Chapter 304: Mission: Part 2
Auldmandiller smiled and nodded at Lin Sheng . He had used his connection, through his old friends, to secure this credit mission for him .
The patrol mission was not a one-off expedition but containing a series of operations . As long as Lin Sheng successfully completed this one, there would be more such credit missions awaited him . And if he wanted, he could get 100 credits . This was the benefit of the special mission .
After the three selected their missions, they stood back behind their respective professors, and then only came the turn of the rest of the students . The process was just the same as before . After the students selected the missions, Vice-Chancellor Suna declared the meeting as over .
Auldmandiller had a few words with others and introduced Lin Sheng to an old professor whom he knew well . After a few moments of pleasantry, Auldmandiller brought Lin Sheng out of the hall and walked out of the university .
“Did you notice the other two earlier?” Auldmandiller asked with a smile .
“What’s wrong, professor?” Lin Sheng responded, knowing that Auldmandiller had something to say .
“Fanny and Elind are the only best disciples in the two workshops . Since they were selected to enjoy this privilege, it means that they are the most favored students,” explained Auldmandiller . “But in Baine, the ones who are really going places are Isabel Cador, the Blue Thunder Shadow and Carlis the Mermaid . Besides, the current president of the Darkheart Society, the little guy named Gail, is good . Together, they have occupied the top three spots in the two leaderboards . ”
“Err… I haven’t read the rankings…” Lin Sheng confessed . “I’ve been busy with other things recently, and you know that I’m not interested in this thing . ”

“I agree . The rewards of the rankings are nothing . It’s for publicity and a stepping stone to enter the Moon Basin . But I’m sure you can make it to the Moon Basin even without the rankings . That’s okay . ” Auldmandiller could not help but smile like a Cheshire cat . He was very pleased that Lin Sheng had achieved over 500 units of dark energy in his first awakening .
“But I heard that if a person joins some student societies, one can get preferential treatment in choosing a workshop? Is this true, professor?”
“Some workshops work this way . It’s like preselection, but it’s something that the elite disciples have come up with in the workshop . ” Auldmandiller waved a dismissing hand . “You shouldn’t take part in that . It’s meaningless . It’s never too late to build your influence after you enter the Moon Basin . I’ve confidence in you . ”
“Speaking of which, is Isabel Cador the elder sister of Mylissa?” Lin Sheng remembered that Mylissa’s last name was also Cador . And to be honest, of all the students in the Soul Fortress, Mylissa was the only person whom Lin Sheng could remember her full name .
“That’s her . Isabel is from the Crystal Wand workshop . She is good and strong . But she has a bit of a problem with some student organizations . It’s just some petty issue, anyway . ” Auldmandiller smiled . “In fact, the strongest student, whom I find worth the while, is Carlis the Mermaid . She is the current president of the student council of Baine University . I expect that she will stay on and teach on campus after graduation . You might want to befriend her . ”
“Understood . ” Lin Sheng nodded . “How strong is Carlis?”
“I don’t know, but it appears that she is an apex Three-winger with a performance index of 19,000 . However, that is all she has revealed . Lin Sheng, remember not to show your last card in any situation,” Auldmandiller reminded . “This will mislead your enemy to miscalculate your strength and underestimate you . Thus, you will have a higher chance of winning . ”

“Got it . ” Lin Sheng nodded .
Coming out of the campus, Auldmandiller gave Lin Sheng a mobile phone for the mission and sent him off to report to the designated place .
Auldmandiller returned to the Soul Fortress to supervise the pharmaceutical works . It was said that the workshop had secured a buyer for its new drug . The buyer had sent their representatives to the Soul Fortress for a meeting . So the professor had taken time off his busy schedule to bring Lin Sheng to the mission selection meeting . This was the privileged treatment an elite student would receive . Not only did Lin Sheng not have to break his back to work for the workshop, but he also got to enjoy favors from the professor .
That was a contrast to the other students, who only got ten credits for completing more dangerous missions sometimes . The student societies held most of the quotas for missions with over ten credits, and these missions could last over a month . The student societies used various means to get the mission for themselves before assigning them to their members . That was also the reason many students outside these societies found life difficult .
However, a genius like Lin Sheng was different . Among the first and second-year students who enjoyed the same genius treatment, there were Fanny and Elind . Lin Sheng did not know how strong the two were and their level of dark energy . As a veteran whose strength had far surpassed that of a student, Lin Sheng wanted to work his way up slowly .
After gaining the power of the Heart of the Damned, his body was gradually mutating . Because of the surge in holy power earlier, Lin Sheng was cautious to not over-train his dark energy . So he could only cultivate step by step . When he sensed a spike in the dark energy, he would transfer the excess energy to the crystal warrior behind him .
A few days before setting out, Lin Sheng felt that his crystal warrior was getting clearer and clearer . But his control over the dark energy was still rudimentary, not even close to that of a One-winger . He was only a novice who rode on the advantage of having a huge amount of dark energy to bully other students . He was not as strong as he looked .

Lin Sheng traveled light with a bank card, some cash, and some materials for the ritual array . He hopped the campus bus and went straight toward Pine Town .
The bus suddenly sounded its harsh horn . Someone was blocking the way in front, waving a small flag purportedly conducting checks . The driver stopped the bus and impatiently waved a small black booklet in his hand . The persons carrying out the roadblock suddenly became pliant in their attitude and let the bus through .
There were ten students on the trip to Pine Town, and they were all in the bus .
“It’s said that two teams have arrived, and we are the third . They have enough men, but as long as the professors had not come out of the mine, we will have to keep patrolling the surrounding areas . It’s a bit of a troublesome for sure,” said a blonde girl with braided hair by the name of Melissa . She was one of the fellow students sitting next to Lin Sheng at the window . Among the ten students and except Lin Sheng, Melissa had the highest dark energy—over a hundred .
It was not known if the girl was hiding her capabilities, but with over a hundred units of dark energy, Melissa was one of the best among the One-wingers as opposed to the other rookies who were of the double-digit realm . Had Lin Sheng not been here, the girl would be the team leader . But since Lin Sheng was here, he was the team leader by default .
“I hope the situation in the mine will drag on . Otherwise, we may not gain enough credits!” Lin Sheng smiled .
“You’d better hope the professors didn’t hear it . Otherwise, they won’t spare you . ” Melissa laughed .
So too the rest of the team members . Those who could take part in the mission surely had some personal connections . Those wealthy families had “donated” quite a large amount of money to the university for sure .
