Chapter 3072: Chapter 85: Analysis

When he saw those colossal silhouettes, as towering as mountains.

Guan Shanyun suddenly understood the true value of that admission letter, and why the Main God had stripped him of most of his chaotic powers when sending him into this world.

It’s not only because this world holds a high status, and descending with incompatible powers would mean facing unfathomable risks.

It’s also because entering this world is like setting foot on a wide path leading directly to the fourth tier, or even higher levels.

To go further on this path, he needs to break and rebuild, shattering the cheap cultivation he exchanged in the Main God Space and start from zero to relearn bit by bit.

This is a process of foundational rebuilding.

During his four years at this university, he will, like the true young wizards of this world, use basic magic concepts and common knowledge to reconstruct his worldview and power system.

After becoming a Reincarnator, it is hard to have such a long and peaceful time to calmly sort out one’s gains and focus on contemplating the future.

With this realization.

In the following period, Guan Shanyun eagerly soaked up the omnipresent magic knowledge within this university, like a sponge.

He initially thought these days would last for four years.

But the path to truth can never be so smooth.

Just over a month after entering the university, he encountered an unexpected crisis.

Since he enrolled as a follower of the Tuki Sect, he often had to carry out the sect’s tenets—robbery and murder—which, for someone like Guan Shanyun who had already mingled in the Main God Space for a while, felt as natural as eating and drinking. Especially after he actively ’improved’ the methods of robbery and murder, he believed he had minimized the associated risks.

However, he obviously overlooked that this is a world with strict regulations.

Some trivial matters he deemed insignificant were interpreted as ’campus bullying’ at this university, a serious violation of the "First University Management Regulations".

As a result, he received a one-year suspension experience card.

For other wizards, taking some time off may not be a matter of life and death, but for Guan Shanyun, every day of his four years at this university was extremely precious. He couldn’t afford to waste an extra year.

The good news was, the university gave him a special opportunity: if the newly established Edge Academy was willing to accept him, he could continue studying at First University through a transfer. For Guan Shanyun, studying at any academy was the same, as long as he could stay at this university. Even being an auditing student would suffice.

The bad news was, there seemed to be some controversy over whether the Edge Academy would accept him, at least before something even worse happened, he hadn’t received the transfer notification from the Edge Academy.

And that worse thing was the sudden release of three non-mandatory tasks by the Main God Space.

For any reincarnator, receiving a non-mandatory task in a mission world is definitely a cause for celebration.

But for Guan Shanyun, it was a losing deal.

Like the first task—survive in this world for thirty days—he spent an A-level side storyline, over twelve thousand reward points, and a precious admission letter to exchange for four years of study in this world, only to have it inexplicably changed by the space to a non-mandatory task where he only needed to stay for thirty days to earn six thousand reward points and a B-level side storyline.

Anyone with basic elementary school math could see the catch.

He didn’t curse the heavens, simply because here there are real gods above, and cursing recklessly might genuinely bring disaster.

But upon calming down and carefully interpreting the three tasks, he gained a new understanding.

According to the general nature of the Main God, it neither gives Reincarnators orders leading to certain death, nor does it allow them to slack off on tasks.

Just like the three non-mandatory tasks in front of him.

Whether or not he accepts the first task, he must survive for thirty days.

The difference is, accepting the task offers a bit of a reward.

Not accepting it would result in a significant loss.

If he wanted to coast along and only accept the first task, he would end up with ’basic guaranteed rewards’ at the final settlement—in a non-lethal and non-confrontational scenario, based on his understanding of this university, where even campus bullying was not allowed, surviving thirty days was a task assured of completion once accepted.

The only cost would be bearing the loss of his reward points and side storyline.

If he’s willing to take a substantial risk and take on the second task, murder any student, he could ’recover most of his capital’, reclaiming the A-level side storyline and over ten thousand reward points he initially invested, and even gain a B-level side storyline and several thousand reward points.

As for the cultivation that was cleansed before he entered this world, as long as he timed it right and found a high-level Blood Race to receive the Initial Embrace before leaving, restoring his original second-tier battle power was not difficult—moreover, after leaving, his development path would be definite and clear, surpassing most Reincarnators in the Main God Space.

As for the third task, Guan Shanyun just glanced at it and dismissed it.

The name ’Peripheral Type One’ vaguely reminded him of something he’d heard from senior students, seemingly related to a highly confidential research project at First University, involving several A-level wanted fugitives who defected two years ago and the dean of the mysterious and legendary Edge Academy.

Guan Shanyun was neither a newcomer Reincarnator unfamiliar with this world nor insane enough to poke a hornet’s nest like this! He was well aware that S-level side storylines were not something he could covet.

Murdering a student or two was still within the university’s threshold of tolerance—at least he’d heard more than once in campus folklore about the accidental deaths of students at First University. As long as he was discreet, coupled with his special identity as a Tuki Sect follower, it likely wouldn’t alarm the university higher-ups, only triggering a normal level of investigation.

But if he casually pried into the school’s top secrets, and accidentally attracted the attention of a Legendary Wizard, it’d be certain death.

After accepting the first two tasks.

Guan Shanyun’s gaze fell again on the culprits causing this accident.

"——North American Team... arriving within ten days?"

He muttered, his eyes reflecting deep thought—the North American Team was one of the top teams in the Main God Space, rumored to have more than one fourth-tier existence. What mission such a team received upon arriving in this world was unknown.

The biggest event at the school within these ten days was probably the school hunting competition.

In other words, the North American Team’s mission was related to this year’s school hunting competition?
