From BOSS to Canon Fodder: She is Currently Out of Service!
Chapter 206 - 102: Plane Mission (1)
As for this pair of jade pendants... they’re engraved with a golden dragon and jade phoenix in flight. Lovers in the Cultivation Plane each hold one, and no matter how far apart they are, as long as they’re on the same plane, they can teleport to each other instantly! It’s too defying of the natural order!
Su Jiameng rubbed the jade pendant, her eyes flashing with a brilliant light that quickly disappeared, as if it had never been there.
"If used well, this thing could be incredibly useful. It’s just a pity it can only be used once a month, otherwise, it’d definitely be a powerful weapon on the battlefield!" Su Jiameng’s character meant she wouldn’t spend her days dreaming of romance. Looking at this clearly couple-oriented Dragon and Phoenix Pendant, she thought more about reality than her future partner.
"But it has its uses right now... If those people still want the Alliance officers to perform reconnaissance on the Insect Race, I can have the person undertaking the mission wear one piece, and when they reach their destination, I’ll use the other pendant to teleport over..." Su Jiameng muttered, "This way, it saves a lot of effort and time..."
Su Jiameng’s idea was quite good, but there were currently two problems. First, she didn’t know who would perform that task. Second, even if she knew who it was, she had no way to get them to wear this thing... all of this needed careful planning.
Putting these thoughts aside, Su Jiameng suddenly remembered something and asked the arms dealer a question, "Can I ask, do you know how to earn Plane Points? You can’t expect to always rely on merchant levels to upgrade, right?"
The higher the Plane Merchant level, the more experience points needed. She’s already at Level Five, but she needs to gather six thousand experience points to reach Level Six, and it’ll only get harder to level up in the future.
Of course, she can keep trading to accumulate experience, but large transactions aren’t something you come across every day. The Plane Trading Platform seems incredible, but due to the restrictions on trade items, she can only trade with people from the interstellar plane, and other planes are basically off-limits... So, the trading platform isn’t as strong as it seems, wasting a lot of its potential.
Su Jiameng felt a bit upset; this situation was basically like encountering a mountain of gold and silver but having to leave empty-handed. Probably due to the influence of her first life and having taken elixirs twice, she was very eager for things from the Cultivation Plane. It’d be great if she had something they needed, so both sides could trade. With that thought, Su Jiameng posed this question to Mr. Arms Dealer.
After waiting a long time, he just coldly threw three words at Su Jiameng, plus an exclamation point, "Check the guide!"
The guide? She’s already read it, and there’s absolutely no information on that, Su Jiameng thought with a question mark on her forehead, when the other person added, educating this Level Five yet still rookie merchant, "As your level rises, so does the guide!"
Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Su Jiameng felt a bit embarrassed, obediently opening the guidebook, and finding that it was indeed as the other person said—it had upgraded, with a lot of content that was worlds apart from the simple introduction before.
The astonishing thing was, there was a search engine here, where she could get answers to all sorts of quirky and strange content. Su Jiameng thought it was an exaggeration, but when she saw the examples in the guidebook, she fell silent.
Merchant question: My husband is pregnant, but I’m a woman. Why is that?
Engine answer: There are basically three possibilities. First, your husband is a transgender woman, and you are a transgender man. Second, you are in a female-dominated plane, and of course, men have babies there. Make sure this is indeed your child, and don’t panic. Third, I think you should pay attention to your man’s social circle and see if there are any men with questionable orientations. If all else fails, ask Yuan Fang!
Merchant question: Yesterday, my boyfriend went to a hotel room with another woman behind my back, seeking advice!
Engine answer: From this question, you can basically draw one conclusion: your man is incredibly strong, as he can carry fifty kilograms to a hotel room with another woman. If you’re strong enough, you can carry your man to a hotel with another man, and believe me, this experience should be even more thrilling and interesting, full of ’sex’ happiness...
Seeing this bizarre question and an even more bizarre answer, Su Jiameng instantly fell to her knees! It’s unavoidable for merchants to ask outrageous, unscrupulous questions, as some people’s personalities are just that terrible. But the answers from the engine were simply too outrageous!
Su Jiameng’s question naturally wasn’t so odd, but she didn’t have much hope for this engine. Yet the result surprised her because the engine’s answer was very standard, solving Su Jiameng’s confusion. There are basically four routes to earning Plane Points.
First, leveling up merchant level, the higher the level, the more Plane Points are awarded. Second, submitting tasks to the Plane System and receiving Plane Points as a reward based on the task’s difficulty after completion. Third, accepting random plane tasks, with more rewards at higher levels. Fourth, selling items to the Plane Store. She understood the first and fourth, but was clueless about the second and third.
Then she asked more questions and finally understood the difference between the two. The second is when a merchant encounters an event, they can try submitting a task to the system, which evaluates the situation to generate a task, rewarding the merchant upon completion. The third is receiving system-published tasks, with rewards upon completion... Su Jiameng stroked her chin, applying to the system to generate a task, which content was the upcoming jailbreak attack incident...
Watching the little Q-version figure running hard on the virtual screen, Su Jiameng waited and waited until the first task was finally formed.
Task name: [Guarding Xilena First Affiliated School, The Shattered Conspiracy]
Task applicant: Su Jiameng, Task level: A, Task completion: 0%
Task reward: Ten thousand Plane Points, one piece of Clay Ore, task completion requirements: no restrictions, adapt as needed
Su Jiameng muttered, "This is feeling more and more like playing a game, this cursed time travel..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
