Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1141: Accept the Mission

"Then that's fine. But I'd like to propose this. If Elder Master has anything I can help with, please tell me. Whatever I can help with, I'll do my best to help you. I'm Zheng-Fu, nice to meet you!"

Zheng-Fu really did not know that rule. But he did not want to cause trouble for the elder master by forcing him to accept the gift like he had done to others many times. And since he could not give anything to the master, he chose to offer help instead.

Umm!

"Since you are this generous, I'll accept it. My name's Hong-Hua-Zhen. I'm a Hong Clan member from Black Rock City!" The middle-aged man smiled and accepted Zheng-Fu's kindness in a friendly manner. He considered it not an item and did not violate the Hunter Guild's rules, so he did not reject Zheng-Fu twice.

"You're a member of the Hong Clan from Black Rock City!?" Zheng-Fu was slightly shocked when he heard that. Because he was thinking of visiting the Hong Clan after hunting. He would go to negotiate with the Hong Clan to ask them to join his plan. However, he had never expected to meet a Hong Clan person so quickly. Moreover, the middle-aged man was also friendly.

"Yes! Is Little Comrade also from Black Rock City? But why am I not familiar with your face? What clan are you from?" Hong-Hua-Zhen looked slightly startled when he heard Zheng-Fu's words. But he didn't dwell on it, thinking that it was probably not unusual for a young man like Zheng-Fu to reside in the city even if he had never seen him before.

"Elder Master Hong, I'm not from Black Rock City. I just stopped by Black Rock City and learned a little bit about the four major clans. Please forgive my bad manners!" Zheng-Fu still could not reveal the fact that he was with the Lin Clan at that time. So, he had to answer evasively for now.

Umm!

"It's exactly like this. Then I won't disturb you. Please feel free to do whatever you want. And if you'd like to accept a mission, try looking at the board over there. Or if you want to relax, go to Hunter Tavern. Hunters also receive discounts on their stays there. Moreover, you'll get a room that's better than the average room." Even though he heard that Zheng-Fu was not from Black Rock City, he did not ask further and let Zheng-Fu do whatever activities he pleased.

Thank you, Elder Master Hong!

After Hong-Hua-Zhen left, Zheng-Fu got up and walked over to the mission board to see if there were any interesting missions. And he found that most of the simple One-Star Missions had been taken out. All that was left were yellow and red missions. As for the Two-Star Missions, there was almost no difference. The green missions were all gone, leaving only yellow and red ones.

"Looks like I have to accept the yellow or red mission!" Zheng-Fu was not in a hurry to choose a mission beyond his level. Because he did not come there to increase his energy level. He came to find a way to enter the guild and make a profit for himself. But since there were no more green missions left, he had to accept either the yellow or red mission.

[Yellow One-Star Mission: Kill two advanced Deity Apprentice Stage Purple Leaf Snake Monster Beasts and bring back their remains to confirm the mission at the guild.

Reward: Thirty performance scores or thirty thousand Eternal Coins]

[Yellow One-Star Mission: Collect two high-level Blue Night Honey Herb Plants.

Reward: Forty performance scores or forty thousand Eternal Coins]

[Red One-Star Mission: Kill a Fierce Red Eagle Monster Beast and bring back its heart and liver to confirm the mission at the guild. If the hunter can complete more than the required amount of work, he or she will receive an additional reward.

Reward: [Eighty performance scores or eighty thousand Eternal Coins]

[Red One-Star Mission: Kill an initial Heavenly Deity Originate Stage Lightning Lion Monster Beast and bring back its core to confirm the mission at the guild. But if the hunter can bring back its remains that are at least eighty percent intact, the reward will be doubled.

Reward: One hundred performance scores or one hundred thousand Eternal Coins]

"It seems that One-Star Mission is not very difficult. Most of them are suitable for the Deity Apprentice Stage cultivator up to the initial Heavenly Deity Originate Stage cultivator. Then I'll skip to Two-Star Mission and Three-Star Mission!" Zheng-Fu looked at the remaining One-Star Mission and found that those of them were too easy for him. Moreover, the performance scores that hunters would receive were not very high. So, he looked for a more difficult mission.

[Green Two-Star Mission: Defeat a horde of intermediate Heavenly Deity Originate Stage Gray-haired Crazy Monkey at Liang Rainforest.

Reward: One hundred and twenty performance scores or one hundred and twenty thousand Eternal Coins]

[Yellow Two-Star Mission: Kill the...

Award: ...]

[Red Two-Star Mission: Find herbs…

Award: ...]

Zheng-Fu took a moment to check for a suitable mission. But no matter how he looked, he still could not find a Two-Star Mission or a Three-Star Mission he liked. Because the area for One-Star Missions to Three-Star Missions, as far as he could see, was an outer forest with the highest-level monster beasts just at the initial Genuine Deity Stage.

"It seems like I have to look for missions from four-star and above, right?"

Since missions lower than the three-star were unsatisfactory, Zheng-Fu turned his attention to the Four-Star Mission on another nearby board.

