In the lobby on the first floor of the Super Gods Building.
The lobby was where the guilds issued missions.
After nearly a hundred years of development in the psionic era, a fairly mature and stable order had been formed.
With each base city as a unit, the Awakened Association of each city was responsible for maintaining the safety of the base city. The president of the association had an official status. Generally, they were the commanders and deputy commanders of the major military regions. They were also the biggest bosses in the base city. Their authority was not just an empty title. It also came from the large number of Awakened experts in the military. This was a power that no major guild could compete with.
The presidents of the large and small guilds in the base city would enter the Awakened Association and serve as vice presidents, standing committee members, committee members, and other positions.
This kind of organizational structure was also known as the Hua Xia -style Awakened organization system with "public forces as the main force and multiple forces of ownership developing together."
This model was very stable. In the psionic era, Hua Xia had become the safest and most livable country in the world. This system was indispensable. Other countries also wanted to try to learn this system, but there were very few successful ones. Most of them were like dogs.
The military built bunker outposts along the main roads all over the country to monitor the breeding of mutant beasts and the inadvertent invasion of spirit world creatures.
Once a group of mutant beasts and spirit world creatures gathered to a certain extent, feedback would be generated and submitted to the Awakened Association.
The Awakened Association would create missions based on this information.
Some of the missions would be handed over to the various guilds in the association to complete. This was the same nature as the road clearing work in spring and autumn, but the scope was not limited to 20 kilometers along the road. Moreover, there were missions all year round, not a surprise cleaning operation that lasted one or two months.
The missions assigned to each guild would be sent to the mission hall of their own guild, and the guild's Awakened could freely choose to complete them.
This was the order of the awakened world in the psionic era in Hua Xia. Perhaps there were some disadvantages, but there was no doubt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. For ordinary Awakened, they would not go into the wilderness without knowing anything. They would save a lot of time and energy searching for monster groups. They could also choose a mission that was suitable for them based on the information, making it twice the result with half the effort.
This time, Bai Xiaowen went to the wilderness and informed Li Beihai in advance.
The layout of the hall was very simple. It was similar to a bar, but of course, it was not noisy.
The place to accept missions was at the bar counter, and there was a receptionist girl sitting behind it. One by one, the Awakened Super Gods sat in the hall, either drinking or chatting in low voices. Most of them were waiting for their friends to come over so that they could take on missions and venture into the wilderness together.
"Hi, Xiao Bai, here …"
The moment Bai Xiaowen entered the hall, the old demon sitting in the corner raised his hand to greet him. Then, the old demon stood up and walked over.
Beside the old demon's table, there were two other people who looked familiar. Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and remembered the two of them.
One of them was Hou Zihua, a member of the Super Gods' main team, a marksman nicknamed "Monkey". The other was not part of the main team, but he had also participated in the spring road clearing activities. He could be considered one of the more active Awakened in the guild.
Hou Zihua also saw Bai Xiaowen and nodded to each other as a greeting.
The old monster had already walked up to Bai Xiaowen. "You're going to the wilderness, right? The guild leader talked to me on the phone. "
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. "I'm just going to the wilderness for a stroll. Why is the guild leader so nervous?"
The old monster shook his head. "It's only been a while since the assassination. It's reasonable for the guild leader to be cautious. I'll accompany you this time. If there's any danger, we can still escape. "
The old monster was being honest. In terms of combat power, he was no match for Bai Xiaowen. However, in terms of escaping, he had a powerful three-star group stealth skill, Refractive Light Fortress. In addition, he and Bai Xiaowen could use their mental power to block perception. Their escape ability could be said to be quite strong.
"You're making a mountain out of a molehill …" Bai Xiaowen smiled bitterly. "It's a waste of your time …"
The old monster shook his head. "There's nothing to waste. I have nothing to do anyway. I can even get guild contribution points if I make a trip … Well, let's not talk about anything else. Let's pick a mission."
As they spoke, the two had already walked to the bar counter.
The receptionist smiled sweetly. "Hello, may I ask what kind of mission you're looking for? Please tell me the keywords so that I can search for them. "
In addition to the receptionist's computer, there was also a lit monitor on the bar counter.
