If the Players Don't Get a Mission, What if They Start to Riot?

Mo Fan could not help but feel excited when he saw that the number of missions left had fallen to 95. At the very least, he finally had a way to solve his problem.

He reckoned that this malady of his would not last much longer.

These Proud World fellows also did not know that he was Bunao Biaoyin.

Thus, Mo Fan decided that once he recovered, he would immediately kill these fellows. At the very least, he would take back a portion of the mission rewards that he had given out to them.

…

The drop rate of the mission items did not seem to be high.

Mo Fan waited for almost half an hour before someone came over to complete the mission.

The first one to turn in the mission was Proud World Traveler.

Mo Fan immediately lost 10 silver coins and 8,000 points of Spiritual Energy.

Mo Fan did not set the number of times players could accept missions, so after Proud World Traveler completed the mission, he accepted another one.

"It would be nice if they can complete my 100 missions."

"I just don't know what use this item has."

Mo Fan opened his inventory and found ten green balls.

[Antidote for Mushroom Poison (Special)]

[Scarecrow Strawly's exclusive mission item]

[Can remove mushroom poison stun duration by 1000 seconds]

Seeing the effect of the mission item, Mo Fan was ecstatic!

Hahaha, he finally found a surefire way to solve his problem!

Mo Fan immediately used the 10 items.

The stun duration instantly decreased by 10,000 seconds.

If the players completed his 100 missions, they could directly reduce the stun duration by 1 million seconds.

However, to completely eliminate the stun duration, it required another 990,000 missions.

This obviously would not work.

He knew that he had to upgrade the Mission Distribution System so that he could distribute higher-tiered missions

…

About an hour later, another wave of people arrived.

These people seemed to have been brought here by the expert players.

There were about a dozen of them.

When they saw that Proud World Traveler was handing over his mission items to Mo Fan, they also ran over. Just like Proud World Traveler and the rest, they were also shocked by Mo Fan's name at the start.

They had never heard of an NPC having such a lengthy name.

Mo Fan looked at the surprised players and could not help but laugh in his heart.

Although he was quite ugly now, at least he was long!

Not long after, Mo Fan received a dozen mission acceptance notifications.

Adding on what Proud World Traveler had done previously, only a few missions were left from the hundred.

…

As more and more players cleared the Dense Fog Forest, more and more players accepted missions from Mo Fan. Soon, everyone found out that there was a scarecrow that gave out missions close to the Dense Fog Forest.

There were even detailed strategies on how to clear his missions in the official website forum.

However, these players who came to take on the mission were first dumbfounded by the length of Mo Fan's name.

Many people looked at each other in shock and disbelief.

Such a lengthy name was rare in any game!

After Mo Fan distributed the last few missions, all the 100 gray normal missions that he had previously set were handed out.

[System Notification: You have issued 100 Gray Normal Missions. You have reached the upper limit.]

After failing to issue more missions, the players who came later were not able to accept anything.

As expected, most of them were greatly disappointed.

There were even some people who waited until Mo Fan issued a mission.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan was patiently waiting for the players to complete their missions.

…

After another hour, more and more people handed in their tasks.

Mo Fan's completion rate skyrocketed.

When his mission completion rate reached 80%, the NPC Mission Distribution System upgraded itself!

[System Notification: Congratulations on advancing the NPC Mission Distribution System to Level 2.]

After the system upgrade, he could now distribute white-tiered missions.

In addition, the number of possible mission acceptances also rose to 1000.

However, the next upgrade requirement for the Mission Distribution System had become 90% completion rate for 1000 white missions.

Seeing this, Mo Fan started to create a new mission.

Just like before, he ended up in failure.

But after six failures, he finally succeeded.

[White Normal Mission: Purchasing Antidote Pill]

[Buy an antidote pill for Scarecrow Strawly. It is said that there are clues at the Pharmacy in Maple Leaf City.]

