Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 1640 - 1640 The Challenge

1640 The Challenge

Fang Heng nodded and said, “Yes, it’s still alright. The difficulty of the advanced game has increased, and we’ve encountered quite a challenge.”

“Indeed, but the greater the difficulty, the greater the reward.”

As Hector had something urgent to do, he didn’t chat with Fang Heng too much and got to the point, “Long story short, our company has just confirmed a small cosmic crystal mine. The initial estimate is about 1-2 tons. We have already started to execute the excavation. Are you interested in participating?”

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, “Nearby? Are there high-tier creatures around the mine?”

Hector nodded and replied, “Yes, about five kilometers away. High-tier creatures will appear intermittently nearby. The number is relatively small, so it’s not a problem. It’s completely under control.”

Forget it then.

Hearing this, Fang Heng lost interest.

The low number of monsters meant that it was not enough for him to farm monsters and level up.

If even Hector’s team could handle it, there was no need for him to waste his time.

Not to mention there were only 2 tons of cosmic crystal reserves.

It was a little too little.

Fang Heng quickly thought about it and nodded, “No, I’ll take a look at something else.”

The young man behind Hector was a little surprised.

Actually, the reason they roped Fang Heng in to participate in the excavation of the cosmic crystals was to get closer to him.

After the mining was completed, they would definitely give Fang Heng a portion.

Giving up the benefits was for better cooperation in the future.

He did not expect Fang Heng to reject him so easily as if he did not care at all.

“Alright, Fang Heng. We’ll borrow your world passage to transport resources later.”

“Of course, I already promised you. There’s no problem at all.”

Fang Heng pointed at the display screen in front of him and asked, “By the way, do you know what the mutant crystallization assembly device is?”

Hector also looked up and glanced at the points and materials exchange form provided by the Federation. He replied, “Yes, it’s used to create mutant crystals.”

“Mutant crystals? For leveling up?”

“Yes, it’s for leveling up after Level 30.”

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested. He probed, “Tell me more.”

“Players need to use mutant crystals to level up after Level 30. The drop rate of these crystals is very low, and they only drop from high-tier creatures. Therefore, it becomes extremely difficult to level up after Level 30.”

This information was not a secret. However, players below Level 30 had no way of finding out.

“The Federation has developed a special device in some way that can absorb energy when killing low-tier creatures. When the energy is absorbed to a certain extent, it can form a mutant crystal after being recycled and modified by the Federation.”

How could there be such a trick?

Fang Heng thought to himself that the Federation still had some of its own merit. They could actually obtain high-tier crystals by killing a large number of low-tier monsters.

It could be considered to reduce the difficulty of the game.

“Using this method is a bit inefficient. Moreover, the Federation will also charge a high processing fee. More importantly, this way, ordinary players will be restrained by the Federation. But the players will need to use this method to help the Federation as they have no better way.”

At this point, Hector glanced at the players in the factory and smiled bitterly, “Otherwise, where do you think so many player companies and guilds are willing to work for the Federation?”

Fang Heng looked at the players around him and suddenly had an idea.

“Hector, do me a favor.”

Hector’s expression turned solemn.

Helping each other was a bridge that deepened the relationship between the two.

“Tell me, I’ll try my best.”

“I want to receive a special commission from the Federation, but the Federation doesn’t open commissions for individuals. In addition, my identity isn’t suitable, so I want to receive it in the name of your Starfish Company. You don’t have to worry about the follow-up of the commission.”

“You want to complete the commission alone?”

Hector was surprised.

On the LCD screen, a large portion of the special commissions belonged to the Federation.

This part of the commission was more important. Before accepting it, it had to go through the Federation’s review.

Generally, only large companies and player teams were allowed to accept it.

Once the commission failed, the guild’s credit rating in the Federation would be lowered.

“Yes.”

“Which mission?”

Fang Heng pointed and said, “Guard the outpost.”

Upon hearing this, the young man following behind Hector had a slight change in expression.

Hector looked at him and asked, “How is it?”

The young man said in a deep voice, “This mission is extremely difficult.”

Hector said to Fang Heng, “This is Lu Yanlong. He is one of the first batch to enter this world to explore. He knows the situation here very well,”

Lu Yanlong stepped forward and said, “It’s Mr. Fang’s first day here, so he probably doesn’t know much about the situation.”

“Every night, the entire federal camp area will be attacked by a large number of mutated creatures. The federal troops were almost wiped out in the first few days and forced to retreat.”

“After that, the Federation chose to build eight outposts in the outer area of the base in advance as the first line of defense during the day. Due to the lack of defensive manpower, the Federation also issued the commission of guarding the outposts and defeating the mutated creatures to the player teams.”

Lu Yanlong’s expression was solemn as he said, “The outpost was established in a hurry, and its defensive capabilities are extremely limited. The supplies and whatnot can’t keep up at all. The Federation says that they will provide various support in name, but in reality, when a large number of mutated creatures swarm over, it will be very difficult for them to defend the base. They won’t have the time to send people to support the outpost that has been packed out at the periphery.”

When Fang Heng heard this, his eyelids twitched. He could not help but interrupt, “I’m sorry to interrupt. Did you just say that a large number of creatures will attack the outpost? How strong is the creature?

Lu Yanlong thought for a moment and replied seriously, “It’s a mixed-type mutated creature. There are high and low-strength creatures. The highest-strength creature has appeared before, but I’ve never heard of a Commander-level creature.”

“I understand. You can continue.”

“Alright. In the past few days, after the outpost mission was released, many player companies and teams have tried it, but all of them failed without exception. The outpost has never been truly defended, and the number of player teams willing to accept the mission has decreased. As a result, the Western District Federation is also in a lot of trouble, and the rewards they give are increasing daily.”

Lu Yanlong looked at Fang Heng and said in a low voice, “Mr. Fang, I don’t recommend you accept this mission. The purpose of this mission is to find cannon fodder to resist the first wave of attack from the mutated creatures by using our strength to fight the monsters. This will help reduce the pressure on the guards protecting the camp.”

Fang Heng naturally understood this logic.

However…

He was even more interested!

First of all, there would be a large number of mutated creatures attacking the outpost at night, mixed with high-strength creatures.

He could obtain mutant crystals from it.

Secondly, the exchange reward given by the Western District Federation was very good.
