Golden Mission

Compared to the last time, Luo Jun felt much more at ease on this trip to the Savage Wilderness.

First of all, his strength has improved. After a series of upgrades, breakthroughs, and the enhancement from the Nine Revolutions Great Restoration Pill, Luo Jun is now much stronger than when the Ants Attack City. He is confident that if he were to encounter the same formation of Cannon Ant again, he could easily handle it.

Secondly, he had money in his pocket. He had previously received two million Wildlands Coin from the Wildlands Hunter Guild, and later exchanged them for over six hundred thousand in receipts, bringing his total to over three million. Adding to this the numerous miscellaneous missions he had completed, Luo Jun's current assets, calculated in Wildlands Coin, amounted to over three million six hundred thousand, making him an absolute tycoon among the hunters of Lingyun City. Moreover, he didn't have a team to support, making him practically a one-of-a-kind diamond bachelor.

In addition, the Wildlands Hunter Guild gave him all sorts of VIP treatment, so this second trip to the Savage Wilderness felt like a relaxing vacation.

The only downside is that, with the exchange of information between the Main World and the Savage Wilderness after the gate opened, Night's name became increasingly well-known. When he walked down the street, he was often recognized. Some shy people would point and talk about him from afar, while some gangsters would even rush up to greet him and ask for autographs. Even worse, some people, not to Qi Ingestion his fame, would challenge him.

With Luo Jun's current strength, he wasn't afraid of challenges and could usually take them down in no time. However, as the number of challengers increased and they became increasingly annoying, he simply resorted to drastic measures, breaking Root Bone... Although such injuries weren't fatal, their deterrent effect was sufficient. From then on, Ye's bad temper spread, and he couldn't even find anyone asking for his autograph.

Taking advantage of the absence of others, Luo Jun wasn't in a hurry to complete missions. He would stroll around the streets when he had free time, occasionally looking at those selling magical artifacts and buying any that suited him. After exploring the city, he would find a secluded spot in the wilderness to get used to his newly acquired magical artifacts.

Hunters won't use their Noble Phantasms unless they're pushed to the limit. The ones that appear on the market are mostly junk items used to make money in emergencies. They're mostly common quality white ones, with excellent quality ones considered top-tier, and rare quality ones are extremely rare.

These low-level items offered little room for maneuver, and Luo Jun mastered them after a few tries. What was truly worth studying were the items he obtained from the Chaos Mission.

For example, the Crisscross that you wouldn't have the chance to use in the Main World.

As described, this Noble Rook, Knight, Cannon, and cannon. It's worth mentioning that the chariot form is originally a small armored War Chariot with a rather fantastical style, about the size of a large-displacement off-road vehicle, but its appearance can be changed. It can either design its own or simulate the appearance of other vehicles... However, each change requires consuming energy.

As for the horses, they are stylish Mechanical Warhorse that, in addition to serving as mounts, also possess considerable melee combat capabilities. They can kick like ordinary horses and have a sharp bayonet on their heads as a single horn.

The cannon is undeniably powerful, but its biggest drawback is its fixed turret, making it impossible to move...

Besides Crisscross, he also familiarized himself with the use of the Crescent Moon Blade these past few days. Just as Luo Jun had guessed, this three- or four-meter-long broadsword really was more convenient to use when carried on horseback. As for swordsmanship, although Luo Jun had never formally studied it, he had practiced with wild monsters these past few days and had come up with some techniques.

This is thanks to his high attributes: Strength allows him to wield the hundreds-of-pounds-weight sword with ease; Agility allows him to perform various movements with ease and accuracy; Perception Attribute allows him to lock onto targets with great precision; and Mental Ability allows him to learn from experience and constantly adjust his moves...

It can be said that with such attributes, even without the guidance of a master, the swordsmanship he summarized on his own was quite decent. Although it was not particularly exquisite, it was at least simple, practical, and quite powerful.

And so, he practiced his sword skills, cultivated his inner energy, wandered the Savage Wilderness, and ate some good food every day, and the days passed by leisurely.

That day, Luo Jun got up in the morning and was about to go out for breakfast when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

This is quite unusual... Ever since he broke the bones of several foolish challengers, fewer people dare to greet him on the street, and this is the first time anyone has come to his door seeking an audience.

Curious, Luo Jun opened the door and found a Bearded Man in his forties standing outside.

"Ling Kai?"

"Night Brother, you still remember me?" Ling Kai, without any formality, walked into the house with a smile, "Oh my, you've been quite the celebrity lately, there's news about you everywhere... I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"I'll pay you back the money I owe you right now." Luo Jun had always remembered this matter, but he hadn't seen Ling Kai these past few days. This month, the Savage Wilderness area had also changed its rotating manager. Although he respected Luo Jun, they had never dealt with each other before. In order to maintain Ye's persona, he didn't rush to inquire about Ling Kai.

"Oh, we're all on the same side, let's not talk about money!" Ling Kai waved his hand.

"One of our own?" Luo Jun was somewhat taken aback.

"Yes, Mister Ye, you don't know yet... I've already reported our relationship to the Lineage. From now on, I'll be your personal Savage Wilderness Advisor, and I'll be your sole liaison regarding guild and mission matters!"

Luo Jun frowned slightly. After hearing Ling Yi's evaluation of him, Luo Jun was a little unsure how this bearded man had reported to the Lineage... But having a private consultant wasn't a bad thing, especially since he had indeed received help from him before, and helping him achieve some performance targets was just a small favor.

"So you're just here to familiarize yourself with the place today?" Luo Jun poured Ling Kai a glass of water.

"Oh... thank you, I was really thirsty..." Ling Kai gulped down half a glass, then said, "Knowing the way is one thing, but I have a more important task..."

As he spoke, Ling Kai took out a rolled-up task sheet from his bag and handed it to Luo Jun.

"Gold?" The task sheet was covered by a striking gold symbol, which caught Luo Jun's attention.

"With your current status, ordinary missions wouldn't even register... But let me make this clear first, this mission is rather special. It's not public; it's only being released privately to a few powerful hunters and teams. Even if you don't accept it after seeing it, you can't reveal any information about it." Ling Kai spoke very solemnly, making it clear that this mission was not so simple.

Luo Jun thought for a second, then opened it anyway.

Whether or not to accept it is up to you, and keeping a secret isn't that difficult.

Upon opening the package, the title of the mission caused Luo Jun's pupils to dilate suddenly.

"Rescue the Clan Troops!"

Luo Jun looked at Ling Kai, thinking to himself, "Are you sure the title isn't printed wrong? Are you sure the words 'rescue' and 'Clan Troops' are arranged like this?"

"The mission sheet wasn't printed incorrectly, I checked it..." Ling Kai noticed Luo Jun's question and sighed, "This mission might be a bit serious..."

Luo Jun frowned, continuing to look at the task list, his shock deepening...

The general content of the mission is that the guild discovered an unusual Vital Energy Wave in a certain place while exploring the Savage Wilderness. They then sent a Clan Troops to investigate, but the force never returned and was never heard from again.

Later, in order to find out the truth, the guild sent another force, but just like the first one, it disappeared without a trace. Now, more than three months have passed since the first force entered the Savage Wilderness, and even if that force survived, it is very likely that it has been corrupted.

However, there is still a possibility of saving the situation for the subsequent unit.

So the mission is to go to that dangerous place and find the two missing units. If the first unit is already beyond saving, you can abandon it or even kill it. The second unit is the main rescue target.