[Antidote Pill: 0/1]

[Mission Reward: Silver Coins x 50, Spiritual Energy x 18000]

[Level Requirement: 10]

After completing the assignment, Mo Fan immediately set the mission parameters.

[Setting the mission parameters for 'Purchasing Antidote Pill']

[Mission Distribution Number: 1000]

[Allow Acceptance: Yes]

[Default Acceptance: Yes]

[Objective Mission Range: 5 meters]

[Player Acceptance Limit: 999 times]

[Mission Reward: Automatic]

After the settings were done, the players who came to submit their missions seemed to have discovered a new thing.

"Come quick! There's a new mission here!"

"Eh, this mission is better than the previous one!"

"That's right! From what I've observed, it seems like this NPC's mission can be repeatedly done until it reached a certain limit."

"You're right about that. I've only done it twice, but my brother has already done this NPC's mission seven times!"

"You guys suck. I heard that Proud World Traveler completed this NPC's mission ten times!"

"Then we should hurry up and complete our mission. There will be more and more people coming later. It would be harder for us to seize such a good opportunity by then!"

Soon, many players received Mo Fan's mission and they immediately ran towards Maple Leaf City. Mo Fan was secretly pleased to see these players busying themselves with his mission.

You adorable guys better hurry up! I can't wait anymore!

…

Because of this mission, Mo Fan became famous on the official website once again.

"Shocking news! The scarecrow's name outside Maple Leaf City is 15 meters long!"

"Astonishing sight! The Scarecrow NPC outside Maple Leaf City distributes a mission that can be farmed indefinitely!"

"Shocking news! What on earth is Scarecrow Overlord Strawly?"

"Heavens, such a long name!"

"Exactly. It's ridiculous. I've never seen such a lengthy name in a game before."

"Is this NPC an Ultimate Boss?"

"Who knows? However, it is quite enjoyable to farm missions there. I heard that some players have already gotten quite a lot of silver coins and Spiritual Energy just because of that NPC's missions."

The players online yearned to meet this scarecrow.

After all, there were too few missions in the early stages of the game.

Most players did not even receive any mission in the beginner village.

…

In front of Dense Fog Forest, Old Dream of Liang City was also browsing the forums.

When she saw Mo Fan's appearance, she could not help but be stunned.

After a while, she immediately shouted to the side.

"Sister Flower, look at this scarecrow!"

A Little Red Flower immediately walked over.

"Dream, what's wrong?"

"Sister Flower, we seem to have seen this scarecrow somewhere before!"

"There are a lot of scarecrows in the beginner village. They're all the same. Of course, we've seen them before!"

As she spoke, A Little Red Flower rolled her eyes at Old Dream of Liang City.

"That's not what I meant"

"What are you talking about?"

"What I mean is that the scarecrow that is issuing these missions might very well be the one that killed us in the beginner village, the one that got away!"

As she spoke, she sent a photo of Mo Fan in his scarecrow form…

A Little Red Flower took a closer look and her pupils constricted.

"That's right, it's him!"

"The straws on his body are slightly different from other scarecrows. I didn't expect your eyes to be so sharp!"

A Little Red Flower immediately praised Old Dream of Liang City.

"I realized it the more I looked at it. What should I do now?"

As Old Dream of Liang City spoke, she closed the official website forum.

"What else can we do? Let's go through the Dense Fog Forest first!"

"That despicable fellow touched our bodies back then. We must take revenge!"

A Little Red Flower gnawed her teeth and pouted.

"Yeah, we cannot let this guy off so easily. Even if he is an NPC, we have to touch him like he did to us, so we can take our revenge!"

Old Dream of Liang City clenched her fists.

She seemed to have thought of something and her little face turned red.

"You wretched girl, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"If you want to touch him, you can do it, don't involve me!"

A Little Red Flower glared at Old Dream of Liang City and could not help but be speechless.

"Sister Flower…"

Old Dream of Liang City wore an innocent look.

…

Mo Fan did not have to wait long before a group of players rushed over to hand in their missions. The item this time was different from last time.

