Mission

Back in his dorm room, Aldric saw that Nolan was still playing.

He didn't seem to be stopping until tomorrow morning.

Although his body wasn't moving at all, from the movement of his breathing, he seemed to be having a lot of fun in that game world.

Aldric on the other hand, took a bath first, and even ate dinner first with makeshift food.

Only after he was full did he return to playing Magician Online.

DING!

(Welcome back, player!)

When he reappeared in the city, he heard a welcoming voice in his ears from the game system.

The city was still as bustling as the last time he was here.

It was still day even though it had become night on earth.

From the looks of it, time in this game world moved slower so night came later.

Aldric took a walk to look around.

In this game, it's not just about fighting and increasing your strength.

Here, you can also accept missions that will of course reward you.

To get missions, you can go to the Magician's Guilds and join them.

That's a bit difficult as each guild has strict requirements to become a member.

However, without being a member, you can also get missions from the guild, but your rewards are cut more.

Of course, when receiving missions, there would be rewards from the System Game.

Most rewards are spiritual energy boosts that can be used to progress to the next stage, and sometimes they are artifacts or weapons, or spells.

Not long after, Aldric arrived in front of the Golden Lion Guild's headquarters.

It was a guild with a headquarters similar to a palace in small form, very luxurious. Even the entrance was guarded by two lions that were up to five meters tall.

They had very thick beards.

There was no restriction for anyone to enter. Everyone could enter directly without having to pass the inspection.

Aldric walked straight into the guild headquarters, finding a spacious hall with a long reception desk at the end while on each of the left and right walls, he found huge blackboards.

Hundreds or perhaps thousands of papers were attached to each of them.

They were lists of missions divided into different levels of difficulty, from easy, medium, difficult, to very difficult.

Aldric leaned closer to read them carefully.

(Looking for the missing monkey, easy difficulty, 700 Coins reward!)

(Guarding the cattle farm in Yellow Rose Village, medium difficulty, reward 2300 Coins!)

(Restrain the river water flooding the Wheat Village, hard difficulty, 5500 Coins reward!)

(Killing the Queen Bee in Ron's Family Villa, hard difficulty, 6000 Coins reward!)

"Hmm..." Aldric held his chin, thinking about what mission he would take.

The mission to kill the Queen Bee sounded interesting to him, especially since he used to keep bees in the village.

Maybe if he catches the Queen Bee, here he can raise bees too.

What made him hesitate was the difficult level of difficulty.

He wondered if his strength was enough.

His eyes kept scanning the mission paper which also had a picture of a Queen Bee that needed to be killed.

In shape, she is no different from a typical Queen Bee. It's just that she's completely gold in color which makes her very striking.

"Well, alright!"

After a moment of thought, he decided to take the mission.

He pulled out the mission paper and walked to the reception desk.

"I want to do this mission," he said, handing the paper to the receptionist.

The latter took it and asked, "are you sure?"

Her expression was a bit strange as she asked about it.

"Is something wrong?" asked Aldric in response.

"I will explain about this mission. Because of the Queen Bee's presence in the Ron Family Villa, the Villa became home to so many bees that the Ron Family members could no longer inhabit their villa. The problem is that it is so difficult to kill this Queen Bee. She is small but very fast, always able to escape when discovered. Quite a few Magicians have tried only to fail and suffer attacks from the bees."

"Ohhh..." Aldric was somewhat surprised to hear that.

It seemed that the Queen Bees in this world were indeed very different. Plus, how could one Queen Bee be followed by enough bees to fill a villa?

However, he felt there was a chance for him to catch the Queen Bee if she was just quick.

If he used Swallowed Sky, could the Queen Bee still escape?

Although the mission wanted him to kill her, capturing her should be the same.

What about the bees in the villa? They would surely attack him if he captured their queen?

That was what made it difficult for other Magicians.

Only, his body could not be scratched even by sharp crystals when his body power was active.

Could those bees' teeth penetrate his skin?

When he realized there was an advantage he had, he couldn't help but smile.

"I'll still take this mission," he said.

"Alright!" The receptionist couldn't refuse because he insisted.

He then took out a map of Eldorn Territory, pointing at a certain point.

"About three miles from this city, there is Spring Hill. Next to that hill is the location of the Ron Family Villa, you'll definitely find it when you get there. Come there, Mr. Ron is always waiting for someone who comes to work on this mission."

'Three miles, huh!'

Aldric realized it was quite a long distance. Without any money, he could not help but walk there.

As far as he knew, three miles in this game world was no different than on earth.

"Take this!" The receptionist took out a coin-sized token with the image of a lion.

"If you can complete this mission, you can be accepted into this guild," she added, giving a bit of information.

DING!

(You have officially accepted the mission, solving the problem at Ron's Family Villa. If you succeed, you will earn 20,000 Spiritual Energy!)

The notification from the System Game finally appeared.

Apparently, the game viewed this mission as solving the problem in the villa, not necessarily killing the Queen Bee.

Basically, if the problem is solved, then the mission is successful.

And the amount of spiritual energy obtained is also quite surprising. Aldric can advance to two stages with that amount of spiritual energy.
