The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Back in the dormitory, Lu Yan quickly made room for the three small plants.

This energy-concentrating flowerpot has its own micro-energy cycle, which can maintain the plant's basic energy needs even if he neglects to care for it on a daily basis.

However, if you want to cultivate it better, you need to continuously feed it nutrient solution or higher-end materials.

After changing the flowerpot, Lu Yan could clearly feel the joy conveyed by the three small plants, and the forest ranger also praised him highly.

Lu Yan nodded slightly and poured a bottle of nutrient solution into each of the three small plants.

Suddenly, the three small plants trembled together, greedily absorbing the energy contained in the nutrient solution, and their leaves became brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I did make things a little difficult for you guys before."

Lu Yan released his spiritual energy and gently communicated with the three small plants.

He knew in his heart that if it weren't for the sunflower's sunlight power restraining the shadow magic in the previous two battles against the cultists, he might not have been able to escape unscathed. These three little plants had long been an indispensable help to him.

"I just don't know if there are any cult followers hiding in the shelter."

He seemed to be deep in thought. After the three small plants had completely stabilized, he took out the three extraordinary seeds he had just exchanged and buried them in the empty potting soil next to him.

With everything taken care of, Lu Yan finally had a moment to spare. He eagerly opened a bottle of calming potion and drank it all.

The next second, a cool sensation swept over his entire body, rushing straight to the top of his head, completely calming his restless mind and even dissipating most of the fatigue accumulated from cultivation.

Sure enough, even the medicine was more comfortable on the mental side than on the physical side.

Lu Yan silently complained, then activated the Starry Night Meditation Technique and began a new day of cultivation.

……

"Knock knock knock".

A knock on the door woke Lu Yan from his cultivation.

He slowly opened his eyes, and with a thought, the panel suddenly appeared.

[Teachers: 100%]

[Martial Arts Master: 12%]

Forest rangers: 72%

[Detective: 55%]

[Starry Night Meditation (Mastery): 61%]

Although I haven't been deliberately practicing, after so many days, my progress in the teacher training program has been completed.

On the contrary, the promotion requirements are still a little lacking.

The first promotion condition was already met when the detective sequence was obtained.

As for condition three, he originally planned to obtain the [Listener] from the adjudication department, but he did not expect that the forest ranger would complete it ahead of time.

"We're still missing a Black Iron level meditation technique."

Lu Yan pinched his cheek and brow, not dwelling on it too much, and got up to open the door.

The two people inside and outside the house were stunned the moment the door opened.

"Is it you?"

Cao Meng looked at Lu Yan in surprise, clearly not expecting that the newcomer would be Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was also surprised, never expecting that the "young master" they were talking about would be himself.

"Ahem! Sorry, I lost my composure."

Fortunately, Cao Meng was the first to react, extending her hand and introducing herself: "I am Cao Meng, the captain of the seventh squad. I'm here today to inform you that you will be joining us on a mission tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

Lu Yan frowned slightly. He clearly remembered that Yao Qing had told him yesterday that it would be seven days later, so why was it brought forward?

"Originally, there were still a few days left, but a team was temporarily assigned a mission, so our team took over first."

Cao Meng looked apologetic and said, "Although it's a bit sudden, you really didn't have much time to prepare."

"fine."

Lu Yan shook his head slightly, not paying any attention.

The scheduled time has been changed again, clearly indicating that the person behind the scenes is getting impatient.

But if it really is Chen Ye, isn't it a bit too obvious?

He wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that these spoiled brats were really that brainless.

Perhaps there are other reasons behind this.

"I'm glad you don't mind."

Seeing that Lu Yan was being reasonable, Cao Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that a spoiled brat who feared nothing would come along and anger Han Xiaoxiao and Yu Qi, making the mission much more difficult.

"Let's go. We're going on a mission tomorrow. You'd better get to know your teammates today so it'll be easier to coordinate."

"You're both young people, you'll definitely get along well."

……

The seventh squad has a separate rest area located on the 7th underground level.

When the two arrived, Han Xiaoxiao and the other two had already been waiting for a while.

Han Xiaoxiao leaned back in her chair casually, Yu Qi fiddled with his dagger, and Yu Zheng looked down at a thick book.

"You're that young master who was transferred in from above... Oh, what are you doing here, you glutton!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Han Xiaoxiao was about to make a move, but she was startled when she saw Lu Yan's appearance.

"Xiaoxiao, watch your words."

Cao Meng glared at Han Xiaoxiao with displeasure, and said seriously, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Cao Meng, captain of the Seventh Brigade, Sequence 8: Father."

Yu Zheng, who was sitting obediently, put down his book and said, "Yu Zheng, Sequence 8: Fire Mage".

"Han Xiaoxiao, Sequence 8 - Boxer, what sequence are you, bro?"

Han Xiaoxiao curiously circled around Lu Yan, only to be bumped aside by Yu Qi.

"Yu Qi, Sequence 8, Dual Swordsman, young man, interested in a fight?"

Yu Qi's eyes were burning with desire, his face full of eagerness, but he was kicked by Han Xiaoxiao and stumbled.

"Lu Yan, Sequence 8: Martial Artist".

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Lu Yan silently took a step back.

"You're also Sequence 8?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Yan's words.

In the past, the most that were crammed in were Sequence 9, and sometimes even unawakened ones, just to get through the cleanup missions and get some free merit points.

Unexpectedly, this time it was a Sequence 8 that was crammed in.

"This can't be just a pretty face, can it?"

Han Xiaoxiao muttered something under her breath, while Yu Qi pouted beside her.

"Who cares? We'll know once we're out of the city."

"Yeah, just don't die out there."

"What's there to be afraid of? This isn't the first time."

The two chatted happily together, completely unaware of Cao Meng, who was about to explode.

That being said, what's the point of talking about crickets in front of others?

"They've lost their way, Lu Yan, don't mind them."

Cao Meng coughed twice and began explaining the task requirements.

"Our mission this time is to clear out areas 01 and 02 east of the shelter, and there seems to be a herd of black horn cattle there. We must confirm this as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Cao Meng looked at Lu Yan and said, "This is your first mission, so you don't need to push yourself too hard. Just follow behind us."

"it is good."

Lu Yan remained noncommittal, his expression still calm.

Anyway, it's just a formality, so he doesn't need to get too worked up.

"This mission should earn you a second-class merit. Everyone go back and get some rest today. We'll meet here again at this time tomorrow."

"Second-class merit?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and he became alert.

Through these days of intensive study, his basic understanding of shelters has been perfected.

The merit system, in particular, has been put into great effort.

You can earn a certain amount of merit points by completing the tasks issued by the shelter.

By consuming merit points, you can exchange them for the resources you want at the shelter.

A second-class merit is enough for him to exchange for a bronze-level cultivation technique!

Martial artists hope to hone their combat skills through battle and are eagerly anticipating this mission.

The detective keenly sensed something amiss and concluded that this mission was not simple...

Lu Yan was speechless upon seeing this. It was obvious that someone was plotting against him, and the mission was certainly not simple.

However, since the detective's case has been triggered, perhaps we can find some useful clues through him?
