Chapter 156: Follow-up Mission!
Dak City is also one of the largest cities in the entire Principality of Belmar. The radius stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and there are 36 gates for entering and exiting the city. The permanent population is as high as one million.
Although when it came time to ask for help from Dark, the garrison commander was holding back. But now that Fan Kang and the others had successfully arrived at Duck City with the surviving townspeople, the defenders did not stop them much.
As a result of this zombie rampant, residents of many surrounding towns were forcibly displaced. In response to this, the local government of Duck City specially arranged a place to settle the refugees, and even distributed relief food.
When Fan Kang and the others were taking over the townspeople by the defenders, they received a prompt sound from the Free Domain.
"No. 22222 Traverser has completed Main Mission 1 and Main Mission 2 and activated the conditions for accepting Mission 3......"
"The quest rewards you have obtained so far in this world are: 2300 gold, 5 basic skill points, 2 characteristic skill points, 3 mental power, 4 strength, 3 agility points, 2 physical strength ......"
"After activating Main Mission 3, you can get the right to stay in this world for a period of 3 days. You can still stay in this world for 9 days, 06 hours and 24 minutes. After 9 days, you will be forcibly sent back to the Freedom Realm, regardless of whether the subsequent main quests are completed or not. and unfinished tasks are treated as failures......"
Main quest 3: In 5 days, get acquainted with the 5 unofficial forces in Darke City. And within 5 days, he obtained an invitation to the Ma family tea party, one of the 5 major forces, and erased 3 traversers.
Rewards: 2000 gold, 5 basic skill points, 3 characteristic skill points. Increases the character's stamina by 3, Strength by 2, Mental Health by 4, and Agility by 3.
Result of mission failure: 4,000 gold deducted, 7 basic skill points, and 2 characteristic skill points. If there is a negative value of gold, basic skill points, or characteristic skill points, they will be wiped out directly!
Note: In addition to the official forces, the Ma family has only prepared 3 invitations for the other 4 major forces.
Fan Kang looked thoughtfully at the task and found a hotel to stay in.
As for Green and the others, as soon as they arrived in Duck City, they lost their common goal. These people who don't have any friendships naturally have to part ways. You know, they're competitors next.
According to the task prompt, Fan Kang was probably able to guess that the so-called invitation to the Ma family's tea party was most likely to require the traverser to go to the hands of the other four major forces.
Among the four major forces, each has only 3 invitations, for a total of 12. Not to mention that there were other traversers in Dak City at this time, there were no less than 20 people who were traveling with Fan Kang. It is foreseeable that even if the time-traveler obtains the invitation from the four unofficial forces in Darke City, there will inevitably be a bitter struggle.
Moreover, in the main quest 3, there are hard indicators for killing 3 traversers. According to Fan Kang's knowledge of the realm of freedom, such a mission would inevitably provoke a vicious fight among the traversers. In this way, even if the survivor kills 3 traversers, the invitation may not be available to everyone.
In this way, Fan Kang also understands why the Free Realm requires the traverser to complete the main quest 2 before opening the main quest 3. I'm afraid it's also for statistics, and then adjust the difficulty of the task according to the situation.
For Fan Kang, intelligence is his brain. Without intelligence, he couldn't make a plan, so the first thing Fan Kang did after entering the city was to inquire about the five unofficial forces in Dak City.
Places like taverns are always the best place to ask for information. There are people from three religions and nine streams here, and the amount of information is huge. Although it may not be accurate in terms of details. But in terms of general information, Fan Kang is still confident that he can distinguish the authenticity from the false.
As far as he knows, these five major forces are ostensibly businessmen, but the business they do secretly is similar to that of gangsters. In other words, these five major forces are not just a little money, but a large number of families. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the strength of the official defenders, the armed forces of these five major forces would be enough to level the strength of the government.
This has also indirectly led to a significant increase in the difficulty of getting invitations for traversers. If a certain family is too strong to capture the invitation, then the struggle between the traversers is bound to be even more fierce.
A frontal assault is undoubtedly a fool's choice. Naturally, Fan Kang would not use this method of self-defeat. Since you can't clash head-on, then infiltrating the 5 major forces is the best option.
It's just that if Fan Kang can think of this method, other traversers will naturally think of it. Moreover, once a traverser makes a move, it will inevitably startle the snake, so that those gangster forces will increase their defense forces. Therefore, what Fan Kang has to do is to do it before the other traversers make a move.
Fan Kang spent a few small bucks, and soon learned from those drunkards about some of the industries of the five major forces in Duck City.
Based on this, Fan Kang roughly counted the strength of the five major forces.
Among the five major forces, the Zhangjia family has the least territory and the number of people is not very large. It looks quite like a soft persimmon, and it is most suitable to pick it.
