Chapter 68 Antique Mission
Lin Ye's expression changed slightly. "Yes."
Lei Long nodded helplessly, "I knew it. How could those guys from the Nuo Snake Cult easily provoke our Crimson Whale Sect?"
"However, I still advise you not to get involved any further."
"When Yan Yi joined the boxing gym, it was probably at her father's behest, in order to gain the protection of the Red Whale Sect."
"But reality is reality. The sect will not clashed with the Nuoshe Cult for a student who is not even a formal disciple."
"Even if I wanted to act privately, the headquarters wouldn't allow it."
At this point, he patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.
"Your future is bright, so take care of yourself."
After he left, Lin Ye stood in the alley, and people would occasionally peek out from the alley entrance to look at him.
After a moment of silence, he turned and left.

A few days later, on the 28th floor of the Red Whale Security Group, in training room number 007.
"Thump~ thump~ thump~"
The reverberation of the bronze bell echoed endlessly in the training room. Lin Ye, in a fit of rage, punched the bronze bell again and again.
About half an hour later, Lin Ye's back was covered in sweat.
After a while, he stopped what he was doing, walked to the table next to him, picked up the specially made fried meat pieces, and ate them in big bites.
He swallowed the last bite, closed his eyes slightly, and a starry sky seemed to appear in his dark vision.
Only a handful of stars emitted a faint light, while the rest remained silent.
After several days of hard work, I opened up less than ten meridians.
At this rate, it would take at least ten months to a year to complete the opening of the apertures and reach the fourth level.
I opened my eyes, and a fleeting crimson light flashed and disappeared.
The malevolent energy within his senses intensified as his meridians opened, even influencing his personality to some extent.
I clenched my fist slightly, and a faint vibration emanated from my palm, causing the hairs on the back of my hand to stand on end.
After resting for a while, he walked to the punching power tester next to him and punched it hard.
531kg.
The improvement is negligible. Based on this ratio, the improvement he would receive after completely opening his acupoints would be only about thirty kilograms.
He withdrew his fist and relaxed his body slightly.
This improvement actually indicates that his physical aptitude is inferior to Lei Long's, and even inferior to Yan Yi or Wei Qian's.
It was only the enhancements brought by potential points, ingredients, and magic potions that shaped his image as a super genius.
However, it doesn't matter if your aptitude is a little lacking. At worst, you can just take the Whale Heart Bone Refining Pill and say it's an improvement brought about by opening the acupoints.
In this way, it doesn't seem abrupt to improve the four-dimensional attributes through food during the soft vibration tempering process.
......
"Knock knock".
A knock sounded on the door, and Lin Ye stopped his punching motion, took out the remote control, and pressed the open button.
The training room door opened, and a young woman walked in, dressed in a suit and uniform, holding a tablet computer in her hand.
Her name is Su Zhenzhen, the general manager of the first-floor customer service department, a martial artist at the third level of boxing, currently practicing Zhen.
He was also Lei Long's most outstanding student.
Of course, according to Lei Long, Su Zhenzhen was self-taught; he was just using the title of instructor.
"Manager Su, is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Ye asked.
He was hired by Lei Long, and within the security group, he naturally belonged to Lei Long's branch faction, making him a natural ally of Su Zhenzhen.
"Consultant Lin, according to regulations, you are required to complete one task for the group each month."
"But there's no rush. The main concern is that the other two branch factions might use this as an excuse to cause trouble."
Su Zhenzhen explained that the tasks within the group are limited, so the corresponding contribution level is also finite.
For those like them who are determined to fight for the Secret Military, contribution points are their lifeline, something they must fight for to obtain.
Lin Ye is still too young. If she doesn't give him some pointers, he will really think that the path of martial arts is just about hard work.
Lin Ye wiped his sweat and walked over. "This is troublesome. What's the mission now?"
Su Zhenzhen handed over the tablet, "You can choose one yourself."
"Combat advisors have a mandatory mission every month, which they can choose freely without considering the mission requirements."
"I recommend choosing the one with the highest contribution, because no one can compete with you for mandatory tasks."
"Whatever you choose, it's yours."
This can be considered a favor from the group. As long as you can persevere, even if you can't compete with others, you still have a chance to continue.
Lin Ye nodded and looked through the task list. He could only unlock the tasks corresponding to the third level; he couldn't view the tasks at higher levels yet.
A quick glance revealed that most of the tasks were similar to mercenary jobs, with contribution points ranging from 3 to 5 and rewards ranging from 5,000 to 10,000.
One Whale Blood Pill requires 20 contribution points.
In other words, it requires contributions from four to six tasks, and the timeframe is approximately one to two months.
As Lin Ye swiped the tablet, his fingertips suddenly stopped, and his gaze fell on a task.
"Escorting antiques to Iron Piano City?"
