God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

"You are not wrong. If you go out alone but receive help from other Sequence Ability users, the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau will indeed notice, and you will face very severe punishment."

"When a solo Sequence Ability user finishes a hunt and reaches the safe zone exit, the Bureau officers responsible for inspecting the remains of the gods will conduct a lie detection test, a memory continuity test, and upload your god-hunting results to the 'Godslayer Camp' under the 'Solo Hunt Points' section."

"The lie detection test will ask you only one question: 'Did you hunt these gods alone?' The purpose is to confirm that, in your memory, you completed the god hunt alone."

"The memory continuity test verifies that your memory has not been rewritten by Sequence Ability users like 'Writers' or 'Soul Capturers' who can alter memories."

"The data upload to the forum encourages witnesses to report violations. If a report is successfully proven, the reporting Sequence Ability user will receive a reward."

"With these three strict defensive measures, no one can cheat."

"I see, I understand now. So, how will you help me?"

"I will leave the safe zone with you. Outside, when you encounter a god you can hunt, I will tell you about its characteristics, habits, and attack methods. After that, you will act on your own."

"If you fail to hunt the god or encounter danger, I will use 'Earth Bind' to restrain the god and then use 'Primal Totem' to replenish your strength, allowing you to escape quickly and ensuring your safety."

"In other words, outside the safe zone, just like in 'Ju'an School,' I will play the role of a mentor who protects you."

'Mentor?'

For some reason, when Qin Siyang heard this word, he found it somewhat amusing.

As the corners of his mouth lifted, he saw a self-deprecating smile also appear on Li Tianming's face.

"Principal Li, is this really okay?"

"I'm not helping you kill gods, so what's the problem? In developed areas of the safe zone, many aristocratic children complete their solo god-hunting missions this way. Moreover, a role like mine even has a specific title—'Insurer.' It means providing insurance for solo teams."

"I see. Then I must thank Principal Li in advance."

"Not necessary. We are helping each other. But let's be clear—I won't help you for free indefinitely. As your 'Insurer,' the points are yours, but you have to give me half of the money you earn."

"With double the points, even if you only get half the monetary reward, you're still making a profit."

Giving up half the money?

A Sequence Level 3 'Shaman' accompanying him outside the safe zone just to ensure his safety—taking half of the money was entirely reasonable. Qin Siyang even felt it was a bit too little.

"Alright, no problem."

"Also, I need to see your progress. I'm not helping you hunt gods for the money—it's because you will help me find the 'Deceiver.' Do you understand?"

"If I make progress, I'll let you know immediately."

"Good."

"So, when do we start hunting gods? This weekend?"

"You are now a Sequence Ability user. Attending classes and going to school are meaningless to you. Let's start tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, come to the school, and we'll take Bus No. 38324 to the safe zone exit and begin hunting gods."

"Taking the bus? Principal Li, I don't have that much money…"

Li Tianming rolled his eyes at him. He knew this cunning kid must have a way to get money but was just playing dumb in front of him.

However, a wandering orphan, even after recently awakening a Sequence, was still just a wandering orphan.

If he suddenly had money, he would have to make up an excuse. That might cause unnecessary trouble.

"Forget it. A few copper coins are nothing. I'll cover it. But you better find a reasonable way to earn money soon—you can't expect me to always pay for your fare."

"Hehe, once I kill a god outside the safe zone tomorrow, I'll have money. No need for any excuses."

"You're quite confident."

"If we start tomorrow, what do I need to prepare?"

"Go to the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau to collect cold-resistant clothing, a Sequence blade, and your first Sequence potion."

"Alright."

Without waiting for school to end, Qin Siyang briefly chatted with Li Tianming a bit more, then immediately headed to the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau. As he was about to arrive, he sent a message to Qian Wenzhao.

Qian Wenzhao quickly replied to him, ["Just come directly to my office."]

Qin Siyang stepped into the Management Bureau building.

Although this was not his first time here, he was still shocked by the understated luxury of the interior.

He hoped that in the near future, he could also live this kind of life.

Walking toward the corner office on the second floor, he saw that Qian Wenzhao's desk already had an orange-and-white cold-resistant suit laid out, along with a god-hunting dagger and a bottle of Sequence potion.

Qian Wenzhao, meanwhile, was staring at his computer, typing away, seemingly very busy.

"You're here."

"Yeah."

"Sit down. I have some things to finish, wait a moment."

"Alright."

After a while, with the crisp sound of the Enter key being pressed, Qian Wenzhao let out a long breath and then looked at Qin Siyang.

"You decided to hunt gods so quickly?"

"I'm already a bit late. I need to hurry and accumulate god-hunting points."

Qian Wenzhao smiled, "So urgent—are you aiming for the top university?"

"Yes. Otherwise, I'd be letting myself down."

Qian Wenzhao nodded.

Qin Siyang's response aligned with his expectations for his identity.

A fallen noble from the Outer Lands—of course, he would want to restore his former glory and prove wrong those who once looked down on him.

'Young people—if they could let go of everything, would they still be young?'

Qian Wenzhao then asked with concern, "Have you found a god-hunting team? You need to be extremely cautious when choosing one. With your orphan status, you could easily become a target."

"I haven't joined a god-hunting team. I'm forming a solo team."

"A solo team?", Qian Wenzhao was a bit surprised, "Do you have experience hunting gods?"

"No."

"Then how do you dare go alone?"

"Forming a solo team doesn't mean going alone."

Qian Wenzhao immediately licked his dry lips, "You… found an 'Insurer'?"

Qin Siyang smiled and asked in return, "Surprised?"

"Not surprised, not surprised."

Although Qian Wenzhao's face remained calm, he was deeply shocked inside.

He had heard of the profession of "Insurers"—high-level, experienced Sequence Ability users who ensured the safety of newcomers forming solo teams.

However, hiring an "Insurer" wasn't just a matter of money.

A high-ranking Sequence Ability user would never lack money.

One had to offer massive benefits in exchange to secure a reliable "Insurer."

This wasn't a resource an ordinary person could obtain.

Was Qin Siyang about to make his move?

Should he take a gamble and hitch a ride on Qin Siyang's rise before he fully took off?
