Start entering the world…
Bright red blood,
The white church,
The thick mist flying in the ancient city,
The girl who spread her legs for money,
Death before dawn,
And the horrifying chest that was cut open,
Cruel evil flows crimson on the stone slab,
Luring those mysterious creatures out one by one…
…….
Fang Linyan opened his eyes with some struggles.
What appeared in front of him was a wide river. It was twilight at this time. The sun was shining on the surface of the river, and there were many strange-looking large ships moving in the river.
Their chimneys emitted strong black smoke, and there were a pair of huge paddle wheels on both sides of the hull, which continuously rotated to provide power for the ship. The ship movement looked blunt, but the river was also quite lively. Not far away, there was a huge wharf that was handling all kinds of goods. Ships came in and out, and people came and went on the wharf. It looked extremely busy.
The air exuded a faint pungent odor. Inhaling for a few more times would even make one’s respiratory tract feel dry. Obviously, the residents who lived here for a long time had a high probability of suffering from respiratory diseases.
After looking around, Fang Linyan found himself on a second-floor terrace. Underneath him was a beech wooden deck chair. The building was surrounded by low and narrow apartments. The walls were covered with black mold spores. These spores were obviously caused by the damp and water leakage for many years. Looking from the window, the floor of the room was clearly sunken.
On the wall more than 20 meters away at the right corner, there was a notice, but the content was vague.
A large number of illegal buildings built with plywood, wood, and broken furniture were everywhere, then paired with colorful clothes that were drying and the polluted water everywhere, Fang Linyan immediately came to the conclusion that this should be a slum.
“Hmm…? I remember!” Fang Linyan squinted his eyes and shook his head. His brain quickly became sober under the “energetic” buff.
“When steam engines were first applied to ships, they would be equipped with such huge paddle wheels as power. This was quite popular at the time, so people simply called ships powered by steam engines a steamship…”
“The title has continued to later generations. Even if there are no wheels and propellers are used as power, it is still called a steamship. Then, the age I am in now should be at least in the modern 18th century. Phew, there should be guns for sale in this era.”
In the end, Fang Linyan fixed his gaze on the towering church a few kilometers away, which was an old building.
It had a thick wall, stalwart pillars, and a striking tower with a spire. Surrounded by a group of low buildings, it looked more majestic under the setting sun.
Moreover, finely carved decorations could be seen everywhere. The walls were like Lincoln Cathedral with statues of saints and kings of the past. The lattices of the windows were also richer, and the iron spikes of different sizes and rose windows were intertwined. One would be amazed by the craftsmanship by looking from a distance.
“By the way, we entered this world as mercenaries this time, and we obviously entered earlier than those formal contractors. It is not difficult to imagine that they are letting us be cannon fodder or similar mission…” Fang Linyan sighed slightly.
Then, Fang Linyan decisively set himself a goal with the highest priority.
“After officially entering, let’s get a gun first!”
Just as Fang Linyan’s thoughts were stumbling, the wine glass next to the reclining chair suddenly overturned, and the Camden beer inside flowed out. The pale yellow liquor actually squirmed on the oak floor, forming one after another word similar to the typewrite’s standard font. After Fang Linyan read it, the words gradually immersed into the floor.
“Contestant ZB419, welcome to the adventure world.”
“Your status is currently: a conscripted mercenary warrior.”
“You get the main mission: Exploration.”
“Mission Introduction: Before the arrival of time-space turbulence, it will often arouse some unusual energy resonance in the nearby plane world. Please explore the Westminster Abbey area within 300 minutes.”
“Mission Hint: The shape of the unusual energy resonance is similar to the lightning orb, but its attack power is more shocking than that of the lightning orb. However, when this kind of unusual energy resonates, it will cause fatal attraction to the surrounding mythical creatures. These mythical creatures originally hid in the demiplane of the main world, but the attraction of unusual energy causes them to gather from all directions.”
“Mission Explanation: In the process of exploring the Westminster Abbey Area, you will get a real-time progress bar, which will be displayed on your retinas. The progress bar must reach at least 60% to guarantee to pass the mission, but this will only give you the lowest evaluation. The higher the progress, the better the evaluation you will get.”
