168 Setting Out
After reading through the mission prompts, Wang Mang was stunned!
He had never expected the system to issue such missions!
Was this not asking him to put himself in the spotlight?
Furthermore, the locations were too risky.
If he announced his existence within the Red Empire, it would be equivalent to telling them, “Come quickly! I am a monster! Come and catch me!”
Sure, coiling himself around the tower and looking down upon the city would be invigorating and satisfying, but what would happen to him after?
Even if he managed to escape the initial military response, he would definitely be put on the kill-list and hunted down!
After all, the Red Empire had already entered a state of high alert.
Even during the day, there were still assault helicopters flying above the reservoir from time to time!
Thus, after some thought, Wang Mang decided not to consider the first mission. In any case, disregarding the rewards, Wang Mang did not want to cause a ruckus in the Red Empire.
Moreover, to be honest, Wang Mang was very clear about the strength of the Red Empire, which was currently the second-strongest empire in the world, and had its sights set on becoming the first.
The third mission could also be ruled out. If the Red Empire was the home of martial arts and cultivation, then the Blue Empire would be called the home of military weapons and technology!
Perhaps his skin was impervious to regular bullets, but who knows what kind of mechanical wizardry he would encounter over there. It was definitely unsafe.
Therefore, Wang Mang could only choose the second mission, which would be to deal with the relatively smaller White Empire.
However, to be honest, Wang Mang was not confident about his chances here either. After all, an empire was still an empire.
Thinking this, Wang Mang felt a headache, and he began to hesitate about the mission.
To be honest, if possible, Wang Mang still wanted to keep a low-profile and grow stronger quietly.
However, the system obviously did not think the same way.
Then, he remembered what had happened the last time he rejected a mission.
With this thought in mind, Wang Mang’s heart hardened.
“System, I reject this mission!”
After making his choice, Wang Mang waited a few seconds, before pretending to heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt somewhat helpless.
However, moments later, the system’s voice rang out again.
[Ding! Detected that the host is currently invincible in this region. The host has been given the following mission options!]
[Mission 1: Host, please tell the world about your existence from the top of the Ruby Tower in the Red Empire’s Capital City. Shock the world!]
[Mission Time: Until completion]
[Mission Reward: 300,000 evolution value! Advanced Gacha x2! Randomized Wheel of Fortune x3!]
…
[Mission 2: Host, please tell the world about your existence from the top of the Pearl Tower, the tallest building in White Empire’s Capital City. Awe the world!]
[Mission Time: Until completion]
[Mission Reward: 450,000 evolution value! Intermediate Gacha x4! Randomized Wheel of Fortune x3!]
…
[Mission 3: Host, please tell the world about your existence from the top of the Sapphire Skyscraper in the Blue Empire’s Capital City. Shake the world!]
[Mission Time: Until completion]
[Mission Reward: 450,000 evolution value! Intermediate Gacha x5! Randomized Wheel of Fortune x3!]
[Note: After the host rejects this mission, the same mission will not appear again!]
…
After seeing this, Wang Mang laughed.
He knew that this mission would definitely appear again!
Moreover, the reward had doubled!
Now, there was no reason to hesitate.
450,000 evolution value!
The other prizes added together were definitely enough for him to evolve a few times as well.
Thus, Wang Mang calmly muttered, “System, I choose Mission 2!”
[Ding! Congratulations! Mission selection was successful. Please complete the mission as soon as possible to obtain the reward!]
Wang Mang muttered helplessly, “Sigh, it’s not like I wanted to mess with their empire. I’m being forced by the system.”
Of course, Wang Mang was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Therefore, his choice was something that had basically been predetermined.
That being said, although he had made his choice, he did not dare to go immediately.
He wanted to increase his strength first. He was also hoping to get stronger on the way there.
After all, he was only 70 meters long right now, and was not shocking enough to show off to the world.
Since he was going to show off anyway, Wang Mang naturally had to enjoy it.
However, Wang Mang also knew that he could not continue to stay at the reservoir, as it would limit his growth and development.
He had already killed all of the demon kings here, so there was really nothing left to fuel his growth.
Thinking this, Wang Mang decided to set out on a long journey, and eventually arrive at the White Empire.
One of the major reasons he had chosen the White Empire was because it was surrounded by the sea.
After he was done showing off, he would slink off into the sea and escape.
Wang Mang had already made up his mind.
Sadly, the system would not allow him to lay low, so he had to embark on this long journey.
Of course, before leaving, Wang Mang still had to make sure everything was in order.
Therefore, that night, Wang Mang sought out Elder Yang and contacted his father. He told his father that he was about to go on a long journey.
Soon after, Wang Mang got a few maps from Elder Yang. He was afraid that he would get lost and travel to the wrong place.
Actually, Wang Mang did not need to go through so much trouble.
He could ask his father to send him there directly. However, he wanted to get stronger along the way, and he was terrified about facing the military might of an entire empire, no matter how small it was.
After telling his father that he was going on a long journey, Wang Mang gave his subordinates instructions.
He wanted the Old Turtle, the three great demons, and the little honey badger, to guard his territory for him.
It was only on the morning of the third day, when the sky was clear, that Wang Mang set off resolutely.
He felt slightly melancholic to be leaving his home.
A few days later, Wang Mang had already left the province and successfully entered West Guang Province.
At this moment, in a forest, Wang Mang was humming a tune as he traveled along.
However, he suddenly spotted a familiar black bear fleeing for its life in the forest. He was stunned.
What was the Black Bear Demon King doing out here?
