In just one month, his cultivation level rose to Platinum Eighth Grade, but unfortunately, he was still some distance from Platinum Ninth Grade.
"Now that I've spent all my gold coins and have no military merits, I have no way to buy cultivation resources."
In this Heavenly Vault Pass, he had no background and couldn't possibly run to the treasure vault to take resources just because he lacked them.
"The most important thing next is to earn some military merits, so that we can continue to buy cultivation resources."
"And there's only one way to earn military merits: complete the missions in the Mission Hall."
"Either go out and hunt the Sin Beast, or do some logistical tasks."
Thinking this, Lin An stood up, and at the same time, the Spirit Mark within his body moved, directly transforming into Aura Concealment Formation, and his cultivation level also changed to Platinum Second Grade.
With his current mastery of formations, unless an Epic Tier expert deliberately checks him, no expert below the Epic Tier can see through his cultivation level.
After all, he was only Platinum First Grade a month ago, and he's already Platinum Eighth Grade in just one month, so he still needs to keep a low profile.
After tidying up, Lin An opened the door, then paused as He Changshan and the other two happened to pass by his door.
Moreover, judging from the appearance of the three, they had obviously just gone through a battle, and all of them had some injuries.
The three of them showed a hint of surprise when they saw Lin An, but then nodded as a greeting.
Lin An nodded in return, and neither of them said anything. Lin An then closed the door and headed towards the mission hall.
"I thought this guy was going to stay inside forever, but I didn't expect him to come out today," He Changshan said, watching Lin An's departing figure.
The three of them had been working on missions together for the past month. They had previously considered recruiting Lin An, but he had refused.
Later, they inquired and learned that Lin An had rarely gone out during this period, as if he had no intention of doing any missions at all, which put them at a loss.
Surprisingly, I saw them leave the house today.
"His cultivation has broken through to the Platinum Second Grade. Judging from the direction he went, he should be heading towards the Mission Hall. He probably wants to do a mission," Shang Minghai said.
"He's not planning to do the mission alone, is he? The Sin Beast in the Sin Abyss are on a completely different level from the Sin Beast outside," Zhuang Qing'er said, frowning.
The three of them initially tried to complete the task alone, but reality taught them a lesson.
Even though their target was only Platinum First Grade Sin Beast, they barely managed to kill it with all their might, and were even injured in the end.
After that, they dared not act as lone wolves anymore, but instead teamed up to complete missions, though they still occasionally got injured.
"After all, we are all exceptional talents," He Changshan said with a smile.
These words weren't just mocking Lin An; they were also a mockery of themselves and the others.
After all, they were just like Lin An at the beginning, thinking they were geniuses and that killing enemies of higher levels would be a piece of cake.
They only came to reality when they were almost killed in a counterattack.
"Once he gets his comeuppance, he'll probably come looking for us. With one more person, our mission will be easier."
He Changshan, "Let's go back and heal our wounds first."
Shang Minghai and Zhuang Qing'er nodded and returned to their respective rooms to begin treating their injuries.
Meanwhile, Lin An also arrived at the mission hall, his gaze fixed on the missions displayed on the light screens.
[Hunting Mission]: A long-term mission to hunt down Sin Beast. Depending on the level of the Sin Beast hunted, you can earn corresponding military merits.
[Scout Mission]: A long-term mission. Go outside Heavenly Vault Pass to investigate the surrounding Sin Beast. You can earn military merits based on the intelligence you provide.
[Patrol Mission]: Long-term mission. Join a temporary patrol team to patrol Heavenly Vault Pass. You can earn 1 military merit point per day. If you make merits during the mission, you will be awarded additional military merit points.
[Rescue Mission]: Long-term mission. Join a rescue team and go to the border to rescue others. You can get 10 military merits per day. If you gain anything else along the way, you will get additional military merits.
All four types of missions are long-term missions, especially the first one. Although it is the most dangerous, as long as you are strong enough, you can quickly accumulate military merits.
The second type of scout mission is more luck-based; they might spend several days exploring outside the Great Wall and still not be able to provide any useful intelligence.
The third type is the most stable mission, safe but with few military achievements.
The fourth type is also dangerous, but rescue missions are always led by strong individuals; otherwise, encountering danger would not be a rescue mission, but rather a suicide mission.
Then Lin An looked at the logistics tasks.
The logistical tasks were varied, including repairing formations, refining pills, and making talismans.
There are even some bounty missions, such as those that require certain materials or that require adding Spirit Mark to one's weapons and armor.
Lin An was pondering what mission to accept when two figures suddenly appeared beside him.
"Brother Lin, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing the voice, Lin An looked over and saw that it was Zhou Ping, with Han Qi beside him.
"It has indeed been a while since we last met. Did you just return from a mission?" Lin An looked at the two of them, who appeared somewhat disheveled, clearly having just gone through a battle.
"Yes, we just came back from beyond the Great Wall. The Sin Beast in this Sin Abyss are really tough to deal with. It's hard for us to win against them if we're at the same level," Zhou Ping said helplessly.
The Sin Beast Sin Abyss are at least several times stronger than Sin Beast Guangwu City. They suffered a loss the first time, but fortunately, they were traveling in a team, so they were not in any danger.
"But this shouldn't be a big deal for Brother Lin."
Zhou Ping smiled and said, "Although the Sin Beast of the Sin Abyss are very strong, they cannot be as powerful as Lin An, who can slaughter 100,000 Sin Beast by himself."
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin An's eyes. Judging from the other party's words, it seemed that the Sin Beast of the Sin Abyss were all quite extraordinary.
"I haven't done any missions yet. I've been cultivating for the past month, and I only decided to take on some missions today."
Lin An said, "There are just too many tasks, and I don't know which one to choose for the time being."
This surprised Zhou Ping and Han Qi. They hadn't seen Lin An for a month and assumed he was busy with a mission, but it turned out he hadn't even started yet.
"Brother Lin, what type of mission are you planning to take on?" Zhou Ping asked.
