It took Lin Huang less than a day to complete the three difficult reserve missions.
After completing the missions, he rushed back to the Death's Scythe base in the Iron Fist Shelter as soon as he could and handed over the two monster carcasses and poison glands.
The staff member in charge of receiving him was a lady with big wavy hair. She was a little surprised when she received the mission items.
"These three missions have been up for a long time, but nobody's been willing to accept them. I can't believe someone actually managed to complete them," the lady mumbled softly as she processed the promotion procedures for Lin Huang.
Very soon, all the procedures were completed. The lady lifted her head and looked at Lin Huang.
"Xie Lin, right? Your missions have been handed in, and the promotion procedures have been completed. Normally, your backer level should change within three minutes. If there's no change after an hour, you can come back to us to deal with it. "
After leaving the Death's Scythe base, Lin Huang went straight back to the hotel.
He clicked on the Death's Scythe official website again and saw that his backer level had indeed changed. It had changed from 'reserve' to 'Black Sickle', and the default avatar had changed from 'reserve' to two crossed black sickles.
Apart from that, his authorization had also changed accordingly.
The trading and forum sections that had not been opened before were now completely open. The missions section was no longer just for reserve members, but for Black Sickle members. The information section was also open for Black Sickle members.
Lin Huang finally saw Death's Scythe's Black Sickle, White Sickle, and Gold Sickle leaderboards.
Apart from the members' code names in Death's Scythe, the leaderboards also recorded their combat strength, number of missions completed, number of failures, and total points.
"Code Name: Fallen Star"
"Combat Strength: Virtual God rank-9"
"Mission Completed: 1,361"
"Mission Failed: 33"
"Total Points: 6071518"
…
"Code Name: Destiny"
"Combat Strength: Virtual God rank-9"
"Mission Completed: 1,368"
"Mission Failed: 59"
"Total Points: 5712623"
…
"Code Name: Twin"
"Combat Strength: Virtual God rank-9/Virtual God rank-9"
Mission Completion Count: 1281
"Mission Failed Count: 88"
Total Points: 5112513
…
Almost all of the top 30 on the Black Sickle Leaderboard were at Virtual God rank-9.
Lin Huang's gaze lingered on the Black Sickle Leaderboard for a while before turning to the second White Sickle Leaderboard.
"Code: Virtuoso"
"Combat Strength: Seventh-rank True God"
[Number of missions completed: 768]
Mission Failed Count: 0
Total Points: (Insufficient permissions, unable to view)
When Lin Huang saw the information of Zang Tian, who was ranked first, he was shocked.
"His combat strength is only seventh-rank, and he's accepted so few missions, yet he's ranked first?!"
The person ranked second below Virtuoso was a ninth-rank True God who had completed 3,618 missions, although he had also failed 78 times. However, they were ranked second in terms of points. Clearly, the missions that Virtuoso took on were more difficult, and the mission rewards were very high.
"He didn't fail even once in more than 700 high-difficulty missions?!" This made Lin Huang even more concerned.
This fellow with the code name Virtuoso on the White Sickle Leaderboard was clearly extremely powerful.
On the White Sickle Leaderboard, the person ranked second had failed 78 times, while the person ranked third had completed more than 3,700 missions but failed 126 times. Further down the list, the number of failures had exceeded 200.
Clearly, a White Sickle mission was not something that could be easily completed.
After his gaze lingered on the White Sickle Leaderboard for a while, Lin Huang looked at the higher-level Golden Sickle Leaderboard.
The person ranked first was Zang Tian, who was famous throughout the entire God Territory. Even Lin Huang, who had just arrived in the God Territory not long ago, had heard of this name.
"Code Name: Zang Tian"
"Combat Strength: Ninth-rank Heavenly God"
"Number of Mission Completed: 5,128"
"Number of Failed Count: 13"
"Total Points: (Insufficient permissions, unable to view)"
…
When he saw Zang Tian's information, Lin Huang was even more convinced that Virtuoso, who was ranked first on the White Sickle Leaderboard, was an amazing person. As the top powerhouse on the Golden Sickle Leaderboard, Zang Tian's combat strength was at ninth-rank heavenly god-level, and he had also failed thirteen missions.
Those ranked second and third had failed more than fifty missions.
