Finally, it's here.
Li Ang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, listening to the next content.
[Mission trigger conditions t]
[Mission type: Script mission (???)]
[Mission na: The Long Night Approaches]
[Mission objective: Be in the Dark Room at noon today, 12:00, and await the next mission prompt]
[Mission reward: Announced when the next mission prompt is received]
[Failure penalty: Announced when the next mission prompt is received]
The Long Night Approaches?
Li Ang's heart trembled; a single mission na revealed nothing. The biggest doubt about this script mission lay in the series of question marks that followed.
From past experiences, script missions have been of types like solo, team, team competition, etc., but never has there been an instance where the suffix is a question mark.
What does it an? Even the System doesn't know the category of this mission?
Or does it an that the mission's flexibility is extrely high, and its form will depend on the player's own actions?
Li Ang furrowed his brows, pondered for a while, left the Alchemy Workshop, went to his computer desk, and searched the player forum, also finding nothing.
"Strange..."
He squinted, leaned back in his chair, "There are no related records on the player forum either.
So, was it produced with the kill scene ga version update?"
"What's wrong?"
Chaichai, who drifted into the bedroom, saw Li Ang frowning in contemplation, tilted her head, and asked.
Li Ang casually explained the current situation, adding, "The unknown is the most annoying. Any other form of task would be fine, but with a series of question marks as the suffix...
It's not possible to buy equipnt and items temporarily based on the task form to enhance oneself."
"The Long Night Approaches..."
Chaichai thought for a mont, "Do you think this script mission will take place in The Portal World? Just coincidentally, the version updates, the Star Gate opens, and the kill scene ga throws a bunch of players into the unfamiliar Portal World,
as it also can't guess whether players will cooperate or compete, so it doesn't set a task form, leaving everyone to play freely.
And as for the task na The Long Night Approaches...
The closest thing to this na were those monsters we encountered last ti in the Lost World, right?"
"Hmm?"
Li Ang raised an eyebrow, the monsters encountered in the Lost World ca from a hopeless world, dark as night, overgrown with terrifying plants like Magic Sunflower,
so strong like Shortface, Desolated Lion, Dann Chenzi, and other extraordinary beings, they also had to cower in an island-like city.
Such a world indeed could pose a life threat to players of Li Ang's level.
"It's possible."
Li Ang nodded, "But here it says The Long Night Approaches, and it seems the eternal night of the Magic Sunflower world has already lasted for hundreds of years, right? The timing doesn't match."
"Hmm..."
Chaichai rubbed her temples in distress, "Ugh... so annoying."
Li Ang glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's still early morning, ten hours until noon.
You don't need to go for this script mission; stay in the real world and wait for
to co back."
Although Chaichai was at the sa level of cultivation and psychic abilities as the "Jidou Yanchi of Nine Underworld," she had only just begun, and her strength was still far from being able to catch up with Li Ang.
If this script mission really could threaten the life of players like Li Ang and those of his level, then Chaichai might not be able to do much after going in.
"Okay."
Chaichai, left to watch the house again, was sullen, thought for a mont, and said, "When you co back, I want to take the Bug Nest Fleet to Southeast Asia."
"Hmm? What do you plan to do in Southeast Asia?"
"Collect fear emotions."
Chaichai simply said, "I just experinted a bit throughout the Bug Nest expansion process; through the spiritual energy network of Bug Nest units, I can intimidate ordinary people.
Whether it's directly warping their minds with spiritual energy or remotely constructing my image with spiritual energy,
I can scare them, but the cultivation progress of "Jidou Yanchi of Nine Underworld" still hasn't improved.
In other words, to cultivate it, perhaps I need to be present on-site."
Chaichai rubbed her dangling hair, saying, "According to intelligence sent back by the frontline scout bugs, the Special Affairs Bureau has downsized many of its overseas bases, and they are paying less attention to the outside world.
Maybe I can take the Bug Nest Fleet, quickly raid a remote backward village in Southeast Asia, reveal my true form, collect the fear, then have the Bug Nest units brainwash those people, clear their mories, and finally return with the Bug Nest Fleet."
"Like this..."
Li Ang thought for a mont, frowning, "Okay, then you go and prepare."
Plans can never keep up with changes; according to Li Ang's original plan, he intended to find a mule, secretly hire so "volunteers."
Many large pharmaceutical companies in the real world, like Gen-Sys Biotech Company, recruit many healthy or diseased volunteers under the guise of drug experints, issuing clinical drugs and observing their changes.
To avoid various laws and moral judgnts from Western countries, and to cut the economic cost of recruiting volunteers, such dical test bases are usually built in remote backward regions like Africa, India, etc.
Gen-Sys Biotech Company's drug research has developed rapidly, and the controversies arising during experints have also grown more frequent, with scandals of chain dical death cases often exposed in so bases.
However, these negative news incidents have beco rarer lately—Gen-Sys Biotech Company has rged with the European Heavy Industry Group, manipulating so small countries, and has already beco a behemoth comparable to the Umbrella Corporation, with overwhelming power.
Such news is often terminated, deleted, and covered up before even brewing.
Even when these horrific cases are exposed, these large companies often reveal celebrity scandals to divert the public's attention—as if the seemingly high-profile entertainnt stars are just pets raised by these companies.
Gen-Sys Company never lacks test subjects willing to do anything for money (usually poor civilians from South Asia, Southeast Asia, South Arica, etc., where money is regarded as more important than life),
Li Ang could hire a batch with money, artificially create a haunted house space for Chaichai to intimidate and collect fear emotions, then brainwash and release these subjects.
The entire process would happen outside the Special Affairs Bureau's sight, leaving no hidden dangers, nor causing any casualties.
But now, even the mule has encountered so trouble, and letting Li Ang go to the Gen-Sys Biotech Company himself, possibly increases unnecessary trouble.
Under the threat of the Star Gate, it's better to let Chaichai directly lead the Bug Nest Fleet, covertly, to collect fear emotions—this might be more efficient.
After making all the decisions, Li Ang logged onto the Ga Square again, urgently purchasing so different model Magic Potions, and issued lower-level psychic abilities training thods to the Bug Nest.
After preparing everything, he quietly waited for the mission deadline to arrive.
As the second hand returned to zero, a familiar feeling of teleportation surged throughout his body.

At the sa ti, the headquarters building of the Special Affairs Bureau,
Dissemination Departnt.
Buzz——
A massive enclosed laboratory lit up with red warning lights, and the piercing sound of an alarm echoed.
Researchers clad in heavy lead-lined protective suits hurriedly pressed buttons on the control platform, adjusted paraters, and shouted into the microphone: "Comrade Bai, can you hear ?"
"Cough, cough!"
The intelligence analyst Bai Haozheng from the Special Affairs Bureau abruptly awoke on the surgical bed.
