《Start With Contracting Sprites》Chapter 155: Mission Platform
Advertisement
Time: August 27 – August 30
Location: Whale Island University - Ring-shaped Mountain
Character: Li Songting (weighted state)
Event: Completing the ten-round long-distance run around the Ring-shaped Mouth (triggering an opportunity)
It was probably because Li Songting was sprinkling his youth under the setting sun, and had encountered a similarly sweat-sparkling muscle… Heavenly King Bu.
During the challenge segment, Li Songting lost too quickly.
The one who ended up in the arena was just a sprite, which was inconspicuous among the group of new students.
Until recently…
After Su Hao was done listening, he thought about it carefully. It seemed… unexpected, but also reasonable.
"Songting's physical fitness is abnormal, but at least his physique is within the range of a normal person."
"Now that he's taken in as Heavenly King Bu's disciple and undergoing special training under Heavenly King Bu, after a period of time, will he…?"
Su Hao looked up and imagined a random day in a few months.
The doorbell of the villa rang. Li Songting's hot-blooded and impassioned voice came from outside. "Su Hao, let's have a battle."
The moment he opened the door.
A huge shadow casted down.
He had no choice but to look up.
The head… it was still the familiar head, but the body… had become the demonic muscular body of Heavenly King Bu's bloodline.
His huge body had explosive granite-like muscles.
A normal headwear was worn above. Suddenly, he grinned, revealing his shiny teeth.
Terrifying!
It was too scary!
He hurriedly shook off the incongruous scene in his mind.
Liu Ren was a little envious.
Although he said that he wanted to cozy up to Su Hao, his conviction remaining firm.
But...
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a Heavenly King-level instructor who could get him so many unique skills and resources too!
"Old Su, do you think I'll have a chance to meet Heavenly King Bu when I go for a run at the Ring-shaped Mountain?"
Su Hao was rendered speechless.
He paused and typed a line of words. "Firstly, you will need to run ten rounds around the Ring-shaped Mountain while bearing a heavy weight on your back. Secondly, you need to turn your Lava Tortoise into Immortal Turtle and master the basic physical fighting techniques. Then…"

Liu Ren Or2.
He decided to hug Old Su's thigh, cozying up to him obediently.
...
University life was relatively free.
The compulsory classes were strict, and skipping classes affected the final assessment, but the school hours were actually much less than those in ordinary universities.
All the compulsory lessons were held in the first week.
They were done in one breath— allowing the students to have time to complete some extracurricular missions.
During the compulsory class "Sprite Trainer Levels".
The whole classroom was about the size of a small auditorium. The contents of the textbooks were shown on the huge screen.
The instructor even specially prepared a row of sprites.
Moss Turtle, Thorny Turtle, Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle, another Ten-Thousand Vine Turtle.
Little Seashell, Water-Treading Snail, Fairy Snail, another Fairy Snail.
...
They corresponded to non-entry-level, entry-level, elite-level, and extraordinary-level respectively.
Using the same type of sprite as a comparison, it allowed the students present to have a deep and thorough understanding of the levels of Sprite Trainers and sprites.
"The mark of an official Sprite Trainer is having an entry-level sprite who can learn "Sprite Commandeering: Protection". This means that Sprite Trainers have a certain level of self-protection ability. The threat of ordinary firearms and weapons has already been greatly reduced…"
"Elite-level Sprite Trainers can utilise greater extents of Sprite Commandeering. There are important abilities such as "Sprite Commandeering: Same Frequency", "Sprite Commandeering: Spiritual Connection", and so on. Starting from elite-level, there are more tactics for combat and battles without rules that can be arranged…"
"Master-level Sprite Trainers…"
Unlike the other compulsory classes, the first-year students in the department listened very seriously to this one.
Their sprites were also quiet.
Liu Ren, who was sitting at the side, even started to write in his notes.
"Old Su, don't you need to write this down?"
Su Hao pointed at his head.
Liu Ren, "…" I shouldn't have asked!
At first, Su Hao also listened, but he discovered that they were all knowledge that he already knew and couldn't provide intelligence.
He looked to the side.
Reverie Butterfly was playing with its cell phone quietly.
The Flaming Cloud Crow was quietly daydreaming… thinking.
Water Unicorn Beast… It was quietly and strenuously learning words of the language.

