Chapter 12
Cannon Fodder NPCs Won’t Issue Grade S Missions (2)
It’s here!
Liao Zixuan’s guess was right. In the world of “Fallen God”, after a native NPC like Vivian made contact with players, all requests would automatically be presented by the system in the form of “missions”.
But that was not all.
What really surprised Liao Zixuan was yet to come.
Just as he was about to edit the mission, another dialog box popped up.
[Assessing the reward quota…]
[Vivian]
[Occupational rating… D, level rating… E, attribute rating… E, potential rating… A]
[Calculating… currently available reward quota: Grade C]
[Grade C limit: 1,500 EXP, 5 silver coins, and a random item or equipment of “Rare” level or below]
[Soul Contract Detected. Automatically incorporating the “Summoned Beast” into the evaluation system. Recalculating the reward quota…]
[Black (Summoned Beast)]
[Race rating… SSS, rank rating… C, attribute rating… C, potential rating… SSS]
[Calculating…]
[Reward quota update completed. Current highest reward quota: Grade S]
[Grade S limit: 100,000 EXP, 500 gold coins, a random item or equipment of “Epic” level or below, three random Class-related “Master” level Skill Books, 0-10 regional Reputation Points…]
Holy sh*t!
Grade S mission reward limit?
1… 100,000 EXP?!
Liao Zixuan rubbed his eyes with his paws to make sure that he did not read the message wrongly. There were five zeros behind 1; a whole 100,000 experience points!
It was… ridiculous!
Because what did 100,000 experience points mean?
It could instantly level a player up from level 1 to level 20, which allowed them to directly enter Class Two of their chosen Class.
Although this little bit of strength might still be the lowest level of supernatural power in the world of “Fallen God”, quantity could win over quality! Enough ants can bite an elephant to death. Furthermore, this was only the beginning of the game, no, it was not even the beginning. After all, it was only the closed beta and there was still quite some time before the open beta.
If he and Vivian used this period of time to increase their strength and continue to increase the mission reward quota to Grade SS or Grade SSS…
At that time, when the Open Beta opens and tens of millions of players flooded in…
Just thinking about it was scary!
Indeed, becoming rich depended on exploiting the system’s loopholes!
After all, Vivian and Liao Zixuan, who were “NPCs”, didn’t have to pay for these mission rewards; they were all paid by the system. What was more important was that the exaggerated EXP was only a small part of it; there was a huge pile of good stuff that followed.
I can only say…
As expected of a Grade S mission! This reward was too generous!
The mission rating was usually determined by the NPC’s status, ability, and reputation. If it was just Vivian alone, the girl could only issue a Grade C mission. However, the inclusion of Liao Zixuan, the Dark Flame Wolf with a noble bloodline and unlimited potential in the calculation pulled up the reward quota to Grade S with much difficulty.
What should they do…
He suddenly started to feel sour.
As NPCs, he and Vivian were like gatekeepers guarding a huge mountain of gold. They could take out anything from the mountain of gold and give it to others, but they themselves could only stare at the mountain of gold.
Regarding this, Liao Zixuan had already tried to see if he could issue missions for himself to reiteratively claim rewards, but he had naturally failed.
But…
Haha!
Liao Zixuan sneered internally. Indeed, the system could watch over the NPCs to ensure that the rewards were distributed to the players and not pocketed by the NPCs themselves. But the system could not control if the players voluntarily returned the rewards to the NPCs right?
Initially, he was worried about Vivian’s weak foundation. Oh no, to be precise, the little girl had no foundation at all. He was still hoping that he could give her some of his power.
As a Dark Flame Wolf, Liao Zixuan was indeed powerful and noble. But the problem that followed was that he was too difficult to raise!
His development period was too long!
The EXP required for a monster to level up was already several times that of a human of the same level. To add to this, the Dark Flame Wolf was infamous among monsters for requiring lots of resources to develop. Just looking at EXP alone, the higher the level, the more astronomical the amount of EXP needed.
Liao Zixuan’s original plan was to first nurture the little girl with all his strength, and then let her help him level up and evolve after she became stronger.
However, it seemed like there was another shortcut?
At this moment, Big Watermelon suddenly shuddered. He had a feeling that there was something wrong with the way the Witch’s little wolf cub was looking at him.
However, he did not care about that for now.
After Vivian had explained what they had to do, Big Watermelon felt nothing but regret.
Because it was only then that the two closed beta testers realized that the girl was going to the deepest part of the forest to pick a special medicinal herb. That place was the lair of a Tyrannosaurus Rex monster—the king of the entire forest and the source of the name “Dreadclaw Forest”!
They did not know who was stronger between the Tyrannosaurus Rex monster and the Witch, but they knew very well that the two of them were definitely the weakest among the weak; completely insignificant to the Tyrannosaurus Rex monster.
So, why did Vivian insist on “requesting” their help? After thinking about it carefully, there could only be one reason.
Bait!
The girl wanted them to attract the attention of “Dreadclaw” so that she could enter the Boss’ lair to steal something!
Damn it!
The Witches were indeed all trash!
Damn it, how infuriating!
Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat dared not speak out despite their anger. The only thing they could do was to remember Vivian and her “deliberately disguised” innocent face. They then secretly swore that when their players’ levels were high enough to defeat the NPCs in the future, they would definitely seek revenge from this drama queen named “Vivian”!
Before they could finish their oath, a crisp “ding” rang in their minds.
[Vivian has issued you a mission—”Assist in picking medicinal herbs”. Would you like to accept it?]
Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat were stunned at first because this mission notice seemed to have appeared a little late. They had thought that Vivian was planning to completely freeload off them and wasn’t even going to give them a mission.
However, the two of them soon pursed their lips.
Why? Was there a need to ask?! Such a perfunctory mission name definitely did not exceed Grade E.
This made them feel even more resentful toward Vivian. She was making them do the most dangerous job but was so stingy in doling out the rewards. It was clear that she was planning to use a garbage daily mission to patronize them!
As expected of a Witch!
A bunch of heartless bad women…
“Yeah?”
Although they were cursing internally, the two players accepted the mission immediately. After all, a reward was a reward, regardless of how small it was.
However, the moment they accepted the mission, they were stunned by the notification.
[You have successfully accepted the Grade S chain mission “Assist in picking medicinal herbs”]
Wait…
Assist in picking medicinal herbs…
Chain mission…
Grade S?!
