Chapter 654 - 624: The Effect of the Blood Bag (Part 2)

Lin Xinghai had nothing to hide, so he answered everyone’s questions one by one.

Once they heard the answers, excited expressions appeared on all their faces.

"Haha! I never expected the Abyssal Creatures to deliver such a great gift to us. Little Fatty, what’s my rank now? Is it my turn to take the next Blood Bag?" Yan Feijie asked, his face alight with joy.

"First of all, call me Vice-Captain. Second, you’re dreaming. Based on the current Contribution Points, the second person to take a Blood Bag after the boss is Hong Xiuyuan. Third is our sister-in-law, Liu Miaomiao. Fourth is Yuan Zheng. You’re fifth," Little Fatty said, giving Yan Feijie a sidelong glance.

"No way! My Contribution Points are that low," Yan Feijie couldn’t help but grumble.

Of course, he was just venting. In truth, he knew his Contribution Points were nowhere near enough to place him second.

These so-called Contribution Points were part of a system they had devised internally, specifically for allocating the Blood Bags.

The medicinal power in a single Blood Bag was equivalent to ten Nine Yang Blood Pills.

Therefore, according to the rules they’d established, a person’s contribution had to exceed the value of ten Nine Yang Blood Pills to even qualify for a Blood Bag.

These Contribution Points were calculated based on their contributions to the mission. They earned them for killing Mutated Zombies, and Lin Xinghai earned them for killing Abyssal Creatures—it worked just like regular Points.

Of course, eventually, many people would meet the qualifications for a Blood Bag, which would raise the question of priority.

The order was determined by who accumulated enough Contribution Points the fastest.

In that respect, Lin Xinghai had dealt with nearly all the Abyssal Creatures by himself, so his contribution was unquestionably the largest.

As for the others, take Hong Xiuyuan for example. He could transform into a King Kong Giant Ape with terrifying Attack Power. Every time, he could inflict massive damage on the Abyssal Creatures, so he naturally earned more Contribution Points.

Likewise, the Elemental Power Ball Superpower that Yuan Zheng used was also a burst-damage type; one was for melee, the other for ranged combat.

And that wasn’t even mentioning Liu Miaomiao. Her Life Control Superpower was unparalleled in both offense and healing. Though it lacked some burst damage, its effects became more terrifying against stronger enemies. It was especially miraculous against Mutated Zombies with high Defense Power.

As a result, she earned only slightly fewer Contribution Points than Hong Xiuyuan.

As for Yan Feijie, he relied entirely on his high Speed. Every time he faced a Mutated Zombie, he could strike multiple times in quick succession, stacking up damage to secure his fifth-place ranking.

Further down the list were Qiu Liang and Jiang Zijin.

Of course, aside from these Special Class Students, several second-year students—Peak of Blood Qi Realm Martial Artists like Leng Ruchen and Qin Qi—had also secured a slot for a Blood Bag.

As for the others, there was still a considerable gap between them and the likes of Yan Feijie.

Take Ye Xin, for example. Though he had progressed incredibly quickly over the past two months with Lin Xinghai’s help—he was even close to reaching the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage—and despite being an offense-oriented fighter, he had only managed to accumulate about a third of the contribution needed for one Blood Bag.

The same was true for the others, like Sun Tianbo and Xie Shanyong.

This was precisely why Lin Xinghai had established the rule: after consuming a Blood Bag, your place in the queue would drop to the very bottom.

This way, as long as they accumulated enough contribution, they could just get in line, and their turn would eventually come.

Otherwise, based on contribution alone, Lin Xinghai could probably claim every single Blood Bag for himself.

"Alright, let’s keep clearing the area! We’re bound to find more Blood Bags as we press deeper."

"Once this mission is done, we can accept one that takes us deeper into the Poisonous Fog District. I imagine the chances of finding Blood Bags there will be even greater."

"Besides, according to Instructor Zuo’s predictions, these new Abyssal Creatures won’t start moving toward the outer regions en masse until tonight at the earliest."

"So, there’s no need to rush. The most important thing for all of you right now is to accumulate more contribution. Otherwise, even if a ton of Blood Bags show up later, you’ll have to just stand by and watch me take them all if you don’t have the points for them," Lin Xinghai said with a smile, cutting through the chatter.

Hearing this, everyone’s fighting spirit was instantly ignited. They realized that he wasn’t just kidding—that could actually happen.

After all, with Lin Xinghai’s terrifying Gun Technique, killing these Abyssal Creatures was child’s play for him. His rate of collecting Blood Bags would absolutely be ten, or even dozens, of times faster than any other squad’s.

’It would be torture to see all those Blood Bags and not be qualified to take one.’

The appearance of that one Blood Bag caused the Xinghai Squad’s morale to skyrocket. After that, Lin Xinghai didn’t need to push them at all; everyone became incredibly proactive.

Some members, not even waiting for Mutated Zombies to appear, started targeting the Abyssal Creatures themselves.

Before, when these Abyssal Creatures charged, most people would just fend them off, unwilling to waste energy on an all-out fight.

But now, looking at these Abyssal Creatures was like looking at Blood Bags. Their eyes turned red as they charged, unleashing their Superpowers and Blood Qi Power to kill them in an instant.

Lin Xinghai didn’t stop them when he saw this. He just instructed everyone to keep at least half of their Blood Qi Power and Superpower reserves for emergencies. Other than that, he let them go wild.

The Xinghai Squad’s clearing efficiency instantly shot up by 200%.

Meanwhile, Bu Pengyun, who was at the rear commanding his troops to desperately give chase, was left dumbfounded. He suddenly saw the Xinghai Squad accelerate again and then vanish completely from his sensor range.

’Are students these days all such monsters?’ Bu Pengyun wondered. ’This graduation season, maybe I should advise the Division Commander that we need to recruit more students from East Sea Academy for the 56th Mechanized Infantry Division, even if we have to tighten our belts to do it.’

With the Xinghai Squad accelerating up ahead, the pace of their clearing mission skyrocketed.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xinghai had originally estimated that they would complete the clearing mission in about thirty to forty minutes.

But now, only twenty minutes in, they had already swept through more than 90% of the designated area.

In that time, they had found another nine Blood Bags, which only fueled everyone’s excitement.

"Push yourselves, everyone! Only this last street is left. Once we clear it, we’ll head back and accept a mission that goes deeper, so you can all get stronger faster," Lin Xinghai announced.

This mission had given him a clear understanding of the dangers within the Poisonous Fog District.

Basically, with the Xinghai Squad’s current strength, there wouldn’t be a major problem as long as they didn’t venture into the dangerous areas frequented by Fourth Level Mutated Zombies.

Of course, that was on one condition: he first needed to break through to the Marrow Tempering Realm Middle Stage to be able to use the complete version of the Thunder God Spear.

So, as he spoke, he lifted the faceplate of his Battle Armor, took out two Blood Burst Pills, tossed them into his mouth, and began the refinement process.
