Chapter 629 - 629 470 The First 15 Events for D Level

Chapter 629: Chapter 470 “The First 15 Events for D Level Promotion Qualification!”_2 Chapter 629: Chapter 470 “The First 15 Events for D Level Promotion Qualification!”_2 “Well, indeed it’s not an extraordinary method, for I am one of the Extraordinary Ones. Whether there’s extraordinary power involved, I’ll know with just a touch.”

“Ms. Silver, may I ask how is this achieved?”

“I don’t know, I just do it when I feel like it.”

“Don’t understand, I really don’t understand…”

“Impossible, there’s no reason for this, it violates all existing knowledge. Wait, the surface is so smooth. Could we take a slice to look at under a microscope?”

“Sure.”

“…”

Watching the bewildered expressions on the faces of the on-site projection staff, Colin couldn’t help but click his tongue in awe.

Although the Little Maid said this gadget was of no real use, it still brought a small dose of “nanotechnology” shock to the personnel on-site.

Even as the Little Maid made it in front of them, observed with all sorts of instruments.

The final conclusion still was incomprehension.

In this process, the Little Maid first gathered a pile of materials, mixed them, then melted… Up to this point, everything seemed understandable.

The difficulty, in people’s eyes, was no harder than 1+1.

But the next second, the Little Maid merged herself into the still-hot metal.

And then everything became incomprehensible.

Approximately two hours passed.

The product mysteriously materialized, astonishing everyone present.

“Looking at this, in the short term, it’s indeed unlikely that the officials will make any breakthrough progress.”

One can only say, no wonder this is something that stumped a bunch of shelters in “The Seventh Box Garden World,” there are indeed many unfathomable elements to it.

Afterwards, having dealt with dinner, Colin looked at his upcoming tasks.

Apart from the next trade of props and “The Descent Project” next Monday, there didn’t seem to be anything else…

“No, it seems there’s still something to do.”

Colin sat cross-legged on the bed, perusing the parchment, and noticed that shortly after the third Gene Compensation injection, details about the “D Level Promotion Qualification Task” appeared on the parchment.

After completing this, the “D Level Promotion Qualification Trial” would begin.

“The first round of D Level promotion is a random task, the second round is the fixed Joyful Farmstead, but there’s still too little information about this farmstead…”

Colin shook his head and then hesitated slightly about whether to embark on the preparatory task for the promotion.

If he accepted it, then there would not be a moment’s rest to come…

As “the seniors” have said, the preparatory task involves quickly completing ten slightly less difficult regular tasks.

So far, there hasn’t been any fatality rate, and the risk level isn’t high.

The only difficulty lies in “speed.”

The time requirement is very tight, such that even seasoned employees might not be able to finish on time.

Of course, that’s just the case for the average employee. When it comes to himself, Colin suspected that not only would “speed” be important, but the difficulty might also rise a notch…

After all, the company has great “flexibility” in arranging individual tasks.

“Oh, the problem must come from ‘Lady Rabbit’…”

Colin recalled the descriptions of this entity in Rosen’s handwritten notes.

Then, considering the potential disasters that might arise in the future, he sighed deeply.

“It’s a life of hard work.”

As he finished speaking, Colin pressed his thumb to the parchment, initiating the preparatory task.

[Task “Fifteen Events within the Specified Time” has been issued, please open the task bar for details.]

“Ah? Fifteen? ”

Colin was startled; this didn’t quite match what “the seniors” had told him.

Weren’t they supposed to have only ten rounds?

This isn’t human.

Colin grumbled to himself and opened the task bar to check—

[“Fifteen Events within the Specified Time”]

“Description”: Starting from this moment, three consecutive tasks will be issued every week, please complete them within the specified time. If you fail, please pay Points again and return after a day.

If you fail three times in a row, this task will be postponed and restarted after fifteen days.

“Current Completion”: 0/15.

