Chapter 268
268 Another a-rank mission
Link had always thought that the number one assassin artist of Platinum Hotel would have a cold and aloof persona.
After the real exchange today, link realized that this guy was Aladdin’s magic lamp.
I have one more question. When will the assassination take place? ”
“I can’t disclose the exact time. I can only say that it’s on a certain day in August. Maybe I’ll pull you up when you wake up in the morning.”
Link lowered his head and did some calculations. If the assassination was to be carried out in August, it meant that John would head to the floating mech city in September to find a way to revive Masha.
On the 1st of October, year 42 of the wasteland calendar, the game’s open beta started. Players officially entered the wasteland planet, and version 1.0 where the Son of God descended began.
If that’s the case, then John’s accident in floating mech city will only happen in September.
Since link had decided to ride on John’s coattail, he could not let John go to the city.
“Must it be in August?”
John felt that link was implying something. He couldn’t help but ask, ” “Why, can’t you do it in August? I have a feeling that you know something.”
Last time, link had blurted out Marsha’s matter. After that, John had done all kinds of investigations, but he could only find out that link and Fu had escaped from the wasteland gang. Before that, they were just ordinary slaves.
While he was investigating in the sand City, link had soared in two months. He’d quickly gone from an unknown slave on the run to a well-known figure of the new generation.
His pig feasts, alpaca perfume, and pet sales had formed a close relationship with the Uptown nobles. These connections solidified Link’s position.
whether john investigated link’s background personally or asked his friends to investigate, he couldn’t find anything useful.
However, John’s admiration for Link’s character and strength grew.
“If I had known that you came back to assassinate alongso, would I still be so surprised? Speaking of which, what kind of conditions did Moroes offer that you couldn’t refuse? how did he manage to get you to come out?”
John was silent for a moment before he said,”one bullet.” Back then, Moroes saved me when I was wanted by all the major factions after I completed the mission of washing my hands in a Gold Basin. I gave him a bullet and told him that no matter when or what, as long as he took out this bullet, I would help him with one thing. This was a promise.”
Link understood now.
Yes, a man’s promise.
” what do you think? if it’s moroes, i can fulfill all your requests. ”
Link fell into deep thought.
If John had been alone, the mission would have been a failure.
But with him, the mission might be successful.
By then, the sand City would lose its Supreme Commander, and the four military commanders would become independent. The sand City would fall into chaos again.
The other two emperors of the three emperors of the sand capital, Derek from the underground black market, and the financial tycoon Moroes would definitely take the opportunity to seize the city and split the benefits.
If alongso died, would he really get any benefits?
Link did some calculations and realized that even though he could get rid of alongso, Moroes would also become stronger. It would be extremely difficult for him to deal with Moroes unless he ran into some trouble.
Link grabbed the human-skinned mask from the table and said, ” “Are you sure no one will recognize me if I wear this?”
” of course! ” john nodded with certainty. ” there’s only one of this. if it’s damaged, you won’t be able to find a second one in the entire freedom federation. ”
“I can assassinate you, but I don’t want to be exposed. Do you understand?” Link said as he extended his hand.
John smacked his hand on Link’s and grabbed his hand.”No problem,” he said.
the painting you sent me the last time and the package hidden in the warehouse, were they all for this operation? ” Link suddenly remembered the item that John had sent him. He had asked the treasure-hunting mouse to dig it out of the warehouse. Link had seen it later. It recorded all the shady dealings of alongso, Moroes, and the others.
On the surface, all the sand belonged to the freedom Federation, and they were enemies with the wasteland gang and the machinery faith. However, alongso and Moroes had secretly sold firearms to the machinery faith and the wasteland gang, and there were even some deeper joint organizations. If these things were to spread out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar on wasteland planet.
However, John had sent these things to link.
Link didn’t understand before, but he finally realized that this was all a setup!
[ you have completed the first phase of the a-rank serial Mission [ King of Assassins ‘request ], mission No. 1 [ retrieve lost memories ]. ]
[ you have received a [ perfect ] evaluation. You have received 50000 experience points. You have received an additional 150000 experience points as a reward. ]
A perfect rating would give him triple the experience points, so he instantly received 200000 experience points. Link’s experience pool now had a terrifying 397460 experience points.
Link glanced at the system and sighed. Mission No. 1 of the first phase was finally completed.
Previously, he had found the secret in the hidden compartment of the box and the notebook buried in the warehouse, but the mission had never been completed or failed. It was only when he met John again today that he finally understood the whole story.
[ you have triggered the a-rank chain Mission [ the king of killers ‘request ]. The first phase of mission No. 2 [ assassinate the king of Shudu ] is now activated. ]
[ mission hint: painter john has a complete plan to assassinate alongso and has invited you to join him. ] one day, John will suddenly find you and take you to assassinate alongso. [ therefore, during this period of time, you must try your best to improve your strength and ensure the success of the mission! ]
[ mission reward: 500000 experience points, two random purple-colored equipment, five random purple-colored materials, and other rewards based on the evaluation. ]
Link glanced at the mission and was immediately attracted by the huge amount of experience and rewards.
Purple equipment, purple materials, and dynamic evaluations.
If he were to get a high score, his experience points would easily double to over a million!
” as expected, the bold will die from overeating and the timid will starve to death. the reward is very tempting. ”
Other than the mission reward, John promised link many things.
if he could complete it, link’s power and assets would make him a mafia boss. he could even rule the entire slums without a problem.
lin ke looked at his current mission list and was dazzled.
