Chapter 20: Sanctions from Fate
Lu Youbo has been in a very good mood these days, and even not only him, but several of his teammates are also in a good mood.
If you want to talk about the reason - the mission is much simpler than they thought, for those of them who mostly rely on the mission to eat, there is probably nothing better than that.
For space adventurers, there are some differences even in tasks of the same difficulty, and in terms of type, survival is the most difficult, because if it is for survival, it means that the mission plane is very dangerous, and there will be dangerous things that can kill adventurers at any time.
The second is the confrontation class, or the faction class, because the confrontation type tasks generally appear in the task plane in the war, and in the war, if it is not strong to a certain extent, the role of the individual will be extremely small, and the dangers and variables are endless, and the adventurer himself cannot control it at all, and the confrontation task will generally have hostile adventurers, compared with the task plane, the threat of the peers who know the root is undoubtedly greater.
Finally, there is the task class, or condition class, as long as a specific task is completed or a certain condition is achieved, the task is completed. These tasks are divided into time-limited and untimed categories, and are generally divided into more than two phases. Generally speaking, it is more difficult to have an unlimited time than a limited time, because an unlimited time limit means that the strength of the adventurer is not very good enough to judge the space, and it takes a lot of time and even needs to have a certain growth in the task plane to complete the task.
Lu Youbo's team's mission this time is the conditional class, the first stage of the task is to ask them to rush to the 'Fenrir Far East Branch' within a certain period of time, this kind of task is generally very simple in the first stage, it can be regarded as a stepping stone, and it can be regarded as entering the main topic from the second stage.
The task of the second phase of Lu Youbo's team is to assist Fenrir's Far East Branch in building the 'Aegis', and increase the completion of the 'Aegis' by at least 10% within a month, and this is already the final stage, after which you can return to space.
In terms of type alone, this task is very simple, and it can be said that it belongs to the simplest category.
When he first knew about the second-stage mission, Lu Youbo even wondered for a moment if the space had deliberately given them some benefits considering the unexpected attrition of their team.
Of course, the doubt only lasted for a moment, after all, after being in the space for so long, Lu Youbo has a deep understanding of the indifference and ruthlessness of the space, and the space does not care whether the adventurer is dead or alive, but only cares whether the task is completed or not.
It can only be said that they really drew the lottery this time.
Later, Lu Youbo found that the natives of this world were also unexpectedly powerful, and their strength was very strong, and with the assistance of these 'powerful' adventurers, the completion of that 'Aegis' was increased by more than 5% in the next week.
At this pace, in another week or even less than a week, they will be able to complete the task, and then return to the space safely, receive the task reward, and improve their strength......
Lu Youbo, who feels that the future will get better and better, is simply in good spirits on happy occasions, and he has been a little fluttery when he walks these days.
"Misfortune and blessing depend on it, and this young man can be regarded as the time to operate!" Standing on the tall armored wall of Fenrir's Far East Branch, looking at the huge 'Aegis' glowing with metallic luster on the sea in the distance under the sunset, Lu Youbo took a sip of the allotment of beer in his hand, and his heart was also a little happy.
Although in the past two days, I will hear information from the headquarters of some of my own forces and some branches scattered all over the world, what is 'the strength of the Aragami is rapidly improving', 'The number of mutated Aragami is surging', 'The discovery of a new type of Aragami suspected of being a forbidden species'...... and so on, but this does not affect Lu Youbo's good mood.
The plane level of this world has been certified as A-level by the space, and the mutation of the Aragami will definitely happen, it is just a matter of time, according to the intelligence gathered this week, the speed of this mutation is still very fast, but it is not fast enough, at least Lu Youbo feels that this mutation speed cannot catch up with the speed of his team to complete the task.
When the time comes, complete the mission and return to space, who cares whether this world is dead or alive.
"In other words, there are a lot of good people among these God Eaters, especially the new one named Alyssa, who is a new type of adaptor, who is also of the highest quality, and the one named Sakuya is also good, as well as red hair and pink hair...... Did you pick up a few when you went back? This kind of cargo with a bit of special ability seems to be in demand lately...... Well, let's discuss it with Qingya, Ike and Lao Lei in a while. Lu Youbo, who thought that he had won the task, had already started to make extra money.
Then, Lu Youbo, who was silently obscene, was sanctioned by fate.
On the sea in the distance, the water curtain that connects the sky and the earth bulges from the sea next to the small island built by the 'Aegis', and quickly rises, surpassing the 'Aegis' standing on the island in the blink of an eye, and then, the monstrous sea water rolls down, and a huge beast with a dark yellow metallic luster slowly appears from the water curtain.
"W-What's that?!"
Lu Youbo, who was standing on the armored wall, naturally had a full view of this amazing scene, and then, in Lu Youbo's somewhat dull gaze, the giant beast raised a huge beast claw and fell heavily on the 'Aegis' that symbolized the hope of Lu Youbo's team to complete the mission!
Like an egg hit by a hammer, the hemispherical 'Aegis' shattered!
Listening to the loud noise faintly coming from his ears and feeling the slight vibration of the armor wall under his feet, Lu Youbo, who had a little brain crash, was stunned to watch the huge beast claw flick inside the broken 'Aegis', as if he was looking for something, and finally, as if he was looking for something, the beast claw grabbed something and slowly lifted it up, stuffed it into a big mouth full of sharp teeth.
Lu Youbo, who followed the huge beast claw and moved his gaze in a daze, only then did he see clearly what the giant beast that smashed his team's mission hope with one claw was.
"Dragons, dragon turtles?!" stammered a name that Lu Youbo himself didn't believe.
The dragon's head, dragon claws, dragon tail, turtle body, and the yellow dragon scales all over the body, things that have only been heard in myths and legends appear in front of him, or in such an extremely shocking way, Lu Youbo, who has experienced a lot of magical things, no longer knows how to think at this time.
Although Lu Youbo had thought that in this omnipotent space, as long as he kept getting stronger, sooner or later he would encounter those mythical things that only existed in his original imagination, but he didn't expect that this day would come so early and make him desperate.
The shrill sirens that sounded behind him were already deaf, looking at the giant dragon turtle that had eaten the 'eggshell' of the 'Aegis' in the distance and then rode straight to the base in the wind and waves, Lu Youbo slowly sat down on the ground, not even knowing when the beer can in his hand had fallen, and there was only one thought in his heart.
"It's over, it's all over."
