Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Zhou Wenjie\'s recklessness and his making demands were unexpected, but somehow it seemed as if the elder was trying to hurry someone along?

Considering this was someone Gong Yan had picked up from who knows where, a poor chap bullied by NPCs, Dai Lian stepped forward in an attempt to salvage the situation, "Elder... actually, Wenjie really does want to join us."

Bai E shook his head and smiled lightly, "I didn\'t say I would reject him, it\'s just that our mission is weighty, and everyone should bear more responsibility... that goes for all of you."

With that, Bai E issued an invitation to the new player.

[You have invited the party to join your power: Li Ming (Reputation Level: 1).]

[Zhou Wenjie has joined your power.]

"So, I only hope that when you have learned and achieved something in the future, you will still remember your hidden identity."

Bai E looked at Zhou Wenjie, his gaze calm.

[Mission description generating automatically...]

[Side Quest — Talent Building (Resource-type mission): Learn as much knowledge as possible. The fate of humanity will be adjudged by you. What supports people\'s return to the stars isn\'t just the yearning for the future but the need for solid technologies!

Mission Requirement: At least 0/3 technological projects of level 3 learned.

Mission Reward: Technology Points*1, Bug Tribe Essence Extract*30 (Rewards are issued in a stepwise manner).]

(Note: "Automatic completion" allowed; "Authority" and "Expenditure" will be deducted and locked once the mission is confirmed and published.)

[Do you want to issue the current mission?]

Confirm.

The way to deal with someone depends on what kind of person they are.

This new player seemed to be a rather pure player. Assigning him those violent missions probably wouldn\'t be accepted, or even if accepted, he would probably just ignore them. He had made this clear from the start, and there was no need to try again.

So, it was better to be straightforward and go along with his inclinations.

As for the Bug Tribe Essence Extract... that was a spur-of-the-moment decision from Bai E.

First, he felt that the mission given to this player was somewhat extraordinary, and the rewards had to be special. However, after searching himself, he found he didn\'t have anything of great value.

Players would definitely exchange information, and to not lose face, he had to give them something real to open their eyes.

Secondly... it was an unintended setup.

The essence extracts from various races were the core materials for refining Gene Optimization Solution, but he only had raw materials and not the technology. Even with ten thousand units of raw material, he couldn\'t convert it to power. As for handing it over to the military or the Scientific Research Institute, that would be downright suicidal. It was better to make arrangements with the players.

Since he was a pure scholar, perhaps he could learn the technology to refine the Gene Optimization Solution. If so, then producing and selling himself would be perfect, wouldn\'t it?

And by giving him the raw materials in advance, he was showing him a clear path.

Don\'t know what kind of knowledge to learn? I gave you the stuff, and you still don\'t know what to learn?

As for others...

Bai E glanced at the cement laid out in front of the players.

This mission offered nothing but a +1 to management skills, with no other benefits.

Just looking at the attribute feedback, continuing this mission wouldn\'t be as good as going back to chopping trees.

But...

Bai E hadn\'t forgotten the main mission he would activate later—

Creating an organization with a reputation level of at least 2.

Reputation level?

That undoubtedly meant having to interact with people. Without a guide, Bai E could only rely on guesses and exploration.

This cement starkly added no type of special experience to his own, which probably meant these players had somehow gotten it from other NPCs.

Isn\'t this an opportunity to interact with people?

For the sake of long-term considerations, a temporary sacrifice of some special experience income is not unacceptable.

Such behavior deserves encouragement, so the mission remains.

Side mission—Building Requirements, issued.

Next is... combat missions.

"Have you figured out the source of the issue we talked about last time?"

"We have!" Kuang Xin jolted and immediately reported the progress, "But the mastermind is always hiding in the complex abandoned sewers, with those rat swarms as cover, we can hardly catch him there..."

They hadn\'t even seen the culprit\'s face up to now. The other side was as slippery as the rats he controlled.

So much so that the half of their mission involving investigating the truth hadn\'t even been completed.

"Is the Arbitration Place still investigating?"

Dai Lian took over the conversation, "They are continuing the investigation, and they\'ve split up in the past few days. It seems like they have almost cornered the mastermind."

"Cornered..."

Bai E pondered slightly.

If Kuang Xin had said this, he would most likely believe it, but coming from Dai Lian... the credibility might need a discount.

But no matter what, a boss kill was about to be snatched away, and this was not good news.

So far, the life-and-death combat he\'d been involved in wasn\'t much. Mostly, they were common mobs, and he had only killed a couple of elite mobs. Your adventure continues at m v|l-e\'-NovelBin.net

So... Bai E was still a bit curious about a target that might be a boss type.

Would the drop rate be terrifying? Even without a lucky strike, could something still drop?

Several bouts of combat had gradually emboldened Bai E, and he was eager to explore some of the truths of this world, even if they were slightly dangerous.

A not particularly dangerous, suspected boss type target... he really wanted to check it out.

Besides, he wondered if the players had honed their stealth and Ranged Weapon Specialization abilities in this mission. If he joined them, he could also show off the archery skills he learned from Yue Ying.

If he didn\'t harvest some fresh leeks from the players, his training plans would be hard to carry out.

A win-win situation.

"Tonight..."

Bai E\'s eyes were vacant as he made a decision, "Tonight, I\'ll join you to check out the sewers."

"You\'re going too, Milord?" Dai Lian\'s eyes sparkled with surprise.

Plan successful! Yay!

"Mm! You might struggle with the truth on your own, so I\'ll take a look as well."

Even if it was a no-go, seizing the opportunity to show off his archery skills and harvest some leeks would definitely be profitable.

[This round, I\'m sure I won\'t lose out.]

"No problem, Milord! We\'ll guide you when the time comes!" Dai Lian was overjoyed in his heart, this was a big win!

Using an NPC\'s power to complete a mission issued by the NPC themselves, this game was too awesome!

Having decided on the evening\'s action, Bai E once again pacified the pure scholar\'s heart.

With a calm and wise gaze fixed on the other\'s eyes, Bai E\'s were full of apology.

"I\'m sorry to have you bear everything on your own, but for the sake of everyone\'s future, we must be extremely careful. The trip to the inner city for study is all up to you now... I believe in you!"

The mission had been issued, the reward even included a high-end extract he had never seen before.

He truly cares about me!

Wen Jie was filled with emotion, "I will not let you down, Milord!"