Bai Xiaowen thought for a moment and said, "I need a mission with more monsters. As for the difficulty … it doesn't matter. It's best if it's below Level 6 …"
The receptionist quickly typed out the keywords "group," "≤ 6," and so on. Suddenly, a series of missions appeared on the bar counter's monitor.
"Abandoned Village: Monster type is Mutated Dog. Average level is around Level 3. No Commander tier monsters are confirmed. Number of monsters is about 30 to 50. Danger Assessment: 26. Guild contribution points awarded: 130. Minimum level requirement for solo missions: Level 6 (Standard Class)/Level 4 (Elite Class)/Level 3 (Hero Class). Level requirement can be lowered when in a team. "
"Viper Valley: Monster type is Mutated Viper. Average level is 1. No Commander tier monsters are confirmed. Number of monsters is over 200. Danger Assessment: 30. Guild contribution points awarded: 150. Minimum level requirement for solo missions: Level 6 (Standard Class)/Level 4 (Elite Class)/Level 3 (Hero Class). Level requirement can be lowered when in a team. "
"Sharp Fanged Quagmire: Monster type is Murlocs (Spiritual World Creatures). Average level is 3. No Commander tier monsters are confirmed. Number of monsters is over 50. Danger Assessment: 45. Guild contribution points awarded: 280. Minimum level requirement for solo missions: Level 8 (Standard Class)/Level 6 (Elite Class)/Level 4 (Hero Class). Level requirement can be lowered when in a team. "
"Battering Plains …"
Looking at the long list of missions, Bai Xiaowen thought to himself, "It's so convenient to have a guild."
"Let's choose this one. Viper Valley," Bai Xiaowen said.
"Are you sure?" Old Demon asked. "These small Mutated Vipers are not easy to deal with. Don't underestimate them just because their average level is only Level 1 … Their small size means that when you're surrounded, many of them can jump and bite you at the same time. Not to mention there's poison damage …"
"Don't worry, I'm sure," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. He was interested in their large numbers and small size …
"Okay then …" Old Demon nodded. "Anyway, the guild leader said that you're in charge. Just like last time, I won't do anything unless there's a particularly dangerous situation … "
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "My car is outside. It's all packed. Let's go. "
After choosing the Viper Valley mission, Little Sis put a tick on the mission the day before yesterday and filled in Bai Xiaowen and Meng Gui's names at the back.
The two of them walked out of the Super Gods building.
"Wait a minute …" Bai Xiaowen suddenly stopped Old Demon.
"What's wrong?" Old Demon was a little confused.
Bai Xiaowen walked a few steps along the wall of the building and laughed softly. "You were sitting here just now, right? With Hou Zihua? "
Old Demon nodded and lowered his voice. "That's right, and Tan Li … What's wrong?"
"Uncle Old Demon, you also specialize in mental strength. Can you hear what they're talking about from here?" Bai Xiaowen said.
With Bai Xiaowen's mental strength, he could clearly hear the conversation between Hou Zihua and Tan Li, who were only five meters away and one wall away.
"Our guild is going to be named Bai, right? What do you think, Old Tan? "It was Hou Zihua's voice.
"Heh, who says it's not? Why don't you take a look? Even the old demon is rushing over to hug his thigh … "
Hou Zihua: "Sigh … Old Demon is being too obvious. He's the main force of the guild. How can he be so servile to a newbie?"
"Sucking up to the guild leader's son-in-law is the same as sucking up to the guild leader … Actually, Old Demon is a standard class. The reason why he can stay in the main force is because he's close to the guild leader. He usually looks like a harmless old man, but he's very scheming … "
Hou Zihua smiled and said, "Old Tan, don't worry. Old Demon is in his thirties this year. He's almost there! When he retires, won't it be your chance? "
The hunter named Tan Li snorted, "It should've been me. No matter what, I'm still an elite class …"
Bai Xiaowen, who was eavesdropping, shook his head when he heard this. He sighed.
"Where there are people, there will be people …"
Old Demon patted Bai Xiaowen's shoulder.
"What are you still listening for? Let's go."
Bai Xiaowen was slightly startled, "Didn't you use your mental strength to listen? What these two guys are saying is unpleasant … "
Old Demon smiled and said, "I know it's unpleasant. Why should I bother listening?"
The two got into the off-road vehicle one after the other.
