Chapter 554 "A Special Mission"
As Colin's thoughts turned, he directly used this "Special Item Drawing Ticket".
soon……
A golden light appeared in sight.
Colin narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw a familiar golden prop information appear before him.
[Name: "Force·Gravity"]
【Quality: Extremely rare.】
[Status: Barely usable (17% complete).]
【Energy level: Class A. 】
[Effect: After holding and activating this card's effect, you will temporarily master the concept of "gravity." The range of effect is 10 meters. Whether this effect is effective depends on the item's condition and the cardholder's proficiency...]
[Note: One of the seventeen gold cards in the "Kingdom of Cards" series. Can be combined with other "Force" series cards for a better effect...]
During the interview, Mr. "Card Master," who did not want to reveal his name, pointed to a distant celestial body and said, "See that moon up there? I just made it..."
[Conditions for status repair: Consume 3,761 points, repair to 19%, and the effect strength will be enhanced.]
[This item has been put into the "storage room", please check it.]
…
"gravitational……"
Colin held the newly acquired gold card with a strange expression... Could it be that these days, the only golden items that can be drawn within the company are these cards?
He thought about it and it seemed that he had been stuck with gold so far.
As for winning the gold card, he wasn't unhappy, but he was no longer the same person he was when he first joined the company, and he knew some inside information about the lottery tickets...
One thing is very clear.
Once a company starts giving out extraordinary props, it must be planning something big.
Especially considering that the task just now gave him more than double the excess points and gold pass certificate he expected, as well as his understanding of the "Ms. Rabbit"'s habit of assigning tasks.
Colin felt inexplicably panicked.
"But I've already given it to you, I can't give it back."
Colin held the gold card in his hand, and with his mind driven, he pointed forward. On a shelf several meters away, a ping-pong ball was surrounded by dust, large and small objects, and even the shelf itself, which quickly pressed towards the ball.
Everything within a ten-meter radius seemed to be affected...
However, when everything was squeezed together, Colin stopped using things.
"You can choose which objects to attract and which not to attract, but it takes a bit of effort to control. Furthermore, the size of the object you're attaching 'gravity' to also determines the effect. The smaller the object, the higher the precision. The larger the object, the simpler it is. However, if you're not proficient enough in using it, the effect might be poor..."
Colin made a quick assessment, and then suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings outside the window.
It was the half-wild hybrid dove that stopped coming because it ate one of its eggs.
It seemed to be chasing a male pigeon, flapping its wings on a green tree outside the window. When it was about to catch up, Colin waved his hand, a force of gravity was generated, and the turtledove flew backwards and fell into his hand.
"good."
Colin grabbed a struggling turtledove that had grown considerably fatter after getting some food from somewhere during the winter. He recalled the feeling of using "gravity" just now. It was still very powerful...
While thinking, Colin threw the dove into the air and pinched out another gold card "Force·Repulsion".
In the blink of an eye, the turtledove flew out, but rolled over halfway with a scream and was pulled back by "gravity". In the process of several rounds, Colin tried many different usage scenarios.
"The powers of these two gold cards can cancel each other out, and can be used in various combinations. However, it requires a high level of proficiency and precision. Also, the effect of 'Gravity' imparting 'gravity' to an object is greatly reduced if there's nothing around..."
Colin stretched out his hand and swung it, pulling the turtledove back and forth like a yo-yo, and used this to quickly understand the gold card.
Of course, if the gold card's condition and accuracy were improved, Colin could theoretically gather stars with a single grain of dust, but right now, exerting gravity on something the size of a lychee seed was beyond his operational limit.
Any smaller and it will be difficult to lock onto the target.
While Colin was conducting experiments with turtledoves, the people passing by in the corridor seemed to be unaware of anything.
After trying for three to five minutes, Colin caught the turtledove again and said, "If you poop on my window again, I'll give you a snack."
After muttering something, Colin, who was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to kill it, threw it away.
"After a couple of days of being stuck in Gravity, you can go to Shana to practice your proficiency, and then try your hand at actual combat in Fog Disaster."
