Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Widow Yukionna_1
[“E level Promotion Quest” requires the submission of three Silver Task Certificates.]
[Note: In case of task failure, a new Silver Task Certificate must be resubmitted to restart the Trial Task.]
[Would you like to comnce the trial?]
“Three certificates, minus the one I just exchanged for a Gene Compensation, that leaves seven. According to the rules, if I fail once, I have to resubmit one certificate, so I have at least four chances to make a mistake…”
After a mont’s thought, Colin chose to begin the trial.
Following this, an information rolled out on the parchnt: [Solo·Trial Task (1/3)—”Mist Train”]has begun. Please check the [Task Bar]for details.
“Solo type… do one after another, right?”
Colin rembered soone in the Interaction Hall ntioning there were two rounds for the promotion trial from F Level to E Level, one solo and one team.
Without overthinking it, he opened the [Task Bar], the contents of the “Expel the Invaders,” “World Code-13,” among others, and found the specific details of this Trial Task.
[Solo·Trial Task (1/3)—”Mist Train”]
“Description”: An old train that might appear at various abnormal entity points. When it arrives, unsettling grey fog will always envelop the surroundings.
“Requirent”: On October 25th, head to the Old Town South Suburb Black Forest tro Station, board the train arriving at station entrance 1 at 23:15, and stay on until the third stop.
“Tip”: Trust your instincts and do not sit in a seat that feels wrong to you.
“Event Reward”: “Bonfire Points*250”.
“Note”: Missing the boarding ti or not getting off at the specified station as required will be considered a failure in this trial assessnt.
…
“Old Town South Suburb Black Forest tro Station?”
Startled, Colin looked at the familiar na of the Old Town South Suburb Black Forest tro Station and quickly confird that it was indeed the place he knew.
He was not unfamiliar with the place, as the welfare ho where he spent his childhood was near Black Forest Park. He had grown up there until he went to college and left.
“I didn’t expect the mission to be here, but judging by the requirents of the task, it seems like I need to go there myself, and it’s not like the ones before where lying in bed will suffice?”
This was the first ti Colin was taking on a local mission and was curious about what form the task would take here.
His colleagues had seed to say that solo tasks at F Level generally were not difficult, the challenge normally ca later with the team tasks.
I wonder if that’s true…
“Anyway, I definitely need to prepare well. The task requires
to be there by 11:30 PM on October 25th…”
Colin pulled out his phone to check the ti. It was the afternoon of October 24th, giving him a little over a day left.
And the distance from his current location to the Old Town South Suburbs was only about seventy to eighty kiloters.
A few transfers on the subway or a direct bus would get him there quickly…
“Ti shouldn’t be a problem then, but isn’t the task reward of 250 Bonfire Points a bit low?”
Colin pursed his lips, not that he looked down on the amount, but mainly because those points were even less than what he’d get for just breathing fresh air in his “Descent Project.” It felt trivial like a mosquito leg.
According to his colleagues, the Bonfire Points earned after completing all three rounds of the solo “Trial Task” might total around a thousand, not much at all.
Yet, that amount was considered a “high reward” task for his colleagues of the sa level.
However, Colin wasn’t after these points, but rather the level privileges.
He examined the task details a few more tis to check for anything he might have missed or overlooked, to avoid capsizing due to any overlooked information when the ti ca.
After a while, confident he hadn’t missed anything else, Colin started preparing for tomorrow’s task.
First, he ordered his usual pork knuckle rice bowl from the Fujiang BBQ downstairs, then opened the [Interaction Hall]to start searching for equipnt recomndations.
Unfortunately, after browsing around, he didn’t find any particularly good options.
The vast majority of the equipnt was of the sort that was nice to have but not necessary; having it wouldn’t make a big difference, and without it, he wouldn’t feel like he was missing anything.
In the end, after so deliberation, Colin only selected the two pieces of equipnt he thought were decent.
“Widow Yukionna” and one “Decree Book·Fragnt”.
Totaling 2400 points spent.
Regrettably, the “Book of Fate: Fragnt” that he usually kept on hand was not available for purchase this ti, so he had to give up on it for now and wait until he saw it on sale again.
“I wonder who supplies these things, to keep selling them constantly, the supply seems quite plentiful…”
Colin muttered to himself as he opened the Storage Bag to inspect the two items he had just acquired.
The “Decree Book·Fragnt” was nothing more than a yellowed and torn piece of paper that allowed the creation of a temporary, reasonable rule within a thousand square ter radius. Everyone, friend or foe, had to abide by it, or they would trigger severe punishnt.
The specific nature of the punishnt, however, remained unclear.
“Widow Yukionna,” on the other hand, was a silver ring inlaid with a gemstone the size of a thumbprint, resembling an eye.
It felt cold to the touch, and within that thumb-sized gemstone, it appeared as if a pair of vicious eyes was staring right at him.
Colin curiously examined it for a while and then slipped it on his left index finger.
Imdiately after, he felt the ring establish a certain connection with him, allowing him to summon a guard nad “Yukionna” at any ti.
“One 24-hour use, with a maximum duration of 30 minutes. The task ti is 11:00 PM tomorrow, and it’s only 3:00 PM now, so I could give it a try…”
After pondering for a mont, Colin raised his left hand and focused his thoughts.
Suddenly, the temperature in the bedroom plumted, ice mist floated in the air, and a hazy yet strikingly beautiful snow-white figure erged from the mist, inciting an urge to draw nearer.
At the sa ti it appeared, Colin gained an additional perspective in his mind, as if seeing himself sitting on the bed eating pork knuckles from another angle.
And faintly emanating from the snow-white figure was a vague malice.
It seed to harbor a great animosity towards the person commanding it at this mont.
But it was restrained and unable to free itself, compelled to submit to Colin’s manipulation.
After summoning it, Colin began receiving more detailed information in his mind.
“It lacks a physical form, uses stamina while active, and its effects include giving
resistance to freezing. It can spray ice, create extensive ice fog, provide an additional visual perspective, and can be controlled telepathically like a drone. It can even carry
for dual flight…”
“It can also inhabit enemies. Once touched by it, it’s like being subrged in liquid nitrogen…”
“The downside is that if the summoning exceeds thirty minutes, it gradually loses control. Once it surpasses an hour or any long maximum limit, the ring’s restraint fails, its entity will escape the ring, and its first action will be to kill the person who controlled it.”
