Chapter 29: Come Again When You've Thought It Through
"Knock, knock."
"Come in."
Yu Hanbo, who was dressed in the Glow Combat Suit, was sitting on a leather chair. He crossed his fingers and rested his elbows on the desk. His tiger-like eyes shone with a cold light as he looked at the person who had come.
"Speak."
"Yu Haitao's body was not found. It's possible that he has been... eaten by monsters. Only his watch was found," The external patroller stole a glance at the deputy department head, whose expression did not change.
"I see," Yu Hanchao's voice was cold.
His gaze fell on the computer screen, where the overall ranking of the West Camp's rookie trial for batch 101 was shown.
"Go and look for Haitao's classmates in Class 23. See if he said or did anything during the rookie trial," Yu Hanchao ordered.
"Yes, department head," The external patroller stood up.
"Wait," Yu Hanchao stopped the external patroller who was about to leave, "Also, go and recruit Wang Ye, who's leveled first in the rookie trial."
"Huh? We're only a second-leveled department in the base defense division. He might not consider us..." The external patroller hesitated.
"Tell him that if he joins the external patrol department, his position will jump two levels in a row. He will obtain the title and treatment of an intermediate patroller straight away. He will also be given the highest standard of training plan and any conditions he can name will be met," Yu Hanchao said.
"This is against the rules..." The external patroller's voice was very low.
"Rules are dead," A glint flashed across Yu Hanbo's eyes, "I'll pay whatever is not covered, as long as you get him over here!"

Evolver's apartment, Room 714.
Ding!
After cultivating all night, Wang Ye, who was eating breakfast, received a message. His eyes lit up.
[Your digital currency account income: 175200 yuan.]
His first bucket of gold! He finally had money!
"It seems that the demon core of the silver ring snake demon is very valuable."
Wang Ye did some calculations. He had killed more than 60 low-grade fiend-level monsters in the rookie trial. Based on the 100% share, he should earn about 120,000 to 130,000.
The only thing left was the silver ring snake demon. A full 50,000 yuan!
"I'll just treat it as two tubes of potions."
Wang Ye didn't think of asking Yu Shuiqin for money. A man wouldn't do such a thing.
He was now a level 2 genetic warrior, so earning money was not difficult.
Even without the rookie benefits, a 50% cut meant that he would be able to earn 20,000 to 30,000 per day for an average of 1000 yuan per fiend-level monster.
"Ring..." The doorbell rang.
Wang Ye was surprised.
He looked at Doctor Shu, who had fallen asleep after making breakfast and being tired out with their "morning exercise", then got up to open the door.
Clack.
He opened the door and saw a familiar figure.
The girl had her hair up in a ponytail, looking pure and beautiful. The standard combat suit of the camp looked loose and comfortable on her. Her hands were before her body, holding a breakfast bag. When she saw him looking over, she revealed a sweet smile.
"Good morning, Wang Ye," Zhao Xiaoyu had put on some light makeup, giving off a girly vibe, "I bought breakfast. Do you..."
Zhao Xiaoyu's smile froze when she saw the breakfast on the table through the crack in the door. However, she quickly regained her composure, "Umm... Do you have time later?"
"Why?" Wang Ye gently closed the door.
Zhao Xiaoyu bit her pink lips, "Shall we talk in the room?"
Heh. Was she beating around the bush?
"Have you thought it through?" Wang Ye looked straight at his ex-girlfriend, the original owner of this body's first love.
"Huh?" Zhao Xiaoyu instantly felt as if she had been seen through. She avoided his gaze and blushed from her neck to her ears, "No, I'm not. I didn't..."
"Is that so? Then come back when you've thought it through," Wang Ye said.
Zhao Xiaoyu's expression changed several times as she rubbed her fingers together, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, "But if you really want it, it's... It's not impossible..."
After saying that, she lowered her head and didn't even dare to look at Wang Ye.
"You can, but I can't," Wang Ye calmly looked at the girl in front of him.
Her shyness instantly turned into anger. Her face turned red as she stomped her feet and ran away.
The image of the original owner of this body treating her so well a few months ago appeared in Wang Ye's mind.
In return, he was met with cold violence and a one-sided breakup.
Was such a woman worth it?
...
Time to set off into the wilderness!
Wang Ye put on the Dark Light Combat Suit that he had bought from the Evolver market yesterday.
It would be a waste if he didn't use the equipment coupon.
The personal equipment from the gene park needed to be customized, so it wasn't that fast.
It had to be said that the defense of the Dark Light Combat Suit was much better than the camp's standard combat suit. It greatly reduced his injury rate.
[Killed level 1 dog monster.]
[Potential Points: 6.22→6.72.]
Wang Ye raised his blade and easily killed a low-level fiend monster.
With the physical fitness of a level 2 genetic warrior and the mastery-level Red Sun Saber Technique, his attack power could easily crush low-level monsters.
"As expected, it's only 0.5."
Wang Ye wasn't surprised.
That was because, at this point, he only earned 0.02 potential points after killing mutated monsters.
Killing a monster that was one level lower than him would only grant him 50% of the standard potential points, and killing a monster that was two levels lower than him would only give him 20%.
It prevented him from taking shortcuts to earn potential points by killing monsters that were far weaker than him. It was not beneficial to the growth of his battle experience.
"Time to change locations."
Wang Ye was very frank. He had always pursued efficiency.
Since the North wasn't working, he would go to the West.
Although it was relatively more dangerous in the West, the number of medium-grade fiend-level monsters was much higher than in the North.
Three hours later.
Dawn Blade!
Wang Ye's saber flashed like fire, and the Red Sun Saber Technique was incomparably fierce.
Even though he was still scratched, the defense of the Dark Light Combat Suit allowed him to only suffer a few superficial injuries.
[Killed a level 2 rat monster.]
[Potential points: 15.78 →15.78.]]
"2 points."
Wang Ye recalled the silver ring snake demon that he had killed during the rookie trial.
He had obtained 6 potential points then, but at that time, he was still a level 1 genetic warrior.
"The potential points gained from killing above my level is 150%, so at the same level, awakening-type monsters provide twice the potential points."
Wang Ye had almost figured out the pattern.
Simply put, killing monsters that were stronger and rarer would give him more potential points, and vice versa.
"If I'm careful, hunting medium-grade fiend-level monsters shouldn't be a problem. This is a good opportunity to hone my battle experience."
Although the number of fiend-level monsters in the west of Encampment No. 3 had increased greatly, it was still far from the density during the rookie trial.
Relatively speaking, it was safer.
...
At night, Wang Ye quietly cultivated the perfection-level Red Sun Evolution Technique by himself.
Doctor Shu had been tired out again.
In one night, his progress toward becoming a level 3 genetic warrior increased from 2% to 6%.
There were no obstacles to the improvement of his physical fitness. He was still a long way from his limit.
The closer he got to his limit, the harder it would be to improve his body.
The physical limit of a beginner-rank Evolver was around 2000.
From level 2 (500) to level 3 (1000), the cultivation path was smooth. All he needed to do was work hard.
"Today's hunting efficiency should be higher than yesterday."
Wang Ye put on the Dark Light Combat Suit, took the Red Sun Saber, and prepared to set off into the wild.
Yesterday, he had been exploring and adapting to the new environment in the West. He focused on accumulating battle experience against medium-grade fiend-level monsters and had not gone all out.
Even so, he still obtained 20 potential points.
His target today was 30 potential points.
But before that, he decided to level up the Basic Red Sun Saber.
Increasing combat strength was his priority!
"Crack."
Wang Ye opened the door and was stunned.
