Chapter 286: Profession Change Spots, the Dust Settles
âWow, Old Feng. Youâre ruthless, man! Youâre the only one who broke the 2,000 points wall!â
âBut, with this, it looks like you took a loss by participating in this hidden mission. If youâd continued with your previous momentum instead, youâd probably have even more points!â Big Pineapple said to Feng Luo, smiling.
âWhy are you looking at my points?⊠Youâre not in the top five right now, arenât you nervous?â
Feng Luo glanced at Big Pineapple and found that Big Pineapple was oddly very relaxed. And in regards to Big Pineappleâs remark stating that he had taken a loss, Feng Luo didnât think so.
After all, in this Big Escape mission, apart from killing two competitors and obtaining 400 points, the gains he received from the loot were enough to fill his backpack and even make it âOverweight.â (Backpacks could be overweight; they just couldnât exceed their available space. Overweight also meant an increased load!)
And before the spacecraft arrived, he also used all his remaining kill points to unlock some of the items in his backpack that could be discarded before taking the most valuable items dropped by September Night Rain, even discarding a few pieces of Rare Grade equipment again.
Right now, he had more than 40 Rare Grade gears in his backpack, and there were even several Excellent and Rare Grade decorative items.
Previously, Nightingale mentioned that the loot from the mission would be at least five million. In truth, this was quite a safe and low estimate.
NPCs did not consider the volatility of the market for gears when they valued the items. If Feng Luo put the items he obtained in an auction, it was absolutely possible for him to net tens of millions!
Moreover, Sister Ruiâs companyâs auction was going to start up soon!
So although all the core crystals from Ichiro Yamamoto were kaput now, his actual gain wouldnât be that much worse than the other playersâ crystal gain from the distributed kill points.
After all, though the three NPCs were worth a lot of kill points, the players might not obtain a lot of points from them.
However, the computation of the kill points was certainly quite odd. The Big Escape mission had already finished, but their kill points on the game interface were still not yet cleared.
Could it be that these kill points are still useful?
Feng Luo looked at his kill points column that displayed â24/4213â and wondered.
âŠ
âI was initially quite nervous, but now that the results are out, Iâm not that nervous anymore. After all, I didnât really perform all that well in the mission, so if I canât get into the top five in the exam, I can only accept it.â
âSince the top 15 still have a chance to change profession in the future, Iâll work hard to succeed next time!â
Big Pineapple was very optimistic. Clearly, he knew that in this mission, as well as the previous examinations, his performance wasnât very impressive.
âThe hidden profession change mission was as hard as expected⊠Good thing Iâm still among the top 15, and I still have one more chance!â
âCan any expert who succeeded in changing their profession add me as a friend?â
âF*ck, Iâm ranked 16! If the exam didnât end prematurely, I would definitely have made it into the top 15. I almost completed an intel mission! Damn it to hell!â
For the moment, the players chatted among themselves.
In truth, everyone had already seen the ranking earlier, they just werenât sure if there would be any last-minute changes. However, now they felt as if the âdust had settled,â so naturally, there were people who were all smiles while others frowned. As for those who were eliminated, naturally, they cursed.
Of course, they cursed and complained in the playersâ communications channel. After all, those close to the top 15 were still hoping for something to happen that could change the situation.
Was there any chance to turn things around? Of course there was! The current ranking did not include the NPC instructorsâ assessment results.
That was why the NPC major general frowned. He then slammed his hand on the table and barked, âQuiet down! You are prohibited from making a ruckus!â
After he said that, a mute notification appeared in front of every player in the room. At that point, apart from within the playersâ comm channel, they could no longer speak.
âThis ranking isnât the final ranking. There are some other changes,â said the Asian NPC major general.
After that, he looked at Haruko seated beside him.
âSakura. Explain it to them!â
âYes, sir!â Haruko replied. Then, with a cold expression, she said, âFor this examination mission, apart from passing the normal missions announced through the special agent wristwatch and glasses, there was another secret mission.â
Secret mission?
Upon hearing that, since they couldnât speak, most people looked surprised. Only a few looked like they had suspected it and were now certain it was the case.
