God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

[🎉 Shoutout to Alan, Guleid & Simone for joining patreon. Thank you very much.🤗]

In his previous life, Qin Siyang's academic performance was average, and after the college entrance exam, he could only go to an ordinary university.

In this life, he felt that he had a chance to enter the top university within the safe zone.

The post also explained the advantages and disadvantages of universities.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"The quality of a sequence university is a key factor in widening the gap between sequence users and serves as a watershed that influences one's entire life."

"A good sequence university has the best learning environment and the most abundant educational resources."

"High-level sequences, mentors full of combat and research experience, are everywhere. Living and dining conditions are top-notch, and there are also plenty of scholarships available, ensuring that outstanding students don't have to worry about tuition fees."

"Outstanding alumni and promising classmates will provide a solid backing for your future advancement. Whether you choose to fight against the gods, join the United Government, or engage in sequence-related research, these are all invaluable resources."

"Therefore, if possible, make every effort to get into a highly ranked sequence university. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Just from reading the introduction, Qin Siyang was already filled with longing for an excellent sequence university.

The universities in this life were quite different from those in his previous life.

In his past life, after graduation, stepping into society depended mainly on personal ability and background, with alumni resources not having such a significant impact.

But in this life, it was a world of fighting against gods and establishing new order.

It had only been ten years since the apocalypse arrived, and the various social classes in the safe zone had only existed for ten years. It was still a time of unstable order.

The main circles of power had likely not yet solidified.

To seize the advantage now, one had to secure a VIP seat—by entering an excellent sequence university.

According to the post's description, even if Qin Siyang was an orphan and poor, it didn't matter much because sequence abilities were the hard currency in the post-apocalyptic world.

As long as one's sequence ability was strong enough, the right circles would naturally accept them.

He opened the [Godslayer Forum] and checked the rewards for hunting gods.

["Killing gods grants monetary rewards, sequence potion rewards, and god-hunting points, all provided by the United Government."]

["Specifically, each god-hunting point earned from killing a god grants 1,000 copper coins and one-tenth of a sequence potion's resources."]

["When a group hunts together, the rewards are distributed according to an internally agreed-upon proportion."]

["Hunting a god alone grants double god-hunting points. However, the Sequence Ability Management Bureau does not encourage solo operations—cooperation is emphasized in god-hunting. This rule is mainly to identify the strongest human god-hunters to lead the future counterattack of humankind."]

["Points are earned by killing a god and cutting off a body part or organ bearing a divine mark. There is a post detailing the divine marks."]

["If a sequence user dies during a god-hunting mission, their family will receive compensation based on their sequence level. If they have no family and die in a team hunt, the compensation can be allocated to the other team members."]

'Allocated to other team members?', Qin Siyang didn't understand the real purpose of this rule, but it felt off to him.

As a sequence user, killing ordinary people wouldn't have severe consequences, 'So, if one of my teammates is the sole sequence user in his family, does that mean I could kill his entire family, then orchestrate his death and take his compensation?'

'Wouldn't this rule encourage internal strife?'

'Could this be one of the survival laws of the post-apocalyptic safe zone?'

There were still many things Qin Siyang didn't understand at all.

Even before joining a god-hunting squad, just from reading the introduction posts, he already sensed a whiff of bloodshed.

At this moment, he noticed a red number [157] on his Sequence User Forum account avatar.

Curious, he clicked on it and found that he had received 157 private messages.

["Hello, little brother! Your [Phantom Assassin] sequence is exactly what our team needs. Plus, our squad is all women—we lack a man with masculine energy to hold the fort. You are perfect! Join us in god-hunting, and we'll take good care of you!"]

["Hello, Xiao Qin, your sequence is precisely what we urgently need. Join our god-hunting team. We've been together for two years with hardly any member changes. Safety is guaranteed."]

["Qin Siyang, hello! The [Phantom Assassin] sequence perfectly fills our team's offensive gap. We have [Healing] and [Armor] sequence users, ensuring your safety during hunts. Please join us!"]

Qin Siyang skimmed through the messages—157 god-hunting squads had sent him invitations, making his head spin.

As he was browsing the invites, two more god-hunting squad invitations arrived.

"They say [Phantom Assassin] is in high demand. Looks like it's true. Damn, so many teams want me?"

But how should he choose a god-hunting squad?

His first instinct was to ask Qian Wenzhao.

But after thinking it over, Qian Wenzhao was too smart, and he didn't want to get too close to him or expose his ignorance.

When dealing with smart people, one must hide weaknesses; when dealing with fools, one must show them. This was a lesson Qin Siyang had learned through two lifetimes.

If he relied on Qian Wenzhao for everything, Qian Wenzhao would just think he was dumb and gradually distance himself.

He searched the forum but found no posts teaching how to choose a god-hunting squad.

Perhaps there had been some before, but they were deleted by the moderators. This indicated that squad selection experience was sensitive information.

'Why can't it be made public?'

Qin Siyang knew he couldn't investigate further and had to spend time and effort figuring it out himself.

Just then, a "Beep, beep, beep" sound rang out.

It was Li Tianming, who had forgotten to turn off his QQ chat application before leaving.

Curiosity drove Qin Siyang to open the chat window. It was a message from someone with the username [Tingting].

["Brother Tianming, I miss you! Come keep me company tonight, okay?"]

She also sent an explicit video.

Qin Siyang watched the entire video with a judgmental gaze, then clicked the close button and downloaded it.

But when he opened the downloaded video folder, he was stunned.

'There are so many of them?'

Although there were a lot, they were not chaotic—Li Tianming had meticulously labeled and categorized each one.

Many even featured Li Tianming himself.

Qin Siyang was dumbfounded.

'Isn't Li Tianming just an ordinary school principal? How does he have so many of these videos? And the female lead keeps changing…'

Qin Siyang thought of something and immediately opened the [Sequence User Information] section, typing in [Li Tianming].

More than twenty names appeared. He carefully filtered them and found one that closely resembled Li Tianming but was noticeably younger, with flowing hair.

Sure enough, in this world, the only reason someone was popular with the opposite sex was because they were a sequence user.

Li Tianming was also a sequence user.

But he had been a school principal for so many years, and it seemed like no student had ever known about this.

"Li Tianming was quite handsome when he was young. Now he's got a big belly and a receding hairline—time is merciless."

When he clicked on Li Tianming's personal profile, his eyes were immediately drawn to the first two lines:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Li Tianming, Sequence: "Shaman"]

[Due to misconduct in Region 14121 that caused dozens of deaths, he was removed from the Education Bureau and is now the principal of "Ju'an School."]
