Chapter 113 Opportunities in West Capital

West Capital had many job opportunities. The recruitment office at the guard post allowed one to join the Star Dragon Army. Some underworld gangs in the Eighth District slum were recruiting, only accepting males, fully exposing workplace discrimination against women. Countless daily tasks could be found at various shops on the street. Perhaps stopping a passerby could trigger daily quests like "Find a Missing Wallet" or "Catch a Cat in a Tree." Various shops were also hiring part-timers, providing opportunities to earn money, confirming Ming Yue Chang Zhong's deduction that the new map contained countless opportunities.

Of course, West Capital was, after all, a high-level map. Many places were not open to low-level newbies. Ming Yue Chang Zhong and his friends also encountered obstacles. Jiang Yu Luo inquired about West Capital Academy but was turned away, feeling very depressed. Shan Guang Chao Fan went to the First District but was pushed back by sentries with guns, almost sacrificing his virgin death.

The next day, Ming Yue Chang Zhong, Jiang Yu Luo, and Shan Guang Chao Fan chose to enlist, joining the Star Dragon Army and becoming soldiers. They finally unlocked the combat class [Recruit], happily doing various training tasks. Their faction affiliation became more accurate, changing from "Star Dragon Kingdom" to "Star Dragon Army," and their identity became [Private].

Ming Yue Chang Zhong didn't forget about the lone wolf Kuang Dao Nu Jian. They had added each other as friends in the car. Ming Yue Chang Zhong kindly informed Kuang Dao Nu Jian via communication that he could join the army. However, Kuang Dao Nu Jian gave a perfunctory response and hung up, leaving Ming Yue Chang Zhong feeling depressed. He thought Kuang Dao Nu Jian wasn't interested, shook his head, and stopped bothering him.

Ming Yue Chang Zhong didn't know that Kuang Dao Nu Jian looked down on the opportunity he mentioned, focusing all his attention on clinging to Han Xiao's thick thighs, enjoying himself immensely.

In order to carefully test the various limitations of publishing missions, Han Xiao constantly issued bizarre tasks to Kuang Dao Nu Jian, including "Kick Ten Passersby's Butts," "Pull Down the Pants of a Patrolling Policeman," "Stand on One Leg and Rotate like Little Swan for Five Minutes," "Stick Your Butt Out and Shout 'Good Boy♂Stand Still' Three Times," and so on...

After testing, Han Xiao finally confirmed that as long as his reward amount met the difficulty standard, he could publish any content of the mission without restrictions.

Kuang Dao Nu Jian was enjoying himself immensely, these tasks were full of perverted fetishes, making him more and more horrified of Han Xiao. Just being stared at by Han Xiao would send a chill from his crotch straight to his head.

However, Han Xiao gave several times more experience than the novice tasks. For the sake of experience, Kuang Dao Nu Jian personally shattered his pure and flawless moral integrity and submitted.

Why are my eyes full of tears? It's a desperate lament of this perverted world.

The reward for abandoning his moral integrity allowed him to level up quickly. He learned various basic skills from Han Xiao, and he also contributed experience to Han Xiao.

Although the closed beta was unexpected for Han Xiao, it didn't have much impact on the overall situation. Compared to the entire population of Planet Aquamarine, the closed beta players scattered throughout the planet were just a drop in the ocean. If players wanted to influence the pattern of the beginner planet, they had to grow for a period of time. The closed beta was only twelve days long, and they couldn't do much.

A small, inconspicuous abnormal cyclone on the sea would only turn into a world-sweeping storm after continuous accumulation.

The closed beta players were all poor, without much to gain from them, but in the long run, players were the largest consumer group.

