Lin Ran's combat power further increased to 4400 points.
It could only be said that this figure was severely inconsistent with his actual combat strength...
After all, when calculating combat power, Lin Ran's Sharingan, the Op-Op Fruit, and the Gate of Babylon were not included.
The amplification from equipment was also not included.
It merely targeted a raw calculation based on each person's unique talents and physical fitness, so it was only natural for it to be inaccurate.
Being able to pass the tier examination was the true representation of hard power.
Lin Ran felt that even if he were to apply for the advancement exam for second-tier Awakened ones, he could pass it with ease.
It was a pity that the registration requirement for the second-tier Awakened examination was to first increase combat power to a minimum of 10,000 points...
It was truly a helpless situation.
The main benefit of increasing one's tier was reflected in the associated welfare benefits.
Starting from second-tier Awakened ones, Longguo would provide a considerable monthly welfare guarantee to the Awakened.
Furthermore, many secret realms and forbidden areas not open to the public, as well as certain urban areas, required one to hold the status of a high-tier Awakened.
Lin Ran could only drink a bottle of high-tier gene modification fluid and slowly temper his body and talents.
The gene modification fluid that had been accumulated in his body, which would have taken a full month to digest, was now fully digested through continuous training in the practice room and several real combat encounters.
This was also the reason why Lin Ran wanted to temper himself in forbidden areas and natural secret realms.
Fierce combat could greatly accelerate the digestion speed of gene modification fluid within the body.
Excluding the bottle he had just consumed, Lin Ran still had 34 bottles of high-tier gene modification fluid in his Soul Ring.
These were all rewards he had received previously for winning the title of top scorer in the college entrance examination.
He should be able to digest a good amount of it within a month.
As for the hundred gold-tier one-time item exchange coupons, Lin Ran had exchanged them for various scrolls and items with different effects, to be prepared for any unforeseen circumstances.
Lin Ran had also crammed a large pile of food and fresh water into his Soul Ring.
Coupled with the divine might hidden in his right eye for life-saving, Lin Ran could be said to have made thorough preparations.
He would head to the mission hall, select a location, and then undertake a few missions before departing!
Luo Qingyan was currently undergoing special training with Lin Miao, and Lin Ran certainly did not want to slack off either.
After putting on his clothes and using the rented hoverbike parked outside, Lin Ran quickly traveled from the villa to the mission hall of Yanyun University.
If one were to undertake missions for the first time, they would have to register their information and officially become an Executor.
Otherwise, they would not be able to log into the mission hall's information network and freely accept missions.
As most of the new students had not yet arrived, the mission hall was far from bustling, with only a sparse few dozen people.
Lin Ran soon arrived at the front desk and asked the young lady working there:
"Excuse me, is the processing of Executor identification done here?"
The young lady, seeing the handsome Lin Ran, smiled and nodded:
"That's right, it's done here."
"Could you provide your student card and ID information?"
"You can connect to our registration network with your biochip to upload it."
Seeing Lin Ran begin to transmit the relevant information, the young lady glanced at her receiving panel and could not help but exclaim in surprise:
"Student, you're a freshman this year?"
Lin Ran nodded:
"That's right, I'm a freshman..."
"Is there anything surprising about that?"
The young lady blinked her eyes:
"Generally speaking, it's rare for first-year students to apply to become Executors."
"After all, the outside world is very dangerous, and life is only one, so who among these favored children would not cherish it?"
Lin Ran could not help but chuckle:
"So, you mean I don't cherish it as much..."
The young lady quickly shook her head, and while processing the paperwork, said:
"No, no..."
"On the contrary, I admire your courage even more."
"Those who dare to apply to be an Executor in their first year and go out hunting are definitely among the top tier."
"All of you who can successfully graduate will be dragons among men, with infinitely bright futures..."
"Oh, right, after obtaining Executor status, there are a few points you need to be aware of, and I must explain them to you first."
Lin Ran said earnestly:
"Please tell me, miss."
The young lady smiled again and said:
"It's like this, there are also different ranks among Executors."
"Low-ranking Executors can only undertake low-ranking missions, while high-ranking Executors can undertake high-ranking missions."
"The ranks of Executors, from low to high, are divided the same way as talents: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS, which are nine ranks."
"To improve your Executor rank, you need to complete more missions, accumulate experience, and gradually level up."
"Besides our school, there are also some social missions outside."
"However, those missions do not grant academic credit rewards, and many are posted by individuals, so you should be aware of this."
Lin Ran nodded:
"I understand all of this, is there anything else?"
The young lady continued:
"Yes, there's one last point."
"After obtaining Executor status, your identity information will include something called Hunting Points and something called Military Merit Points."
"These two things are related to fierce beasts and alien races."
"After all, humanity's main opponents are currently fierce beasts and alien races."
"The alien races' ambition to destroy our human race is unyielding, and fierce beasts constantly cause beast tides to attack cities, severely threatening our lives and property."
"As for the statistics of these two types of points, you don't need to worry."
"With the system helping with calculations, you don't have to worry about your Hunting Points and Military Merit Points being stolen."
"The more fierce beasts and alien races you kill, and the stronger their power, the more Hunting Points and Military Merit Points you will naturally obtain."
"The function of these two points is very similar to our Yan Da's academic credits; both are used to exchange for various items and props."
"It's just that the channels for exchange change from the school to the nation and the army."
"However, in terms of the preciousness of exchanged items, they definitely cannot compare to our Yan Da's academic credits..."
"This is due to the scarcity of top-tier resources."
"The items they can be exchanged for are relatively common and not as precious."
"But if you can accumulate a large quantity, the returns are quite considerable."
"Alternatively, if you significantly improve your Executor rank or military rank, you might also gain access to the top-tier resources of the nation and the army."
"Once I finish processing your application, you will soon see their existence on your brand-new status panel."
