Chapter 287: A Lot of Merits!

“This… What on earth?”

“F*ck. Everything’s happening too fast. I can’t seem to react quickly enough!”

“One, two, three… Only 11 are left. Does this mean I’m now qualified to take part in the next hidden profession examination?”

Some of the remaining players looked outright confused while others looked delighted.

Especially those who had originally been out of the top 15. They had initially thought that they had utterly lost the chance to obtain qualifications for the hidden profession, and they would never have imagined such a drastic plot twist awaited them at the end. At least seven players had been disqualified and kicked out.

Now, there weren’t even 15 left inside the virtual room, so even the person ranked in last place would be qualified for the next profession change mission!

Compared to them, Big Pineapple, who initially did not seem to care, stared dumbfoundedly into space for a few seconds, and said suddenly, “F*ck. This means I’m qualified for the profession change?”

He had been prepared to fail. He would never have imagined that, after the points increase for the mission, he would really make it into the top five. Then, before he could rejoice, he would be pushed out of the top five by the Scout and Phoenix! Following that, when he thought that he had utterly lost his chance, the second-ranked player was, amazingly, disqualified by the NPCs, and he had gone from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, thus being qualified for the profession change again!

These announcements were just a bunch of twists and turns that made him feel as if he was riding a roller coaster!

After all, though he said that he had accepted the results and was at ease, everyone wanted to be able to change into a hidden profession, especially when the hidden profession was the Special Agent profession that was clearly a high-potential profession!

“My luck is really good after all!” Big Pineapple remembered the fact that he only triggered the hidden mission because he wanted to visit the red light district, and now, in a situation where it had seemed like he had no chance, he had made another comeback. He couldn’t reel in his delight.

“Strength and whatnot, they’re really not as useful as luck after all!”

At that moment, Feng Luo looked like he was pondering some philosophical questions.

The words of the NPC were clearly a warning to the players.

Was the warning something created by the game’s intelligent program…? Or was it the game’s senior management sending a message through the NPCs?

Though the question might not seem to be important, Feng Luo could feel that it might be related to the secret of the game that he was looking for…

“For the remaining players, you’re all talented individuals who have passed this examination. So, first, I would like to congratulate the examinees ranked between six and 11. You’ve qualified for the next examination.

“Someone will inform you when the next examination occurs. There’s nothing else today, so you may leave now!”

As he said that, he waved his hand, and six players surrounding the table vanished.

And then, there were five!

They were Feng Luo, Big Pineapple, Phoenix, Scout, and Number 187!

Number 187!

Feng Luo looked across the now-empty table. Not far away from Phoenix was a young female player wearing casual clothes.

He could not deny the fact that he was curious!

It was because Number 187 had been the young female player disguised as a high school student who chose to back out of the “Big Escape” mission in Haruko’s room.

Generally speaking, giving up on the hidden mission and choosing to remain in Dongsang City was not a wise decision.

One could easily tell from the fact that the worst performing player, Big Pineapple, had been able to gain over 600 points (from the two competitor kills and examination reward) as well as gears worth more than ten million credits from the Big Escape mission.

However, the young female player had stayed behind to complete normal missions in Dongsang City, and it also seemed like she did not excel in combat. Yet she had somehow managed to qualify for the profession change in the end!

Over those two days, she somehow managed to increase her points by more than 700.

Apart from Number 302 (Young Master Xiao) and Number 172 (Young Master Gou), that was definitely the highest point gain!

Moreover, there was no “cheating” involved.

Clearly, that meant that she was not normal.

Moreover, there was another point that Feng Luo remembered. He felt a vague sense of familiarity coming from the gaze of the player who was disguised as a high school student.

And, by using the previous Number 37 as an example, he was certain that the sense of familiarity wasn’t an illusion.

So it was highly likely that he had met the Number 187 player before!

The only thing was that everyone’s face had been blurred, so he couldn’t really see it clearly.

“So, the five of you seated here. First, I would like to congratulate all of you for successfully becoming Federation Special Agents!”

The Asian NPC major general was suddenly full of smiles as he spoke to the five players.

[You’ve completed the hidden profession “Special Agent” profession change mission. Obtained Experience: 50,000. Obtained Merit Points: 500]

[Congratulations. You’ve leveled up to Level 46]

A system notification rang in Feng Luo’s ears. At the same time, a white light flashed across his body!

Fifty thousand experience points allowed his experience to reach 12% at Level 46 instantly. A white light also flashed across the young female player.

As for Big Pineapple and the other three, they were already maxed at Level 50, so the experience did not really do anything for them.

But the 500 Merit Points reward definitely surprised them. One should know that the previous Resident Evil mission that Feng Luo completed only rewarded him with 150 Merit points!

If one were to exchange them for military ranks, it was enough to move from a First-class Soldier rank all the way to one rank below a sergeant!

“Your instructors probably already informed you that, for this selection, all three sides have agreed that this first batch of special agents will join the Federal Bureau of Investigations!’

The NPC couldn’t see the level up light of the players, so the Federation’s major general was, naturally, continuing to speak with a smile.

“I am the deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, or FBI, Rhodes. Welcome!”

Clap, clap…

Generally speaking, when a high ranking officer like that introduced himself and gave out his identity, one should show respect and clap a bit.

The only thing was that among the five, only Big Pineapple, who was excited because he had unexpectedly succeeded in changing his profession, clapped to show his excitement. The other four didn’t show any reaction.

Feng Luo and Number 187 seemed to be thinking about something while the Scout and Phoenix were expressionless.

However, it was a game, after all. So, the NPCs did not really need the adventurers’ responses. As such, the NPC major general did not look unhappy and simply continued to speak. “Apart from that, I am also here to notify you of an appointment.”

“Due to Lieutenant Colonel Sakura’s amazing display in this mission, the higher-ups have decided to appoint her as the Chief of the Adventurer Special Agent Division, and to promote her military rank by one.”

“Which is to say that Colonel Sakura will be your direct superior from now on. And as for anything concerning you, it will all be handled by her.”

The NPC major general signaled Haruko, who stood up beside him.

“I still have some matters to attend to. Please excuse me!”

Then, he turned into white light before vanishing from within the virtual room.