After roughly looking through the three leaderboards, the one that left the deepest impression on Lin Huang was not the highest-ranking Golden Sickle Leaderboard, nor was it Zang Tian, who had the strongest ability. Instead, it was Virtuoso, who was ranked first on the White Sickle Leaderboard.
Unfortunately, as a Black Sickle member, Lin Huang did not have enough permissions to see more information about the members on the White Sickle and Golden Sickle Leaderboards.
With a hint of interest, Lin Huang tried to look up Virtuoso's information on the Internet, but to no avail. On the other hand, Zang Tian's information was readily available. He could even find many videos of him killing his targets.
Zang Tian's way of killing was different from other assassins. One could even say that he was an anomaly. He never ambushed his targets. Each time he carried out an assassination, he would appear in front of his targets openly. He did not even bother to cover his face. He would fight his targets head-on and then leave.
He had never refused spectators to record his combat videos, nor did he care about the impact of the videos being uploaded to the Internet.
Even when the videos of him failing two missions went viral on the Internet and some people ridiculed him maliciously, he had never responded.
'This Zang Tian is an interesting guy.'
After closing the Internet page, Lin Huang stopped his nosy thoughts and began looking at the information section on the forum.
Before starting something, the most important thing to do was to obtain relevant information. This was a piece of advice that Bloody had given to Lin Huang.
Therefore, before officially accepting a mission, Lin Huang planned to look at the information section first to see if there was any useful information.
The information section was not accessible to reserve members. This was the first time Lin Huang had clicked on it since he had elevated to Black Sickle.
According to the popularity, the number one post was the Top Ten Most Deceptive Missions (Black Sickle Chapter).
Lin Huang could not help but click on it when he saw the title of the post.
Number One Most Deceptive Missions:
Mission: Kill the Wine Ant Queen
Mission Target Details: Bug Tribe Wine Ant Queen, mythical-level, combat strength peak virtual god-level rank-9 (may elevate to true god-level at any time). Has four pseudo-mythical-level bug guardians whose combat strength is also peak virtual god-level rank-9. Has over a hundred million Ant Tribe fighters under its command, all of which are virtual god-level. With sufficient materials, the Wine Ant Queen can create up to 1,000 Ant Tribe fighters every minute …
Mission Completion Points: 300,000 (Excluding the points obtained from selling the bug carcasses. Killing each of the four pseudo-mythical-level bug guardians will give you an additional 10,000 points.)
Mission Difficulty:
1. The Wine Ant Queen has up to a hundred million Ant Tribe fighters. All of them are virtual god-level, and it keeps creating Bug Tribe fighters. Even a low-rank true god-level powerhouse would find it difficult to step into the depths of the ant nest. As soon as their Divine Power is depleted, a True God will die in the ant nest.
2. The four pseudo-mythical-level bug guardians have individual abilities that are close to that of a True God, and they have different abilities. There are long-range attacks, melee attacks, control attacks, and meat shields. The four bug guardians have been working together for many years. Even a second-rank True God might not be able to defeat them.
3. The ant queen is on mythical-level. Its ability might not be any weaker than a first-rank True God's when it comes to fighting.
4. The star zone where the Wine Ant Queen is located is a war zone. Apart from the ant queen, there will be other powerful Bug Tribes.
…
Lin Huang was tempted after reading the mission description.
Perhaps this mission was almost impossible for other Black Sickle Tribe members. One could even say that it was a suicide mission. However, to Lin Huang, the last thing he was afraid of was a Queen Mother Bug Tribe member.
As long as one's ability was below the Nightmare Tapir's, numbers were just numbers.
The high 300,000 points reward made Lin Huang a little envious.
After all, on the Black Sickle Leaderboard, the reward for killing virtual god-level monsters was between 100 to 10,000 points. Only a handful of true god-level missions would reward more than 10,000 points.
The reason the Wine Ant Queen's reward was 300,000 points was that it was much more difficult to kill it than assassinating a normal low-rank True God.
If this mission were to be placed in the White Sickle District, most low-rank True Gods might not dare to accept it. Only medium-rank True Gods would dare to try it. After all, although a True God had Divine Fire in their body, their Divine Power might be depleted as soon as it was drained faster than the Divine Power provided by the Divine Fire.
This mission deserved to be listed as the number one scam.
After reading through the mission description, Lin Huang thought about it for a moment and proceeded to look at the other missions on the leaderboard …
