Chapter 579: Two-star mission

Yu Beast Center.

After registering, Qiao Sang and Tang Yi went to different windows to wait.

The layout of the Lower Tenth District Yu Beast Center’s mission hall is somewhat different from other Yu Beast Center mission halls. Besides going to a window to find Staff to filter suitable missions, one can also directly find desired missions on the mission board by the wall.

Due to the excessive number of wild Pets, thousands of new missions are released almost every day.

Some long-term unassigned missions are posted on the mission board.

Qiao Sang waited for a long time, and seeing that it would be a while before her turn, she went to the mission board to look.

Mission: Drive away the Hedonistic Python

Mission Location: Tongfu Street No. 102

Mission Reward: 10,000 alliance coins

Mission Level: Two-Star

Qiao Sang looked at a nearby, yellowed mission slip and thought, ‘Is this mission very difficult? It’s just driving away a Pet, and no one has taken it yet?’

At this moment, a woman in a long black dress with her hair tied up high came to Qiao Sang’s side and asked,

“Are you interested in this mission?”

Qiao Sang looked to the side, and after confirming she was talking to her, she said,

“No, I’m just curious why no one has taken this mission?”

The woman’s gaze subtly glanced at Ya Bao, then she asked instead of answering, “You’re not from around here, are you?”

Qiao Sang nodded and hummed in affirmation.

The woman withdrew her gaze and didn’t ask further. She answered the previous question: “The missions posted on this wall are either too difficult, the reward is too low, or like this one, the information is incorrect.”

“Several waves of Yu Beast Masters have taken the mission to drive away the Hedonistic Python before, but they all returned immediately to drop the mission after going there.”

“Why?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.

The woman shrugged: “Because it’s not one Hedonistic Python to drive away, but a group of Hedonistic Pythons.”

The difficulty of these two types of missions is completely different… Qiao Sang was shocked and asked, “Since you know the mission information is wrong, why don’t you change it?”

The woman said indifferently:

“We have too many wild Pets here, and the number of Yu Beast Masters is limited. We don’t have enough manpower to verify the information for every mission one by one. The specific circumstances of some missions might only be verified after a year.”

No wonder so many missions are unassigned. Doing 100,000 worth of work for only 10,000 in reward, anyone would be unwilling… Qiao Sang silently complained in her heart.

For the rest of the time, Qiao Sang continued to look at the mission slips on the mission board for a while.

The woman also didn’t leave, occasionally striking up a conversation next to her.

Suddenly, the woman asked, “I have a mission here, I wonder if you’re interested?”

At the same time, a few Yu Beast Masters not far away looked over and chatted with a sense of schadenfreude:

“Mai Ya is looking for someone to do a mission again.”

“It’s been almost three months, and she still hasn’t given up.”

“If Na Da Peng hadn’t spoken, I would have really wanted to help her.”

“Look at her, she’s even looking for a kid now.”

“This kid clearly isn’t from our Lower Tenth District. I’ve never even seen the Pet in her arms.”

“Mai Ya’s current goal is to find people from other districts.”

“Last month, didn’t she find a guy from District 16? But that person still gave up because of Na Da Peng.”

On the other side, Qiao Sang asked,

“What mission?”

“There’s a Mu La Monster that puts all kinds of trash at my doorstep every day, and sometimes even enters my house to cause trouble. I hope you can help me drive it away,” Mai Ya said in a deep voice.

Mu La Monster, Grass-type intermediate Pet… Information about the Mu La Monster flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind. Her late-night studies during this period weren’t in vain; she had a rough understanding of some Pets on Super Dormant Star.

“Why don’t you just go to the window and ask the Staff to post the mission?” Qiao Sang asked curiously.

Mai Ya’s eyes flickered: “I did, but no one took it for a while, and I don’t really want to wait. I saw that the Pet in your arms seems to be Fire-type, which should be able to counter the Mu La Monster.”

Qiao Sang thought for a moment and refused:

“Sorry, this mission might not be suitable for me.”

For the assessment, the higher the mission difficulty, the higher the score. Driving away a Grass-type intermediate Pet clearly has no difficulty. Even if completed, it probably wouldn’t yield a high score.

“Why?” Mai Ya asked, puzzled.

Because it’s too simple… Qiao Sang directly stated the truth: “I’m still a student, and taking missions here is for a school assessment. There are requirements for the missions; I need to take missions that only D-level Beastmasters can take, at the very least.”

Mai Ya’s eyes lit up upon hearing this. She was indeed a student!

She had noticed the girl when she came in. Both from her demeanor and her Pet, she clearly wasn’t from District 25. Young and a Yu Beast Master, with a Pet she didn’t recognize and a Little Steel Falcon, she was likely a student from the Upper Tenth District here for training.

