Chapter 273: Five-Star Mission

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“This is?” Qi Wei’s ore collection system had already completed 90% of the illustrations. She did not know where to start with the remaining rare ores.

She was still short of five ores to collect the illustrations and obtain the system’s reward.

What Mcgee handed to her was one of them, the ‘shadow stone’.

“I haven’t asked you yet. Do you get any rewards from the ore collection system?”

Although the shadow stone was a precious material, Mcgee might be able to use it to forge equipment. However, if he wanted to encounter Shadow Demons or Shadow-type familiars again in the future, he did not know when, so he might as well use it to fulfill Qi Wei’s wish.

After fighting with Shui Yue, Mcgee found out that the awakening system would provide rewards that surpassed ordinary systems.

After passing the shadow stone to Qi Wei, Qi Wei closed her eyes and the shadow stone disappeared from her palm.

“I’ve submitted the information of the shadow stone to the system. There are three more shadow stones in the world on the Shadow Continent.”

“The Shadow Continent?”

“Yes, the map shows that the Shadow Walkers on the Shadow Continent will drop the shadow stone ores,” Qi Wei explained.

“It should be a map that hasn’t been opened yet.” Mcgee understood now. No wonder Qi Wei knew all the ores in the world like the back of her hand. As long as she recorded the origin of the ores, it would be recorded.

Qi Wei said, “Actually, in addition to obtaining information about the ores, there is another use.”

“Both Demon Fox and I will be affected by the ore collection system’s illustrated handbook. For example, the shadow stones that we just submitted can increase our agility by 10 points. At the same time…”

Qi Wei also felt a little incredulous when she checked the attributes. “At the same time, there is a 5% chance of causing two damage.”

The majority of the stones submitted in the past were to increase attributes. Stones with special skills were still relatively rare.

“That’s good.” Mcgee smiled. Since the shadow stone was temporarily useless to him, it was worth it to increase Qi Wei’s survival capital.

“I’ll return your favor.” Qi Wei did not want to owe someone a favor for nothing, even though Mcgee acted as if it did not matter.

The monsoon season was already halfway through, and the bitter team battle had already been experienced. Next, it was about to come to an end.

What Mcgee had to face next was an opponent that gave him a headache.

The first was the Blood Moon Attack. According to the time calculation, in another half a month, the world would fall into the blood-red moonlight again.

The Blood Moon Attack had not been settled yet, and they had to face another wave of attacks. They had to seize the time to improve their team’s strength.

There was also the final boss, which was related to the theme of next season.

They still did not know what the next season would be…but Mcgee knew that the next season would definitely be lightning.

Because, after defeating the final boss, Mcgee might have to face his strongest enemy — the Eastern Dragon.

…

The world channel was silent.

In the past, no matter what happened, the world channel would always have people who were optimistic or harboring evil intentions chatting.

But now, no one responded to the Mcgee Alliance’s words on the world channel until today.

Probably…the trust and communication between people had completely collapsed.

The people of the Mcgee Alliance did not care. Their leader’s strong performance made them fearless. After all, the second-ranked player had already been killed, and now they were the dominant player.

The people from the world channel could not communicate with each other anymore. They were all in different places, so they might not even be able to meet each other.

It was more practical to build a good relationship with friends from the alliance.

In the castle, Kidd was counting the spoils of the previous war.

“A total of 20 pieces of blue-grade equipment, 5 pieces of gold-grade equipment, and 13 subdued beast skill books…”

With such a bountiful harvest, Kidd reported in high spirits, as if he had not been affected by the sneak attack from before.

“Mm.” Mcgee nodded, then said to Kidd, “Give them to our brothers to distribute.”

Kidd was mentally prepared for Mcgee’s generosity.

Mcgee did not need basic items anymore. In the past, he had only collected basic items to develop his home and use for trade.

Before leaving the meeting room, Mcgee wanted to confirm something.

“By the way, Kidd, when you opened the achievement system in the third season, did it remind you of hidden quests?”

“Hidden quests?” Kidd thought for a moment and said, “I don’t remember.”

Judging from his serious expression, he probably did not hide the truth.

“Yeah.”

“Is there a problem?”

“Some people seem to be given hidden quests by the system. For example… Zhao Ling Er can forge equipment, and Qi Wei can collect ores…”

“I see.” Kidd shrugged. “Then there really isn’t. I only have a normal achievement system.”

“Don’t be discouraged, I’m the same.” Mcgee patted his shoulder and comforted him. He had just found out that the system had just been awakened.

“I’m fine.” Kidd had already given up on the goal of being the number one in the world. He knew clearly that the gap between him and Mcgee could not be made up by the system.

However, Kidd had already understood what he meant. He wanted to go to the Alliance to look for people with special systems. They might not have good combat strength, but they might have special support effects.

Next, Mcgee was ready to activate the follow-up Blood Moon Attack. After the Alliance battle, the members’ strength and combat experience had greatly increased. They should be able to win the next Blood Moon Attack.

“Boss, I have something to tell you.” Kidd saw that Mcgee still wanted to stay behind to deal with the Blood Moon Attack, but he knew that Mcgee had an even more important mission to do.

“Huh?”

“Leave the matter of protecting the Alliance to us. A five-star mission has appeared in the adventurer guild, and we reckon that our own strength is not enough to complete it. I hope that you can go and carry out the five-star mission to strengthen your own strength.”

During this period of time, Mcgee was only focused on finding a private room, and he had completely forgotten about the matter of the Adventurers’ Guild.

However, Mcgee was very happy that Kidd had taken the initiative to take on the responsibility. If he continued to protect the Alliance, it was indeed possible that he would drag Mcgee down. It would not be worth it.

After arriving at the Adventurers’ Guild, Mosha was very happy to receive Mcgee. After explaining the purpose of her visit, she immediately transferred out the 5-star mission.

[Mysterious portal]

[Mission level: 5-star]

[A mysterious portal has appeared near the smoker forest. It seems like an endless stream of creatures from another world are coming out of it. It might be dangerous to the world.]

[Mission condition: Must have 3 familiars above level 20.]

In the entire Alliance, only Mcgee fulfilled the condition.

From the description of the mission, it should be an endless stream of combat missions. It sounded very dangerous…

But it could also be an opportunity to get stronger.

Or, it could be the last chance to get stronger.

Mcgee accepted the mission, of course, but he had to be very careful when choosing his partners.
