Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

——(It’s unbelievable that the “Silver Queen Bee” has friends…)

Looking into Oleg's heart, Jiang Ran unexpectedly gained the title of Viviana.

(I didn't expect she was already so famous.)

(But then again, Viviana is only 16 and already a level 52 magic swordsman. It would be strange if such a genius wasn't famous.)

"So you are the friend of the eldest daughter of the Feiqi family. Your arrival really makes our little place shine..." Branch Chief Oleg stopped speaking halfway. He sat upright and then bowed his head slightly to apologize to Jiang Ran.

"I'm really sorry, the girl at the front desk was a bit stiff just now, please don't be offended."

Oleg's apology was appropriate and natural, and he had no bad intentions in mind. Jiang Ran now understood why Viviana recommended him to come here.

"It's okay. I think being able to treat everyone equally is an excellent quality."

"Hehe, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. So, is there anything I can help you with?"

The misunderstanding has been resolved, and now comes the real topic.

Jiang Ran directly asked about the "Trial". Oleg was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this distinguished guest would only ask such a trivial matter.

"What do you wish to know about Trials? Is it the number of Trials currently managed by our guild?"

"Please start with the basics and explain it to me."

"Ok."

Oleg demonstrated his professionalism and explained the "Trial" to Jiang Ran in great detail.

The so-called "Trial" refers to the magical space that is naturally formed in the fluctuation of magical power. This space will appear anywhere in the form of a glowing cube.

Anyone who enters the glowing cube will be immediately teleported into the magical space. Therefore, the glowing cube is also called the "Gate of Trial".

The magic space breeds powerful monsters. Only by defeating the monsters and destroying their magic cores can the intruders leave the magic space.

Those who successfully conquer the magic space will receive rewards, one of which is to unlock the upgrade limit of the current combat profession level. The corresponding levels of this limit are:

Level 20;

Level 50;

Level 90;

Level 140 and so on.

Challenging the magic space is the only way to unlock the upgrade restrictions, but the risk of the challenge is very high.

First of all, only one person can enter the Trial Gate at a time. Once someone enters, the Trial Gate will turn black and cannot be entered until the person inside dies and then light up again. If the challenge is successful, the Trial Gate will disappear immediately after the challenger comes out.

Secondly, there are five colors of the Trial Gate: white, yellow, orange, red, and purple.

The five colors correspond to five difficulty levels, with white being the easiest and purple being the most difficult.

But even the easiest white trial has a mortality rate of 20 to 30 percent. That is why the magic space is called a "trial."

"One of the responsibilities of our Quest Guild is to manage the trial gates that appear near towns and prevent uninformed people from accidentally breaking in," said Oleg.

"What's the mortality rate of the Purple Trial?" Jiang Ran asked.

Hearing the boy's question, Oleg thought that he was really young and frivolous. A mortality rate of 20 to 30 percent did not surprise the boy.

"The fifth level purple trial has a 100% mortality rate within our West Kingdom."

4.11 - Delegating Tasks

A 100% mortality rate means that no one has ever succeeded.

Jiang Ran frowned. If that was the case, then why did Viviana specifically remind him at that time?

——"By the way, in the Trial, don't challenge the fifth level of difficulty, no matter what!"

(Do I look like a fool?)

Jiang Ran was puzzled.

(Benni: Hehe, you don’t understand this!)

(Benni: When a child cares about someone, even if it’s just you drinking water, she’s afraid you’ll choke!)

The silly loli was rarely "smarter" than Jiang Ran, and she sang a song proudly.

Jiang Ran continued to consult Oleg about the "trial" despite the noisy "background music".

"Branch Chief, if that's the case, then doesn't that mean everyone will challenge the White Trial?"

"There is indeed such a tendency, but some people also choose difficulty levels higher than white for better rewards."

Oleg went on to explain the details of the trial.

Although challengers can unlock upgrade restrictions regardless of the difficulty of the trial, higher difficulty trials mean better rewards.

In addition, the strength of the monsters in the trial will automatically change according to the level of the challenger. This means that in the most "bad" case, a person can choose to challenge the white trial at level 20, level 50, level 90... and this is actually the choice of most people.

"After all, life is the most important thing. If you die, you will have nothing."

After hearing what Oleg said, Jiang Ran could guess why the old man's level remained at level 50 and did not continue to rise.

In addition, Emilia's combat profession level is exactly at level 20.

"Excuse me, what does the level level refer to?"

"Oh, that's easy to understand. Levels 1 to 20 are the first stage, levels 21 to 50 are the second stage, and so on."

"I see. That means it would be better to reach the highest level of the corresponding rank before challenging the trial, right?"

"exactly."

Oleg was a little puzzled as to why Viviana's friend didn't understand these common sense things at all.

But he is a man of measure and knows what to ask and what not to ask.