Colin looked at the gold card and began to repair it.
Soon, after spending a total of over 80,000 points and 4 gold mission certificates, Colin restored its integrity from 17% to 49%.
[Status repair conditions: Consume 72140 points, repair to 59%, the effect strength, range, etc. will be further improved.]
"Just go and rob it. I worked myself to death to earn a few points, but after two or three repairs, nearly one-fifth of them are gone..."
Colin looked at the more than 430,000 points he had left and couldn't help complaining.
The repair points of this gold card alone are not something that ordinary employees can afford.
However, after it was adjusted to 49%, the diameter of the effect range expanded to 150 meters, the gravity was much higher than before, and there was also an additional "inherent skill".
[Inherent Skill "Strong Aggregation - Celestial Creation": Grants a super-strong gravitational effect to yourself or an object, attracting all objects around it to achieve protection or sealing.]
Judging from the results, if he wanted to, he could mold a building into a high-density sphere in minutes.
"It's not a fancy ability. The core is 'Gravity'. Forty-nine percent is more than enough. The remaining points should be used as much as possible on 'Time Stasis'."
As his thoughts turned, Colin put it into his pocket with satisfaction and picked up the parchment again.
Then I suddenly noticed something...
There are usually second stage tasks for the first and second stage promotion events, but it seems that they don’t pop up immediately?
"What's going on?"
Colin raised his eyebrows. He hadn't noticed this when he was inspecting the task results before, but now he found that the next big task that should have jumped out normally did not appear.
However, just when I was wondering, the second round of tasks appeared...
[Promotion Qualification Event 2——]
[A special event: This is a special mission. Its specialness lies in its uniqueness. Both the rewards and the content are extremely special.]
"ah?"
Colin was stunned when he saw the task. Why...was it just sitting here?
Besides, isn’t the second stage mission a seven-day trip to Happy Farm?
Why is it different ...
Confused, Colin clicked on the task details and checked the specific content.
…
[Task Description: This task has no specific direction. Completing this event, passing it, and obtaining sufficient scores will grant C-level company permissions.]
[Requirement 1: Before the countdown ends at 21:29 on the 57th day, please repair a gold card item with the highest proficiency to the required level for "Item Unleashed."]
[Requirement 2: Please repair all other "rare" and "ultra-rare" items you possess to a level above 69% before the countdown ends at 21:29, 57 days later.]
[Note: Subsequent requirements have not yet been completed and are being refreshed. Please wait...]
…
“???”
Colin frowned and looked at it again in confusion. The tasks all required him to repair his own props. In other words, the requirements were all for him to improve his overall strength as quickly as possible.
This... Colin thought for two seconds and felt that the "Happy Farm Seven-Day Tour" was likely intercepted by "Ms. Rabbit".
Is it because they think that he is not capable of completing the task now, so they want him to improve his strength before considering carrying it out... or is it because of some other reason?
"And this mission description says that after completing it, as long as you pass, you will be promoted directly to C-level without having to wait in line for qualifications?"
Colin remembered that originally, completing this task would only give him the opportunity to be promoted to Class C.
As for whether or not he could be promoted to C-rank...
It depends on what the requirements are for promotion and whether there are any vacancies. If there are no vacancies, you can only queue up and wait, and you don’t know how long you will have to wait.
However, there is a little joke in hell: with so many senior executives dead, there must be pitfalls everywhere...
Maybe it’s because of this that one can be promoted directly after completing the task?
“I just don’t know if there will be any other enhanced requirements after this part of the requirements is completed.”
From the way Colin looked at the note, it seemed that more than just these two were required.
After thinking about it, he opened the company's internal communication, entered a small group, and sent a message.
"654321: I have completed the first stage of the 'Promotion Qualification Task'..."
As soon as it was sent out, a bunch of people came out of the group and burst into cheers.
"Life mentor Keaiduo: It's finally here! I also completed the 'Quick Ten Rings' mission a few days ago, and now I'm waiting for you, Brother Shunzi, to join me on the 'Happy Farm Seven-Day Tour'!"
