Chapter 162: 129, Peak Chart Challenge

The three of them had a brief chat.

Soon, Liu Chuanwu went off to sleep in his laboratory.

He had fought all night without a single minute of rest, and he felt like he was about to drop dead if he didn’t catch up on sleep.

Normally, with a physical strength comparable to that of an advanced-level creature, he could go a whole week without feeling tired.

But Yuan Dongzhi had really drained him last night.

One round after another.

Being vastly outclassed in biological level, he just couldn’t keep up.

The Dragon Lady only seemed proper on the surface, but she was more licentious than anyone when out of sight, a true paragon of contrast.

After Liu Chuanwu left.

Lin Zichen sat down on a sofa nearby and started to check the tasks on the school app.

There were three types of tasks.

Published by the school.

Published by the students.

Published by external entities.

Among them, the tasks published by external entities, often by official departments like public security, were the most numerous.

Lin Zichen proceeded to open the tasks published by the school first.

After a brief look, he found that there weren’t many tasks and they were all minor affairs.

Either helping the president with some work or assisting the academic affairs office.

The reward for the tasks was mostly 1 credit, with a few offering 2 credits.

Although the credits were few, the tasks were not difficult and highly sought after, usually being snatched up the moment they were posted.

Lin Zichen wasn’t interested in these menial tasks.

After a quick look, he exited the page.

Next.

He clicked into the tasks published by students.

Task: Looking for a Genetic Integrator as a sparring partner, female required, with preference for a beast-eared beauty with fair skin and long legs.

Reward: 5 credits per month.

As soon as he clicked in, Lin Zichen saw this task that was hard to take seriously.

Is this really about finding a sparring partner?

Haha, I won’t even burst your bubble.

Continuing to scroll down, most of the tasks were more or less the same.

Most of them were aimed at making friends, which was a bit odd.

Exiting the student-published tasks page, he entered the externally published tasks page.

Task: Capture a gang of robbers, a 7-person group that has repeatedly robbed Exotic Beast Meat transport trucks, armed but with no cyborgs or Genetic Integrators, location near the outskirts of Qianzhen City.

Reward: 30 credits.

Task: Hunt Exotic Beasts, Ordinary Ninth Rank, Bloodthirsty Fish-Dragon, which has attacked fishing boats multiple times, location in Changzhou City’s Jinhai Bay.

Reward: 200 credits.

Task: Capture a rogue Genetic Integrator – Cat Woman, Common Sixth Order, a Shadow Night Cats Integrator who has tortured multiple men, active mainly in the red-light districts of Shanhai City.

Reward: 50 credits.

Task: Capture members of the Divine Plant Cult, a Heretic Believer of Common Eighth Rank, who incite or coerce college students into the cult, active mainly in Shanhai City.

Reward: 100 credits.

The externally published tasks were numerous and the credit rewards were high.

Lin Zichen felt a hint of excitement at this.

With these external tasks available, he wouldn’t have to worry about income anymore.

After checking the tasks, the next step was to accept one.

No sooner had he walked a short distance from the institute than he encountered an unwelcome guest.

It was a somewhat handsome young stranger.

Using “Danger Perception,” he sensed the biological pressure emanating from the young man, indicating an Ordinary Seventh Rank.

The youth had been standing under a tree playing with his phone out of boredom but, upon seeing Lin Zichen emerge from the institute, he immediately pocketed his phone and quickly stepped toward him.

In just a couple of strides, he stopped in front of Lin Zichen and demanded in a very unpleasant tone, “Lin Zichen, what exactly did Weiwei do to offend you that you need to target her like this?”

“You swelled her face during the opening trial, kicked her butt, and now you’re even competing with her for the same off-campus task. Is it Liu Chuanwu who told you to do this?”

“Picking on a girl, what does that make you, dare you fight me?”

The young man’s tone grew increasingly angry, and if not for the campus rules, he probably would have been ready to beat Lin Zichen up there and then.

Is this Ma Xiwei’s lapdog?

Or possibly Ma Zhenhe’s eunuch?

Thinking this, Lin Zichen asked, “Did Ma Xiwei send you, or was it President Ma?”

“Neither.”

The young man denied, then added, “I came on my own because I simply can’t stand you.”

Lin Zichen: “So what now?”

The young man: “Dare you fight me?”

Lin Zichen ignored the young man and walked right past him.

To still encounter such idiotic lapdogs in college, that’s quite something.

“Stop right there!”

Seeing Lin Zichen ignore him completely, the young man became frustrated and reached out to grab his shoulder.

Lin Zichen stopped as he wished.

Then, with few words and a fierce demeanor, he turned around, aimed at the somewhat handsome face, and landed a punch.

“Bang!”

Just that sound echoed.

The young man fell to the ground, knocked out cold, his face swelling visibly fast.

Without looking back, Lin Zichen continued on his way to the dormitory.

Zhongyuan Building No. 8, Dormitory 603.

When Lin Zichen opened the door and entered, Shen Qinghan was already in the kitchen cooking.

Walking into the kitchen and seeing that she had already prepared two dishes, he asked, “Did you get out of school early today?”

“I only had two classes this morning. I came back at 10, spent an hour training in the gym, took a shower, and then started cooking,” Shen Qinghan reported what she had done while continuing to stir-fry the last dish.

Soon, the final dish was ready.

Both of them sat down in the living room to eat, chatting while dining.

“Xiao Chen, the 10 pounds of Undead Slug Meat you bought from the credit mall last night have been delivered. I’ve put them in the fridge for you,” she said.

“Okay, I got it,” he replied.

“Xiao Chen, today in class our instructor mentioned there’s going to be a duel at 3 pm in the gymnasium. A peak ranking mechanical life form is challenging a Genetic Integrator, and it’s said to be a worthwhile peak battle. He suggested everyone in the class goes to watch. Do you want to come too?” she inquired.

“Let’s go watch it together,” Xiao Chen answered.

Then, he added, “Oh, and this morning at the institute, President Liu mentioned that the school offers family resettlement housing. Any qualifying genius can have their parents move in and even arrange jobs for them. I’m planning on bringing both my parents here to live. Do you want to bring yours over too?”

“Is there such a good deal?”

Shen Qinghan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Then, knitting her delicate eyebrows in concern, she said, “I’m not a freshman champion. Can I still enjoy such a benefit of family resettlement housing?”

Lin Zichen: “You’ve already reached a Genetic Fusion aptitude of 21%. Just mention it to your mentor, and it should be arranged for you.”

“True.”

Shen Qinghan nodded, and her whole being seemed excited as she said, “I’ll ask my mentor right away. If I can get a resettlement house, I’ll have my parents move in here.”

She was very homesick, and despite having left home just a few days ago, she already missed her parents.

Having her parents live at school would be perfect for her.

Lin Zichen casually said, “Then, let’s go home this weekend to tell our parents about it.”

Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly and agreed, “Okay, we’ll go back this weekend.”
