Anticipating the Enemy's Moves
After reviewing the task information on the screen, several pieces of information flashed through Luo Jun's mind. In addition to the points and Evaluation Points mentioned in the instructions, there was also information about the number of people in real time.
"Currently, there are 50 players remaining on our side and 50 players remaining on the opposing side."
Luo Jun frowned slightly. The two sides, a total of one hundred people, were randomly placed into a city of tens of millions. Finding and killing their opponent wouldn't be easy, let alone with the points system preventing indiscriminate killing...
The mission has just begun, and everyone, including myself, starts with 100 points, but each person's value is different. The description mentions that value increases with the number of kills, but it doesn't say whether unlocking abilities will also increase value.
In other words, Luo Jun could not determine whether the current value judgment was based on the full state or on the current state of the sealed vital energy and treasure.
This directly determines the tactical choices.
If the judgment is based on full condition, then the earlier the better, because many high-scoring players are likely relying on their powerful abilities and Noble Phantasm judgments, and now is when they are at their weakest, making the hunting cost-effectiveness the highest.
However, if we're judging based on the current state, then we should leave some powerful enemies to be killed later, so they'll be most valuable once they've fully evolved.
As for Luo Jun himself, this 1,000-point evaluation is basically of no reference value.
Tier A Mission contestant's Peak level is essentially their peak performance, which should correspond to a value of one thousand points. With Luo Jun's average attributes of nearly three hundred points, plus the bonus from the ninth level of the Body Tempering Art's Body Refinement Realm, even without Yuan Qi, he should have already reached the threshold of Peak. It's hard to say how this one thousand points was determined.
So what do we do now?
Looking at your meager 100 points, should you spend 50 points to scan all enemies within a one-kilometer radius, or spend 10 points to scan the nearest opponent with the highest score?
Luo Jun picked up his phone from the table, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and searched the city map. He discovered that the city's urban area alone was over 500 square kilometers, and if the suburbs were included, it would be several times larger... No matter which way you calculate it, the probability of finding anyone within a one-kilometer radius is not high. It's very likely that he'll spend fifty points and end up not finding a single person...
Luo Jun wasn't worried about losing points; he was confident he could easily eliminate anyone he could find. The problem was, if he didn't find anyone, not only would he waste points, but he'd also have to wait another hour...
Should we use dice? But dice can't change the established facts. The dice have already been rolled. If there's really no one nearby, at most they'll tell you it was Mandatory Event, which is still pretty useless...
"Xiao Wang, print out the document I just sent you."
Just as Luo Jun was analyzing the situation, he suddenly heard someone call out to him from behind. Although he didn't know the person's name was Xiao Wang, his Perception Ability told him that the voice was clearly directed at him. Then he noticed that the office software on the bottom of his computer screen started flashing.
Luo Jun turned around and found a man in his mid-thirties with a slightly protruding belly looking at him.
"Why are you looking at me?" The man noticed Luo Jun's gaze and frowned. "And has the plan I gave you yesterday been completed? President Li is pressing for it!"
"Hey? I'm asking you a question. Why are you staring at me like that? Are you stupid?" Luo Jun's gaze made the man a little uneasy, but when he thought of his position as a leader, he became even more displeased with this kind of implicit defiance from his subordinate. Suddenly, an inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and he began to list "Xiao Wang's" faults for no reason.
"Also, I heard you left before 10 p. m. last night? Did you finish your work? Everyone is working hard for the company's IPO, don't you feel ashamed to leave so early?"
Faced with the leader's reprimand, Luo Jun blinked but did not react.
"Hey? Where did you learn this stubborn attitude?" The man was even angrier. At this moment, a young woman with short hair stood up from the next workstation and said to the man with a smile, "Manager Liu, Brother Wang also had some family matters yesterday. I heard his father call him, and he sounded quite anxious..."
As she spoke, the girl winked at Luo Jun: "Brother Wang, you don't seem to have slept well last night, and you're still a bit out of it. You should quickly explain to the manager and apologize... Also, regarding yesterday's proposal, after Brother Wang left, the whole team worked together to create a preliminary version. Manager, would you like to take a look?"
