All My Disciples Are Insane!

"I won!" He Yiming couldn't help but rejoice.

Sure, he'd fought Spiritual Vein Realm demonic beasts before with his academy classmates, but this War Hunchback Beast was the strongest he'd ever taken down solo,and he'd actually pulled it off!

Gaga!

But just as He Yiming was about to celebrate, the War Hunchback Beast's eyes flashed with a fierce red light. Even at death's door, it raised its hooves and lashed out at him with its last ounce of strength!

In a instance it's hooves appeared inch's from his face.

Boom!

He Yiming barely managed to reinforce his defenses in time, but the impact still sent him flying over a dozen meters, crashing through several trees.

"Damn it! I got careless!" He Yiming coughed up blood and struggled to stand. His entire body throbbed with pain.

If he hadn't instinctively reinforced his defenses, that counterattack would've crippled,or even killed,him on the spot. The War Hunchback Beast's final strike was no joke.

The beast, however, had reached its limit. After its last desperate attack, its body stiffened,and then it finally breathed its last.

"Damn show-off!"

"Brother Ming! Holy shit, he actually solo-ed it!"

"This fight had everything.Twists, turns, an epic counterattack! Fucking incredible!"

The players stared in stunned silence. But the moment He Yiming stood up, the entire area erupted in excitement.

"Everyone, this is a War Hunchback Beast!" He Yiming's voice carried across the crowd.

"With your current strength, you are no match for it. Even this Sect Master suffered a counterattack due to a moment's carelessness!

"For today, our expedition ends here. This area will remain open, but I warn you,do not engage with a War Hunchback Beast lightly!"

He paused, then added, "Alright, carry it back to the sect."

His tone was calm, as if all of this was just part of a planned storyline.

After all, he couldn't just admit that he lacked enough real combat experience and got injured because of his own carelessness, right? Wouldn't that be embarrassing as a Sect Master?

"I rate this battle 101 points,1 extra point for Brother Ming's handsome face."

"Fuck, no matter how lonely you are, you shouldnt go for npcs!"

"Can we eat this War Hunchback Beast? Let's bring it back and make hotpot!"

"All you do is eat! This thing's bones, teeth, and even its hide are top-tier crafting materials!"

"Alright then, don't come begging when I turn it into a hotpot."

"… Big bro, forgive me."

Excited discussions filled the air as the players worked together to carry the beast's corpse back to the sect.

Once they returned, He Yiming immediately issued instructions.

"You, go grab some cooking tools from the kitchen."

After all, while the players' bodies were generated by the system, they were still human. They needed to eat, drink, and rest. They could even die from hunger or exhaustion.

The War Hunchback Beast he had fought so hard to kill shouldn't be wasted.

"Eating its flesh will strengthen your bodies," He Yiming explained. "Its bones and teeth can also be used in cultivation. As for its hide… it starts decaying right after death, so it's hard to refine into usable equipment."

With that, he pulled some spices from his storage pouch.

"Brother Ming! Let me help! I can make the best hotpot!"

A player named Bite the Young Master ran up excitedly.

He found a rusty kitchen knife, sharpened it a little, then started slicing the beast's meat with practiced ease. His fluid motions spoke of years of experience.

He Yiming narrowed his eyes.

Was this guy here to cultivate… or was he just here for a feast?

"I'll light the fire!"

"I'll chop the wood!"

"Big bro, let me help you eat"

A dozen hungry players swarmed the meat, busying themselves with preparations.

He Yiming let them be. The beast's corpse was large enough to feed everyone for a few days. At least he wouldn't have to worry about them complaining about food.

More importantly, he needed to rest. His injuries weren't light.

Just as he was about to leave, a system notification appeared.

[Friendly Reminder: The host can divide tasks and assign sub-missions to disciples!]

[The mission will be considered complete once all assigned tasks are fulfilled!]

"Oh?Finally time to put this players to work !"

He Yiming smirked.

After all, the players wouldn't truly die if they got killed. Worst case, they'd just respawn.

"I can even create a sect currency,Contribution Points!

"They'll earn Contribution Points by completing missions. Later, when I have valuable resources, I can let them exchange points for rewards.

"This way… I don't have to spend a single spirit stone! It's a free labor force! Absolutely perfect!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Without hesitation, He Yiming issued a mission.

[Sect Mission: War Hunchback Beast]

[Target: Kill a War Hunchback Beast and bring its corpse back to the sect square]

[Reward:100 Sect Contribution Points]

Then, without another word, he turned and entered the secret chamber to recuperate.

The moment the mission notification popped up, the players,who had been enjoying their hotpot,froze.

"Damn! It's here! A real quest!"

"Kill a War Hunchback Beast? Fuck, is this really the first mission?"

"I don't even have a weapon! How the hell am I supposed to fight?"

The players were thrown into chaos.

But despite the difficulty, almost all of them accepted the mission.

At that moment, Beef Noodle, who had just recreated his character, clenched his fists.

"NO WAY I LOST IN ONE HIT!!!"

"I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS!"

Without hesitation, he sprinted down the mountain.

… Half an incense stick's time later.

"The fuck…"

Beef Noodle respawned at the sect's portal, his face dark.He had died even faster than the time it took him to run down the road.

Just then, a player named Star stepped forward, raising his voice.

"Everyone! I have an idea!"

"?"

The players turned to look at him.

What's this guy planning?
