I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Panda Novel

The strongest beings in Shanghai were humans. Beasts who were reckless died as soon as they entered the city. Beasts who were good at hiding were hiding and barely surviving. After China issued the missions, even more civilian martial artists were looking for beasts everywhere.

Therefore, Lin Yao did not even need to do anything after locating the beasts. There were many people after their lives.

Of course, Lin Yao did not waste his effort, as he knew that he could not kill all of them in a short time.

‘Fortunately, there is a recording device. If we cooperate to kill the beasts, the authorities will decide on the individual rewards. If anyone disagrees, they can file a report according to the procedure. The points awarded for finding beasts that are good at hiding are similar to the points one earns for killing them.’

While thinking about this, Lin Yao did not even look at the beast that was being hunted down. He contacted Qin Ya through the headset, ready to go somewhere else to continue searching for beasts.

‘Compared to killing them, it is quicker to gain points by searching for them. However, one must have the best searching ability possible. Very few points are awarded for beasts that can be easily found.’

Before he flew far away, a voice rang in Lin Yao’s ears. “Lin Yao, wait a moment. The beast that you found is not the target of this mission.”

‘Not again?’

Lin Yao was about to fly off but halted upon hearing this information. He then began searching the surrounding area again.

Based on his familiar movements, one could tell that Lin Yao often found the wrong beasts.

It could not be helped. He did not zoom in on the specific monsters, but on monsters that harbored malice for humans. Hence, he would naturally make mistakes.

In addition, the beasts would keep moving about. The area designated by the Adventurers Association was merely the area where the beasts might move about. This was roughly accurate, but there were also beasts that would move to other areas or beasts that entered this area.

In fact, when Lin Yao was on the way to other areas, he would sometimes find beasts that were not among Shanghai’s issued missions.

Right now, Lin Yao was sighing, as he had found the wrong beast. However, he was not that disappointed. As long as it was a monster hidden in the city, he would get points when he found it. At most, he would not complete the mission and would be awarded fewer points.

Soon, he received a piece of news that made him jump up in joy. “Ah Yao, it’s good that you were wrong. It’s a black swamp-serpent. It can hide in the water and it has a strong toxin. If it contaminates the water source, there may be tens of thousands of deaths. The country has offered a reward of up to 50,000 points and 25,000 points for finding it.”

“I got lucky this time.”

In fact, the value of normal gold beasts was not so high, as most of them were worth about 10,000 to 20,000 points. However, the beasts that were good at hiding were a bigger threat to humans, so the country would offer a higher award. Besides, since the most challenging part was locating them, Lin Yao, who found them, was able to receive many points in one go.

While speaking, Lin Yao flew around this area again and soon found the beast that had been hiding nearby.

The beast was very vengeful, or perhaps it knew that it could not escape, as it rushed toward Lin Yao, wanting to die with him.

Lin Yao, who was hiding in the Golden Warlion, was indifferent to its attack.

That beast was indeed capable, but it was mostly good at hiding. It was not able to fight head-on against the Golden Warlion.

Besides, while Lin Yao was searching, other gold warlords had discovered what he was doing and followed him around. When the beast rushed forward, they would naturally deal with it.

‘Stupid fellow.’

Lin Yao shook his head and flew toward the distance. On the other side, most of the gold warlords who had killed the black swamp-serpent had not left but were following Lin Yao closely.

Beasts were hard to find, but they could easily find one if they followed Lin Yao.

Even if they could not kill the beasts, they would still be rewarded for participating in killing the beasts.

Thus, with a bunch of gold warlords behind him, Lin Yao quickly flew around Shanghai, searching for monsters that exuded malice for humans.

It was a pity that Lin Yao was not the only talented person who was good at searching. It was around eight o’clock at night, and the beasts hidden in Shanghai that could be easily found by Lin Yao were already killed.

