Ke Lin still remembers it clearly. She had treated the person in front of her differently. Was it just because the other person was an A-level mental strength martial artist?
Lin Yiran smiled slightly, her fingers twitched, and the long, rectangular brooch in front of the waiter slowly rose up, eventually resting against the man's neck.
"Please pick up your things, thank you!"
The waitress across from her, Reina, was also a young girl, but she seemed to have a bad temper and spoke very rudely. Lin Yiran didn't tolerate her; someone had to teach her how to speak properly, and it was a fact that she didn't respect her.
So she used her supernatural power to press the tip of the brooch against the woman's throat and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but this is none of your business. Now, please pick up my brooch and hand it to me with both hands. I want to receive the same treatment as that person."
The little girl was furious, but with her fate in someone's hands, she was powerless and could only do as she was told, her face turning ashen.
Lin Yiran took the badge and turned to leave. She hated people who were rude and self-righteous.
They keep talking about life and death; that shows they have no manners.
After taking the badge and leaving, Lin Yiran didn't rush off. She was originally supposed to take another mental strength test, but since she lacked mental strength, it was unnecessary. She then went directly through a small door to the central square where missions were accepted.
In the center of the square, there was a large screen that was over ten meters high. Below the screen, there were many fully dressed mercenaries accepting missions and occasionally looking up to see if any new missions had appeared.
Lin Yiran stopped to look as well. She saw various levels of tasks scrolling across the large screen, organized into sections. There was a clear distinction between S-level and D-level tasks. S-level tasks were on the left, occupying only a small section—almost invisible unless you looked closely—and the task window didn't scroll. This indicated that S-level tasks were relatively rare; there were only a handful, and whoever accepted one got it. Lin Yiran observed for a moment and found that no one was accepting any S-level tasks.
Most people and small teams come to accept B-level or A-level missions. Small teams of twenty people tend to accept more B-level missions, while teams of more than twenty people tend to accept more A-level missions. As for those S-level missions that don't keep rolling, no one has accepted them after watching for so long.
Lin Yiran ignored all of that and instead focused on how much profit those tasks could bring, that is, how many star coins they could be exchanged for.
Let's start with level B.
[Tier 3 Abnormal Vine Core *1, Price: 150,000 Star Coins]
[3 Tier 2 Spirit Beauty Grass Roots, Price: 50,000 Star Coins]
[8 Tier 1 Medicinal Winnowing Grass Plants, Price: 50,000 Star Coins]
[3 Tier 3 Thunderwood Fruits, Price: 650,000 Star Coins]
[Tier 4 Fire Spirit Grass Plant *1, Price: 200,000 Star Coins]
[30 Tier 1 Dragon Blood Grass plants, priced at 50,000 Star Coins]
……………………
Apart from the quest forest containing the Tier 3 Thunderwood Fruit, which she still had her eye on, she didn't want to look at the others at all. The prices were too low, and the plant growing locations were too scattered, making it too much of a hassle to travel back and forth.
As for why she didn't like the character with the fourth-tier Fire Spirit Grass? One plant is worth 200,000 Star Coins! Lin Yiran: She had seen it in the "Interstellar Plant Encyclopedia" given to her by the system before. The Fire Spirit Grass has a rather harsh growing environment; it grows in a swamp, surrounded by swamps, with the grass growing in the middle. Seeing this difficult environment immediately made Lin Yiran want to give up; she didn't want to wade through a swamp.
The main problem is that she doesn't have a flying car and can't fly over there.
There are quite a few mutated plants and animals in the water, so you'll be at a disadvantage.
So, after considering all the options, this fourth-tier Thunderwood Fruit mission was the only one among the B-level missions that suited her taste. The three fruits were worth a total of 650,000 star coins, but a tree could produce more than three fruits, and she could trade or auction off the remaining fruits, making it quite a good deal.
Maybe a single tree can cover the renovation costs and rent.
However, Lin Yiran currently has a lot of popularity points in the system, with fifty-six popularity points remaining. Therefore, she wants to challenge herself with a more difficult task to earn more money to buy medicine for Senran.
So she looked directly at the S-rank mission section.
[Tier 6 Earth-Drilling Vine Seed *1, Price: 1.5 Million Star Coins]
[One Tier 5 Black Nightshade Plant, Price: 1.2 Million Star Coins]
[Two Tier 5 Banana Trees, Price: Two Million Star Coins]
[Two Tier 6 Pine and Camphor Tree Cores, Price: Three Million Star Coins!]
Wait a minute? This last task caught Lin Yiran's attention. It seemed pretty good. After briefly browsing the remaining S-rank tasks, Lin Yiran decided to accept this one: the core of a sixth-tier camphor tree!
It's relatively easy to get. She studied it for a bit, and the basic skill of the pine and camphor tree is that the pine needles can be used as hidden weapons. If you anger it, it can prick you into a hedgehog. That's all. It's low in danger, high in price, and there aren't any extra vines coming to entangle her. Okay, this is it!
Lin Yiran then took her identity card to the self-service operation center in front of her, clicked on the S-level mission, and chose to receive the S-level mission. She also picked up the B-level mission, Lei Muguo, while she was at it, so she could earn a little more money.
After making her choice, she was about to leave gracefully when she turned around and saw that everyone who had been looking at the screen was now staring intently at her.
Lin Yiran was puzzled, and as if sensing something, she looked towards the scrolling screen.
On the giant screen, several meters high, a line of text appeared: Congratulations, Miss Lin, on accepting an S-level mission! Fireworks.
Rank: Level 1 Mercenary.
Physical fitness: Unknown
Mental strength level: Unknown
Have you ever worked in a team? No.
Have you had any combat experience? No.
Individual mercenary combat power ranking: No.
………………
A string of negatives, and the final individual combat power ranking, all clearly indicate that Lin Yiran is a newcomer! A newcomer who couldn't be more innocent!
"Wow, where did this newbie come from who's so fierce? He's never participated in anything before, yet he dares to take on an S-rank mission? And all by himself, without even joining a team!"
"It seems to be a girl, right? She's not even wearing a combat uniform. Where did this poor person come from to sneak into the mercenary service center? Does she think this mercenary guild is a joke?"
"I feel like she's thinking of committing suicide. Maybe if she fails the mission, she can get a large sum of compensation for her family!"
"Nonsense! The guild members aren't stupid. They'll definitely do an assessment in this situation. If she didn't have the skills but still accepted the mission, the mercenary guild won't give her family any compensation!"
“We’ll give her, but in her case, we’ll give her very little.”
