Chapter 171: After the revision: Chapter 138 Lu Sheng’s actions, with various thoughts, Du Bai’s gift, control over the Giant Divine Soldier!

"Senior Sister!"

Seeing Mu Qingqing appear in front of him, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but ask.

"Senior Brother Du Bai... What exactly is going on?"

Mu Qingqing looked at Lu Sheng, her expression slightly helpless, but she still told Lu Sheng everything she knew.

"I’m not very clear about the specifics of the task Du Bai was carrying out. I only saw Du Bai’s name in the search mission released by the faction, and that’s how I learned about Du Bai’s disappearance."

"Du Bai was carrying out a frontline task released by the faction. These tasks span a long period, and coupled with the complexities of the frontline factors, it’s easy to encounter communication issues. So, for the faction, Du Bai’s disappearance is not uncommon."

"Moreover, the faction has already issued a search mission. For each person found, there’s a reward of three thousand credits. So don’t worry too much."

Mu Qingqing spoke softly, also intending to comfort Lu Sheng.

Listening to Mu Qingqing’s words, Lu Sheng slightly furrowed his brow, opened his watch, entered the Life Factions’ task center, and found the search mission section.

Sure enough, in the search missions, he saw the faction’s mission to find Du Bai and others.

Du Bai’s frontline task wasn’t a solo mission; there were two other Life Faction students completing this task with Du Bai.

Like Du Bai, the other two students also went missing during this mission.

However, Lu Sheng found a difference; under Du Bai’s name, the credits for retrieval were three thousand, while the credits for the other two students were five to six thousand.

"Senior Sister... Why are the retrieval credits different for Senior Brother Du Bai and the other two?"

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but look at Mu Qingqing and inquire.

Mu Qingqing explained, "When a student goes missing, it naturally attracts the attention of their friends and family. Besides the faction’s reward credits, their friends and family may add extra credit rewards."

"Typically, the faction supports this because it’s best to retrieve these students, who are part of the faction."

"And the faction doubles the extra credits added by the missing students’ friends and family. For example, if a missing student’s friends add one thousand credits, completing the retrieval task will earn two thousand extra credits."

"As for Du Bai..."

Mu Qingqing looked at Lu Sheng, her expression slightly helpless.

"Senior Brother Du Bai is quite a good person, but he has no background within the Life Factions. He originally came from a small asteroid in the Human Federation."

"Because of this, Senior Brother Du Bai took thirty years to earn the credits for the Giant Divine Soldier. Now, it’s no exaggeration to say that Senior Brother Du Bai is penniless."

"No one is willing to spend credits to retrieve Senior Brother Du Bai. Even if he is found, repaying those credits would be problematic."

"The other two students, although not highly connected, are much better off than Senior Brother Du Bai. They have their friends’ and some local forces’ support."

"So..."

Mu Qingqing felt somewhat awkward as she said this. Although she was taken care of by Du Bai before, she couldn’t afford to add extra credits.

Listening to Mu Qingqing’s words, Lu Sheng fell silent.

Lu Sheng thought of Zhang Lei and those students previously taken care of by Du Bai, but none of them were willing to add extra credits, not even a few or dozens.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and forced a slight smile at Mu Qingqing.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Mu Qingqing looked at Lu Sheng’s reluctant smile, sighed slightly in her heart, nodded, and ended the communication, her figure disappearing from Lu Sheng’s view.

After ending the communication, Lu Sheng looked at Du Bai’s search mission. No one had taken on Du Bai’s retrieval task yet, while the other two students’ tasks had already been taken.

Lu Sheng understood the situation.

Firstly, Du Bai, possessing the Giant Divine Soldier and comparable to a mid-stage Tier Five Transcendent, went missing, indicating the mission’s difficulty.

Secondly, three thousand credits weren’t enough to entice other students to take risks.

Unless... extra credits were added!

Having thought for a long time, Lu Sheng looked at Du Bai’s name and chose to add fifteen hundred extra credits.

These fifteen hundred credits were currently unused by Lu Sheng. His Life and Death Technique had been improved to level four, making the Life and Death Fruit less effective.

This was a token of Lu Sheng’s sincerity. If Du Bai were not retrieved, the faction would return the added credits to Lu Sheng.

If Du Bai were found...

That would be the best outcome. Over the long time he had been in the Life Factions, Du Bai’s care for him was genuine.

This was the only thing Lu Sheng could do.

As for personally searching, Lu Sheng wouldn’t do it. He didn’t have the strength to take such risks, and searching personally would only lead to death.

But if it only required spending some credits, Lu Sheng was willing.
