After entering the mist gate, wisps of mist surrounded me, like a pair of soft hands...
There was nothing to see around except thick fog.
None of the thousands of employees who had just entered were anywhere...
In the fog, Colin's expression gradually became a little dazed and he stood there motionless.
But at this moment...
“Ding-ding-ding—”
The distant and ancient bell sounded deep in the fog.
After a while, Colin finally reacted and walked towards the source of the sound.
Soon, he saw a "sun" hanging above his head. It was not very big, but the flames falling from it were far more powerful than his own...
At the same time, Colin saw that many strange things were evaporating from his body.
There are strange words burning and screaming...
There are all kinds of strange lights...
The most common one among them is a crimson light that looks like it is wriggling alive.
"Even though I was on fire at the time, I still got hit by a lot of things without realizing it."
Colin looked dazed, enjoying the firelight and muttering to himself.
Just when he could no longer roast anything on his body, he saw a ball of fire flying out from his body and merging into the big flame...
Colin's intuition told him that this was something very important.
However, before I could think about it, the sound of a bell came from somewhere.
In an instant, as if in a trance, everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark.
"I'm back..."
Colin shook his head vigorously, then opened his eyes and saw the familiar ceiling.
He sat up with his elbows on the bed, looking at the scene in the bedroom in a daze.
There seemed to be shouting in my ears, or maybe I could see a strong man rushing towards me with a heroic expression, ready to self-destruct...
This battle, apart from the demons and monsters on the sky, might not be the most high-profile battle he had ever participated in, but it was definitely the one with the most frequent battles...
The fight continued from beginning to end, especially when breaking through the encirclement, they were targeted by a large group of enemies.
The intensive attacks continued...
He himself was also seriously injured, but he was just holding on at the time - if those aliens really caught up with him, he felt that he might not be able to continue fighting.
So it can be said that it was an empty city plan.
But fortunately, I originally thought that I would lie in bed and unable to move for a while after returning.
But this idea obviously underestimates the company...
At this moment, apart from feeling a little tired, Colin did not feel anything abnormal.
"call!"
After being in a daze for a few minutes, Colin's thoughts slowly calmed down, and he took a deep breath before he was truly "back".
He looked up at the time. It was December 22nd, seven o'clock in the evening.
"I entered on the 20th, and I stayed there for about two days. It seems that the time ratio of this mission is one to one."
"Well, I don't know how the fight above us is going now, and whether the company has withdrawn."
Colin thought he took out the parchment and opened it expectantly.
Soon, a comprehensive evaluation of the mission appeared on the flat yellowed paper.
[In this incident, your evaluation is: A. ]
【You completed this event with outstanding performance. 】
[The following is the settlement you received after this event mission: "Bonfire Points × 87351", "Advanced Talent Extraction Ticket × 1", "Advanced Item Extraction Ticket × 2", "Gold Clearance Certificate × 9", "'Disordered Ghost Train' Designated Item Obtaining Ticket × 1". ]
[All items have been transferred to the "storage room", please check. ]
…
"Simple points, guaranteed green talent and purple item draw tickets, nine gold mission vouchers, not bad. Hey, can I get the designated items for the 'Disordered Ghost Train'?"
Colin was surprised when he saw the end of the reward settlement.
But soon, he remembered that as long as he could pass the fifth carriage, he would be able to obtain a designated item.
"This is quite good..."
Colin stroked his chin, thinking back to what he had encountered.
Those people have a lot of offensive items. They can't be said to be completely ordinary, but in terms of quality, they are not even as good as those in the hands of many F-level...
It's like the first few carriages of "Son of Sex and Abuse" were able to hold on. Out of ten points of credit, seven points were due to the defensive item used by street dance, only three points were due to himself, and the remaining ninety points were due to him.
"You are just a piece of trash who can only rely on props to get by!"
Colin made an objective evaluation.
"Defensive items don't seem to work either. As for functional items, there seem to be some good ones, but the level is a bit lacking... I have to choose one with a healing buff effect..."
When it comes to healing items, the train members' item level suddenly improves.
after all……
Nowadays, few employees in the company have similar items, so if you have one, you are top-notch.
After having some ideas, Colin was not in a hurry to start choosing.
After the comprehensive evaluation was dispersed, another prompt emerged.
[Congratulations, you have completed this round of promotion tasks...]
[Your company authority level will be adjusted from "E" to "D", and your company authority will be changed. The following are the details of the change——]
【Storage room: 300L → 1000L (1m³). 】
[Personal resume: "Talent slot" → "Talent slot x 2"]
[Personal resume: Add a "skills" column.]
[Trading Field-Mall: The number of purchasable items has increased. Please open the "Mall" to view the details. ]
[Get a "D-level item drawing ticket." ]
…
"The storage room has finally expanded again..."
Colin glanced over and saw that with this space, he could bring a lot more things.
However, if we go to "World No. 13"...
What one cubic meter could carry didn’t seem to be enough to feed the growing number of bonfire believers.
"I remember Li Ming's alien trio saying before that they would be upgraded from temporary G-level to F-level this week or next week?"
Colin remembered that these people said during the last mission that they would be able to upgrade if they entered "World No. 13" again.
But it seems that the promotion only increases the space from 10 liters to 100 liters, which doesn't make much sense.
"I wonder if Parchment will open chat channels or other functions after they are promoted..."
Colin remembered that their parchment was in the mall and storage room, and nowhere else.
I guess it will be better after it goes up...
Without thinking much about it, Colin opened the "Resume" and took a look.
In addition to an extra "talent slot", he also has an extra "skill" option.
