Target

Someone jumped to their death from a building inside the school; the victim was a teacher. According to witnesses, there were other figures on the Rooftop, raising the possibility of homicide.

This is a very serious matter. The school has reported it to the police and has also ordered the temporary closure of the campus.

The school's actions angered the parents outside the school gate. They were already anxiously waiting to pick up their children, and now, with such a heinous incident, they worried that a dangerous murderer might be lurking on campus. How could the parents feel at ease? They all started making a scene at the school gate.

"Open the door quickly! My child is easily frightened. If he gets scared, will your school be responsible?"

"That teacher who died must have had a problem! If we're going to find the killer, we should look among the teachers. What do the kids know!"

"That's right! How could a child be the murderer of such a grown adult? Let our precious child out of here!"

The parents were in a frenzy and were about to rush into the school when suddenly the fire alarm sounded, and thick smoke billowed from the entrances of both buildings.

"Why is it on fire?"

The parents were startled by what they saw. Some of the more agile children simply jumped over the gate and rushed into the playground, and the security guards couldn't stop them!

The teachers immediately organized the children to evacuate and take refuge. Soon, all the students arrived at the playground. When the parents saw their children, they became even more excited. Some rushed into the school and even grabbed their children and ran out!

The school is now in a bit of a panic. Not only is it not yet dismissal time, but even if it were, parents would have to wait until the children leave the school gate before they could pick them up. They were dragged away by someone who barged in while they were still on the playground. Who knows if it was really a parent? If something happens, it will be hard to explain!

The school's loudspeaker immediately blared across the playground, and security guards tried their best to stop them. However, once someone takes the lead, countless others follow. With so many parents, it was impossible to stop them all. As the scene grew increasingly chaotic, some parents who had initially been willing to cooperate became restless, worried that something might happen to their children in the confusion. They too joined in the rush.

Luo Jun stood on the Teaching Building, looking down at the crowded and chaotic playground.

Not everyone has come out yet, but some are already running out. Let's do it now...

With that in mind, he activated his location capabilities, targeting the most valuable competitor within a one-kilometer radius!

A map of the surrounding one-kilometer area flashed in my mind, and finally a red dot lit up, merging with the campus in my field of vision...

Inside this Teaching Building right beneath my feet!

That red dot is between the Fourth Floor and third floors of the Teaching Building, and it's running down!

They must be evacuating with the crowd!

Luo Jun glanced at the Stairwell beside him; running down there probably wouldn't be enough time... He swung his fist and slammed it into the ground!

Boom! It pierced through the floor slab, reaching the fifth floor, then smashed through the floor slab again, reaching the Fourth Floor, then smashed through again to reach the third floor, landing right in the corridor.

Looking at the map again now, the red dot has already moved to the second and a half floor!

Turning my head to look at the stairwell, I could see groups of students running down the stairs.

Luo Jun rushed forward in one stride, and just then, the positioning effect disappeared!

Ten seconds is still too short... but that guy's approximate location shouldn't be wrong!

Luo Jun rushed to the stairwell and found a tall, strong male teacher standing on the landing halfway up the second floor, directing the students to evacuate.

"Is it him?!" Luo Jun frowned and shouted, "The Polluter!"

As he roared, Luo Jun also released his oppressive aura, adjusting the intensity to just enough to crush an ordinary person!

The students who were being evacuated all went limp at the sound of the roar. Only the teacher was not crushed by the intimidation. Instead, he turned to look at Luo Jun with anger in his eyes and adopted a fighting stance!

It's him!

Luo Jun stepped over the students who were staggering and rushed straight to the teacher, summoning the Dice of Heavenly Secrets in his mind!

"Kill the Polluter in one hit!"

"Ding! Event Difficulty: 12 points; Final Points: 98 + 5 points; event Great Success!"

Excellent! Luo Jun was now completely certain, and he unleashed a powerful punch!

The tall teacher raised his fists to block, but he was no match for Luo Jun's monstrous strength. His arms were broken and his chest was pierced by the punch. Luo Jun's punch was still powerful, and it even broke through the wall behind him, with the fist penetrating Teaching Building.

"Pfft..." The teacher spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering it all over Luo Jun. The other students screamed when they saw this.

"Who... are you...?" the teacher asked with his last breath.

"You don't need to know..." Luo Jun violently pulled his fist back, blood splattering out. The male teacher convulsed in pain and collapsed to the ground, but still had his last breath. "You too... won't live past today..." After saying this Curse, the light in his eyes completely disappeared. At the same time, the number of enemy troops decreased by one, and 430 points were credited to his account.

This guy's got some value, he's a real expert... but has he unlocked any abilities? Luo Jun couldn't figure it out...