âThe mission content is considered confidential Federation information. It is not open to the public, so I wonât disclose anything about that.â
âI am only announcing the rewards of the four players who made it through the hidden mission,â said Haruko coldly.
Reward!
Young Master Xiao frowned as he felt a slight irritation.
âNumber 105. Instructor assessment: Hunting Tiger (64), Sakura (72), Nightingale (55). Group Battle assessment (70). Rewarded points: 261!â
âNumber 205. Instructor assessment: Hunting Tiger (74), Sakura (80), Nightingale (86). Group Battle assessment (80). Rewarded points: 320!â
âNumber 9. Instructor assessment: Hunting Tiger (75), Sakura (84), Nightingale (79). Group Battle assessment (92). Rewarded points: 330!â
âNumber 99. Instructor assessment: Hunting Tiger (89), Sakura (93), Nightingale (88). Group Battle assessment (90). Rewarded points: 360!â
After Haruko finished reading the first Number 105âs (Big Pineapple) playerâs reward, Big Pineappleâs points increased immediately.
He immediately rose to fourth place. At the same time, he also pushed Number 172 (Young Master Gou) out of his original fifth spot!
âF*ck!â
Young Master Gouâs eyes widened. He immediately wanted to stand up and curse.
But he immediately found out that he couldnât; he couldnât even get his ass off his chair.
Clearly, this was also due to the systemâs limitations!
However, Big Pineapple only sat in the valuable fourth spot for a few seconds. It was because Number 205âs reward quickly pushed him back down again.
Number 205 was the mysterious Scout player!
Next was Number 9, Phoenix. Her more than 300 points pushed Big Pineapple down again.
As for Feng Luo, since he was already in the first spot, his final point increase did not really cause any changes. It only increased his points to 2,700, widening the gap between him and Young Master Xiao by almost one half!
As such, the ranking changed into the following:
First Rank. Feng Luo (2,700)!
Second Rank. Young Master Xiao (1,990)!
Third Rank. Scout (1,860)!
Fourth Rank. Number 187 (1,820)!
Fifth Rank. Phoenix (1,750)!
Sixth Rank. Big Pineapple (1,631)!
Seventh Rank. Young Master Gou (1,520)!
âŠ
The ranking changed substantially in an instant. However, Big Pineapple was still one step away from being directly qualified for the hidden profession change while âYoung Master Xiaoâ still stood firm in his second spot!
As for Young Master Gou, who had been pushed to the seventh spot and had thus lost his chance to change profession, he was already cursing and complaining in the playersâ comm channel.
âDamn it, Brother Xiao! After you succeed in changing your profession, you must help me investigate and find out who pushed me out of my spot!â
âForget the eight million. The thing is, Iâve already boasted to Hu Zi and the others. I said that itâs a given that Iâll be able to change my profession, and now Iâm just punching myself in the face!â
âThe intel of the Hound Organization canât be relied on in the f*cking end. Damn f*ck!â
Young Master Xiao checked the ranking and saw that Number 99âs points had leaped forward once again, almost leading him by one half. He looked gloomy and said coldly, âRelax, Iâll definitely investigate.â
However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically.
âAlso, Iâll announce another round of punishment.â
âAs some people banded together in the examination mission to help a few individuals obtain high points at the end, thus seriously breaching the codes of conduct as well as the rules of the mission, weâve initially deducted half of their points as a warning. Unfortunately, to our surprise, some people still tried to test our limits!â
âPlease donât think that you can break our worldâs rules by using simple tricks. The reason some things were ignored was simply that youâre not qualified to be held accountable!â
âFor those who broke the rules twice, they will be prohibited from joining the special agent bureaus. Permanently!â
After that, the NPC major general looked at all the players seated around the table. Then, banged his hand on the table before standing up and saying coldly, âStar Gaming⊠F*ckâŠâ
Young Master Gouâs face had fallen, and before he could speak, he was kicked out of the virtual space. Disappearing along with him were Young Master Xiao, who was still gloomy, as well as several others.
