Legion Mission

"Boss, what do you mean? Are you taking advantage of me?"

Come on, he hadn't done anything. He had been working hard here, yet she made it sound as though he had taken advantage of her in some huge way.

Li Xunsheng refused to admit to things he hadn't done!

This succubus was such a hassle. He couldn't even touch her.

"You're the boss. I won't bother you anymore~"

After rolling her eyes at Xuan Sheng, Mo Rui returned to the shop with an aggrieved expression, like a bullied little wife who had been trained to endure hardship.

"Impressive, Brother Li. How did you manage to win over such a beautiful sister-in-law?"

Zhao Jun pricked up his ears, clearly quite interested in this kind of juicy gossip.

"Really, I'm just a wage worker... Forget it. You wouldn't listen anyway. Where were we?"

"The recovery items."

Seeing that Li Xunsheng was unwilling to reveal anything, Zhao Jun tactfully stopped asking and returned to their earlier topic.

"You're busy with daily missions right now?"

"Yeah. This street-patrol mission rewards recovery items. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the time for it."

Although Zhao Jun knew that the expert before him could not only solo Elite Monsters without taking damage but also produce recovery items himself, he knew he did not have many good things on him and did not ask further. Instead, he remembered a mission he had once received while in the military-supplies unit.

For the sake of his comrades who were still in the beginner village, Zhao Jun hesitated for a while before speaking:

"Brother Li, do you know what a Legion Mission is?"

"What's that?"

"I obtained a Legion Mission from the military affairs office in Lone Star City."

To get the expert before him to help, Zhao Jun no longer concealed anything and directly shared the mission details:

[Annoying Kobolds: (Legion Mission) Outside Lone Star City, scouts discovered groups of kobolds. They may raid the villagers outside the city, so their movements and purpose must be determined as soon as possible. Mission Reward: Conscription Order! Additional ordinary-to-Divine Artifact-grade equipment awarded according to merit!]

"As long as this mission is completed, my comrades from the beginner village can ignore the carriage restrictions and come directly to Lone Star City after accepting the conscription."

At this, Zhao Jun's expression turned solemn.

Although his comrades, who had arrived a day or two late, would certainly not be able to compete with the players who had arrived in the first wave, they would still be far better off than those competitors who could only arrive in the second week.

Besides, without this mission, it might not even be possible for all his comrades to leave the beginner village by the second week.

The competition in the beginner villages was far too intense now, and things were already slipping out of control...

Zhao Jun had obtained some relevant information. In beginner village 1111 alone, the number of dead players had already exceeded thirty percent—an appalling figure of more than three hundred!

Some of them had died to monsters because of their recklessness. Some had starved to death because their satiety had dropped too low and they could not obtain food. A very small number had died at the hands of evil players...

Because food was scarce, certain indescribable scenes of chaos had already begun appearing in the wilderness...

In short, the beginner-village environment was becoming increasingly uncontrollable. Leaving as soon as possible was the only sensible choice.

And the Legion Mission he had obtained had given Zhao Jun the best way to help his comrades!

"So, are the two of us going to complete this mission?"

[Kobold Army: Approximately one thousand members. Average combat power: Lv8. Contains Lv10 Elite Monsters and Lv15 Lord-level bosses!]

Through his Eye of God, the young man saw the monsters' information and looked strangely at the man before him.

Although the only thing about the mission that attracted Li Xunsheng was the possibility of obtaining a Divine Artifact,

if the mission was truly completed, the entire small group that came after being conscripted would owe him a favor. That would still be extremely useful.

Besides, there were no longer enough Demonic Energy Villagers for Xuan Sheng to use for leveling. These kobolds might give him a pleasant surprise.

Thus, he was willing to help complete this so-called Legion Mission.

But the problem was...with so many enemies, he and the Zhao Jun before him...

[Po Jun (Zhao Jun): Lv.5 Villager. Equipment: Two-Handed Greatsword (Lv.5 White), Patrol Uniform (Lv.3 White). STR: 19 (+2), INT: 9, AGI: 14, VIT: 14 (+2), SPR: 9. Attack: 35. Defense: 21]

[Notice: Due to insufficient sleep, this person's current reaction speed is too low. He is in a fatigued state and cannot bring out the full strength shown on his surface panel.]

Hmm... Had he been staying up late to level?

After examining Zhao Jun's panel and making a rough comparison, Li Xunsheng found that although the other man was the same level as him, every attribute was less than half of his own...

Although Zhao Jun's main attribute, Strength, had reached 21 points, Li Xunsheng's un-equipped Strength after using [Shrimp in Snow] was already 41... The gap was simply too enormous...

Zhao Jun in this state probably could not help much against Lv8 monsters.

Moreover, this mission was not simple.

Even if completing the mission only required obtaining reliable information, that information would not be found on ordinary kobolds. At the very least, it would have to drop from an Elite Monster for there to be any chance of obtaining the mission item. Otherwise, the mission would not have been called a "Legion Mission."

Pushing through the kobold elites while surrounded by a horde of monsters was not something a two-man team could accomplish.

"Of course it won't be just the two of us. I've also contacted my younger sister. She's a mage."

When he mentioned his younger sister, a hint of pride appeared on the normally stiff man's face.

"You have a younger sister? Wait, your sister has already left the beginner village? She got out on her own?"

Compared to the fact that Zhao Jun had a younger sister, Xuan Sheng was even more surprised by this.

"If she could leave the beginner village through her own strength, she probably isn't a simple person."

"Of course. To show my sincerity in cooperating, I won't hide anything either. She received the inheritance of a hidden class and is very powerful. As long as we can withstand the kobolds' attacks, she can handle all the damage output."

After hearing the news that Li Xunsheng had killed an Elite Monster without taking damage, Zhao Jun knew that this companion from the same beginner village definitely possessed extraordinary defensive abilities!

"Also, Brother Li, don't you have that lady's contact information? Her combat power should be quite high by now too, right?"

The woman Zhao Jun was referring to was naturally Yi Qing, who had come out in the same group.

Back then, Yi Qing had killed an Elite Wild Boar alone at the cost of losing an arm. This had both earned Zhao Jun's admiration and left a deep impression on him.

A woman as resolute and decisive as her could not have ordinary achievements. Although he did not have her as a friend, he knew that Li Xunsheng seemed to have a good relationship with her and should still be in contact with her.

If they could bring her along as well, completing this Legion Mission should not be too risky!

"Hmm... That should work..."

After thinking it over, Li Xunsheng nodded slightly.

Since Yi Qing owed him a favor for lending her money before, asking her to come help should not be a problem.

"However, your current condition really makes it difficult to trust you... You should get some rest first, then consider taking on an adventure like this."

Xuan Sheng could not understand Zhao Jun's decision to push himself so desperately to level up.

If he kept this up, he might become distracted and die to a wild monster in a daze. Then everything would be over.

"Also, I need to meet your sister first and see what she's like before we go find Yi Qing."

"Good! Then I'll see you this afternoon!"
