Lin Yuan was almost dizzy with anger. Damn it, that old bastard Troll! He threw a mission he didn't dare to take directly onto him. What the hell was that?
But, but—
"Hey, aren't you guys afraid?" Lin Yuan suddenly thought of this point because Lord J, Thomas, and Bison clearly knew the content of the mission.
"What’s there to be afraid of? It’s just a simple escort mission. Who knows what tricks the Troll is up to? But the target for escorting is quite strange—a sleeping D1 level Mechanical Warrior. Enough chatter; we have one hour and thirteen minutes left before accepting the mission. If we don’t meet with the mission initiator, our reputation at G-715 Sub-base will drop by 100 points. That’s not all; more importantly, we’ll have to return ten million Mechanical Coins as commission. But worse than that is that we've already spent those ten million Mechanical Coins!"
Lord J said calmly, while Lin Yuan had already turned to stone. He suddenly realized he was wrong—so absurdly wrong. Damn it, it turned out that it wasn't just the Troll Captain who was off his rocker; Lord J, Thomas, and Bison were all just as crazy. The only normal one seemed to be the silly Fat Three!
At that moment, Lin Yuan felt like crying; he even had thoughts of smashing his head against a wall. What on earth was happening?
"Can I choose to withdraw?"
"No! You have unconditionally accepted the inheritance rights. According to the laws of Mechanical City, you are the primary creditor. If you do not repay all your negative assets, you cannot escape unless you die," Lord J replied nonchalantly.
"Then why can that old bastard Troll get away with it?"
"Because he is a Troll!"
"That's not fair!"
"Only dead people talk about fairness! Because they are all dead!"
"…"
Damn!
Lin Yuan was completely speechless!
Fine then, bring it on! It’s just a Mercenary Group, what’s so great about it?
First of all, the Mercenary Group needed a name change; just hearing the name Troll made him furious, so it had to go!
"Ding! You have applied to change the name of your Troll Mercenary Team... Sorry, due to irresistible reasons, the change cannot be processed at this time. Please be patient..."
Damn!
This is strange! The information network of Mechanical City has always been incredibly smooth. How could there be such an insurmountable issue?
After trying dozens of times in vain, Lin Yuan finally gave up. Fine, a troll is a troll! It's not a big deal.
Once he accepted his fate, Lin Yuan quickly regained his composure and began to think. First of all, it seemed he couldn't shake off the burden of the Troll Mercenary Team, so he had to learn to accept it. Moreover, the contract duration for Lord J and the other three was astonishingly long, which meant that as long as he could afford their wages and they didn't die, he could comfortably keep them as bodyguards for the next hundred Mechanical Years!
He really couldn't understand what those four were thinking. Lord J had actually been tricked by the troll into signing a contract for a hundred Mechanical Years, while Fat Three was even worse off with a thousand Mechanical Years. Normally, mercenary contracts were usually just a few years long, or even only one or two years.
In the end, he would also have to take charge of the daily operations of the Troll Mercenary Team!
"Then, where is the initiator of that escort mission?"
"Right here at Mine 478. You can find the contact information in the mission log. Time is tight; you need to contact them immediately so we can make some preparations," Lord J reminded him calmly.
With a sigh of frustration, Lin Yuan quickly pulled up his standard information log and accessed the individual mission log. Sure enough, there was a large number of tasks listed there. Counting them up, there were over twenty tasks just within g-715 Sub-base that were marked as incomplete, all displayed in green. There was also a large batch of tasks marked in red from other Sub-bases that were overdue—undoubtedly indicating that the reputation at those Sub-bases had plummeted!
This is ridiculous! The Troll Squad under the Troll Captain is nothing but a bunch of con artists!
What a disaster! How could there be such bizarre characters?
In light of this, it was no wonder that the Troll Captain suddenly passed on the inheritance rights to him.
As Lin Yuan pondered this, he opened the last incomplete Mission Point. It turned out to be a very simple task: escorting an individual at Mine 478. The mission objective was to transport a sleeping D1-level Mechanical Warrior to Mine 91, with a reward of thirty million Mechanical Coins!
Interesting, but this task seemed quite normal. The distance from Mine 478 to Mine 91 was merely thirty thousand kilometers. If the Hover Vehicle team moved at full speed, they could arrive in no time. Of course, they would need to traverse Zerg-controlled areas and might encounter ambushers along the way; it would definitely present some challenges—otherwise, it wouldn't warrant that thirty million Mechanical Coins.
Unable to figure out why the Troll Captain had been scared off so easily, Lin Yuan decided to contact the mission initiator directly. This kind of thing was straightforward; within seconds, he established an information connection with clear signals.
However, it took a full ten seconds for the other party to appear on his screen.
When Lin Yuan finally saw the mission requester, he nearly jumped out of his skin. It was a figure entirely cloaked in black—a Mechanical Life form whose level was indiscernible; he couldn't even make out its specific Mechanical Body. The only visible features were its black mechanical cloak and a pair of dark long blades protruding from its back. The terrifying aura emanating from it made Lin Yuan feel as if his soul might escape his body. He couldn't imagine how such a death-like presence could exist in this world.
"Who are you?"
The Mechanical Cloaked Figure, upon seeing Lin Yuan, was clearly taken aback and immediately asked. However, those three words felt like a spell that sent chills down Lin Yuan's spine. It wasn't because the voice was terrifying; in fact, it was quite clear and pleasant to hear. The problem was that it belonged purely to a female voice!
Lin Yuan couldn't fathom any Mechanical Lifeform liking a voice that sounded effeminate. Therefore, there was only one possibility: the Electrician's Guild's kind!
The Punisher!
What the hell! How could it possibly be the Punisher? How could a simple escort mission be connected to the legendary Punisher?
"Who are you?"
The figure in the black cloak asked again. Lin Yuan snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, "Uh, hello! I am the captain of the Troll Squad, Double Wood Forest. It's an honor to serve you!"
After a brief silence, Lin Yuan felt as if he were under the gaze of a dragon from hell—truly a fate worse than death.
A few seconds later, it was unclear what the figure that resembled the Punisher was doing, but finally, they left behind a single phrase: "Mission canceled!"
And thus ended this bizarre conversation! (To be continued.)
