Novel Full Chapter 640 - Senior’s Suggestion
640 – Senior’s Suggestion
At the thought of this, Lan Xuanyu did not call for his classmates and quietly left the Mission Center. He knew that he could not rush to accept the mission and had to gain more knowledge.
How could he gain more understanding? Xiao Qi had given him his opinion just now.
He dialed the soul communication device and the call was quickly connected. A lazy voice came through. “Junior, I just came back from a mission. I’m very tired and want to sleep.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “A yellow emblem against an hour of talk about the Sky Fighter missions.”
“That’s a bit too little, I’ve already returned to Eternal Sky City.” Zheng Longjiang’s voice became clearer.
“Two, it will only take you an hour. If I need more time, I’ll add more,” Lan Xuanyu said.
“Although I don’t really care about this little bit of money, I will reluctantly agree to help my dear junior. Wait for me at the entrance of the Mission Center.” Zheng Longjiang hung up.
Although Lan Xuanyu didn’t have many interactions with this senior, he knew him quite well. This senior was definitely greedy for money and had a lot of ideas. A person like him who had been on missions for many years would definitely have a lot of experience and insight.
Not long after, Zheng Longjiang arrived at the entrance of the Mission Center leisurely.
“Hello, senior.” Lan Xuanyu smiled.
Zheng Longjiang looked at Lan Xuanyu, who had grown quite a bit, and said in surprise, “What’s wrong with your soul power? It’s advancing so slowly. You are only four-ring, right? It’s been a few years.”
Lan Xuanyu scratched his head. “I’m a little different from everyone, I’m indeed somewhat slower.”
Zheng Longjiang looked at him from head to toe and said, “That’s true, you’re different from others. Even in the Inner Court, I often hear your name. I heard that you even dared to cheat the Tang Sect. Impressive!”
Lan Xuanyu said indifferently, “Senior, let’s get to the main topic. The time lost just now cannot be counted.”
“Alright. Let’s go to your dorm? It’s not appropriate to be here,” Zheng Longjiang said.
“Alright.”
The two went to Lan Xuanyu’s dorm and sat in the living room. Lan Xuanyu poured a glass of water for Zheng Longjiang.
“Why isn’t it Sea God Lake’s water?” Zheng Longjiang muttered.
Lan Xuanyu rolled his eyes. “Senior, you’re taking advantage of me! Towards your junior, you shouldn’t be doing this.”
Zheng Longjiang chuckled and said, “There’s nothing bad about it. Money is hard earned, I’m under a lot of pressure! All the guys in the Inner Court are so strong, and if I don’t work hard, I won’t be able to keep up. But you’re quite lucky to bump into me today. I’m actually rarely in the academy now.”
Lan Xuanyu was moved and wanted to ask, but Zheng Longjiang interrupted him. “Don’t ask about the Inner Court, this must be kept a secret. I can’t tell you now matter how many emblems you pay me. You can go and find out for yourself after entering the Inner Court.”
“Alright,” Lan Xuanyu said. “Senior, we will be starting the Sky Fighter missions soon, so I would like to ask you. What should we take note of during the mission? Also, what missions do you suggest to complete ? We have to complete at least six compulsory missions, and accumulate a total of 24 difficulty points. Our class has higher requirements.”
Upon hearing his words, Zheng Longjiang was taken aback. “24 points ? The academy’s requirements for you guys are really high! At my time, we only had to have 18. Don’t look down on those six points of difference. In fact, these are two level three missions. I still remember clearly that at that time for us, it was almost impossible to complete a level three mission. It was very difficult. I only succeeded in a level four mission after I reached my sixth year.”
Lan Xuanyu frowned. “Is it that difficult?”
Zheng Longjiang said sternly, “It will only be harder than you think. The reward and points for the Sky Fighter missions are almost universal in the Federation. You can understand that it is the most expensive currency in the entire Federation. At the same time, the points for these missions also have corresponding military contributions. These military contributions can really be put on you. When you enter the military to work, you will be able to directly obtain the corresponding military position. And military contributions are not only useful in the military but also in various major forces. For example, if you are from the Tang Sect, if you want to be the captain of the Tang Sect’s warship, you will need different levels of military contributions for different warships. Understand? So think about it, how could it be so easy to obtain such important points and military contributions? It’s all about risking one’s life. At that time, we really didn’t dare to idle around for even a day and completing missions wasn’t that easy either. It was fine for me but for my girlfriend I still had to help her with most of her missions. Otherwise, she would have had a higher chance of elimination. Today, the percentage of elimination is around 20 percent, and this is taking into account the academy giving some bonus points. Otherwise, the number of people eliminated would only be higher. As for you guys with your 24 points, it won’t be just hard. Pray for your success, junior.”
Lan Xuanyu smiled bitterly. “Senior, I’m not here to listen to you pour cold water on me. I just want to ask you for advice and see what experience you can share.”
Zheng Longjiang said, “I can do that. Firstly, I suggest that you guys don’t consider fourth rank missions in the first half of the year when choosing missions, but don’t choose the first and second rank. Since the academy has set up 24 difficulty points for you guys, they definitely did it by taking into account your abilities. So, in the first half of the year, you can only look at the third rank missions, and in the next half, you can try the fourth rank missions. And when choosing missions, don’t look at the difficulty of the missions first, but look at the distance first. This is because you guys are racing against time. Most of the time, time is the most important. It’s better to have a higher difficulty and save as much time as possible. This way, you can complete more missions. Some missions may seem easier to complete, but it will cost double or even triple the time. Of course, usually, the closer missions are harder than those of the same rank. This is inevitable.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded his head. This suggestion was very important, he had to prioritize the missions close to him.
Zheng Longjiang continued, “The reason why I don’t let you choose those first and second rank missions is because I’m afraid of you guys delaying time. They are easy to complete, but each one would take at least ten days or half a month to complete. And this is for the closest. What if it was far away? A month or even two would have passed. How could there be so much time to waste?”
“Alright, I understand. Senior, do you think a team mission is much more difficult?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
“That’s for sure,” Zheng Longjiang said. “The number of people is proportional to the difficulty. Of course, if you guys really have a team that is extremely well-coordinated, there is a possibility of multiplying your abilities. But a team mission is definitely more difficult than a solo mission.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “I still have an important question. How are we going to go to the other planets to complete those missions? We’re just students and don’t have a warship.”
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Zheng Longjiang said. “There will be a journey planned for the mission. The Federation has a department called the Sky Fighter Division. The people in this department are all elites from all sides, and our Shrek has many seniors in it. It is a department on the same level as the War God Temple, and it is meant to serve the Sky Fighters. After accepting a Sky Fighter mission, they will inform you of the method to head there and how to return. For example, the warship will send you to a nearby place, and when it picks you up, it will wait for you in a safe area. But if you miss it, it will mean that you are dead. So, you must not miss the time. Remember this. It’s best to set a countdown on your soul communication device during the mission. When the time comes, even if you don’t complete the mission, you must return. Safety comes first.”
