Chapter 289: Chapter 245 Production-Type Epic (4K)_1

The Red Fog Disaster Moon appending ‘Moon’ to its name implies that the disaster usually lasts a month or a bit longer.

At this point, the Red Fog Disaster Moon is halfway through its duration, yet the frequency of monster tides invading territories has ironically lessened.

However, the red fog is still drifting, and as more and more tendrils of the red fog surge from the depths of the wilderness, the fog in the sky and earth seems to get thicker.

At the east gate of Shiling Town, a dozen veteran players are returning from the wilderness.

They are players from a mercenary group, who have just undertaken a mission to subdue and purify a Land of Filth. Most of the players are covered in monster blood, with only a few magic-user players being a bit cleaner.

Behind them, dozens of accompanying troops are dragging and carrying some monster corpses, along with valuable lumber and raw ore.

These are all their gains along the way.

Only by knowing how to plunder the valuable things within their field of vision, can they look forward to better days ahead, and veteran adventurers and explorers all do so.

“However, it’s really not easy to subdue a Land of Filth during the Red Fog Disaster Moon. The monsters gathered there are several times more than usual.”

“Absolutely! If this Land of Filth hadn’t just recently formed, we might not have been able to take it down at all. Even so, we still lost over a dozen troops, even some of our main elites… If it weren’t for the task subsidy from the Players Association, we would have run a deficit on this mission.”

The muscular young man in the lead turned his head and said, “You can’t just dwell on the cost and gain. If this kind of Land of Filth is not subdued promptly, it can cause a major disaster. Isn’t it great that we managed to purify the Land of Filth?”

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re absolutely right, captain…”

The deputy looked alarmed, “Old captain, there’s a bit of red in your eyes, it looks like bloody veins.”

He suddenly thought of something, turned his head violently, and stared hard at everyone’s eyes.

“There are red veins in everyone’s eyes, and the troops’ eyes are even more reddened,” he said. “This is the corrosion of the red fog. Once the corrosion goes deep into the marrow and contaminates the soul, whether it’s us players or the troops, we all will become monsters, and turn into creatures like those wild ones who eat raw meat and drink blood, and murder instinctually.”

“Right now, our level of corrosion is not high, but if we let it continue, it might cause irreversible consequences. We can’t go out again soon unless everyone is willing to spend on potions like Ice Clear Solution.”

They couldn’t afford to buy it; they could only stay in town for a few days to recover.

This is the choice of most veteran players.

Purchase the anti-corrosion potion? Only the Whales or the Lord Players have that kind of wealth, or are willing to spend such a large amount of money.

“For us average players, finishing a task and then resting for a few days is quite suitable. We should think about what task to accept next.”

“I can’t get the mission at all!”

Player Association of Shiling Town, mission hall.

A girl with a ponytail is sitting in the corner of the hall, holding a device similar to a tablet in her hand.

This device connects to the main system of the mission hall and can only be used within the Association area for information searches and mission acceptance.

Seventeen has been squatting here in the mission hall for three days.

She was sent to Shiling Town by the Lord to take on the position of security captain for the commercial outpost, but under normal circumstances, she didn’t need to take charge. She didn’t understand business matters; Daisy and others were responsible for those.

Thinking it’s not good to simply earn money and salary without doing anything, Seventeen quickly figured out how to make money after staying for several days in Shiling Town.

Like other players, she decided to undertake tasks to earn Soul Sand.

If the players can earn it, why can’t she, Seventeen?

After consulting the Lord, her idea was affirmed. The Lord even planned to send a group of elites to assist at the Shiling Town outpost.

However,

She couldn’t get any tasks!

Even though she is an Epic Life entity, even though she has sharp eyes that are an essential trait for an Archer, strangely, many times, she’s just a beat too slow.

Indeed, Seventeen is strong, but she can’t match the extreme hand speed that others have honed from being single for thirty years.

Professional task grabbers from the mercenary groups and other major powers are camping in the Association hall.

These people are not the most powerful ones but the best at grabbing tasks.

Just now, a task to purify a Land of Filth slipped right past her. If she hadn’t restrained herself, she would have nearly punctured the tablet in her hand.

Over the past three days, she has only accepted a few basic tasks to exterminate monster groups.

It’s better than nothing.

Seventeen drew circles with her finger.

She took out a palm-sized notebook, gently turned it open, recording many tips and precautions. Some were from her observations, while others were answers she got from asking others.

‘The ways to earn money in Shiling Town: 1…; 2…; 3…; 4…’

‘It is recommended to use “Handsome boy” or “Beautiful girl” to address other players.’

‘When greeting acquaintances, ask “have you eaten”.’

‘Shiling Town has three training fields, the one in the east town that can handle War General Level forces or above costs 2000g Soul Sand for ten hours, but you can get a 20% discount with Old Fish Head’s recommendation letter.’

‘It is rumored that there is a coaching job available at a training field in the west town? To be confirmed. (Note: Confirm this info before today)’

‘Legend has it that some small business associations are currently missing escorts, this might be a way to earn money. (But last time, I was kicked out before I could ask a few questions, weird, where did the problem occur..)’
