114 Mission: Stealing the Dragon Egg!
Ever since he obtained the Holy Unicorn Remnant Horn, Mu Xuan stayed in his small villa for more than a month to supervise his beasts’ hard work.
It had to be said that under high pressure, there would definitely be gains. First, the Knowing Destiny Butterfly, which had a weak presence, advanced to commander level 8 in one go. Then, the lazy Invincible Diamond Thunder Spirit Bear also worked hard and advanced to commander level 5.
On the other hand, the Holy Sprite Envoy’s improvement was relatively slow, only reaching commander level 4. Because there were very few holy-element resources, the light-element resources Mu Xuan used were not perfect cultivation resources, dragging down its progress.
After a series of battles, the Sky Leap Dragon Polecat finally reached overlord level 6.
The remaining Ice Ember Frost Star Dragon and Wild Giant Horn Ant were still stable at Beast King Level 2 and 4. It was indeed quite difficult to level up Beast King-level beasts.
The reason for this was mainly because the spirit energy on the Blue Planet was still relatively weak. Overlord-level beasts could still absorb spiritual energy through the surrounding environment, but it was very difficult for beast kings.
It was said that at the monarch level, it was even more exaggerated. Any random cultivation would drain the spirit energy of an area.
Mu Xuan looked at the level of his beasts and whispered, “In a month or two, these little guys will advance to the overlord level. It’s time to prepare.”
Although his beasts at least had monarch-level potential, Mu Xuan was still prepared to work hard and see if he could help them increase their potential to the quasi-ancestor level! After all, the lower the level, the easier it was to increase it.
“The Knowing Destiny Butterfly has already reached level 8. Then let’s start with the Knowing Destiny Butterfly,” Mu Xuan thought to himself. He opened the intranet’s resource library and flipped through it. After a round of screening, Mu Xuan didn’t find any suitable beast taming resources, making him very frustrated.
Well, it couldn’t be said that there were no suitable beast taming resources. There were countless resources in the resource bank, and it wasn’t like there weren’t any suitable for the Knowing Destiny Butterfly. It was just that the resources worth thousands or tens of thousands of credits directly made Mu Xuan shrink back.
“I didn’t expect that even I would lack credits!” Mu Xuan sighed. In the nearly four months since he entered the school, Mu Xuan had never been worried about credits. However, after buying the Holy Unicorn Remnant Horn, he only had a little more than 1,000 credits left. It wasn’t enough.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Mu Xuan opened the mission section on the intranet.
Other than those rankings, the fastest way for students to earn credits was actually to do missions!
Although Eternal Academy was called a school, it was actually more like a sect, a community of interests, and a huge organization! Since it was an organization, there were naturally countless missions that needed to be completed and countless resources needed to be collected. This was why there was a mission section.
Suddenly, Mu Xuan’s eyes lit up because he saw a very good mission. The reward was actually as high as 10,000 credits!
[Quest Name: Steal the Dragon Egg]
[Mission Description: Steal a pure-blooded demon dragon egg with thunder attribute. Its potential must reach the monarch level!]
This mission had been hung up high since half a month ago, but it hadn’t been completed. Mu Xuan couldn’t help but feel tempted. This mission was suitable for him!
As someone who had a spatial beast and information panel, he could completely steal any dragon egg the mission issuer wanted!
“I want this 10,000 credits!” Mu Xuan smiled and opened the mission details. Just as he was about to accept it, he saw a long string of comments below.
“Brothers, don’t accept it. This mission is a huge trap!”
“The person above is right. The person who issued this mission is just fishing. You have to pay 1,000 credits to accept the mission. If you don’t complete the mission, the credits won’t be refunded!!”
“I was scammed of 1,000 credits. Boohoo…”
“A lightning-element pure-blooded demon dragon egg and a monarch-level bloodline potential… How can all these requirements be met!”
“Heh, wouldn’t it be fine as long as it was the Destruction Thunder Dragon’s egg?!”
After reading seven or eight comments, Mu Xuan already understood why this mission wasn’t completed. The mission issuer had pretty much issued an impossible mission!
Then, as expected, Mu Xuan found a line of words at the end of the mission details. “When this mission is accepted, 1,000 credits will automatically be deducted as a deposit. If the mission is not completed, it won’t be refunded. If the mission is completed, it will be doubled!
“Looks like the person who issued this mission is really fishing. He specializes in tricking the careless little…” Mu Xuan revealed a cold smile. “Unfortunately, you met me!”
Mu Xuan decisively chose to accept it. The 1,000 credits in his account were automatically deducted.
Mu Xuan opened the mission list and looked at at least seven or eight similar fishing missions. He smiled softly and said, “When I complete this mission, I’ll accept all these missions. Let’s see if you still dare to fish at that time!”
Then, Mu Xuan made some preparations and quickly left the school…
At the same time, in a small villa in District C, a young man with a wretched appearance looked at the message he received and immediately laughed. “Another fool has taken the bait…”
The wretched young man’s name was Lu Hengtong. He wasn’t weak, or else he wouldn’t have been able to occupy a small villa. However, Lu Hengtong was clearly a little smart. He discovered a loophole in the mission distribution section and used this loophole to trick seven to eight people.
Now, Lu Hengtong had welcomed his ninth victim!
Soon, Lu Hengtong sent his message to a certain group and said proudly, “Haha, I got another 1,000 credits…”
The group immediately became lively. “Brother Lu, you’re so lucky. Have you already tricked ten idiots?!”
“I only tricked six people. I’m so angry!”
“I only tricked four. These juniors are getting smarter…”
Lu Hengtong said, “I feel that this loophole will be gone sooner or later. You guys should seize the opportunity. It’s fine even if you increase the credit reward…”
“Hehe, Boss Lu is still the smartest. As the saying goes, wealth moves people’s hearts. I don’t believe those guys won’t fall for it!”
“I’ll listen to Boss Lu. I’ll change the information now!”
“Hmph, I’ve already changed it to 20,000 credits. Hehehe, I directly raised the deposit to 3,000!”
Lu Hengtong also silently praised his own wit. If not for the fact that someone had already accepted the mission, he would have continued to increase the credit reward!
Mu Xuan naturally didn’t know what Lu Hengtong and the others were doing. Otherwise, he would have given them a thumbs up and exclaimed that they really knew how to court death. Weren’t they afraid that someone would really end up succeeding?!
…
In the depths of the third Crossing Mountain Range, Mu Xuan swept his gaze over a mountain and shook his head gently. He sighed and said, “That guy’s brain is not bad. He wants a pure-blooded dragon egg with thunder attribute and monarch-level potential. This requirement is really not low. Even I couldn’t find it after searching for seven to eight days, let alone others?!”
To be honest, exchanging for a pure-blooded dragon beast with thunder attribute and monarch-level potential with 10,000 credits was actually not a loss. However, the problem was, who would use precious credits to exchange for a beast?!
After all, the point of credits was that they could be exchanged for rare resources in Eternal Academy!
