Chapter 202 Alumera 1 (1/2)
Including Hao Tian, Han Xiao had already come in contact with many pro players and given them the missions.
The way to complete the mission was through a communication device. He gave the pro players his number and email, and the mission would only be completed once they sent over the details so that he could complete his own mission. If there were any mission items that needed to be handed to Hannes, he would have to take the plane and retrieve it himself.
As compared to doing them himself, ordering highly skilled players to help him complete these missions would save him a lot of time, and he could just sit back and enjoy the profit.
Among the pro players that came to accept the missions, many had been very strong players in his previous life, and Han Tian was at the top of that list. Han Xiao was rather interested in Hao Tian, but since he had said that he would only be amazed when the mission was completed, he was patient.
Han Xiao spent most of his time on the road as he was rushing between the novice villages in the Northern Continent. During this time, he used the max level [Medium Enhancement] and upgraded his gear and improved their attributes. He also tried to build the three pieces of equipment that he had chosen, and he was rather satisfied with the results.
He was able to achieve blue quality on the first try, which meant there was a chance to reach purple quality after some practice and familiarization.
There were already players that had reached LV 19 on the level leaderboards. With Han Xiao's pace right now, he would be able to finish all the novice villages in the Northern Continent before the first player reached LV 20.
As for Andrea, Han Xiao did not think that he would be able to make it, but he did not want to go to Andrea anyway as it was the headquarters of the Germinal Organization, which meant it was very dangerous for him. Also, the players had all been forced to leave the novice villages and were scattered around everywhere. All in all, the risk far outweighed the profit for Han Xiao.
In the Planet Aquamarine panel on the forum, players in the Northern Continent were the happiest. The second most excited were the players from Andrea—in their minds, after Black Phantom finished running through the novice villages in the Northern Continent, he would go to Andrea next.
Well, that is awkward. Han Xiao sighed.
…
The weather in the Northern Continent was cold. Its terrain mainly consisted of snowy fields and icebergs. Thin snow danced in the air, fog surrounded the mountain top, and a clear line separated the black green mountain body and the snow-covered white peak.
The third novice village was called Frost Pine Village. It was in an ice-sealed forest valley, where fierce beasts roamed.
The plane landed outside the forest, and Han Xiao crossed the forest with his Electromagnetic Hover-boots, following the radar. The beast roars from afar reminded Han Xiao that the Northern Continent was filled with beasts, and many of them were of a rather high level.
As I remembered, the Sharp Claw Ice Bears on one ice field are all high leveled, between LV 53 to 56, not including the elites or BOSS. I can meet the requirements to unlock [Lethal Shot] talent there, Han Xiao thought.
That ice field was quite far, so Han Xiao decided to head there after he finished with the novice village.
He noticed another thing as he looked at the map—the Alumera family's territory was not far from Frost Pine Village.
Not long after, Frost Pine Village appeared in his sights. He calmed his mind, slowed down, and walked over.
…
In the woods one hundred meters away from the Frost Pine Village, a dozen or so people who were all wearing combat suit, firearms, and daggers sat in a circle arranging their equipment.
They were a combat team from Alumera, following their order to capture some Inhumans in the Frost Pine Village and bring them back for research.
The captain, Keaton, was smoking a hand-rolled cigar with a vicious face. He pulled out a blaster and said, ”Everyone knows the combat plan. Don't mess up!”
”Relax, it's just a bunch of Inhumans, piece of cake.”
”If they dare to resist…” Keaton patted the grenade on his waist. ”You don't have to be stingy with these little toys—blow them to smithereens.”
The team started laughing.
”Also, these Inhumans look the same as normal people from the outside, so don't capture the wrong ones.” Keaton looked at his watch and commanded the rest to stand up. ”Arrange your gear. We move on my signal.”
At this time, a human-shaped shadow passed the alley outside the woods. A member pointed over and said, ”Captain, there's a passer-by over there. Is it an Inhuman?”
”Probably, there are many beasts in this forest—only Inhumans would be alone.”
”Capture this one, and we will complete the mission.”
They were eager to do it.
However, they waited for a few seconds then realized that the captain was not giving any response. They looked back and were hit with a shock.