"Only pornographic pictures are above everything else: Hurry up, I'm waiting too. I'm just waiting for you, Brother Shunzi, to wave your hand and we'll charge towards that shabby farm together!"
"Happiness is like being a superhero: pull me one, pull me one! I shout 6 very fast!"
"Dayi Chijing Zhou: @654321, Brother Shunzi, wait a minute, I'm almost getting enough points for 'Item Unleashed', wait for me..."
…
A bunch of "elite veterans" in the company all showed up. Although they knew that Brother Shunzi was involved in the mission, there was a high probability that something of the kind would happen.
But at the same time, Brother Shunzi’s clearance rate is guaranteed.
So far, the death rate of those teamed up with him is still "0".
In addition, they have personally experienced Brother Shunzi's fighting ability many times, so even if the "Happy Farm Seven-Day Tour" may be dangerous at that time, the employees are still willing to give it a try.
After all, as veterans, they have handled many cases and can more or less sense that there is a storm coming in the future.
There was no opportunity before, and the second stage task of D-level promotion was too difficult, so many people started directly.
Now that I finally have some hope, I must strive for it.
However, they were soon disappointed to find that Brother Shunzi didn't seem to be on this mission?
After hearing Brother Shunzi's description, everyone was stunned. It seemed that something was not right with the other party's mission...
Repair your own props?
Although there are other C-level qualification tasks besides the farm, Brother Shunzi's is not one of them—
New type?
"Looking at this, it seems certain that 'Ms. Rabbit' sent it specifically to me."
Colin briefly communicated for a while and then closed the chat group.
Then, I opened the task requirements and took a look, and my whole body started to have a headache.
At first glance, this requirement seems not difficult, it's just repairing props.
But the problem is...
"Within two months, all orange and gold items must be restored to a minimum of 69%. If I'm not mistaken, a gold card would cost close to 200,000 points to achieve this. And then there's the 85% 'item unlocking' requirement... Where would I get so many points?"
Colin didn't dare to think carefully about the points requirement, because just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
He currently has a total of 4 gold cards in his hand. Except for "Time·Stagnation" which is exactly at "69%", the completeness of all the others is at "49%".
Then, in addition to the four gold cards, he also has a golden item called "Shield of Fairness and Justice".
Even though it was rented by Shana, she had no intention of keeping it now. Rounding it up, it was roughly equivalent to her own...
Plus various other props.
"In other words, I need to earn another million points in less than two months to complete these requirements?"
Colin opened his mouth. What the hell is the difference between this and "earning a small goal first" in a short period of time?
If you think about it carefully, it’s even harder than the “Fifteen Rings Mission” just now!
but……
If you think about it carefully, there is still a chance if you try your best.
"Borrow some from the official, do some quests, and then there's the weekly trading commissions and the income from quest dungeons... well, it's still not enough."
Colin estimated that he would not be able to sit idle for the time being, and would have to take the initiative to accept tasks as soon as he had time.
But before that, he sent a message to Mr. Wu:
"Are you there? Do you have any extra points from the government that I can borrow? I need them urgently."
"How many?"
"It'll probably only take about a million points."
"How many???"
On the other side of the phone, in a disaster area, Mr. Wu looked at the message on his phone and wondered for a moment if he was starting to lose his ability to read or was hallucinating?
Otherwise, how could you see such outrageous information?
He remained silent for a long time before responding until Colin sent another message to confirm this.
"In the entire Southern Region south of Huainan, there are a total of 249 employees at all levels. From half a year ago to now, their accumulated points have totaled less than three million. Most of them have already been used to purchase items and make certain upgrades. I'm afraid there are less than a hundred thousand idle points..."
Mr. Wu did not respond to whether he would lend the money or not, but instead stated the official situation.
However, from what he said, Ke Lin always felt that Mr. Wu seemed to be hinting at him:
Have some shame...
"Less than 100,000 idle points? Are the officials so damn poor?"
Colin held the phone in his right hand, scratched his head with his left hand, muttered something, and continued typing and editing, unwilling to give up and borrow points.
