A Difficult Mission
Chapter 639 – A Difficult Mission
Lan Xuanyu listened attentively to Xiao Qi’s every word and kept them in his heart. This was experience and was very important to them.
Xiao Qi pointed at the big screen in front of him and said, "There is a rank marker above the big screen that shows the difficulty of the mission. Generally speaking, the lower the difficulty of the mission, the higher the number of missions and it is also more convenient for you to choose. The higher the difficulty, the lesser the number of missions. The higher the difficulty, the more dangerous it is and the harder it is to complete. I recommend that all of you try a level one or two mission first for getting a feeling of it first. Then, you can go through a high difficulty mission. Now, follow me to register yourselves. After the registration, all of you can move freely and look at the missions."
The registration process wasn’t complicated. Knowing that they would be coming today, the academy had already prepared everything for them. Also, the academy had their records. In fact, the registration process was mainly to get them to sign and confirm that they had the resources to complete the academy’s mandatory missions before handing in the soul communication devices.
After handing over the communication devices, Xiao Qi gave the order to move freely. He didn’t leave and anyone could ask him anything.
Lan Xuanyu and his teammates came to the bottom of the screen to take a look. He wanted to see what kind of missions there were.
He didn’t look at the lower level 1, 2, and 3 mission screens but went straight to the level 4 difficulty.
The academy required them to reach an average mission level of four. In other words, they should be able to complete the level four mission.
He looked at the big screen in front of him. On the big screen, there were many levels of difficulty, and they were rolling non-stop. There was an id in front of each mission. Next to it was a brief description of the mission, and the details could only be checked at the operating table. And then there were the corresponding points.
Fourth rank difficulty mission: id 137, head to the Blazing Fire Planet to obtain Blazing Fire Crystals. By bringing ten Blazing Fire Crystals weighing over 50 grams the mission can be considered completed. Each gram of Blazing Fire Crystals corresponds to a point. The final points are exchanged according to the number of Blazing Fire Crystals. Completion of the mission will reward an additional 100 points.
Blazing Fire Planet? Lan Xuanyu had never heard of this place before.
It didn’t sound like a comfortable place.
Rank 4 difficulty mission: id 1239. Follow the Federal Fleet to explore the Mammoth Galaxy and become a vanguard exploration team member. An exploration time of over 100 hours and gaining the approval of the military will complete the mission. There is no limit to the number of people. The points reward is determined by the Federal military. The lowest guarantee is 100 points.
Where was the Mammoth Galaxy? Lan Xuanyu was at a loss. If this was a very far
Fourth rank difficulty mission: id 1629. Head to Heaven Planet and hunt a seven-ring Soul Sage space pirate. Must be on the Federal wanted list. Number of participants: three. Appendix: Federal wanted list. Mission reward: 200 points.
This was a mission to Heaven Planet! It seemed alright, but how to enter the planet was a problem. They had to find a way to enter and conceal their identities. This didn’t seem easy.
Lan Xuanyu looked at the missions one by one and realized that all the level four missions were not so simple. There were many that required sufficient preparation.
This was only a level four difficulty mission. Lan Xuanyu walked to the side to look at the level five difficulty mission.
What he saw made him speechless. One of the group missions allowed up to 40 people. The mission requirement was to annihilate a space pirate crew. That space pirate crew had a Soul Douluo rank powerhouse overseeing it and had six warships. How could an ordinary person without sufficient resources do that?
After looking at a few more missions, Lan Xuanyu felt that it was impossible for them to complete them. He couldn’t help but walk over to Xiao Qi and ask, "Teacher, why do I feel that there are many missions here that we can’t complete? I can’t even see any hope for the level five difficulty."
Xiao Qi said, "That’s right. Did you think it would be easy to get military achievements? In fact, if you want to complete some missions, not only do you have to have your own team and connections, but you also have to have sufficient strength and resources. For example, having a small fleet of your own. Those large-scale missions are actually addressed to our factions. The Federation’s system is called the Sky Battle Net. Everyone who goes on missions is called a Sky Fighter. The truly powerful Sky Fighters have their own teams. Relatively speaking, the students in our academy execute more individual missions because compared to other factions, we pay more attention to individual abilities. So, you can pay more attention to individual missions. Those team missions all require the support of a faction."
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, "I’ll take a look then."
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Don’t you know Zheng Longjiang? You can ask him. He completed his missions very well and is the most outstanding among his peers. His experience should be helpful to you."
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up. ‘That’s right! I can ask Zheng Longjiang. This senior was an eight-ring soul master back then. Could he be a Titled Douluo now? Then he must have completed many difficult missions, right?’
Everyone was looking at the mission screen excitedly, trying to determine which missions were suitable for them, whether they could complete them or not.
But without exception, they didn’t have any clue. After all, this was their first time coming into contact with these. And almost all of the missions had to be completed on foreign planets. The simpler ones were to cooperate with the military and cooperate with the Federation’s Space Fleet to complete some missions. The harder part was to complete the missions alone.
This caused everyone to be at a loss. After arriving here, Xiao Qi didn’t explain much. He basically said everything he could. As for how to choose a mission and how to complete it, these were all tests for the students.
Today was the first contact for everyone, and this allowed them to understand why Teacher Xiao wanted them to choose a simpler mission first. It was because they had to familiarize themselves with a mission and its process was very important.
Lan Xuanyu observed for over an hour before leaving. He also looked at the interface of some high difficulty missions. There were not any missions above level six here. After asking around, he found out that one needed to have sufficient points to look at the interface of a level seven mission. Sky Fighters were also divided into levels. Only high-level Sky Fighters could accept those high-level missions. One was for safety, and the other was for the secrecy of the mission. At high-level missions, most of the time, the contents of the missions were Federation secrets. They were not allowed to be seen without identity verification.
Although he couldn’t see a level seven mission, even if it was a level six mission, Lan Xuanyu was dumbstruck. One of the level six missions had a description like this: Kill any God level Overlord on Heaven Planet. There was no limit on the number of people and methods.
Killing a god rank powerhouse was a level six mission? Then what was a level seven mission? Was it to destroy a planet?
After careful observation, Lan Xuanyu discovered some rules. These mandatory missions were collectively called Sky Fighter missions. Among these missions, the difficulty of the missions would increase exponentially with every level of difference. And the higher the level of the mission, the higher the difficulty.
The first two levels of missions were relatively simple, and most of them simply took up a lot of time. With their abilities, they were able to do it. However, missions at the third level or above were difficult or even dangerous, so they had to choose carefully.
