Chapter 16: Weird mission, BUG?

Ten times the reward! Fifteen times the difficulty!

In an instant!

All the Lords were in an uproar!

“Holy crap! Ten times, we actually encountered a ten-times reward??!”

“A ten-times weekly task, as long as you make it onto the leaderboard, you are guaranteed to receive a legendary quality reward! It’s only appeared a dozen or so times in history, we’re really too lucky!”

“This is our chance to rise to prominence. Complete the task first, and even a wild chicken can turn into a phoenix.”

“Please, please, please, can I get a legendary hero! Whether we can turn the tables depends on this wave!”

“No… aren’t you looking at the difficulty multiplier? Fifteen times the difficulty! The highest level! Damn it! Can anyone complete the weekly task under such difficulty? Look, look, my weekly task requires me to hunt a level 19 beast. Is this even humanly possible?”

“My friend wants me to ask… how can a second-tier female goblin be made to leave her nest alone and seek out a human male to engage in a certain activity?”

“Dude, your task is quite… peculiar…”

“It’s not me, it’s my friend…”

“Damn it, it wants me to recruit a hero with legendary potential within one day! Does it even look at what kind of task it’s issuing?”

“Sigh… the generous rewards are within sight but out of reach… this feast is destined to have nothing to do with us ordinary people. Let’s actively lower the difficulty. No points, then no points, at least there’ll be some soup to drink.”

“……………”

The chat channel was filled with wails.

Aside from the initial revelry and shock, almost everyone else was complaining that their tasks were too difficult.

Only a very small number of lucky ones had relatively simple task requirements, at least there was still hope of completion.

But, that was only relatively speaking.

Seeing the content about the goblin.

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it!

The task seems quite generous!

Although he had powerful Scarlet Tassel Spearmen and Wang Qianqian, who was halfway to third-tier.

If he were to spend a night with a female goblin…

Even a legendary reward would only be politely declined!

Hmm… unless it was the kind of very nice, attractive goblin from certain anime.

“My luck can’t be that bad!”

Lin Yi rubbed his hands and reopened the territory function interface.

He quickly found the shimmering weekly task information bar.

“Huh?”

“This… is this a mistake?”

After checking the task content, Lin Yi was somewhat stunned.

……………

Weekly Task:

Requirement: Submit ten complete beast heads above Level 6, one Bronze Treasure Chest, and raise the level of ten of your residents to Level 6.

Reward Multiplier: 1000%

Difficulty Multiplier: 1500%

Other Options: Lower task difficulty (reward multiplier will also decrease)

Time Limit: 23 hours 59 minutes (task points depend on the time you complete the task)

……………

No…

This task?

Lin Yi repeatedly rubbed his disbelieving eyes, saying incredulously, “I’m already an expert who can hunt beast Lords! Is this all there is to top-tier difficulty?”

Are those Lords in the chat channel all paramecia?

Is this an alternate world version of Linmen’s world?

Is the entire Blue Star Lord playing along with him?

A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes, and he immediately realized that his weekly task was different from others!

Who cares if there’s some kind of bug.

Since it’s fat meat delivered to his mouth, it would be a waste not to eat it.

“The resident levels and beast heads are fine.”

“This Bronze Treasure Chest…”

Lin Yi frowned slightly. As for the former, his territory already had dozens, even hundreds, of eligible people, so there was no need to say more. As for the latter, he just needed to wait for Tie Zhu to return.

But where was he going to find a Bronze Treasure Chest…

“Damn, I remember getting a treasure chest from hunting yesterday.” Lin Yi suddenly recalled.

Soon.

He found the unopened bronze treasure chest in the warehouse where miscellaneous items were stored.

“Good thing there was a lot going on last night, otherwise I’d have to find a new chest today.”

Lin Yi’s mouth curved into a slight smile.

In the early stages of the Myriad Races Battlefield, perhaps only he would leave a treasure chest in the warehouse to gather dust.

If it were other Lords.

They would probably gnaw the treasure chest to pieces the moment they touched it.

