Chapter 146: Special Regulation

Last time, the Iron Helmet Flea King's round plate armor could only be considered close to a mid-level god; strictly speaking, it couldn't be classified as one.

The most common standard for mid-level gods is that their round plate armor contains four triangular patterns.

In other words, at least a certain number of accumulated points.

The Iron Helmet Flea King's round plate armor was worth one thousand eight hundred and fifty points, so calling it a mid-level god wasn't entirely wrong.

However, a true mid-level god's round plate armor, let alone at the exit of Safe Zone No. 38324, had never been seen in the entire City No. 141.

Everyone stared at Qin Siyang in shock.

If hunting Long-Legged Worms and Iron Helmet Fleas could be attributed to some luck, then killing a mid-level god was unquestionably a matter of pure strength.

Because of this one piece of round plate armor, Qin Siyang had completely distinguished himself from the bottom-tier god hunters at the edge of the safe zone.

He stood out like a crane among chickens.

The inspector holding the round plate armor stammered, "Th-this… this was also hunted by you alone?"

Qin Siyang drooped the corners of his mouth and shook his head, full of regret, "No, I teamed up with him to kill it. But those Lizard Fish were all mine."

"Oh, alright. I'll first calculate your Lizard Fish points."

Qin Siyang took a look, there weren't too many Lizard Fish in the Ghost Faced Heron's stomach, totaling less than a thousand.

However, with each one worth five points, it was still a considerable amount of reward points.

"Seven hundred and three Lizard Fish round plate armors, totaling three thousand five hundred and fifteen points. Since you hunted them as a solo party, your points double, making it seven thousand thirty points."

Qin Siyang nodded.

"Next, I need to conduct a lie detection and memory continuity test on you."

"Go ahead."

After passing the test, the inspector posted a reward report on the [Godslayer Camp] forum and recorded Qin Siyang's points.

"Next is the Ghost Faced Heron."

As he spoke, the inspector took out a flashlight-shaped device specifically designed to verify round plate armor points.

In the past few years, he had only used this device once, because it was rare to encounter a round plate armor with so many points that it couldn't be counted by eye.

He thought he wouldn't get another chance to use it before his transfer.

But unexpectedly, within just one week, he had already used it twice.

Qin Siyang was truly a god-hunting prodigy.

The flashlight-shaped device shone on the armor, displaying the number "420."

"These 420 god-hunting points. How do you two want to distribute them?"

Qin Siyang glanced at Li Tianming, who seemed completely uninterested in these points.

"Put them all under my name."

"Alright. And how do you want the rewards distributed?"

"Split them evenly."

"Got it. I've recorded all of this in the Bureau's system. The amount of rewards you've earned is too large for me to provide here, so you'll need to go to the Bureau to claim them."

"Mm, I understand."

Every time Qin Siyang finished hunting gods, he had to go to the Bureau to claim his rewards, it had already become a habit.

As Qin Siyang was organizing his blood-soaked backpack, the inspector, noticing his slight displeasure, tentatively asked, "Mr. Qin, is there something upsetting you about the point verification process?"

Qin Siyang glanced at him, still holding some resentment from the inspector's rudeness during his first verification.

Maybe because the inspector's attitude today was so humble, almost as if he was licking his boots. Qin Siyang, against his better judgment, spoke a little more.

"Not really. Just a bit disappointed that I didn't hunt the Ghost Faced Heron solo," Qin Siyang gave a perfunctory response and picked up his backpack to leave.

The inspector immediately asked, "Mr. Qin, is it because you're part of the special recruitment program, and non-solo god-hunting points don't count toward it?"

Qin Siyang frowned, "How do you know about that?"

"Mr. Qin, news of your special recruitment has already spread through the Bureau. There's even a betting pool on which ranking university you'll get into."

Hearing this, Qin Siyang laughed, he hadn't expected Bureau employees to have this kind of leisure activity.

"Yeah, that's exactly it. It's frustrating to earn god-hunting points but not be able to use them, it feels like a waste of time and effort."

"If that's what you're worried about, then you don't have to be!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"I noticed that Mr. Li Tianming's sequence is [Shaman], correct?"

"That's right."

"The United Government's education department has a specific regulation for special recruits: If two people team up to hunt a mid-level or higher god, and the non-special recruit is from a purely support-type sequence, the special recruit's points can still be counted."

"Mr. Li Tianming's [Shaman] sequence is one of the few support sequences that qualify. So the 420 god-hunting points you just earned from hunting the Ghost Faced Heron can still be counted for your special recruitment."

"In other words, all of your current 3,935 points will be valid for special recruitment."

Qin Siyang's eyebrows shot up in surprise, "There's a rule like that?"

"Yes. Since support-sequence ability users don't have direct means to hunt gods, they still rely on offensive-sequence users to deliver the final blow."

"To encourage students to challenge stronger gods and identify top talents, the education department specifically introduced this regulation."

"Not only that, but your record of hunting a mid-level god will also be logged in your profile. Universities will see this during special recruitment. I've heard that students with experience in hunting mid-level gods are more likely to be favored by top universities."

Qin Siyang's smile grew wider and wider, until his eyes nearly turned into crescent moons.

"That's freaking amazing! Thanks, man!"

"No problem, it's my job."

Li Tianming, however, looked puzzled, "When did this regulation come into effect? I've never heard of it."

"Mr. Li, this special recruitment rule was implemented last year. This is its second year in use."

Qin Siyang patted Li Tianming's chest, "Old Li, looks like your intel is outdated."

"Look at you, acting all smug!"

"Hey, for once, you're absolutely right. I am feeling pretty darn smug!"

Looking at the inspector's respectful demeanor, Qin Siyang's previous dissatisfaction completely vanished.

"Alright, you just made my day. Give me your electronic payment account. I'll tip you for the great service."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Siyang transferred him a thousand copper coins, then left with Li Tianming.

Opening his phone, Qin Siyang logged into the forum to check his stats.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[god-Hunting Points: 3,935]

[god-Hunting Points Ranking: 147,213]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Gaining over a thousand points had pushed him up more than 30,000 ranks.

This result… was decent, at best.

Qin Siyang couldn't help but sigh, "Over 150,000 people have more than 3,000 points. That's insane. Old Li, do you know why?"
