Chapter 1109 Going Through Protocol

1109 Going Through Protocol

"Now let's see here..."

Ignoring the gazes that were glancing his way every once in a while, the young man focused his attention on the mission board in front of him in the hopes of finding a mission that was suitable enough to be considered his first one.

Recalling the mission he was about to choose before Juba interrupted him, Valyr went ahead and looked at the entire mission board for a while, eventually finding the mission that somewhat clicked with him earlier.

Though, once he got another look at the description of the mission he chose, Valyr eventually changed his mind after pushing his perception to the limit, swiftly realizing that he'd chosen what was considered a comparatively easy mission.

'I guess that's why the board for novice mercenaries are larger than the other ones,' thought the young man to himself, doing a once over on the entire mission board before choosing a mission.

Through there, he soon realized that the difficulty of the missions for novice mercenaries varied quite a lot, with the easiest ones among them being made for those whose strengths hovered between Rank 2 and early Rank 3.

On the other hand, the hardest missions he could find made for novice mercenaries were at the peak of Rank 3, which was undoubtedly a massive jump in difficulty when compared to the easiest missions.

Of course, such a mission was still considered to be incredibly easy for someone like Valyr.

'Then again, whether I choose to go with an easy mission or a difficult mission, I'd only gain one point towards my promotion,' muttered Valyr to himself inwardly, slightly frowning as he looked through the rewards some of the missions gave.

'Huh. An easy mission nets around two merit points at most, while the most difficult one I've seen so far nets around seven merit points.'

'Yeah... even if I consider the fact that completing these missions also give some useful items, that amount still doesn't feel like a lot.'

Clicking his tongue at the thought, the young man decided to move onto the mission board made for 1-star mercenaries, recalling Eivann's brief discussion of taking on higher-ranked missions during their first meeting.

Unsurprisingly, it did not take long for him to find out that the strength needed to complete the missions were increased accordingly, with the minimum level of strength needed now being the middle levels of Rank 3. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

On the other hand, the hardest missions Valyr could find on the mission board for 1-star mercenaries were made for those in the early levels of Rank 4, prompting him to look at the rewards the missions gave not long after.

"A 2-star mercenary mission." Looking at the mission that was given to him, the attendant faintly nodded before extending his hand towards Valyr. "Identification token."

Nodding in response, Valyr pulled out the token from his spatial bracelet before giving it to the attendant.

Receiving the token after that, the attendant went ahead and scanned it with the help of a thin tablet, only to be left at a slight loss for words as he looked back at Valyr. "Sir... Ylvar, was it? You do know you chose a mission made for a 2-star mercenary, right?"

"I do." Valyr nodded.

"You also know that you're currently a novice mercenary, right?"

"Yep."

"...I see. You chose it for a hasty promotion." Seeing the confidence in Valyr's expression, it did not take long for the attendant to understand what was going on as he nodded.

"Though there really isn't much point in doing this since no rational person would choose a difficult mission unless if they were confident enough, we must still unfortunately go through protocol," said the attendant to him, faintly sighing near the end. "I must first confirm that you have the strength to complete the mission."

"If you could please cooperate with me and follow me to the strength testing area, that would be great."

"Alright." Nodding at the attendant's words, Valyr soon followed behind the man as the two arrived at a different part of the mission hall not long after.

An even weirder time to be posting another chapter. Is this considered too early? Or too late?
