While everyone was building up their emotions, Fang Che put on his cloak and mask, and said, "I'll go first, you guys can patrol slowly."

The others nodded with dark expressions and watched Fang Che leave.

After leaving, Fang Che went to the Cursemaster Mission Hall, rented a cultivation room for a month, and then entered the room to silently cultivate while taking pills.

As for the energy in the cultivation room, the absorption efficiency was too low, so Fang Che directly ignored it.

The only purpose of this cultivation room was to provide a safe environment to avoid being attacked by lunatics whose minds were controlled by the cult leader.

No matter how strong those lunatics were, they couldn't kill people in the Mission Hall.

In the following time, Fang Che stayed in the cultivation room, and besides cultivating, he took out the items in his storage ring to carefully admire.

What Fang Che admired the most were the various methods for refining cursed items.

These refining methods were researched by Fang Che using his eyes' abilities before he became a professional, and they had a 100% success rate.

However, to ensure a 100% success rate, the refining of cursed items used many precious materials.

This Butcher Academy area had declined, unable to attract talent, and didn't have that many precious materials.

Fang Che felt exceptionally lucky to be able to refine three cursed items now.

That Soul Manipulator, Gu Ning, might have the precious materials Fang Che needed.

However, Gu Ning was too wealthy; the treasures he possessed might be more than Fang Che had ever heard of.

For example, the token that concealed information about the three cursed items—if Gu Ning hadn't taken it out, Fang Che wouldn't have known such a treasure existed.

If Fang Che actively asked for materials to refine cursed items, he would miss out on this token.

When facing a rich man like Gu Ning, actively making requests was a loss; passively accepting what he offered was the best strategy.

Now, Fang Che just wanted to break through to the third rank quickly, leave this small place, and find materials in a wider area.

Thinking of this, Fang Che was motivated to cultivate, so he immediately put all the items back into his storage ring and cultivated while taking pills.

However, this motivation dissipated quickly, and he once again felt厌烦 towards cultivation.

Fang Che took out various items again and silently admired them.

There were no timing tools in the cultivation room, and Fang Che didn't know how long had passed, but he felt that each cultivation session was particularly long.

One day, the cursed energy in the cultivation room suddenly gathered towards the wall and was absorbed by it.

At the same time, the walls of the cultivation room made a rumbling noise and squeezed inward, making the space smaller and smaller.

Fang Che understood that a month had passed, the usage time of the cultivation room was over, and the Cursemaster Mission Hall was kicking people out.

Fang Che checked his cloak and mask to make sure the disguise was okay, then looked around to make sure he hadn't left anything behind, and finally checked the life-saving items on his body before pushing the door open and walking out of the cultivation room.

Coming to the alley outside, Fang Che walked towards the academy.

Now that a month had passed, Fang Che was going to the academy to find Lü Jing, collect next month's patrol commission, and ask for ten more life-saving items.

However, after walking for a while, Fang Che found that the other streets had returned to their former prosperity.

This meant that the lunatics controlled by the cult leader had been resolved.

Fang Che was slightly disappointed and returned to the Blue Sky Squad, taking off his mask.

"Good day, Vice-Captain."

"Good day, Vice-Captain."

As soon as Fang Che entered the Blue Sky Squad, the first-rank professionals greeted Fang Che with smiles, their eyes revealing eagerness.

"You too," Fang Che nodded in response, knowing very well that they hadn't been so enthusiastic before.

Now they were so enthusiastic only because Fang Che had promised to help them exchange resources for free.

And this was also the reason for Fang Che's return.

Fang Che quickened his pace and soon arrived at the room where the second-rank professionals gathered.

Walking into the room, the second-rank professionals looked at Fang Che expressionlessly.

After Fang Che closed the door, everyone stood up with smiles and cupped their hands, saying, "Vice-Captain, you're back."

"Vice-Captain, you've worked hard these past few days."

Fang Che nodded slightly and said, "I asked you to collect the items that the first-rank professionals need to exchange. Have you prepared them?"

"We've prepared them." A second-rank professional took out a storage ring and a notebook and handed them directly to Fang Che.

Fang Che put away the two items and continued to ask, "When were those lunatics causing trouble outside resolved?"

A second-rank professional replied, "Half a month ago, the Soul Manipulator invited a third-rank Thinker over. The Thinker released a golden light, and all the lunatics nearby surrendered.

Only then did everyone realize that these lunatics who were killing people everywhere were being controlled by the cult leader. Now that the lunatics have surrendered, the area is stable again."

Fang Che nodded slightly and said, "I see. I'll go to the academy to exchange resources now. Wait here, and you can distribute the resources to everyone when I get back."

Everyone said in unison, "Understood."

Fang Che turned and pushed the door open. The second-rank professionals instantly retracted their smiles and watched Fang Che leave expressionlessly.

The protective shield outside Butcher Academy had disappeared, and Fang Che easily arrived at the benefits office to exchange various resources.

Just as he was about to leave, Fang Che saw Ling Jie walking into the benefits office.

Seeing Ling Jie, Fang Che asked with some excitement, "The mission is completed?"

Ling Jie nodded with a tired expression and replied, "It's completed. Everyone who survived is back. I'm here to submit the mission, and the others have gone back to rest."

Then, Ling Jie asked curiously, "What are you here for?"

Fang Che smiled and said, "I'll tell you when we get back. You submit the mission first."

Ling Jie nodded, walked to the administrator, took out a pile of storage rings, and said:

"Our Blue Sky Squad lost two-fifths of its professionals. According to the contract, for every person who dies, the resources we need to collect will be reduced by a portion.

After deducting those resources, the remaining resources are all here, plus the resources that those people brought back before. Not a single item is missing. Please check them."

The administrator nodded and carefully checked the resources in the storage rings.

Fang Che, who was on the side, heard that two-fifths of the professionals were lost, and his expression became much more serious.

Previously, Ling Jie and the others had plundered one-third of the resources in the Blue Tiger clan's territory and allowed one-third of the professionals to leave.

If it weren't for that one-third of the resources, the Blue Sky Squad's mortality rate would definitely exceed half.

This mortality rate is too high.

However, after thinking for a moment, Fang Che realized that such a high mortality rate was very normal.

The purpose of this mission was to collect resources. To complete the mission quickly, they had to act separately, and the mortality rate for acting separately was always high.

If they gathered together, the resource collection mission couldn't have been completed so quickly.

In addition, the Blue Sky Squad didn't have any third-rank professionals. If they had gathered together, perhaps no one would have come out alive.
