Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Chapter 228: The First Mission

Zhao Luo looked at Senior Cutie with a tragic look.

I was fooled. That time Elder Gay had also put a bonus on top of the reward.

Looking at Zhao Luo who was sympathizing with his loss Senior Cutie started telling about what had transpired when he had taken on the mission for Elder Gay.

I had just advanced to level five ‘V’ and at that time I was eager to a do a mission just like you. That is when I found a particular D-Rank mission by Elder Gay. With 3 days as the timeline of the mission and the mission itself being so easy that is simply eating vitality pills three times a day for three days straight I thought that it would be a walk in the park.

Senior Cutie’s eyes trembled as images of the past popped up in his mind.

He could see his own past self who had a head full of hair and couldn’t help but barely hold back the tears that had long accumulated in his eyes.

Zhao Luo patted his shoulder as he could somewhat understand the pain of his bald senior.

Losing one’s hair wasn’t small torture. It came with the ridicule of others and the claps of one’s friends on the shiny surface of your head.

It’s okay.

Senior Cutie shook his head and his eyes cleared as he continued his story.

The rewards were still one point or a xin coin but the bonuses were 5 times greater than the ones you see in front of you.

Zhao Luo looked at the D-rank mission poster again.

Yes the bonus of simply participating in that mission was 10 vitality pills of Elder Gay. Each vitality pill is supposed to pump your energy and stamina back to 100% but Elder Gay’s vitality pills were something else.

They not only pumped my energy to the peak but each of the pills caused a small amount of blood pressure to accumulate in the hair follicles of my head. The moment I took the ninth pill on the third day all of my head hair popped out of my head leaving behind a clean surface.

Senior Cutie told Zhao Luo his past with hardened eyes.

But you know what was more shocking.

What?

Zhao Luo replied following along with Senior Cutie’s remembrance of his past. 

The moment my head lost all of its inhabitants Elder Gay screamed.

It’s a success. It’s a success.

Listening to his shouts about his vitality pills being a success I barely held myself back from trying my utmost to kill him. Thus remember don’t fall for his scams or you may end up bald.

Senior Cutie warned Zhao Luo while he could only nod as the atmosphere around Senior Cutie was extremely gloomy.

‘I could have never guessed that he had such a tragic story.’

Zhao Luo mumbled as he looked at Senior Cutie who was acting like he was glancing at the other posters but in reality he was just hiding the tears in his eyes.

Hey come here.

Xiao Yu shouted breaking away the atmosphere around Zhao Luo and Senior Cutie.

Zhao Luo moved towards Xiao Yu along with Senior Cutie and from the other side Pi Hao was also making his way towards Xiao Yu.

Look at this. This should be a good mission.

Xiao Yu directed his hand towards a poster in front of him.

Hmm. let’s see what you got here.

Zhao Luo looked at the mission poster and started browsing it.

[ A-Rank 

17 residents of the entry city had abandoned their homes as they left the Xin Range yesterday but instead of leaving at day they fled secretly at night.

Turns out they were spies from Qi Range.

Further investigation showed that the leader of these spies is expected to be at least a level nine ” disciple of the black tier from the Qi Sect while the others are either trainee disciples or just commoners of the Qi Range.

Mission: Bring them back to the Xin Sect Dead or Alive!

Reward: 20 points and 20 xin coins or gold coins.

Bonus: If the inner disciple of the Qi Sect is brought back alive an additional 20 coins will be awarded to the group.

Disciples: 0/4 ]

Since the end was the last thing Zhao Luo had seen his first question was related to it too.

Can there be a group bigger than 4 too?

No but the number of disciples in a group for an A-rank mission range from 2-4. But since this mission has a bonus thus four disciples will be needed before the group could accept this mission.

Senior Cutie replied to Zhao Luo.

Just good for us.

Xiao Yu replied while glaring at the word Qi which was the Sect where these spies were from.

Looking through the fiery gaze of Xiao Yu Zhao Luo opened his mouth again.

Are we on bad terms with the Qi Sect?

Zhao Luo questioned them and the three looked at him with confusion as a result.

What do you mean? Isn’t it obvious? Everyone knows how evil the people of the Qi Range not to mention the devilish disciples of the Qi Sect.

Pi Hao was the first to lash out.

Zhao Luo could perceive the loathing that Pi Hao had towards the people of Qi Range.

Indeed. Who knows what kind of atrocities they have carried out in the entry mountain before fleeing after their work was done.

Xiao Yu clenched his fist tightly.

Zhao Luo couldn’t even begin to imagine the evil and the atrocities that Pi Hao and Xiao Yu were talking about.

‘If they left at night then that means it was during the tournament. How far could they reached already?’

But will we be able to catch up to them if we accept the mission now?

Zhao Luo questioned as he inspected the mission closely.

Easily. Since it would have taken them hours just to climb down the stairs without alerting anyone.

Senior Cutie responded as he ripped the poster away from the wall.

If the leader is indeed just at level nine of the black tier then we could easily overpower him and the other spies.

Senior Cutie looked at them as their group also had a black tier level nine ” disciple too while Zhao Luo was the strongest even though he was a level eight ‘VIII’ disciple. 

Well this is just one of the five. We need four more.

Zhao Luo told them as they started looking around the black wall.
