Although his voice was small, the Blind Judge at his waist made everyone immediately realize his identity.
In an instant, the surroundings fell completely silent.
A person's name casts a long shadow.
Not everyone had seen Qin Siyang in person, but everyone had heard of his stories.
Immediately, some people gathered behind Qin Siyang, wanting to see the results of his latest god-hunting endeavor.
"What are you squeezing in here for? Trying to cut the line?"
"Who's cutting in? I'm just standing outside the line. I just came over to take a look!"
Because of Qin Siyang's arrival, the orderly line waiting for verification immediately became chaotic, with everyone crowding around him instead.
The person originally at the front of the line, upon seeing Qin Siyang cutting ahead, instinctively clutched their small backpack, as if afraid that their meager results would embarrass them in front of everyone.
They respectfully smiled at Qin Siyang, "Please, go ahead! You first."
Qin Siyang didn't feel like talking. He simply nodded in gratitude.
However, his silence, his body covered in sticky blood, and his infamous reputation for killing John made everyone fear him even more.
When Qin Siyang stepped up to the verification desk, everyone instinctively backed away three steps.
Even Sun Juhong, ranked fifth, no longer had the same arrogance as before. He obediently stood within the crowd, watching Qin Siyang's verification. His gaze, however, carried a deeper meaning.
"We meet again," The verification officer greeted Qin Siyang with a friendly smile.
It was the same person who had verified for him last time.
However, Qin Siyang had not forgotten how, for no reason other than malice, this person had deliberately made things difficult for him during the verification of his roundplate armor.
Qin Siyang was not someone who tolerated such things.
Besides, his throat hurt, and he couldn't be bothered to exchange pleasantries.
He tossed his backpack onto the ground, unzipped it, and then gestured with his chin, signaling that the verification could begin.
"Alright, I'll verify it right away," The administrator, as if not noticing Qin Siyang's coldness, remained enthusiastic.
With John dead, no one dared to trouble him anymore.
Now, everyone had turned into friendly, polite people.
Qin Siyang sighed internally.
The Safe Zone was truly interesting.
Sometimes, you had to go to great lengths to make sure no one knew you had killed someone.
Other times, letting people know you had killed was actually a good thing.
The verification officer opened the backpack and, upon seeing that it was once again filled with an uncountable number of roundplate armors, he first gave Qin Siyang a look of disbelief.
When he met Qin Siyang's calm gaze, he swallowed hard and immediately exclaimed, "As expected of the top hunter at Exit 38324 of our Safe Zone. You've taken down several more gods again!"
As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted.
"What? Several more?"
"Did he wipe out an entire nest of Long Legged Worms?"
"Whoa—"
The verification officer poured out all the roundplate armors onto the ground, then picked up the scanning device, scanned Qin Siyang's god-hunting dagger, and began counting each armor piece one by one.
Everyone stared at the roundplate armors, momentarily dazed.
"These remains… they look like Iron Helmet Fleas?"
"Iron Helmet Fleas? He brought back several roundplate armors from them? Doesn't that mean he killed thousands of them?"
"I-It's not impossible… After all, he got eighty bottles of sequence potions last time. He's probably Sequence Level 3 by now…"
"Even a Sequence Level 3 [Phantom Assassin] shouldn't be this ridiculous, right?"
"But he was only Sequence Level 1 when he brutally killed the Level 7 John."
"That's true…"
Everyone immediately understood. Qin Siyang was a [Phantom Assassin] capable of killing above his level, so he was likely already at Sequence Level 4, maybe even Level 5.
At that level, he had already surpassed everyone's understanding.
In the past five years at Exit 38324 of the Safe Zone, no Sequence user this powerful had ever appeared.
After more than ten minutes, the verification officer stood up. Looking at the neatly arranged ten rows of roundplate armors on the ground, he announced to Qin Siyang, "One pile contains two hundred sixty-six roundplate armors. Were you working solo again this time?"
Qin Siyang didn't respond. Instead, he reached into his pocket and pulled out another roundplate armor, placing it in the verification officer's hand.
"There's one more? Alright, let me check…"
The verification officer lowered his head to inspect it, and upon seeing the densely packed rings of markings, his eyes nearly popped out.
"T-This is…"
He looked at Qin Siyang, as if unable to believe what he was seeing.
The surrounding Sequence users also curiously gathered around.
"Holy crap… How many rings does this one have? What kind of god was this?"
"My eyes are playing tricks on me! How many points is this worth?"
"It must be a mid-tier god! And a strong one at that!"
"Damn! I never thought I'd see this kind of roundplate armor at our low-level Safe Zone exit."
The crowd burst into an uproar, all scrambling to get a closer look.
The verification officer licked his lips, "P-Please wait a moment. I can't count it clearly, I need to use a scanner to confirm the points on this roundplate armor."
After saying that, he forced a smile, afraid that Qin Siyang would grow impatient.
Qin Siyang was practically a natural-born godslayer. Every time he showed up, he left everyone in shock.
As just a low-ranking official in the Bureau, if he could get on Qin Siyang's good side, he might even benefit from it.
However, he had no idea that in Qin Siyang's mind, he was already on the blacklist.
Qin Siyang gave a slight nod, indicating he was willing to wait.
The verification officer hurriedly retrieved a scanner from the equipment box.
Holding it over the roundplate armor, he shone a light on it, and the display on the side of the device instantly showed a number.
"185."
"This roundplate armor is worth 185 points. Adding the previous ones, the total is 451 points."
"Did you… Did you work solo again this time?"
Qin Siyang held up a single finger.
"Then, as per protocol, I need to conduct a test."
Qin Siyang nodded.
He passed both the lie detector and memory continuity tests. Then, the verification officer posted a reward notice on the [Godslayer Camp] forum.
"All done. Your points have been recorded. You can check them now. Your reward is too large for us to issue here, so you'll need to go to the Bureau to collect it yourself."
Qin Siyang opened his phone, logged into [Godslayer Camp], and glanced at his points.

[God-Hunting Points: 2502]
[God-Hunting Points Ranking: 183,380]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
He stared at the screen, a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion flashing in his eyes. He frowned.
Two thousand five hundred points. He had worked his ass off for those, yet he barely made it into the top 200,000.
What kind of monsters were ahead of him?
Were they slaughtering gods like chickens?
If killing gods was so easy, why were they still stuck in the Safe Zone? Why not retake Blue Planet?
But since everyone's points and rankings were hidden in [Godslayer Camp], he couldn't check their profiles.
To understand this, he'd have to ask the well-informed Li Tianming.
But Li Tianming didn't want to see him right now.
'Annoying.'
Noticing Qin Siyang's face suddenly darken, the verification officer asked nervously, "Is something wrong with your points?"
Qin Siyang shook his head, gave the officer a thumbs-up in approval, then turned and left.
