Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Ling Lan had no choice but to cut to the chase and say, "City Lord Luo Yixuan, I'm here to accept the mission of establishing a battle clan. Let's not beat around the bush and waste each other's time."
Hearing Ling Lan call out his name, City Lord Luo Yixuan knew that he had definitely been seen through by the other. To outsiders, his information was that of the city lord of Grandsweep City, so his name would not be displayed. It was very likely that the other had found a hint of his identity elsewhere. This also meant that he could not refuse to give the mission of establishing a battle clan.
However, he also did not want to let this arrogant and impolite brat off so easily. With a flash of inspiration, he took out a large roulette wheel and said coldly, "I can give you the mission, but whether or not you can accept it will depend on your own luck."
Ling Lan saw that familiar roulette wheel again, but it was no longer labelled with various mecha, but with the mission options for establishing a battle clan. More than half of them were 'fail', so she knew that this was definitely City Lord Luo Yixuan's handiwork. She recalled the two times she had gotten the rabbit mecha, and could not help but feel guilty. What if her luck was not good...
Ling Lan was not worried about getting 'fail', because if she failed, she could continue to accept missions after a week. She glanced at the shocking SSS-rank mission on the roulette wheel, and could not help but gulp. Hells, if she got this, it would definitely be worse than failure. As far as she knew, no one had ever completed an SSS-rank mission before... she did not want to spend her whole life on this mission.
"What? If you're afraid, you can choose to give up and come back next week, "said City Lord Luo Yixuan coldly, his arms crossed.
Hells, her luck could not possibly be this bad all the time! Ling Lan would not choose to give up voluntarily. She decisively pressed the handle of the roulette wheel, and the roulette wheel began to spin rapidly. Ling Lan pursed her lips, praying in her heart that it would not really be an SSS-rank mission... the roulette wheel finally stopped spinning.
Ling Lan's first reaction was to look at her own hands. Her hands were clearly so fair and tender, so why was her luck so bad? She even began to hate herself for thinking about SSS-rank missions when she was spinning. Didn't she know that the more she did not want something, the more it would give her?
Ling Lan wanted to cry but had no tears. She could not help but raise her head and sigh. Reality proved that the roulette wheel was indeed her nemesis. In the end, the roulette wheel Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Finally, Ling Ling Lan's first thought, should she give up and come back next week?
However, before Ling Lan could make her choice, she saw the city lord, who was similarly stunned by this result, quickly come to his senses. With a sinister laugh, he pulled out a token from his pocket and tossed it into Ling Lan's arms, and then... fled.
Listening to the city lord's gloating laughter that had yet to fade, Ling Lan stared speechlessly at the mission token in her hands, the veins on her forehead twitching uncontrollably... no matter how much the city lord disliked her, he should not have been so irresponsible as to throw down the mission token and run off! At the very least, there should have been a mission introduction and some useful suggestions, right? What an extremely irresponsible NPC! Ling Lan decided that she was going to lodge a complaint against this city lord of Grandsweep City. As an NPC, he should not be so shameless.
Left with no other choice, Ling Lan could only flip through the information on the token herself. She had just straightened out the token when a section of information flashed across the mecha's screen.
"Mission to establish a battle clan. Mission Grade: SSS-rank. Mission Details: One month ago, the Swift Dragon Fleet stationed at the Nebula Boundary sent an extremely well-hidden distress signal. As the signal was too brief, the Federation military was unable to confirm whether it was a mistake or genuine. Although an investigation team was sent over to investigate, they did not find anything unusual. Even though everything appeared normal, the Federation military did not fully believe it. They have decided to secretly send a civilian adventurer team to the Nebula Boundary to investigate and find out what this distress signal was for. Upon completion of the mission, the Federation will officially confer the civilian adventurer team as an official battle clan of the military. At the same time, they will enjoy the same level of treatment as the military... "
"It really is an SSS-rank mission. How troublesome." Ling Lan saw the mission's introduction, and her mood soured. This mission was not simple. Firstly, the people they needed to make contact with were unclear. Secondly, the situation at the Nebula Boundary was unclear. Thirdly, as civilian adventurers, entering a place under the control of the Federation military... that was absolutely courting death. Even a casual spit from someone in a fleet could drown their entire team.
Furthermore, how were they going to get to the Nebula Boundary in secret? This was also an extremely difficult task. In short, this mission had been difficult from the very beginning. The further they went, the more difficult it became. Furthermore, Ling Lan did not believe that the military had really only sent their team. It was very likely that while they were on the move, the military had also sent an investigation team to secretly infiltrate the Nebula Boundary to investigate. In the end, they were just targets to attract the attention of the Nebula Boundary garrison.
"Perhaps, giving up is better for us." Ling Lan believed that with the current strength of the team, this mission was definitely impossible to complete.
