Chapter 466: Chapter 401: A Bit Too Urbanized. _1 Chapter 466: Chapter 401: A Bit Too Urbanized. _1 “The task requires, at 1 AM tomorrow morning, no, at 1 AM the day after tomorrow, to enter the hidden sanctuary of the ‘Dawn Star’ followers via projection, to use them as much as possible for intelligence gathering on other anomalous forces…”

“Then, gather them together and neutralize them harmlessly as a whole.”

“The time limit is half a month…”

After briefly reviewing the task, Colin could only sigh that the “Starlight Maiden” had defected thoroughly.

The entire ‘Dawn Star’ follower organization was probably sold out completely.

It wouldn’t be long before they were eradicated from this world.

“The only difficulty of the task is not to blow the cover, at least, before all the members of this organization return to their hidden sanctuary, you can’t just blow your cover….”

“With some assistance from the ‘Starlight Maiden’, the problem isn’t very serious.”

“And if the cover is blown after they return… just deal with it promptly, as long as no one finds out, I am still perfectly infiltrated.”

Upon briefly reviewing, Colin roughly understood the tricky part of this task.

When it came to coaxing people as a “Divine Envoy”, he was pretty much “in his element”, so there was no need to worry about stage fright or the like.

However, the believers of “Dawn Star” were somewhat abstract; he wondered if he could impersonate them well…

With a slight shake of his head, Colin looked up again at the wall clock; it was around five in the afternoon, with plenty of time left.

Then, he opened the parchment of the Trial Task to take a look.

The current usage was about 1,700 times, with team entries accounting for over 1,400, and solo ones less than 300…

“Calculating roughly, 20 points per team entry, 1,200 or so entries, rounded to 1,400, minus the company’s cut, I would get 14 points each, totaling over 19,000; rounding to 300 for solo entries, that’s about 23,000…”

“Not bad, with the task being open for not very long, I’ve earned more than 40,000 points, almost equal to what I’d get from a single relatively troublesome large task that I would do desperately.”

“With these points, I can consider repairing advanced items, but now, the clearance rate seems to have slowed down a lot…”

Colin murmured, then quickly determined the specific reasons after observing the internal group chat for about ten minutes.

Initially, the majority of those who experienced it were F Level Employees…

It’s just that, while this mission offers rewards, its more significant purpose is to improve one’s foundation.

And for F Level Staff, after entering the mission, even if a C Level Elder Brother is lenient and wants to guide, it’s easy to kill them unintentionally.

After all, they are in a semi-uncontrolled status, not a normal one.

So after experiencing being killed off once or twice, they lost their curiosity—in their view, the “World Code-13” task was difficult, but there was a chance to muddle through, and with good luck, they might be carried through…

This one requires real strength; no chance to muddle through means no way forward.

One after another, they cried out in desperation with statements like, “D Level Personnel can’t last three minutes, E level Personnel can’t withstand a minute, F Level Staff can’t hold for three seconds… against such a powerful individual, who else in the company could resist, what else in the company could resist?”

Then came the E level Personnel, some of whom were relatively capable and could barely learn something while taking a beating…

However, not many of them could learn something.

They were somewhat better than the F Level Staff but not by much…

To be frank, this mission was best suited for the current group of somewhat resigned D Level Personnel.

And they also contributed the vast majority of solo entry purchases.

“I guess once everyone’s strength improves, this task can truly make money. For now, although it’s not bad, it’s slightly lacking somehow. Hmm, the official double-duty employees seem to be saving a lot, hardly any of them participating, miserly thieves.”

Not too concerned about this, Colin ordered some takeout and, as usual, took his daily look at the group of “Pseudo-Humans.”

During this time, he had managed to stand his ground in the group and secure some say.

But…

Having a say didn’t seem to be of much use.

So far, Colin had hardly seen any useful information about this race in the group.

All these creatures talked about the whole day was how to imitate humans and the like, not doing any real work at all…

“No discussions about plotting to replace humanity, no display of extraordinary methods other than usurping human corpses, no signs of worshiping any being…”

“Tch, there seem to be some who believe in Buddha or Dao, or some Christ, but they are purely imitating to believe in something…”

“Why do they all have an attitude like they’re just playing games? It’s weird, these creatures, always out experiencing this and that, imitating humans relentlessly, what exactly do they want to do?”

Colin couldn’t help shaking his head.

Having observed for so long, if there were any gains, it wouldn’t have been like now, without any payoff at all.

Currently, all he knew was that they would replace some humans who were about to die, attach themselves like possession, taking over their original daily life, with a steadily increasing number, roughly one person per day…

The first question of each “Pseudo-Human” that joined the group was almost always about various minor everyday troubles.

Colin could clearly feel that they seemed genuinely eager to become human, but he didn’t know what prompted them to have such a desire…

Next, the only thing they were afraid of was “Supernatural Cops”, fearing that if they were discovered one day, they’d be captured and sliced up…