"Your level should still be at level one, right? The number of level one white trials is quite limited recently. If you need it, I can help reserve one for you."

As expected of the branch chief, he is indeed a good person, but Jiang Ran is not planning to make a decision for the time being.

"Oh, that's not necessary. I'll think about it and contact you later."

Rather than choosing the difficulty of the trial, Jiang Ran was now more curious about how Oleg could tell that his level was only level one.

(This is probably based on experience... From my perspective, I'm still quite weak, and I don't have the aura of Viviana and the others.)

Jiang Ran believed that his current attribute values, except for a little more magic power, were still far from enough in terms of strength and agility. In addition, his ability in frontal combat was also a huge shortcoming.

The road to becoming stronger is still long.

"Is there anything else I can do to help you, sir?"

"Not for now. If I need you, I'll come back to the union."

After the conversation tonight, Jiang Ran felt that Branch Chief Oleg was someone worth making friends with.

He did not receive me because of the golden emblem of the Feiqi family, but because of his friendship with Viviana.

Viviana is really amazing. A 16-year-old girl has such a strong network of contacts.

Before parting, Jiang Ran suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Branch Chief... I have a request..."

[Confession death countdown remaining: 9 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

The next morning, Jiang Ran arrived at the door of the Mission Union.

At this time, the union only had new staff members, and no half-pay hunters.

After entering the hall, Jiang Ran and Emilia's eyes met. To Jiang Ran's surprise, she actually waved and told Jiang Ran the location of the "Trial Guide". However, there was still no expression on her face.

Jiang Ran is not a narcissistic person. He understands that Emilia is not actively showing goodwill, but is doing so out of professionalism.

(There are not many people like this in society.)

Jiang Ran was impressed by Emilia's integrity, but the silly loli didn't see it that way.

(Benni: Really? I suspect she might have facial paralysis.)

Hearing the word "facial paralysis", Jiang Ran suddenly felt a little nostalgic.

Back then, he was also called a person with facial paralysis.

·

Because he had already heard Oleg's detailed introduction last night, Jiang Ran thanked Emilia for her kindness and went directly to the task board in the hall. On this wooden board, a large number of commissioned tasks were neatly classified.

Jiang Ran was very clear about his situation. Although he had reached level 20, it was just luck that he had reached that level.

When it comes to fighting skills, he is still far behind in both practical experience and combat capabilities.

There is no one else to rely on in the "Trial", and there is no option to escape once you enter.

In this world, there are neither potions that can restore health nor easy-to-obtain magic potions.

With Jiang Ran's current strength, challenging the "Trial" would undoubtedly be suicide.

Therefore, before challenging the "Trial", he must be fully prepared - this is why Jiang Ran is now looking at the commissioned task.

Completing commissioned tasks can not only improve strength and experience, but also make money to update equipment and props, which is very consistent with Jiang Ran’s current needs.

As time went by, more and more people gathered around the task board.

Since there were not many people in the guild last night, and Jiang Ran ran away halfway, Jiang Ran's appearance in the task guild today did not attract attention.

Jiang Ran was among the crowd, and heard everyone discussing the same commission: "Hunting the tree demon lurking in the wasteland."

[img=675,1200]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2022/11/1ab47f64-66f0-4ee3-a9a4-2d18898df66b.jpg[/img]

There are two main points of discussion among reward hunters:

1. This commission has been posted for half a month, and no one has been able to complete it;

2. The "Meditation Ring" is the usual equipment of Branch Chief Oleg. Many people have offered to buy it from him before, but he refused to sell it. Unexpectedly, he is willing to give it out as a prize this time.

"The guild's internal commissions are great! I'm a Level 31 warrior! Anyone want to team up with me?"

"A level 34 swordsman, a level 29 sniper archer, and a level 36 advanced fighter. We're still short of a frontline member to take on the dryad's attacks. Anyone want to join us?"

"..."

These words of recruiting team members reminded Jiang Ran of the time when he played "Yamaguchi Mountain" in the past. However, he didn't plan to form a team next time, he wanted to play solo.

The silly loli was a little confused when she heard Jiang Ran's inner thoughts.

(Benni: Eh? Aren’t you looking for a girl to capture? Why are you looking at commissioned quests here?)

(Jiang Ran: The girl has already been chosen. Completing this commission is the first step in the strategy.)

(Benni: Eh? When did you decide? Who do you want to capture?)

4.12 - Getting Started (Update)

(Jiang Ran: The girl we just decided to capture is Emilia.)

Jiang Ran looked at the blonde fox girl at the front desk. She was also reading a book quietly.

(Benny: Oh, I understand. No need to explain. It must be because she is too big.)

The stupid loli's words were full of sourness.

(Jiang Ran: ...What's too big?)

(Benny: Isn’t it? Then why not?)
