Chapter 13

Putting a thread of consciousness into the tower to explore the functions of the portable armory system, while acting in the outside world, was a skill that He Ping had come up with out of boredom while observing the Tianhua soldiers cleaning up the battlefield after the battle. It was a bit like doing two things at once. Although this method could not fully and effectively operate the display on the stone table, it was still possible to simply observe the status changes.

From the start of the victory banquet, He Ping had been drinking and chatting with Zhao Zheng and others while using that thread of consciousness to explore the tower. When Zhao Zheng asked him what his plans were next, He Ping originally intended to say that he would first take a look around the area and then decide what he wanted to do next. However, before he could say this, the thread of consciousness in the tower discovered that the resource points, which were previously at 0, had now become 100.

What are resource points? Simply put, they are the cost and raw materials for the portable armory. Although the portable armory can produce various weapons and equipment, they do not appear out of thin air; they must consume the corresponding resource points. Only by consuming resource points to produce weapons and equipment can one earn war points through sales to upgrade the system. The way to obtain resource points, which He Ping had already figured out, is to sanction the people on the blacklist.

On the system's operation interface, there is a blacklist that records various criminals. Each criminal, based on their crimes, is automatically given a difficulty level and a profit level by the system. When He Ping follows the requirements on the blacklist and completes the corresponding sanctions on the criminals, he will receive the resource points indicated in the profit level. This is the only way to obtain resource points.

Before the battle ended, He Ping had not checked the relevant content, so he did not know about resource points and the blacklist. After he figured out the functions, he did not have time to look at the people on the blacklist, so he had no time to sanction the criminals on the list. Therefore, what was the sudden appearance of 100 resource points? Could there be a newbie bonus?

The consciousness He Ping left in the tower opened the blacklist, which was filled with many names. Some names had "Soldier World" in parentheses, while others had "Main World." At the top of the blacklist, there were three tabs: "All," "Uncompleted," and "Completed." Below these tabs were two secondary tabs: "All Worlds" and "Current World."

Looking at the dense list of names, He Ping felt a headache. He first adjusted the secondary tab to "Current World," and the names instantly disappeared, leaving only those with "Soldier World" in parentheses. Then he adjusted the primary tab to "Completed." He thought it would be blank, but to his surprise, there was already one entry under the "Completed" tab.

Chris Lance (Soldier World)!

It was him! He Ping had just learned from Zhao Zheng that the silver-haired man he had killed was named Chris, known as the Silver Wolf in the area, a formidable character. However, He Ping did not ask for more details, as he was just a dead man. He did not expect that this guy was actually on the blacklist, and from his full name, his surname was Lance, meaning he was a member of the Lance family that ruled the Lance Province.

He Ping clicked on Chris's information and saw more detailed information below his name and the world he was from. Besides Chris's birth date and basic characteristics, there were also several clear portraits. Most notably, there was a section called "Crimes," and Chris's crimes were indiscriminate killing and the torture of prisoners. Below the crimes was the method of sanction, and the system required Chris to be publicly executed!

Public execution!? He Ping had a sudden realization. When he killed Chris, there were soldiers from both sides around, and since everyone except He Ping himself knew Chris, it could be considered public. The execution was simple; He Ping killed Chris on the spot, which certainly met the standard for execution. Thus, the first profit on the blacklist was completed without He Ping's knowledge, making him marvel at the twists of fate.

Then, He Ping, as if thinking of something, immediately adjusted the primary tab to "Uncompleted." The interface, which originally had only Chris, immediately showed many names. Some of these names had an obvious Okland style, while others were clearly Tianhua names like Zhao Zheng. Among them, many were surnamed Zhao, but it was unknown if they had any connection to Zhao Zheng and the Zhao family. However, He Ping's attention was not on these people.

Scanning down the blacklist, He Ping finally found his target among the names—Wolfe! This was the name of the Okland commander in the battle, as He Ping had learned from Zhao Zheng. He Ping had not forgotten the old man's fierce look at him during the retreat. The reborn He Ping was no longer a gentle person; for any possible threat, his principle was to eliminate it in its infancy.

Wolfe Lance! He was also from the Lance family, but it was unknown what his relationship was with Chris. Could they be father and son? If so, the words he said at the end were a blatant insult. Ah, this really is the twists of fate. A casual remark turned out to be a prophecy. He killed his son and insulted him so much, and now the enmity is set. At this point, he could only eliminate Wolfe as well.

"Little brother? Little brother He Ping? What's wrong?" Zhao Zheng saw that He Ping, who was about to answer his question, suddenly seemed to notice something and froze. He thought something had happened and quickly nudged He Ping's arm. He Ping, who had only sent a thread of consciousness into the tower, immediately reacted and said, "Nothing, nothing, just thought of some trivial matters, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

Seeing that He Ping did not want to say more, Zhao Zheng did not press further. He repeated his previous question and shifted the topic to He Ping's next plans. Facing this question again, He Ping did not immediately give a definite answer but said, "General Zhao, before that, I want to inquire about the details of Wolfe and Chris. The more detailed, the better. If everything goes smoothly, I think I can give General Zhao another great gift."
