Chapter 231: Contribution task, competing for the number one output spot!

Li Yao made a shushing gesture.

Xiao Hei reacted immediately, looked around, and seeing that no one had noticed his voice just now, he let out a sigh of relief.

Senior Li Yao's live broadcast had been blurred by the Federation.

Only a few people knew Senior Li Yao's appearance.

Fortunately, it was noisy here, and no one heard!

Xiao Hei walked in front of Li Yao with an apologetic face:

"Sorry."

"It's fine," Li Yao waved his hand. "You just said you were looking for me, what's the matter?"

"I received a contribution task."

Xiao Hei first looked at Li Yao respectfully, then went straight to the point:

"I came here to see if there are still spots in the Core Jianyan Caverns today."

Helping Li Yao with things these days, Xiao Hei had also roughly understood Li Yao's personality.

Except for when he had just woken up in the morning, he was very easy to get along with on weekdays!

"Oh? Is it a task for the Core Jianyan Caverns?"

Li Yao's eyes lit up.

"That's right! Was Senior Li Yao planning to farm the Core Jianyan Caverns himself?"

Xiao Hei asked.

Li Yao nodded.

Xiao Hei: "There are no spots left for today, but I've already contacted a student. Senior Li Yao can spend 300 points to buy today's spot."

"That won't be necessary; I've already reserved one."

"That saves a sum." Xiao Hei handed the prepared report in his hand to Li Yao.

"These are the specific requirements for the contribution task. Take a look, Senior. I'll go call the person who posted the task over."

"Alright, sorry for the trouble."

Li Yao took a glance.

The task was not complicated.

Help the team of the person who posted the task reach first place on the damage leaderboard, and you get the contribution.

The reward is 200 contribution points.

At the end, it was explicitly stated that as long as Senior Li Yao participates, they are willing to add an extra 100 contribution points.

A child from a wealthy family, indeed.

Li Yao sighed.

For a contribution task to attract top-tier students, one must pay Some Jingyu a quite exorbitant fee to be eligible to open it.

Soon.

A youth with a thick beard and a somewhat mature appearance, carrying a long bow on his back, followed Xiao Hei to stand before Li Yao.

The mature-looking youth looked at Li Yao, his breathing somewhat rapid.

Like a sheltered young lady, he tugged at Xiao Hei's sleeve and asked in a low voice:

"Is he Senior Li Yao?"

Xiao Hei asked back with a smile: "In our Some Jingyu Martial Academy, who would dare to impersonate Senior Li Yao?"

"Uh, it seems no one would dare."

The mature-looking youth quickly stood at attention: "Senior Li Yao, hello."

"I am Zhang Zhang Liyu from the Jingcheng Zhang family. Zhang Yucheng has mentioned you to me many times."

"The Zhang family, Zhang Yucheng?" Li Yao was stunned.

"Zhang Zhang Yucheng is my cousin."

"Then why do you call me Senior?" Li Yao said with annoyance, "Zhang Zhang Yucheng is my friend; you can just call me by my name."

"In Some Jingyu Martial Academy, whoever has the stronger strength is the Senior."

Zhang Zhang Liyu brought out the same rhetoric Xiao Hei had used earlier.

Seeing Li Yao about to speak again, Zhang Zhang Liyu quickly said:

"It's like this: the Core Jianyan Cavern allows a team of up to six. I want to ask, Senior, do you have the confidence to take first place in damage solo?"

"Don't consider my damage; I am a fire-attribute hunter, and my damage in the Core Jianyan Cavern is very low."

"If you are confident, I can choose not to invite others and only invite you, Senior. That way, the contribution points for five people can all go to you."

"Of course, that extra reward is only one portion, so it's 1100 contribution points in total."

Four-digit contribution points.

Must say, Li Yao was tempted.

But he still had to clarify things first.

Li Yao had never been to the Core Jianyan Cavern.

He didn't know what the reward for first place in damage was.

"Before taking this task, let me ask: what exactly is the reward for this so-called first place in damage?"

"Senior doesn't know?" Zhang Zhang Liyu was somewhat surprised, "It's a BOSS-exclusive weapon. This week's drop is a long bow. For a fire-attribute hunter, its strength is roughly Dark Gold grade, not yet Epic grade."

"Then I have no problem."

Li Yao chuckled.

What he wanted was a fire-attribute supreme treasure.

"So, there's no need to invite other members?"

Zhang Zhang Liyu asked tentatively.

"Mm." Li Yao nodded and looked at Xiao Hei to the side, "Send me your ID card. I'll transfer the payment for the previous few times and the 1100 points for this time to you."

"Alright, then I shall take my leave."

After Xiao Hei left, Zhang Zhang Liyu looked troubled.

"Uh, that..."

"Senior, I feel I should clarify something first."

"1100 contribution points is the price for not inviting other students. If Senior thinks it's fine not to invite them, but fails to complete the task in the end..."

"Not only will there be no contribution points, but you will also need to compensate me with a Dark Gold grade long bow."

"This point has already been noted in the task agreement."

Li Yao had looked at the report earlier; that rule did indeed exist.

One can only say, contribution points aren't that easy to earn.

Zhang Zhang Liyu was truly at his wit's end; the national border trial selection was about to start, and he still didn't have a suitable weapon.

His authority level wasn't high enough to buy Dark Gold grade equipment.

He could only pin his hopes on this trip to the Core Jianyan Cavern.

"No problem." Li Yao agreed.

A level 35 dungeon.

Accessible from level 30 to 40.

At this stage, in terms of damage alone, Li Yao believed no other professional could compare to him.

Not even a six-person team!

Zhang Zhang Liyu trusted Li Yao's strength immensely; if the other party agreed, it meant there was definitely no problem!

"In that case, let's sign the contract."

Zhang Zhang Liyu asked for Li Yao's contact information and then sent over a contract.

Li Yao signed it, and the contract officially took effect.

Help Zhang Zhang Liyu get first place on the damage leaderboard and obtain the BOSS-exclusive weapon.

Li Yao, in turn, would receive 1100 contribution points.

Time was up, and the dungeon opened.

More than half of the students in the room vanished instantly.

Zhang Zhang Liyu invited Li Yao to the team and then stepped into the vortex.

【Current dungeon is Core Jianyan Cavern (Level 35)】

【Dungeon restrictions: Level 30—40; 1—6 people】

【Large-scale competitive dungeon, no difficulty selection】

【This week's rewards: First: Yanye Long Bow; Second: Yanye Set Top piece; Third: (Note: BOSS-exclusive equipment, cannot be traded)】

"Hot."

This was Li Yao's first reaction.

If the Life-Breath Pool dungeon was humid and hot, this place was dry heat—a scorching heat!

The surrounding environment was dim.

Wisps of crimson light flickered on and off.

Like the red glow from a red-hot iron block, it emerged from the rock walls or stones, and oppressive heat waves rushed toward them from time to time.

Li Yao surveyed the surrounding environment while frowning in thought.

The Core Jianyan Cavern is a competitive dungeon, and the first-place reward is a BOSS-exclusive weapon.

Then, the fire-attribute supreme treasure that Senior Xue mentioned...

How should one obtain it?
