In middle age, one's comprehension becomes extraordinary.

When participating in the Lanwu Trial, never judge the difficulty of the mission solely based on the mission level.

Once you leave the city and enter that desolate area, you must always be aware of the threat of ferocious beasts.

Even if you accept a C-level mission, you may still encounter ferocious beasts of B-level or higher.

Of course, A-class and S-class ferocious beasts are not common.

Beasts that can reach this level are as rare as top-tier martial artists among humans.

The most difficult part of the quest to kill the sea ape is finding its trail.

In the process of searching, one may even encounter danger.

Aquatic apes are very intelligent; many researchers believe they should have the intelligence of a seven-year-old child.

If the sea apes discover that they are being followed, they may even deliberately set traps to ambush them.

Adult sea apes, if well-developed, can even rival Class B ferocious beasts.

Even a sixth-rank beast would have a hard time against a B-level ferocious beast.

Given this level of danger, it's no wonder that there aren't many martial artists who can reliably execute C-level missions.

The qualification for the Lanwu Trial is not easy to obtain.

It is categorized by sector, with various parties in fields such as electricity, education, and transportation obtaining a small number of qualifications.

In many cities with small populations, the martial artists recommended for trials are generally of average ability.

Jin Fan couldn't get this trial opportunity mainly because he encountered Li Yuan.

If he were in another line of work, this problem wouldn't have occurred.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan had already begun to follow the trail he had found.

Relying on his understanding of the relevant traces, Li Yuan stopped half an hour later.

He took out a long sword and slashed fiercely at a pile of dead leaves.

One of the sea apes was killed instantly by this one blow.

After struggling for a moment, it stopped moving.

That beast hid there in ambush, thinking he was well concealed.

Indeed, even the [Flaw Insight] talent couldn't offer any guidance.

However, when Li Yuan read the task instructions, he discovered a more detailed method.

The guide says that sea monkeys have a foul odor, so you can use their scent to find them.

That's true, but sea monkeys also use methods to mask their scent.

For example, they will seek out plants with strong scents.

Hide among these plants to help them conceal themselves.

By combining this with the traces it left behind, it can naturally be found.

It was completely dark when Li Yuan dragged the sea ape's corpse back.

This C-level mission took less time than the E-level mission of "clearing dust and removing obstacles".

The problem was completely resolved in less than half a day.

To complete the quest, you need to hand over the sea ape's corpse. Once you hand over the corpse, the quest is considered complete.

In fact, the command also wanted some other benefits.

The parts on these ferocious beasts are all materials needed in industry.

If all you need to do is kill the ferocious beast, you can just take its head or arm.

There's no need for a whole corpse.

At midnight, Li Yuan dragged the sea ape's corpse back to Lanying City.

Store it in a freezer.

There are many of these cold storage facilities in Lanying City.

The hotel where Li Yuan stayed had its own cold storage facility.

I can hand in the task myself tomorrow morning.

Li Yuan felt that he could improve the difficulty level of the C-level mission.

Perhaps we could try a B-level mission.

Dealing with B-level tasks can be challenging, but the performance gains each time are significantly higher.

In addition, to exchange for top-tier martial arts techniques, you also need to complete specific tasks.

It is ostensibly a test of a martial artist's strength; only those with sufficient strength can use those martial arts techniques.

In reality, it's about setting limits for people.

Use certain methods to guide martial artists to complete tasks that no one else wants to take on.

Back at the hotel, Li Yuan had a relaxing night's rest.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yuan went to the freezer to retrieve the sea ape's carcass.

The hotel staff were very thoughtful; they even provided me with a trolley so I could easily push it over to hand in my tasks.

At the command post, the sight of the ferocious beast's corpse was no longer surprising.

The liaison officers' offices are large, with large windows on each side.

You can inspect the beast's carcass by placing it outside the office window.

Outside the window that Chen Moying was near, Li Yuan stopped pushing his cart.

When something passes by, the other people in the office unconsciously turn their eyes to it.

Through the white glass of the window, everyone saw the sea ape's corpse.

The stench seemed to seep in through the cracks and into the office.

Many of the liaison officers in the office had already stood up without realizing it.

Upon seeing the corpse clearly, Chen Moying rushed out of the office and walked to the sea ape's body.

She had worked here for over two years, so naturally she knew the sea monkeys.

The reason Chen Moying was so shocked was that this C-level mission had only been handed over to Li Yuan yesterday afternoon.

This is a C-level mission!

Don't think that C-level missions are easy. Even high-level martial artists usually need many days of practice to complete them.

Eighth-rank martial artists have tried before, but they were unlucky and it took them a week to complete a C-rank mission.

"Mr. Li Yuan, this is...?"

Chen Moying spoke haltingly, and it was unclear what was wrong with her.

He seemed to be too shocked.

As a result, their language organization skills have declined.

"Wasn't my mission to kill a sea ape?"

"I've handed the body over to you, and that's it, right?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li Yuan, please go and rest first. I'll push the beast's carcass into the freezer."

At this moment, Chen Moying regained her senses slightly.

She told Li Yuan to rest at his desk, and that she would take care of the hard work.

As Li Yuan walked into the office, the other liaison officers looked at him, their expressions changing.

In less than a day, the C-level mission was completed.

With such skills, Chen Moying has struck gold!

These liaison officers undergo basic performance evaluations every month.

This martial artist, whom Zhuang Meng disliked, was clearly very capable...

Sitting at Chen Moying's desk, the other liaison officers around her seemed to want to come up and talk to her.

Before they could even take any action, Chen Moying had already brought in a cup of coffee and a glass of lemonade.

"Mr. Li Yuan, I don't know what your preferences are, so I can only pour two glasses."

Chen Moying's face was full of smiles.

She had a vague feeling that she had stumbled upon an incredible stroke of luck.

This C-level mission is just the beginning of good luck.

"The mission was completed very well. It was an adult male sea ape, which is considered quite powerful among sea apes."

The task has been successfully completed, and 120 performance points have been credited.

Li Yuan nodded, not dwelling on the matter.

"So, what's next..."

Chen Moying looked at Li Yuan, waiting for him to speak about the next task.

"I want to try a B-level mission, but B-level ferocious beasts might not be easy for someone like me who is only a fifth-rank."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Chen Moying immediately turned the monitor around.

"Mr. Li Yuan, please take a look at this mission. This mission does not require you to kill a B-level ferocious beast, but it is challenging to complete."

However, there is definitely a risk of encountering a Class B ferocious beast.

Li Yuan glanced at it and accepted the B-level mission five minutes later.

After finishing these tasks, Li Yuan got up and left the office.

Chen Moying stretched, a smile on her face, and strolled a few steps toward Zhuang Meng's desk...
