【Your rank [Overlooker] has been enabled. 】
Tao Sai stared at this sentence in confusion.
After Season 1 ended, she topped the leaderboard and was awarded the rank "Overlooker." She assumed it was just a title, comparable to bronze, silver, gold, or diamond in MOBAs.
But judging from this, it seems that the rank titles have other uses?
Putting that aside for now, all the players in the world channel, including Hailou's chat channel, were engaged in a lively discussion. Tao Sai focused on the Alliance channel.
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: Wow!!!
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: The rules are different from [Season 1]!
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: I don’t quite understand.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: This is to complete tasks. You can think of tasks as points. You get one point for completing each task. Finally, you are ranked based on the difficulty and number of tasks completed.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: I just don't know what tasks are included.
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: Then can we still team up? What if the tasks we refresh are different?
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: I think it should be possible. I actually feel that the game mechanism encourages players to team up. And even if we can't team up, the alliance's team effects won't work, we can still help each other.
[Cx330 (Lv4)]: Wait for the task to refresh
There's no point in guessing now, as there's only so much text information provided. It's better to wait for the task to be refreshed and then try it out to find out everything.
Tao Sai returned to the system homepage and opened the [Task] module.
In the current [Mission] module, there is only one main quest, called [Shelter], which is to shelter crew members and refugees every day. As long as the crew members and refugees survive normally on the ship, it counts. The quest rewards are settled every morning at 1 a.m., and you can get hundreds of gold coins and experience every day.
Apart from the main quest [Shelter], no other quests have been refreshed yet.
After waiting for a while and not seeing any refresh, Tao Sai suspected that the season's tasks were not the same as the system's [tasks], so she went back to the [S2 Season] interface to check.
The interface is different from before. There is a large blank space in the middle. The task should be refreshed here.
In the upper right corner of the interface, there's a small "Ranking" box. Clicking it reveals a table showing the rankings of all participating players. The vertical columns show the players' nicknames and rankings, while the horizontal columns show the number of completed missions of each star level and their total points. Since no one has yet completed any missions, the current ranking is based on the number of strokes in the first character of their nicknames. Tao Sai didn't see herself in the front row; the "C" must have been treated as a special character and placed after the Chinese characters. She was too lazy to move it to the end.
Next to the [Ranking] section was a [Mission Heat Map] box. Clicking it revealed a scalable Mercator projection of the world. Her current location was marked in the center of the map as a flashing green dot. However, there was no heat indicator on this map, presumably because the feature hadn't been enabled yet.
Tao Sai judged that the refreshed tasks were regional. Some areas might refresh a large number of tasks, while some areas might have no tasks at all.
When the time came to 12:30, Tao Sai's eyes suddenly lit up and subtitles popped up on the system panel.
Her first mission finally arrived.
[Task Description: Successfully plant a [vegetable]
Mission time: 27 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 57 seconds remaining
Mission Difficulty: ★
Mission Reward: [Blind Box x1]
【Please select [Accept] or [Reject]. 】
Tao Sai quickly read and understood the task. Her first task wasn't difficult; she only needed to plant a single vegetable, which she had four weeks to complete. Celery or bok choy would only take two or three weeks to mature, but Tao Sai thought that was too long. With Jia Hui by her side, her [Time Shift] skill allowed her to complete the planting in just ten minutes!
This task was too easy, so Tao Sai of course chose to accept it.
After accepting, the first planting task appeared in the list of the [Task] module.
Tao Sai opened the alliance channel and first told Shi Jiahui that it was too late today, and there would be more than enough time for her to come to the "Deep Sea Fish" tomorrow to help her grow some vegetables.
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: OK, Sister Sai, leave it to me.
[Cx330 (Lv4)]: What quest did you complete?
[Branch (Lv4)]: One-star, increases resistance value to 5 points
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: I already have 7 points of resistance now, so I finished it in seconds, hahahahahaha
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: The reward is a bit disappointing. You can get 200 gold coins by opening the [Blind Box]
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: Zhizhi, be content! This is a free mission!
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: My mission is to refill 50L of fresh water to the refugee ship, and I only have 6 hours! It's the middle of the night, I'm crying
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: A small problem. Set an alarm for 5 o'clock. When the alarm rings, take people up the mountain to fetch water.
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: No, I'll ask my dad and the others to go. I have to sleep until half past six to ensure I get enough sleep so I can do my morning exercises!
It seemed like the initial quests weren't difficult, easily accomplished. Furthermore, the types of quests seemed to be all related to personal development: planting, rehydrating, and improving resistance. Tao Sai suspected that all the quests would land on him, just in a random order.