“This Week’s Task 1”:

“Description”: Please enter the target area (roughly an abandoned underground mine) before 9:30 pm as per the mission guidelines, wait for and board the “Fog Train,” and disembark at the fourth station to receive new action content…

“Remarks”: Please complete the task as soon as possible and continue to trigger subsequent events.

…

“Ah, this… People get two a week, and you schedule three for me, huh? Would it kill you to allocate two weeks of spare time…”

Colin was somewhat lost for words, only hoping that the difficulty of the mission wouldn’t be too high.

If it were like the previous missions he undertook, finishing three in a week would be virtually impossible.

Let alone three, sometimes one complex mission couldn’t be completed in a week.

However, according to the mission guidelines, he roughly sensed that the indicated location seemed quite far…

It might even be beyond the province where he resided.

“The current time is, a little past six in the evening…”

To cover the distance, he had two choices, one was to fly into the sky, masquerade as a shooting star, and hurry on his way, clearly exposing himself.

Yet, exposure wasn’t the most important thing, Colin knew that doing so…

would set off a bunch of authoritative experts to debunk saying it looked like “this and that.”

Just like when a mission would cause a sky-rending tumult and buildings to fall askew, and after an investigation, it’d be attributed to a gas canister explosion; as long as there was an intent to explain, it could be easily explained…

If it really couldn’t be explained, they’d press it down, push out some celebrity big news, take the chance to delete records, track down through connections, and wipe memories clean, dragging it out.

So exposure wasn’t the focus, the focus was that such prolonged travel would prevent him from maintaining a good condition.

And the second option was to turn to the officials when in doubt…

“I need to make a long trip later, I need some help, lend me the fastest aircraft possible.”

Colin composed a message and sent it to Xu Duojin.

After a pause, he added another message: “Parking nearby, I can operate it myself.”

Currently, all vehicles, the Little Maid could operate—

Even more so, the more advanced and precise the intelligent machinery, the smoother she handled them.

It didn’t take more than about ten seconds after sending the message for Xu Duojin to give a clear reply and inform him where to go.

Colin glanced at the leftover food on the table not far away, sent a message to Qin Chuan, Hu Zheng, and Xia Liufang to come over for dinner at his place, and then immediately set into action.

Somewhat later, on a private airfield not open to the public, after the roar of an engine, Colin boarded a fighter jet, flying straight towards the target location…

“Hiss…”

The pilot in the cockpit looked up and saw the young man sitting on the glass above his head, fastened as if welded there, unaffected by the powerful airflow blowing over him, and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

But ignoring the gazes of others, Colin remotely directed the fighter jet towards his intended direction.

In the meantime due to the long flight path, Colin switched to another fighter jet that met up with him mid-air.

Later, around 8:50 pm, he arrived above the target location.

Facing the howling wind and clouds, Colin spread his arms, flames ignited on his body, closed his eyes, leaned back, and executed a leap of faith…

“Boom!”

It wasn’t long before Colin fell to the earth like a meteor, kicking up a cloud of dust.

In the woods, he looked around and quickly found an abandoned mine.

Inside, it was dark and grim, with a faint unclean smell.

“Considering the ‘Fog Train’s’ characteristics, there’s probably something in this mine shaft, but it shouldn’t be too big of a problem…”

Colin stepped on the uneven stones and moved to the entrance of the mine shaft, lifted his foot, and kicked open the not-so-sturdy iron gate, then strode inside.

Inside the mine, many charms and unknown mechanical devices could be seen.

“The officials seem to have dealt with this place, but it’s likely a seal rather than a complete containment and resolution.”

Colin observed while advancing deeper as per the mission requirements.

Eventually, in an underground cavern that was spacious and much warmer than the surface, he stopped moving.

“It’s past nine, the train should be coming soon, huh?”

Colin checked the time on his phone, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, feeling an invisible terror spreading from all directions of the mine’s caverns, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive, with foul whispers echoing in his ears.

However, with a “whoosh,” flames churned and burned.

The intangible terror receded like a tide…