Han Xiao controlled the task experience, giving a little more than the novice tasks, slightly helping Kuang Dao Nu Jian grow. This was his layout. Kuang Dao Nu Jian should have a brilliant performance when everyone hadn't grown up yet, relying on his missions and the equipment he bought from him. Even if Kuang Dao Nu Jian wanted to keep a low profile, his club wouldn't agree and would definitely promote him, thus sparking other players' curiosity about Kuang Dao Nu Jian's opportunities and expanding his potential customer base. When the time came, he would raise his arms and call for them, and a flood of experience and money would drown him. Han Xiao was also clear about Kuang Dao Nu Jian's little thoughts of wanting to monopolize the opportunity, but he didn't care, it was human nature.

Time passed.

...

[Public Beta Countdown: 126 days, 11 hours, 32 minutes]

Besides manufacturing high-combustion ammunition to grind experience, Han Xiao used his leisure time to browse the player forums.

The player forum was an authoritative platform for players to communicate. It was generally used to kill time when setting up stalls or waiting to respawn. Now, only closed beta players were posting inside.

"The women of Planet Aquamarine, Raylen, are all so beautiful!"

"Urgently seeking players to team up to challenge the Yellow Sand Marauders, Location: Changge Star - Falling Dragon Valley, Coordinates..."

"Snaps of the scenery of the magic floating city on Planet Paleton."

"Randomly became a tentacle monster, asking how to change race, waiting online!"

"Damn, I want to trade with you, I want to be a tentacle monster!"

Posts were generally for help and sharing information, and some guilds showed their team progress to increase their fame.

There were more than a dozen beginner planets, with magic civilizations, ancient civilizations, science fiction civilizations, martial arts civilizations, religious civilizations, etc., with many races and different social forms.

The most popular was Frost Winter Star, the territory of the Void Demon race, one of the strongholds of the Extinguishing Legion. Most of the players there were not humans.

Although their philosophy of "extinguishing the fire of civilization" was self-justifying, Han Xiao still had a subtle feeling of soreness every time he saw the name of the Extinguishing Legion.

Suddenly, a new post appeared and was instantly pinned to the top, attracting his attention.

"The First B-level Mission!"

Han Xiao gave a surprised exclamation. He remembered that the first B-level mission appeared after the public beta. How could anyone come into contact with this level of mission during the closed beta?

Han Xiao curiously clicked in, only to see a bunch of players frantically discussing and flooding the thread.

"Are you kidding me? I haven't even seen a D-level mission."

"Upstairs is an idiot, the post has pictures and truth!"

"It must be photoshopped, otherwise why would they only take a screenshot of the mission name and not release the mission content?"

"Are you kidding me? If you release it, are you letting us take the mission?"

"The difficulty must be very high. We haven't even passed the novice stage, how can we complete it?"

"The poster is the Pantheon Guild. They are elites, maybe they have a way."

"Is there anyone with a big stick who can tell me which planet this is?"

"Smiling and patting the heads of you guys."

"Sorry, my Wangcai ran out."

Han Xiao smiled knowingly, a trace of nostalgia rising in his heart. He carefully read through the dozen or so pages of replies before looking at the content.

The post only posted a screenshot of the mission name, and that screenshot instantly made Han Xiao narrow his eyes.

"B-level Mission: [Investigate Zero]."

Han Xiao immediately thought of the Germination Organization. Looking at the poster again, it was an official certified ID, Pantheon Guild.

"The guild of the Temple Club?"

The Temple Club was a wealthy family in the professional circle, having produced countless experts and having its own industrial chain. Han Xiao once had a grudge with them. He had taken a revenge order before, blowing up the president of the Pantheon Guild several times and arranging his corpse into various shameful poses for screenshots, which were posted on the forum for paid viewing, with the title following the style of the UC Shock Department, "Shocking! Why is the president of Pantheon Guild..." Women cried after reading it, men were silent! He made a quick buck and was then hunted down by the entire Pantheon Guild for a month.

"I miss the feeling of killing players..." Han Xiao sighed, turning his head to look at Kuang Dao Nu Jian.