“Ah Yao, all the hidden silver and gold beasts have been located. You should come back and get some rest first.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yao really needed to take a break. The Good and Evil Distinguishment was a passive ability that would not consume his energy. However, the Electromagnetic Induction was too powerful for Lin Yao, and his mental strength was also under huge pressure.

He returned safely. However, all the powerhouses were a little bit reluctant to see him leaving, and many people invited Lin Yao to form a team with them. However, he rejected all of them.

He returned to the dormitory of the University of Monster Science and Technology. Once he entered the room, two identical figures jumped into his arms.

“Ah Yao, you are back. We really missed you.”

“We have earned 90,000 points! A total of 90,000 points!”

“There are also 90,000 merit points.”

The girls in the room were ecstatic due to the large amount of points and merit points. They knew that these points could save lives in this dangerous era.

Lin Yao was a little surprised by the big number of points, but he found it normal after some thought.

For each hidden silver beast, he would be awarded 3,000 points. As for a gold beast, even if he did not kill it, he would get nearly 10,000 points simply for finding it.

Although he had not spent the entire afternoon searching for the beasts, he was very fast at searching, so he had still earned a lot of points.

Of course, he was the only one who could earn so many points within such a short time.

As the beasts were good at hiding, given the strength of ordinary teams, they first needed to explore the place where the beast had appeared, look for clues, and then search slowly. Thus, it was very likely that they would not find anything for a week.

Besides, when one searched for beasts, the roles of hunter and prey were often interchangeable. It was very common to be attacked and killed by the beasts while searching for them.

One had to spend more than a week risking one’s life and one might not even find the beast. If one looked at it this way, 3,000 points was not considered a lot.

What those beasts did not expect was that Lin Yao’s Good and Evil Distinguishment ability would be very powerful. This talent had been obtained from the Tree of Heaven Punishment, and the tree had been transformed from a world’s thunder tribulation system. According to a saying, there was no way to deceive the sky. There was no way the beasts could hide the malice they harbored from Lin Yao.

‘90,000 points and 90,000 merit points. That will be a total of 180,000 points. I will have enough places in the safety zone for my family. However, the safety zone alone is not enough. It would be better to bring them to Shanghai.’

As this thought formed in his mind, Lin Yao frowned.

It would be very troublesome to bring them over. The cost of escorting them in this chaotic world aside, even after they arrived, it would be hard to arrange a place for them.

‘Forget it. I will rest first and think about it when I wake up.’

Lin Yao waved at the twins and returned to his room, falling into a deep sleep. He was not in the mood for the twin sisters to attend to him.

Seeing Lin Yao’s tired expression, the girls looked at each other and seemed more relaxed. Then, their mood lightened as well.

They did not idle around. Instead, they searched through the Internet for various information. Qin Ya also led the girls into searching for missions in the cities near Shanghai.

Unlike Lin Yao’s peaceful world, all the humans on the Blue Planet lived in cities. Although there were breeding techniques in the city, Shanghai was too large and important. Regardless of whether it was for supplies or defending Shanghai, the country had established many satellite cities around Shanghai.

Now that all the search missions in Shanghai had been completed, Qin Ya focused on those satellite cities.

“Calculate the route and the main points of the mission. This will be Mr. Lin Yao’s mission tomorrow. There must be no hitches…”

Ring!

Qin Ya was still giving instructions to them when the phone rang. After connecting the call, Qin Ya realized that the martial artists under her care, mainly Jin Cheng and a few other martial artists, were on the line.

These young people reported, giving Qin Ya some good news.

“Sister Qin, we succeeded. I killed the last beast and earned 4,000 points.”

“Did you kill it? It’s Sister Qin who gave us good instructions.”

“Yes. Sister Qin, thank you for the instructions.”

They were cheering and they wanted to give Qin Ya the points and credit for completing the mission.

To be honest, the four of them were actually doing a good job. They were not super-geniuses, so they only had very little talent. However, when many of the warlords did not dare go out and went after the missions in the city, they completed a task despite the fierce competition. They were already better than 90% of their peers.

Unfortunately, the comparison was odious.