If 5 points of resistance value can become a task threshold, Tao Sai feels that she can get several attribute value tasks for free, because her five major attributes are all quite high.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: I understand!!!
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: What do you understand?
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: This new season, isn't it all about delivering food? Wait for me for a moment, I'll sort out my thoughts.
A minute later, He Zhaonian spoke.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: Let me tell you, I worked as a food delivery driver during summer vacation. There are two types of food delivery: full-time delivery and part-time crowdsourcing. This season really has a lot in common with crowdsourcing delivery!
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: Simply put, missions are orders. Missions come in two flavors: System-assigned missions, which are the missions you just accepted. The other type of missions, when you open [Season 2]—see that previously blank page? Let's call it the Mission Hall! Missions are now available. Missions here are up for grabs! Be quick, get them!
Tao Sai immediately clicked on [Season S2], and just as He Zhaonian said, the originally large blank page now refreshed with several tasks.
All are one-star: Destroy the first-level insect aquarium, kill 100 protozoa, rescue [Wei Jun], give [Li Momo] 3 days of food, help [Hu Fei] repair the shelter, invite [Li Encai] to board the refugee ship...
After clicking on the task, the coordinates of the task will pop up; the task time varies, some are as long as a week, and some are as short as only an hour; the task rewards are all [reward blind boxes].
Tao Sai checked to see if there were any suitable missions. She wasn't in her current physical condition, so she decided to put it aside. Killing 100 bugs wasn't difficult. The coordinates given in the mission should be the nearest bug swarm, far away on the mainland, about 50 kilometers as the crow flies. The time limit was only one hour. It was too late today, and it was a bit dangerous. Tao Sai was hesitant to let Zhou Ning go, so she couldn't take the mission.
She clicked on the fourth task, which offered Li Momo three days' worth of food. The map indicated Li Momo was on Cricket Island, presumably a villager. This task was simple, and she had plenty of time—24 hours—so she could take it. She could just find time to send a commando team tomorrow morning.
Tao Sai clicked [Accept].
Subtitles popped up immediately in front of my eyes.
[A player has already accepted this quest before you.]
Tao Sai: “…”
Wow, you’re really slow.
The mission was snatched away. Tao Sai turned off the subtitles and prepared to grab it again, but was shocked to find that the mission hall was empty.
What about the mission!
Tao Sai looked sad. She refreshed the game several times but no new tasks appeared. She could only open the Alliance Channel in disappointment and continue watching He Zhaonian's popular science lectures.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv. 4)]: Have you noticed the [Mission Heat Map]? Most missions are regional. The map shows high heat values on land, but almost none on the ocean. The mission hall only refreshes missions in the vicinity. From what I've observed, the maximum range of missions that can be refreshed is 500 kilometers.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: I grabbed one, you guys should hurry up and grab it too, before the nearby players have reacted.
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: I got the chance to deliver food to Li Momo!
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: I invited Li Encai to join the ship. My hand was too fast and I didn't pay attention to the coordinates. This person seems to be on the mainland.
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: There are only 12 hours left. What will happen if I grab the mission but fail to complete it?
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: If it's takeaway food, if you grab it and don't deliver it, you'll be fined. I don't know about the game, but there must be a penalty. You'd better find a way to do it.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: Everyone, please read the mission carefully before grabbing it. We are not familiar with it at the beginning, so we should proceed step by step. After all, the season cycle is one month.
Tao Sai completely agreed with him. The season is still long. The [S2 Season] lasts for a month. Her body has not recovered yet, but she can catch up on the progress after her body recovers.
She spoke on the Alliance channel.
[Cx330 (Lv4)]: Oh, and one more thing. Don't accept any dangerous missions for now. We're in a dangerous situation now. If we're not completely out of danger, Jiange will easily target us. Let's stay together as much as possible. We should act together on risky missions. Don't accept missions that are too far away. Safety is the most important thing.
[Tang Sixi (Lv4)]: Good!
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: Received
[Zhizhi (Lv4)]: Sister Sai, please send someone to teleport me to the mainland tomorrow. I will pick up that guy called Li Encai, and then I will never take any more long-distance missions.
[Cx330 (Lv4)]: Yes, go and come back quickly
[Cx330 (Lv4)]: It's too late today. Let's do the task tomorrow. Everyone, have a good rest.
After speaking, Tao Sai felt a little thirsty, so he took a big sip from the water cup on the bedside table, then put himself into [Deep Sleep] mode and prepared to close his eyes and go to sleep.
Before going to bed, she logged into the system again. The task hall was basically blank. Occasionally, a task would pop up, but it would be quickly snatched up by others. After all, their current location was not in a hot spot, and there were too many people and too little resources. There was nothing they could do about it.
