Chapter 31 -31: Probably Really Dead._1
“I will notify them, but I can’t guarantee I’ll bring everyone, sometimes people refuse the company’s invitation, preferring to die rather than accept.”
You guys never explain things clearly, so it’s normal for them not to accept…
Colin looked through the list of over a hundred names again, and selected five alternative plans.
“Alright, the details of the next event will be conveyed to you in the form of a task.”
Lady Bunny said, “Additionally, as the executor of the mission for ‘World Code 13’, I will grant you office privileges. By Sunday, you can make first contact with them through the office, and the specific usage details will be provided to you upon activation.”
There are perks like that? Colin was startled for a moment, then nodded to show he understood.
“Alright, one last thing…”
Lady Bunny said without blinking an eye, “Today, the company was invaded by The Descender, and some countermeasures will be issued, probably in the form of tasks. Don’t worry about these tasks too much, they’re not something you can complete.
“Secondly, the company isn’t sure what will happen next internally, so you might need to be more alert, reduce your use of the ‘Interaction Hall’, you can read messages, but don’t send more than thirty a day.”
The company was invaded? Colin didn’t understand why he needed to limit sending messages, but still nodded to show he understood.
After a brief exchange, he returned to reality.
In the blink of an eye, he was back in his familiar little room.
He glanced at the wall clock.
April 1st, Wednesday, three o’clock in the afternoon.
“Ah, I forgot to ask Lady Bunny about the time issue. Why does it feel like the timing isn’t quite right, this time it was obviously longer than last time, why does it feel like it’s always the same duration, always three hours?”
But according to the current guess, every Monday from twelve noon to three o’clock, then without mishaps, it should be equivalent to one day of activity in the Other World.
It probably wouldn’t be more than that.
“It’s quite relaxing, working four days a month, earning over a million. But speaking of which, it seems I forgot to ask Lady Bunny about the authority level.”
Colin muttered to himself, suspecting that she might be one of those elusive C level or above employees spoken of in legends within the ‘Interaction Hall’.
He didn’t pay too much attention to these minor details, though.
Picking up the parchment from the nightstand next to his bed.
The summary of his mission had already appeared on it.
[“The ‘Call from Afar’ event has been completed.”]
[“In this event, your rating was: B+.”]
[“Below is the settlement for this event’s tasks—’Bonfire Points*1000′, ‘Bonfire Points*1600’, ‘Silver Clearance Certificate*1’.”]
[“All items have been transferred to the ‘Storage Room’, please collect them.”]
…
“Not as many rewards this time, but the points are quite a lot. Is this thousand the additional minimum points reward Miss Bunny mentioned?”
Colin was somewhat surprised, having thought that the guaranteed minimum would only start from next week, but it was counted now.
Read 𝓁atest chapters at fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm Only.
Including the fifteen points he had left previously, he now had a total of 2623 points.
As for the rating, he felt it was already quite high.
After all, even if he came up with more reasons to defend himself, two people had died this time, and six were half-dead, not yet out of danger.
Taking a deep breath, Colin didn’t rush to buy equipment, but instead got out of bed, sat in his wheelchair, and let the sunlight from the window shine on his skin. He closed his eyes, intending to do a simple recap.
To review the flaws and omissions in this action.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, Colin’s expression became increasingly pale, his throat churned, and nausea surged in his stomach.
The blood-red menus from the kitchen flashed through his mind, and Colin’s face turned ugly, eventually unable to help but retch a few times.
“Aside from some things about the ‘Book of Fate’, there wasn’t much worth reviewing.”
Colin placed a hand on his stomach and rubbed it, repeatedly swallowing saliva.
During Beast Transformation Syndrome, he had no reaction to the scenes in the kitchen, even thought of taking a taste, but now, back in human form, all he felt was nausea and the urge to vomit.
He could handle death, but that scene was a bit too much for the normal him.
After taking several deep breaths, Colin took out the parchment and looked at his colleagues’ ridiculous messages, only to notice they were discussing some mission.
