People in Yu-Gi-Oh! The hyper-converged audience is also integrated

Chapter 344 It's all set up.
Yan Lang pressed a few buttons on the supercomputing ring, and sixty-four names appeared on the light screen.

This list contains the eliminated participants from this trial. The highest score was 494, just one step away from the cutoff.

At the very bottom, the only name with a two-digit integral stands out starkly.

ID: Bian Yuelong-Li Guanqi.

Points: 14.

Bian Yuelong-Tang Xin, who is second to last, still has 255 points.

Fourteen points is simply too eye-catching.

On the training field, hundreds of eyes turned to Li Guanqi and his group, like searchlights, and the sound of whispers and murmurs filled the air.

"Fourteen points? I get more points for cleaning in a week."

"I heard he has a guaranteed admission spot, but that's outrageous. The rules don't say you can slack off like that."

"He and that Tang Xin haven't been seen much for the past two months, who knows what they've been up to..."

"It's better for the parasites of the Soul Control Bureau not to take up positions."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was jarring enough that Tang Xin felt very uncomfortable listening to it, yet she dared not utter a word in protest.

Li Guanqi didn't react much; he had expected that look, or rather, he was already used to it.

Yan Lang's gaze swept across Li Guanqi's calm face, then turned to the crowd, his voice loud and suggestive: "Everyone must be responsible for their own choices!"

"If you fail, remember this humiliation well!"

"Only by knowing shame can one become courageous!"

His subsequent words were all admonitions directed at the sixty-four students who had their admissions extended; every word was like a whip, lashing at the faces of those who were eliminated.

On the other side of the platform, Qi Mengsi crossed her arms and tapped her fingers rapidly on her arms, revealing her inner anxiety.

She knew that the five people had submitted the task, but the task had indeed been submitted and the R&D department was indeed verifying it overnight. This was no small matter, and she didn't know what the situation was.

She was in a great hurry.

Yu Wanyin and Tang Xin, both shy and unable to bear the stares of those around them, shrank back behind the three men in unison.

"Next, we will announce the list of those who have completed the points-earning tasks!"

As Yan Lang finished speaking, the crowd below the stage began to stir, ready to cheer.

Everyone present already knew their scores; all they were waiting for was a public ranking and final confirmation.

Yan Lang was about to press the button to switch the list.

Suddenly, a soft "ding" sound rang out in the void.

On the elimination list, the last five names had their point numbers flash briefly before turning into three bright red characters—

[Updating...]

The crowd paused for a moment, then let out a few dismissive chuckles.

"It's only being updated now? The tasks I did yesterday haven't been verified yet?"

"What kind of task can take an entire night to complete?"

"What's the difference? Even if it's a C-level mission, you'll only get a dozen or so points at most, and you still won't pass."

"Exactly, does that mean a single task can add over two hundred points to their score?"

"You know, some A-level missions do seem to add two or three hundred points, but... with just a few of them, there's no way they can complete an A-level mission."

Amid the crowd's discussion, some shook their heads, some expressed disdain, and some remained indifferent.

Yan Lang glanced at Li Guanqi with surprise, feeling quite puzzled.

The fact that the points are only updated at this time means that the level of this task is not low. Could it be that these little bastards actually completed an A-level task?
Normally, A-level missions are taken on by team leaders like them, who know best how difficult they are.

However, even for a team-level A task, when divided among the different tasks, they wouldn't get 200 points, which would still be considered unqualified.

Yan Lang withdrew his gaze, no longer waiting for updates. He pressed the controller on his hand, and with a ding, the light screen flashed, displaying one hundred and four names. The audience immediately erupted in commotion.

Of the 168 trainees in this cohort, 104 graduated this year, which is acceptable.

The subsequent graduation activities are just a formality, similar to a university graduation defense; as long as you don't slack off too much, you can pass.

Rankings and points have been updated.

At the very top of the list, a name gleamed brightly, standing out from the crowd.

[First Place: Qin Feng of Shengwangzhai - 802]

[Second Place: Daihiwa Uesugi Genichi - 788]

[Third Place: Biluo Mountain · Lin Yue - 780]

……

"802 points! My God!"

"Brother Feng is awesome!"

