Chapter 275 Promotion Quota
Fang Heng turned on his survival radio.
Hao Zhou: “Fang Heng, We’ve encountered a great deal of trouble. If you happen to see it now and are still willing to help me, leave your contact information in real life immediately. I’ll contact you within 10 minutes after receiving the news, thank you, sorry to bother you.”
It’s Hao Zhou! He’s also in Dongxi District!
Fang Heng immediately recalled.
When he had just entered the game, he had unintentionally accepted Old Black’s request on the internet and joined Hao Zhou’s team to enter Hope Town to complete the mission.
They had not interacted for long, but Fang Heng felt that Hao Zhou was a very reliable leader.
After the incident in Hope Town, Hao Zhou had also taken the initiative to stay behind to settle the matter. After receiving the King of Gods’ points from the Federation, he immediately split the loot.
He alone took on all the responsibility and accepted the Federation’s investigation.
Fang Heng estimated that it would take two to three hours for the zombie team to dig the passage.
Since he was available, he could provide help to Hao Zhou.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng immediately sent his contact information to survival radio.
Then, he threw down a sleeping bag and went offline.
Dongxi District.
In an abandoned hut.
Hao Zhou’s team of four sat around the bonfire.
The entire team was shrouded in a sense of despair.
From yesterday until now, they had searched for every possible way to complete the mission.
But they couldn’t!
They also sought the help of many people.
After everyone heard about their mission objective, they tactfully rejected it.
On one hand, the mission requirements were extremely difficult. On the other hand, this mission would cause them to become enemies with another big game company called Krontgen.
Very few people were willing to do this.
Just now, Hao Zhou and the others tried again.
They still failed.
There were less than 10 hours left before the end of the mission. They decided to give it their all and look for their friends via the survival radio.
However, five minutes had passed and they did not receive any reply from anyone.
Suddenly, a pleasant surprise broke the silence.
“It’s Fang Heng!”
Hao Zhou could not help but shout out because he was too shocked.
Kun Ba and Kun Ta were stunned at first, and then they were pleasantly surprised.
There was a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation!
They did not expect to actually contact Fang Heng. During this period, Fang Heng’s prison shelter was the talk of the town in District 8’s forum.
It was just too famous!
Like the others, Sister Li’s eyes flashed with surprise.
But soon, the excitement faded.
“Will Fang Heng help us? He’s doing well in the game now. Will it affect him if he goes against Krontgen?”
Hearing this, they fell silent again.
Hao Zhou said, “It’s okay. I believe that Fang Heng has his own judgment. It’s normal that he doesn’t want to get involved in this mess. Now that we have this opportunity, we have to give it a try.”
Kun Ba nodded in agreement. “Yes, give it a
try.”
“I’ll go offline now to contact Fang Heng. You guys take care of the situation first.”
After saying that, Hao Zhou threw down the simple bed and hurriedly went offline.
Not long after he went offline, Fang Heng received a call on his phone.
“Fang Heng? It’s been a while. How are you?”
“Pretty good.”
Fang Heng added in his heart, “It would be even better if there was no one competing with me for the main storyline mission.”
“I heard that you’ve developed very well in the game. The forums are all discussing the prison shelter. When I first heard that the leader of the prison was you, I was really shocked.”
“Hahaha, it’s luck, I have good luck.”
Fang Heng humbled himself.
“No, I believe this isn’t luck. The last time I saw you, I felt it. With your ability, it’s only a matter of time before you obtain such a result.”
After a few words of praise, Hao Zhou continued, “Fang Heng, we’ve encountered a mission this time. It’s very troublesome and might bring you trouble, so don’t force it. If you refuse after listening to it, we can understand.”
Fang Heng’s expression turned serious.
“Okay, go ahead.”
At first, Fang Heng thought it was just a normal mission and thought it would be convenient to help.
“Fang Heng, you know the company Krontgen, right?”
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow. “Is it related to them?”
“Krontgen is one of the first large companies to establish a shelter in the game. They have the support of the twelve corporations.”
“Twelve corporations. In the Northern Federation, the twelve corporations are very powerful.”
Fang Heng asked, “What about the specifics? Did you have a conflict with them?”
“It wasn’t a conflict, but there was friction with the mission. Some time ago, after a series of pre-mission conditions, we received a high-difficulty mission.”
“The mission required us to find a way to enter a city and safely retrieve a sculpture from there.”
Hao Zhou shook his head and sighed. “After our field investigation, we discovered that the target location, Yin City, has been declared occupied by Krontgen Company.”
Fang Heng understood the situation.
It was very common for a guild to declare the ownership of an area in the game. Their prison had also declared that they had occupied 28 areas in one go.
After all, there were only so many resources. Whoever had the biggest share would be the strongest.
Normally, when players encountered something like this, they would most likely sneak in to complete the mission.
As long as they were careful, they would be fine as long as they were not discovered.
“What happened after that?”
“The Krontgen Company has a very tight security around Yin City. We tried to sneak into Yin City a few times, but the effect was not very good.”
“It was not easy to succeed once, but the follow-up to the mission required the sculpture to be taken out of Yin City. The sculpture was too big, and it was difficult to hide it, so the mission was quite troublesome.”
Fang Heng nodded and roughly understood the mission’s goal.
He felt that the mission difficulty wasn’t too high, and he didn’t take the Krontgen Company to heart.
“How about the mission reward?”
Speaking of this, Hao Zhou’s mood rose a bit.
“Fang Heng, the mission reward is the promotion quota!”
Fang Heng was a bit disappointed.
He wasn’t interested in the game promotion quota, and he had already obtained the quota.
Hao Zhou continued to explain.
“It’s a special quota, a special quota that can increase the number of resurrections!”
Fang Heng suddenly understood.
In the game, there were two kinds of promotion quotas, one was the normal quota.
After a player received a hint from the game that he could be promoted, he could exit the elementary game world and enter the intermediate game world.
This kind of normal promotion method only had a fixed reward, which was a free five-year offline time. In theory, a player could stay offline for five consecutive years.
There was also a special quota.
Special quotas had all sorts of effects.
The common ones would be giving players an extra three to thirty years of free offline time or giving players a 60-day increase in all attribute percentages after entering an intermediate game.
The mission reward that Hao Zhou received was relatively rare. It could be considered one of the more powerful ones.
After entering the intermediate game for a period of time, after death, one could be resurrected for free and the number of deaths would not be counted.
For players, this extra reward would allow them to integrate into the intermediate game world faster and better.