"The contribution score is 3, which is quite high."
Nodding, it was a good opportunity to meet with his sister. Escorting the antiques wasn't complicated either, much simpler than hiring mercenaries.
"This one will do," he said.
Su Zhenzhen looked at the tablet, her brows furrowing slightly.
"this?"
Why would you choose this kind of task?
She usually saves simple tasks like this for last to make up the numbers.
"Why don't you consider this?"
She raised her hand and swiped the screen, her fingertip landing on a task in bold text.
The mission requires 7 contribution points. The objective is to retrieve a box from the border region. The enemies you need to deal with are just some ordinary mercenaries.
Lei Long had told her that Lin Ye was very strong in combat and that this mission was the most suitable for him. She had gone to great lengths to obtain it.
The original plan was to let Lin Ye practice his skills, but unexpectedly, this guy chose an antique escort mission instead of the other one.
Lin Ye glanced at the task and understood what Su Zhenzhen meant.
"I appreciate your kind gesture, but my sister happens to be with Tieqin, so I'll go visit her."
He might consider it if it were 20 contribution points, but 7 points is still a bit too few.
A trip to the border would take at least a week. If he had that time, he could go for a walk in the wild mountains outside the city and maybe find some ingredients.
Whale Blood Pills are a treasure to Su Zhenzhen, but to him they are just like two or three ordinary ingredients, not worth the trouble.
Su Zhenzhen shrugged. "Fine, if you don't want to, I'll do it myself."
Young man, you'll know how difficult this task is later.
After she left, Lin Ye continued practicing his boxing until it was almost evening before he stopped.
After rinsing, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance.
The continuous mountain range appeared somewhat dark due to the gloomy sky, resembling a giant dragon lying on the earth.
"Too slow."
Improving strength by relying on opening the acupoints and practicing the shock is too slow, but there is no shortcut to this.
Looking at the black dragon in front of him, Lin Ye's gaze was calm, but a murderous aura flowed in his eyes.
The cult, the Dark Spider Mother, and that mysterious church that had always weighed on his mind... his progress was far from enough.
"I'm still too weak," he muttered to himself.
"monument."
[Agility: 0.70]
【Soul Whale Fist "Third Layer" (66/300)】
【"Spirit Line Fist" Level 2 (89/100)】
With only one potential point left, investing it in "Soul Whale Fist" wouldn't yield much benefit.
However, the progress of "Spirit Line Fist" is very fast, and the agility attribute also increased by 0.01.
After some thought, he finally decided to add his last potential point to "Spirit Line Fist".
Although the Soul Whale Fist is much stronger than the Spirit Thread Fist, once the Spirit Thread Fist is upgraded to the third level, it may greatly increase his agility attribute, thereby improving his physical coordination.
On the one hand, it will increase his combat ability; on the other hand, improved physical coordination may increase his speed of opening the acupoints.
"Monument, give me some points!"
[Spirit Thread Fist "Level 2" (89/100)] → [Spirit Thread Fist "Level 3" (89/200)]
[Agility: 0.70] → [Agility: 0.72]
[Intelligence: 0.60] → [Intelligence: 0.61]
A familiar feeling of fullness welled up from deep within my body. Although it wasn't as intense as the feeling of fullness I had experienced with the Soul Whale Fist, it was still very clear.
His body once again unleashed its potential.
A moment later, Lin Ye stretched his body and casually threw a punch.
The fist silently sliced through the air, leaving only a slight whooshing sound.
Without stopping, they went straight to the bronze bell and began practicing its vibration.
About an hour later, Lin Ye stopped what he was doing, a look of joy on his face.
After improving his physical coordination, Lian Zhen's speed did indeed increase.
Moreover, he could feel that his body had become much lighter, and his combat ability had definitely improved a lot.
It's worth it.
After resting for a while, he looked out the window at the continuous mountain range, which had become completely dark.
"Next, all that's left is to revisit the past shrouded in darkness."
If he can obtain those four potential points, his strength will experience a leap forward!
It's even possible to skip directly from the fourth level and reach the fifth level!
Once you pass the core disciple assessment, you'll have the opportunity to access secret martial arts! Power that transcends human limits!
After calming his thoughts, he looked at the clock on the wall.
It's already past ten o'clock.
Without lingering, he left the training room directly.
Stepping out of the company's gate, the night breeze was blowing, still a bit damp, but no longer hot.
Strolling through the streets, Lin Ye felt relaxed and at ease. The road ahead was right in front of him; all he had to do was keep moving forward.
"tread."
Footsteps suddenly came from ahead. Lin Ye looked over and saw a figure gliding over like a ghost.
The next moment, my shoulder trembled as something touched me.
Immediately afterwards, a tingling sensation spread throughout my body, and I lost control of my body and fell forward.
Lin Ye's pupils slowly contracted.
"shock......"