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted, all eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration, focusing on a robust young man at the front of the line.

"Brother Feng! How did you do that? Share some tips!"

"800 points, you completed a B-level mission?"

Several people surrounded Qin Feng, encircling him in the center, creating a scene resembling a fan meeting.

Qin Feng enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention. He cleared his throat and waved his hand, feigning distress.

"Just luck."

He sighed, his tone full of the vicissitudes of life: "I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two months. I spent three days and three nights trying to snatch a B-level escort mission, only to be outmaneuvered by a senior student. I had to do a C-level mission and only earned a few points. It was exhausting."

His words sounded exactly like those of a top student who was frustrated by only getting 140 points on a math test. It made the people around him feel a pang of envy, but they couldn't help but admire him.

The 800-point performance bonus includes benefits for interns, but most full-time agents only achieve 600-700 points in two months. For an intern to get over 800 points certainly gives him reason to be proud.

"So good at pretending, I want to pretend too..." Yu Wanyin muttered softly from behind, pouting.

Tang Xin didn't say anything, but just watched the commotion over there, and then looked at her bracelet, which still showed the task status as "updating". She felt uneasy.

On the high platform, Yan Lang watched the commotion below but did not stop it.

Having role models is a good thing.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on Qin Feng, the words "Updating" on the scoreboard for the last five players suddenly flashed.

"Hmm?" Yan Lang frowned.

Before anyone could react.

next second.

The words "Updating..." on the screen froze instantly, and a series of brand-new numbers crashed onto everyone's retinas in a shocking way!
[First Place: Bian Yuelong & Li Guanqi - 18014]

[Second Place: Jiwang Township, Yuwancha - 7845]

[Third Place: Jiwangxiang · Yu Wanyin - 7816]

[Fourth Place: Bian Yuelong Xiasheng - 7784]

[Fifth Place: Bian Yuelong & Tang Xin - 7755]

[Sixth Place: Qin Feng of Shengwangzhai - 802]

Dead silence.

A deathly silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Feng, who was still basking in the glory of scoring 800 points a second ago, froze with a smile, like a poorly made sculpture that had been cracked by the low temperature.

His admirers around him all fell silent, heads tilted back, mouths agape, staring blankly at the screen.

"Eighteen thousand."

Someone, with a dreamlike voice, broke the stillness of the air.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

"A five-figure score?!"

"It's definitely broken! 18,000 points? Did he save the bureau chief?!"

"What kind of task gives so many points, and how did they complete it?"

"Let's go, let's go ask!"

The one who finds it hardest to accept is Qin Feng, who was originally in first place and is now completely baffled.

Only those who have worked hard know what it means to score 1,000 points in two months.

He may have been boasting and faking it, but getting 800 points in two months was truly hard work.

What is 18,000?!

Everyone, including the instructors, slowly turned their heads and stared at Li Guanqi with eyes that looked at a monster, as if to say, "You better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Li Guanqi paused for a moment, then said in realization, "Oh, the captain got extra points."

In the few seconds that everyone was trembling with shock, he was thinking about how it wasn't split evenly.

It turns out the team leader took a little more.

Xia Sheng should have been the team leader, but he was not affected by the Spirit Binding Division's effects, so the system wouldn't let him be the team leader; to be precise, he wasn't eligible for any leadership position.

Yu Wancha, Yu Wanyin, and Tang Xin stared in disbelief at their scores of over seven thousand.

Of course, I wasn't fretting about how I didn't get enough points; seven thousand points is more than enough.

They were stunned because, at that moment, they fully understood a principle.

sometimes--

Choice is more important than effort.

As for whether the last month was tiring, in terms of workload, it was only moderately tiring, nothing compared to someone like Qin Feng who was doing normal workload.

They scored 7,000 points simply because they made the right choice.

The crowd surged forward like an anthill bursting open, unable to contain themselves any longer, and rushed towards the five figures in the last row like a tidal wave.

"Bro! What happened?!"

"Can you give me a walkthrough? What quest gives so many points?"

"Brother, no, God! Chess God!"

"Hey, you disappeared for two months and then came up with something this big?"

