Carlotta's Daily Report
Chapter 98: Cheating is Fun

Chapter 98: Cheating is Fun

Carlotta had been keeping an eye on the time. When it struck midnight, she immediately sat down in a corner of the association hall and silently called up her panel to take a look.

[ 1: The vice president of the Adventurers’ Association, Tristian Dalsheim, hasn’t yet decided how many contribution points to set for a spot in Sky Island. He’s in no hurry and plans to keep everyone in suspense. During this process, a large number of commissions will be completed, which will greatly benefit the development of the Adventurers’ Association.]

Carlotta really wanted to find this Tristian and give him the middle finger.

The popularity brought by Sky Island was being fully utilized by him for the development of the Adventurers’ Association.

’What a sly old fox,’ Carlotta cursed silently, but there was nothing she could do about him.

[ 2: Alistair and others have quietly entered the Kingdom of Augusta and are inquiring about Carlotta’s whereabouts everywhere, but they haven’t found anything.]

It was actually information about Alistairs and his group.

Seeing the content, Carlotta couldn’t help but laugh. These guys actually went to the Kingdom of Augusta, but she was in the Kingdom of Brandon.

Moreover, she didn’t plan to stay in the Kingdom of Brandon for long. After exploring Sky Island, she will continue south, further distancing herself from these people.

’I can see information every day. If you get even a little closer, it’ll appear in my information. Let’s see how you find me,’ Carlotta thought.

And if Alistairs and the others really got close, she wouldn’t even need to check the information. Amelia should be able to find out earlier from the Soldier Roster because the Fenwick family will definitely be closely following Alistair and his group.

The distance was too great for Amelia to know the exact situation of the Fenwick family, but she could still get a rough idea. Besides, the closer those people got, the more Amelia would be able to sense.

Carlotta was relaxed and looked at the next piece of information.

[ 3: The completion methods for all commissions on the Adventurers’ Association bulletin board are as follows...]

Seeing the content of the third piece of information, Carlotta couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

She knew that after her deliberate interactions during the day, today’s information would include something about how to complete commissions, but she hadn’t expected the information to be so comprehensive, providing the completion methods for all the commissions.

Carlotta’s eyes fell on the numerous commissions, and she suddenly noticed that the commissions on the board would suddenly disappear or appear.

"This is real-time updates. Commissions that are taken disappear, and new ones appear," Carlotta marveled.

The simple methods for completing each commission were already recorded, and even the order of completion was provided to ensure the fastest way to complete the most commissions. So, what should she do next?

Carlotta immediately stood up and went to the bulletin board, taking on all the commissions recommended by the information in one go.

Some commissions were difficult and time-consuming to complete, and even though the information provided methods, it wasn’t recommended. The ones recommended in the information were the easier ones.

In a short time, Carlotta had taken on fifty commissions, causing the staff at the bulletin board to twitch their eyelids.

"Miss, each commission has a time limit. If you can’t complete it within the specified time, you’ll lose some contribution points," the staff member kindly reminded her.

Carlotta smiled slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, I know."

"So, do you still want to take on these fifty commissions?"

"Yes, all of them."

"...Did you really listen to what I said?"

"I heard you, all of them."

Carlotta smiled confidently.

She had already cheated, so why wouldn’t she be confident?

This, however, makes the staff member less confident. They didn’t know where Carlotta got the confidence to take on fifty commissions at once, especially since the completion time for these commissions was very short. How could fifty commissions be completed so easily in such a short time?

This had nothing to do with strength because many commissions required a lot of time just to investigate related matters.

After investigating and completing all fifty commissions, the time spent would definitely be terrifyingly long.

But since Carlotta insisted on taking on all fifty commissions at once, the staff member couldn’t refuse. As long as Carlotta’s current contribution was enough to cover it, they had to arrange it.

"Here are your commission forms, please keep them. One copy for your adventurer group and one for the association, indicating that you have taken on the commissions. Within the specified time, no one else can take on the same commissions."

The staff quickly processed the commissions for Carlotta.

Carlotta took the fifty commission forms and, under the astonished gazes of those around her, turned and left.

"Carlotta..."

Amelia came up and asked in a low voice, her expression somewhat strange.

She didn’t know why Carlotta dared to take on so many tasks. Although Carlotta had gathered a lot of information in one day, the various pieces of information were like tangled threads, and she hadn’t sorted out these clues.

