Chapter 355 - 355 353 The Islands Invitation_1
Chapter 355: Chapter 353: The Island’s Invitation_1 Chapter 355: Chapter 353: The Island’s Invitation_1 Since every member on the train was randomly selected for rotation, why haven’t I heard anyone mention…
…encountering the Level C Employee?
Colin curiously sent out his question.
If it was truly random, over the years there must have been a lucky one (or an unlucky one) who would have encountered them at least once.
However, discussions about that person were not entirely nonexistent, yet they were scarce.
“This… well, it’s not very clear because we can’t remember what they look like. But based on some characteristics and the effects of their items, we conjecture that of the more than seventy D Level personnel, only about two-thirds have shown up. The ‘randomness’ most people refer to typically includes just this portion.”
“There’s also another third, who you probably meet as you fight your way to the back carriages…”
“As for whether the C Level is among that two-thirds, it’s assumed probably not, but it’s hard to say. And one more thing, rather than that C Level, what we’re usually more concerned about is the number of enemies because the team sizes vary on each train carriage.”
“Sometimes you encounter five, sometimes six, and in the most extreme cases you could face up to nine…”
“The more there are, the harder it is to fight. It’s not like a game where if there are more players it gets balanced by lowering the level; however strong those you were matched with before were, that’s how strong they will be this time…”
“And no matter how the numbers change, their teamwork is top-notch, even Brother Shunzi should be careful, especially if you want to clear the fifth checkpoint.”
“…”
As he spoke, Lifecoach Kawaii-many recalled more memories and sent them one by one.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but marvel at which team was fortunate enough to team up with Brother Shunzi.
Based on the information received from employees who had teamed up with Brother Shunzi before, as long as no mistakes were made, people who teamed up with him could easily complete the mission without lifting a finger.
“No, that’s not necessarily true…” Lifecoach Kawaii-many suddenly remembered that Brother Shunzi seemed to attract mishaps on missions, and if nothing went wrong, then something definitely would…
‘Tsk,’ they could only hope for those people to fend for themselves.
…
“So only two-thirds have been seen, huh.”
Colin slightly shook his head, expressed his thanks, and did not continue to inquire.
Compared to Son of Sadomasochism, Lifecoach Kawaii-many knew more information about the checkpoints, but core details, such as those about the Level C Personnel Colin was most concerned about, were limited.
“Handling D Level should be doable for me if nothing unexpected happens. I just need to watch out for their gear a bit. The trouble is with the C Level…”
Colin knew his own matters best, and for others, considering an unseen Level C would not be necessary.
But for him, it might be different…
Even, it was possible that the reason he was assigned this mission was specifically to target that Level C Employee.
Although it seems that there’s only a difference of one level between D and C, no one knows what additional capabilities the C Level possesses.
Colin pondered for a moment and then shook his head, deciding not to dwell on these thoughts any longer.
The information available was not sufficient to support further consideration…
Recollecting his thoughts, Colin then browsed the chat channel, wishing to see if there were any good pieces of gear available. However, after a while, he realized that the prices for gear had recently surged.
An item like “Analytical Lens” was now breaking a thousand points…
Many common items were being purchased by the company’s newcomers.
“Are they attempting to crack the company’s item manufacturing technology?”
Colin murmured to himself, feeling that the possibility was unlikely. He might not have noticed before, but now he could almost be certain that the creation of “items” involved certain protocols…
Just this alone was enough to deter those trying to crack it.
Of course, he didn’t tell Old Master Wu to stop researching and waste time, since there was still a chance something might be uncovered by accident.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen a single piece of Purple Gear for sale on the trading floor since I joined the company. It’s hard to even find a few green-tagged items… sigh, these employees are not efficient. They cling to Purple Gear like heirlooms as if it wasn’t a common thing…”
After scrolling for a while and not finding anything useful, Colin closed the internal chat in disappointment.
Then, he ordered a pig trotter rice from the takeaway app downstairs and checked the messages. Apart from Qin Chuan, who just returned from abroad, and some urging him to go to work to handle some anomalies, there was nothing else.
Except for a lengthy message from Xu Duojin sent two hours earlier that was worth his attention.
“Mr. Colin, here’s the situation: the ‘Global Supernatural Alliance’ has recently asked for international assistance from us. They hope we can dispatch some personnel to help with ‘Da Bu… Island,’ to assist in containing some historical artifacts that have been lost from our country. Among them, there’s one, and they are especially hoping that you can join them… around the 19th…”
Is this a sign they’re really struggling?
Colin was surprised, then quickly skimmed through the rest of the message sent by Xu Duojin—
It detailed a request for their help in dealing with some artifacts related to their country. Many of these artifacts, because of regional and cultural reasons, require specific containment measures that often vary greatly and have a certain legacy.
In situations where this legacy knowledge was available, the control of artifacts that had become unstable was usually more manageable.
They often just needed to patch things up, not full containment. Many horror stories in films about haunted places could be resolved by finding a certain object or person in the vicinity, which, although not entirely accurate, was somewhat linked to these underlying reasons.
But…
This approach wasn’t quite suitable for Great Britain.
‘Tsk, that place due to historical reasons has a “small land with a rich collection” of artifacts, or rather, ill-gotten gains, that are undoubtedly diverse. The problem is the lack of legacy… tsk tsk, it really is a situation unique to my Great Britain now…’
Colin finished reading what Xu Duojin had sent, and though he felt it was somewhat inappropriate, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Of course, the invitation didn’t expect them to resolve all anomalies, but only the portion belonging to their own country. In return, they promised many benefits, returning historical artifacts being only the most basic one…
However, regretfully, Colin checked the dates.
Leaving on the 19th…
It clashed with the second stage of his promotion mission.
Without a second thought, Colin directed Xu Duojin to decline the invitation for him.
After all, it seemed there were plenty of others going; one more or one less wouldn’t make much difference, and the event even involved Ninth Level personnel, the highest echelon…
His presence or absence wouldn’t have much impact. There was no need to put himself in such danger.
“Understood,” Xu Duojin responded quickly.
In fact, Xu himself had his own grievances about that request.
