Chapter 255: Worse Than One Person!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
News of Na Stolen spread like wildfire as many mbers wanted to team up with him. However, Moss rejected them because he had to complete the mission alone to beco a diamond mber.
Moreover, he also recalled what Red Spider said about the people of Buried City being unpredictable. He had lived in Buried City for a month and a half and knew the mbers only wanted to benefit from his strength.
No one would feel at ease leaving their backs exposed to their teammates if they were unpredictable. Instead of worrying about this, it would be better to complete the level ten mission alone.
After learning soone had accepted the King of the Land mission, the City Lord, Mundus, imdiately announced he would heavily reward anyone who completed the level 10 mission.
The announcent caused quite a stir among the mbers.
“Have you heard the announcent? Anyone who kills the S-rank Magical Beast during the mission will receive the City Lord’s rewards!”
“Of course. It’s a rare opportunity, after all. I’ve also accepted the mission, and you should too.”
“No one has accepted this mission for over two years. Now that soone has finally accepted it, how could we miss it?! Let’s charge ahead!”
“You’re right. It’s easy to benefit from this, even if we don’t et the S-rank beast.”
Many recognized this mission’s importance and ford teams to participate.
…
Just as Moss was about to set off for the Mountain Region’s mission location, Landis ca looking for him. “Young man, I don’t know what it looks like in that mission since no one has accepted it for over two years.”
Landis’s eyes flickered with excitent as he looked at Moss smilingly. “So, I want to co with you. What do you think?”
“To be honest, old man, I’m doing this mission alone to beco a diamond mber,” Moss said.
During Moss’s ti in Buried City, the older man was the only one Moss could trust, so he wanted to be honest with Landis. However, he changed the topic, “We can travel together, old man. I can also help you if you need my help.”
Moss knew everyone would want to go since it had beco an open mission. He could get the resources he needed and give so to Landis if Landis ca along. That way, he could repay the older man’s kindness.
Landis was shocked by what he had heard. He looked at Moss for two seconds and said smilingly, “So, you have a goal with this mission, huh? Don’t worry. I’ll go with you, but I won’t get in your way so you can complete the mission yourself. I only want to watch the show and pick up so scraps. Most importantly, I’m afraid of being lonely.”
“All right, let’s go, old man,” Moss suggested.
Landis nodded and walked in small steps.
Moss chatted with the older man as they walked toward the mountain range.
…
Since the mission was famous and favored by the City Lord, many paid attention to it.
Almost everyone who did not participate in the King of the Land mission stopped what they were doing and went to the mber gathering point to watch the show.
People filled the Mountain Region’s entrance, mission desks, taverns, cafes, tea houses, etcetera.
Although the people could only follow the mission progress through notifications, it was a great pleasure to be with many others and chat about the progress.
A middle-aged man with a goatee disdainfully pointed at his mbership card. He complained to his companion dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, “Why do you think Buried City hasn’t made live broadcasts for so many years?”
The sunglasses guy replied while holding a peanut, “Well, I think it’s because of privacy concerns. Buried City is a relatively private place, as the secrecy work is excellent. Even after many years, my family and I don’t know much about this city’s origins.”
“You’re right, but almost every idle mber has gathered to watch the show since the King of the Land mission attracted so much attention. It would be great if we could see what was going on.” The goateed man sighed.
The man in black heard this and whispered, “I heard many bought teleportation scrolls and went to the mission area to watch the show. They’ll relay footage of the mission.”
The goateed man sighed and helplessly shook his head. “What would happen if the managent found out?”
“I heard the City Lord acquiesced this ti as long as no one leaks the footage,” the man in black could not control his excitent.
“That’s great!” The goateed man raised his wine glass. “Cheers!”
The tavern owner was delighted when he inadvertently heard about the relayed footage. He approached the two, leaned over, and asked lowly, “I say, guys, is what you said just now true?”
The man in black remained silent but smiled and nodded.
The tavern owner suggested, “Then, instead of adjusting my radio to hear about what is happening during the mission, I can turn on the big television so we can all watch it. Wouldn’t that be more exciting?”
“Okay, search for the LSZB-10 channel later. A group will use that channel to relay video footage of the mission.” The man in black also beca excited.
Soon after, the big television in the middle of the tavern displayed footage of the King of the Land mission.
A short chubby man in the tavern’s front row suddenly exclaid, “Look, every team has entered the mission area!”
So who were drinking and chatting just now glanced at the television.
“At least ten teams are going on this mission!”
“Of course! The City Lord announced he would reward anyone who completes the mission, so most will flock to gain hefty rewards!”
“I’m not willing to join in the fun. The gains won’t be worth my losses if my life is at stake!”
“Speaking of which, Na Stolen is impressive. I heard he’s only been in Buried City for a few months, yet he already dares to accept a level 10 mission.”
“Just because he perford well in most missions doesn’t an he can escape unscathed from the King of the Land mission.”
“Weren’t there genius-level mbers who tead up to complete the mission two years ago? Still, what happened in the end? They didn’t complete the mission, and more than half of them died.”
“He’s right. No one has accepted this mission since then. Even if the City Lord proposed to reward diamond mbership for completing this mission alone, no one has accepted this mission before today.”
…
The atmosphere in the tavern was perfect as everyone chatted and drank rrily.
However, a cry of surprise from the tavern’s southwest corner interrupted the liveliness, “D*mn! Na Stolen brought soone with him!”
“That’s not right. It’s that old beggar from Novice Village!” The short and chubby man from the tavern’s front row stood up and pointed at the screen. His jaw almost hit the ground from shock.
The tavern burst into an uproar as soon as the chubby man said that.
“That two-person team is even worse than doing the mission alone!”
“Even one person can’t complete the mission, let alone two entirely different people!”
“I heard Na Stolen rejected many others, but he chose that beggar?! I can’t understand Na Stolen at all!”
“Maybe Na Stolen realized this mission’s difficulty and looked for a scapegoat to bla it on!”
The people in the tavern had various opinions. So who thought highly of Na Stolen had lost all hope.
