Chapter 177 The Summons

In the private storage space, the meeting between Ambition and Repentance seemed to be drawing to a close. The milky white light sphere had shrunk from the size of a basketball, becoming fainter, and the vague outlines inside could even be seen. It appeared that the two weapons were merging and blending together.

Fang Senyan's greatest hope at this stage wasn't taking Zi and Wuge for a threesome... but to be able to take the new weapon that appeared after Ambition and Repentance met and use it to undergo a special advancement mission. Based on the progress observed so far, it looked very promising.

However, this wasn't the main reason why the Nightmare Imprint prompted him. Fang Senyan's attention was focused on an official document that appeared suddenly and without warning.

This official document was dazzling with a heart-stopping red glow!

That glow was much more intense than any red Fang Senyan had ever seen. It seemed to possess a madness that wanted to assimilate everything!!

If there was anything that could be compared to it, Fang Senyan could only think of one thing! That was the bloody weapon he had seized after killing Tore Hartnett of the Zeus team.

That giant hammer filled with metallic texture and domineering aura!

Only the intense red domineering aura on that giant hammer could be compared to the red on this official document, filled with the aura of killing and majesty!!! Leaving no room for doubt!

At Fang Senyan's command, the official document unfolded, revealing the words on it.

Summons

Notice from the Eastern War Zone Colonial Hunter Command regarding reconnaissance sampling.

Target location: Area 704, Eighth Spiral Arm of the Galactic Halo

Target planet: Epsilon Planet

Target planet introduction: This is a planet only one-third the size of Earth. Because it has captured multiple satellites, one can see the spectacle of two or even three moons hanging in the sky at once on Epsilon Planet.

The air on Epsilon Planet is filled with ammonia, methane, and chlorine, but it also has an oxygen content of 38.4%. Contractors with a physique exceeding forty points can survive on it without any auxiliary facilities. Contractors with a physique exceeding eighty points will hardly be affected at all.

However, if you think this is a barren land, you would be terribly wrong. The special climate has given birth to an ecological environment similar to that of Earth. Explorers will face the challenge of various complex terrains, but the existence of terrains such as snow mountains, deserts, and oceans can almost be eliminated.

Target mission: Go to Epsilon Planet and traverse four hundred kilometers along the route indicated on the map within seven days. Explore and sample five areas along this route. After arriving at the destination, use the communicator to send a message.

Warning: Epsilon Planet has strong geomagnetic interference. Signals can only be sent and landings can only be made in certain specific magnetic field overlap areas. Therefore, we cannot provide any assistance when you encounter danger. It must be told to you that three teams have entered before you, but without exception, none of them were able to send any signals back.

Hint: From the time you receive the order, you have five days of rest in real time. However, the deadline for returning to the team is midnight on the fifth day. Refusal to be conscripted will be severely punished with a mandatory reduction of lv2 in rank.

Fang Senyan looked at this series of prompts. Sleepiness was thrown to the clouds. He walked home with a heavy heart. His Fourth Uncle had gone out to sea to catch the tide. Only Aunt Di was here, enthusiastically serving him tea and water.

After carefully studying this order, Fang Senyan, to be honest, was a little disappointed, because he had heard from the miner that there seemed to be a possibility of choosing a mission, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Fortunately, this Epsilon Planet was a planet with a very low degree of development. This could be seen from the fact that his mission was exploration and sampling.

On this kind of desolate planet, there was a chance that spotted crystals would appear, which meant that his hoped-for promotion mission and the silver series mission hidden branch sub-chapter: Injection, could still be completed together in the next world, and there was still a good chance of that happening.

However, Fang Senyan thought for a while, and always felt that the blood color on this order was really shocking, and it didn't mark the difficulty of the mission, so he used his rank privileges to inquire about the difficulty of this promotion mission.

The final answer obtained was that the danger level of this advancement mission was: four stars.

Fang Senyan vaguely began to feel an ominous premonition. He continued to inquire again, but this time he had to pay, and it was a considerable amount of five thousand general points. So for Fang Senyan, general points seemed to come and go quickly, but they were still essential.

After paying, Fang Senyan finally obtained something called: Interstellar Space Biological Groups and Danger Level Classification (Confidential).

On the title page of this top-secret document, there was a clear label.

Approved by the Nightmare Space Security Committee,

Classified by the Interstellar Cultivators Association,

This information is only available to officers of the rank of major or higher in the Interstellar Colonial Army.

