Chapter 151 - 151 146 The Next Mission

Chapter 151: Chapter 146 The Next Mission Chapter 151: Chapter 146 The Next Mission Uh…

The Asian division is really not small, and it’s a good thing that each major area has a dedicated place for weapons equipment. Otherwise, exchanging for a weapon would take until the next day to get one in hand…

Even so, Chen Xiao still had to take the elevator, walk down the corridors, pass through various electronic doors, turn seven corners, and wander around for quite a while before he finally found the weapons equipment area.

He used to marvel at the “K市异常生物研究中心” when he first joined the fieldwork team as if it was a place brimming with high-tech vibes. But after this journey, he finally understood that it was more like a hidden corner.

Without further ado, Chen Xiao walked out of the equipment area, satisfied with the “Shocking Dagger” in his hand. It was not until this moment that Chen Xiao, as a member of the fieldwork team, gradually got on the right track because he finally had a decent weapon.

Ah? What about that silver revolver?

Stop kidding, that kind of weapon that’ll get you crippled if you fire it once is only good for using the butt as a hammer or for ensuring Chen Xiao kills himself earlier.

Now, after deducting the funds for exchanging the “Shocking Dagger,” Chen Xiao still had 395 points left, which was equivalent to the total reward for two missions in the C-level area. It’s quite a sum. Unless he did something to land himself in a Repair Pod, this should be enough to cover a large part of his expenses.

In such a case, you can’t ignore the “Full Cerebral Lobe Enhancement Serum.” Because it was just too cost-effective, it could make one more focused, faster, stronger, enhancing hearing, vision, and reaction speed, and provided strong perceptive abilities with no significant downsides. The only drawback might be that it only lasted two minutes, but as any savvy individual understands, two minutes can save your life several times over in a crisis. Therefore, most new C-level fieldwork personnel would save money to exchange for a batch, which has almost become a tradition.

However, Chen Xiao only pondered the thought briefly before dismissing it right away… The reason being, he didn’t like the idea of “serum” enhancements from the start.

…

…

“The Foundation is involved in some scary stuff.”

A few months earlier, a woman who claimed to be an author had said this to him.

At that time, Chen Xiao subconsciously sensed myriad implications within her words. From then on, he deliberately harbored a great aversion to all Foundation-provided things like “prosthetic limb implants,” “enhancement serums,” and “body modifications.”

Indeed, those enhancements could significantly improve fieldwork personnel’s physical capabilities, help them complete missions, and most importantly, increase their chances of survival. If low-level serums had some side effects, then higher-level serums or physical enhancements were almost entirely beneficial. This led almost everyone to use these enhancements.

Well——————

But the more colorful something is on the outside, the more dangerous it often is.

Are these things really developed solely for the benefit of the employees? Could there be something else added to those items?

This question might just be the delusion of a paranoid schizophrenic, but it also might not be.

In any case, Chen Xiao did not exchange for any serums or other equipment… He decided to temporarily save the remaining funds. After all, he was now part of a team, and team funds could be shared. In other words… pooling money to buy big-ticket items was viable, so he planned to wait until Bai Xiong dealt with him, then he’d finagle… ah no… discuss sharing funds.

…

…

At this moment, after getting his hands on the cutting dagger!

——Chen Xiao started itching to try courting death again.

He excitedly opened his phone, entered the “Mission” section with great enthusiasm.

“Whoa～”

He let out a long-absent exclamation of wonder.

Back when he was still in the D-level area, there were few missions, only occasionally having one or two pop up, and sometimes the lack of missions made Xiaoxiao anxious.

But in the C-level area, he found out that there were so many missions you could flip through them page by page.

True enough, the Foundation’s abnormal missions were shaped like a spool: few at the ends and a lot in the middle. Hence, in the C-level and B-level areas, there were plenty of missions to choose from. Fieldwork personnel at this level no longer feared death as much as those in the D-level, since they now had equipment and plenty of serum, with physical abilities far beyond the ordinary. The risk level of tasks was also more acceptable, which encouraged many to undertake tasks to improve themselves.

A few minutes later

Chen Xiao was already grinning foolishly as he had flipped through dozens of missions.

By then, he had a good grasp of the characteristics of C-level missions.

Firstly, the number of C-level missions was large, so there was no chance of having nothing to do…

Secondly, most of the tasks here had “to be determined” as their rewards, the specific reasons for which have been mentioned before and need not be repeated.

Lastly, the turnover of missions in the C-level area was very high. It was rare to see a mission hang on the board for several days… and some higher-reward missions were snapped up immediately. With that in mind, there might even be “mission brokers” operating…

While Chen Xiao was browsing through the missions with interest…

Suddenly, a task with a little exclamation mark appeared, indicating it was special, or possibly sent to individuals only…

Naturally, Chen Xiao clicked to see it.

Then, the mission interface appeared.

Mission Brief:

Level: C

Location: (Refer to map)

Description: A suspected “C-level anomaly reaction” has emerged at the mental hospital in the outskirts of xx city. Fieldwork personnel receiving this mission are to head to the designated location at the appointed time to verify the anomalous object, contain the anomaly (eliminate if necessary), and complete the file.

Mission Reward: Elite Competition Invitation (C-level area exclusive)

——————————————

“⊙∀⊙!……”

Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up at once.

As previously mentioned, if the mission track record of fieldwork personnel was good, the Foundation would select outstanding individuals through this kind of “elite competition.”

Based on Chen Xiao’s mission record… his performance was genuinely good. Continuously taking on missions without any equipment and never failing… such individuals are rare, and his team “Gleeful Bird” had recently handled the tricky humanoid containment item C—207. Thus, the organization recognized that he was eligible for the privilege of competing in the elite competition.

Remembering this, Chen Xiao didn’t hesitate to accept.

In his view, elite competitions were much more fun than certain missions.
