Chapter 4: "Falcon"
"Scene: Noras Town and its vicinity (Eisende Continent)"
"Description: As one of the most famous bounty hunters in several nearby cities, you have always earned the nickname 'Falcon'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć InfoThis time you received a secret commission from the Bounty Guild in Zinga City about the small town of Noras, and you can't refuse a high bounty. As a result, they were ambushed on the way there..."
"Main Quest: Arrival"
"Objective: Arrive in Noras Town, find Mayor Fillin, the publisher of the commission, and ask about it."
"Time Limit: 12 hours"
"Task Tips: If this task fails or times out, the assessment will end early, and the assessment will be judged to have failed."
"Hint: the sooner the better, Mayor Film's can't wait."
"Tip: In the reserve assessment, some functions are not enabled temporarily."
"Assessor Chu Fang, since this is your first mission world, the following warnings are hereby given, and the mission world will no longer prompt after that."
"Warning: You can interact with creatures in the quest world, but you can't divulge information about infinite space in any way."
"Warning: The difficulty and plot of the quest world are not static, and they will change depending on your actions, so please be cautious."
"Tip: You can check your personal stats at any time in the quest world, and you can improve them if the conditions are met."
A scene that only Chu Fang could see was displayed in front of him, and after browsing it again, it dissipated in the air.
Seeing the hint that the sooner the better, Chu Fang didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately turned over and got up and trotted along the road not far away.
After running for a while, Chu Fang came to a three-way intersection, looked down slightly, and found an intersection along the horse's hoof prints to continue running.
Chu Fang's physique is not high, his endurance is average, and he is a little tired after running for so long, but he found that the horse's hoof prints are getting clearer and clearer, so he sped up a little faster, and with the support of first-order agility, he finally saw a three-wheeled carriage before he was exhausted, and the driver of the carriage was a red-haired sturdy middle-aged man.
"Hello, are you going to the town of Noras?"
It may be that Chu Fang's young face reassured the coachman and replied, "Yes."
"It just so happens that my destination is also there, I am very tired from walking, can you please give me a ride along the way, I can pay for it." Chu Fang knew that the key to the main task was in this carriage, as long as he responded quickly when he received the task, he would be able to catch a ride.
"No problem, but I'm sorry for you to sit outside and squeeze with Atay." The voice of a middle-aged lady came from the carriage.
Atai is the coachman outside, Chu Fang hurriedly got into the car after thanking him, and he was a little overwhelmed after running for so long.
Taking advantage of the gap between the rests, Chu Fang had his own character column to look at it.
Name: Chu Fang
Title: Falcon (Title Skill: Summons a Disembodied Spirit Owl for Scouting, Owl's Vision Sharing, Duration Associated with Perception Spirit, Cooldown: 24 hours) The current title is locked and cannot be changed.

Although the space arranges a very secure aboriginal identity, the current attributes are exactly the same as the personal attributes detected before the assessment, which is the authenticity of the space. The better the foundation, the easier it is to complete the assessment tasks, which is also the main reason why students work hard. However, this character column still provided a lot of information for Chu Fang.
After clearing his thoughts, Chu Fang began to talk to the red-haired coachman Atai. It soon became known that Artai and the lady in the carriage had come to Noras from the city of Singa to sell their goods, and that they had been in regular contact twice a month, and this time was the second time of the month.
"Altay, have you noticed anything different about Noras recently?"
"It's no different, the town of Noras is still so beautiful." Atai said with a big grin.
It is definitely not a trivial matter to be able to cause the town mayor to personally issue a high reward, Chu Fang said again: "Atai, think about it carefully, don't worry. ā
"As soon as you say it, I remember that the last time we came, we sold less than before, and we had a little left after two days. Last month, it was still selling well, and it was sold out in one day when it was full. ā
Chu Fang nodded thoughtfully.
The carriage kept moving forward in the small talk between the two, and it wasn't long before the outline of a small town appeared in the distance.
Soon the carriage came to the gate of the city, paid the entrance fee, and drove leisurely inside. When they arrived at their destination, Chu Fang also had to say goodbye to the pair of small businessmen for the time being.
"We have to find a place to unload the goods first, if you need any help, you can come to the hotel to find me, my wife and I have been staying there for the past two days." Before leaving, Atai lowered his voice and said to Chu Fang.
As a harvest that has been practiced in the nightmare space for a long time, Chu Fang's eloquence has already been perfected. In just this time, he was quite familiar with this bold coachman, and those who didn't know thought they had been friends for many years.
"Host Trigger Nightmare Badge Mission: Extermination!"
"Objective: Kill Bartlet's (complete as long as he dies)"
"Mission Duration: Before Returning to Infinite Space"
"Mission Failure Penalty: Obliteration!"
As soon as Ah Tai and his party left, the nightmare badge on Chu Fang's chest suddenly became hot and flashed with a red light.
There was a unique bloody voice in the nightmare space.
Before the system sound was finished, it suddenly felt like a phone line was pulled in the middle of a call, and there was a busy sound.
"Tick, tick, tick, due to unknown interference, confirmed as the Infinite Space Reserve Initial Mission Protection Procedure."
"Mission objective changed to: Disrupt Bartlet's plot against the small town of Noras."
"The mission period remains the same, and the mission failure penalty remains the same!"
"Mission Reward: Unknown"
Without any hints, without any context, it's just a blunt mission and the brutal death punishment that comes with it.
This is the nightmare that Chu Fang is familiar with!
However, due to the protection of the infinite space for reserve students who are on the mission for the first time and belong to the assessment task, the Nightmare Badge mission this time is still very difficult.
According to the teachings of the lecturers in the classroom and the introductions in the books he has read in the past year, Chu Fang has clearly understood the several types of tasks in the infinite space.
Before the change, the quest was a hunt mission, and the completion requirements were simple, as long as the mission target was killed, but sometimes the contractor was required to personally participate in the killing.
The changed task is a performance task. Most of the requirements given for this kind of task are very general, there is no limit to the method of completion, and the criteria for judging the achievement of the task are even more diverse.
For example, in the current "sabotage of Bartlet's plot against Noras Town", killing him directly is definitely the most complete and obvious way, and then forcing him to retreat and run away, or imprisoning him, or even strengthening the town's guards, persuading the other party to abandon the plan, etc., can be considered completed.
After the completion of this task, the results will be rated according to the four levels: Pass, Good, Excellent and Perfect. The higher the rating, the better the reward will be.
However, even if it is only a minimum passing evaluation, you will be considered to have passed the task. Therefore, the difficulty of this badge mission change can be said to have plummeted.
At the end of the task, the strangeness of the nightmare badge on Chu Fang's chest was slowly lifted and returned to its original state.
"Unknown, mission reward?"
Chu Fang stared expectantly at the Nightmare Badge that had returned to calm, without the slightest fear of death punishment.