He didn't see any external qi, and if it was just Inner Breath energy assisting, its presence or absence made no difference to Luo Jun...

And what was the meaning of this guy's last words? Was it just a simple Curse? What were the extra benefits of Great Success? Was it just that he died and that was it?

Luo Jun had many questions, but seeing the students around him terrified by the bloody scene, he sighed and suddenly roared, "What are you all watching? If you don't run, I'll kill you all too!"

The students were startled, then screamed and ran downstairs. Fortunately, there weren't many left, so there was no real danger.

Luo Jun emerged from the Teaching Building and saw Zhuge Lan.

"I see there's one less person on the other side. Is it done?" Zhuge Lan asked.

Luo Jun nodded, and the girl clapped her hands in delight. Just then, police sirens sounded outside. The two exchanged a glance and together slipped out of the campus.

"You're pretty skilled..."

The two arrived at a secluded alley. Zhuge Lan, catching her breath, looked at Luo Jun with surprise and admiration in her eyes. "I saw you break through the rooftop and into the Teaching Building! Even though you've unlocked the Foundation Establishment Realm, to be able to easily break through the floorboards and catch your opponent within ten seconds, you're quite skilled!"

In the eyes of ordinary Cultivators, the Protective Qi Strength in the Foundation Establishment Realm is limited. Once one cultivates to the Heart Refining Realm, not to mention Martial Combat Faction, even those from other schools will experience a significant improvement in their Qi. Therefore, even though Luo Jun has unlocked the Foundation Establishment Realm, his performance just now was quite remarkable, deserving the title of expert.

"It's alright..." Luo Jun wiped the blood off his face. This guy's blood was a bit sticky; he could wipe it off his skin, but it was really troublesome when it got on his clothes.

This is still a peaceful city, so it's a bit frightening to see someone walking around in Blood Clothes clothes.

"Didn't you use your protective qi when you attacked?" Zhuge Lan flicked the bloodstain from Luo Jun's sleeve, then looked around. "You wait here, don't wander off..."

After saying that, she ran out of the alley. Luo Jun didn't know what she was going to do, and he knew his appearance was frightening, so he didn't leave. Instead, he hid in the shadows and began to sort out the goods.

I had 290 points after killing those two people. I just used a single-player detection skill, which cost 10 points, to kill the male teacher, earning another 430 points. Now I have a total of 710 points...

Reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm isn't enough, but at least it unlocks the Hundred Treasure Box.

Luo Jun immediately spent 400 points to finally open the Hundred Treasure Box, but the treasures inside were still priced accordingly.

His first glance fell on Midnight Mask, only to find that unlocking it required 620 points, far from enough.

Looking at the other Noble Phantasms, the required points vary. Common-level Noble Phantasms mostly only require a few dozen points, while Fine-level ones generally require around one or two hundred points. Rare-level require between two and five hundred points depending on their effects, and Epic-level generally require more than five hundred points. As for Legendary-level Noble Phantasms, they all require four figures.

Luo Jun also glanced at the Breath of Divinity, the only Mythic-grade one, with an unlocking difficulty of a staggering 5,000 points!

From this perspective, unless there's an emergency, it's more worthwhile to save up and exchange for a high-level Noble Phantasm. After all, the power of an Epic-level Noble Phantasm is far greater than that of ten Common-level.

Just then, Zhuge Lan returned, carrying a paper bag, and handed it to Luo Jun: "Here, put this on."

"This is..." Luo Jun opened the bag and saw that it contained a set of sportswear.

"You can't keep walking around in this blood-stained clothes, can you?" Zhuge Lan laughed. "I didn't know your size, so I just guessed and bought it a little looser. Hurry up and change into it."

The error-free version can be read at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+shuba is the first site to publish this novel.

Luo Jun didn't mince words and immediately took off his blood-stained coat, revealing his well-built muscles. Zhuge Lan nodded in approval. "You couldn't tell when he was dressed, but he's quite well-endowed!"

Luo Jun thought to himself that it was fortunate he knew in advance that he might encounter Sealed Treasure Item, so he didn't wear his Limit but changed into ordinary shorts. Otherwise, if his underwear had been taken away, he would be living a carefree life now.

After getting dressed, Luo Jun looked at his sloping shoulders and the fact that he had rolled up his pants and sleeves three times over, and glanced at Zhuge Lan with a hint of helplessness. "Did you buy these 'slightly' looser ones?"

"Uh..." Zhuge Lan scratched her cheek awkwardly, "Doesn't this just show that you have a pretty high image in my heart?"

"Alright..." Luo Jun sighed, glancing at the darkening sky. "It's night. The mission will last three days; we need to find a place to stay..."

Zhuge Lan laughed and said, "Then why don't you come to my house!"