Bai Xiaowen started the car and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Old Demon, is Hou Zihua not on good terms with you?"
"It's passable …" Old Demon sat in the passenger seat and said while buckling his seat belt, "I'm a few years older and look older. A few people in the team call me Big Brother …"
"Tsk, this person is really hypocritical," Bai Xiaowen said with a shrug, "I can't get along with this kind of person. As a hunter with a mental strength specialty, don't you usually notice it? I don't believe it. "
Old Demon thought for a moment, "I kind of feel it. But it's meaningless. I won't waste my energy to eavesdrop on what they say in private … I'll just take it lightly. "
"Uncle Old Demon, your awareness … It's barbaric, but I can't learn it," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "If my teammates slander me behind my back … I won't bring him along. I'll just tell the management directly. It's either him or me … If worst comes to worst, I'll just leave. I don't want to play together and have to cooperate with the team. It's not good!"
Old Demon also laughed, "You're a young man. Why are you learning from me? After a decade or so, your edges and corners will be smoothed out. Maybe you'll get over it … Well, that's not necessarily true. You're too demonic. Everyone has to follow you. I'm afraid it's hard to smooth out your edges and corners. "
"Uncle, you're wrong. Isn't the root of people becoming strong to make others follow them? Hahahaha … "
Amidst the laughter, the off-road vehicle headed south toward Viper Valley.
…
Following the map guidance on the mission, Bai Xiaowen finally found Viper Valley after some twists and turns.
The main reason was that it was quite far from the main road. The off-road vehicle had to bump in the wilderness for more than an hour to reach it. Of course, this bit of bumping was nothing to an Awakened.
"Longitude … latitude … Yes, it's here," Bai Xiaowen got out of the vehicle.
"Don't worry about the longitude and latitude. Just look ahead and you'll know." Old Demon pouted.
The two of them were at the entrance of the valley. In the low shrubs, a snake as thick as an adult's finger was slithering.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at his left wrist. The smiling face on it made his heart calm down. He then used his insight on the snake.
[Desert Rattlesnake (Normal Level 1)]
[Race: Wild Beast/Terrestrial Beast]
[Attributes: Strength 1, Agility 5, Physique 1, Spirit 1]
[Skill 1: Venomous Bite: The Rattlesnake bites the target and continuously injects hemolytic toxins. Each stack of poison will cause 1% damage (considered as poison damage). The poison stacks up to a maximum of 5 stacks.]
[Skill 2: Catapult: The Rattlesnake's thick and powerful tail hits the ground and catapults towards the target enemy. The catapult speed is 200% of the Rattlesnake's maximum movement speed.]
"Oh, it's actually a percentage damage from poison. Amazing."
Bai Xiaowen rubbed his chin. He originally thought that the Butcher could just use Rotten to deal with these Level 1 normal monsters. But now … the number of snakes increased. It was possible that they might not be able to handle it.
Old Demon said, "The basic attributes of these mutated snakes are very poor, so their skills are stronger than normal monsters. Otherwise, they would be the same as mutated cockroaches and rats. They can only survive in the buffer zone and have no way of establishing themselves in the wilderness."
"Mutated snake?" Bai Xiaowen was a little puzzled. "I saw the name. It's called Desert Rattlesnake."
"Huh?" Old Demon was slightly taken aback. He knew that Bai Xiaowen's Insight talent allowed him to accurately see the target's name.
"However, they're all terrestrial beasts. There shouldn't be any difference, right?" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and summoned the Butcher. After some thought, he summoned two skeleton sword-shielders to protect the Butcher's flanks. "Let's get to work."
The three summoned creatures took the lead and rushed into the Viper Valley.
Hiss …
With a loud noise, seven to eight rattlesnakes shot out from different directions like arrows. Three of them latched onto Fatty's body and opened their mouths to bite him, while the other four landed on the Skeleton Swordsman on both sides and continued to bite him.
With a whoosh, the skeleton sword-shielders and the Butcher were covered in a layer of purple fog and entered a poisoned state.
"Nevermind the Butcher, even skeletons can be poisoned … It's clearly called hemolytic toxins. My skeletons don't even have blood vessels …"
Bai Xiaowen complained. However, he also knew that creatures in the Psionic Era could not be explained by science. Otherwise, it would be illogical for skeletons to be able to crawl up.