Lin Yi returned to his mansion, lay on a chair, and opened the chat channel.

Without systematic training from an academy, he severely lacked relevant experience.

The chat channel was one of the few places where he could gather information.

Message filter, hero-related.

....

Ten minutes later.

“It seems I can still recruit heroes…”

“Do I need a tavern building…”

Lin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly.

According to his investigation.

The overall strength of a territory’s army, in addition to the inherent strength of the troop type.

Whether there was a powerful hero leading them also determined the army’s ultimate combat power!

Among them, the most important was the compatibility bonus for the entire army!

For example, Lin Yi’s current Scarlet Tassel Spearmen.

If he could recruit a hero with high-level Spearman compatibility, the increase in the Scarlet Tassel Spearman’s strength would be more than just a little.

“The Wang family members are strong, but none of them have hero templates, so they can’t provide troop bonuses…”

“I need to recruit suitable heroes quickly…”

Lin Yi’s face instantly darkened.

Damn it, the acquisition method for tavern blueprints seems very difficult!

“Let’s wait until Tie Zhu returns.”

To be more efficient, he had also ordered Wang Fugui to send people to find the hunting team and have them return as soon as possible.

Everything was ready, only the beast heads were missing.

After confirming that his weekly task was different from others.

He was not at all worried that someone would complete the highest difficulty task before him.

....

Long Tao: “Brothers, do you have any news about the Ice Blue Grass I need?”

“Your Highness, I got ten Thunder Stones, I’ll trade them to you right away!”

“I also found a rare building blueprint here!”

“Progress is quite fast! In just half a day, Your Highness’s weekly task is already 30% complete.”

“Thanks to Long Tao, that kid somehow got information that allowed His Highness to change his weekly task.”

“At this rate, we’ll be able to help His Highness collect all the materials by tomorrow morning. The top spot on this week’s task leaderboard will definitely belong to His Highness.”

“Should we guard against Lin Yi? Although Tianji Pavilion investigated his background, after the previous two world announcements… I just have a bad feeling.”

“Don’t worry about him. The territory’s first upgrade and trade tasks were just good luck for that child. The difficulty of the weekly task is right there! Even with our assistance, His Highness still finds it challenging, let alone an unknown junior.”

“Well said.”

“……”

Long Tao’s face was ashen, and he irritably closed the group chat interface.

Entering the leaderboard did not necessarily require completing the highest difficulty task.

In his estimation.

Among the Blue Star Lords this time, almost no one could challenge it except Xia Jie.

Moreover.

Xia Jie only had a glimmer of hope after he revealed the method of exchanging weekly tasks with prestige points.

Actively lowering one difficulty level to complete it as quickly as possible and sneak onto the leaderboard to get rewards.

It was not an unskillful method.

But now.

When he asked Xia Jie’s lackeys to help him find second-tier herbs, they all played dead and said nothing.

If he couldn’t reach his goal before dark, he wouldn’t even make it into the tail end of the leaderboard!

“Hmph, it’s still because of Lin Yi.”

Recalling his humble explanation in front of Xia Jie earlier, Long Tao’s hatred for Lin Yi grew even stronger.

Suddenly.

A private message pulled his thoughts back.

It was from Seventh Prince Xia Jie.

After reading the content, that gloomy, fat face instantly melted like snow under a scorching sun, smiling even brighter than a chrysanthemum.

‘I bought the Ice Blue Grass you needed,’

Hahaha!

Heaven helps me!

Long Tao replied in a great mood: “Thank you, Your Highness! Just keep me informed if you need anything else. Lin Yi is our common enemy!”

After trading the herbs.

The weekly task requirements were also met.

Seeing that the time was nearly eight hours earlier than expected, he couldn’t help but sneer: “Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi, the higher-ups of the Great Xia Empire have already considered you an imaginary enemy! Without the assistance of the powerful, the leaderboard is destined to drift further and further away from you.”

Congratulations! Lin Yi, the human Lord, was the first to complete the highest difficulty weekly task! Other Lords, keep up the good work!

Long Tao’s expression instantly stiffened: ?
