Chapter 145 A-level Joint Mission: Strengthening the Hand of Annihilation!

Nangong Ling also spoke up: "Our Shenxiao team, responsible for recovering and transplanting these kinds of Jiangyuan dungeons, is the most professional in the world."

"And this time, there were also elite special agents from the corpse collection team assisting and protecting them."

"In the end, they still lost contact."

"This is definitely not something that can be explained by a normal eruption of abyssal energy."

"There must be some hidden forces that we don't know about influencing all of this."

The environment along the border is complex.

Foreign forces.

The energy of the abyss has leaked.

And the third hand that has yet to surface...

Lin Yiguang had listened to Luo Xiao's account so far.

Everyone felt that the factors causing unease had piled up to the brim.

"We are currently facing a severe shortage of manpower."

"But the experts we sent out are an invaluable asset to Shenxiao, and we must do everything we can to save them."

"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."

"So about five days ago, I issued a B-level mission in the mission center. The mission objective is to investigate this incident and rescue the missing persons. If the missing persons are all dead, then we also need to collect their bodies."

"The situation of this mission is too complicated. Most people who accepted the mission chose to refuse after understanding the details."

"This morning, we raised the difficulty of this task to level A, and changed the task type from an exclusive task to a joint task. At the same time, we also increased the task rewards significantly."

As Luo Xiao spoke, he took out a rusty silver disc from his pocket.

This is exactly the sunset gnomon that Lin Yi needed for his fourth transformation.

"Lin Yi, is this the only material you're missing for your fourth job advancement quest?"

"If this is the only material you're missing, I can give you an advance on the reward after you accept the task. After all, your ability to complete the fourth job advancement will greatly help you finish this task."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head: "No, I still need to clear the fifth level of the Abyss dungeon once more to complete the fourth job advancement, so there's no need to claim the rewards in advance."

"Captain Luo, I accept your A-level mission!"

A hint of joy appeared in Luo Xiao's eyes: "With you joining us, I feel relieved."

Nangong Ling added, "After this mission was converted into a joint mission, the mission centers of the top five professional academies in our Great Xia simultaneously released this mission."

"So far, almost no one from Shenxiao has chosen to take on this mission, but quite a few people from other schools have already accepted it."

"But Captain Luo has always been a little worried about the people from other schools. Fortunately, you confirmed your acceptance of the mission before the deadline."

Lin Yi's heart stirred.

Joint mission?

Ok……

Each university has a mission center, and these missions are essentially for the students of each university to grow and gain experience.

After all, without the baptism of real combat, they are ultimately just flowers in a greenhouse.

Nangong Ling led Lin Yi to the front desk of the mission center to complete the necessary procedures for accepting the mission.

"Junior Brother Lin Yi, once a mission of A rank or above is accepted, it is not allowed to be abandoned before it is completed."

"The procedures and processes for determining a task failure are also very strict. Only if it is proven that you really cannot complete the task will it be canceled, and even if it is canceled for this reason, there will be relevant penalties."

"Because most tasks of difficulty level A or above are urgent and time-sensitive, missing the deadline and taking up resources that others can use to take on the task will definitely come at a price."

Lin Yi nodded.

He understands this principle.

However, right after Lin Yi accepted the task, he discovered that Nangong Ling, who was standing next to him, also took out her student ID and, after a series of actions, accepted the task as well.

Nangong Ling crossed her arms, striking a confident pose: "Our dean wasn't comfortable with you carrying out such a dangerous mission alone, so he sent your senior, me, to accompany you and protect you!" Luo Xiao chuckled lightly, a rare occurrence for him: "Really?"

It's clear that he and Nangong Ling knew each other before, and they seemed to have a good relationship.

Nangong Ling rolled her eyes at Luo Xiao.

Then, seeing Lin Yi's questioning expression, she helplessly stuck out her tongue: "Alright, alright!"

"It's because the classes at Shenxiao Academy have been too boring lately, and I didn't want to stay in the academy any longer, so I asked Dean Ruoxi to let me accompany you on this mission. I wanted to go out for a walk, okay?"

“Junior Brother Lin Yi, as an elite student sent by Shenxiao, you are naturally the captain of the mission team for this joint mission. In name, I am just your team member.”

"However, I also promised Dean Ruoxi that I will not intervene unless absolutely necessary!"

"Just think of me as your paddling teammate, your leg hair accessory, haha!"

Seeing that the two of them had accepted the mission, Luo Xiao said, "Alright, with the two of you, the team is now complete."

"Your team for this mission consists of 10 people. We have already arranged to meet at Tianhe City in Southern Xinjiang Province at 8 a.m. tomorrow."

"The rest of the team members set off earlier today."

"Our Shenxiao ships are currently flying southwest. They should reach the sky above the Milky Way by tomorrow morning. At that time, you can land directly."

"I wish you all the best in advance on your mission and a triumphant return!"

After Luo Xiao finished speaking, he nodded to Lin Yi and Nangong Ling, and then left the mission hall.

Nangong Ling also said to Lin Yi, "Junior, this is your first mission, and such a dangerous A-level mission at that. I hope you will not underestimate the enemy."

"What's more terrifying than the monsters in the dungeon is the human heart."

See you at the school gate at 6 a.m. tomorrow!

Lin Yi nodded.

After saying goodbye to Nangong Ling, Lin Yi pondered for a moment.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Sun Dachuan in his contacts.

"Senior Sun, are you free?"

After the precedent of Heart of the Swarm almost losing in the battle against Ix,

Lin Yi agreed with Nangong Ling's point of view.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also tries his best.

He planned to take advantage of the remaining time to further strengthen his fighting force!

First, let's talk about enhancing the Gauntlet of Annihilation!

Once upgraded to +10, an additional energy socket will be unlocked, which will provide the greatest boost to him at the moment.

"What's up, bro?"

Soon, Sun Dachuan sent a voice message.

"It's nothing, I just got a piece of equipment and I'd like to ask you to help me enhance it. How much are the materials needed and how much will it cost for your help?"

"We're like brothers! Haha, just come over here, bro."

"I'm at XX in the East District of Chiyou Academy..."

Sun Dachuan had told Lin Yi before that he was illiterate.

Naturally, he wouldn't be able to type either.

So sending location information is out of the question.

He spoke a long string of addresses in a voice message.

Given his accent, it took Lin Yi quite a while to find the location Sun Dachuan had mentioned on the map.