[Antidote Pill (Special)]

[Scarecrow Strawly's exclusive mission item]

[Can remove mushroom poison stun duration by 1,000,000 seconds]

An antidote pill directly removed a million seconds from the stun duration!

Mo Fan immediately used it.

Seeing the reduction in the stun duration, Mo Fan laughed wildly in his heart.

When the 1,000 missions he had just issued were completed, he would be able to shave off 1 billion seconds from the stun duration.

From the conversations of the players, they learned that this antidote pill was ineffective against players. It was also only being sold for 20 silver coins per pill in the pharmacy.

And if a player completed a mission.

They would receive 30 silver coins and 18,000 points of Spiritual Energy from Mo Fan.

If a player could complete this mission 30 times in half a day, they would receive 900 silver coins and 540,000 points of Spiritual Energy.

The rewards were quite generous.

Hence, some hardcore players started working hard on this mission.

They became afraid of missing out.

Mo Fan's mission completion speed greatly increased after these hardcore players started working on them.

When the completion rate of 1000 missions reached 90%, the NPC Mission Distribution System was automatically upgraded once again!

After reaching Level 3, the mission system could finally hand out green-tiered missions.

The upper limit of the number of missions that could be handed out at once reached 5000.

The upgrade requirements of the mission system also changed.

It was no longer based on the completion rate of the mission but on his level itself.

[NPC Mission Distribution System]

[Current Mission System Level: 3]

[Current Mission Rating: Green Normal Mission]

[Current Number of Missions Available: 5000]

[Mission System Advancement Requirement: Level 30]

[Current Mission System Status: Opened]

In other words, only by reaching Level 30 could he continue to upgrade this mission system.

Closing the panel, Mo Fan attempted to create new missions for issuance to these players.

He did not know if it was because he had become proficient in creating missions or something else.

But this time, it only took him three tries before he successfully created another mission.

[Green Normal Mission: Dispelling Mushroom Poison]

[Help Scarecrow Strawly remove the mushroom poison. Clues can be found from the mushroom monsters outside Maple Leaf City.]

[Antidote Mushroom Powder: 0/1]

[Mission Reward: Gold Coins x 10, Spiritual Energy x 50,000]

[Level Requirement: 10]

As he did not know how effective this antidote mushroom powder was, Mo Fan did not directly issue 5000 missions this time.

Only a player called Chasing Soul managed to accept the green mission.

However, after Chasing Soul received the mission, he did not try to hide it.

Instead, he shouted as though he had won a prize.

"There's a new mission. It's green!"

"I got it, hahaha!"

His shout made the nearby players run over to Mo Fan.

After these players came over, they all looked at Mo Fan, wanting to accept his green mission.

However, Mo Fan did not issue any more missions.

"What's going on? Why don't I have that mission?"

"Eh? You guys don't have it either?"

"This mission reached the limit so quickly?"

"Impossible. There are so many of us that received its previous missions. From what I know, everyone can take them!"

"Then it's not our problem—the issue is with Scarecrow Strawly!"

The players surrounded Mo Fan.

"Hey, why didn't you give us the green mission?"

"That's right! Are you discriminating against us?"

"Hurry up and issue the green mission. Otherwise, we'll kill you!"

Some players with bad temper started cursing at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan also wanted to curse.

The rewards of the missions that he issued had to be paid for by himself.

The rewards for this green mission were so high that he could not bear to pay for it.

The Spiritual Energy was still alright, but the issue lied on the gold coins.

One mission cost 10 gold coins. In other words, 5000 missions would cost 50,000 gold coins.

He did not have that many gold coins.

Gold coins were much harder to obtain than silver coins.

The exchange rate was also at 1: 100.

Even if he were to give out just 10 gold coins, Mo Fan knew that he might have a heart attack right there and then.

However, no matter how much he tried to keep his silence, this batch of players kept on getting more and more irritable.

They were about to use their weapons on Mo Fan.

If he did not give them a mission, would they start to riot?

Would these players gang up on him again?
