Rewards for Hunting Gods

"A good person? Qin, are you telling me a joke? How is a good person worth all that effort? The most useless thing in this world is a good person!"

"Section Chief Qian, different people have different views on that. Working together on a few things doesn't mean we have to agree on everything, does it?"

"All right, my mistake. Still, hunting Gods now would be good for you, too."

"How so?"

"You haven't taken the Sequence Ability User Assessment held after the Gaokao yet, have you?"

"No, I haven't."

"Then you can use the points you earn from hunting Gods to attract more universities' attention during the assessment and get more admission offers. Even after enrolling, students with plenty of God-hunting points receive all sorts of benefits."

"These are mandatory United Government policies. You can look them up on the [Sequence Education] forum."

"That's an option? All right, I understand. I'll look into it. Thank you for your help, Section Chief Qian."

"Sure. It's nothing."

Qian Wendao tossed his phone onto the desk, muttering over Qin Siyang's words.

"Saving a good person, huh? A good person... I really haven't heard that term in years. Makes me a little sad. Ah, who's born wanting to be a bad person?"

Just then, Qian Wendao's phone rang again.

"Hello, Tang, what is it? Oh, the people who caused trouble in front of the Bureau Chief that day were ordinary people? Then what's there to hesitate over? Just kill them all. Right, that's all for now."

After hanging up, Qian Wendao gave another self-mocking smile. "A good person? I'm afraid I'll never be one."

After hanging up, Qin Siyang decided to visit the Internet Cafe after school and browse the forums...

Wait, wasn't there a computer in the Principal's Office?

Right, there should be. The Principal was a public employee, after all. How could he receive United Government documents without a computer?

As for the advantage of being able to hide his location with the computer in Wang Defa's warehouse, that had diminished considerably once he revealed his Sequence Ability and registered as a Sequence Ability User.

He had already revealed his identity. There was no need to sneak around anymore when visiting the [Godslayer Camp] and [Sequence Education] forums.

In that case, why not stop by the Principal's Office?

Hadn't the Principal invited him over that very morning?

Qin Siyang headed toward the Principal's Office with a spring in his step.

The Principal had just returned from the infirmary and was wiping the sweat from his shiny scalp with a towel.

"Ah, what a hassle. I don't even know how Liu Qiangzhong offended him. Took a hit for nothing. That Qin Siyang just awakened his Sequence Ability, and he's got a bit of a temper. I mustn't provoke him."

"He even beat up his homeroom teacher again just to get Zhang the Director of Moral Education position... Honestly, I give up. I'd better arrange for Zhang to take the position next week."

"After what happened today, I don't even want to hope that befriending Qin Siyang will help clear me of blame. I just want to get him through graduation without any trouble. I really can't afford to get mixed up with him."

"Principal Li, I'm here."

Qin Siyang called out a greeting and pushed the office door open.

Despair flickered in the Principal's eyes before he immediately put on his trademark smile. "Oh, Qin! What brings you here?"

"Right, about Auntie Zhang..."

"I'm already working on it! Tomorrow-no, today. It'll be settled today!"

"Thank you, Principal. Actually, I came today because there's something else I'd like your help with."

"Go ahead. If I can help, I will."

"I'm supposed to take the Sequence Ability User Assessment after the Gaokao, but I still don't know anything about it. You know my family isn't well-off. I don't have money to go to the Internet Cafe. So I'd like to borrow the desktop computer in your office. Would that be all right?"

"Ah..." Principal Li froze, unsure how to answer.

But Qin Siyang sat down beside Principal Li without standing on ceremony.

"Qin, you..."

"Principal Li, our school's moral education has been lacking for years, which has left me with a bit of a temper. You wouldn't want me causing more trouble before graduation, would you?"

Qin Siyang was a Sequence Ability User. Even if he killed a teacher, he wouldn't be held criminally responsible.

But as Principal, Li Tianming would be held accountable by the United Government for school safety issues.

For the first time ever, the school had produced a Sequence Ability User. Li Tianming had thought his luck was finally turning around. He hadn't expected a living lord of death in this merciless apocalypse.

Li Tianming wanted to say something, but looking at Qin Siyang's rather lawless demeanor, he swallowed his words.

"Go ahead, but you can only browse the internet. Nothing else."

"Okay!"

Qin Siyang deftly opened the [Sequence Education] forum and searched for information about the Sequence Ability User Assessment associated with the Gaokao.

Li Tianming sighed. Unwilling to spare Qin Siyang another glance, he left the Principal's Office to find somewhere quiet to rest.

Qin Siyang opened a featured post:

[Guide to the Gaokao Assessment for Sequence Ability Users]

"Sequence Ability Users do not need to take the Gaokao. They have a separate assessment process."

"The assessment assigns a score based on a comprehensive evaluation of the Sequence Ability User's Sequence Ability, performance during the assessment, and future potential."

"After receiving their score, students log in to the [Sequence University Application Portal] and submit their score and personal history to apply to universities. Universities that accept them will send them admission letters."

"Generally speaking, Sequences are scored in the following order, from lowest to highest: useless Sequences (such as [Soft Body]), common Sequences (such as [Sleepless]), law enforcement Sequences (such as [Scent Seeker] and [Undying]), combat Sequences (such as [Warrior] and [Phantom Assassin]), and special Sequences (extremely rare Sequences with unique skills, such as [Mimicry])."

Qin Siyang carefully examined the five Sequence tiers and discovered that Qian Wendao's [Mimicry] was actually a special Sequence, the highest tier. His opinion of Section Chief Qian rose yet again.

"Section Chief Qian really gets more surprising the more I learn about him."

Qin Siyang sighed with genuine admiration. Sure enough, in both his previous life and this one, nobody who rose to an official position in an important department was simple.

He continued reading the post:

"One special circumstance allows students to bypass the assessment: having a record of hunting Gods. Points earned from hunting Gods can replace an assessment score and be submitted along with the student's personal history when applying to universities."

"The Education Department maintains files on all students who have awakened Sequence Abilities. Whenever a student earns God-Hunting Points, the database is updated. Admissions officers from every university can access this database. Generally, once a student's God-Hunting Points exceed a certain threshold, universities will contact them directly and offer terms for admission."

That was an option too?!

Thinking of the extraordinary combat abilities his [God Eater] Sequence granted him, Qin Siyang immediately felt his blood surge with excitement.

Didn't that mean he had a chance of getting into the best university?!
