Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 56: First Mission
The next morning Zhang Yu went with Wu Zetian to the mission center to retrieve his reward.
When he got there, almost all eyes were on him. But Zhang Yu was acting indifferent and focused on his footsteps until a brown-clothed old man stood in front of him.
"You came to get a present?"
"Right, Elder Zhu!"
Zhang Yu heard from Wu Zetian the name of the mission center guard was Elder Zhu He. The mole near his lips was enough to confirm if it was indeed him.
"Alright, come with me to the room."
After saying that Elder Zhu He turned around and headed up the stairs to the second floor.
Zhang Yu glanced at Wu Zetian, but even before saying anything the fat-bodied young man raised his hand while shaking his head. "No-no. You go alone. I'll stay on the first floor while looking through the mission list."
Ow...
Zhang Yu nodded faintly, he followed Elder Zhu He with Sun on his right shoulder.
"Sit down comfortably. I'll be back." After entering the room Elder Zhu He pointed to the long chair asking Zhang Yu to sit there. He walked into another room that only separated the thin blue curtains.
While waiting for Zhang Yu to see the simple but luxurious room decoration. One painting caught his attention. The complicated and incomprehensible characters make him feel this painting has a deep meaning.
But really, the characters in the skin were different from the writing he knew all along. It's some kind of other language, or maybe it's ancient writing.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Elder Zhu He came out from behind the curtains with a medium-sized wooden box. He brought the wooden box before Zhang Yu and showed it contained an anonymous identity token with a nominal of five thousand contribution points.
"That's a beginner's gift because you could be on the ranking list in the first try. Moderate to rank rewards will be awarded every beginning of the month as long as you can maintain the ranking in the top two hundred list."
Zhang Yu nodded in understanding. Yesterday Wu Zetian had explained a little about it. Rank one would get fifty thousand contribution points, rank two and three got thirty-five thousand contribution points. The top hundred got twenty thousand contribution points and the top two hundred got ten thousand contribution points.
That's quite a lot considering the comparison of contribution points with gold coins is one in ten. One contribution point was equivalent to ten gold coins. So five thousand contribution points equals fifty thousand gold coins. It was not even less than the income of the small clan in Qian Gu City.
After obtaining his reward, Zhang Yu left the room down to the first floor. Wu Zetian was sitting on a chair while looking at the brown-colored sheet of paper, his face was as serious as dealing with trouble.
Haiyan...
The fat young master sighed. He slowly raised his face looking towards the stairs waiting for Zhang Yu. He did not realize, the person he was waiting for was now right behind him. Looking at the sheet without making a sound.
But some of the sentences on the sheet were too eye-catching.
"Are you really going to take the mission?"
Zhang Yu's voice came from behind his nape. Wu Zetian's body goosebumps and lightning-fast stands up from his chair.
"You ...." When he was about to vent his anger, his mouth was suddenly silenced to see that person was Zhang Yu.
He pondered for a while, clearing his throat twice with a loud voice.
Ahem... Ahem...
"Right, I intend to take on a mission to collect contribution points. Look, this is a list of missions of the S-C level." Wu Zetian handed the sheet of paper in his hand to Zhang Yu.
Returning to take a quick glance, Zhang Yu spread out the sheet of paper while looking at the type of mission listed according to his class.
Uh...
"What does this cross mean?" zhang Yu asked as he looked at the S-level missions, A and some B-levels had a cross next to him.
Zhang Yu saw the rewards of each mission. An S-level mission begins in exchange for ten thousand contribution points. A-level missions are seven thousand to nine thousand contribution points. B-level missions earn rewards of five thousand to seven thousand and C-level missions of one thousand to five thousand contribution points.
"So we can only take C-level missions or at least B-level." Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly. He hopes to take on the mission with great rewards.
But if you think back, it might not be a bad thing to complete some B-level missions.
After all the rewards must have adjusted to the level of difficulty. Because it's easier to be solved faster.
"Try your attention to this B-level mission." Wu Zetian pointed his index finger at a B-level mission that had a reward of seven thousand contribution points.
"Not bad. Maybe we can finish it." The mission's task was to capture the bandit gang in Sura Village, a region at the southern end of Xue He City.
After deliberating for a moment they went to the stewards table to confirm and took the mission scroll.
"Chairman Zhu He, we want to take on this mission." Wu Zetian handed over the sheet of paper while pointing at the intended mission.
Elder Zhu He had just returned to his place, he caught a glimpse of that B-level mission and looked at the two young men before him.
"Where are your other two associates?"
Uh..
Zhang Tu and Wu Zetian just looked at each other without saying a word.
Elder Zhu He sighed. "If you're just two people, you better take on another mission. This mission you want cannot be taken except by a group of four."
"Chairman, can't give us an exception?"
Elder Zhu He shook his head. Regretfully returning the sheet. "You can find two disciples first if you really want to take on this mission."
Looking for two students? How can it be that easy to find a partner?
"Chairman Zhu He, we came to look for a suitable mission. Our group consists of two people."
Suddenly two girls came and asked about the mission.
Zhang Tu and Wu Zetian felt familiar with this voice. They slowly turned their faces to the side.
"Tang Yue, He Jiao? You guys came to take the mission?" greet Wu Zetian.
Tang Yue only realized that the two people beside her were Wu Zetian and Zhang Yu. He greeted me kindly. "Yes, we came to take the mission. What about you guys?"
"Well, we also came on a mission. But there are still less than two people. Uh ... What if you two join us?" ask Wu Zetian.
Zhu He who was sitting on the seat said. "It just so happens that you know each other. It'd be better to be a group."
"For me it's not a problem. What about you, He Jiao?"
He Jiao narrowed his eyes. A moment of his attention was fixed on Zhang Yu and the ape on his shoulders. "Why should we join them? Better take the mission to two people alone."
"It's a pity that for now two-man missions there are only A-level missions. You can wait a month for renewal if you want a mission for two. But there is also no certainty because the mission came as per the circumstances."
He Jiao rolled her eyes upwards reluctantly. "alright. I'll go where Tang Yue went."
Wu Zetian and Tang Yue cheered happily. They then asked Zhang Yu.
"That's not a problem."
