Chapter 457: The Second Grade B Officer
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This news was a little too sudden. Even the Great Mechanic Han could not react to it instantly. He thought about it and realized that Aros.h.i.+a had been at Grade C+ for quite some time. With her growth speed, it was indeed about time for her to enter Grade B.
In Aros.h.i.+a’s A ranked chain mission [Reboot], the requirement of the first round was to reach Aros.h.i.+a and help her reach Grade B. The rewards were very rich—5,200,000 experience and one chance of a random reward. Han Xiao just happened to be in need of random reward chances, so this was an unexpected, pleasant surprise.
Aros.h.i.+a was very special. She said that she had recently dreamed of many familiar images and that those might be the memories she lost. Every time Aros.h.i.+a died, her memories would reboot, and she would forget everything before that. After so long, it was unknown how many memories she had lost.
“When you step through the doors of Grade B, there might be a special change,” Han Xiao said.
Due to this sudden situation, Han Xiao changed his destination and made the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p stop at the nearest small planet.
Aros.h.i.+a was not a player. Plus, she was an Esper that had no certain pattern. Her cla.s.s advancement might release a powerful force. For the sake of being cautious, he did not let her advance her cla.s.s in the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.
…
Stepping onto the ground, Aros.h.i.+a closed her eyes. Her body slowly levitated up, and beams of bright light shot out from her body, causing an energy tide in a range of a few hundred meters.
Whoos.h.!.+
Violent winds stirred up stone and sand, and the energy wave kept expanding like a ripple.
Around the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Han Xiao and the others watched Aros.h.i.+a go through cla.s.s advancement from afar. Their hair was dancing in the wind as sand and dust blew on their faces.
“It’s quite a huge scene…” Herlous raised his hand to block the beams of light.
“She’s very special. She was around Grade C as soon as she awakened, and there’s an enormous amount of energy hidden in her body. Breaking through Grade B is a piece of cake for her.” Han Xiao nodded.
Herlous’ face twitched. “Am I the only one who feels that breaking through grades is not easy?”
The oldest Volga patted his shoulders and said meaningfully, “Be satisfied with what you have.”
Like the expanding sea, the light energy quickly filled up the s.p.a.ce within a few hundred meters. That area became a sea of light. It was as if Aros.h.i.+a’s powers far exceeded before.
Ohm!
Suddenly, the light stopped expanding and rapidly retracted to the center many times faster than before. A countless number of light beams rushed into the middle point, making a loud noise like the howling wind. The light converged into a tornado, and the center of it got brighter and brighter. However, when it reached its maximum brightness, it looked like it suddenly got darker.
All the energy was infused into a point. That point suddenly enlarged and exploded into light dust, turning into a human figure of light without a face. It was covered in ripples of energy waves and golden electric currents.
Then, under the effect of Aros.h.i.+a’s Esper power, the energy followed a certain unknown principle and turned into matter. Aros.h.i.+a’s body appeared again as she slowly landed on the ground.
Han Xiao took out the energy level detector and aimed it at Aros.h.i.+a. The energy that she was emitting now had exceeded the lowest Grade B energy level standard.

First round of [Reboot] completed.
You have received 5,200,000 Experience.
+5 Risda Favorability.
You have received Random Reward x 1.
_____________________
This Risda definitely has an unusual relations.h.i.+p with Aros.h.i.+a, but who is he?
Holding back his joy, Han Xiao temporarily left the random reward in the interface, walked to Aros.h.i.+a, and asked, “How are you feeling?”
Aros.h.i.+a checked herself and said, “I can control more energy now.”
“Other than that?”
“I saw more familiar images, way too many… my head is hurting a little.” Aros.h.i.+a frowned.
Han Xiao looked down, reached out his hands, and rubbed her temples, easing her pain. “What else are you feeling?”
“I don’t know. Some places that flashed past in my memories seem to be summoning me. I have a feeling that if I go to these places, I should be able to recall some things…” Aros.h.i.+a moved her fingers in the air and drew out the images of different locations in her memories with light energy.
Han Xiao raised his brows. Initially, Aros.h.i.+a was not curious about the memories that she had lost at all, but after she entered Grade B, she seemed to have awakened a more human side of her. She had new desires, and her emotions were richer.
Could it be that as Aros.h.i.+a became stronger, her secrets would be gradually exposed?
At this time, a new notification popped up on the interface.
_____________________
[Reboot]
Second Round: According to Aros.h.i.+a’s descriptions, head to the various locations in her memories and help her look for the pieces of her memories.
Current Progress: 0/?
Reward: 10,300,000 Experience, +10 Risda Favorability
Failure Condition: Aros.h.i.+a’s death
_____________________
The second round is to help her find parts of her memories? Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled. Being this special, Aros.h.i.+a’s origin was definitely extraordinary. If she found her memories, he was not certain whether it would be a good or bad thing.
He felt that Aros.h.i.+a was good the way that she was. If she recovered her memories, her personality would definitely change. This current state between them would most likely not be able to carry on.
Han Xiao was a little hesitant.
Maybe keeping things as they were and not doing this mission was the best choice.
No matter what, Aros.h.i.+a was a very decent friend, and she was now the second Grade B officer in the mercenary group. If she continued to grow, she would be of more use.
With three Grade B Supers, including Han Xiao himself, the rating of the mercenary group in the alliance would increase, and he would have another strong comrade.
However, this should be Aros.h.i.+a’s personal storyline. Even if he did not do it, she might remember more memories as time went on. By then, she might choose to leave nonetheless. When thinking this way, Han Xiao thought that he might as well do the mission and see how things went.
This second round of the mission was like treasure hunting. Aros.h.i.+a could only briefly describe the images, and they still had to find the actual locations of those images. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, there were multiple locations. Although there was no information regarding this mission in his previous life, Han Xiao remembered quite a number of places, so he would not be completely clueless
This mission is definitely impossible to complete in a short period of time. Sigh, I shall look for it slowly then. Promotion is the most important matter right now.
Han Xiao patted Aros.h.i.+a’s back and told her to get back to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p with the others. The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p then took off and left the planet.
There was still a random reward chance in the interface. Han Xiao rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath, and activated it.

He subconsciously held his breath in trepidation.

Han Xiao’s eyes widened in shock.
Wow, they were all complete tras.h.!.+

Han Xiao almost wanted to smash the table.
He had caught a glimmer of hope, and the next second, it was extinguished. The highs and lows of life were too exciting!