"There are three ways to obtain it. The first is to spend 1,000 points to gain self-awareness. Usually, the one you are most proficient in will become a 'skill'. I am already proficient in it and use it frequently, so why would I need it..."
"The second way is to draw coupons and buy from others. Coupons are the same as items. They can only be obtained by completing tasks. I don't think I've seen anyone selling them. It seems that the requirements for selling are not low..."
"The third method is that if you are familiar enough with someone, there is a certain probability that you can directly steal a skill from the other person. This method is a bit interesting, but the probability of stealing seems to be very low. It is the most difficult of the three methods, so it is meaningless..."
"However, once it becomes a 'skill', it can be used directly without paying a price, regardless of the physical condition. This is not bad. Besides, if the 'skill' is not suitable, there is no cost to change it. I can see if anyone sells it later..."
Colin roughly understood the situation of this thing.
In his opinion, the biggest advantage of this thing is that it gives him the opportunity to obtain a method that he is unlikely to learn by himself without paying the cost of learning.
In this way, "skills" are not completely without merit.
After thinking about it, Colin tried to consume a thousand points. Soon, he saw many light spots flying out from his body and rushing to the vacant "skill grid" on the "personal resume".
The entire "skill grid" was shaking more and more violently, as if something was taking shape.
"If nothing else, the company has always been very attentive in providing special effects in such insignificant places."
Colin's intuition told him that these special effects were dispensable.
However, without thinking too much, about three seconds later, a skill called "Crisis Sense" appeared in the retina.
“Ah, this…”
Colin opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, with "Fatal Insight".
What is the use of this thing?
"No, this is an active skill. It can actively obtain information about all things that threaten me within a 300-meter radius through some kind of feedback. It does not conflict with 'Fatal Insight'. On the contrary, it is like a radar..."
"You can use it once every thirty minutes..."
After carefully checking the content, Colin suddenly felt that these 1,000 points were not bad.
The actual effect is still uncertain, but the range of effect is quite large...
Colin used it once on the spot, and immediately felt a picture like a radar map appear in his mind. There was something threatening to him within a few hundred meters of where he was.
Only a gasoline tanker happened to pass by at a considerable distance...
There is no one else who can fight.
"It's OK. At worst, it can be used as a small map..."
Colin collected his thoughts, opened the "storage room" and took a look at the things inside.
The entire space expanded several times.
There are many more things that can be stored...
However, after opening it and taking a look, Colin's expression suddenly became a little ugly.
"'False Strongman' is almost completely damaged, 'Smiling Corpse Mountain' has lost about 30% of its integrity, and the others, except for those above orange equipment, all have integrity issues. Hiss, 'Analysis Lens' broke after I used it for a while?"
"Wait, the 'Snow Woman' ring... Where's the 'Snow Woman'?!"
"No more?"
Colin was startled, and took out the somewhat broken ring and injected spiritual induction into it.
The "Snow Girl" did not appear as she did in the past...
No one suddenly popped up and sneered at him.
It seems... gone?
This "Snow Girl" is a little different from other gadgets. The "Snow Girl" relies on human nature to exist. If her humanity was destroyed in the previous battle, then...
The effect of the item might still be there, but the one that comes out might just be a monster restricted to being an item by the "Containment Protocol", not a "Snow Girl"...
Just when Colin's heart skipped a beat , a cold breath came over him, making him breathe a sigh of relief.
Yesterday, no, it was because his movements were too big before that the "Snow Girl" was too tired, so she was sleeping...
"He slept like a dead person. He scared me."
Colin breathed a sigh of relief and talked to the "Snow Girl" inside. After making sure there was no problem, he gave her a few pieces of "colorless crystals" and then put them into the "storage room".
Then he looked at the other equipment.
"Except for a few ordinary white equipment that are completely broken, the rest can be repaired. It just costs some money, 20,000 to 30,000 points plus some silver mission certificates..."
Colin opened the messages one by one and looked at them. He felt that there was no big problem.
He has nothing much now, but a lot of money, so anything that can be solved by spending money is not a problem.
But soon, Colin suddenly noticed something...
"Where is my heart?"
Colin suddenly discovered that after he entered the fog door, the heart he had put into the "storage room" was gone.
He took a closer look at the huge space...
No more...
He put such a huge Fire Bearer heart inside , and it's gone!
However, it was at this point that a picture emerged in my mind...
The scene was about when he saw the flames after entering the fog gate, his heart jumped out and merged into the "sun"-like flames...
"Fuck, you took advantage of my bad condition to steal my things..."
Colin's eyes widened.
This... It's not impossible to hand it in, but after handing it in, the price will not be the same as the current task!
How could a mere tens of thousands of points buy his "Fire Bearer" heart?
If this thing becomes a prop, the starting base will be orange!
"I have made contributions to the company and shed blood for the company..."
Colin couldn't help muttering to himself, but at this moment, a message like fire appeared in his mind, which made him feel a little relieved.
The heart is just recycled to extract some information...
When it’s almost time, I can go back to him.
"Besides that, the 'nameplate' seems to have been recycled by the company, so that's not a big deal."
Colin is still relatively confident about the company's reputation.
Generally speaking, it can be done...
The fear is that it won’t speak.
Then, after taking a look at the three different types of lottery tickets, Colin was not in a hurry to draw. He was no longer the same person he used to be. He would not be so anxious to use anything. Besides, it was night time now, and the lottery draw at night was not as good as the one during the day.
That's strange.
"'Premium Item Draw Ticket' activated!"
Colin decisively used one of them.
Soon, a flash of orange-yellow light emerged.
The smile on Colin's face turned a little weird before he could even pull it away...
