Chapter 109: The Accuracy of the Heaven-Born Disciple's Reconnaissance
Chapter 109: The Accuracy of the Heaven-Born Disciple's Reconnaissance
After a brief discussion, the two wrote down the news of the day and submitted it shortly after.
Before leaving, Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan found a cleaner spot in the wilderness and rested for a moment, observing the area.
"Recently, my attendant mentioned that many people on the frontline are talking about a fellow disciple named Su Chen.
Do you remember him, Junior Sister Liu?"
At the mention of Su Chen's name, Liu Xingwan, sitting beside her, furrowed her elegant brows slightly.
A hint of confusion appeared on her face.
"Is he the newly emerged Heaven-Born Disciple from another sect?
Is he very powerful?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Jianyun couldn't help but smile.
"Su Chen has always remembered you and constantly strives to surpass you.
Junior Sister Liu, you're so forgetful that you can't even recall his name.
Do you remember the Summer End Purge last year, when a disciple surpassed you in contribution points?"
As she realized who Su Chen was, Liu Xingwan's brows furrowed even more.
"I think I vaguely remember him."
"During last year's Summer End Purge, his final contribution points surpassed yours.
When his act of stealing credit was exposed, the sect expelled him.
But now, I hear that Su Chen is highly regarded in Tiangang City, and many say he has genuine abilities.
During the purge, you were already behind him.
Moreover, Su Chen has always wanted to prove himself by surpassing you in strength."
Fu Jianyun's face carried a faint smile as he spoke of these matters casually.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xingwan felt a surge of annoyance.
"Let him be. If he thinks he can defeat me, let him challenge me.
The sect deducted seventy percent of his contribution points, and the Master gave those deducted points to me.
If he can defeat me, I can return those points to him."
Upon hearing Liu Xingwan's words, even Fu Jianyun, sitting beside her, was taken aback.
"The deducted points were given to you? That might not adhere to the rules. Didn't the other elders object?"
Liu Xingwan shook her head slightly.
"The Master said that most of the credit he took should have been mine, so there was no need for further distinction, and they were all given to me.
The other elders probably know about this, but they didn't make a fuss."
As core disciples of the Yunyang Sect, the sect naturally invested a lot of resources in them.
However, in the Yunyang Sect, contribution points were essentially a form of currency.
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan sometimes needed contribution points to arrange tasks.
Who wouldn't want more? Sun Xuerong's actions were indeed disgusting.
By accusing Su Chen of greed and credit-stealing, she directly took away seventy percent of his contribution points.
Su Chen had worked hard to accumulate those points, but Sun Xuerong took them away based on her assumptions.
Fu Jianyun nodded and didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
"Currently, the sect hasn't been able to find suitable disciples for reconnaissance on the frontline.
If these tasks keep falling on us, it might become troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xingwan, sitting beside him, also nodded.
In their hearts, their top priority was their cultivation, and other matters took a back seat.
"I've been thinking that if we perform too well, it might become increasingly difficult to shake off these tasks.
Although reconnaissance missions are simple, they do waste time and energy.
Junior Sister, let's slightly control the accuracy of the information.
Let's intentionally add some minor mistakes.
As long as we grasp the more severe issues, there won't be major problems on the frontline.
What do you think?"
Upon hearing Fu Jianyun's suggestion, Liu Xingwan hesitated, and her expression changed slightly.
"This might not be appropriate. If those mistakes lead to significant problems, the demons are ferocious, and people might lose their lives because of it."
Liu Xingwan refused, not entirely agreeing with this method.
She didn't want to waste time on this, but she wasn't willing to falsify the reconnaissance information intentionally.
However, Fu Jianyun had already started modifying the report, disregarding Liu Xingwan's reluctance.
Fu Jianyun was always arrogant and boastful, so when he asked Liu Xingwan, it was merely a casual inquiry.
As a Heaven Talent disciple, he might speak of grand principles in front of others.
But when it came to taking action, it wasn't that simple.
He even worried that his reconnaissance was too accurate, keeping them stationed here for related tasks.
Soon, Fu Jianyun finished his revisions and prepared to submit them.
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan, in fact, had little experience in observing demon traces.
But after studying for some time, they both felt it was relatively simple.
The book recorded the experiences clearly.
Yesterday, when they arrived at the frontline, they circled the wilderness, considering it a verification.
Today, they truly began their reconnaissance mission, believing their accuracy could reach over ninety percent.
If they didn't intentionally make some minor errors, this reconnaissance mission might trouble them for a long time.
With this information, Fu Jianyun handed it to Hall Master Xia Kun.
After receiving the news, Xia Kun also began making arrangements based on the information.
But in his heart, there were some additional considerations.
Overall, he followed the conventional approach, focusing on multiple key points without fully trusting the information.
As a frontline commander, he wouldn't place too much trust in reconnaissance reports.
Reports had to be at least seventy percent accurate to be meaningful.
If the accuracy was too low, it would be better to set up more outposts for defense.
Most of the time, reconnaissance disciples gathered information for ambushing demons.
If the accuracy was too low, it would be better to focus entirely on defense.
Of course, defense also had its challenges.
If they remained in a defensive posture, the demons would become even more rampant.
Just like now, they would raid three or four times at night.
As night fell, Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan didn't rest.
They also wanted to verify their judgment.
There were a few key locations where they felt demons would surely attack.
Xia Kun's arrangements were a bit lacking, so they could help when the demons appeared.
The two Heaven Talent disciples thought this in their hearts.
Then, they accompanied the outposts until dawn.
The demons raided four times that night.
Fu Jianyun and Liu Xingwan's predicted locations were partially correct.
But the locations they considered key remained calm throughout the night.
At the third hour, their faces showed a hint of embarrassment, and they headed to the main camp to find Xia Kun.
At this moment, Xia Kun's face showed fatigue, as the frontline situation was tense, and he hadn't had a good rest in a long time.
Seeing the two of them, Xia Kun smiled and invited them to sit.
"Hall Master Xia, how accurate was yesterday's information?"
Fu Jianyun didn't waste words and went straight to the point.
Xia Kun handed them several letters.
"The precision does have room for improvement, but it's not bad. Nearly fifty percent is accurate.
You're not yet familiar with the frontline, but once you are, your reconnaissance reports should be more precise."
Xia Kun's reassurance didn't help.
Hearing that the accuracy was only fifty percent, both were stunned.
These Heaven Talent disciples hadn't expected their reconnaissance information to be so inaccurate.
And as Liu Xingwan flipped through the letters, she discovered something hilarious.
A location Fu Jianyun had intentionally written incorrectly was where a demon had launched a surprise attack.
That location was intentionally written wrong, a deliberate mistake.
They had thought about lowering their accuracy, but now it seemed unnecessary.
They had worried that their abilities were too strong, making their information too precise.
They had overthought it.
