Qin Siyang and Hu Chan's points had to be submitted to the Administration for evaluation.
Director Qian Wenzhao of the Administration worked tirelessly. He reviewed the report overtime as soon as he received it, so by the time Qin Siyang returned to the guesthouse, the points had already been credited.
He checked the changes to his information in the Godslayer Camp.
[God Hunting Points: 25634]
[God Hunting Points Ranking: 20645]
"My points increased by seventy thousand, and my ranking only went up by a bit over six thousand," He smacked his lips, "Looks like the higher the ranking gets, the harder it is to move up. So the top point grinders from the schools and military probably have some insane number of points by now. What a boring thing to do."
Qin Siyang had originally planned to gain some reputation through improving his points ranking.
But after seeing that his ranking was still floating around twenty thousand, he gave up on the idea.
The competition on the god hunting points track was just too fierce.
From now on, earning points would just be something done along the way. It definitely wasn't worth putting the cart before the horse and doing it on purpose.
While resting, Qin Siyang received a text from Zhao Longfei.
[Qin Yu's corpse received. Her superior has also been caught. Once I find time to examine their memories, I'll talk with you.]
"As expected of Principal Zhao," Qin Siyang smiled, "I really didn't think he could find the superior from the Samsara Cult just by tracing a phone signal. Damn! If he sets his sights on someone, they really can't do anything about it."
As for District Chief Kafu and the Richard family behind him, Qin Siyang honestly did not care much.
The only thing that could fight a force was another force on the same level. It could never be just one person.
Inside District 7, every move made by the Richard family was aimed at stopping the Zhao family's influence from growing, then weakening or even toppling the Zhao family.
Since it involved their own survival, the Zhao family would definitely go all out dealing with it. Helping personally would just waste time.
At most, like last time, he could give his own opinion on certain matters and offer the Zhao brothers a completely different angle. Whether it was useful or not was out of his hands.
After washing up, Qin Siyang took a deep breath, "Get a good night's sleep. I still have to get up early tomorrow for Professor Lister's class."

[Gregorian Calendar, Tuesday]
[Lunar Calendar, Gengyin Year, Seventh Month, Twenty-Ninth Day. Suitable for installing doors, building stoves, tailoring clothes. Avoid construction work, avoid coffin assembly.]
Qin Siyang once again arrived at the classroom right on time for Lister's course, Analysis of Sequence Abilities.
As expected, the other five brothers were already waiting in the front row.
Once again, he sat down under everyone's attention.
Lister stood straight at the podium like a tree.
His brown hair was slicked neatly back, and his golden eyes swept across the classroom. They lingered on Qin Siyang for a few extra seconds before moving away.
Qin Siyang had never directly interacted with Lister. They only had one indirect encounter.
Outside the safe zone, his student Jason had been controlled by Guo Jiuxiao and sent to assassinate Li Tianming, only to be killed by Li Tianming instead. After returning to the safe zone, Li Tianming handed Jason's corpse over to the furious Lister.
Other than that unpleasant incident, they had no other contact.
Qin Siyang remembered that Lister and Jason's father had been comrades in the military. He had accepted the responsibility of raising Jason after his comrade's death, but Jason died unexpectedly, which left him grief-stricken and furious.
'So he was in the military… no wonder he carries himself so firmly,' Qin Siyang looked at Lister standing perfectly straight at the podium the whole time and thought to himself.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Class starts now. First, the requirements for this course."
"This course has no textbook, no materials, and no course slides. I will only say everything once. I will not repeat myself. After class, I will not answer questions, and my laboratory is not open to first-year students, so don't come looking for me afterward to ask questions or try to build connections."
"The two classes before the final exam will be used specifically for answering questions. Questions will be answered in order of arrival. I will answer until class ends and will not extend the session. If you have questions, arrive early for the Q&A class."
"As for classroom discipline and attendance, there are no restrictions. As long as you don't disturb others during class."
Lister's stern voice and expressionless face made the entire classroom silent.
He still stood upright at the podium without moving or writing anything on the board. He simply spoke coldly.
"The reason sequence abilities awaken is still under research. At present, there is no method that can make an ordinary person awaken a sequence ability with one hundred percent certainty."
At this moment, Fu Wanli in the front row asked, "Teacher, then is there any way to increase the chances of ordinary people awakening sequence abilities?"
Lister looked down at Fu Wanli from the podium, "If you interrupt me with another question, I'll have to ask you to leave."
"Sorry," Fu Wanli nodded repeatedly and admitted his mistake.
Fu Wanli did not know the method to increase the chances of awakening sequence abilities in ordinary people, but the five people beside him all knew a little about it.
Everyone understood clearly that this was the most important information barrier, and there was no way it would be openly discussed.
Lister continued, "There is no conclusion regarding sequence awakening, so this course will not discuss it. We will directly cover sequence knowledge. Today, I'll first introduce some general concepts."
"There are over a thousand sequences, and every sequence has its own abilities. The categories are extremely varied. Basically every sequence can find some place within the safe zone where its abilities can be used."
"Different sequences not only have different skills, but also receive different rewards when their sequence level increases."
"When a sequence level rises, there are three kinds of rewards. First, physical strength growth. Second, obtaining a new skill. Third, improving an existing skill."
"Before opening path of the believer, every sequence ability user will definitely receive the first reward when leveling up. As for the second and third rewards, only one of them can be obtained. Which one it is depends on the user's sequence."
"The increase in physical ability is reflected in all aspects, such as strength, speed, agility, perception, resistance to attacks, and so on."
"Awakening a sequence ability increases physical ability by five times. Going from level one to level two increases it by another two times. Level three increases it by another three times. Level four adds another three times. Level five increases it by another five times. Individuals may differ slightly, but fluctuations will not exceed ten percent."
At this moment, one student instinctively asked, "Then level six—"
Before finishing the question, he realized he was not supposed to ask questions during class and covered his mouth.
Lister glanced at the student.
The student looked nervous, worried that Lister would throw him out of the classroom.
But Lister did not order him to leave. Instead, his gaze shifted onto Qin Siyang.
Then he said, "From level five to level six, there is no increase in physical ability at all."