Hunters allowed to accept missions above four-star level must have been three-star hunters or higher. In case the hunters below three-star rank wanted to undertake the missions at those levels, they must have paid the mission insurance fee to the guild. And they would be refunded when they succeeded. But if the mission failed, that insurance fee would be confiscated. However, the rewards for those who succeeded were very worthwhile.

[Green Four-Star Mission: Collect Cliff Rock Ore at Earth Abyss. Cliff Rock Ore is obtained from Cliff Rock Monster Beasts, which are the initial Genuine Deity Stage monster beasts. Their bodies have Cliff Rock Ore attached to them. Bring back thirty kilograms of Cliff Rock Ore to confirm the mission.

Reward: One thousand and seven hundred performance scores or one million and seven hundred thousand Eternal Coins]

[Yellow Four-Star Mission: Find herbs…

Award: ...]

[Red Four-Star Mission: Collect two bunches of the advanced Genuine Deity Stage Monster Beast's entrails...

Award: ...]

[Yellow Five-Star Mission: Collect the bones and skins of two Dragon Scale Iron Ox Monster Beasts...

Award: ...]

[Red Five-Star Mission: Inspect the Blood Tomb and eliminate all demon monsters in the tomb. The location of the tomb is within the Sun Moon Forest. The exact location can be obtained from the registration staff.

Reward: One hundred thousand performance scores and two Immortal Level Deity Qi energy-boosting pills]

Umm!

"This mission isn't bad at all. Or is it a mission that those people talk about?"

Zheng-Fu took a while before coming across a mission that interested him. It was Red Five-Star Mission whose mission sheet looked older than the others. Zheng-Fu thought it was a mission he heard from the hunters' conversation.

Blop!

Ah!

"Look! Someone dared to choose that hell mission!"

Hah!?

"What!? Has someone chosen to do that hell mission!? Who is he? What level of hunter is he, four-star or five-star?"

"Isn't he a new hunter who just applied?"

Just applied!?

"So, you mean he's a one-star hunter?"

One-star hunter!?

An uproar and chaos immediately broke out in the Hunter Guild Hall. Because all the hunters knew the horror and danger of that mission. Even the six-star hunter's team did not dare to touch it. But that one-star hunter dared to do it.

"Hey, comrade! I think you should think carefully again. Do you know how dangerous this mission is? And from what I know, this mission has been upgraded to the Red Six-Star Mission!"

"True! I think you should choose another mission. Even though you may want to try taking on a high-level mission, I think you should prioritize preserving your life!"

Suddenly, two hunters walked up and stopped Zheng-Fu with worried expressions on their faces. They did not pretend to say that to Zheng-Fu at all. Even though warning Zheng-Fu might not have any effect, they still wanted to warn him.

"Thank you very much, Masters! But I've made up my mind. I'll do this mission. If I die, just consider it my arrogance and stupidity!" Zheng-Fu thanked the two older hunters very politely.

Hah!

"If you have already made up your mind, I won't oppose it. Then let me treat you to some liquor today. And when you come back, you treat me to some liquor in return. Is that good?" The middle-aged hunter with a large body and thick beard could only shake his head. But he liked Zheng-Fu's boldness. So, he asked to treat Zheng-Fu to some liquor.

"Of course, Elder Brother! If I survive and complete my mission, I'll definitely treat you and everyone here to some liquor!" Zheng-Fu saw that this middle-aged hunter was sincere and did not pretend, so he answered honestly. And he concluded that the man was a person worth associating with.

Excellent!

After Zheng-Fu finished drinking the liquor with the two hunters who came to talk to him, he brought the mission sheet to the center table to confirm his acceptance of the mission.

"I want to do this mission. Please register for me!"

"You have thought this through carefully, right? This mission is very dangerous. You heard what everyone said," the mission registration clerk asked Zheng-Fu. Because he thought that Zheng-Fu was just making a rash decision.

"I've made up my mind. And I won't change it," Zheng-Fu answered and nodded firmly, showing no signs of changing his mind.

Sigh!

"Then I'll register the mission for you as you wish. But you already know our rules about accepting missions above your rank, right?" The staff could not help but let out a long sigh. Seeing that Zheng-Fu had already made up his mind, he could do nothing but carry out his duties. But before registering, Zheng-Fu had to comply with the guild's rules by paying the insurance fee.

No problem!

Not long after, Zheng-Fu left the Hunter Guild. And right then, the mission he accepted was no longer the Red Five-Star Mission, but the Red Six-Star Mission according to that hunter's words. Because the guild had once again verified that the mission was so difficult and had many dangers that they were not yet aware of. So, they had to reclassify it as Red Six-Star Mission.

However, in addition to its level being higher, its rewards also increased. Previously, the successful hunter would receive one hundred thousand performance scores; it had been increased to five hundred thousand performance scores, and they would also receive five Initial Heavenly Deity Qi energy-boosting pills. That was considered to be a multifold increase in rewards.

"I'll have to stay here today. Tomorrow morning, I'll go to that tomb!"

By that time, the sky was already dark, so Zheng-Fu chose to stay there first. He would then enter Sun Moon Forest and go to the tomb, which was the target location of his mission the next day.
