Lu Fan only needed to follow the Mission’s guidance to find Kiran.
It had to be said that representative Hunting Missions were very rare in the National Trial. Out of a thousand Missions in the Secret Realms, there might only be five representative Hunting Missions.
However, these Missions offered extremely generous reward points. It was said completing one representative Hunting Mission would earn at least a hundred thousand points.
Of course, if the target killed the hunter instead, they would receive the reward points.
This Mission was designed to make the National Trial more competitive, encouraging representatives to take points from other countries’ representatives through displaying their strength and wit.
The best way to gain more wagered resources was not to farm for more points, but to eliminate everyone else.
If one could eliminate all twenty-two countries’ representatives, even if the last survivor only had a hundred points, their country would still take all the wagered resources.
Naturally, Lu Fan had to complete such a Mission after receiving it.
He could get both the Mission reward and kill a ‘fat pig’ – was this not perfect for him?
Moreover, the target was Eternal Country’s representative Kiran, ranked in T1. Lu Fan estimated he must have quite a few points, at least, more than Yasanglai.
[Killing him should net at least fifty thousand points.]
Since the Dark Castle moved too slowly, Lu Fan planned on riding Xiao Ye to pursue Kiran.
Kiran was currently in another region. Riding Xiao Ye would take nearly three hours to fly there. With the Dark Castle’s speed, they might not arrive within 24 hours.
…
Meanwhile, on another swamp map.
Here, trees grew thickly and Poisonous Miasma permeated the air. A seven-coloured giant python over twenty metres long suddenly emerged from a swamp pool, instantly killing a Level 65 Gold Grade Boss with its tail.
Then, the seven-coloured giant python raised its body and opened its bloody maw.
In its mouth, a young man with wheat-coloured skin played with a rattlesnake in his hand while looking at the bloody knife icon displayed above his head.
“Someone’s accepted a Mission to hunt me? Interesting.” The man smiled, then stuck out his snake-like tongue and licked his lips.
