Era of Magic and Martial Arts

Chapter 73: A-Rank Tactical Squad?


Where's the promised covert operation?

Is the way you guys assimilate by serving a prison sentence?

Feng Mu felt a headache coming on, he was already greatly shocked without having to rescue this tactical team.

Buzz buzz buzz—

His phone vibrated, an encrypted email was sent to it, just like last time, the sender was a blank space, with a note saying it would self-destruct after reading.

Feng Mu sighed and opened the email. It was an A-level confidential [Destiny] file.

Confidential level A meant that in the internal evaluation of [Destiny], the value assessment of this tactical team was A, meaning this team had completed at least one A-level difficulty mission.

This evaluation system was set by him in the game, so Feng Mu was naturally very familiar with it.

The value assessments from low to high are D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and although they don't directly correlate with combat power, they're more or less accurate.

An A-level difficulty usually corresponds to a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, which means this team had directly or indirectly defeated a Sixth Grade Martial Artist in their mission?

What concept is a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, in the game they are basically impervious to ordinary hot weapon attacks, in reality, they could probably crush an ordinary Investigation Corps?

However, the game is just a reference to reality, there are still differences, not to mention who knows what patches the system installed upon entering reality.

Feng Mu found it difficult to judge accurately.

After all, in the game, everyone has health bars and levels above their heads, strengths and weaknesses are clear, it's easy to see at a glance.

In power-building games, the combat system is quite simplistic, not much maneuvering in battles, it's purely a numbers game, usually no higher-level counterkills.

But in reality, the factors affecting victory and defeat are much more complicated to calculate.

But precisely because of this, if an A-level tactical team is operated properly, the value it could exert may far exceed A-level.

Of course, if handled improperly it might not even reach B-level.

"This is where reality is more complex, uncertain, dangerous, and interesting than the game."

Feng Mu made a decision in his heart, he must rescue this A-level tactical team, even if it means planning a prison break.

"By the way, the Black Face I just killed should fall in the Fourth Grade range of strength, right, so now I have the capability to kill a Fourth Grade Martial Artist?"

Feng Mu's eyes flashed with brilliance, although he had used some schemes in battle, but isn't the use of schemes also a form of strength?

"In just a month, I've gone from a Martial Arts weakling to a Fourth Grade Martial Artist?"

Feng Mu's face lit up with joy, but he rationally shook his head,

"Can't equate it so simply, a Martial Artist's strength ranking is a complex matter, I can only be considered Fourth Grade in attack power, all other aspects are still far behind."

"Moreover, whether in martial arts level-up or game leveling-up, it's quick early on and slower as you progress, experience points multiply, I must not get carried away with this small achievement, I need to remain humble and cautious, after all, my future enemies are..."

Feng Mu's limited Martial Arts perspective and scarce experience made his understanding and judgment of his own strength very unclear, but fortunately, he had a correct mindset.

Reining in his scattered thoughts, Feng Mu continued reading the email.

The first thing that caught his eye were several photos, followed by a brief personal introduction.

...

With the basic information of five people, Feng Mu memorized it after a couple of scans, while some doubts emerged in his mind.

"I understand Martial Arts Fourth Grade, but what does Alien Fourth Transformation and Alien Five States mean? I don't recall this system in the game, they must be patches made after entering reality, and I've never heard these terms in the martial arts lessons at school either?"

"Alien Fourth Transformation is probably not Martial Arts Fourth Grade, otherwise it would just say Martial Arts Fourth Grade, so is this another level-up system?"

"Is it a unique system of [Destiny], or does the Martial Arts system contain more than one system, but only the Martial Arts Nine Grades is widely known?"

Feng Mu, just a lower-tier Blank Person, had very limited knowledge of the world, and with the game's intrusion, he felt even more that this world was shrouded in mist.

"It's not surprising, after all, I've never seen the sky of this world, who's to say there aren't two Suns overhead."

"I've only heard of the Hidden Sect and never set foot in it, this world also has mutations, Calamity Corpses, and Evil Sacrifice… well, it's no surprise strange systems emerge, maybe one day monsters and demons will appear too."

Feng Mu sighed, deciding not to ponder the world's hidden secrets, better to wait until he fully inherits [Destiny] to consider those.

For now, he'll just stick to his role as a lower-tier person, occasionally donning the [Mask] for minor happenings.

Finding some colossal world conspiracy, saving the world, or destroying it, leave that to whoever's interested, stay far from me, don't bother me.

At the end of the email, there were a few more lines explaining the circumstances led to Team 087's incarceration, summed up in one sentence.

Team 087 deliberately offended to get jailed, because Captain Tailor Chen Ya had a flash of brilliance, believing prison was the most concealed place to hide one's identity.

The only issue was their sentences ended up being a bit long, they've been out of touch with the outside world for nearly a year.

Indeed, Team 087 had the ability to break out of Prison No. 3 anytime, but doing so would reveal an overwhelming prowess, bound to attract a higher level of investigation.

Minutes later, the email self-destructed.

Feng Mu came to a conclusion in his mind: "So, the prison break has to strictly control the display of power, like passing a test, clearly having the 100-point capability, but must precisely aim for 60."

Feng Mu exhaled deeply, it's hard to say whether it's more difficult to pass with 100 points or hit exactly 60, but evidently, Team 087's captain is surely an unparalleled... genius?!!

Who knows if Chen Ya and Ma Bin meet in the future, who will be more cunning.

Feng Mu realized [Destiny] is truly a madman gathering place, even random subordinates assigned to him are all a damn nuisance not to be trifled with.

Shaking his head, Feng Mu decided not to think about the prison break for now, it could be discussed with Ma Bin later, maybe a better plan could be devised.

He refocused his attention on the treasure chest.

Special Skill Points are quite understandable, they can upgrade any skill or trait not categorized as [entry], even breaking beyond the limits of ordinary skills.

In other words, Feng Mu can add them to [Molded Embryo] now, immediately shedding its white skin, or use them on [Tongue Root Death Curse], even on [Deputy's Blessing] and [Marriage Death Twins].

And if added to [Crane Claw Skill], it would directly break the limits of this ordinary skill.

"In short, except for [Iron Eater], [Frenzy Blood], and [Feast] that cannot be upgraded, everything else can be upgraded with Special Skill Points?"

Feng Mu bit his lip, lost in thought.

So, which one should be upgraded?