Ling Lan was not a blindly confident person. When the difficulty of the mission was vastly different from the strength of the team, Ling Lan calmly chose to give up. This was because she did not want to bring her companions into danger, even in the game. Although death in the game was not real death, Ling Lan was afraid that she would develop an adventurous personality because of this. This type of personality was not desirable, as it could very well harm everyone in real life. Ling Lan was constantly on guard.
Having made her decision, Ling Lan did not even think before throwing the token onto the ground. In Mecha World, whether it was equipment, resources, potions, or materials, as long as they were thrown to a location, they would be refreshed when the time was up. It was the same for the mission token. As long as one chose to throw it away, the mainframe would judge the mission as a failure... and then one week later, a new mission could be accepted. Of course, if it failed, the person who accepted the mission would have to pay a price. Ling Lan felt that this was worth it compared to taking a risk and sacrificing innocent lives.
However, what happened next showed that Ling Lan's calculations were wrong. When Ling Lan chose to throw it away, the system actually notified her that the mission was already bound and could not be abandoned... in other words, the mission she had received was a death order that could not be rejected.
Seeing this notification, seated in the cockpit, Ling Lan could not help but point a middle finger at the screen. D * mmit, mainframe, you're really too shameless!
However, since it was already a fact, Ling Lan was not discouraged or flustered. She decided to go back and discuss with her companions how to complete this mission.
Ling Lan quickly returned the way she had come, teleporting back to the gates of the city lord's manor. Outside the manor, Ling Lan once again reverted to her intermediate mecha form. When Zilong and the others saw their boss appear, they excitedly asked Ling Lan if she had received a mission.
Ling Lan did not answer, instead asking them to find a quiet place. Only then did she share the mission information with them. Everyone fell silent when they saw the contents.
Ling Lan smiled wryly. It looked like this mission had still shocked her companions. She was just about to open her mouth to explain when she heard Zilong howl excitedly, "Boss, you're really too awesome! You actually received an SSS-rank mission that hasn't appeared in hundreds of years! Sure enough, following Boss will give us awesome things to do..."
"Yeah, who would have thought that we would be able to do something so exciting again so soon?" Xie Yi was also very excited.
"I was just thinking that Boss might give us an extremely difficult mission. Who would have thought that Boss would give us an SSS-rank mission right off the bat? My courage is still not as good as Boss's," said Han Jijun with a sigh.
Han Jijun had always set his highest goal as figuring out what Ling Lan was thinking, but reality proved that he had still failed this time. Boss was even more ruthless than he had imagined, but this was their boss, always doing what others did not dare to do. Han Jijun did not know that this mission had been forcefully thrown at Ling Lan's head, and that Ling Lan had not asked for it of her own accord.
"In any case, whatever Boss decides, I'll do." Luo Lang had no opinion at all; he had long decided to follow Boss unswervingly.
"If it's a mission of this level, then the resources I prepared previously will be lacking. I'll have to replenish them as soon as possible." Right then, Lin Zhong-qing was already thinking about how he could make up for it, not having any thoughts about this level of mission at all.
Ling Lan looked at this bunch of daring people, and black lines instantly appeared on her forehead. Fine, she had forgotten that none of her companions were normal. Earlier, she had thought that they had all been scared out of their wits; it was definitely her brain that had short-circuited for her to think that way.
Ling Lan turned to look at the other three silent people, thinking that these three should have been shocked... after all, abnormal companions like her were still in the minority.
Thus, Ling Lan opened her mouth to say to [No Mecha Unrepaired], "[No Mecha Unrepaired], this mission is unexpectedly difficult. You can reconsider the matter of inviting you to join the battle clan." [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s relationship with them was, after all, average. If by any chance they were unable to complete the mission, Ling Lan did not want to drag [No Mecha Unrepaired] down with them.
"No, I want to join the battle clan, and I also want to go with you all..." Hearing Ling Lan's words, [No Mecha Unrepaired] hurriedly replied excitedly. "I was just excited just now. I actually have a chance to take part in an SSS-rank mission. This is too unbelievable." [No Mecha Unrepaired]'s voice was actually filled with a trace of dreaminess.
"An SSS-rank mission that is hard to come by in a hundred years... there is indeed a need for experience. Besides, I believe that you all need my healing abilities even more." [Priceless Kinship] had changed from his usual indifference, becoming incomparably enthusiastic. It could be seen that SSS-rank missions were similarly infinitely attractive to him.
Ling Lan's lips could not help but twitch. Hells, what kind of team members were these? Each one was more abnormal than the last, actually so eager to take on missions that normal people would not even want to touch... she could not help but look at [Self-Defined Destiny]. Her leopard should be more like a normal person, right...
Li Lanfeng rubbed his chin and asked with interest, "Say, do you all think that after completing this mission, the reward we get will also be at legendary level?"
"Legendary level?" Everyone sucked in a sharp breath... Ling Lan could almost hear the endless dripping of saliva in the mecha comms channel.
Ling Lan stared speechlessly at the sky. As expected, she could not place high hopes on her team members. Team members who were not led by normal people (transvestites) could not possibly be normal...