"I have a plan, follow me."

Carlotta smiled slightly.

She took Amelia’s hand and walked out of the Adventurer’s Association at a leisurely pace.

...

After Carlotta left, adventurers and adventurer groups came to the commission bulletin board one after another, intending to take on commissions.

But when they arrived, they were dumbfounded because the commissions that looked relatively easy to complete had all been taken.

The remaining commissions were obviously very difficult to complete, and there was even a commission to subjugate the Ten Pirate Crews. Was this something they could accomplish?

"Where are the commissions? I just saw a lot of commissions here. How come they’re all gone after just going to the bathroom?"

Someone shouted, unable to accept this.

Because many people had already set their sights on some commissions and were planning to take them on, but in the blink of an eye, their chosen commissions were all gone?

"The commission to subjugate the Three-Colored Octopus is gone, the commission to clean up the Corrosive Crabs is gone, and the commission to collect a complete Sword Shark skeleton is gone?"

Many adventurers were shouting and yelling, looking at the remaining commissions on the bulletin board that were obviously of a much higher difficulty level, and they couldn’t accept it.

The remaining commissions were either troublesome or difficult, and everyone couldn’t use them to gain contribution points in a short time. Without contribution points, how could they buy the Sky Island spots?

Not only Amelia, but others also guessed that the Sky Island spots would ultimately have to be bought with contribution points.

Now that a large number of "high-quality" commissions were gone, many adventurers who came a step late couldn’t help but feel frustrated.

Under the questioning of many adventurers, the staff and some adventurers who had been told the truth, mentioning Carlotta’s existence.

No one knew who Carlotta was, but when Carlotta took on the commissions, she mentioned that she was representing the Moonlight Adventurer Group.

In an instant, the name of the Moonlight Adventurer Group spread throughout the Adventurer’s Association hall!

...

The intelligence provided to Carlotta had a recommended process for the commissions. From near to far, in one line, all fifty commissions could be completed.

The first commission was in Pine Town.

She took Amelia to a small alley corner in Pine Town, had six of the eight pirates block the view of outsiders at the alley entrance, and ordered the remaining two to dig in the corner. Soon, they dug out a box.

"This is..."

Amelia looked at this scene in surprise.

Carlotta smiled slightly, "Based on the information I gathered yesterday, I speculated that something might be hidden here, and it turned out to be true."

Amelia looked astonished, completely unaware of how Carlotta could speculate to this extent. She had also listened to all the information gathered, but she never thought about whether something might be hidden here.

Next, Carlotta had the pirates open the box, and inside was a pearl.

But this was not a normal pearl, but a mutated one called a Red Pearl, which had good alchemical value, and of course, as a pure ornamental item, it was also quite valuable.

There was a commission to find a Red Pearl, which had been there for a long time without anyone taking it.

Because pearls themselves required dealing with shellfish monsters to obtain, and the probability of a pearl mutating was not high. Mutations could result in Blue Pearls, Green Pearls, Black Pearls, and other variations, so the chance of mutating into a Red Pearl was even lower.

Therefore, this commission was quite difficult to complete, mainly troublesome, so no one had taken it for a long time.

But Carlotta learned from intelligence that an adventurer group had accidentally obtained a Red Pearl. Coincidentally, this adventurer group was in constant internal strife, so the person who obtained the Red Pearl temporarily hid it here, planning to resolve the group’s issues first. However, this person died not long after, and the Red Pearl was lost.

Now, this Red Pearl belongs to Carlotta.

"Amelia, keep it for now."

Carlotta hands the Red Pearl to Amelia.

Amelia nodded. Although there were still many things she didn’t understand, she could only attribute it to Carlotta being smarter, ability to analyze and reduce useful content from a mess of information. Perhaps this was also a talent.

After Amelia put away the Red Pearl, Carlotta said enthusiastically, "Let’s go, next."

Carlotta was very eager to complete these fifty commissions because it also meant a considerable amount of wealth, and the contribution points obtained would be extremely substantial, over a million.

In Pine Town, there were three commissions that could be completed.

Carlotta took her people to two more places and easily obtained what she wanted, then left the town.

She felt that this process was very easy. Commissions that would take many adventurer groups a lot of time to complete were no trouble for her at all. The feeling of cheating was just different.

’Cheating is really fun, I’ll do it again in the future.’