As she spoke, the girl picked up a stack of documents and handed them over.
"Jia Jia knows how to talk." Upon seeing the short-haired girl, Manager Liu's expression softened. He walked over to her, smiled, and took the documents. He even took the opportunity to grab her hand and examine it closely. "Oh, a new manicure? This color suits you quite well. You're so busy with work, yet you still have time to dress up?"
Jia Jia's hand was suddenly grabbed. She instinctively tried to pull away, but after a struggle, she gave in and could only force a smile, saying, "It's just so I can be in a good mood and focus more on my work..."
"It's normal for girls to like dressing up. Next time you need something, just tell me." Manager Liu, with a slightly lewd smile, touched Jia Jia's hand. "I can still approve a few hours of leave..."
"Manager Liu, right?"
Luo Jun suddenly spoke up. Manager Liu, who was enthusiastically stroking him, became furious upon hearing his voice. "What, are you really senile? Don't you recognize me?"
As soon as Manager Liu turned around, he saw a huge fist filling his field of vision.
Thump!
With a muffled thud, Manager Liu's slightly overweight body flew sideways, bumping into a young man passing by. The documents he was holding flew everywhere, as if a rain of paper had fallen.
Looking at Manager Liu again, his nose was crooked to one side, his two front teeth were missing, his face was covered in blood, and he was rolling on the ground, clutching his face.
"You controlled your strength well..." Seeing that Manager Liu was still in good spirits, Luo Jun breathed a sigh of relief. It had been too long since he had sparred with an ordinary person, and he was afraid that his punch would kill the other party.
"Someone's been attacked! Wake up!"
Seeing that there were employees watching, Manager Liu shouted loudly, reminding those around him to call the police. However, due to his nose and front teeth, his speech was somewhat slurred.
The employees were all ordinary people, and they were all startled by the scene. Only after Manager Liu reminded them did they take out their phones. As for Luo Jun, he neither ran away nor avoided it, but stood there watching the fat manager's performance.
"Brother Wang... you..." Jiajia, who witnessed the whole thing, was Jia Jia shocked. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her was the same timid and kind-hearted person she always knew.
"Jia Jia..." Luo Jun turned to look at him. "Sometimes, you should bravely speak out about things you don't like. If you keep feeling wronged, you'll become numb."
After saying that, he took two steps forward, snatched Manager Liu's phone, grabbed his finger to unlock it, then took a few pictures of his blood-covered, chubby face, opened a social media app, and posted it on his WeChat Moments:
"This is what happens when you harass employees. I deserve it. I urge all colleagues and superiors to take this as a warning!"
The city's police responded quickly, and twenty minutes later, Luo Jun was taken to the nearest police station for questioning.
"In other words, you fully admit to the assault..." He was interrogated by two police officers, one younger and the other seemingly more experienced.
"That's right." Luo Jun nodded. "What should be the sentence for my actions?" "That depends on the other party's medical examination results. He's shouting that he'll never give up, and he's very emotional. A settlement might not be so easy..."
"It's alright, it's fine to stay here!" Luo Jun looked around. Although he was in the interrogation room, he could still keep track of the entire police station's activities thanks to his exceptional hearing.
"You haven't realized the seriousness of the situation," the young officer cautioned. "If harm is confirmed, it won't be as simple as just detention."
Luo Jun nodded, then suddenly asked, "Do all your police officers carry guns?"
"What's it to you?" The young officer frowned.
"There must be an armory, right?" Luo Jun laughed. "This police station looks pretty big. Do you think they have Submachine Gun or even rifles?"
Luo Jun didn't know much about the police station in the Main World, and besides, this place was created by the Chaos Mission. Even if it looked similar, it was still another world. So he was really curious about what kind of weapons the police station had.
"Don't ask so many questions!" the older officer said. "Just honestly explain your own problems!"
Luo Jun smiled and shook his head, "I was just concerned. After all, weapons are too dangerous; we can't afford any mishaps..."
"It's none of your business!" the young officer said irritably.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gunshot rang out from outside the interrogation room!
