Gentlemen's Hall
Everyone sat on benches painted brown and waited quietly.
Edmund took out a pocket watch engraved with the family's wing emblem from the lining of his pocket.
"Today's progress is a bit slow... Is it because William joined the team? Usually, a task list is delivered within ten minutes, but today it's almost half an hour."
Sitting on the edge of the chair, with her face covered by a black veil and her hands resting lightly on her legs, Yuliana said casually:
"Due to special circumstances, William is carrying out his first mission in half a year. He has also met the First Gentleman, so it is difficult to estimate his strength. Perhaps those above are discussing it."
"That's right.
Generally, a strong person who can get more than 95 points will do the tasks frantically as long as he has some free time... It is rare to take a leave of absence for half a year, so let's wait a little longer."
Until forty minutes have passed
A middle-aged man in a black tuxedo, a white bow tie and a tall hat came up to the crowd.
The concave cheeks and protruding cheekbones give off a serious aura.
He also wears a badge on his chest that symbolizes his special identity.
"director!"
The well-informed Edmund recognized the position corresponding to the badge at a glance. This person was one of the supervisors of the Gentlemen's Hall. He was mainly responsible for the troublesome matters above and communicated with high-ranking gentlemen, doctors and other strong people. He rarely appeared in the lower level area.
The other party did not reply.
Instead, he kept his gaze on Yi Chen, looking him up and down.
His purpose of coming here was to see for himself what the recipient of the "First Gentleman" looked like and why he had to rest for half a year.
After some observation,
In addition to the unknown pet hidden in the shoulder and the "emblem" that is not displayed,
There are only two words to describe it - ordinary.
Compared to those geniuses who had seen the first gentleman when they first came to Zion, they had neither madness nor relatively outstanding characteristics... If we only look at the surface, Edmund and the other two seem to be better.
"Objectively considering the conditions of your team, I have slightly increased the difficulty and selected three tasks.
The list is here, take your pick.
If you think the three tasks on the list are not suitable, we can help you replace them. Of course, the difficulty will not change much. "
"OK."
After handing over the envelope, the supervisor showed no intention of leaving.
I sat on the adjacent bench, waiting for their choice results... At the same time, I took the initiative to indicate that there was no need to rush, as I had plenty of time.
The envelope unfolds,
Three exquisite letters made of cowhide were taken out from it.
1. Ghost Village Worship
Location: Southeast jungle of Helven Valley (72km from Zion)
Pathological detection: Pathological detection has been confirmed (100%)
*Category: Psychiatric disorders
Requirements: Go deep into the original villages and find out the root cause of the disease. Carry out effective regional closure and eliminate the root cause and all villagers, leaving no one behind.
Difficulty (person): ★★★☆
Special reminder: There is a high probability that there are "severely ill patients" between villages, and there is a very small probability that there is a "patient zero"
* Patient Zero is an extremely rare patient who, although infected by pathogenic factors, can completely break free from all control from the pathogenic entity when reaching the "patient" stage and possesses absolute independence.
If you encounter and confirm that someone is Patient Zero during the mission, try to convince them and bring them back to Zion or the nearest clinic or cemetery.
Basic rewards: some silver coins, 20 pieces of "Gentleman's Leather" with an old-world feel, +1 mission point (high quality).
* Additional rewards may be given based on completion, discovery of additional clues, etc.
*If more than 20% of the villagers escape, the mission will be considered a failure.
2. Apartment building with suspected lesions
Location of the incident: Dexton (103km from Zion)
*Previous excerpt: According to information reported by investigators at the scene, the apartment building at 73 Lyken Street has frequently seen tenants disappear (11 cases). Investigators did not find anything unusual after using conventional means to investigate.
Pathological detection: Not yet found (suspected to be deeply hidden, the pathogen is in the latent growth stage)
Request: Assist gentleman investigator Lambert Chenoweth to uncover the cause of disappearances in the apartment building.
Difficulty (human): ? ? (Difficulty cannot be assessed before the presence, grade and type of pathogens are confirmed)
*If hidden pathogens are discovered, investigator Lambert will decide whether to kill them, request organizational support, or evacuate immediately based on his or her judgment of the incident.
Special reminder: The difficulty of this task cannot be assessed. There may be a dangerous situation where the apartment building is the pathogen. Please choose carefully whether to accept this task.
Rewards: To be determined temporarily based on the results of the final investigation and incident handling.
3. Secret medicine recovery
Location of the incident: Vinal (about 51km from Zion)
*Previous excerpt: Due to the "False Moon Incident*" that broke out two months ago, more than 90% of the residents in the city were killed directly, and the entire city was completely paralyzed and eventually turned into ruins.
The Dusk Clinic, built on the outskirts of the city, was also severely affected and was forced to be abandoned recently.
A week ago,
The gentleman team responsible for recycling work in the organization went to the Twilight Clinic to carry out "secret medicine recycling".
Due to incorrect information provided by the clinic, subsequent manual verification revealed that there was still a bottle of secret medicine that had not been recovered.
Pathological detection: There is a small probability that there are pathological remnants of the "false moon event".
*The pathogenic subject that caused the Fake Moon incident has been completely killed by the gentlemen between organizations, so there is no need to worry.
Require:
1. Go to the Twilight Clinic and retrieve the missing secret medicine.
2. If the secret medicine cannot be found, please use the Polaroid camera distributed by the organization to take photos of every corner of the clinic to obtain relevant evidence that the secret medicine may have been stolen.
Difficulty (human): ★★★+? (It is uncertain whether the remnants of the false moon event have grown rapidly, the difficulty may be greater than three stars)
Special reminder: After confirming to accept this task, you can apply to view some information about the "Fake Moon Incident".
Basic rewards: some silver coins, 20 pieces of "Gentleman's Leather" with an old-world feel, +1 mission point (high quality).
* Additional rewards may be given based on completion, discovery of additional clues, etc.
*If you bring back the secret medicine bottle, everyone can get one or more drops of secret medicine source liquid depending on your performance.
…
These three tasks made Edmund's scalp tingle.
Each one is more variable than the other. Except for the first task which has a slightly stable difficulty, the difficulty of the other two tasks are variable.
The highest difficulty level of the missions they had taken on before was only two and a half stars... During one mission, they encountered an unexpected danger, which almost caused Dagbert to permanently lose one of his arms. After they came back, they had to recuperate for half a month.
certainly,
After half a year of study and practice, the three of them have improved their skills, and the team has also added Yi Chen, the "first gentleman".
It is reasonable for a mission worth three or three and a half stars.
Juliana, who rarely spoke, suddenly suggested in a low voice:
"Captain... would you like to consider the third mission? Missions related to secret medicines rarely appear, and they are rare missions that only high-ranking gentlemen can access.
According to the previous excerpt, since the recovery team had been there a week ago, they must have cleaned the clinic during the recovery of the secret medicine.
If we can obtain the secret medicine source liquid in advance through this mission, it will definitely be beneficial to our subsequent breakthroughs."
“We don’t know what type of secret medicine it is, and the “Fake Moon Incident” is likely to involve some ancient things… I can’t make up my mind.
What do you think, William
Yi Chen simply responded: "I have similar ideas to Juliana, there are benefits and risks."
"Alright~ Even if we ask the supervisor to change one, I guess the difficulty won't be much different. And this mission is also relatively close. If we are lucky enough, maybe we can bring the secret medicine back in one day.
However, I have a personal request.
This task will not be officially carried out until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
This is our first time facing a Samsung or even more difficult task, so we need to be fully prepared before departure."
"Um."
