Chapter 1 (Volume 22) The first BUFF mission
The returning fleet did not send a traffic boat, but the entire fleet drove to the vicinity of the island where we were, and then we flew directly over. After boarding the ship, we realized that they came to pick us up together not to flatter us, but because there were two fleets on the main channel confronting each other. Although they did not really start fighting, they could fight at any time.
According to the captain's introduction, these two fleets should be American fleets, which means that the lethality of the BUFF mission has begun to take effect. In order not to be accidentally involved in this war, the North American fleet of our guild had to circle around a large circle to avoid the waters of both sides, otherwise they would not have entered the waters of the island we are on.
After we were taken over, the fleet was divided into two parts as required, with nearly half of the warships remaining. Their mission was to start the preliminary construction of the port on site, while the other fleets quickly returned to Aisinger.
As soon as I arrived at Aisinger, I directly connected to the War God's communication and asked: "Have you heard of the BUFF mission before?"
"I have received one." The God of War's answer was very fast.
"It's very fast." I didn't ask about the content of the task immediately, but suddenly changed my words and asked, "What's the situation in Russia now?"
"It seems that the power of the BUFF mission has begun to show. Both Russian and Korean players have withdrawn from their own territory. Because internal forces have become no longer trusting each other, large-scale operations have begun to appear difficult, and both sides have to temporarily withdraw their power back to their inherent sphere of influence. It seems that before the overlord guild is decided, countries will be unable to fight against the outside world."
"This is a good thing. OK, let's talk about the mission. What mission have you received?"
"We don't know about this yet, and you need to ask for it yourself."
"Why? Haven't you already taken over the mission?" I asked the War God in surprise.
The War God said helplessly: "This is our first experience. The process of BUFF tasks seems to be very different from ordinary tasks. As long as members of the Overlord Guild or the Administrative Guild can trigger the BUFF tasks. But it may be that they know that such tasks are usually done by the top personnel in the Guild, so the BUFF tasks are directly set into a transaction mode. The person who takes the task will not directly get the task from the task NPC, but will be asked whether they are willing to help, and the NPC will directly give a prompt that people who are not strong enough can find and have the ability to complete it. If you choose to ask someone to help, the NPC will not say the content of the task. Instead, you have to wait until the person who takes the task arrives. As for directly agreeing to help, although it has not been tested, we guess that most people will directly determine the candidate and cannot transfer the task afterwards."
"That is, to do a task, you must agree on the spot before you can hear the mission briefing, right?"
“It’s almost that.”
"Okay then. Tell me where to take the task, and I'll listen to the mission briefing."
In fact, the location of the task was not too far away. But this location was a little strange. After confirming the notification of the BUFF task, the War God immediately began to issue orders to ask our guild players to pay attention to collecting BUFF task information. However, I didn’t expect that our guild had so many members and had footprints all over the world. As a result, the first BUFF task I received was in Japan.
Yes. The first mission was received by a detective from our guild. This investigator is one of the tactical investigators of the fulcrum city. Their mission is to act in the Japanese player control area outside the fulcrum city control area. Monitor and early warning of possible offensive activities of Japanese players on the fulcrum city.
Because of this mission, these players usually act in nearby Japanese cities or wilderness in disguise. Unexpectedly, a detective here would inexplicably receive a BUFF mission, but this was actually our guild and the first BUFF mission in the world.
Although the mission location is a bit inconvenient, we don’t care much about it. Our strength is here, and most people can’t do anything to us. Matsumoto Masaga himself is ours. Nobunaga Ghostou is probably thinking about how to seize the dominant position. Without these masters like them, even if we are swaggering in Japan, no one can hinder our actions. It is meaningless to rush up to die.
After confirming the location, we first made Hades and Pandora from the Temple of Earth, and then let them all non-player existences back to everyone. The BUFF mission is not convenient to bring NPCs to battle. After sending away these great gods, we are only four of us players. As the top four in the world combat power list, we not only represent the highest combat power of the Frost Rose Alliance, but also the highest combat power level in the world. Therefore, the best task is to test the four of us.
From Aisinger to the fulcrum city, we then rushed to the place where the military gods talked about. In fact, this place is not very far from the fulcrum city. After all, the one who found the mission was the periphery of the fulcrum city, so the location must not be too far from the fulcrum city.
Based on the coordinates, we quickly found the target location. This place is actually not a city. It is a wild supply point. It itself is a village produced by NPC gathering, but there is no teleportation array or city wall. However, there is an NPC store selling medicines, which is commonly known as the system store. This type of supply point in the village is very common in the game, and the same is true for the present. The only difference is that the village in front of us gives people a very strange feeling. When we were far away from the village, we saw this village in the valley, but from a distance we found that there was a layer of purple-black smoke above the entire village, which at first glance seemed like the fire had just ended.
In addition to the strange smoke, there is another place that makes people feel uncomfortable, that is the temperature of this place. As we approached the village, the temperature around us kept dropping. Before, I felt a little hot when I was on the hillside, but when we stood at the entrance of the village, we felt a little cold. This chilling feeling seemed to spread not from the surface of the body, but from the body, which made people tremble, but the feeling on the skin clearly told us that the ambient temperature was not low.
"What's going on in this ghost place?" Zhenhong had already discovered that the situation here was not right.