More than a hundred people surrounded the five people, layer upon layer, their faces filled with fanaticism, jealousy, incomprehension and a hint of pleading.

Li Guanqi, Xia Sheng, and Yu Wancha instinctively stepped in front to protect the two girls.

Tang Xin took a deep breath, trying hard to recall the scene she had rehearsed. Her face tightened, and she slowly straightened her chest, speaking very seriously, very solemnly, and very pretentiously.

"Due to mission requirements." She paused, her eyes revealing a mysterious quality.

"Secret."

Cool! So cool! Tang Xin shouted to herself in her heart.

Seeing this, Yu Wanyin followed suit, putting on a stern face: "Due to mission reasons, it must be kept secret."

This pretentious air of profundity, instead of deterring the crowd, only fueled their curiosity even more.

"Oh, just a little bit, just a tiny bit!"

"Is it an SS-rank mission? Only SS-rank missions give this many points, right?"

Qin Feng, who was squeezed on the outside, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard the words "SS-level".

impossible!

Five interns? An SS-level mission? What a ridiculous joke!

Ignoring the noise around him, Li Guanqi looked up and calmly gazed at the instructors on the platform.

Yan Lang's heart was already in turmoil.

The moment the score popped up, he thought of one possibility—an SS-level mission!
Based on this score, Li Guanqi, as the team leader, would take the lion's share of 18,000 points, while the others would each take 7,500 points, for a total of 50,000 points. This would definitely be an SS-level mission!
These little brats have really stirred up trouble!
Ever since he learned that Li Guanqi had a secret service identity, he guessed that Li Guanqi's leave was because he was planning something big.

But this is way too big!

"Silence!" Yan Lang forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and his angry shout was like a thunderclap, the sound waves sweeping across the entire area, "All of you, return to your ranks! What kind of behavior is this!"

The instructor's authority remained, and the enthusiastic crowd reluctantly retreated, but their burning gazes were still fixed on Li Guanqi and his group of five.

On the other side of the platform, Qi Mengsi's tense body finally relaxed, she let out a long breath, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Thanks to these five people, the Twin Flowers have finally gained some prestige within the Dark Division.

The atmosphere calmed down slightly, and Yan Lang opened his mouth, about to say something.

A grand and solemn electronic announcement suddenly rang out from the cruise ship high in the sky, resounding throughout the entire Youlan Islands.

This message wasn't just for those in the training grounds; it was simultaneously sent to all registered members of the Spirit Control Division.

The leaderboard on the screen disappeared instantly, replaced by a gold-embossed commendation order.

【notice】

Interns Li Guanqi, Tang Xin, Yu Wancha, and Yu Wanyin have made outstanding contributions to humanity.

[By resolution, the four individuals are awarded the Second Class Merit Citation]

"???"

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence once again.

If the 18,000 points just now were shocking, then this is utter bewilderment.

"A Second-Class Merit Award?!"

"Make outstanding contributions to humanity?!"

I heard you clearly.

It was not for the Five Ministries, nor for the Bureau of Spirit Control or any other force.

It is for humanity!

Make outstanding contributions to humanity.

These nine words are not to be said casually.

It's going to be in textbooks!

If the coach hadn't been on stage, they would have pounced on him and stripped Li Guanqi and the others naked.

Even Li Guanqi was shocked by this announcement.

He was somewhat flattered by the words that he had made outstanding contributions to humanity.

"Brother—" Yu Wanyin stared blankly at the words on the notice and whispered, "We."

"For humanity."

"Make outstanding contributions."

Yu Wancha was also stunned and unable to respond for a moment.

Not long ago, the two siblings were among the darkest of the group, burning, killing, and looting, living a life of constant danger and fighting against all sorts of sea monsters.

They had considered retiring from their criminal activities, joining the Bureau of Spirit Control to clean up their act, and living a peaceful life.

But they never dared to dream of the word "merit".

Yu Wanyin couldn't help but scan the announcement back and forth, trying to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Suddenly, she noticed something and abruptly turned to look at Xia Sheng.

"Why not—" she began, but then stopped abruptly.

If my identity isn't recognized, can I only earn points and not merits?

Xia Sheng himself didn't seem to care much, and just smiled faintly.

