This game is so weird!

"What! There aren't any rare quests anymore?"

Er Miao stood in front of the quest posting table in the Exploration Guild Hall, her hands on the table, leaning forward as she tried to get closer to the receptionist inside.

His tone was unfriendly, but it also revealed a hint of grievance.

I got up so early and was the first one to line up at the guild entrance just to get a rare quest, and you're telling me it's gone?

The chairs you're sitting on were all painstakingly built by me yesterday!

Seeing that a dispute had broken out, Manager Xiaomeng, who was patrolling the lobby, quickly stepped over and asked softly:

"What's wrong, Er Miao?"

"Did our guild do something wrong?"

When Er Miao saw an acquaintance approaching, she stopped being angry and pouted, looking aggrieved.

"Little Meng~ We came so early, but we didn't even manage to get a rare mission!"

She wanted to feign distress to gain the NPCs' sympathy, but the more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and in the end, she almost cried.

Night Rain and Wooden Fish watched Er Miao's performance with unfazed interest, standing aside and listening attentively to other players' evaluations of the guild, their smiles gradually widening.

I'm so awesome!

We three are really amazing!

"Oh, I see. Then Er Miao, you don't need to be sad."

Xiao Meng reached out and patted Er Miao's head, gently comforting her while introducing the new rules for issuing tasks.

"You might have been in a rush to accept missions and overlooked the notice boards on both sides of the hall. Since the guild has officially joined the Empire's guild network, the guild's mission rules have now been standardized and adjusted according to the requirements of the Imperial Exploration Association, and we will also be accepting mission orders from all over the universe."

"All pioneers on Scar Planet can now post missions through the guild."

Hmm? An empire?

Seeing the slight confusion in Er Miao's eyes, Manager Xiao Meng changed to a way that players preferred, while simultaneously projecting a light screen to display the information between Er Miao and the others.

"Simply put, the mission mechanism has been upgraded. In the future, there will no longer be a subjective distinction between rare and ordinary missions; there will be a more detailed classification."

"The relevant details have been posted on the notice boards on both sides. In general, the subsequent tasks will be subdivided according to different dimensions—"

[Mission Nature]: Routine mission, important mission, urgent mission.

[Time Dimension]: Temporary tasks (triggered immediately and need to be completed quickly), short-term tasks (with a clear deadline and a short cycle), and long-term tasks (continuous or with a long target cycle, possibly several months or to complete a specific goal, etc.).

[Task Types]: Exploration and discovery, resource acquisition, construction and maintenance, security and protection, intelligence investigation, etc.

[Difficulty Rating]: The rating ranges from 1 to 5 stars, from easy to difficult. The rating will be determined by the base's AI in conjunction with the Imperial Guild's knowledge base, taking into account factors such as required combat power, skills, knowledge, and risks.

【Mission Scope】: Local system missions, inter-stellar missions, missions in unknown territories, etc.

After seeing that several people had finished reading the materials, Manager Xiaomeng approached the counter and gestured for the new receptionist to open the task list. She then used the tasks on the list as examples to further explain:

"For example, the two new missions added today, the [Warship Landing Platform Construction Mission] and the [Expansion Division Clubhouse Construction Mission], are short-term missions among the emergency missions. They have a deadline of 15 days and are both resource construction missions. Their difficulty levels are 2 stars and 3 stars respectively. Therefore, we recommend that experienced exploration teams take them."

"The 【Construction Task of the Tree Fruit Plantation in the Expansion Base】 is a long-term task among the regular tasks, with a difficulty of only 1 star, which is more suitable for newcomers or experienced exploration teams that want to take a break."

"Some missions even have customized requirements, such as exploration team level restrictions, and you may even need to go up to the second floor to meet with the person who issued the mission. Basically, the tighter the time, the greater the difficulty, and the more restrictions there are, the greater the mission reward will be."

Looking at the tasks on the screen, Er Miao stroked his chin.

"Understood! Urgent > Important > Routine, the shorter the time, the better, the higher the star rating, the better."

Manager Xiaomeng was a little amused and exasperated. "So many standard categories of content, and you only focus on these few?"

"Thank you, Sister Meng. Let's accept the two missions: [Battleship Landing Platform Construction Mission] and [Pioneering Division Clubhouse Construction Mission]!"

After thanking Xiaomeng, Ermiao excitedly spoke to the staff at the press conference table.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"As per guild requirements, each exploration team can only accept one mission at a time, and only after completing it can they..."

The new receptionist said timidly, feeling a little scared of Er Miao after being yelled at earlier, fearing she might be yelled at again.

You have to understand, this batch of bio-engineered employees are all less than 3 days old, like blank sheets of paper, adorable newbies. It's already quite an achievement for them to become familiar with the guild system and start working.

But this is the current state of the empire: mass-producing bio-computing cyborgs and machine-computing robots, relying on quantity and supervised algorithms to improve quality.

It truly stands out from the crowd in the massive, miraculous route.

"Let's accept the [Development Division Clubhouse Construction Mission]!"

Seeing that other players were already inquiring about the details of the mission on the adjacent information desk, Er Miao immediately connected to the mission terminal and selected the highest-level mission.

"Er Miao and her friends team, this is your first time connecting to the guild network. Team registration has been completed automatically. Team leader: Er Miao. Team members: Ye Yu Ji Bei, and 'Knock on my wooden fish,' right?"

"And some people don't eat pineapple buns!"

Er Miao casually added her girlfriends who were in class to the group as well.

"Alright, team members Night Rain, a few cups, knock on my wooden fish, and don't eat pineapple buns. Based on historical missions, the team is automatically rated as a Silver-level exploration team."

"silver?"

"Yes, the Imperial Exploration Association classifies exploration teams into five general levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond, corresponding to mission difficulties of 1-5 stars respectively. The levels are updated in real time based on the team's cumulative mission completion status."

"Above these are the Star Glory and Master levels, both of which are extremely rare in the universe and can only be selected through nomination by the Association."

"I heard that the most famous 'Golden Hand,' Arthur Cross, crashed during a space mission, but then found lost Forerunner technology and a large amount of gold, instantly rising from a low-level explorer to a Star Explorer. That's amazing!"

As they talked, the new receptionist, who had been a little scared, suddenly became excited, hugging the guild's tablet to her chest with a look of anticipation.

"Cough cough."

"Oh! Sorry, Er Miao and her friends have extensive experience in team building and perfectly meet the requirements of this task. The task has been completed and completed for everyone!"

"Mmm, thank you!"

As Er Miao looked at the exploration team information on the panel, a burning light flashed in his eyes.

【Er Miao and Her Friends Team】

[Rank: Silver (13/1000)]

[Members: Er Miao (Silver), Ye Yu Ji Bei (Silver), Qiao Wo Shi Mu Yu (Silver), Bu Chi Luo Bo Bao (Gold)]

The highest grade is actually the pineapple bun?

The next goal is Gold level!

"What! We're only Bronze level???"

"How could I, a esteemed King of Glory, be a Bronze player?!"

A gasp came from the bar next door, instantly attracting the attention of the players in the lobby.

Before long, enthusiastic players surrounded the quest station, eagerly awaiting the update of their exploration team/explorer rating.

Several alien exploration teams nearby couldn't squeeze in, making Pudding stomp her feet and curse in frustration:

"Is it really necessary?! We're all exploration teams, why are you all rolling around like that?!"

—Another day without missions for the aliens.