“Unyielding Guardians,” the blood-red font was unsettling to look at.
“Ss, a million points, super rare item, a straight pass to B level… big spender.”
Colin couldn’t help but be tempted himself.
Unfortunately, Lady Bunny had informed him in advance that the task was a no-go, and he didn’t even know who “The Descender” was; otherwise, even just providing a little clue would have guaranteed him an entry of ten thousand points, which would have been simply delightful.
Shaking his head and sighing, he started looking for equipment worth buying.
Now that he had money in his hands, his inflated desire to spend was almost uncontrollable.
But, after not looking for long, he unexpectedly found a post related to himself—
The Ephemeral “Golden Legend”.
“Lifecoach Kawaii-many”: Brother Shunzi has been silent for three days, has anyone seen his messages?
“East Wind in the small building last night”: He’s probably dead.
“Sea God007”: It’s a pity that a golden artifact had just appeared and then disappeared. Let’s mourn the vanished golden legend, wishing that in its next life, it will have a more sedate master, like me for example.
“Fish Pond Master”: He hasn’t shown up for so long, my golden legend! Just like that, gone! I can’t accept it!
“Two-Faced”: Fake, all fake. There was never any golden equipment; it’s all you guys conspiring to lie to me, right?!
“Arsonist Tao Tie”: It doesn’t matter if he’s dead, but what about the hundred points he owes me! It upsets me, feel like I’ve been freeloaded…
…
You guys really don’t wish me any good at all.
He had been busy with preparations for his missions in the past few days, so he hadn’t interacted much. To his surprise, they were all holding funerals for him, no, for his equipment.
His gaze lingered on the ID of “Arsonist Tao Tie”.
“The rest of you forget it, what fuss are you joining, you’re afraid I won’t go online, right?”
Colin muttered to himself; he had been interacting privately with this Jailbreak Series brother these past few days, who knew whether he was dead or alive better than anyone else.
However, he hadn’t seen this guy around and nearly forgot about the hundred points he owed.
He didn’t intend to renege on the debt; Colin directly interacted with him through private chat.
“You finished the task and returned so quickly?” The Jailbreak Series brother expressed surprise, but not too much surprise, mainly because he knew Colin had a lot of equipment.
Just after joining, he had as much equipment as those who had been fishing around for a year.
The quality was completely overwhelming.
A single Golden Legend would allow him to strut through the regular F Level tasks; he was almost guaranteed to be safe.
What a pity, the other party had taken up a “Descender project”.
The more money, the quicker the death.
“How should I pay you the hundred points?” Colin went straight to the point.
“Wait a sec, I’ll probably just list some unremarkable special material for you to buy, that’s all.”
“Don’t use ordinary items?”
“Nope, ordinary items can’t pass the review to be listed in the auction house. Only special materials obtained from task events work, otherwise what you’d see most in the auction house would be weapons, not those junk items. Oh right, make sure you confirm the name when you make the purchase.”
“Got it.”
It wasn’t long before he received the name from the Jailbreak Series brother; Colin searched for it in the auction house.
[“A Slightly Hard Stone”, price: 100 points.]
[Quantity: 1.]
[Note: The item cannot be taken out in the real environment without application.]
[Description: A stone picked up during a museum event, the core component of a figurine. Seemed useful at the time, so I grabbed it, but later on, it seemed to have no use.]
[Seller: “Arsonist Tao Tie”.]
…
Colin quickly confirmed the name and directly made the purchase, with the item going straight into his storage bag. He planned to casually use it as a hidden weapon to throw at someone next time he entered a “dungeon”.
It was worth a hundred points after all.
After that, Colin took another look at the threads posted by those people, adhering to the joy of sharing good things with others.
He casually edited a title—
[What? How did you guys know I got another orange-colored equipment? Just got the “Revolver Contrarian”, seems alright.]
As soon as the post was made, many online colleagues came sniffing around, attracted by the scent.
