Quadruple split.

Chapter 2677 Truth and Justice

"Well, with my current skill level, even if the Seventh Outer Mountain provides me with unlimited logistical resources, it would probably take about three years to repair all the damaged areas."

Ji Xiaoge shook her wings and said very seriously, "If we take into account that I should also improve during this period, and my skill proficiency and professional level will rise accordingly, it should take at least two years."

A row of questions immediately appeared on Cordoba's monitor. He counted on his fingers for a long time, then said in bewilderment, "So, although you have 100 days to complete this task, no matter how hard you work, it will still take more than 700 days to recover?"

"Ah."

Ji Xiaoge nodded and added, "The fastest would be a little over 700 days. Under normal circumstances, I think around 1,000 days is more realistic."

Córdoba: "6".

So~ I~ say~

Because she was easygoing, she maintained a relaxed smile and stood next to Mo Tan with her arms crossed. The beautiful Onmyoji asked cheerfully, "Little Pigeon, you must have discovered something else again, right? After all, no matter how bizarre the game's design is, it wouldn't release tasks that are impossible to complete."

Cordova chuckled dryly: "Heh, that's because you didn't jump straight into battle royale right after creating your characters, and ended up dying miserably while playing hide-and-seek with some kind of super monster."

"normal."

Wang Badan yawned and said lazily, "After all, you're the unlucky one."

Córdoba roared, "I'm not unlucky!!"

"Alright, alright, you guys can discuss this topic about bad luck yourselves when you have time."

As the highest authority in [Ascension Fortress Valhalla] at this moment, Ji Xiaoge first brushed off the topic under Cordova's resentful expression [QAQ], and then continued: "Anyway, just like Sister Xiaole said, after I checked the damage log in the terminal and found that I definitely couldn't complete the mission on my own, I immediately received a new mission."

Although he wasn't very clear about the player's mission mechanics at first, Jadka, who was quite familiar with the otherworldly system now because he often chatted with Deer-chan while recuperating, stroked his beard and asked curiously, "So what exactly is the mission?"

"Anyway, it's a mission that has nothing to do with me."

Although she doesn't particularly enjoy complaining, Mo Tan, who has been constantly criticized for being a "troublemaker," casually added a comment that made Ji Xiaoge laugh so hard she bent over.

"Cough, okay, okay, stop teasing me."

Ji Xiaoge tiptoed and poked Mo Tan's cheek, then her smile faded. She took a deep breath and verbally recounted her two newly unlocked tasks to everyone present.

"あらあら~"

Gu Xiaole casually opened his bat-shaped fan, covered his mouth and laughed, "I feel like there's a lot of information in these two missions."

Cordoba's monitor turned to [0.0] and he said in a muffled voice, "Get me a translator."

Tooth, standing nearby, wagged its tail and nodded in agreement, "Woof, translator!"

"As a local, I'll just offer my humble opinion as a starting point."

To verify his understanding of the knowledge of the otherworldly beings, Jadka coughed lightly and took the lead in analyzing: "Judging from what Little Pigeon just said, it seems that she wants to organize an engineering society headed by her, somewhat like the Craftsmen's Town, but with a more rigorous nature, right?"

Ji Xiaoge nodded vigorously and encouraged, "No problem, Lao Jia is absolutely right."

"Alright, alright, besides that, there's another condition that's worth noting: it seems that all members of this Engineering Society must be otherworldly beings like you, and specifically, otherworldly engineers who meet the criteria."

Jadka chuckled, stroking his beard as he continued, "If I understand correctly, those who meet the criteria will immediately learn about this through a 'mission,' then they'll need to find the little pigeon, gain your approval, and then they'll be allowed to join this association, work with you to repair this fortress, and receive various rewards, right?"

Ji Xiaoge continued nodding: "Yes, yes!"

"It's worth mentioning that it seems that female players are required to be the ones who can find the pigeon to receive the challenge."

Gu Xiaole blinked, then turned to look at Mo Tan and asked cheerfully, "Are you happy?"

"Uh……"

Mo Tan was about to give a casual, perfunctory reply when he suddenly remembered his worthless "Chivalry - Honesty," so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "A little."

Ji Xiaoge: (//////)
"Speaking of this—"

Cordova, who had begun to think actively, tapped the monitor and hesitated, "I think I just heard my own name. What do 'Trial [Two]' and 'Trial [Three]' mean?"

"I don't know that either."

Ji Xiaoge, her face still flushed, shook her head and said, "But I guess it means I should choose two people from you, my mentor, and Fimi to help me test eligible players?" Cordova thought for a moment, the image on the monitor changing to a question mark, and asked curiously, "How do we cooperate? What kind of test?"

"How would I know? It's not written here."

Ji Xiaoge flapped her wings and asked, "How about I designate you as the tester right now? Let's try it out in practice?"

"Oh?"

A lightbulb immediately lit up on Cordoba's screen, and he asked, "Right now?"

“Sure, I have the necessary permissions. I can just click to see the control panel.”

Ji Xiaoge grinned and reminded her, "But this requires the other party's consent. Also, this is an irreversible operation, so you'd better think it through before accepting."

