[TX-7811: Clear out the "Shadow Spider" group of Yuntai City West District Sewer, estimated number is 200-300, reward points 350-550]

[WJ-2238: Escort the geological exploration team to "Red Rock Mountains", five days round trip, reward points 800]

[JS-5602: Detection of "Dark Canyon" energy anomaly requires mental power of 35+, reward points 600-1200]

[...]

There are a lot of tasks, but the rewards are generally not as good as Rotten Wood Demon.

Clearance missions take a long time and the points are scattered; escort missions take longer and have fixed benefits; reconnaissance missions are high-risk, but the rewards fluctuate greatly and are too uncertain.

Xu Wuyi further refined the filtering criteria. "Remove all tasks that take more than three days, and remove tasks with a base score of less than 800."

The list is refreshed.

This time there are only seven left.

Three of them are cleanup types, but the targets are either Star Beast who are good at Concealment Rule, or underground caves with complex environments, so the cleanup efficiency is very low.

Two are escorts. Although the time is compressed to three days, the escort targets are all important people or materials, with many rules and restrictions.

There are two remaining ones, one is to collect a certain rare medicinal material, which requires going deep into a dangerous area, but the reward is only a basic 900 points; the other is to assist a certain research project in actual combat testing, and is rewarded with 1,000 points, but it requires signing a confidentiality agreement, and the content of the test is unknown.

Xu Wuyi closed the list.

These tasks are not optimal.

"It seems that there are really not many good tasks." He whispered to himself.

Rotten Wood Demon Tasks with high rewards, short time-consuming, and clear goals are rare.

Most of the time, Martial Artist needs to make a choice between long-term tasks with high rewards and high risks, and short-term tasks with low rewards but stability.

But Xu Wuyi now has no time to slowly do short-term tasks.

He needs points, lots of points.

"Expand the search scope." He made a decision, "Anna, remove the geographical restrictions and expand the search scope to the entire Federation, but the task time is still limited to three days."

He is willing to spend some time on the road, but this also means that the cost-effectiveness of the task needs to be higher

"Re-screening... Screening completed. Number of eligible tasks: 19."

The new list expands.

Xu Wuyi Look over one by one.

Most tasks still don't meet his requirements.

Either the distance is too far and the round trip time is too long; or the mission content is complex and a large amount of professional equipment needs to be prepared in advance; or although the reward is high, the team is clearly required to receive it, and the team must have martial arts masters with specific abilities.

Just when he was about to adjust the conditions again, a task jumped into his sight.

[Task number: LK-4472]

[Type: rift exploration/clearance]

[Location: Southeast of Maple Leaf Province "Ashen Wasteland", code-named "7-C" temporary rift]

[Background: The rift appeared two weeks ago, but failed to be eliminated immediately, resulting in its expansion, with a large number of Star Beast escaping. Federation has evacuated the surrounding people, and three days ago, tactical grade thermal weapons were used to cover a large area. It is now confirmed that the rift has been temporarily stabilized, and most of the escaping Star Beast have been killed.]

[Objective: 1. Enter the area affected by the fissure, deploy a certain number of signal base stations, and restore regional communication monitoring; 2. Explore the three-kilometer radius around the fissure to confirm whether there are any residual Star Beast, and if so, remove them; 3. Collect fissure energy samples.]

[Requirements: The recipient must be a martial artist of level 33 or above, and a team of three or more is recommended.]

[Reward: 2000 fixed points, additional points can be calculated for Star Beast killed during the mission (redeemed based on standard combat merit)]

[Estimated time: 2-3 days]

[Risk Rating: High]

[Note: After being hit by thermal weapons, the environment in this area is extremely unstable, and there are various dangers such as residual radiation, energy turbulence, and terrain collapse. The receiving team needs to prepare their own protective equipment and must arrive at the frontline assembly point within 12 hours after receiving it.]

Xu Wuyi's eyes stayed on the reward column.

Fixed 2000 points.

This was higher than any mission he had done before.

What's more important is that Star Beast killed during the mission can also calculate additional points.

Although the Star Beast energy level of "Ashen Wasteland" is generally not high, if the quantity is large enough, it can add up to a considerable amount of income.

The risks are of course high.

The environment in the area after the thermal weapon attack is extremely harsh, and the description of "residual Star Beast" is very vague - who knows if there may be high-level Star Beast that slipped through the net?

But Xu Wuyi was moved.

For this kind of task, one person can help him do four or five ordinary tasks.

"Anna, retrieve detailed information on "7-C Fissure" and Ashen Wasteland's recent battle report."

"Recalling... please wait."

The light screen switches and a large amount of information pours out.

The 7-C fissure appeared two weeks ago. It was initially just a small space fluctuation. However, the local garrisoned martial artist failed to arrive in time, causing the fissure to expand four times in six hours, with more than two hundred Star Beast pouring out of the fissure.

Most of these Star Beast are "Ash Worm" and "Lava Lizard", with energy levels between 25-30 and belonging to the common species of Ashen Wasteland.

However, there are also a small amount of higher-end Star Beast mixed in, and the specific type is unknown.

Since the fissure is located deep in the wilderness and there are no settlements around it, Federation decided to directly use tactical-grade thermal weapons to carry out coverage strikes.

Three days ago, four "Purifier" missiles hit the target area and completely plowed the ground.

The area around the 7-C fissure has now turned into scorched earth.

The crack itself is temporarily closed due to energy impact, but the internal structure is unknown and there may be a risk of secondary collapse.

"After a thermal weapon attack, the probability of high-energy Star Beast surviving is very low, but it does not rule out that there are individuals who are good at drilling into the ground or have high energy resistance." Xu Wuyi quickly analyzed.

"The focus of the mission is to lay out base stations and collect samples. Fighting is not the primary goal... but if there is a chance to fight, we can't let it go."

The task information on the screen is displayed quietly.

Xu Wuyi glanced back and forth between the two lines "Fixed Points 2000" and "Risk Rating: High".

Maple Leaf Province, Ashen Wasteland.

The straight-line distance from Yuntai City is more than 800 kilometers, and it takes nearly two hours to fly even by a military high-speed transport aircraft.

The task is estimated to take 2-3 days, and including the round trip, it may take about four days.

But the fixed reward of 2,000 points and the attraction of additional kill gains are too great.

More importantly, in this type of "clearing the battlefield" mission, although the environment is harsh, after thermal weapons cleanse the ground, the probability of remaining high-threat targets will be greatly reduced.

For him with strong mental perception and range of attack methods, the efficiency may be higher than conventional clearing.

Risks and benefits coexist.

Xu Wuyi didn't hesitate for long.

"Anna, accept mission LK-4472."

"Accepting... accepted successfully. Mission information and frontline assembly point coordinates have been synchronized to your personal terminal. Please note that you need to arrive at the assembly point to report within 12 hours. Overdue mission qualifications may be cancelled."
