Chapter 787 - 787 551 A Special Task _2

Chapter 787: Chapter 551 “A Special Task” _2 Chapter 787: Chapter 551 “A Special Task” _2 Displaying the effect, he could, if he wished, crush a building into a dense sphere in a matter of minutes.

“There’s nothing fancy about the ability, the core is ‘Gravity’, 49% is enough. The rest of the Points should be used on ‘Time Stasis’ as much as possible.”

With that thought, Colin was quite satisfied as he pocketed the item and picked up the parchment.

Then, he suddenly noticed something…

The second phase of the mission that usually comes after the first wasn’t popping up immediately?

“What’s going on?”

Colin raised an eyebrow, he hadn’t noticed this when he was checking the results of the mission earlier, but now he realized that normally, the next major phase of the mission should have appeared.

However, as he puzzled over it, the second round of the mission finally made its appearance…

[Promotion Qualification Event 2——]

[“A Special Event”: This is a special mission. What’s special about it is that it’s very special, whether it’s the rewards or the content are extremely special.]

“Huh?”

Colin stared at the mission, baffled. Is this… for real?

And wasn’t the second phase supposed to be a seven-day tour of the Joyful Farmstead?

How come it’s not quite what was agreed upon…

Confused, Colin clicked on the mission details to check the specifics.

…

“Mission Explanation”: This mission has no specific direction; complete the event, pass with a sufficient rating, and you will obtain C Level corporate privileges.

“Requirement 1”: Please repair your highest proficiency Golden Card to meet the “Item Liberation” requirements before the countdown of 57 days, 21 hours, and 29 minutes ends.

“Requirement 2”: Please repair your other “Rare” and “Ultra-Rare” items to above 69% before the countdown of 57 days, 21 hours, and 29 minutes ends.

“Note”: Subsequent requirements are ongoing, refreshing, please wait…

…

“???”

Colin frowned, looking over the mission again, realizing that the requirements were all about repairing his own items; in other words, they demanded that he quickly enhance his overall strength.

This… Colin thought for two seconds, feeling that “Lady Rabbit” probably intercepted the “Joyful Farmstead seven-day tour.”

Was it because she thought he wasn’t capable of completing the mission yet, so she wanted him to improve his strength before considering executing it… or was it for some other reason?

“And also this mission explanation, after completion, as long as you pass, you’re directly promoted to C Level, no need to queue for eligibility?”

Colin remembered that originally, completing this mission would just give the chance to qualify for a C Level upgrade.

As for whether or not one could get promoted to C Level…

That would specifically depend on what the requirements were at the time of promotion, and whether there were any slots available. If there were no slots, one would have to queue and wait indefinitely.

However, the dark comedy is that with so many high-level executives dead in the company, there should be slots everywhere…

Maybe because of this, one could get promoted directly upon completion?

“Just don’t know if there will be any other enhancement requirements after this part is done.”

Colin looked at the note, and it seemed like there were going to be more than these two requirements.

After some thought, he opened the company’s internal communication system and entered a small group, sending out a message.

“654321”: I have completed the first phase of the “Promotion Qualification Mission”…

As soon as it was sent, a bunch of people popped up in the group, bursting into cheers.

“Life Mentor Adorable”: Finally, it’s coming! I also completed the “Fifteenth Ring” mission a few days ago, now just waiting in ‘Joyful Farmstead seven-day tour’ on standby for Brother Shunzi to join!

“Only lewd images reign supreme”: Quick, quick, quick, I’ve been waiting too, just waiting for Brother Shunzi to make a grand gesture, and we can all charge towards that broken farmstead together!

“Superman when happy”: Count me in, count me in! I’ll call 6 so fast!

“Surprised Porridge”: @654321, wait up, Brother Shunzi, I’m just a few points short of “Item Liberation”, wait for me…

…

A bunch of the company’s “elite veterans” all came out. Although they knew that the missions Brother Shunzi took part in were likely to involve this or that kind of incident.

But at the same time, Brother Shunzi’s rate of success was guaranteed.

So far, the death rate among those who have teamed up with him was still “0”.

Plus, they have experienced Brother Shunzi’s combat power several times first-hand, so even if there might be danger during the “Joyful Farmstead Seven-Day Tour”, the employees were still willing to give it a shot.

After all, as seasoned veterans, they had carried out many events and could vaguely feel that something foreboding was on the horizon.

Before, there wasn’t an opportunity, and since the promotion task for Second Order D Level was so difficult, many people just gave up.

Now that there was finally a glimmer of hope, they definitely wanted to seize it.

However, what quickly disappointed them was that it seemed Brother Shunzi wasn’t part of this task?

Following that, everyone was taken aback upon seeing the description of Brother Shunzi’s task—it seemed a bit off…

Repair one’s own items?

Though it was true that there were other C Level qualification tasks besides the farm, none of them included Shunzi’s—

A new type?

“Looking at it this way, it should be confirmed that ‘Lady Rabbit’ gave this task to me specifically.”

Colin briefly communicated, then closed the chat group.

Then he opened up the task requirements to take another look, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

The requirements at first glance seemed not too difficult, just to repair items.

But the problem was…

“Within two months, all orange gear and golden artifacts must be repaired to at least 69%, this, if I’m not mistaken, just one Golden Card repair to meet the requirements is close to two hundred thousand points, including a need for an ‘Item Liberation’ repair to 85%… Where am I going to get so many points from?”

Colin didn’t even dare to carefully think about the points needed, because just the thought of it made his scalp tingle.

Currently, he had a total of four Golden Cards in his hand, and apart from “Time Stasis” which was just at “69%”, the completeness of all the others was at “49%”.

Then, besides the four Golden Cards, he also had a golden artifact, the “Shield Badge of Fairness and Justice”.

Although it was rented from Shana, but she didn’t seem to want it back now; rounding up, that was practically his own…

Plus, there were other various items.

“So, does this mean that I need to earn around a million points or so in just under two months to possibly meet its requirements?”

Colin opened his mouth in disbelief, how was this any different from setting “a small goal to earn first” in a short amount of time?

Upon further reflection, it seemed even more difficult than that “Fifteenth Ring task” from earlier!

However…

Upon careful consideration, if he went all out, it wasn’t entirely out of reach.

“Borrow some from the officials, take on some tasks, plus the weekly cuts from trades, and the income from task instances… No, still not quite enough.”

Colin estimated that he couldn’t afford to relax; whenever he had time, he would have to proactively take on tasks.

But before that, he sent a message to Old Master Wu:

“Are you there? Can I borrow some points from the officials? I need it for something urgent.”

“How many?”

“Roughly just a million points or so will do.”

“How many???”

On the other side of the phone, in a region of calamity, Old Master Wu stared at the message on his phone, wondering if he had started to become illiterate or was hallucinating?

Otherwise, how could he be seeing such an outrageous message?

It wasn’t until Colin sent another message to confirm this that Old Master Wu remained silent for a while before responding.

“In the entire Southern Region south of Huainan, there are a total of 249 employees of various levels, who, since half a year ago up until now, have accumulated a total of less than three million points, and most of it has already been spent on purchasing items and certain upgrades; the idle points are probably less than one hundred thousand…”

Old Master Wu did not reply directly whether he would lend the points or not, he simply stated the official situation.

However, between the lines, Colin felt as if Old Master Wu was implying something like:

Have a little shame, won’t you…

“Idle points are less than one hundred thousand? Is the official side really that broke?”

Colin, holding the phone in his right hand and scratching his head with his left, muttered under his breath before continuing to type, not giving up on borrowing points.