Children like this who come from the Upper Tenth District for training are secretly protected by high-level Yu Beast Masters, who won’t allow them to be truly harmed.

Only people with such backgrounds won’t be threatened by that Na Da Peng guy!

Mai Ya took a deep breath and said seriously:

“My mission was given a Two-Star rating by the Yu Beast Center, which means it’s a mission that only C-level Beastmasters and D-level Beastmasters can take.”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. After staying on Super Dormant Star for over a month, she had learned quite a bit about the situation here.

At the Yu Beast Center on Super Dormant Star, missions are generally divided into five levels, with five-star missions being the highest and one-star missions the lowest. Based on a Yu Beast Master’s level, they can only choose corresponding missions or missions that are relatively less difficult for their own level.

For example, one-star missions are usually chosen by E-level and F-level Beastmasters.

And Two-Star missions are chosen by D-level Beastmasters and C-level Beastmasters.

Of course, D-level Beastmasters and C-level Beastmasters can also choose one-star missions, but they cannot choose three-star missions or above. This fundamentally prevents dangers encountered during missions.

However, nothing is absolute. Even if Yu Beast Masters take missions that match their abilities, there will still be a certain degree of danger in a place like Super Dormant Star, where wild Pets are everywhere.

Just driving away an intermediate Pet, and it’s actually rated as Two-Star? Qiao Sang was somewhat skeptical and asked,

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true!” Mai Ya took out her phone, operated it for a bit, and opened the mission commission form in front of Qiao Sang:

“If you don’t believe me, you can go to the counter later and ask the Staff.”

Qiao Sang looked down carefully at the mission commission form displayed on the phone screen. It was indeed listed as a Two-Star mission.

But why… Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said,

“I’ll go ask, but I don’t guarantee that I’ll take your mission then.”

“It’s fine.” Mai Ya smiled: “I’m happy that you can consider my mission as one of your options.”

Qiao Sang didn’t speak further. Then she thought of something and asked casually,

“By the way, what’s the reward for this mission?”

…

Ten minutes later.

It was finally Qiao Sang’s turn at Window 27.

She walked to the window, sat down, and handed over her ID card and Yu Beast Master badge.

The Staff, who dealt with hundreds of customers every day, was already numb. She didn’t look at the detailed information at all; she just compared the photo ID to confirm it was the person, and then, following the procedure, asked,

“Are you here to take a mission?”

Qiao Sang hummed in affirmation.

“Do you have any requirements for the mission you want to take?” the Staff asked again.

“The harder, the better,” Qiao Sang said without thinking.

This sentence finally made the Staff show a facial expression outside of her work mode. She looked up in surprise, not expecting a customer to make such an unusual request.

But soon, the Staff returned to work mode and operated on the computer.

Before long, missions available for selection appeared on the screen in front of Qiao Sang.

She quickly browsed, finding no particularly difficult missions.

Originally, in her mind, she would at least have to delve deep into the activity areas where wild Pets gathered to complete missions to truly reflect difficulty.

After all, if it were on Blue Star, the assessment would require going to a secret realm, and the purpose of the mission assessment should also be to hope that those taking the assessment could have more contact with wild Pets, but there was nothing like that here.

Qiao Sang pondered for a while and asked cautiously,

“Can I ask why a mission to drive away a Mu La Monster is rated as Two-Star?”

“Do you know the name of the mission poster?” the Staff asked.

Qiao Sang nodded: “Mai Ya.”

The other party had mentioned it during their earlier conversation.

“Please wait a moment.” The Staff finished speaking and looked down to check.

About two minutes later, she looked up and said,

“This mission has been posted for nine months. During this time, a total of 16 Yu Beast Masters have taken it, but they all eventually gave up. Based on the posting time and the number of times multiple Yu Beast Masters failed to complete it, it was upgraded from a One-Star mission to a Two-Star mission.”

Just driving away an intermediate Pet, and 16 Yu Beast Masters failed to complete it… Qiao Sang realized that this mission was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Might as well take a gamble; anyway, the other missions aren’t particularly difficult either… Thinking this, Qiao Sang made a decisive choice:

“I’ll take this mission.”

“Okay.” The Staff said while operating on the computer: “Please sign on the screen in front and click confirm.”

The screen changed, showing the mission handover form.

Qiao Sang swiftly signed her name and pressed confirm.

…

At the same time.

Yu Beast Center.

Second floor.

Mission Management Department.

The work phone rang.

A Staff member in a black uniform answered the phone.

A clear and articulate voice came from the speaker: “Mission number, 0396268801, drive away the Mu La Monster, has been verified. There are two forces of resistance behind it: one is human, and the other is a group of wild Scale Armor Moths. It is recommended to upgrade it to a Three-Star mission.”

“Received.” The Staff hung up the phone.