“Mission Additional Prompt: If you can get close to the unusual energy orb within 1 meter, the joint trial badge on your neck will automatically sample it, then you will receive an extra 3000 common points reward. However, the unusual energy is very dangerous. You can It is understood as a time bomb that will explode at some point in time. The uncontrollable factors mainly come from this.”
“Warning: If you are unable to complete the main mission of this series, 3000 common points will be deducted, but your stay in this world will be extended by 1 week. If you cannot pay 3000 common points deducted by then, the Space will forcibly seize your equipment of the corresponding value. If your equipment isn’t enough to compensate the fine, you will be obliterated.”
“Your appearance has been disguised and can be perfectly integrated into this world. You have learned the mainstream common language of this world. You will forget it after you leave this world.”
Prompt: You got the ability: [Reconnaissance]. This ability is the same as what you got in the joint trial, but the limit on the number of uses is removed, but it will cost 300 common points every time you use [Reconnaissance].
Prompt: You can get the following milestones in this world (including this world and the extended world).
“Poacher: You kill 3 unique mythical creatures in this world and extract parts of their bodies to sell.”
“Self-disciplined: You have a strong willpower that even the Mirror of Erised cannot reflect your desires. Empty your mind in front of the Mirror of Erised so that nothing can be reflected.”
“Touch the Legend: You touch the Sorcerer’s Stone for more than a minute.”
“Compulsive Hoarding: You buy 10 different magic wands at the Ollivander Wand Shop.”
“Diplomatic Messenger: Your relationship with a certain alien race has reached respect. (Alien races include but are not limited to: centaur, giant, goblin, dragon)”
“Awe: You kill or tame 1 of Zouwu/Phoenix/Thunderbird/Kelpie.”
“The Oath Terminator: You destroy the blood oath silver pot.”
“Jack the Ripper: You find out the truth about Jack the Ripper in this world.” (Special)
“Key Prompt: Special milestones are often the kind of legends that are spread across multiple planes, and have different interpretations on each plane. They are well-known and extremely difficult, but the rewards are also very rich.”
“Key Prompt: Because you have the title of scholar and are currently in an adventure world with a civilization level exceeding II, you will trigger the related promotion mission. Please go to the Borgin & Burkes in Knockturn Alley within 24 hours after entering this world.”
“Because your merit points are insufficient, you cannot view the remaining milestone information.”
After Fang Linyan read the information, he realized that he had regained his mobility. A fast beating countdown of 4 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds appeared on his retinas. At the same time, the small yellow arrow that tracked the mission also appeared, pointing straight to the distant towering church.
Fang Linyan was delighted upon seeing this main mission. Because he had the [Drone], which gave him a unique advantage in exploration. It could be said that this mission was tailor-made for him.
As for the 2 things repeatedly emphasized in the main mission, the faster you can complete the mission, the better the additional rewards… Fang Linyan thought it was just fine to follow his own pace.
He was a very rational person. He didn’t forget his identity, that was the temporary mercenary hired by the Noah Space R300. Well, to put it more bluntly, just a cannon fodder.
The main mission assigned to the cannon fodder, cough cough, must be very dangerous without even thinking!
When doing this kind of extremely dangerous mission, if he didn’t do it carefully but to race with others to achieve additional reward… wasn’t he looking for death himself?
Fang Linyan was not an obedient person that would do his best to complete any mission assigned by the Space. All he did was to allow him to live in this cruel world!
In addition, he looked at the prompt of this main mission, and a bold idea suddenly emerged in his mind. If this idea could be successfully implemented in the end, then the benefit was much more than the mission reward!
Although Space regards me as cannon fodder, cannon fodder also has its own plan!
Therefore, Fang Linyan’s first goal set for himself was to get a handy weapon for himself.
It could be seen from milestones that the mysterious side of the world should be quite developed, and there were many strange creatures, such as centaurs, giants, goblins and dragons.
However, it seemed that the intersection between these creatures and human society was not great, otherwise, the boats sailing on the river should not be the original version of steamships, but ships powered by magic.
TL: Well, as early bird, he will also get more benefits right? Mythical creatures, Jack the Reaper… and vampire maybe?
