Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 687 - The Problem About Team Missions

687 – The Problem About Team Missions

Lan Xuanyu simply allowed them to continue fighting over the rankings while he walked to the Mission Center’s panel to continue looking for missions. The missions on the mission panel were constantly updated and he had already seen them once, but he didn’t find a mission that was especially suitable for the 33 of them.

But now that their team was registered successfully, he could also look for team missions. He had to quickly choose a mission in order to confirm their time of departure. There were 24 difficulty points to get within a year and time was very tight.

He looked at the team mission panel in front of him, a level three mission.

That’s right, he decided to carry out a third rank mission this time as well. Safety first, he gained a deep understanding of it this time. In a third rank mission, there was the possibility of encountering a powerful existence like a rank 8 Proto Dragon, so the probability of a change happening in a higher rank mission was naturally higher.

Very soon, he found a very interesting mission on the team mission panel.

Third rank team mission: Explore a Resource Planet.

This was an exploration mission, and the mission requirement was to head to a small planet discovered by the Federation and explore it. This was a planet that wasn’t suitable for humans to live on, but there were plenty of minerals on it. So far, no life forms had been discovered. But this small planet would emit strange energy fluctuations, or rather, radiation. They suspected that there were special minerals on it.

This team exploration mission was widely released and the mission was completed if they found at least one special mineral and established its effectiveness.

Reward: 50 points for each person. Additional minerals found, increase in points.

The possible danger was that this small planet was very close to Sin Planet and there would often be pirate spaceships stationed on it. There was even a pirate trading ground opened by Sin Planet. Some dangerous items that were not suitable for trading on Sin Planet would be traded there.

Hence, the probability of encountering pirates was very high. They needed a special cover to enter.

The reason why the military hadn’t gone to exterminate it was because it was too close to Sin Planet, and Sin Planet could send a fleet over at any time. The pirates were very cunning and could choose to retreat at any time. And before confirming that this planet had sufficient value to station an army, the Federation wouldn’t waste their military strength there. Near Sin Planet, they would definitely have to station a sufficiently strong army to defend the planet, and they would need a lot of resources.

Exploring the value of this planet became an extremely important mission. It was issued to Sky Fighters.

The exploration itself was not difficult, the difficulty was infiltrating and escaping unscathed from the pirates.

Back then, Lan Xuanyu and his teammates had entered Sin Planet during their first year test. The process had left a deep impression on him and he had gained a lot from it.

This time, it was related to the space pirates of Sin Planet. The key problem was infiltration.

Lan Xuanyu inquired about this mission. He wanted to see how much resources the Sky Fighter Division would provide and how to sneak in.

The answer he got was: No support.

That’s right, even the spaceship had to be prepared by the team.

“How are we going without a spaceship?” Lan Xuanyu looked at the team’s mission panel in surprise.

The staff member said, “This is where the difficulty of a team mission lies. The freedom of the team mission will be higher, and the benefits as well. More importantly, everyone in the team will get points. This isn’t an easy task. The Sky Fighter Division gives very limited support for teams. There are differences between teams accepting missions and individual missions. Most of the Sky Fighter teams actually have sponsorships and cooperate with major forces. Of course, they must be related to the Sky Fighter Division. These forces will also be inclined to help the teams carry out missions related to them. There isn’t much meaning for a team that doesn’t have a sponsor because the possibility of completing a mission on their own is extremely low. The Sky Fighter Division will not help on team missions. You will have to complete it on your own. There are no restrictions on how to proceed. Relatively speaking, the danger will increase, but so will the degree of freedom. As long as a Sky Fighter Battle Team doesn’t violate the Federation’s laws, it doesn’t matter.”

‘There’s such a thing?’ Lan Xuanyu then realized that they really didn’t know much about the Sky Fighter Division. It was no wonder that this seemingly easy mission was at the third rank and didn’t restrict the number of people in the team. That was the problem.

“Are there any restrictions on accepting missions?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

The staff member said, “The limitation is that the missions accepted by the team cannot accept missions below the member with the highest rank. This means that if the highest rank among your members is rank one, then you must accept rank one or above missions. If the highest rank is rank two, then you must accept rank two or above missions. This is to prevent high ranking Sky Fighters from bringing a fake team to complete missions. After all, there is no limit to the number of people in a team.”

Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up. They definitely didn’t have any problems in this aspect. They were all Heaven Fighters of the same rank.

“Thank you. I’ll take some time to think.”

Lan Xuanyu felt that this mission wasn’t too difficult. They had their Sky Wing mecha, so it wasn’t impossible for them to fight in space. This mission was mainly to explore. In that case, they just had to infiltrate the surface of the planet and pretend to be pirates. It wasn’t like they hadn’t done this before. The key was that they had the Tang Sect’s support when they went to Sin Planet previously and the Tang Sect’s warship had a pirate registration. Only then could they enter smoothly.

But this time?

It wasn’t that they didn’t have a warship. The Tang Sect’s warship was still around and Tang Zhenhua had modified and upgraded it whenever he had the time. Although the warship was slightly smaller, it wasn’t impossible for over 30 people to stay inside. As for warship piloting, they could do it. After all, warships flew in space by basically relying on coordinates.

The only problem was their pirate identity. Their warship had been exposed on Sin Planet before.

The academy would definitely not sponsor them. After all, they were still Outer Court students. The academy had already given preferential treatment towards the Star War Experimental Class. It was impossible for them to help them complete the mission, so what sort of test was that? If the academy couldn’t do it, how could they obtain the identity of a pirate?

The corners of Lan Xuanyu’s lips curled up as he recalled a familiar face.

He turned on his soul communication device, found Deng Bo’s name, and dialed.

Very soon, the other side picked up the call and there was a doubtful voice. “Lan Xuanyu?”

“Yes! Captain, it’s me, it’s me. Hello, it’s been a while. How have you been?” Lan Xuanyu chuckled.

Deng Bo replied coldly, “Nothing much, I’m alright. Also, I’m not your captain, don’t call me that. I’m afraid that you’ll cheat me again.”

Lan Xuanyu laughed. “Captain, that’s not right! It’s been so many years. Also, wasn’t the situation special back then? We were forced by the academy too. You’re a big man and don’t hold grudges, why are you bickering with us children?”

Deng Bo almost choked. ‘Children? Are you all ordinary children? Kidnapping me, hijacking a warship, and even having the Tang Sect giving the warship to you. Is this something children would do?’

“If you have something to say, say it. If not, I’m hanging up!” Deng Bo said in annoyance.

Lan Xuanyu said, “There is something. Captain, we have become Sky Fighters recently and have established a Sky Fighter battle team. We plan to accept a battle team mission, but you should know that a battle team needs sponsorship, otherwise, it will be very difficult to go on missions. We have a warship now, and although it is a little small, it can still be used. But we need some help in terms of identity for this mission. I wonder if you could introduce us to the Tang Sect and help us.”
