Chapter 36 The Cult of Mechanism

Title: [Virtual Hunter]

(Hunting a bunch of data in a virtual world sounds like a silly story, but when data has intelligence, it becomes a formidable creature, and you are the virtual hunter.)

Progress: 79/100

Effects: Strength +3, Agility +3, Spirit +2

Like the [Morning Star Hunter] title, this is also an upgradeable title.

The extra attribute points are also very useful in the early game.

In particular, the extra two points of mental strength made An Ran's weak mental attributes look a bit better.

Anran then spent another 15000 experience points to upgrade her trainee mechanic to Lv8.

Added 2 points to Stamina and 1 point to Intelligence.

Thanks to the title bonus, Anran's base attributes have been significantly improved.

【HP】: 220/220

[Stamina]: 204/204

【六围】：力量15、敏捷18、耐力17、智力24、精神7、魅力7

[Free attribute points]: 3

Skill Points: 3

Upgrading to Trainee Mechanic Lv9 requires 20,000 experience points, and Anran is currently 15,000 short.

You'll save enough soon.

Once she reaches Lv10, she can use the Career Advancement Knowledge Book to advance to the Junior Mechanic level.

I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it.

……

The moment Anran opened her eyes and looked at the suddenly bright surroundings, she felt a little disoriented.

However, even though her eyes weren't used to it, her ears quickly helped her adjust.

Because she could clearly hear Zhou Jieyu shouting excitedly.

"We cleared it! We actually cleared the dungeon! 4500 experience points as a reward! Hahaha..."

very noisy!

An Ran frowned and forced her eyes wide open.

"I also have 3400 experience points." This was the voice of the leader charging forward. "So the points are linked to extra experience! One point is worth one hundred experience points, but unfortunately I only have one point."

Ok?

An Ran was surprised for a moment.

Didn't they receive the reward for completing the mission to eliminate all the Morning Star invaders?

The person who led the escape received 12 points, plus 3000 experience points as a mission reward, for a total of 4200 points.

Oh, and there's also the 300 experience points I gave them for the task I posted.

That's right, leading the charge also grants 3400 experience points.

An Ran quickly did the calculations.

In fact, because Zhou Jieyu died midway through the mission, she and the leader of the charge did not receive the final reward.

"Oh, Anran, you're awake?" Zhou Jieyu noticed Anran frowning and walked over in a few steps.

"Why are you frowning? Shouldn't we be happy that we passed the test?" Zhou Jieyu asked, puzzled.

An Ran's lips twitched slightly. She took off her headband, stood up, and said to Zhou Jieyu, "Whatever makes you happy."

"..."

Zhou Jieyu felt a little wronged, "Why did I get criticized again?"

At that moment, the NPC guiding the way walked in through the door.

With a warm smile, she said to the three people in the room, "First of all, congratulations on passing this assessment! Our deputy minister would like to meet with you at ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

coming.

An Ran's eyes shone with light.

The rewards from this dungeon run were outside of Anran's plan. Her main goal was to establish connections with the Security Department and Jiuge, and use their power to suppress Chenxing.

"Does that mean we can join Jiuge?" Zhou Jieyu asked.

"No." The female NPC guiding the conversation shook her head. "The specifics depend on the Vice Minister's decision."

“Hmm…” Zhou Jieyu’s tone suddenly turned somewhat disappointed.

She called out to the leader of the charge: "Brother, since everything's alright, let's go."

He stood up as the leader charged forward, then suddenly turned to An Ran and said, "Miss An Ran, aren't you coming with us?"

"Then let's go together."

There was no point in An Ran staying.

She got up and followed Zhou Jieyu out of the building.

During this time, the NPC guiding the girl kept her gaze fixed on An Ran's back.

Was it this girl who gave them the opportunity to pass the test?

After all, those two strangers only lasted less than 20 minutes not long ago.

After adding this girl, they stayed inside for a full hour this time.

The guiding NPC doesn't believe that the stranger, who couldn't even survive the first wave of invasion, could suddenly awaken and become super strong ten minutes later.

This is not logical.

Unless there is an X factor.

And Anran is that X.

……

It was already 7:30 p.m. when I walked out of No. 97 Qiuyang Road.

Anran stayed inside for more than an hour.

The flow of time inside the instance is different from that outside, with a ratio of approximately 6 to 1.

An Ran said goodbye to Zhou Jieyu and prepared to go to the R&D center to retrieve her backpack before heading back to Yudora's house for dinner.

She had only taken two steps when the leader of the charge called her back.

"that……"

"What's wrong?" An Ran turned around in confusion.

Leading the charge seemed to indicate he had made up his mind; his expression changed, and he suddenly pulled a wad of banknotes from his pocket.

"Give!"

He led the charge and handed over the money.

"Huh?!" An Ran stared blankly at the leader charging forward.

Zhou Jieyu, same as above.

What is this ghost?

Are you going to thank me with money for helping them through that dungeon?

Or is this an attempt to curry favor with me and trick me into going to work for a sex worker?

Emmm...

An Ran and Zhou Jieyu both fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, the leader of the charge spoke up again at this moment: "Actually, I want to learn about mechanics from you. I wonder if this tuition fee is enough?"

Having witnessed An Ran's strength, the leader of the charge concluded that the Mechanic was a powerful profession, and coincidentally, he only had two secondary professions at the moment.

So that's what it meant.

An Ran quickly put on the hat of a professional mentor.

Unlocking the Apprentice Mechanic profession requires 15 points of affinity.

An Ran counted the money handed over by the leader of the charge without any hesitation.

There were several large-denomination banknotes.

The total is 428 pesos.

The older brother is much more extravagant than his younger sister.

Even if I reluctantly accept you...

An Ran adjusted the favorability rating for leading the charge to exactly 15 points.

"Do you wish to unlock the [Apprentice Mechanic] profession?"

"Yes!"

He led the charge with a joyful expression.

"Unlocking the [Apprentice Mechanic] profession requires 150 pelu. Do you wish to pay?"

"Uh……"

The man who led the charge immediately looked distressed; after giving money to An Ran, he had only a few coins left.

Left with no other choice, he could only turn around and tell Zhou Jieyu the truth as the leader of the charge.
