Chapter 114 The Surprising Hidden Reques (1/2)
Within the manor, Han Xiao scratched his chin and thought hard in silence.
The mask changed his facial appearance so much so that if one did not approach close to him, it would be impossible for the person to uncover his true identity.
Although he had escaped from Stardragon, the interface did not indicate a decrease in affection for him. Since his relationship with Stardragon was still relatively friendly and both parties were not reduced to enemies, there was chance for him to turn the situation around.
Han Xiao had a deep impression of Di Su Su. Although Di Su Su always teased Li Ya Lin and Li Ya Lin always tried to put her down, Di Su Su still unintentionally nudged closer to Li Ya Lin. Even the clothes she wore resembled those of Li Ya Lin. Han Xiao, who was great and very experienced at observing people, could tell with a single glance that Di Su Su and Li Ya Lin shared a very close friendship.
…
Two days later…
The bullet leapt out of the barrel of the sniper rifle and killed the final enemy sniper who was a few hundred meters away. The burnt smell of the smoky battlefield was very pungent. The enemy forces, which suffered a lot of casualties, retreated like a huge wave. Han Xiao let out a deep breath and leaned against the wall to sit down. He closed his eyes to ease the tension in his heart.
The enemies were getting stronger one wave after another. There were helicopters, armored vehicles, and small tanks; there were also a couple of strong super humans and elite soldiers that appeared on the battlefield, which posed huge threats.
The past two days in the manor had been very hectic and dangerous, as if they were all on a little boat stuck in a massive whirlpool. Han Xiao used all his effort, and together with the cooperation of the mercenary troops, the defense managed to pull through.
——————————————————————
You defeated a wave of attackers. (5/5)
The fourth round completed. You gained 200,000 EXP points.
The hidden request to prevent the appearance of Division 13 has failed.
You activated the additional fifth segment of the mission.
——————————————————————
Han Xiao was completely stunned. He did not expect the hidden request was to prevent the appearance of Division 13. He really had not thought of that possibility. After pondering for a while, he then realized why he missed out the hidden request.
If every one of his battles ended fast and decisively and created less commotion, perhaps Division 13 would not have entered the picture. However, such a request was too difficult. Even if he was able to find out about such a request, it would be very hard to accomplish it. Han Xiao was not particularly upset about such a result. Ultimately, the odds of completing a hidden request were fifty-fifty. There were times of success and times of failure. It was pretty normal for failure to occur after all.
The original mission only had four segments. However, since the hidden request was not completed, the fifth segment has been activated. Is it supposed to be blessing in disguise? What is the fifth segment exactly?
Han Xiao felt curious.
——————————————————————
Change in Quest Requirement
Fifth Round Requirement: Tag along with Wang Yuan and handle the incoming danger.
Failure Condition: Your death.
Reward: 30,000 EXP
Special Reward: 300,000 EXP
——————————————————————
At that moment, Han Xiao was shocked. He felt that the fifth segment of the mission was really confusing and weird.
The normal reward was not compatible with the current stage of the mission. Also, the special reward was ten times larger than the normal reward, which meant that there was a great deal of flexibility in the mission. What exactly was the danger that the mission offered?
The condition to fail the mission was targeted at the fact that some players could revive themselves. Since Wang Yuan was protected by Bennett, it meant that Han Xiao himself would have to deal with a great deal of danger.
It was like the mission was trying to tell Han Xiao, ”Hehehe… this is going to be dangerous.”
…
Two days earlier, in a dim abandoned warehouse, Bai Jin was in his hideout.
There was a bolt of lightning surrounding his arm, and the lightning illuminated his face. There was a sense of eeriness in his eyes.
Bai Jin flipped his palm, and the lightning bolt fused into his skin and vanished.
Ding.
The computer on the table in front of him lit up. He received a confidential e-mail. Bai Jin clicked on the new mail.
”Target for assassination: Wang Yuan
”Assignment Location: East Stardragon, 20km North of Seagull City, River Valley Manor
”Strength of Defense: 214 troops, 14 contract killers, Moonlight (Dark), Hunter (Dark), Volcano (Dark), Golden Fox (Dark), Mr. Black (Scorpion)… There are sufficient defensive structures and firepower.
”Bounty: 2 million”
Bai Jin's eyes dimmed and muttered coldly, ”You really expect me to make a move when the bounty is merely two million? How can you put me on the same level as the other trash assassins in the market?”
He sent a mail back to reject the offer.
A moment later, another e-mail entered the inbox. The bounty had been raised to six million.
