Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 40: 040 Heretical Arbitration House

With doubts in her heart, Yue Ying noticed sothing distinctly different as she looked again.

It was a minuscule improvent, but the expert insight of a swordsmanship grandmaster was beyond question.

Could she actually gain experience from bullying the weak?

She didn't understand, yet she was greatly shocked.

…

[Your attack caused a critical hit.]

[You have delivered a critical hit in actual combat, heavy weapon proficiency experience 0. (The current opponent is too weak to provide any improvent.)]

["Lucky Strike" energy 10.]

[Your abilities have been honed through prolonged sparring, reflexes 0.1.]

Huh? An unexpected gain.

"Next!"

There was no response.

The most elite and fierce of the new recruits had been laid out, all of them looking up to their king.

Bai E's gaze swept around him, and no one dared to et it head-on.

That's it?

If that's it, so be it.

A total of 22 points of "Lucky Strike" energy had been scraped together from the battle royal, and he was definitely not at a loss.

The origin of this skill was unknown, but it was undoubtedly his capital for establishing himself.

As for interactions with players... He didn't know how many there were at present, but there were definitely others besides himself capable of issuing quests.

If he could improve through interactions with players, so could others; this was not his sole advantage.

The future was still bleak; comrades still needed to work hard.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Seeing Bai E trying to head toward the drill field, an onlooker grabbed his arm.

It was Dashan.

All four of his teammates were there.

They had witnessed the entirety of the wheel war, feeling honored by their teammate who descended like a deity among the new recruits, unmatched in his prowess.

For the first ti, they felt their leader was wise.

Seeing his teammates, Bai E also showed a smile, "When did you guys get here?"

Hu coughed softly and said cheerfully, "We've been here all along."

Could they admit they had been following him all day?

Once more, Dashan asked, "Where are you planning to go now?"

The dayti was for training, but the night was a precious opportunity to deepen bonds and understanding among teammates.

On the battlefield, teamwork was always more important than individual ability.

"Training," Bai E answered as if it were the most natural thing.

The instructor wasn't around, and the nights were lonely when spending them alone.

Sneaking in training, the passion was thrilling.

"..."

"???"

Seeing the astounded looks of his teammates, Bai E felt as if ants were crawling on him, "Why are you looking at like that?"

"You're still going to train?"

"Does your instructor even let you go?"

Given Bai E's performance, not even a new recruit warrior who had self-improved three or four tis could catch up; wasn't it clear that he had already t his targets?

Still going?

"But in two days..."

You picked up on Bai E's thoughts, "Even if the battle starts tomorrow, training now won't help..."

"Hmm?"

"You probably haven't been told yet... but managing to break through three to four tis within 24 hours is already the limit for the human body. If you can still break through if you train now, then you can only be a believer of the war devil."

"..."

Are there daily limits to self-improvent? Is the human body that fragile?

But...

"Demon Believer?"

In Bai E's understanding, weren't believers supposed to worship deities?

Higher-dinsional demons, the endless Bug Race, the crisis of intelligent machinery... These cosmic nuisances were just broad information released by the official site, and Bai E knew nothing specific about them.

Realizing this was an opportunity to learn more, Bai E actively prompted the topic.

"Demons, too, are deities," You explained as they walked along with Bai E.

"Believers who worship demons and receive a response gain powers beyond imagination. Those who worship the Warbringer are fierce in flesh but prone to killing; those who worship the Eternal are not afraid of illness but will spread plagues uncontrollably; those who worship Desire obtain endless pleasure but fall deeper into degeneracy; as for the believers of Conspiracy... it's imperceptible.

The demons of higher dinsions are endless, and beneath the four Great Evil Gods, there are countless Greater Demons, each granting different powers to their believers. However, one thing remains unchanged: Demon Believers must be eradicated quickly, or their bodies will beco a bridge through which demons can enter our world.

That's precisely what the Heretical Arbitration House in the city takes care of."

[Acquired character information: Demon Believer.]

If one could gain abilities surpassing ordinary people, it's not surprising that so would choose to believe.

After all, human bodies are simply too weak.

Even breaking through has its limits.

Hmm... it seems players can surpass this limit?

Just from one lumberjacking task, that player nad Kuang Xin seed to have gained a 0.6 increase in physical fitness.

Damn privileged dogs!

"Did you just say... the Heretical Arbitration House?"

You sat down in front of the fire, staring into the dancing flas as they explained absentmindedly, "It is a law enforcent agency within the city, designed specifically to deal with Demon Believers, harmful mutants, and other heresies that might erge from amongst regular humans.

Their thods tend to be rather radical, so if you ever co across them in the future, rember to keep your distance. Of course, if you have aspirations in this area, you could also try to get in touch."

[Unlocked Knowledge: Heretical Arbitration House.]

Bai E heard so hope for the future.

It seed that the future of a created being wasn't limited just to being an expendable soldier.

"So, do I also have a chance to join the Heretical Arbitration House?"

You glanced at Bai E, "Are you really interested?"

"Just curious..."

"Curious..."

You murmured softly.

Curious? Curiosity is normal.

Newly created beings are curious about everything, but Bai's curiosity seed even more intense?

Dismissing these thoughts, You continued, "Not only the Heretical Arbitration House, the chanical Court, the Security Forces, the Judgnt Hall, all are possible destinations for us. Of course, staying in the military is another developnt path. Your admission into any of them will depend on your training in the camp and your performance on the battlefield."

"What about everyone else?"

"Us?"

You shrugged, "Who knows?"

You might end up dead on the next battlefield; the future is too uncertain.

Song Ying, expressionless, added on the side, "But you are very impressive, I think you will have room for choice in your future. If you develop in the military, rember one thing—stay away from the armored regint. No need to understand, just rember."

"Oh... okay."

Armored regint... a familiar term.

The general who challenged the chief examiner during the new recruits' shooting test seed to be from the armored regint.

So, is it because of the identity of a created being?

Bai E felt a slight heaviness in his heart.

External threats and internal troubles, trouble really does co in spades.

Seeing Bai E seemingly a bit downcast, as a thoughtful team leader, Tiger patted his shoulder, "Don't think too much about it. Train well and fight hard. That's our primary duty."

Da Shan also asked cheerily on the side, "Yeah, how was today's training? We saw you co out of the shooting range a few minutes early this afternoon."

Speaking of business, Song Ying's face beca more solemn, "That is your greatest responsibility on the battlefield; take it seriously."

"Oh~" Bai E nodded in agreent, "The instructor said I graduated and that I don't need to go anymore..."

"???"

"???"

"He also gave this, as a reward for being the first to graduate."

"Ration Bar No.3!?"

"???"

"!!!"

Little brother, what's going on?
