921 The Temptation of the Golden Side Mission (1/2)

After Sheyan had collected three Bloody Invitation Letters, his body glowed blood red. The three Bloody Invitation Letters stacked together neatly in his personal space. The light they emitted became stronger and more mysterious, while a sharp smell of blood permeated through the air. The ordinary receptionist next to Sheyan sneezed and dry-coughed a few times before he hastily excused himself. When he came back, his face was so pale that he looked as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Sheyan received a series of notifications:

[Contestant No. 1018, congratulations on collecting three Bloody Invitation Letters. You can now choose to go to the designated location to return to the realm, or stay to explore the Bloody World and try to get more Bloody Invitation Letters.”]

[Warning: Unknown variables may occur if you obtain more Bloody Invitation Letters.]

[Signal disturbance, signal disturbance....Please wait!]

It was the first time Sheyan encountered this problem. He could only wait patiently. Fortunately, the disturbance did not last long. He soon received further emotionless notifications:

[Contestant No. 1018, the one conversing with you right now is Noah Realm C that you belong to. You can use your nightmare imprint to authenticate my identity. The nightmare imprint of every contestant is split from the soul of the Noah Realm they belong too. The imprint and the realm were originally one, so there is a special bond between them.]

Sheyan immediately did so. He found that his nightmare imprint was pulsating weirdly. More importantly, the power he was conversing with felt very familiar to him. It was the power protecting the alien chamber below the Statue of Liberty when he was having his breakthrough trial, which stopped Hakeem from hurting him.

After Sheyan verified its identity, Noah Realm C issued a notification:

[You and Aziz have achieved an impressive accomplishment in the Bloody World. The two of you have obtained a total of five Bloody Invitation Letters. This is a glorious, unprecedented achievement. Therefore, I broke through the restriction of the rules here with no heed to the energy it cost me to issue a special mission for you two. If you complete the mission, you will receive a generous reward.]

[You will obtain the F-level Golden Side Mission: ”Collect”]

[Mission Description: Every Bloody Invitation Letter is extremely valuable to any Noah Realm. The Noah Realm both of you belong to is currently in urgent need of 7 Bloody Invitation Letters.]

[Mission Objective: Get seven Bloody Invitation Letters for Noah Realm C before this world ends.]

[Mission Time Limit: The same as the time limit for the Bloody World mission.]

[Mission Reward: Guaranteed reward (30 achievement points) + random draws]

[Mission Failure Punishment: You will be deprived of the reward you should receive for this world.]

[Do you want to accept the mission?]

This was the first time Sheyan saw something like this so he sneakily turned his head to observe Aziz. He was sure that Aziz had also received this mission, so he was hoping to get some hints from Aziz's reaction. Unfortunately, Sheyan was left disappointed. All Sheyan saw was Aziz's poker face and his cold eyes as he turned around to look back at Sheyan. It was obvious that Aziz had the same idea.

The two people looked at each other coldly. Obviously, this was a mission that required the both of them to cooperate. If either of them decided not to work together, it would spell disaster! The mission notification was also very sly. It merely asked for seven Bloody Invitation Letters for Noah Realm C.

It meant that the mission would be completed regardless of whether Sheyan brought back 4 while Aziz brought back 3, or Sheyan brought back 6 while Aziz brought back 1. The mission would be completed even if Sheyan alone brought back 7!

Sheyan had completed a Golden Side Mission before; it was even a Golden Side Mission that had a C-difficulty, which was higher than this one. Of course, he completely relied on the Blackthorn to complete that mission, otherwise any legendary beast could have killed him.

Sheyan's strength had improved by leaps and bounds since then. With Aziz's help, it wasn't impossible to complete this F-difficulty Golden Side Mission.

The crucial problem was how to ensure Aziz's cooperation, and make sure that Aziz would not give him a shot from the back at the most critical moment.....

Obviously, Aziz was also considering the same problem. What if Sheyan betrayed him at a critical moment?

Rewards are nice, but staying alive was more important!

Aziz finally could no longer hold himself back. He started to communicate with Sheyan with his hoarse voice through the nightmare imprint:
