Death-Rank Mission

Su Zhe did not expect that the promotion requirements for the Universe Mercenary Alliance would be written directly on this email.

However, it actually seemed quite reasonable.

Over at the Virtual Universe Company, Hong and Thunder God, who had mastered domains at the Star Level, and even Luo Feng, who had not yet mastered a domain, were all invited to become elite members of the Virtual Universe Company. Since the Universe Mercenary Alliance was a mixed bag of people, the requirements would only be simpler.

Su Zhe was in no rush to check the missions of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

What he needed to do now was to first dispose of the weapons and equipment he had obtained in the Thunder World.

Canglan Star was among the top 100 planets in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

The items Su Zhe had obtained were not even worth mentioning here, so it was very quick to dispose of them all.

After finding a merchant that recycled weapons, Su Zhe sold all the items on his person, including the beast materials he had bundled together. In the end, Su Zhe obtained a total of over 21 billion Black Dragon Coins!

Although it was still far less than the first sum of money Luo Feng had obtained through Hu Yanbo's account when he was at the Star Level.

But this was money Su Zhe had earned with his own two hands, and the process had been extremely arduous.

With such a sum of funds, Su Zhe could finally continue to improve his strength.

However, before breaking through to the Universe Level.

Su Zhe prepared to first take a look at what missions the Universe Mercenary Alliance had to offer.

Once he broke through to the Universe Level, he would need to participate in the one-star mercenary assessment. At that point, he would no longer be able to accept trainee mercenary missions, and he might miss out on some treasures limited to the Star Level.

Su Zhe pulled up the mission system of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

The internal mission system of the Universe Mercenary Alliance was divided into four levels: Trainee, One-Star, Two-Star, and Three-Star.

These corresponded exactly to Trainee Mercenary, One-Star Mercenary, Two-Star Mercenary, and Three-Star Mercenary.

Missions of the same level were further divided into five grades based on difficulty: Safe, Difficult, Dangerous, Extremely Dangerous, and Death.

The higher the difficulty, the higher the mortality rate. By the time one reached the Death grade, the mortality rate was almost over 95%.

One had to know that those who dared to accept Death grade missions were all very confident in their own strength; many were geniuses who had mastered domains at the Star Level. The fact that even they faced such an exaggerated mortality rate spoke for itself.

Su Zhe, of course, chose the Death grade missions.

There were not many Death grade missions within the Black Dragon Mountain star field; there were only three in total.

[Warning!!!]

[The Death grade mission difficulty is extremely high, with a mortality rate of over 95%. Once a mission is accepted, a penalty fee must be paid if the mission fails.]

Because the missions in the Universe Mercenary Alliance were all posted by other people and belonged to an employment-based system, once a mission was accepted by someone, others could not continue to accept it.

If the mission failed at this point, it would naturally waste a lot of time for the employer.

The penalty fee was the compensation paid for the time delayed.

Of course, there were also some missions that did not limit the number of people or the time; whoever completed the mission first could claim the reward. For these types of missions, there was no need to pay a penalty fee if one failed.

Su Zhe chose to ignore the risks and continue viewing.

Perhaps because he was at the Star Level.

Among the three Death grade missions, only one required entering a secret realm, while the other two were an assassination mission and a protection mission.

[Assassination Mission: Assassinate the Ninth Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, "Brolin". Deadline: None. Commission: 100 million Ganwu Coins.]

[Protection Mission: Protect the Seventh Prince of the Guangyuan Empire, "Asa", for a period of 1,000 years. Commission: 10 billion Black Dragon Coins.]

[Exploration Mission: Enter the outer area of the "Lava Secret Realm" and collect "Fire Marrow Crystal" ore (starting from 10 units). Purchase price per unit: 150 million Black Dragon Coins.]

The three Death grade missions were all quite difficult.

Among them, the first mission was to directly assassinate a prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, yet the reward was not particularly high, and it was placed among the trainee-level missions. This made Su Zhe highly suspicious of whether this mission was a trap set by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

Under normal circumstances, to assassinate a prince within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, one would need at least the strength of a Domain Lord or a World Lord. Even a World Lord would be unlikely to risk being hunted down by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to assassinate a prince.

Only those wandering Domain Lords might take the risk to carry out such an assassination.

However, 100 million Ganwu Coins was not a particularly large amount for a Universe Level powerhouse, let alone for a Domain Lord.

Su Zhe shook his head slightly and ignored this mission.

Of the remaining two missions, the protection mission was not a simple job either.

He clicked on the details of that mission.

[Mission]: Protect the Seventh Prince of the Guangyuan Empire, "Asa".

[Details]: The Seventh Prince of the Guangyuan Empire, "Asa", is about to participate in the unique imperial succession competition of the Guangyuan Empire. Protecting him for 1,000 years or until he breaks through to the Universe Level will complete the mission. All daily expenses during the mission will be covered by Asa. Other princes will send people to assassinate Asa (according to imperial rules, this is limited to the Star Level, but the appearance of Universe Level individuals cannot be ruled out).

[Commission]: 10 billion Black Dragon Coins.

This mission looked okay, but it involved this kind of imperial succession competition. Even though the Guangyuan Empire was only a primary cosmic civilization in the Black Dragon Mountain star field, with its strongest being only a World Lord, one could still see the blood and carnage behind it.

Su Zhe did not want to get involved in such matters, and on top of that, 1,000 years was simply too long; it would be a complete waste of time.

Su Zhe turned his gaze toward the final mission.

[Mission]: Explore the Lava Secret Realm and obtain Fire Marrow Crystal ore.

[Details]: The Lava Secret Realm is a small secret realm within the Black Dragon Mountain star region. It is inhabited by one, and only one, type of ferocious beast known as the Lava Monster. Lava Monsters produce and collect a type of ore unique to the Lava Secret Realm called "Fire Marrow Crystal." Collecting 10 units of Fire Marrow Crystal completes the mission. Any surplus ore can be sold back to the Universe Mercenary Alliance at a price of 150 million Black Dragon Coins per unit.

[Commission]: No base commission; receive 1.5 billion Black Dragon Coins upon mission completion.

The Lava Monsters in the Lava Secret Realm are Star Level upon reaching adulthood. Not only is their individual strength formidable, but they are also gregarious, and the number of Universe Level Lava Monsters is quite significant.

To collect Fire Marrow Crystals, one inevitably has to deal with those Lava Monsters, or even break into their nests to steal or seize the crystals.

In this process, the Universe Level Lava Monsters encountered are the greatest source of danger.

The Lava Secret Realm mission has no time limit and no late penalties; it is a mission issued directly by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch of the Universe Mercenary Alliance.

Su Zhe chose to accept this mission and received the coordinates and entry permit for the Lava Secret Realm.

Next, it was time to go do some shopping.
