Mission in Progress
"400 experience points?" Jiang Ye's eyes lit up.
If the maximum experience for Second-Tier Reserve Star Professional Position was 1,000, he estimated he'd reach it soon.
However, what truly caught his attention on the projection wasn't just the rank experience.
"I've already earned 250,000," Jiang Ye thought with satisfaction.
The money he earned himself felt far more rewarding than any gift.
Moreover, this was only the first day.
If he maintained this killing pace in the coming days, reaching a million in earnings seemed within reach!
"Time," Jiang Ye glanced at his watch.
It was already 7 PM.
"I should head back for dinner."
He had promised his parents and Jiang Ting he would return tonight. Staying out too late would worry them.
"Everyone, I'll take my leave first," Jiang Ye said, nodding to Su Tong'er, Lin Qingwei, and the others before darting back the way he came.
"That guy... Hmph!" Su Tong'er stomped her white-stockinged foot in frustration, watching his retreating figure.
"You know him too?" Lin Qingwei asked, turning to Su Tong'er.
During the earlier battle, Lin Qingwei had witnessed Su Tong'er's strength, realizing her skill was on par with her own.
"I don't know him!" Su Tong'er retorted, her cute face hardening. "He's just a jerk."
Lin Qingwei chuckled, covering her mouth. "But outside the gate earlier, you seemed quite worried?"
Breaking through the iron gate had taken them considerable time. As the sounds of fierce fighting echoed from within, Lin Qingwei had noticed a distinct flicker of concern on Su Tong'er's face.
"Who was worried?" Su Tong'er snapped, flustered and indignant. "I just wanted to stomp on him!"
Seeing Su Tong'er's anger, Yun Qing'er, standing beside her, quickly whispered, "Sister Tong'er, don't be mad. If you really want to stomp on someone, you can stomp on me instead."
"..."
Lin Qingwei, Xu Haoran, and the others exchanged strange glances at the two girls before silently backing away.
These two seem a bit off. Better leave while I can!
Jiang Ye was naturally unaware of the underground ruins.
After returning home, he reassured his parents of his safety and had dinner with them.
Then, without a moment's hesitation, he rushed downstairs to resume his killing spree.
As more and more Reserve Star Professional Cadre members poured into Ancheng, it was only a matter of days before the entire city would be purged of Shadow Clan.
Jiang Ye had to seize these crucial days to eliminate as many Shadow Clan members as possible.
"My goal: one million federal currency!" Jiang Ye's eyes burned with determination.
In a month, he would be heading to the distant Eastern Ten Provinces.
Without connections or resources, how could he stand out on that dazzling stage?
He needed to accumulate enough wealth!
And now was the perfect opportunity.
"Kill!" Jiang Ye's murderous aura surged as he darted through the city streets like a phantom.
Whether for financial gain or the future safety of his family, he had to slaughter every Shadow Clan he could find!
Over the next few days, Jiang Ye spent nearly all his time hunting, only occasionally retreating to the Martial Dao Heavenly Ladder to recuperate.
The battle raged on, relentless and unending.
Time flowed.
Five days later.
In an abandoned mine on the outskirts of the city.
Whoosh!
A figure flashed past like silver lightning, radiating a terrifying Martial Dao Aura.
It charged straight toward a six-meter-tall Shadow Clan Juvenile.
The size difference between the two figures was staggering.
Yet, if a strong cultivator at or above the second breakthrough were present, they would be astonished to discover that the seemingly diminutive human figure completely dominated its opponent in terms of qi prowess.
The Shadow Clan Juvenile's six-meter-tall frame possessed a qi prowess as feeble as an infant's, instantly crushed by the human's overwhelming force.
Boom!
A starlight blade flashed, piercing through the Shadow Clan's chest.
Silence descended upon the desolate landscape.
Thud! The Shadow Clan Juvenile slowly collapsed to the ground, its form rapidly dissolving.
Jiang Ye landed steadily, his gaze fixed on the dissolving corpse before him.
"This should be the last one in this area," Jiang Ye muttered, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
After five days of intensive sweeps, Ancheng had been thoroughly cleansed, both within and outside its walls.
Inside the city, apart from the permanent Cosmic Void Passage, virtually no Shadow Clan presence remained. Even the suburbs had been completely cleared.
By today, Jiang Ye had to spend several minutes searching to find a single Shadow Clan member.
"Continuing the search would be a waste of time," he thought to himself. After all, he still needed to focus on his cultivation.
Beep! He activated the wristband projection.

Reward: 1,648,800 Credits
Killed 19 members of the Hidden God Organization, Reserve Star Rank Experience +400
You have met the basic mission requirements and may end the mission at any time.
"1.64 million federal currency," Jiang Ye said, a faint smile spreading across his face.
His earnings from the past five days far exceeded his initial goals.
At first, Jiang Ye had only aimed for a few hundred thousand, later raising his target to one million.
But now? In just five days, he had amassed 1.64 million.
In his previous life, this would have been considered an overnight fortune.
"This money," Jiang Ye thought, his heart filled with anticipation, "will allow me to make a significant leap in progress."
Before Penglai University's entrance exam, the Heaven-Piercing Refinement, he could still achieve a breakthrough!
"End mission," Jiang Ye tapped the screen on his projection.
Confirm ending the 'Reinforce Ancheng' mission?
"Yes!"
Mission ended. The system is calculating your rewards. Please wait patiently for Instructor Tang's response.
"Instructor Tang?" Jiang Ye recalled a fiery figure.
He didn't linger.
With a swift movement, he soared toward home.
Taoyang Community.
Building 12, Apartment 606.
"Brother!"
Jiang Ting rushed forward, her face lighting up with joy. "Why are you back so early today?"
"Don't you want me here?" Jiang Ye teased with a smile.
"How could I not? I missed you so much!" Jiang Ting clung to his waist, her expression aggrieved.
Jiang Ye gently rubbed the girl's delicate cheek. "The mission's over. I won't be going out again for a while."
"Really?!" Jiang Ting's face lit up with joy.
"Really," Jiang Ye nodded with a smile.
At the same time, his heart felt a mix of emotions.
The little girl clearly adored him, yet the time he could spend with her was dwindling.
In just a month, he would be heading to the Eastern Ten Provinces, further reducing their chances of seeing each other.
From today on, I'll make sure to spend more time with her and our parents, Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.
An hour later, Jiang Ye emerged from Jiang Ting's room.
This little girl is almost fourteen, and she still doesn't bother covering up. She really doesn't see me as an outsider, Jiang Ye thought, shaking his head at the memory of what had just happened.
Jiang Ting was a late bloomer.
Girls her age were already going through puberty, but she still seemed completely clueless about such matters.
Jiang Ye resolved to find an opportunity to educate her about these things in the future.
Back in his room, Jiang Ye called Zhang Jianwu to let him know he was safe, then quickly hung up.
He immediately called Chen Zilu next.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ye finally sat down cross-legged, ready to begin his evening cultivation session.
Suddenly, his wristband vibrated.
Jiang Ye activated the wristband's projection, his eyes lighting up. "Instructor Tang? Finally, a message!"
