Chapter 123 Departure
After leaving Shi Lan's residence, Chen Yuan returned to reality.
"Irelia, open the quest system and select quests that suit my abilities."
"Yes, Master."
As soon as Irene finished speaking, a holographic projection appeared before Chen Yuan's eyes, displaying a densely packed list of tasks. "So many!"
Chen Yuan was slightly surprised and quickly said, "Limit the search area to the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region. The target strength should not exceed the early stage of the universe level. Prioritize tasks with high reward points."
"Yes, ma'am. A suitable task has been selected for you."
After Irene finished speaking, more than 90% of the tasks on the screen in front of Chen Yuan disappeared, leaving only a dozen or so listed on it.
He casually clicked on the task that was ranked first.
Mission objective: Eliminate the "Cross Stars," a group of thousands of space pirates led by ten cosmic-level leaders who roam between star systems, making a living by robbing merchant ships, taking hostages, and selling slaves.
任务奖励:行星级成员0.1~1分/人、恆星级成员10~100分/人、十大宇宙级首领5
000~10000 points/person.
"A large-scale space pirate group—"
Chen Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then suddenly noticed the mission rewards and exclaimed, "Cosmic-level items are actually that valuable?"
He looked closely and saw that even the Cross Star Core Members at the ninth level of the Eternal Star Realm only received 100 points each, but for the ten leaders, even the weakest one was offered a high price of 5000 points, and some even offered 10,000 points.
It's important to know that, according to the information provided by the company, the strongest leader within this "Cross Star" is only at the third tier of the cosmic level.
There isn't a single one who has mastered the field.
With that kind of strength, Chen Yuan could easily defeat him.
Most importantly, the company can more easily monitor the movements of such large space pirate groups without spending a lot of time tracking them.
"It can be considered for inclusion in the alternative list."
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then his gaze shifted downwards, landing on the second task.
"There's only one person ranked second?" He looked at the mission details with curiosity.
Mission objective: Kill the lone traveler "Demon Blade". Demon Blade's strength is approximately at the second level of the cosmic level, and his power level is expected to exceed 50. He has mastered the triple light domain, and no law fluctuations have been detected.
To hone his skills, Demon Blade enjoys testing his blade on geniuses, and he has no bottom line. He will not hesitate to kill even those at the Eternal Star level. Since his appearance, he has killed more than 900 Eternal Star level geniuses and more than 10,000 Planetary Star level geniuses. He has also killed the descendants of several Domain Lords, which has triggered a joint bounty.
Mission Reward: 75000 points. "Universe-level, second tier, mastered the domain, but not the laws—" Chen Yuan pondered, feeling that he could handle it. Moreover, the reward for this demonic blade was indeed generous. As long as he killed one person, the points reward would be almost the same as the total points of the ten leaders of the Cross Star.
"Unfortunately, the Demon Blade is elusive, and the company can only narrow down the search area." Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. "Let's keep it as a backup for now. We can look for it while doing other missions, and if we encounter it, we can complete the mission accordingly."
If he really can't find it, then there's nothing he can do. Chen Yuan won't waste too much time on a single goal.
In reality, given the company's control over the virtual universe, finding someone would be very easy.
Given the other party's capabilities, it's unlikely to attract the company's attention, so naturally, they won't waste effort trying to accurately identify them.
To be taken seriously by the company, a character must at least be at the level of a domain lord, and have committed numerous atrocities, including the slaughter of an entire inhabited planet.
Although the Demon Blade's crimes were also heinous, as he enjoyed killing geniuses, the reason he had such a high bounty was mainly because he had offended a large number of powerful domain lords.
That's why he was put on the company's kill list, but it wasn't taken seriously enough; they just randomly narrowed it down to a certain area and then had their internal elites take action.
Chen Yuan had no choice but to make a note of it and then continue reading.
Rustfire Alliance, Blood Hand Society, Ancient Demon Tower, Assassin "Black Star", Killer "Butcher" —·
After carefully reading through them one by one, Chen Yuan slowly exhaled.
Very good, it's all within his control.
