Chapter 479 - The paper crane appears again (1/2)
In a certain house, someone curiously muttered, “There seems to be a problem with the D-rank mission near Stronghold 61.”
“What’s the problem?” a shrill voice asked from close by. “What problems can there be for a D-rank mission?”
“In the past, these D-rank missions would be completed not long after they got assigned. Look, the average completion time is four hours, but the last two missions were only completed after a day.”
“Eh? Is that true?” The other person went over. “Oh, it’s really true. One took 21 hours, the other one took 23 hours. What’s going on here? Are there no qualified account holders around Stronghold 61?”
“That can’t be. There were a total of 11 qualified account holders who accepted both missions.”
This meant 11 hitmen must have accepted the missions. But even with so many hitmen taking on the jobs, problems were still encountered.
“Could it be that these two missions’ targets were harder to kill? Which missions did you assign?”
“They were both very simple D-rank missions. The goal was to clean up some of the more corrupt Zong Consortium officials. What’s more, they aren’t protected by any bodyguards.” The person who started this discussion asked doubtfully, “Could something have happened?”
“Then who completed those two missions?”
“It’s that dumbass who sent us pictures of lamb stew.”
“Pfft.” The person next to him burst into laughter. “It must be a newly qualified account holder, and he actually managed to complete the missions smoothly too?”
“That’s not the case either. He did take a few missions before. But perhaps because he was too far away from them, he did not manage to complete those missions. I think this qualified account holder should be in the town of Stronghold 61.”
“Report this to the boss.” The person next to him said as he chewed on a cracker, “Put this information into the latest mission summary report. Although D-rank qualified account holders are not that big a deal, we should still let the boss know.”
“Sure.”
The person beside him suddenly thought of something. “By the way, did those people who accepted the missions at Stronghold 61 take on any other missions after that?”
“Let me see.” The first person who spoke was surprised to find that all the qualified account holders that had gone to Stronghold 61 to carry out the missions had disappeared without sending another text.
He was puzzled. Could they have taken a break? So they did not take any further missions for the time being?
However, among the 11 people, there was someone who was still taking missions without fail. Even if the targets were far away, he would still attempt it.
“This won’t do. We have to inform the boss as soon as possible.”
…
During this period, Ren Xiaosu did not do anything else. He just peacefully remained at the small tavern and waited for new missions to be assigned before going “fishing.”
The thought of going to the other strongholds to complete missions had also crossed his mind, but they were way too far away and he was not at all familiar with the places. He might as well stay here for now and familiarize himself with the organization behind the cell phones.
In just half a month, he had already collected more than ten cell phones in his storage space. But to his disappointment, in this same time frame, the other party had only issued two missions related to Stronghold 61.
In this duration, more than a dozen missions related to the other strongholds were issued. But due to the distance and his unfamiliarity, Ren Xiaosu did not venture there.
