Two days have passed since Yuan left the city and started cleaning up the Void Specters alone. The soldiers on the same mission and following behind had expected him to exhaust himself by the end of the first day. Yet, he showed no sign of slowing down even after two whole days.
"This doesn’t make any sense! How is he still going after two days without rest?!"
"I haven’t seen him take even a sip of stamina potion, either."
"Who’d be stupid enough to use potions for this sort of mission, anyway? Those things are incredibly expensive."
"If he continues cleaning at this rate, we’ll be done by tomorrow, and these missions usually take at least a week."
Unbeknownst to these soldiers, Yuan had no intention of stopping the mission until they verbally asked him to stop. This meant that he continued cleaning past the Green Zone and into the Orange Zone, something most, if not all, soldiers refrain from doing.
After all, the mission only asked them to clean the Green Zone, and going above and beyond yielded no bonus merit. Unless there was something to gain, most would not even consider it.
"Hey... Aren’t we past the Green Zone already?"
Eventually, one of the soldiers realized this and asked aloud.
"You’re right! Then why isn’t he stopping?"
"Maybe he doesn’t know?"
"Damn it!"
"Hey, Corporal! Stop! We’ve already gone past the Green Zone! There’s no need to keep on going because the mission is already complete!" The squad leader shouted at Yuan, who was just preparing to speed off again.
Yuan stopped and turned to face them.
"I am aware, but I want to keep on cleaning," he said calmly.
"What? Why?"
"Just because," he shrugged.
"Are you insane? There’s literally no point. We’re heading back," said one of the soldiers.
"Alright." Yuan didn’t even try to argue.
Since completing missions faster meant earning merit more quickly, Yuan had no objections to returning to the city, as it still moved him closer to his goals. Of course, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t try to extend the mission again during future assignments.
"Hey, how are you not tired after shooting that thing for days without rest? Even I can’t last longer than a few hours, and there’s no way you have more Limitless than me."
"You won’t be able to replicate it even if I told you," Yuan replied.
"And what makes you so sure?"
"I just am," he said, refusing to elaborate further.
After returning to the military base, Yuan immediately went back to the mission hall to grab another cleanup mission, repeating the process again and again.