Li Guanqi turned his gaze away from Xia Sheng, nudged Tang Xin who was lost in thought with his elbow, and teased her: "The god who controls time and space."

"Wasn't it supposed to be a first-class merit? How come it's a second-class merit?"

"Ah, ah?" Tang Xin came back to her senses, her mind blank. She scratched her head, blushed, and whispered, "I remembered it wrong."

"This is unbelievable," Yan Lang thought to himself as he looked at the group.

He served as a team leader for over a decade, working tirelessly, but only ever received two third-class merit awards.

As a result, four interns received second-class merit awards in just three months?
Qi Mengsi nodded calmly, feigning composure and profoundness.

In reality, on the other side, there was a group of nine people who were being purged.

Rose: "@SixteenWitches@SixteenWitches@SixteenWitches, how did you know that one of my informants received a second-class merit award?"

"Second-class merit, second-class merit."

"Oh dear, this is outrageous. How can an informant be awarded a second-class merit?"

"This makes some of the purgers lose face."

rabbit:"."

Mermaid: "I packed it up for her."

Swordsman: "The peaks rise to the sky, barely an inch away; withered pines hang upside down, leaning against the precipice."

Shadow Mist Girl: "A miracle!"

Mahjong: "The hunting mission for the beasts of the abyss needs to be expanded."

"But I will never see that director again."

"quiet!"

Yan Lang roared, and the sound waves pressed down on the boiling crowd as if they were tangible.

The training ground, which was chaotic just a moment ago, fell silent instantly, with everyone lowering their heads.

His cold gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on Li Guanqi and his group of five. His expression was complex, but his voice remained steady:

“Those who have obtained the qualification for the graduation operation will be entered into the permanent file of the Department of Spirit Control starting today.”

"From now on, every new recruit will have their names in the archives."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

This is no longer a matter of high or low scores; this is going to be used as a living example.

"Now, let's announce the graduation plan." Yan Lang didn't give everyone much time to process it before the screen switched again.

Two completely different task sheets appeared on the screen, one blue and one red, clearly distinguishable.

"Blue Team trainees, graduation mission: [Deep Sea Exploration], assist the R&D department in recovering samples from the Atlantis ruins."

"Wow, that sounds so cool." Tang Xin's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again. "It's a pity I can't swim."

Yu Wanyin raised an eyebrow: "Brother, our majors match."

On the other side, the red mission sheet contained only a single, brief line of text.

Head to Latia and clear out the fortress of the caravan gangs and cults.

"Latia? Isn't this a ruin?"

"Crack down on illegal taxi gangs and cults? Is that considered a graduation mission? That's way too easy."

"I've disliked these people for a long time!"

A relaxed murmur arose from the crowd, and many people breathed a sigh of relief, their solemn expressions turning into expressions of relief.

Even Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief; in his view, this was practically a free graduation certificate.

However, amidst the jubilant atmosphere, Li Guanqi frowned.

Latia...

He felt like he'd heard the name somewhere before, but there was an inexplicable sense of unease about it.

Xia Sheng, who was standing beside him, narrowed his eyes slightly at this moment, a hint of cold light flashing in them.

……

Meanwhile, in the Unbounded Realm, at the Rebirth Shop.

The girl in black robes was processing the Pope's intelligence when suddenly a pop-up window appeared—the graduation mission assignment sheet for the Youlan Islands.

Her gaze swept casually across the keyboard, but when she saw the words "Latia," her fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, suddenly stopped.

"Meow?" Tony noticed the girl's unusual behavior and looked up in confusion.

A rare emotion, miscalculation, appeared in the girl's deep blue eyes.

Her pupils constricted slightly as a message was sent to the Purifiers group.

Blank: "Who issued the graduation task for the new students of the Fifth Department?"

Rabbit: "Qian Liang is currently in charge, and the task assignments are mainly managed by the Yin Bureau."

Rose: "The timing is indeed a bit coincidental."

Rabbit: "Should we modify the task?"

The final decision rests with them.

Blank: "No need, Hua, go and follow up on that."

Rose: "OK."

Shadow Mist Lady: "Miss Rose, are you coming over? It's been so long!"
