I Added Everything to Strength

Chapter 12: I Want to see Some Blood

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Compared to the previous two days, there were many more young faces within the Red Mist Alliance.

He Mu guessed the identity of the young people with a moment’s thought.

College students who went home for vacation.

And almost all of them were the kind of college students who took the Red Mist Fighter’s route.

This made He Mu a little envious.

What he envied wasn’t that this group of people had gone to college, but that they were able to travel freely between the big city and their hometown.

After joining the Red Mist Alliance, he had learned a lot more information.

Among them was the mention of free travel fees for college students returning home for vacation.

The reason why road fees were waived was because not only was this group of young people strong, but they would also return home at the same time, so the defensive capacity of that whole train would be greatly increased.

Not to mention the fact that there were some teachers who were heading home together.

Of course, the Red Mist Alliance’s members would also have discounted train tickets because of this reason. But if one wanted a free train ticket, one had to be at least an intermediate member, and the free train ticket was limited to special months.

When one became a senior member, the train would be free to ride all the time, and sometimes there were even subsidies to take.

…

Perhaps because of him basking in the glory of this group of college students, He Mu also attracted many awe-inspiring glances along the way.

When he came to the bar, it was daytime. But the number of patrons inside were several times more than when he first came.

He Mu scanned the crowd, and went straight to the counter.

This time, Uncle Li finally wasn’t laying over the counter and browsing his phone again. Instead, he was looking out the distant window.

He Mu followed his gaze. There was nothing much outside the window, but a skimpily-dressed woman by the window seat.

“Ahem.”

He Mu let out a cough.

“Oh, He Mu? I was looking at an acquaintance passing by outside and didn’t notice you.”

Uncle Li snapped back to attention and let out a chuckle.

He Mu didn’t expose him either, and spoke as if nothing had happened: “Uncle Li, I’m here to take on a mission.”

“Have you spent all your money?”

“No, I just want to train myself.”

Uncle Li frowned in response, before pointing to a young man in the bar who was drinking, and whispered in a somewhat envious tone: “See, returning college students. They are strong, rich, and have a lot of good things on them! As soon as they returned, the number of people that visited the Red Mist Alliance have gone up several times! It’s all about getting the benefits from them!

“But I still have to advise you to go back and study and train well. Gain about 20 to 30 combat power for next year’s college entrance exam and as long as your performance isn’t too outrageous, you can still go to Lingzhou…

“Uh, but Lingzhou doesn’t seem to have any decent universities…”

Uncle Li scratched his head as though recalling something. But after a while, he still couldn’t come up with it.

Upon seeing his reaction, He Mu hurriedly said: “Uncle Li, I have my own plans for the future.”

In fact, He Mu had already considered his future after solving his big brother’s incident.

He even thought about going to university as well.

But the reality was that two days ago, his combat power had already reached 19.

And now, he was estimated to be between 21 and 22.

At this rate, perhaps his combat power would be powerful enough for him to become an ordinary university teacher at the college entrance exam next year.

So how could he still go to a university?

One had to know that the best candidate in Nancheng this year, as reported on the Nancheng News, had a combat power of only 99.

“Okay, I’ll find a suitable mission for you…”

Uncle Li sighed helplessly, and started searching on his computer again.

A few moments later.

“Is this fine? There’s a man who’s looking for a chaperone for his son. You will work two hours a day, with a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan. Upon completion of each month, you will get 2 city contribution points.”

He Mu shook his head: “I want to see some blood.

Hearing this, Uncle Li wasn’t amused.

“Sigh, you little brat. You don’t even know if your body has fully recovered and you still want to get into a bloody fight? You think it’s a joke?”

He Mu’s expression became unusually serious. When Uncle Li finished his remarks, He Mu leaned in closer and spoke in a somewhat cold tone: “Do you know what the reason for the ‘disability due to injury’ on my profile was?”

“What happened?”

“A murderer came into my mother’s ward when I was very young, and I killed him. That’s how I got injured.”

Hearing these words, Uncle Li’s expression instantly froze. Then, he looked at He Mu’s dark eyes, and a chill instantly arose in his heart.

Uncle Li had been here for many years and had seen countless people. Of course, he knew that people who had seen blood and people who hadn’t were very different in some ways.

He Mu’s eyes belonged to the former.

At this thought, Uncle Li lit a cigarette, took a sharp puff, and continued his search.

This time, he looked for a monster-hunting mission.

“Grandma Wang’s pet dog in the Hongyun neighborhood is suspected to be mutated…”

“Ahem, don’t insult me, I’m not entirely useless. I still possess some combat power.”

…

A lot of back and forth between them happened.

Eventually He Mu took on the mission of unblocking the city’s drainage pipes.

Recently, the drainage pipes in Lusen district often made some strange sounds. Monsters were suspected to be inside them.

Such sewer monsters’ combat power were generally below five. With He Mu’s current strength, dealing with them would be a breeze.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take a mission with a higher difficulty factor, but the rules didn’t allow it.

The reason why the first 10 missions for new Red Mist Alliance members must be taken within the Red Mist Alliance was to facilitate the control of difficulty and give new members time to grow.

As long as one was a new member, and even if one had a combat power of 100, the second mission must be related to some activities like cleaning the sewers.

All of this, in fact, was to protect the lives of the Red Mist Fighters.

As the truly dangerous missions were immediate and unexpected, they could only be accepted through the Red Mist Alliance’s mission system, making it impossible for one to come to the Red Mist Alliance to accept them.

Without the first 10 tasks as a buffer, one would likely lose one’s life if one were to encounter unexpected missions.

All these rules were set using experience and blood, and He Mu had to abide by them.

…

Leaving the Red Mist Bar, He Mu went straight to the Lusen district.

Lusen district in Nancheng was an old neighborhood. It was about seven or eight kilometers from the Red Mist Alliance, and close to the industrial area.

It didn’t take much time for He Mu to get there on foot.

When he arrived at the place, he made a phone call according to the mission instructions, and it didn’t take long for three skinny sewer workers in blue clothes to pull up to the roadside in a small, white pickup truck.

After getting out of the car, the leading sewer worker took a look at He Mu and asked with some surprise: “Are you the… Red Mist Fighter assigned by the Red Mist Alliance?”

He Mu raised his phone: “Yes, it’s me.”

“Brother, the sewers during the day may be a bit smelly and filthy. Why don’t we wait for the night? Anyway, the nearby drainage wells are blocked, so even if there are monsters inside, they can’t come out for the time being.”

The worker saw He Mu’s kind face and subconsciously made a suggestion.

“Don’t you guys need to rest at night?” He Mu asked.

“Uh, special circumstances, special treatment. A little overtime is fine.” The three workers were a bit surprised by He Mu’s question and naturally replied back after looking at each other.

“I’ll be fine. Give me the equipment, it won’t take long.”

He Mu said while extending his hand.

The three workers gave He Mu another look before taking out a set of protective gear from the small pickup, as well as a pair of small Bluetooth headset.

“Brother, keep in touch after you go down there, and hurry out if the monster is too strong.”

“Got it.”

He Mu took the protective suit with both hands and put it on, before wearing the Bluetooth headset.

After waiting for the workers to open the well cover, he jumped down right away.
