[Mission "Destroy the Node" completed] [Time spent: S] [Investigation efficiency: S] [Impact: S] [Overall rating: SSS] [Lifespan +150, bonus +50]
The mission wasn't very difficult overall.
Li Wei carefully read through the system's mission report and sighed quietly.
Ever since he had acquired [Reality Anchoring], missions like this had become easier, and the rewards had shrunk.
That was normal, of course. The system wasn't going to let him exploit a bug to farm rewards.
Incidentally, using [Reality Anchoring] to deal with that weakened node had cost him... fifty days of lifespan.
Right. Might as well treat it as MP.
Li Wei still remembered that his first use of [Reality Anchoring] against the disappearance rumor at the Royal Academy of Medicine had cost thirty days, while this node had cost fifty. In other words, [Reality Anchoring] considered the node stronger than the rumor. That raised a question: how was that strength determined?
If Li Wei were to compare this node with the earlier disappearance rumor, the biggest difference was that the node had a physical body, while the rumor merely clung to Aitina, who was a ghost. Moreover, the rumor was restricted to a particular area, while the node wasn't... Hmm, whether something had a physical form seemed to be a major factor in its strength.
In a supernatural novel, would that mean ghosts were easier to deal with than zombies?
In any case, these were still only guesses. He could only work out the specifics through one experiment after another.
Looking at the notebook in his hands, Li Wei felt as though he were back to writing his thesis. The problem was that he couldn't even find a review article to copy from now. He had to conduct every experiment himself, over and over...