*

One-star difficulty classification:

Will likely encounter interstellar biological groups with weak combat power that can be cleared by less than ten interstellar soldiers. Their lethality, to some extent, is not much stronger than the unknown germs they may carry on their bodies. Of course, the utilization value is not very high either.

Ancient Earth biological example: The danger of a well-trained, healthy twenty-five-year-old man facing a four-year-old German Shepherd barehanded.

*

Two-star difficulty classification:

Will likely face interstellar biological groups with a certain degree of combat power. The lethality of these groups will cause a certain degree of damage to the armed forces of small colonial areas, but it is difficult to cause a fatal blow. Under normal circumstances, these groups can be enslaved and tamed.

Ancient Earth biological example: The danger of a well-trained, healthy twenty-five-year-old man wielding a tactical combat knife facing a cheetah.

*

Three-star difficulty classification:

The interstellar biological groups that may be faced already fall into the category that the regular ground armed forces of the colony can barely deal with. Their living habits and combat methods have been thoroughly understood. We can use targeted weapons and tactics to effectively kill them. However, the lethality of these groups is also fatal. Injuries and deaths are likely to occur.

Ancient Earth biological example: The danger of a well-trained, healthy twenty-five-year-old man, fully armed with the standard equipment of regular troops, encountering more than two Nile crocodiles in a swamp.

*

Four-star difficulty classification:

May face dangerous interstellar biological groups. Currently, only 70% of the information is known about them. At least 85% of the information on this type of creature has been mastered. Their tribal leaders have been captured and at least ten tribes have been wiped out. To deal with such interstellar biological groups, it is still necessary to use the armed forces of the regular army, with a number of at least one team (over 1,000 people), led by a Colonial Hunter-level super-powered person.

Ancient Earth biological example: The danger of a well-trained, healthy twenty-five-year-old man, fully armed with the standard equipment of regular troops, encountering a pack of wolves numbering over 3,000 on the plains, or encountering more than 30 great white sharks in the water.

*

Five-star difficulty classification:

May face very dangerous and mysterious groups. 30% of the information is known. Individual specimens have been captured, but no public countermeasures have been published yet. Requires the dispatch of 3,000 regular troops and at least fifty Awakened-level super-powered people to deal with them.

Ancient Earth biological example: The danger of a well-trained, healthy twenty-five-year-old man, fully armed with the standard equipment of regular troops, facing a group of giant carnivorous dinosaurs numbering over 1,000.

*

Six-star difficulty classification:

May face extremely dangerous and mysterious groups. At least 80% of the information is unknown. Has caused more than 20,000 casualties to the Empire so far.

Ancient Earth biological example: The danger of a well-trained, healthy twenty-five-year-old man, fully armed with the standard equipment of regular troops, facing three hundred resurrected mummies mixed with a swarm of crazy scarabs.

Fang Senyan almost cursed out loud after reading this relevant information.

Because this information was explained in great detail and clearly, Fang Senyan had a clearer and deeper understanding of the four-star difficulty mission.

He finally understood what the miner meant by not being distracted during the mission.

"Damn it, with such a terrifying difficulty, I wouldn't have a chance to be distracted even if I wanted to!!"

Fang Senyan couldn't help but curse in his heart.

However, Fang Senyan noticed a sentence clearly written on the summons: "Three teams have entered before you...", which finally gave him a little comfort, because at least he wasn't fighting alone. This meant that although he currently had a four-star difficulty mission, its danger was still spread out among everyone, which might not be a bad thing.

Because it is well known that when encountering danger from carnivorous beasts, you don't necessarily have to escape faster than the danger, but you must escape faster than your teammates...

After calming down, Fang Senyan put everything aside and allowed his tense nerves to relax. The milky white light that wrapped Ambition and Repentance was also getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that the time for success was just around the corner.

On the other hand, Sanzi and the others hadn't returned yet. It seemed that the mission they had taken on in the Terminator world was by no means ordinary, but considering that the mission reward was Dark Gold-level, it wasn't too excessive.

Although Fang Senyan wasn't with them, considering that the mastermind had no chance to intervene, and that Zi and Jiao Shi had very rich and experienced leadership, Fang Senyan wasn't worried either.

He rested in the real world until 6:00 PM on the fifth day, adjusting his state to be very full of energy, and then entered the Nightmare Space in advance. As soon as he returned to his private space, he discovered that the layer of milky white light that wrapped Ambition and Repentance had completely dissipated. The ending revealed after this encounter between brothers instantly stunned Fang Senyan...
