Chapter 209 - 62: Targeted?

Night.

Su Muyu returned, looking somewhat troubled.

Shen Fei was originally checking what could be bought on the Breaking Abyss Army’s official website, and turned to ask, "What’s wrong?"

"I accepted an Infernal task that requires me to find the item ’Dark Demon Core’ from an Epic-level Abyss creature, the ’Dark Mage’.

I searched through materials but couldn’t find it."

"Is that so, should I ask someone to look for it?"

"There’s no need, I initially wanted to post the task at the Logistics Department, but they said the month’s task slots are already full.

If I need to post, I have to wait until next month."

Su Muyu furrowed her brows, "But wasn’t the term just started? How could it be full already?

Moreover, I clearly saw someone go in afterward, and suddenly a task was added."

Shen Fei heard this, raised an eyebrow and said: "Is that so? Then it’s not an exception, it’s targeted? Tomorrow I’ll go with you to check."

"No need, I’ll first ask the teacher directly if there’s any news about the Demon Abyss. I was using the Logistics Department just to avoid bothering the teacher."

"Alright then."

Shen Fei nodded with a smile, "Let’s not dwell on the bothersome stuff, let’s eat first."

"Okay."

After finishing the meal, Su Muyu kissed Shen Fei, apologetically saying, "Husband, I might not be able to keep you company at night temporarily.

The upgrade came so suddenly, I need some time to adapt to my skills.

I’m falling behind you."

Upon learning that Shen Fei could defeat a Tier Eight Supreme General, Su Muyu’s sense of urgency grew stronger.

She doesn’t pursue being able to stand alongside Shen Fei, but at least not fall too far behind, possessing [Reverse Future Knowledge] allows her almost the maximum growth.

But due to her own limitations, [Reverse Future Knowledge] couldn’t fully manifest its potential, though it can show her the developments she wants.

Yet her strength also limits [Reverse Future Knowledge]’s predictions of future outcomes; if her strength is insufficient, [Reverse Future Knowledge] won’t predict dangerous ’futures’ for her.

Moreover, this talent requires time to bring its benefits.

"It’s alright."

Shen Fei pinched Su Muyu’s cheek, "Don’t be under too much stress, who is your husband after all? Who among our peers can compare to me?

Just keep moving forward, follow your own rhythm."

Shen Fei pondered in his mind, saying such might actually allow Su Muyu to lend a hand.

Like the Empress’s Anomalous Fire, some are hard to find in the Abyss.

With Su Muyu’s [Reverse Future Knowledge], finding them should be faster indeed.

Su Muyu saw Shen Fei seemingly lost in thought, assuming he was upset since they’ve been busy with the Desert Abyss issues these days.

No time to be intimate.

Suddenly her face flushed, she gestured for Shen Fei to come closer.

Shen Fei snapped out of it, instinctively moved closer, and asked, "What’s up?"

He heard Su Muyu whisper, "Once these urgent days pass, didn’t you want to try something?"

"Don’t be upset. I agree to it, alright?" Her tone soft, with a touch of moisture, tugging at Shen Fei’s heartstrings.

Initially, Shen Fei was confused, but quickly understood.

His eyes lit up, "Hmm?"

After all, being a man has its quirks, like..., songs after the flower in the rear garden across the river.

Previously, Su Muyu found it unclean and unwilling.

"You and your grand promises, go on, go on." Shen Fei was indeed a bit upset, having been in the Desert Abyss these previous days, leaving no time for a good chat.

He doesn’t smoke or drink nor indulge in games, so what’s wrong with liking some color, especially when it’s the color of his own wife.

But he understood Su Muyu.

Or rather, that’s how Professionals are, until reaching their limit, their focus often remains on enhancing personal strength.

Thus many Professionals are single or spend little time on relationships, lingering in the flowers instead becomes the norm, regardless of gender.

Shen Fei’s kind, whose Summoned Beast can thrive independently, is indeed rare.

After dinner, Su Muyu cleaned up the dishes in the automatic dishwasher and hurriedly left the villa.

Time is tight; especially just starting school she selected quite a few courses, a lot of knowledge needs mastering.

As for the night?

Professionals are inherently energetic, staying up has little effect, even several days without sleep is normal.

Cause likely when entering the Abyss or Abyss Edge, there’s no such thing as sleep for Abyssal Creatures.

Shen Fei, naturally staying home, continued searching for information on Anomalous Fire.

Yet, after flipping through, mostly found data on Anomalous Fire; neither the school website nor the Breaking Abyss Army website had any Anomalous Fire in stock.

’Anomalous Fire is indeed quite rare.’

Shen Fei realized good items rarely appear in the market.

After all, if such special items were obtained by Flame Class professionals.

The enhancement on Flame Class skills would be extremely terrifying.

Even for High Tier professionals, it holds value, the Empress could use [Emperor Flame Ancient Body] to devour Anomalous Fire.

Certainly other Flame Class professionals have special ways to control Anomalous Fire.

"Why not visit the Logistics Department?"

Shen Fei suddenly remembered the place Su Muyu mentioned, which was established by Imperial University.

Besides the credit tasks given by the school, students can also publish tasks.

As for rewards, it’s naturally credits.

But the difficulty of tasks here is regulated by the school, so tasks can’t be published to trade credits, etc.

What Su Muyu mentioned before was intending to post tasks through the Logistics Department.

"Might as well check what happened, if it’s done according to official rules then forget it, but if it’s targeting..."

Shen Fei stood up, saying: "I’m going out for a bit."

"Do you need us to follow?"

"No need."

Shen Fei donned his coat and left the villa; although the past three days since enrollment, he and Su Muyu often stayed in the library and villa.

But he was quite familiar with the building layout inside Imperial University.

Moments later.

Shen Fei arrived at a building, even though it was nighttime, people still came and went, hurried.

Once inside, it was extremely bright and spacious, quite grand.

"Is this where tasks are published?"

Shen Fei walked to a counter, the person processing things with a lowered head nodded: "Yes! Please wait, here’s the form..., you fill it out first..."

As he spoke, the boy behind the counter looked up, preparing to hand over the form, and seeing Shen Fei, his pupils contracted.

Maintaining his expression, he smiled: "Sorry, student. To spare students’ time, there’s a limit to student-published tasks each month.

It’s currently full."

But although the boy’s face didn’t change much, the change in his eyes wasn’t missed by Shen Fei, "Then why did you ask me to fill out the form just now."

"I thought you were a teacher."

The boy replied with a smile.

"I see, by the way. What’s your name?" Shen Fei nodded, seemingly accepting his explanation.

"It’s written here."

"Song Zhiqi, a nice name." Shen Fei nodded, didn’t rush to sit, pulled out his phone.

Song Zhiqi internally sneered, the so-called first among new students, seems to be a meek coward without temper.

Offended Vice President Jiang, still thinking of publishing tasks?

Go eat your fill.

"Hello, Director Wuu! The regulations at your school don’t seem right! Why is there a limit on students publishing tasks each month?"