"Ireil, plan a route for me. Prioritize routes with clear destinations, those with large numbers of people, and finally sort them by points."
"We aim to return to Purple Star within three months."
The next batch of cultivation resources would be delivered in three months, and Chen Yuan didn't want to miss it.
"Understood. The route has been planned for you. One day has been allocated for each mission objective. The mission is expected to be completed in no more than three months."
Irene's clear voice rang out, displaying the route map.
Chen Yuan looked at it and found that it included a total of 9 missions, almost all of which were groups of enemies. The cross-shaped enemy that Chen Yuan had seen earlier was among them.
There is only one lone wolf, the assassin "Butcher," a criminal who has killed over ten million people, possessing cosmic-level first-tier strength.
Owning territory.
The butcher's location is relatively easy to pinpoint because the company detected that he is carrying out killings on a certain planet and is not expected to leave within ten days.
This person was also the first target in Chen Yuan's plan.
"A butcher is wreaking havoc on a planet? Looks like I can't wait any longer, I need to get going."
Chen Yuan had absolutely no liking for this kind of person.
Not to mention that the other party was committing murder; if he had arrived even a second earlier, he could have saved more lives.
With this in mind, Chen Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately took action.
He first went to the cultivation room, removed the nutrient capsule, and put it into his spatial ring—since Shi Lan had given prior notice…
His dismantling did not trigger an alarm in the nutrient tank.
Otherwise, this behavior would be considered theft of company property. After all, a nutrient tank is worth more than 800 billion cosmic coins. Without the guarantee of the world lord, ordinary students would not be able to take it away under any circumstances.
After securing the nutrient capsule, Chen Yuan left the manor and flew at full speed towards Star Harbor.
A few minutes later, he saw the huge harbor.
"This distance is about right—Ireil, connect to the 'Blue Fox' spaceship and take over its AI."
The Blue Fox was Shi Lan's former vehicle, an E3-class spaceship.
Shi Lan has transferred the control of the spaceship to Chen Yuan, who can now directly control the spaceship using AI.
"Master, we have successfully taken over the Blue Fox's AI."
Irene's voice immediately echoed in Chen Yuan's mind.
Then, Irene unfolded a route map before him and marked the location of the Blue Fox.
Immediately, a three-dimensional map of the starport unfolded before Chen Yuan's eyes, with the location of the Blue Fox's docking point specially marked—just over twenty kilometers away.
Chen Yuan sped up and soon spotted the E-class spaceship at the designated location.
The Blue Fox is light blue all over, and its streamlined shape does indeed resemble a crouching fox, which is probably where the spaceship's name comes from.
The hatch opened automatically, and Chen Yuan flew in to survey the interior of the spaceship.
At first glance, it was incredibly spacious, with almost no decorations. It was unclear whether Shi Lan liked it this way or had removed the interior before leaving.
However, Chen Yuan didn't care whether the interior was simple or luxurious; he just felt that this place was perfect for placing the nutrient capsule.
Upon arriving at the control room, the equipment appeared to be in perfect working order, and Irene was conducting an internal inspection of the entire spaceship.
Ten minutes later.
"Master, this spaceship is fully functional and can be used normally."
In the control room, Irene's projection appeared. "And the performance is even better than I expected, reaching six times the speed of light. It must be that Lord Shilan modified the spaceship's engine."
"With the capabilities of this spacecraft, we will have three more days after completing our original mission."
Ireil suggested, "On your way back, Master can search the area where the Demon Blade appeared."
"If we can't find them within three days, we'll return to Ziyao Star as planned."
After listening to Irene's plan, Chen Yuan nodded: "Understood."
"Well then, let's set off now. Our first destination is the Red Sea Star in the Reiner System, which is also the planet where the Butcher is currently located."
"Yes, sir. Blue Fox, ignition in progress, 10, 9, 8—"
As Ireil counted down, the spaceship, dormant for many years, regained its vitality, accelerated into the sky, and soon broke through the atmosphere of the Purple Star.
After continuous acceleration, the spaceship successfully entered the dark universe, leaving only a spatial ripple in its original position.
