Wang Rong was surprised to receive the equipment, but that didn't stop him from putting them on right away. After receiving them, he happily tested them out since he knew that these were the things that he had been missing. On the other side, Iris seemed a bit disappointed that there wasn't anything for her. I just watched the two of them for a bit before saying, "Alright, let's continue moving." That snapped the two of them back to attention and they moved behind me once more. The three of us started heading off in a certain direction, but really there wasn't anything that was guiding us. We were just wandering around in this dungeon, trying to find anything to fight. Our jobs as members of the Abyss Guards was to fight the Abyss Demons and clear them out for the safety of the human race. So it wasn't as if there was anything special that we had to do. However, I also wasn't satisfied with just hunting down small Abyss Demons. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As we were walking, I tapped the badge that was on my chest which caused a small screen to appear. This was one of the special functions of the badge that Abyss Guards received. As for what this screen was for… Name: Lin Fan Contribution: 17 It was two very simple lines that were on the screen, but it was to show the amount of contribution that had been earned as a member of the Abyss Guards. It had been hard to explain it, but Sun Xiang had told us the gist of what it was. It was our way of tapping into the dungeon system and creating a record that showed the number of Abyss Demons that had been killed. Normal Abyss Demons were only worth one point each and I had killed all seventeen of those Abyss Demons from earlier. Though one thing that surprised me was that it had counted even though I controlled the sets of living armour to do it. It was hard to understand how the dungeon knew that I was the one controlling the sets of living armour to kill the Abyss Demons, but it just seemed to know. Regardless, it was also a relief that it knew since this was something that I had been worried about. But seeing the seventeen points that were there, it really felt a bit low. To be promoted to private second class, one had to earn a hundred contribution points. Then to be promoted to private third class, one had to earn two hundred contribution points on top of the hundred that they already earned. For each class in the private rank, one's contribution points quota would increase by a hundred each time. So to even reach private ninth class, one had to have four thousand and five hundred contribution points. After that, it took a thousand points to become a sergeant and the process repeated after that. Though once one reached the sergeant rank, their quota would increase by a thousand points each time. That meant to reach sergeant third class, one had to obtain ten thousand and five hundred points. To put that in terms of these Abyss Demons, it meant that Sun Xiang had killed ten thousand and five hundred Abyss Demons to become a sergeant third class. But of course, it wasn't as if he could have done all of that. First, he wasn't that old in the first place, so he wouldn't have had enough time to take care of that many Abyss Demons. Second, it wasn't as if there were that many Abyss Demons for him to slaughter. Those that became generals had to kill millions of Abyss Demons, so it was impossible for them to do that, or else the war with the Abyss Demons would have already ended a long time ago. It wasn't just the lowest rank Abyss Demons that would give points. The lowest rank Abyss Demons would only give one point each, but there were stronger Abyss Demons and other Abyss creatures that would give far more points. Since I was here, naturally I wanted to raise my rank as high as possible. That would be impossible if I relied on killing the lowest rank Abyss Demons. There just wasn't enough time and there weren't enough of these lowest rank Abyss Demons. It seemed that we had to find a higher priority target. After thinking this through, I turned to look at Wang Rong and Iris, but I found that both of them were looking at me with determined looks on their faces. It was as if they already knew what I was thinking, so they were showing their approval. It seemed that they too had the goal of raising their ranks. Though a part of me had to wonder how the point sharing would work in the end…but I pushed that part of me down. There was no time to create dissension in our team after all. So I said with a firm nod, "Alright, let's find some of the stronger Abyss Demons. We're going after the ones that are worth a ton of points." The two of them nodded in agreement before Iris asked, "How will we find them though?" Wang Rong nodded to show his agreement after hearing this, but I wasn't worried at all. Since I had already come to this conclusion, naturally I had also already figured out the way to find the targets. In fact, it was quite the simple solution, it was just that I didn't think to use this solution previously. There was a part of me that was worried about using this power since it was quite easy for this power to create a misunderstanding. But it wasn't as if it was hard to hide that we were using this. After being in this Abyss for a while, I already had an idea of how this place worked. In that case… "Let's go get some information first." I said with a confident look on my face to the confusion of Iris and Wang Rong.
