Chapter 035: Saving the Hero Who Fell from His Footsteps
"It's quite desolate there. Some people have mastered magic-like methods. There's a danger of encountering unknown monsters. Food is quite scarce, and there is a special and abnormal climate. So I suggest starting with these aspects. As for restrictions on what you can carry, there are none."
Magic, highly dangerous monsters, food shortages, weird weather… Duncan nodded and sat back down: “I see, thank you for your answer.”
He was not surprised by the talk of some monster.
After coming here, even if the person in front of him said that tomorrow would be the end of the world, he would believe it.
Seeing that both of them were asking questions, Li Ming, a civil engineer standing next to them, hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should ask one as well, so he also raised his left hand and asked an irrelevant question.
"Mr. Bonfire Agent, will we be asked to do those inhumane, bloody and cruel things? "
Tang Ken did not seem to be particularly concerned about this issue. In his opinion, conflicts and even deaths were foreseeable when traveling to another world. Lin Yilan seemed to care, but did not seem to be very resistant.
Colin took in the expressions of several people. If he were to quantify their moral values, it would be Li Ming - Lin Yilan - Tang Ken.
Then, he shook his head and responded:
“Basically not.”
After briefly answering everyone's questions, Colin dismissed the meeting and asked everyone to go back and prepare from now on.
When the last person disappeared in the office, Colin returned to reality.
"It seems that the five events this time did not mention the human body stitching monster. It seems to me that the top crisis actually did not have much follow-up."
Colin sat in a wheelchair and thought about the tasks updated today.
It can be seen that Bonfire Company does not seem to care much about this matter...
But if you think about it carefully, Bonfire Company has already mastered the way to descend across worlds and can even create props related to time.
What it shows is far beyond reality.
The only thing that was uncertain was where it came from and which side it belonged to. Colin did not simply think that this thing was something that could be made by humans on Earth.
If this could be achieved, the Earth would have already entered an interstellar civilization.
After a moment of meaningless association, Colin withdrew his thoughts.
…
The next day, Monday, 11:59 am.
Colin withdrew his gaze from the wall clock, then lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and waited silently for a while. On time, a distant and ancient voice appeared in his ears.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding—”
When Colin opened his eyes, he saw the gray fog slowly receding, and a familiar church interior appeared in his field of vision.
There were no accidents this time.
The dark church, the densely packed corpses crawling on the ground, the stuffy air, and the locked door... Colin looked around and found that everything was not much different from when he left last week.
"My body has returned to normal, but now it feels like it's not my own body. Although I'm healthy, I still feel a little uncomfortable."
Colin looked at his hands. Apart from the pale skin and slightly longer hair, there was almost no sign that he was a patient with "beastiality".
That is, he felt in his heart that the "beastiality" had become even more intensified.
"I have to be careful when using this kind of power, or I might go crazy all of a sudden. The mission is for the company, but my life is my own. I don't want to hear the next successor refer to me as a 'former employee of the company' when he mentions me in the mission."
Colin took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and noticed that his clothes were torn like pieces. He pursed his lips, and luckily he had foresight this time, so he took out his underwear and a set of pajamas from the "storage room" and put them on.
Then, he randomly took off a set of villagers' clothes and put them on himself to cover up the clothes that were incompatible with the style of this world.
"People here don't seem to have the habit of wearing underwear."
The last time Colin was in jail, his pants were empty and he felt a little uncomfortable.
I brought a few more pieces this time.
Then, he silently repeated the name of Bonfire Company in his heart to strengthen the connection, and then prepared to complete the task of establishing the "Bonfire Sacrifice Site" first.
But as soon as I strengthened the connection, I noticed that the "task bar" in my mind kept flashing.
This seems to indicate that the task has been completed.
"That's weird. I haven't started the mission yet."
Colin opened it subconsciously and was stunned when he saw the message inside.
I saw that in the task column where I originally thought there were only five tasks, there were now more than a dozen new tasks, and a small half of them had been completed.
[Event 17 "A breath of fresh air from 'World No. 13'" completed: 20 Bonfire Points. ]
[Event 18 "Observe the building appearance of 'World No. 13'" has been completed: 50 Bonfire Points.]
[Event 21 "The first step of mankind from Earth to 'World No. 13'" has been completed: 20 Bonfire Points.]
[Event 9 "Seeing the life activities on 'World No. 13'..."]
…
"Fuck, can the mission be handled like this? Is this the benefit of having a leader?"
Colin was stunned. It had only been less than two minutes and he had already earned almost three hundred points.
Miss Rabbit was really generous when she helped me apply for side quests!
Most of the unfinished tasks are not difficult and can be easily completed if you stay there for a while.
In other words, the minimum points here alone are 500.
As for those that have some requirements, such as [Event 6: "Find the child of the beastman mother"] [Event 7: "Kill the monster guarding outside the door"], you need to spend some time on it.
Colin looked at those with certain requirements and found the tasks related to those "brave men".
[Event 9: "Save the fallen hero." ]
This mission was somewhat similar to the mission of finding former colleagues during the first advent. When focusing on it, Colin could feel that a signal was being sent at his current 1:30 o'clock position.
It’s hard to say how far the distance is, but it is definitely much farther than the first time.
It might take two or three days to get there even if you travel non-stop.
"Even if they can't live for a month, they should be able to live for a dozen days, so there's no need to rush. However, this time, they can only return to reality after completing event 5. There's no specific requirement for returning after completing the other events ..."
Colin frowned slightly. The remaining time of Event 5 was refreshed. It now had "167 hours, 57 minutes and 31 seconds" to end.
Doesn't that mean he has to stay for seven days before he can return?
Headache...
"Forget it. Now is not the time when I was in prison. I won't be sent to the Holy Healing Church anymore. I won't meet that stupid pastor, and I won't meet that 'him' either. So if I stay safe, I should be fine."
Colin smacked his lips and decided that the only problem was that there might not be enough food.
But if you save it a little, it won't be a problem if you can hold on for seven days.