"Your home?" Luo Jun was taken aback. "You know what home is?"

All the contestants were replacements of people who originally lived in this city, so theoretically Luo Jun also had a home. But the problem is, he didn't inherit the original Xiao Wang's memories. He appeared at the company and had no idea where his home was!

"Could it be that you replaced an unemployed person?" Luo Jun looked at Zhuge Lan: "Did you arrive at home immediately?"

"Who said that?" Zhuge Lan retorted, "I brought along a career elite!" With that, she took out her phone and opened a food delivery app. "Doesn't this have commonly used addresses?"

Luo Jun blinked, then slapped his forehead. "How could I not have thought of that!" He then took out his phone and searched, and sure enough, there were two frequently used addresses. One was the Office Building where he worked, and the other was an apartment in the suburbs...

"This is my home?" Luo Jun copied the apartment address and opened a rental app to search. The rental and sales listings that popped up were all small apartments of about 30 square meters, some of which didn't even have a private bathroom...

It's far away and small; the conditions are even worse than the apartment he rented when he was in high school. He's truly a poor, working-class man.

"Your conditions aren't good enough..." Zhuge Lan leaned over for a look, then pouted and said, "Look at mine."

Luo Jun glanced at the address and saw that the other person lived in a large apartment in an upscale residential area in the city center, easily two or three hundred square meters according to a quick search. Moreover, the takeout orders they usually placed were mostly home-cooked meals and delicate pastries costing hundreds of yuan. Meanwhile, Luo Jun's Xiao Wang's orders consisted mainly of braised chicken and snail rice noodles, all purchased using various discount and coupon measures, and occasionally including cases of discounted instant noodles...

How come the character backgrounds are so realistic? Is this the difference between a poor boy and Miss Zhuge?

Luo Jun's place was far away and small, which was very inconvenient, so the two of them naturally went to Zhuge Lan's place instead. Not only was the transportation convenient, but at least they could have separate rooms when they rested.

From another perspective, the security guards in this residential community are quite responsible; in the early stages of this mission where most people haven't yet unlocked their abilities, they can at least be considered a layer of protection...

Judging from the location, it was only three subway stops away. The two entered the nearest subway station.

It was rush hour, and the subway station was packed with people. The two followed the crowd to buy tickets and enter the station, only to find that the previous train had just closed its doors and they had to wait for the next one in five minutes.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Jun glanced at the number of people on both sides.

The enemy has 44 men remaining, while our side has 45. Less than two hours have passed since the mission began; this is progressing faster than Luo Jun anticipated.

However, given the large number of people at the beginning, random scattering inevitably leads to encounters and battles. Furthermore, since they lack vitality and are relatively fragile, a faster death rate is normal. As the number of people decreases and abilities are unlocked, the rate of decline in the number of survivors should slow down.

Just then, Luo Jun suddenly noticed someone watching him!

Unlike usual, someone was scrutinizing him, their gaze fixed solely on him!

Luo Jun frowned slightly, casually glancing around. But when his gaze swept over the source of the stares, he became extremely alert!

It was a middle-aged woman wearing a trench coat. When Luo Jun's gaze swept over her, the woman clearly made a dodging motion, obviously, she was the owner of that gaze.

After identifying his target, Luo Jun pretended to be oblivious and continued chatting casually with Zhuge Lan, but in reality, his attention was already focused on the woman.

Sure enough, the woman began to move through the crowd, deliberately avoiding his gaze... However, Luo Jun didn't just observe her with his eyes; his ears were equally sharp!

The footsteps were very light, but the gait was clearly not that of an ordinary person... I couldn't detect any internal energy, so they probably hadn't unlocked the Foundation Establishment Realm yet. The sound of hands rubbing against clothing suggested they were picking up something—a weapon?

Finally, the woman crept up to a few meters behind Luo Jun, suddenly pulled a pistol from her trench coat, and pointed it at Luo Jun!

Brush!

With a whooshing sound, the woman stopped moving, remaining in the gun-raising position.

Those around were surprised by what they saw, but considering the peaceful nature of the city, they guessed the gun was probably a toy and the woman was likely doing performance art.

Just then, the subway arrived at the station, and everyone rushed into the carriage. Luo Jun and Zhuge Lan also squeezed in with the flow of people.

Everyone deliberately avoided the woman, and she remained standing there until the group had entered the subway.

Just then, a cleaning lady came up and curiously patted the woman on the shoulder. "Young lady, what's going on here...?"

But this slap had a serious effect; the woman's head rolled off her body!

"Aaaaaah!" the cleaning lady screamed, completely unaware that a transparent tempered glass screen protector for her phone was embedded in a pillar several meters behind the woman...
