Chapter 17: An Impossible Mission

“S-rank?”

The one asking this question was not only Sylvia. About 2 kilometers northwest of the small building where Xiao Fen and the others were, that handsome young man whom Sylvia called Li Ruran was also asking.

The captain could check the overall mission progress at any time by consuming Gene Points. Whether it was a Main Quest or not, as long as the mission progress was generated in this Trial World, it could be checked by the squad captain.

At this moment, Li Ruran was staring deadly at the holographic Projection in front of him, the corner of his eye twitching slightly.

After a while, he closed the Projection, turned his head, and asked, “What is going on? Did that escaping guy feed his brain to a pig? He raised the side quest level so high that none of us can complete it, let alone the Main Quest. Is that bastard planning to stay in this Trial World for the rest of his life?”

“Perhaps that is exactly his purpose, Young Master. If I were him, already facing a desperate situation, I might make that choice too. Raising the difficulty to a level where none of us can complete it means the mission can never end, and we would have to accompany him to suffer in this Trial World for a lifetime.”

Li Ruran’s eyelid began to twitch violently again. After a while, he asked gloomily, “Can’t my grandfather forcibly open this Trial World?”

The Awakened Council of Elders must communicate with the World Tree to open a Trial World that is currently undergoing a mission. If it is just the patriarch alone, he absolutely cannot open this Trial World by himself. More importantly, even if they could open this Trial World, Young Master, do you think those people would let this opportunity slip by?”

Li Ruran suddenly clenched his fist and said hatefully, “My two dear brothers would definitely not let this opportunity pass. Damn it, we came to kill a pig but got bitten by the pig instead. Sayena, do you have any suggestions?”

The person who had been hiding in the shadows shook his head slightly and replied, “No, there is no way right now. We can only wait and see. If he can complete this S-rank mission by sheer luck, then we can benefit from it too. If he can’t complete it, we will have to risk a few lives to finish the Main Quest and forcibly request the World Tree to settle the accounts.”

Li Ruran sighed, glanced at the mist outside the window, and asked in a low voice, “3 lives, is that enough?”

Sayena was quiet for a moment before answering, “Enough. Add the Berserk Potion to their food, combined with my Heart Confusion ability. Push them to the front to attract attention, and we attack from behind. If we move fast, we can solve it. The key is, we must save enough Gene Points now. Without Gene Points, we will be at a disadvantage in the final settlement.”

Li Ruran turned his head to look at the sky outside and said, “Then go kill those Monsters, collect keys to open Gene Points. Go now.”

At the same time, Sylvia looked at Xiao Fen and asked, “What is the mission objective?”

“Under the cover of Lux, kill 100 ‘Stitched Monsters.’ All this must be completed before 3 a.m.”

Sylvia frowned and said, “That is really an incredible mission. Let’s not talk about how high the level of the Stitched Monsters is, the key is, I don’t even know where the Stitched Monsters are.”

Xiao Fen thought for a moment and said, “I do have an impression. The ones fighting the Web over there are probably Stitched Monsters. The problem now is, how do we get through the blockade of this Web to get there?”

Sylvia looked up at the sky outside the window, shook her head, and answered, “There won’t be a blockade anymore. I should say, from the moment you triggered Radiance of Lux, these Webs are no longer our enemies. Even if you hadn’t accepted the Radiance of Lux mission at the time, it would be the same. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to bring you back here just now. The so-called support from Lux refers to these Webs.”

Xiao Fen was slightly stunned. He suddenly remembered the back cover of that book. It seemed to have an abstract pattern, like a sun radiating light in all directions, but at the same time, it looked like a Web looking down at the ground from the sky.

” historically, Lux was a high-level Awakened. It is said that his ability was to create strange Webs. Although the various information about the traitor back then has been sealed by Yggdrasil, many Trialists believe that the Webs in the sky now are mostly related to Lux. It’s just that we haven’t found a way to communicate with these Webs.”

After thinking for a moment, Sylvia continued, “In the Trial World, as soon as it is 8 p.m., these Webs will appear in this block. Whether friend or foe, anyone who enters the block and walks on the streets will be killed by the Webs.”

Xiao Fen was slightly stunned and asked, “Since you already knew this, how did you get wiped out by the Webs?”

“There is someone named Sayena among the Li Family’s people who can use various wavelengths to interfere with Human brain thinking. Our squad was interfered by him and walked into the block controlled by the Web ourselves.”

Xiao Fen nodded and said, “Alright, we still have a chance to talk about the past things in detail. The first thing to do now is to go to the front line and complete our mission as much as possible.”

Sylvia nodded and jumped down the small building from the window first. Watching Xiao Fen, who also landed neatly after a few flips, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said, “I didn’t expect that you would actually think about completing the mission first. That is 100 Stitched Monsters. Even if you have enough bullets in your hand, don’t expect to complete it before 3 o’clock.”

Xiao Fen ran forward first. For him, a road he had run once would leave a very deep impression. Therefore, although there was heavy Mist ahead, Xiao Fen was still extremely fast.

This time there was no threat from overhead, and no difficult moves were needed; speed was enough, so Xiao Fen ran very easily.

Regarding Sylvia’s words just now, Xiao Fen answered after a while, “If we don’t do it, it will never be completed. No matter what it is, if we compromise because of difficulty before even doing it, then we will eventually be able to do nothing.”

Sylvia let out a “Heh” and followed quietly behind Xiao Fen. The two maintained a tacit silence in the Mist and moved forward quickly. In less than 5 minutes, the two ran to the intersection where Xiao Fen was just now.

Over there, the fierce battle was still continuing.

Dozens of ropes were thrown out tirelessly one after another, nailing huge Stitched Monsters to the ground again and again. The killing efficiency was amazing.

However, compared to just now, the strange fire on the ground had been extinguished. This caused the Stitched Monsters behind to no longer be blocked. Therefore, even though the ropes were still gushing out, the defense line had begun to retreat gradually.

Xiao Fen stood on the street, feeling a sense of sudden realization in his mind.

The reason he was made to receive supplies in the building behind him at that time was to let him start the Radiance of Lux mission right then and complete this mission under more favorable circumstances.

However, he didn’t know these situations at all at that time and ultimately gave up starting Radiance of Lux at the first opportunity. This result made Xiao Fen feel like he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