If she grabs the mission as soon as it appears, she may be able to get it, but she will not have time to read the mission details, and she may accidentally grab a dangerous and extremely difficult mission.
There's no need for that, just let it be.
Finally, Tao Sai took a look at the real-time rankings. The players on the first page had generally completed two tasks, while the player ranked first had actually completed four tasks in such a short time!
Tao Sai used his mind to forcefully control himself and close the panel. Out of sight, out of mind. No need to roll up, no need to roll up, just like a Buddha.
Close your eyes and sleep!
Just ten minutes after Tao Sai fell asleep, He Zhaonian spoke on the alliance channel.
[Three Feet of Life (Lv4)]: Are you all asleep? That "Mr. Bucai Youshan" has replied to me!
Guo Pei couldn't remember how long he had been in seclusion, probably about two weeks.
Two weeks ago, he equipped himself with the skill "Absolute Focus," which allowed him to focus on a single task as long as he had sufficient energy. With this skill, his brain could achieve absolute focus, completely undivided, solely on the task he had set.
The thing he set himself to focus on was: the hard-working skill [Execution].
[Execution - E-Rank]: This skill can be used to directly execute a target unit with less than 1% health. This skill consumes no energy. Each kill with this skill permanently increases the kill threshold, up to a maximum of 99%.
When Guo Pei drew this skill, he was shocked after reading the introduction of the skill over and over again.
This is a fucking E-level skill?!
Are you kidding me? With such a powerful killing skill, A-rank and S-rank aren't good enough!
He has played many games and is familiar with the concept of "killing". Killing ignores defense and resistance. As long as the target's health is lower than the killing line, it will be killed indiscriminately.
[Execution] is a growth-type skill, and the kill line can be increased to 99%!
What is the probability? Suppose you are a peerless master with an extremely strong body, and you have a full 100 drops of blood, but you accidentally fall. Although you only lost one drop of blood, you fell to the killing line of [Execution]. Once the skill is used, no matter how awesome you are, you will be killed without explanation.
After Guo Pei drew this skill, he laughed out loud and was extremely excited.
This is incredible, this is incredible, it takes off directly!
However, the key to the skill [Execution] is to increase the kill line. The current kill line is only 1%, which is not enough.
According to the skill description, you need to use [Execution] to deal the final fatal blow to the target unit in order to increase the kill line. This is similar to the concept of "last hit" in moba games. Use [Execution] to last hit.
Without further ado, he decided to start immediately and maximize his kill line as quickly as possible. He was mentally prepared. Improving the kill line would definitely not be that easy. After all, this skill was too abnormal. It was an E-level skill, so a lot of hard work was inevitable.
It’s not a big problem. He will work hard silently and surprise everyone in the end!
As for the target unit, Guo Pei thought about it and chose bugs because there were many of them and killing them could earn him gold coins and experience, which was killing two birds with one stone.
Guo Pei found a newly formed first-level insect hole, where insects were slowly crawling out of the cracks in the ground. Holding a military knife, he squatted down and stabbed hard, piercing the head of a juvenile insect.
The insect twisted its body and legs frantically, and the amplitude of its struggle gradually decreased. If there was a blood bar above the insect's head at this time, you should be able to see that its blood bar is constantly decreasing.
Guo Pei equipped himself with [Execution] and waited silently. Right now, the kill rate of [Execution] was too low, only 1%. He had to wait until the insect was on the verge of death before using the skill to make the final blow.
Five minutes later, the insect's struggle had almost stopped, its mouthparts were twitching slightly, and its body suddenly flashed. This was [Execution] reminding it that the target's health had dropped to the kill line, and [Execution] could ensure the kill.
Guo Pei immediately activated the skill [Execution], and a sword-shaped black mist slashed down swiftly, and the dying insect died instantly.
The kill was successful because Guo Pei did not feel any energy loss. The skill description clearly stated that a successful kill does not consume energy.
Cool! He took the first step in a long journey!
Guo Pei couldn't wait to open the system panel. He wanted to see how much killing a bug would increase the kill line so that he could have a rough idea.
When he saw the string of numbers in the skill introduction, he was stunned for a moment and repeatedly confirmed the number of digits after the decimal point. The current kill line was 1.000001%.
There were six digits after the decimal point, meaning that as long as he stabbed the insects like he had just done and waited until they were near death before completing the kill, killing about a million of them would successfully raise the kill line to 2%. To raise it to 99%, he only needed to kill 100 million insects.
Guo Pei: You @#￥￥%&￥……&￥! You deserve an E-level skill!
