Chapter 34: The Mysterious Designated Task

  Super Taobao sodu

  Comprehensive combat power: 297

  Strength: 99

  Speed: 99

  Mental Power: 99

  Ye Feng looked at his combat stats, furrowing his brow, "It's been over a dozen days already, and I haven't made any progress whatsoever... it seems like I've hit a bottleneck..."

  "Xiao Feng, what's wrong? You've been doing great on your tasks these past few days, why the long face?" Captain William looked at Ye Feng with some curiosity. "Although you're not yet at the Silver rank, all you need is to complete five more C-rank tasks on your own and you'll be there. At your current efficiency, it'll take no more than three months for you to become a Silver-ranked Hunter just like Yi Fan and the others. Then we can start taking on higher-difficulty B-rank tasks as a team... You don't need to rush at all."

  "Captain, I'm not unhappy about this, but I feel like I've reached a bottleneck recently. My strength hasn't improved at all during this period of time... This situation has been going on for almost two weeks..." Ye Feng shook his head and sat down beside William on the sofa.

  "Isn't it normal to encounter bottlenecks? Maybe your strength has made a slight improvement, you just haven't noticed it yet." William smiled without much concern, "I think your current strength is much stronger than when you first joined us four months ago."

  Seeing William say that, Ye Feng didn't say anything more. After all, he hadn't planned on telling William and the others that he possessed an instrument capable of detecting energy values. As for the secrets of the Void Domain, he completely agreed with Boyi's point of view - to not let anyone know as much as possible. The energy detector was from the Void Domain, and when the time came, it would inevitably bring him unnecessary trouble.

  "What's up?" Yifan, after Ye Feng this Chinese fellow joined his team, didn't stare at the computer every day like he used to. He occasionally participated in everyone's chat. At this moment, he was pushing off with both feet on the wheel chair and slid over from in front of the computer.

  "Oh, right, Yi Ge, you should know some Chinese martial artists, shouldn't you?" Ye Feng suddenly asked.

  "Know a few, what's up?" Yifan looked at Ye Feng with some curiosity.

  "I saw something online a few days ago about congenital martial artists and acquired martial artists, saying that acquired martial artists who want to break through to the congenital level will experience a bottleneck. I think my own situation might be similar to this bottleneck. I want to know where the boundary between congenital and acquired lies?" Ye Feng vaguely sensed that something was happening to his body.

  "That's right, even if a human body is trained to its limit, it can only withstand ten times the strength of an ordinary human. Anything beyond that is considered non-human, because ten times is a critical point. However, there are some people who have a special physique from birth or have broken through this limit through certain opportunities, such as us, and those martial artists and ability users. Of course, their physical load will also reach a state of extreme limits, which is twenty times the endurance of ordinary people. Martial artists call this boundary the Innate Boundary, because after breaking through this state, there is no bottleneck for a long time." Yifan told Ye Feng everything he knew without reservation.

  "There is indeed," William interrupted Yifan's continued explanation, "After I broke through the congenital bottleneck of the Eastern Warrior back then, my strength advanced rapidly for a very long time. Until it approached about 100 times that of an ordinary human, I encountered a new bottleneck. Because my strength had advanced so quickly before, I clearly discovered that I had encountered a new bottleneck. It took me almost a year to break through that bottleneck, and my strength only rose again, but the momentum was much slower than before."

  "What the boss said is exactly the bottleneck I'm facing now..." Kristen put down the Bible in his hand and joined the discussion.

  "It's okay, adjust your mindset, don't try to do anything on purpose, go with the flow, and you'll break through soon!" William winked at Kristen.

  Cary remained as silent as an iceberg, sitting far away from everyone else with a blank expression. In the four months since Ye Feng arrived, she had spoken no more than three sentences in total. Usually, she would only respond to people's questions with nods and headshakes.

  "That is to say, what I am encountering now should be a bottleneck similar to the one that Wu Zhe said leads from acquired skills to innate abilities." Ye Feng made this judgment based on the discussion of several people.

  "It should be alright now, your speed and strength are no longer much inferior to mine, and although I'm a rookie, I'm also a rookie who has broken through the innate boundary." Yifan said with self-deprecation.

  However, I think Yee's mental strength has increased rapidly over the past few months. Ye Feng had secretly used a detector to check everyone's growth values, and in the past four months, Yi Fan's growth was the fastest. His original mental strength was 221, but the result of the measurement a few days ago had actually increased to 389, almost doubling.

  "And also Sister Carrie has become much stronger!" Ye Feng turned his head to look at Carrie, who smiled and nodded at him.

  "My mental strength has increased, but it's probably still not at the level of a normal person's mental strength multiplied by 100. As Lao Da said, 100 times is likely to be a bottleneck. After breaking through 100 times, the growth rate will slow down." Yi Fan didn't dare to boast in front of such a strong person like William.

  Just as everyone was discussing it enthusiastically, Yi Fan's computer, which had not been paid attention to, suddenly made a "beeping" sound.

  Yi Fan turned his head back to look at the computer with some surprise.

  "What's wrong?" Ye Feng asked with some curiosity, he had never heard Yi Fan's computer make this sound before.

  "This is a designated task, only issued when the employer actively assigns a specific team to complete the task. Generally, these are familiar customers. Let's see who it is..."

  Yi Fan said, pushing the stool back with his feet and returning to the keyboard, opening HUNTER's homepage.

  After entering the account and password, a dialog box popped up on the page like this:

  Honorable Judgment Squad

  Customer "Dragon" has issued a specified task to your squad, would you like to check it?

  "Dragon?" Yifan turned his head in confusion and looked at William, "Boss, this guy doesn't seem to be our old customer, does he?"

  "We rarely receive tasks from China, as there are also many capable hunters in mainland China..." William nodded, "Open it and take a look, since we were specified, it shouldn't be a mistake..."

  Sorry about this chapter being late!
