Chapter 1057: Conscription Order!

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

In his personal storage, the reunion between ‘Ambition’ and ‘Repentance’ seemed to be coming to an end. The milky white light had shrunk smaller from its initial size of a basketball and its brightness had faded a little so that the silhouettes inside could be seen. The two weapons seemed to be merging together.

Sheyan’s greatest wish at the moment, rather than having a threesome with Zi and Melody, was to be able to bring with him to the bonus promotion mission the brand new weapon that would emerge after the reunion of ‘Ambition’ and ‘Repentance’. From the progress he could observe so far, that wish seemed very promising.

However, that was not the reason for the notification from the nightmare imprint. Sheyan’s attention was focused on an unexpected document which had appeared without warning.

This document was shining with an astonishing red light!

This light was much stronger than any kind of red that Sheyan had ever seen. It seemed to contain a crazy feeling, as if it would assimilate everything it touched!

If there was anything it reminded Sheyan of, Sheyan could only think of one thing — the bloodthirsty weapon he obtained after he killed Tolui Helenite of Zeus’ party!

(TL: In Ch. 723)

The giant warhammer that exuded metallic lustre and arrogance!

Only the strong, domineering red colour on the giant warhammer could compared with the red on this document. It was a red that was full of killing aura and dignity!

The document immediately unfolded with just a thought from Sheyan.

[ Conscription Order ]

[ Day 4, Month 16, Continental Year 1768 ]

[ Hour 1706 ]

[ Notice from the Milky Way Eastern Battlefield Colonisation Headquarters on a reconnaissance and sampling mission. ]

[ Target Location: Area 704 of the 8th spiral arm of the galactic halo ]

[ Target Planet: Planet Uplos ]

[ Target Planet Profile: This is a planet only one-third the size of the Earth. Because it has many satellites, a person on the planet can see two moons hanging in the sky, sometimes even three. ]

[ The atmosphere of planet Uplos contains ammonia, methane and chlorine, but it also has 38.4% oxygen content. Contestants with a Physique of over 40 can survive in it without any support devices. Contestants with a Physique of over 80 will hardly be affected. ]

[ Do not mistake this planet for a barren place. The special climate has bred an ecological environment similar to that on Earth. Explorers of the planet will be challenged by various types of complex terrains, but we can almost eliminate the possibilities of snowy mountains, deserts and oceans. ]

[ Target Mission: Travel to Uplos, then travel 400 kilometers along the route indicated on the map within seven days. Scout the five areas along the route and procure samples from these areas. Upon arrival at the destination, use the communication device to send a signal. ]

[ Warning: There is strong geomagnetic interference on planet Uplos, so landing and sending signals are only possible in certain areas where the magnetic fields overlap. Therefore, when you are in danger, there is nothing we can do to help. You should know that three teams have been sent before this, but all of them, without exception, did not send any signals back. ]

[ Hint: You have five days of rest starting from the moment you receive the order. The deadline for returning is 12:00 midnight on the fifth day. Refusing the conscription will cause you to be penalised by a demotion of 2 ranks to your military rank. ]

Sheyan’s sleepiness had completely disappeared after reading this series of notifications. He walked back home with a heavy heart. Uncle Dasi had gone out to sea, so only Aunt Digu was still here. She warmly welcomed him back with a cup of tea.

After a careful study of the order, Sheyan was disappointed, to tell the truth. From what he had heard from the miner, there seemed to be a possibility of choosing a mission, but that was not the case at all.

Fortunately, this planet Uplos was a very undeveloped planet, as could be seen from the mission to scout and procure samples.

There was a chance that spotted crystals would appear on a primitive planet like this. That was to say, he had a great chance to complete both the “Silver Mission Series hidden branch, Chapter 2: Injection” and the promotion mission in the next world.

But the crimson colour on the order was frightening, and that made Sheyan uneasy. In addition, the difficulty of the mission was not stated. Thus, he made use of his military rank privilege to inquire about the difficulty of the promotion mission.

The answer he obtained was that the difficulty of this promotion mission was: four stars.

Sheyan started to have an ominous premonition. He inquired further, but this time, a fee was required. The fee of 5,000 utility points was not a small sum. Utility points was truly something essential, Sheyan thought, as they seemed come to him as quickly as they left him.

After paying the fee, Sheyan finally obtained something called the “Interstellar Biological Creature Communities and Danger Classifications (Confidential)”.