It's just that considering that other traversers will also think that the Zhang family is the best to start, there will be more traversers who choose the Zhang family, so Fan Kang quickly moved the target away.
Among the remaining 4 major forces, except for the Ma family, which made the invitation, the strength is not far apart. The Wang family is powerful, and the people under him are all fierce and aggressive by nature. If you talk about the guard power alone, it is the most powerful of the three, and it is really a hard bone to gnaw.
As for the other two, they also have their own strengths. One family has an extraordinary military background, and the background is extremely hard. The other has eyes and ears all over the three religions and nine streams, and the intelligence system is quite developed. To fight its idea, it is naturally even more difficult.
The Ma family can be said to be the leading boss. Although the Ma family does not have the largest number of people, the industry is the most widely distributed and the largest number. Wealth is naturally second to none.
Since the Ma family can maintain the position of the leading boss, its true strength will naturally not be as mediocre as it seems on the surface.
Fan Kang has always believed that although the free field says that there are only 12 invitations on the surface, there are loopholes to exploit. The Ma family sent an invitation to the tea party, in addition to the other 4 major forces, the Ma family should at least invite some official bigwigs, right? If you want to make an invitation, you won't just prepare 12 of them.
So, here's the problem. If there are actually a lot of invitations made by the Ma family, then Fan Kang should fight the idea of the Ma family instead of going to the other four major forces to grab them. There is no doubt that the strength of the Ma family is the strongest, but fortunately, few people will fight its idea.
Without the traverser and Fan Kang competing to dismantle the stage, wouldn't Fan Kang's grasp be much greater?
No matter how bad it is, even if Fan Kang can't get the invitation from the Ma family, he can fight the other 4 families at that time.
Now that the key to the matter has been clarified, Fan Kang has a general direction for his actions. Now, what he has to do is to inquire about the Ma family who made the invitation, or who had been in contact with the invitation.
This person's identity should not be too high, if it is too high, not only will the residence be heavily guarded, but it will also be difficult to keep the finishing touches unnoticed.
But this person's identity should not be too low, if it is too low, he will not be able to contact these core affairs at all, and a lot of precious time will be wasted.
In this strange city, Fan Kang is not an all-knowing and all-powerful prophet, so naturally he can't choose this person directly. What's more, I'm afraid that he doesn't have so much time to study slowly now.
So Fan Kang went straight to an industry owned by the Ma family, and deliberately provoked two gangsters who were not even considered underworlds. These two thugs saw that Fan Kang was generous at the beginning, and they were alone, so they inevitably wanted to fight Fan Kang's idea.
As a result, when Fan Kang showed his fangs, the two unlucky ghosts were dragged to the dark alley behind them with a frightened face.
Five minutes later, Fan Kang lightly shook the blood on his hand and left. He got the information he wanted, but the two poor guys couldn't save their lives.
Unlike the other 4 major forces, the Ma family was originally born in the underworld, but in recent years, after making enough capital, they gradually faded out and turned to the right line. The Ma family's underworld roots are not deep.
Even if the Ma family is gradually fading out of the underworld now, the people under him still can't bear to live a boring life in their bones. Under the strict prohibition of the family, although they rarely have nothing to do, they only like to get drunk on their own turf.
The Drunken Immortal Pavilion is a happy place where many Ma families like to go in and out.
The scale of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion was not as large as Fan Kang had imagined. From the outside, it is nothing more than a medium-sized winery. And the waiter at the door looked indifferent, and had no intention of soliciting guests at all.
And Fan Kang even noticed that if you want to enter it, you still need to hand in a membership card or something.
Although the two attendants at the door were both strong and sturdy appearances, they were not taken seriously by Fan Kang. It is not difficult to defeat them or even kill them, but the difficulty is to go in and seek information without revealing a trace, so as to avoid causing a big deal by surprise......
As a result, Fan Kang can only spend more time waiting for the rabbit.
Fortunately, Fan Kang, as a killer lurking in the shadows, is not lacking patience. In addition, it was night, and Fan Kang was hiding in the surrounding carriage, so no one would notice him.
Speaking of which, this carriage was originally used to pick up people. Because the owner was looking for joy in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the coachman was bored and accidentally found a few gold coins thrown by Fan Kang next to him.
The coachman was greedy and got out of the car to pick up the gold coins. As a result, after picking up the gold coins under the car, I found that there were still ones in front of me. Where did the coachman encounter such a windfall? So I carefully stepped forward and picked them up one by one.
He was careful not because he was afraid that someone would calculate him, but because he was worried that someone would find out that he had made an unexpected windfall.
So, this unlucky fellow was killed by Van Conger without suspense, and then naturally took his job as a coachman, and waited intently for the driver of the carriage to come out of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. (To be continued.) )
