Born Actor

Sister Cat and the others wanted to recruit me, and Wang Qianduo could feel it.

But he hadn't expected them to be so thoughtful. However, he really didn't want to pursue a professional player path right now, so he could only pretend not to notice.

After the group finished dividing the spoils, they went together to find the novice instructor Yue Ming to hand in the quest.

Two days later, seeing Yue Ming again, Wang Qianduo felt a bit resentful.

It was this idiot who had kicked him out of the novice trial.

If not for Ling's help, he might still be kneeling in the plaza for summoning mechs!

If it weren't for the fact that the instructor had subsidized him with a super-equipment-in-the-making, the Phoenix Blood Engine, he wouldn't just be feeling a little resentful right now.

"Hello, Instructor! We're here to turn in our quest!" Wang Qianduo smiled and approached Yue Ming, handing him the proof of Mark Bei's kill.

Smiling at everyone was an experience Wang Qianduo had learned from his two lifetimes.

Only children wore their thoughts about a person on their faces.

In the adult world, even if the other party is your enemy, you shouldn't reveal your true emotions when talking to them.

Because then you lose!

"Well done, recruit! Here are your rewards!"

NPC Yue Ming said indifferently as he looked at what Wang Qianduo handed him.

Like General Huang, Yue Ming was a high-ranking official in the starting camp.

But where there are people, there is conflict. He and General Huang were not on the same side.

He didn't even know why General Huang had sent a recruit to complete a mission that originally belonged to them.

As for Wang Qianduo, he no longer recognized him.

Even though he was very special in the starting zone, he had guided too many people.

He thought Wang Qianduo was just looking a bit friendly due to the VIP 15 charm bonus.

System Notification: You have completed the quest [Annihilate the Black Shark Pirate Leader]. Rewards: 50 Contribution Points, 5000 Experience, 10 Gold Crystals, Rare Equipment Blueprint Treasure Chest * 1.

Everyone's rewards were the same, but only Wang Qianduo received an additional 50 Contribution Points, which was his special reward for discovering the quest.

Contribution Points were used to upgrade military ranks. Wang Qianduo's current rank was Squad Leader. He needed 100 Contribution Points to be promoted to the next rank, Corporal.

At the end of the last mission, it seemed he was the only one who had activated the military rank system. Miracle Sword and the others hadn't, and he didn't know why.

"You did well this time, but have you ever thought about it?

Mark Bei was just a minor leader of the Black Shark Pirates. Why was he able to break through the Alliance's layers of blockade and sneak into Starfield One?"

After distributing the rewards to everyone, Yue Ming said to Wang Qianduo.

Wang Qianduo fell into thought as he listened to Yue Ming's words. He hadn't really considered these things before.

In his impression, wasn't it normal for monsters to spawn on the map in games? What was there to consider?

But with the instructor's mention, he realized a blind spot.

This game was different from others. Apart from some mechanics, it didn't feel like a game at all.

It was as real as a world.

Where monsters appeared and what kind of monsters appeared must have a storyline behind it.

As Yue Ming said, Mark Bei was just a minor leader of the Black Shark Pirates, who roamed the galaxy.

How did he manage to infiltrate Starfield One, which was close to humanity's former center, the "Mother Star"?

While Wang Qianduo was lost in thought, the others looked at each other. This was another quest chain!

They thought the quest chain from General Huang had been interrupted due to their level, but they didn't expect it to seamlessly connect here.

And they were currently in a team, but Yue Ming didn't even glance at the others, directly handing the quest to Wang Qianduo.

This also made everyone confused. It wasn't that they wanted to snatch Wang Qianduo's quest, but the difference in treatment was too obvious!

What they didn't know was that the principle was actually very simple. Wang Qianduo had a military rank, but they didn't. Naturally, Yue Ming couldn't bypass Wang Qianduo and approach them.

Wang Qianduo: "I've never considered it before, but after hearing you say that, is there some hidden reason? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Everyone: "..."

His way of accepting quests was too smooth!

Yue Ming: "You have potential. I want you to investigate why Mark Bei and those Black Shark Pirates were able to infiltrate.

The defense network that the Federation is proud of was easily breached by these people like a sieve. There must be a reason.