"What's going on?" The two officers immediately became alert, but before they could react further, the young man being interrogated opposite them had already sprung up, kicked open the interrogation room door, and rushed out with incredible agility.

"Hey! He got away!" The two immediately gave chase, only to find that the young man had vanished. Inside the police station, alarms blared and chaos erupted as many officers rushed toward the armory.
"What's going on?" the two men asked, stopping one of the men.
"I don't know... It seems someone forced their way into the armory and managed to steal a gun!"
"How is this possible?" The two were stunned. The police station's armory was heavily guarded, and the firearms were all locked in cabinets. Even if someone could break into the police station, they couldn't possibly enter the armory, let alone open the gun cabinets. In broad daylight, were all those police officers just for show?
Just then, another gunshot rang out from outside the window. The group peered out and saw two men rushing out of the police station. One was carrying a Submachine Gun, and the other was carrying a riot shotgun. Both were carrying large travel bags, which were bulging with weapons, as could be easily guessed from the protruding gun barrels.
These two guys are carrying high-powered weapons; they wouldn't normally get their hands on them unless there's a major incident. How did they get them? Did they raid an armory?
Police officers tried to stop them, but the two thugs opened fire as soon as they showed their faces. They ran away while firing, and despite carrying weapons weighing dozens of kilograms, they moved with incredible speed, demonstrating extraordinary physical abilities!
Just as they were about to rush out of the courtyard, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
"It's that kid who hit someone!" the older officer exclaimed in surprise. "How did he get here?"
"I don't know..." the young officer said, looking bewildered. "It seemed to just flash out like that!"
The two thugs were startled by Luo Jun's sudden appearance. One of them immediately raised his gun, but the other stopped him, looking at Luo Jun and asking, "Which side are you on?"
Unless the players know each other or have obvious signs of contamination, it is difficult to determine with the naked eye whether the other player is Polluter or from the Main World.
Luo Jun glanced at the two men, recognizing none of them, and could only spend fifty points to exchange for an Enemy Detection.
Instantly, a map of a one-kilometer radius appeared in his mind, with two red dots flashing right in front of him!
Both of them are enemies!
Then there's nothing more to say!
Luo Jun's eyes turned cold, and the two men sensed a distinct Killing Intent, knowing that the other was an enemy and not a friend. They immediately raised their guns and fired!
Da da da da!
Bang!
The shotgun and Submachine Gun fired at the same time, but Luo Jun neither dodged nor avoided. With a flick of his wrists, he created hundreds of afterimages in front of him, managing to collect all the bullets into his palms!
Luo Jun's speed made the two Polluter widen their eyes. To be able to catch a bullet, could it be that he has unlocked Yuan Qi... no, it should be that he has unlocked Gang Qi!
That's way too fast!
Before they could react, Luo Jun swung his hands, throwing the bullets and pellets back at them, instantly turning the two men into sieves!
"Wow... amazing..." The two men, covered in blood and with disbelief on their faces, slowly collapsed at the entrance of the police station.
At the same time, Luo Jun received 240 points in his account, which, together with the remaining 50 points, brought his total to 290 points.
These two guys aren't very good; their average skill level is only a little over 100, making them one of the weaker contestants this time...
It's amazing that they could come up with the idea of robbing an armory... Cultivators have sealed their vital energy are mostly just ordinary people with physiques several times stronger than normal. Without the protection of their inner energy, firearms are enough to cause fatal damage to them.
Luo Jun beat up Manager Liu partly because he was angry with him, but mainly because he had this in mind. So he deliberately let himself be taken to the police station to wait for the enemy to come and kill them, or exchange information with his teammates. Now it seems that this method is quite effective.
However, he didn't intend to stay there any longer. Before the ten-second map disappeared, he leaped up and headed northwest.
There's another red dot flashing about 800 meters away!
"Hey, Master..." At the second-floor window, the young police officer rubbed his eyes. "Am I seeing things? That guy... he caught the bullet?"
"I saw it too..." The older officer was also stunned. "Not only did he catch it, he could even throw it back..."
"Master, are we going to see Superman?"
"What Superman... you've been watching too many sci-fi movies!" The older officer scoffed. "He's probably some kind of cultivator!"
