Chapter 692: Chapter 507 “Subsidiary” Mastering Special Technology._1 Chapter 692: Chapter 507 “Subsidiary” Mastering Special Technology._1 “Head to ruins marker number 796, recover a special site there, mission reward: ‘Base Vehicle’ price reduction, an Energy Crystal Stone, and 999 black breads?”

Colin, upon seeing the third item, showed a puzzled look, wondering what the heck these black breads were?

The first thing that came to his mind was not the black bread he had eaten before…

After all, having done missions for so long, it was the first time he had come across such an odd reward.

However, soon after he saw Shana pull out a black loaf from the “Storage Room,” his face changed immediately, “This… are you sure this can be considered a mission reward?”

“Yes.” Shana nodded, her gaze fixed on the mission requirements, seemingly a bit tempted.

The black bread offered for this mission wasn’t the sour and hard kind…

Which meant that just here, it was worth more than three hundred points, and then there’s the additional savings on the Base Vehicle.

That… actually seemed pretty good?

It was at least a lot better than before…

Of course, Shana also noticed that ever since Colin appeared, the rewards seemed to have increased.

“What do you think?” Shana, holding the parchment, turned to look at Colin next to her, seeking his opinion.

“I’m inclined to refuse.”

Colin shook his head and decisively offered his advice.

Using “black bread” as a mission reward, who are they kidding?

He had completed so many missions and this was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre one.

Pausing for a moment, Colin added an explanation, “The difficulty of this mission is unclear, but to compensate with black bread, I don’t even know how they have the nerve to offer that, and the price reduction isn’t guaranteed; who knows how much they’ll lower it…

“Unless they actually give us the production line, it’s meaningless.”

“Alright, let’s talk about the difficulty. What do you think, how difficult would this mission probably be?”

“Lady Rabbit” usually doesn’t disclose rewards in advance; only after seeing what was obtained do they finalize the amount, but most times, it’s taken for granted that there’s a minimum of a few thousand points as an appearance fee.

They would never compensate with “black bread”…

Revealing rewards beforehand could be seen as them already being aware of the whole task and therefore able to offer a reward upfront.

And through these rewards, you can somewhat guess the level of difficulty.

Of course, this is also some advanced knowledge on assessing mission difficulty distributed by “Life Mentor Adorable” within the employees.

Shana, looking at the reward content and resting her pointer finger on her chin, pondered, “Well… probably, there might be some interaction with remnants of Ancient God level entities, but no direct confrontation…”

“What?!”

Colin was taken aback, wondering if he had heard wrong. Could these rewards mean encountering at least peak Level 2 Containment Subject or even First Level Containment Subject grade Ancient Gods?

A ‘Base Vehicle’ of which the discount amount was unknown, and an Energy Crystal Stone with a use similar to a “Colorless Crystal”.

Plus a thousand black breads…

Are they expecting him to fight Ancient Gods with these items?

Well, not fight Ancient Gods but rather most likely encounter them…

Colin suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for this “Saint,” were all the missions he didn’t accept before like this?

‘Wait, before?’

He had a feeling that he was about to understand something, but logically, it didn’t connect, just like 1+1=2 missing the “+” sign.

The feeling was strange…

Meanwhile, Shana, noticing his look, said with some uncertainty:

“Probably will be…”

Although she didn’t know what Colin was thinking, she could tell that what might have seemed generous to her just a few months ago might not seem as appealing in Mr. Colin’s eyes.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Colin waved his hand, providing a response:

“Reject it, looking any further is a waste of time.”

“Okay, I understand…”

Shana nodded, currently having twenty thousand points in her pocket, she wasn’t in a rush, so there was no need to go out and take risks…

Following Colin’s advice, she unusually refused the mission.

“I’ll take care of the things above the territory, you don’t have to worry too much. After all, saving them is quite beneficial for me as well. You just need to understand the overall situation and if I can’t come over sometimes, help with maintenance.”

Colin briefly said, the “Colorless Crystal” spawned by believers now felt just like the meal before a fight.

If he didn’t take a few pieces, he felt like he lacked the energy to throw punches.

“Okay.” Shana nodded again, without objection.

“Of course, I’ll share some points with you for helping look after the territory.”

Before she could refuse, Colin continued, “Various things in the territory need points, and since there’s income from these tasks, it’s only fair if everyone working on it benefits, but it wouldn’t be right if I were the only one taking them.”

If he could rely on a small part of the basic mission points to have Shana stay here regularly.

He felt it would be quite worthwhile…

After a bit of persuasion, Shana did not refuse.

…

While Colin and Shana were patrolling the territory and discussing work, not far away, Warden Calder, who was interacting with a construction crew led by an Employee Level E, saw the two passing by and couldn’t help but reflect…

He suddenly realized that his perspective was still too narrow.

When the “Hunger” crisis broke out in the city, and Miss Helena, the noble’s daughter, followed Colin’s instructions throughout, he thought there might be some improper relationship between them.

After all, it’s true that some nobles play pretty wildly…

And about that Helena, to be honest, what was known about her character was not exactly commendable…
