638 – Mission Center
“This semester, this is the only thing you will have to do. In the process of completing the missions, all aspects of you will naturally be tempered. The academy will also pay attention to the entire process. All of your soul communication devices will be upgraded. In the process of completing a mission, everything will be recorded. Once there is danger, the academy will try its best to think of a way to save all of you. However, there is no guarantee that it will be successful. So, the most important thing is to rely on yourselves.”
Xiao Qi said, “The basic introduction is only so much. According to my experience, for the first and second missions, I hope that all of you will choose some simple ones to carry out. You will first experience what the compulsory missions are and then increase their difficulty. You can also complete more low-level missions to reach the average requirement. However, a year isn’t a long time. You have to calculate the time on the road and there is a possibility that something might go wrong.”
Lan Xuanyu raised his hand once again and Xiao Qi nodded at him. Lan Xuanyu then said, “Teacher Xiao, our cla.s.s is a team. Does that mean that each of us has a total mission difficulty of 24, and each of the six missions has a difficulty of 4 ? Then, the total is 24 multiplied by 33. This is the overall difficulty. If one of us has more than 24 points, can we give the extra points to the other students?”
Lan Xuanyu’s question immediately attracted the attention of the entire cla.s.s. Xiao Qi was slightly taken aback. “There are no rules that cannot be enforced in the academy, but there are no rules that can be enforced either. I can ask about this and confirm it with the Dean.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Teacher Xiao, help us fight for it then. Didn’t you say that you hope that everyone can pa.s.s? Then, we will work hard together and try not to waste any points. We will have a higher chance of pa.s.sing.”
His meaning was very clear. If the capable students completed more missions, the additional difficulty points would be given to the weaker students. This way, everyone would be able to get through together.
Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes and said, “Alright, I will make this request to the Dean. After all, the difficulty level for us is higher than the previous fourth years. But I have to remind the students in our cla.s.s who are slightly weaker. Do you really hope to pa.s.s thanks to the difficulty points earned by other students? What I hope is that all of you are thinking of completing more missions and giving your points to others. Remember, no one will help you forever. The only one you can rely on is yourself. Alright, let’s go now. I will bring all of you to the Mission Center to register. After that, all of you can start choosing missions. In the coming year, there will be no cla.s.ses and you will be completing compulsory missions.”
That’s right, there were no cla.s.ses this year. What they needed was to acc.u.mulate enough difficulty points.
The Mission Center was indeed in a small building behind the Exchange Center. It was a very inconspicuous small building. Compared to the huge Exchange Center in front, this place appeared somewhat shabby.
But upon entering, Lan Xuanyu and the rest understood the importance of this place.
There were a total of four elevators in the small hall and they were all downwards. After verifying Xiao Qi’s id, they were able to take the elevator separately.
The elevator descended and according to Lan Xuanyu’s spiritual perception, it descended about 20 meters before they arrived at a s.p.a.cious hall.
They had just walked out when Lan Xuanyu saw a familiar face.
Zheng Longjiang rushed over and b.u.mped into them.
“Lan Xuanyu?” Zheng Longjiang looked at him in surprise and said, “You guys are finally starting the missions ?”
Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “That’s right! Senior, long time no see.” Ever since that compet.i.tion, he had not seen Zheng Longjiang for the past few years.
Zheng Longjiang didn’t change much and didn’t look any different from before, but the feeling he gave Lan Xuanyu was that his aura had become much deeper. At least, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t see through his cultivation at all. He must have improved quite a bit.
“Junior, do your best! I’ll wait for you in the Inner Court.” Zheng Longjiang smiled and patted Lan Xuanyu’s shoulder before entering the elevator.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu saw that the hall before him was very s.p.a.cious. Compared to the top, the bottom was much bigger.
There were large screens in front of them and each screen had a specific logo on it. The contents of the screens were also rolling.
Xiao Qi walked to the front and got everyone to gather.
“This is the Mission Hall. In the future, all of you will receive your missions here. These missions are not exclusive to our Shrek Academy. Other Mission Centers like this are also present in the Spirit PaG.o.da, the Tang Sect, the War G.o.d Temple, and the Federation’s military. All of you can receive missions. The mission system is interconnected. For example, there are some missions that many people can accept, and there are also some missions that are unique. Once they are taken by others, before they are completed or fail, others cannot take them. Completing a mission will earn you points. The points can be directly exchanged for emblems in our Shrek Academy, and you can also exchange for something equivalent in the other places. For example, all of you can use your difficulty points to exchange for Spirit Souls in the Spirit PaG.o.da. These missions are interconnected. At the same time, other than the points, there are also corresponding military achievements. These points can be acc.u.mulated. After all of you graduate from the academy, you will enjoy the benefits of the Federation’s military rank. Even if you don’t join the military, you can still enjoy it.”
Mission points actually gave military contributions? This surprised all the students.
Xiao Qi smiled. “The missions that you guys are about to complete is for the sake of the Federation, and the Federation will naturally not let you guys do it for nothing. The heroes who once sacrificed so much for the Federation might not receive any rewards in terms of reputation as the news is blocked, but for themselves and their families, there will be many preferential treatment and rewards. The Federation has a very systematic rule regarding this, so you guys don’t have to worry at all.”
“Teacher, how do you acc.u.mulate the difficulty points?” Tang Yuge asked.
Xiao Qi said, “Different difficulty, different points. The difficulty for two missions in the same category is different as well. So after each mission, there will be a corresponding point mark. In the academy, the compulsory missions are based on the difficulty of the mission. This is different from points, it is our academy’s own requirement, and points are universal. I will bring all of you to register later. Your soul communication devices have to be upgraded here. You can take on missions starting from tomorrow. I’m mainly bringing all of you to take a look today.”
As he spoke, he brought everyone towards those big screens.
Under each big screen, there were many operating platforms. Xiao Qi pointed at the control console and said, “When you accept the mission, you need to scan your soul communication devices. After confirming your ident.i.ty, you can proceed with the mission selection. If you are successful, there will be a display. If you are not successful, it means that someone has already received the mission. Some team missions can be accepted by the team leader and then other members will be added automatically into the team through the system to meet the number requirement.”
“What all of you need to take note of is that some missions have a time limit. Once these missions exceed the time limit, even if you complete them, it will be considered a failure and you won’t get any points. At the same time, after the mission ends, there will be a special complaint system. For example, if you encounter any problems or difficulties, you will be evaluated according to the communication device’s recording. If the difficulty of the mission exceeds the original difficulty, there will be additional points. If any of your teammates encounter any problems during the mission, such as causing harm to your teammates, there will be a corresponding punishment. So all of you must protect your soul communication device. This is the most important thing during the mission.”
