After passing the inspection, Qin Siyang and Li Tianming left the safe zone together.
Li Tianming was wearing Cold-Resistant Suit, while Qin Siyang wore his Cyan-Striped Armor. The two of them moved through the area outside the safe zone.
Beyond the safe zone, the sequence ability users were all fiercely battling the gods.
Seeing the scene before him, Qin Siyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"It's so much livelier outside the safe zone. Look at everyone—they're full of energy! So full of life!"
Li Tianming glanced at Qin Siyang, "Why do I feel like you're some kind of battle maniac? You actually enjoy coming outside the safe zone this much?"
"What's not to like? It not only lets you stretch your muscles but also keeps your mindset positive and makes you feel younger!"
"Feel younger? Why don't I feel that?"
"That means you're not moving enough. See that sequence ability user over there fighting the Whipworm?"
"You mean the one who's getting smacked around by the Whipworm, rolling all over the ground with no power to fight back?"
"Yeah, that one."
"What, you know him? How do you know he feels younger?"
"Old Li, can't you see for yourself?"
"See what?"
"You didn't notice how he's getting whipped so bad he's wailing like a grandson?"
Li Tianming squinted at Qin Siyang, starting to feel like bringing him outside the 213 Safe Zone exit was a mistake.
They didn't linger near the safe zone.
Pressing forward, they ventured deeper into the desolate wilderness where no one else was around.
With the experience from his previous two outings, Qin Siyang was more confident.
The first few kilometers were practically a light jog for him.
Later, as the surroundings became devoid of other sequence ability users, he still strode forward at a brisk pace.
Along the way, he effortlessly dealt with small, foolish gods that suddenly appeared to block his path.
Li Tianming, walking beside him, reminded him, "Don't go any deeper. Just stay in this area. If we go farther in, we might run into large gods."
"No way, there's nothing worthwhile here. The occasional small god isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Li Tianming glanced at Qin Siyang's slightly bulging backpack with disdain, "Listen to yourself. You've casually strolled around and already killed nearly thirty Shield Plateworms. That's a decent amount of points."
"There are still more than two months until the special recruitment. At this rate, even if you take weekends off, you can still rack up 4,000 points. Based on my experience, the top spot in special recruitment is usually around 10,000 points. What are you so anxious about?"
But Qin Siyang was not satisfied, "No, it's not easy to come out, so I have to score big."
"It's not like you drove yourself here. What's so hard about it? Can you stop trying to bite off more than you can chew?"
"We're in this together. No problem!"
"There is a problem! A huge one! I'm an Insurer, not a Burial Companion. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
But Qin Siyang kept going deeper.
According to the special recruitment agreement he signed with Zhao Longfei, he had to maintain the highest God-Hunting Points among new students to keep his privileges.
He didn't know how many strong contenders were among the new students.
But right now, across the entire safe zone, there were over 100,000 sequence ability users with higher God-Hunting Points than him.
Florence had also mentioned that among first-tier ability users alone, there were probably one or two thousand people with more points than him.
If he didn't seize the chance to score big, he'd probably lose his privileges the moment school started.
Scanning the surroundings, Qin Siyang felt that this area wasn't too far out. At least not as deep as where he had picked up the Vine Core last time, so he pressed on.
"What the hell are you trying to do? Qin Siyang, stop moving forward!"
Qin Siyang replied, "I need to kill a medium-sized god at least. Hunting only small gods won't cut it for points."
"Any further and there's a real chance of running into a large god! It's too dangerous! Don't you see that there's not a single sequence ability user around? If you go any further, I'm not coming with you!"
Seeing that Li Tianming was genuinely getting angry, Qin Siyang finally stopped, "Fine, then let's just look around the area, check the sides."
The two of them changed course, moving sideways while staying alert, wary of any sudden appearances by medium-sized gods.
After walking for a while, they only encountered small gods, all of which Qin Siyang easily dealt with, collecting their Shield Plates.
However, since this area was farther from the safe zone, even the small gods' Shield Plates were worth double-digit points. Unlike the easy kills near the safe zone.
At some unknown point in their journey, they suddenly came across a skull in front of them.
But this skull was not the usual grayish-white of bones. It shimmered with an eerie, blood-red glow.
Qin Siyang asked, "Old Li, do you know what this is?"
Li Tianming stared at the skull, his mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long time.
Instead of answering, he asked Qin Siyang, "Qin Siyang, I'm an Insurer. Are there any restrictions on hunting gods here?"
"Yeah. Since you didn't register your identity and points at the checkpoint, and I brought you in, you can only assist me. You can't hunt gods alone. In other words, when we return to the safe zone, you can't have anything in your backpack."
"And if I do take something?"
"You hand it over to the United Government."
"And if I refuse?"
Qin Siyang frowned, "Old Li, are you legally illiterate? Haven't you ever watched the Godslayer Camp's law education series?"
Li Tianming also frowned, "Who the hell watches legal education posts on the forums like you?"
"Fine, I didn't expect there'd be a day when I had to educate you. If you refuse, the Management Bureau will get involved, and the minimum sentence is one year in prison."
"One year? That serious?"
Qin Siyang curled his lips, "One year is the lightest sentence. The length depends on the value of what you tried to smuggle out. If you take out something like a Vine Core and get caught, you're probably getting the death penalty."
Li Tianming swallowed hard, thought for a moment, then asked, "We're close, right?"
"Depends."
"Huh? How does it depend?"
"Normally, we're close. Life-or-death friendship, no question. But in special cases, you're you, and I'm me."
"When is it a special case?"
"When your thoughts start getting dangerous."
"…"
Qin Siyang looked at Li Tianming warily.
Li Tianming's eyes were glowing, his mouth was nearly watering, and his face was flushed like some perverted old man. Making Qin Siyang realize that this skull was definitely not ordinary.
This blood-red skull must hold some unspeakable secret.
Li Tianming clenched his teeth and said, "Whatever we get this time, aside from the points, we'll split everything 50-50! I trust you—if you agree, we start now!"
"If you trust me, then I won't lie to you. A 50-50 split is impossible," Qin Siyang shook his head, "Money and sequence potions, sure. But not anything else."
"If we're splitting sequence potions, what else is there to refuse?"
Qin Siyang smirked, "What if we get something like a Vine Core?"