Go to Starfield Nine first to investigate. It's an important interstellar hub, and the infiltration occurred from there!"

He actually managed to get it. This was too unreasonable. The information their club investigated wasn't like this!

The professional players were shocked.

According to their investigation, the NPCs in this game were highly intelligent. Saying the wrong thing could easily lead to a breakdown in conversation.

Wang Qianduo's direct request for a quest was something that would basically only happen for some side quests, and it was highly unlikely to get a main quest like this.

This is totally unreasonable!

Ultimately, it all comes down to affinity. If we calculate it based on the affinity system in the game Guigu Bahuang, Wang Qianduo starts with one more heart than others. After completing a couple of quests and giving a few gifts, he could...

Ahem! Getting off track!

"System prompt: Instructor Yue Ming has issued you a hidden main quest [Investigate the Alliance's Interstellar Defense Line]. Do you accept?"

No need to say, I accept!

Investigate the Alliance's Interstellar Defense Line (Hidden Main Quest): Travel to Xiannv Star, the central planet of Starfield Nine, to investigate the reasons for the Black Shark Pirates' infiltration of the defense line.

Quest Requirements: Obtain intelligence on the Black Shark Pirates' infiltration of the planet.

Reward: Unknown

Player Limit: 1 person

"Uh... so it's a solo mission now. Apologies, everyone!" Wang Qianduo showed the quest details to the group and said.

According to Yue Ming, the information involved in this mission was quite sensitive and shouldn't be known by too many people.

If you don't want too many people to know, why didn't you just tell me in secret!

In front of everyone, you say you don't want too many people to know? Are you kidding me?

But no matter what, the quest had a player limit, so Wang Qianduo couldn't do anything about it.

He was starting to enjoy running dungeons with these powerhouses, as there was so much to learn.

When the others learned that Wang Qianduo's next quest was a solo mission, they didn't say anything. This was normal.

Sister Cat: "Okay, then we're parting ways. Contact us anytime if you get another quest!"

Wang Qianduo: "Alright. I have to work tomorrow during the day, so let's do tomorrow's dungeon after six."

"Are you interested in becoming a professional player? Why not join our club? The salary shouldn't be lower than your current job!" Yun Zhongge said directly.

This is why they say he's young. Wang Qianduo's superior was right there, and he directly said that. Wasn't that just asking for an awkward situation?

Besides, that's not how you poach people!

Before Old Wang could politely refuse, Lin Qimeng stepped forward and grabbed Wang Qianduo's hand.

Looking at Wang Qianduo with her big, watery eyes, she said, "You're not going to abandon me, are you? I was just angry for a few days!"

This is why people say women are born actors. If Wang Qianduo wasn't personally involved, he would have believed her performance.

Yun Zhongge: "You guys? Uh... Sorry, Old Wang, um, we have other things to do, so we'll be going now!"

After Yun Zhongge and Sword of Miracles left awkwardly, Sister Cat, with Cang Hai Ming Yue, also departed. As she left, she smiled and glanced at Lin Qimeng.

"Uh, boss! They've all left, can you let go now?" Wang Qianduo said, looking at his hand that was still being held after everyone else had left.

"What, does it hurt you that I'm holding you?" Lin Qimeng let go of Wang Qianduo's hand and gave him a sideways glance.

"How could it? I was just worried it would affect your reputation!" Wang Qianduo said with a smile.

"You're quite eloquent. I'll let you off the hook! Don't be late for work tomorrow!" Lin Qimeng said, then quickly left with two professional players from the company.

Wang Qianduo rubbed his fingers where Lin Qimeng had squeezed them, shook his head, and smiled before going to start his quest.

"I didn't expect Old Wang and that woman from Shanhai to be a couple. How awkward!" Yun Zhongge said to Sword of Miracles on their way out.

Sword of Miracles looked at him, shook his head, and smiled without saying anything, continuing to walk forward.

"Brother Jian, what are you smiling about?"

"No one else took what just happened seriously except you!"

"You mean... that woman was deceiving us?"

"That's right! A very capable woman, and Shanhai isn't simple either... Sigh~ I wonder how the negotiations are going with our guild leader? They're asking for a lot!"

"Oh, and don't try to poach people so directly in the future. That's not how you do it!"

"Got it!"