Cordova let out a burst of electronic-sounding laughter and said cheerfully, "We're all on the same side, why would I hesitate to help you? Come on, point me out, let's see what this thing is all about."

"okay."

Ji Xiaoge was a straightforward person. Seeing how easily Cordoba agreed, he immediately opened the task panel and sent a designated request to the latter. Cordoba, of course, accepted the request without hesitation after hearing the system prompt.

Then--

"Oh, it's updated! The quests section has been updated."

Ji Xiaoge let out a soft exclamation, and then shared her new discovery with her friends—

……

Truth and Justice

Omission
Test [Two]: After accepting the mission, you can actively obtain the approximate location of player [Cordoba] once every 240 hours. After finding player [Cordoba], you can apply to complete the test. The test is to withstand an attack from player [Cordoba] with no less than 50% of his strength without dying.

Test [Two] Requirements: Possess at least one high-level combat class and be at least level 50.

Trial [Two] Completion Reward: Obtain a full set of equipment, including a weapon, suitable for the strongest combat class currently available. The equipment quality ranges from [Excellent] to [Epic], with the specific quality determined by the attack strength launched by player [Cordova]. Also obtain the epic quest [Enheria - Activate!].

Test [Two] Failure Penalty: None

[Note: The glory of Valhalla lives on!]

……

"Um……"

Wang Badan clicked his tongue and sighed, "The punishment for failure should indeed be [nothing]. After all, the person has already been beaten to death. To punish them further would be like desecrating a corpse."

Mo Tan chuckled dryly and stated bluntly, "This test is very difficult."

Even if it's true that "fortune favors the bold"...

Jadka chuckled, turned to look at the monitor around Cordova's neck that still displayed the emoticon "0.0", and said with a smile, "For you otherworldly beings, it's really too dangerous to let little brother Cordova take on an attack with at least 50% of his strength."

Tooth twitched its ears, then suddenly hopped over to Cordoba, put its right hand behind its back, and beckoned to the other with its left hand, shouting, "Woof, come here!"

"Stop messing around, Ya Ya."

Mo Tan immediately pulled Ya Ya back, saying with a wry smile, "You don't know engineering, and you're not one of us players, so there's no need for you to challenge Cordoba."

"Ugh."

Ya Ya pouted and muttered, "But Woof also wants to be a Woof family with us Woofs!"

"I want it even more than you do."

Ji Xiaoge rubbed Ya Ya's head, her eyes full of pity, and said something. Then, before the dog-girl in front of her could start digging deeper, she changed the subject and turned to Cordoba, asking, "By the way, Xiao Yu, after the quest is activated, your location might be found by many qualified players. Is that alright?"

"That's all right."

Cordoba spread his hands, looking completely nonchalant (probably with an expression like "=.="), and said, "Putting aside the fact that they can only search once every ten days, even if they could find my location, who would bother to bother me for no reason?"

Ji Xiaoge still asked with some unease, "What if?"

"Then beat them to death."

Cordova crossed his arms, his expression on the monitor fixed at 【(⊙ω⊙)】, and said calmly, “Anyway, the characters in the ‘Innocent Realm’ only have one life. If someone is not afraid of death, I don’t mind sending them on their way.”

Mo Tan chuckled and said to Ji Xiaoge, who was afraid of causing his friend too much trouble, "You don't need to worry too much. First of all, even if something really happens to Cordoba, he can basically upload his consciousness back to the Tianzhu Mountain server. Secondly, I think the only players who can really threaten him are large-scale, well-organized professional organizations, while those clubs and studios..."

"We're really good friends now!"

Cordova patted his chest with a proud expression and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for that old geezer Ruvi delaying getting me properly treated, I would have gone to that limited-time dungeon to help the [Zhi An Lian] fight and earn extra money long ago. Kang... uh, Zhou Lan said that everyone is eager to curry favor with me, the second best in the world, so no one would have any ulterior motives."

Ji Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Then I'm relieved."

"Speaking of this..."

Mo Tan frowned and asked, "Not only can you be found by people who meet the requirements to accept the mission, just like Cordova, but there's also no cooldown period. Even if all the qualified players are female, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't have bad intentions."

Ji Xiaoge smiled and said happily, "Don't worry, I'm not like Cordoba. I can modify my general scope to a very macro level at any time. For example, the current default setting is at the continental level."

"Ok?"

Mo Tan reacted quickly and immediately asked, "So, if someone were to search for you now, the result they would see would be... the Northwest Continent?"

"Yes."

Ji Xiaoge nodded vigorously and said very seriously, "To be honest, this mission is really amazing. I now have very high permissions for both [Ascension Fortress Valhalla] and the missions [Valhalla] and [Truth and Justice]. I feel like an administrator."

"really."

Gu Xiaole echoed with deep feeling, sighing, "Little Pigeon has probably already been chosen as the heir to this fortress. To be honest, if this thing called Pan [Ascension Fortress Valhalla] is really repaired in the future, she might directly have her own 'City of Miracles'."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"And it's the engineer version of the Miracle City, it looks pretty cool!"

"Is...is that so?"