Kuang Dao Nu Jian's whole body stiffened, feeling that Han Xiao's eyes were full of malice, scaring him so much that he didn't dare to move, standing in place like a wooden man, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

Han Xiao shook his head and pondered secretly.

In his previous life, the Pantheon Guild joined the Germination camp and was one of the largest player guilds on the Germination side. It seemed that it hadn't changed now.

Even a group of closed beta players could receive a mission to investigate him, it seemed that Germination was determined to kill him. Han Xiao's eyes flashed, with a slight hint of coldness.

For the current players, it was extremely difficult to bypass the eyes and ears of the Thirteenth Bureau and find Han Xiao, who could beat them easily. No wonder it was set as a B-level mission. Only by relying on the advantage of numbers and pressing forward one after another could they have a glimmer of opportunity.

But the Pantheon Guild seemed to have no shortage of people.

Suddenly, Han Xiao knew which Germination base he should choose as his next target.

...

The Pantheon Guild had fifteen closed beta spots, fully interpreting what it meant to be a privileged class. The president and vice president personally led a group of core experts into the closed beta. After discussion, they expressed their preference for technology in the system's questionnaire.

Their thinking was very simple. Since the background of *Galaxy* was the universe, technology must be the main theme. Based on this choice, the Pantheon Guild was assigned to Planet Aquamarine and quickly pooled money to buy a map.

After careful consideration, President Jupiter chose the Germination Organization as the initial camp. It just so happened that there was a Germination base near the Crow Forest town where they were born.

Jupiter felt that the Germination Organization should be the strongest camp, being hostile to all countries on the entire planet and still able to exist stably. How unfathomable its power must be! As for which NPC camp's philosophy was correct, what did it matter to them? Only those with late-stage internet addiction would care about the life and death of a group of NPCs, and they all needed to be treated by Yang's Technology.

In fact, the Pantheon Guild was not disappointed. After joining the Germination camp, they were taken to a new scene called Dark Crow Valley Base and officially became low-level members of the Germination Organization, obtaining a large number of training missions.

The biggest surprise was the B-level mission [Investigate Zero]. Even the Pantheon Guild didn't expect such a big harvest. The rewards made their hearts flutter.

The mission prompt was very brief, only knowing that the mission target, Zero, was within Star Dragon Territory, and no other clues were known.

At this time, the Pantheon Guild was holding a meeting in full swing, discussing how to complete this mission.

Jupiter said in a deep voice, "This is the first B-level mission. It doesn't seem to require combat, and it is possible to complete it with our current level. The reward is extremely generous, allowing us to lead all players. Whether we can suppress other guilds in the future depends on whether we can seize this opportunity!"

"We only know that Zero is in Star Dragon Territory. The area is so large, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. The chance of finding an NPC is too small. Besides, the closed beta time is running out, so to complete this mission, we can only hope for the public beta. Before that, we should conduct a preliminary investigation first," core member Poseidon said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, various opinions were expressed, and ideas were put forward one after another.

Jupiter liked to explore hidden elements and pondered, "The mission prompt vaguely expresses that Germination and Zero are hostile. If we capture Zero alive or even kill him, will there be additional rewards?"

"That makes sense, no wonder he's Lao Zhu."

"That would probably be an A-level difficulty," Poseidon said pessimistically.

"There are no impossible missions, we just haven't found a shortcut yet." Jupiter knocked on the conference table. "The public beta will be in a week after the closed beta. During this time, we must ask the other elders to discuss a solution. We will continue to do this mission in the public beta. This will be the breakthrough for the wasteland."

Vice President Shiva said proudly, "When the public beta comes, we will have the support of the guild's resources. If even we can't handle this mission, no one will be able to complete it."

"That's right," Jupiter nodded.

Poseidon suggested, "Using the power of other players would be much faster than finding it ourselves."

Jupiter's eyes lit up, "That makes sense. Post the appearance of Zero and offer a reward. As long as they contribute valuable clues, we will pay them."

The Temple Club was a wealthy family with a lot of money.