As the only one in the Su's Sprite team who couldn't write… and couldn't understand Dragon Nation's language, that wouldn't do. He had to make up for it.
Apart from Reverie Butterfly, the other two had to be cultured sprites as well.
Su Hao simply opened the Sprite Commandeering wristband.
He entered the mission platform and started flipping through it.
It was generally divided into three sections.
[Internal school mission], [Domestic mission], [New World mission].
As a student of Sprite Universities, his university life definitely was heavily intertwined with mission platforms.
If he didn't do missions? There won't be credits. Without credits, he wouldn't get resources.
The school's purpose was: Only with effort can there be gains.
"Even though I just got 2000 credits, I'm still poor…"
He had used 1000 credits to purchase a 'Flowing Fire Seed' for the Flaming Cloud Crow to fuse with.
It would take about a month to completely fuse.
"When the time comes, I shall bring Flaming Cloud Crow to test out the data."
Then, he spent another 200 credits to order a 'Scale Nourishment' set meal for the Water Unicorn Beast.
After buying some facilities for a longer cultivation period, treasures that could increase the basic attributes of sprites, and so on, he only had 300 credits left out of the original 2000.
It was used to maintain his livelihood.
Su Hao opened the school's mission section.
Internal school missions were usually the easiest. This was probably what freshmen could take on.
[School Cleaning 001]
[Mission Introduction: Clean the fallen leaves from East Park Road to West Park Road]
[Requirements: Sprites who master wind-element unique skills, time limit of 3 hours]
[Reward: 2 credits]
[Remarks: During the cleaning process, if you damage the plants or facilities along the way, the reward will be canceled. Serious damage caused will result in deducted credits]
Su Hao recalled for a moment. He seemed to have really seen students who commanded their sprites to clean up.
The hurricane picked up the fallen leaves and threw them all into the trash can.
Don't think it's easy.
The real test was the sprite's control over the wind. If there was even the slightest mistake, it was very likely that what would be swept up wasn't the fallen leaves, but the neatly trimmed bushes and flowers.
That would be a tragedy.
In contrast, there was also the task of pruning the bushes.
And… the tree planting mission.
"The location is in Area A of the Instructor Area, wait… Was it a mission from Senior Wu?"
"How much does Senior Wu like planting trees!?"
Most of the missions in the mission system were issued by the school.
A small number of them were issued by the instructors.
For example, the tree planting mission given by Senior Wu. Occasionally, the other instructors would also issue some temporary recruitment missions.
[Laboratory Assistant Mission 003]
[Mission Introduction: Assist Instructor Tang Haodang in completing the research experiment on the 'Effect of the Vine Demon on the Growth of 57 Types of Flowers']
[Requirements: Entry-level Sprite Cultivator license, interview required]
[Mission Reward: 3.5 credits per day, guidance from Instructor Tang Haodang]
[Note:
Time released: 3 hours ago
Spots claimed (4 / 5)]
"Advanced-level Sprite Cultivators are indeed popular everywhere."
"However, only in prestigious schools can one casually find a group of official Sprite Cultivators as assistants."
The ratio of students from Whale Island University, Sprite Trainer School, and Sprite Care School was approximately 8 to 2.
But even for students of the Sprite Commandeering specialization, they had to pass the entry-level Sprite Cultivator license before graduating from their fourth year of university.
If it was a cultivation specialization, the starting point of graduation would be a mid-level Sprite Cultivator. There were also a lot of other academic requirements.
Su Hao scanned across.
Looking for trouble.
"Sprite Trainers are still the easiest, being reckless is enough."
Su Hao continued to look.
"Well… School students can also issue missions on the platform."
[Training Mission 012]
[Mission Introduction: Assist the sprite, "Punching King Kangaroo", in completing the initial comprehension of "Sleeping Fist"]
[Requirements: Sprites with hypnotic properties, elite-level and above]
[Reward: 16 credits]
The requirements for these missions were considered low, and there was no danger involved.
Students chose missions according to their sprites.
It was just that the credits were also low.
"However, many domestic missions are dangerous. They can only be received after passing the assessment."

Cutting to Life: an NPC LitRPG (Battle Royale)
Nikola is an NPC in The World of Wills, a video game where players can feel sensations as if they were truly there. She leads a life of bloodshed and murder - that is, until one day she wakes up sapient. Just as she begins thinking real, non-scripted thoughts and making connections, she and the players in the game are told that if they die in the game, they die in real life - and it's time to get killing. But what of Nikola, the emerging AI consciousness? How does she win in a game that can only end in her being wiped from existence at the end of it all? - Updates Mondays and Fridays. Cutting to Life is a slow-burn LitRPG with a villainous (later anti-hero, or maybe still villainous, haha) female lead.It's told from the perspective of Nikola, an NPC within the World of Wills who's become sapient and is now mysteriously able to play the game as a PC. It's quite light for a LitRPG, but the system and stats become more of a focus later when Nikola herself can access them.The story gradually builds into a Battle Royale where the players' lives are on the line (if you die in the game, you die in real life), and only one party of savvy adventurers can win. They'll have to spend their time and stats wisely as dungeons promising rare gear float down from the sky - but is a legendary sword worth killing someone for, knowing they'll stay dead forever? - This story is told in third person, past tense.- This is a slow-burn LitRPG that spends a lot of time establishing its setting and characters, because I believe this will make for a better payoff in the end. As such, the Battle Royale doesn't start until chapter 30 or so.- Chapters are anywhere between 800 words and 3000 words long.- Book cover by Vixeona.Cutting to Life is also being posted on SPB and Scribble Hub.Thank you sincerely for reading.