These were the texts on the front page of the top-secret document:

[ Endorsed by the Nightmare Realm Safety Committee. ]

[ Classifications made by the Interstellar Cultivator Association. ]

[ This document is only for the eyes of those of Major rank and above in the Interstellar Colonisation Army. ]

***

[ One Star Difficulty Classification: ]

[ There is a possibility of encountering interstellar biological creature communities possessing somewhat weak combat strength, which can be cleared by less than ten interstellar soldiers. These interstellar biological creatures are often no more lethal than the unknown bacteria that they may carry on their body. Of course, they also do not have much value. ]

[ Old Earth example: Comparable to the level of danger when a well-trained, healthy 25-year-old man faces off against a 4-year-old German Shepherd with bare hands. ]

***

[ Two Stars Difficulty Classification: ]

[ There is a possibility of encountering interstellar biological creature communities possessing a certain level of combat strength. These creatures are strong enough to cause some damage to the armed forces of small colonial areas, but it would be difficult for them to strike a lethal blow. Usually, such creatures can be tamed or enslaved. ]

[ Old Earth example: Comparable to the level of danger when a well-trained, healthy 25-year-old man armed with a tactical knife faces off against a cheetah. ]

***

[ Three Stars Difficulty Classification: ]

[ There is a possibility of encountering interstellar biological creature communities possessing combat strength strong enough to cause casualties. However, their life habits and fighting methods have been thoroughly studied, and we can use targeted weapons and tactics to effectively kill them. They are barely within the scope of creatures that the conventional armed ground forces can handle. ]

[ Old Earth example: Comparable to the level of danger when a well-trained, healthy 25-year-old man, armed with a full set of standard equipment for conventional armed forces, faces off against two or more Nile crocodiles in a swamp. ]

***

[ Four Stars Difficulty Classification: ]

[ There is a possibility of encountering dangerous interstellar biological creature communities. We possess only about 70% of their information, have captured the leaders of their communities before and have exterminated at least 10 of their communities. To deal with these interstellar biological communities, it is necessary to mobilise at least one regiment (1,000 people or more) of the armed forces from the regular army, which must be led by a Growth-Hunter-level superhuman. ]

[ Old Earth example: Comparable to the level of danger when a well-trained, healthy 25-year-old man, armed with a full set of standard equipment for conventional armed forces, faces off against 3,000 or more wolves on a plain, or 30 or more Great White Sharks in the water. ]

***

[ Five Stars Difficulty Classification: ]

[ There is a possibility of encountering very dangerous mysterious creature communities. We possess only about 30% of their information and have captured some individual specimens, but have not attempted any open measures specifically targeting them. They can only be dealt with by mobilising 3,000 regular troops and at least 50 Awakener-level superhumans. ]

[ Old Earth example: Comparable to the level of danger when a well-trained, healthy 25-year-old man, armed with a full set of standard equipment for conventional armed forces, faces off against 1,000 or more giant, flesh-eating dinosaurs. ]

****

[ Six Stars Difficulty Classification: ]

[ There is a possibility of encountering extremely dangerous mysterious creature communities. At least 80% of their data is unknown. They have caused more than 20,000 casualties to the Empire to date. ]

[ Old Earth example: Comparable to the level of danger when a well-trained, healthy 25-year-old man, armed with a full set of standard equipment for conventional armed forces, faces off against 300 resurrected mummies and a frantic wave of scarabs. ]

Sheyan almost cursed out loud after he read the relevant information.

He now had a clearer understanding of a four-star difficulty mission because the information was indeed very detailed and descriptive.

He finally understood what the miner meant when he advised Sheyan not to sidetrack from the mission.

“F*cking hell. Considering how difficult this mission is, it’s not like I’ll have any chances to sidetrack!”

Sheyan couldn’t help swearing in his mind.

However, Sheyad did notice a few words that were clearly written on the conscription order: “…three teams have been sent before this…”. It was a comfort to him because it showed that at least he was not fighting alone. It also meant that, although he was given a four-star mission, the danger was divided among everyone involved, which was a good thing.

It was a well known fact that when your team ran into some predatory beasts, you do not necessary have to run faster than the beasts; you just have to run faster than your teammates….

After he calmed himself down, Sheyan emptied his thoughts so as to let his tense nerves relax. The milky white light enshrouding ‘Ambition’ and ‘Repentance’ had become even fainter. It appeared that the moment of success was nigh.

Sanzi and the others had not returned. It seemed that the mission they received in the Terminator world was not so simple, but considering that the reward for the mission was a dark gold item, it was a given.

Although Sheyan was not with them, he was not too worried. The mastermind behind the scenes already had no way of intervening, and Zi, as well as Reef, had plenty of experience leading a party.

He rested in the real world until six o’clock in the afternoon of the fifth day, adjusting himself to his optimum state, then entered the nightmare realm ahead of time. Almost immediately after he returned to his private space, he found that the milky white light that was enshrouding ‘Ambition’ and ‘Repentance’ had completely faded away. The outcome revealed after the reunion between the brothers made Sheyan’s jaw drop….
