221 Quiet
In the blink of an eye, nearly a month had passed.
This evening, along the coast, four students from Wanzhou Academy were on duty. Suddenly, a strong fluctuation of Star Power came from the distant sea.
The team leader among the four, a young man with brown hair, immediately took out his binoculars and looked into the distance.
“Is it Su Yuan from Demon Capital ‘blowing up fish’ again?” the only girl in the group asked.
The brown-haired young man put away the binoculars. “Yes. With that Frost Giant Dragon’s round of Ice Skills bombarding, there aren’t many sea beasts left.”
A month ago, during the thousand-level sea beast tide, Su Yuan became famous by slashing down 50,000 battle merits.
On the entire B-3 island, whether they were academy students or military warriors, no one did not know him. They also knew that both the Hellfire and Frost Giant Dragon were summoned by him.
The Frost Giant Dragon was indispensable for him to gain so many battle merits.
The girl showed an envious expression. “Having such a powerful summoning is just too great. You can earn battle merits just by lying down!”
The brown-haired young man shook his head. “You’re thinking too simply. Summoning Cards aren’t cheap. A Summoning Card that can summon a Frost Giant Dragon isn’t something you can just buy even if you spend thousands of Cent Star Stones.
Besides, leveling up summoning skills isn’t easy. You have to keep using them to improve proficiency.
This requires a lot of spiritual power. You find it stressful to practice breathing spiritual power daily. It would be even harder to train well with a Blue Summon Card.”
The girl asked, “Then how can Su Yuan practice so well? And isn’t he just a sophomore?”
The brown-haired young man didn’t expect the girl to ask such a question. He chuckled and shook his head. “People have different constitutions. What others can do, you and I may not be able to.
Don’t you understand yet? For a Star Card Master, the most important thing is not effort but talent!”
The girl was momentarily stunned, then rubbed her nose and asked, “So, how much battle merit do you think he’s earned by blowing up fish every day now?”
The brown-haired young man thought for a bit. “Probably about 100,000… During the last thousand-level sea beast tide publicized battle merits, he got over 50,000 battle merits.
Although there hasn’t been any big sea beast tide in the past month, he can earn 50,000 battle merits in a month by blowing up fish daily with that Frost Giant Dragon.
After all, as long as it’s within 5 kilometers of the coastline, the sea beasts killed will be counted as battle merits.”
“100,000…”
Hearing this number, the others couldn’t help but click their tongues.
The basic reward for this action was just 5,000 battle merits…
100,000 battle merits were simply unimaginable for most people.
In the sky, the Frost Giant Dragon carried Su Yuan over the heads of the group and flew towards the camp.
Soon, Su Yuan returned to the camp and recalled the dragon.
“Su Yuan, back?” Cheng Mu greeted with a smile.
Now, Cheng Mu was in complete admiration of Su Yuan.
Su Yuan replied, “Yeah, isn’t it almost time for our team to go on duty?”
“To be honest, we are enough for the duty.”
Su Yuan smiled. “Can’t forget the main job.”
Also, the summoning time of the Frost Giant Dragon was almost up.
Cheng Mu nodded. “Alright then, let’s go. The team leader and others have already set off.”
…
Along the western line, four squads of the 11th battalion were dispersed at four locations along the coast, with Su Yuan’s 11-4 squad at the northernmost point of the four teams.
At night, the silver moon hung high, and the night was calm; it was a rare peace.
By a large rock dozens of meters outside the coast, Gong Zhouheng and others were chatting casually.
“I heard that in at most five days, the barrier on our B-3 island will be completed,” Gong Zhouheng said.
Pei Pengfei said joyfully, “Really! That’s great. I have collected over 8,000 battle merits. Plus the task’s basic 5,000 points, I should be able to get a blue Water Element Star Card close to T2.”
Cheng Mu sighed. “I’m far behind. I only have 5,000 battle merits now. It seems I can only get a T3 card…”
“Captain, you should be able to get a T2 Star Card, right?” Pei Pengfei asked Gong Zhouheng.
Gong Zhouheng nodded slightly. “Yes, roughly. I have 15,000. Plus the 5,000 points from completing the task, it’s about right…”
Pei Pengfei clicked his tongue. “You’re indeed the top 100 Silver Extreme master of the grade. That’s twice what I’ve got!”
Cheng Mu also showed envy. “Impressive, Captain!”
Over time, students and the military warriors on the island were getting more familiar with each other.
Now that the barrier’s near completion, students were becoming increasingly curious about the various treasures in the military warehouse, wondering what level of items their current battle merits could exchange for.
Based on some hints from the military warriors, the students had a rough idea.
As mentioned earlier, the 5,000 battle merits given to each person after completing this mission could barely exchange for a Blue Star Card, which was indeed correct.
But this Blue Star Card was just an ordinary Star Card, similar to the Big-eared Steel-toothed Dog’s Steel Teeth Bite among White Cards. Star Card Masters couldn’t even unleash half its power. It’s somewhat lackluster…
Further up, T3-level Star Cards required over 10,000 battle merits;
