Chapter 323 - 323 321 Task The Disordered Ghost Train_1

Chapter 323: Chapter 321 Task: “The Disordered Ghost Train”_1 Chapter 323: Chapter 321 Task: “The Disordered Ghost Train”_1 “Just as well I don’t have Purple-colored Talent, that’s still manageable. Green Talent isn’t that hard to fuse; it’s the purple that is difficult…

Colin pursed his lips, planning to spend a few thousand Points later to first fuse a Green Talent and hope to get a Talent that he could actually use.

Setting that aside for the moment, before the next task was assigned, Colin decided to change his company ID name.

Wondering if he could change the streak of getting troublesome assignments…

Soon, the name change was complete, becoming: “654321”.

Though it was still Shunzi, flipped upside down, it also gave a sense of reversing fortunes—Colin felt quite satisfied with his interpretation and then accepted the next stage of the D Level Promotion Mission.

“Please, please let it not be any task from ‘Script City’, and it’d be best to avoid any Out-of-Control Copy, and of course, no incompetent teammates!!”

Colin prayed silently to himself, honestly speaking, with both “Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix” in their team this time, one handling explosions and the other accidents, it would be really hard to say if he was a bit weaker.

After quietly praying, he opened his eyes.

[Promotion Trial Task·Team—”The Disordered Ghost Train” has been dispatched to the “Task Bar”.]

“Ghost Train… the name of this mission seems kind of familiar.”

Colin felt like he had seen the name before, but didn’t think much of it and opened the task bar to check directly.

[“The Disordered Ghost Train”]

“Description”: In one catastrophic mission incident, a train carrying employees on a retreat operation unexpectedly went missing without a trace. This major accident quickly caught the attention of the company’s upper echelons, and after a series of investigations, they finally located the train half a year later.

Unfortunately, the twelve small teams, totaling seventy-one D Level staff and one Level C Employee, had all perished, and their lives had undergone an abnormal transformation.

“Requirements”: Enter the copy on December 20th, suppress at least three train cars and three small teams of abnormal employees (failure in this task will not result in death, but after three failed attempts, the D Level Promotion Mission will be reset).

“Remarks”: The more suppression, the higher the mission rating upon completion. Upon defeating half the personnel, the top three contributors may choose the defeated employees’ hand-held items as their own rewards, in order of merit.

“Current task participants”: Form your own 5-member small team, current number waiting to form a team (34). If you fail to form a team before time runs out, five people will be randomly selected for entry.

…

“Damn it, seventy-one D Level employees gone, plus a C Level… The casualties are that massive?”

Colin was shocked by what he read in the description. You need to know that there aren’t necessarily seventy-one D Level employees in the company now, and here more than seventy had died…

In these circumstances, is it really appropriate to use it for their promotion task?

“It seems to be different from immediate tasks like ‘Sea of Lightless’. Is it like ‘Self-Selected Task Events’, depicting past incidents as a ‘copy’? Does that mean this happened in the past?”

“To speak or not to speak, it feels a bit immoral, to make a copy out of dead employees’ experiences. I wonder if their families would accept this…”

“However, since it’s been made into a copy, the content inside must have been altered. Otherwise, with such difficulty, not to mention a mere Employee Level E like me, even if you pulled in a truckload of D Level employees, they might not make it.”

Thinking this, Colin let out a sigh of relief and then took a serious look at the task again.

“A team per train car, just need to fight three out of the twelve teams, the requirement doesn’t seem that high…”

“But on average, it looks like a team has about five or six people, and these people were all D Level staff before their deaths, and we would need to contend with fifteen such individuals…”

“Tsk, overall, this task is quite difficult among the regular tasks. If we fail, we’ll have to start over.”

Colin pursed his lips again, without using some kind of edge, he didn’t feel too confident about taking these people down.

A couple of them could still be handled…

With the crowd growing, he also couldn’t really handle it.

After all, they were all D Level employees, who knew what strange and bizarre items they had on them.

However, fighting with former colleagues was still quite interesting.

“Currently, every D Level employee in the company holds at least one piece of Purple Gear, a few might have Orange Gear, and as for Gold, I don’t know if there are any, but those D Levels who died shouldn’t be much different.”

Colin thought for a moment, then casually opened the dedicated chatroom for forming teams.

“The Company’s Number One Handsome Fella”: Powerful team short two people, need support and someone who can tank, contact me directly if you have…

“Storm Warrior Gay Lot”: Speedrun team needs someone who can give BUFFs, or heal…

“Son of Sadomasochism”: @Storm Warrior Gay Lot, what kind of speedrun are you talking about, if you were truly speedrunning you wouldn’t be shouting here? Besides, my team is the strong one, we nearly finished two carriages without a healer, need someone with healing or BUFF capabilities…

“Gentleman Nangong Hate”: Got 34 people, the number waiting for a team seems to have increased by two, looks like Brother Shunzi just finished a mission?

“God? Start!”: One “654321,” one “Card Dealer Your Mom Is Gone,” doesn’t seem like they’re related to Brother Shunzi’s team, no point, they appear to have started some other Second Order promotion copy.

“I Am the Cutest”: Four missing one, need someone with strong offensive capabilities, five Level Cs to charge in…

…

“Ah, this… seems like we’re lacking people with support abilities?”

Colin looked at the people and the conversation in the chatroom, no wonder it was familiar, since that “Son of Sadomasochism” was always in the “Interaction Hall” looking for someone who could play support.

He briefly flipped through the browsing history, from their conversation, this ring mission seemed quite difficult.

A team needed a reasonable distribution of roles.

And there was a high demand for someone skilled in healing tactics…

Because the interval between battles was short, they needed rapid recovery of status, and the enemies apparently had ways to disrupt mental states, so it was necessary to have some capable of applying specific effect BUFFs.

“Lots of Cs but short on healers.”

Colin muttered to himself and didn’t rush to join a team. After all, there was still quite some time until December 20th.

He decided to watch for a while longer before deciding…

Then, as if it was his habit to light a cigarette at his bedside after finishing every task, he closed that content and opened the “Chat Hall” for a glance.

At this moment, everyone inside was exclaiming about the “Wave Rider Seek Pig” and “Arsonist Tao Tie,” the Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix teaming up and still coming back safe and sound, or it was still “Brother Shunzi taking all the heat” and such.

Colin scanned these matters and didn’t pay much attention.

It was just that seeing one of the guys trapped below the eighteenth floor of the hospital tagging him, he couldn’t help but lament:

“This guy really knows how to hang in there, I have no idea how he does it…”

Now he was starting to doubt whether this guy was still normal.

However, apart from that, after watching for a while, he noticed something strange on the chat forum that piqued Colin’s curiosity…
