Monster Synthesis Master-Chapter 46
46 S-rank mission
“Thomas, how much is this necklace?” Link said, pointing at the gold necklace.
Thomas walked up and said, ” this necklace was unearthed together with tumeng Fafa’s coffin. It was appraised to have no effect. It was used to embellish the sculpture because of its beautiful shape. It’s not for sale, Sir.
“How much is it in wasteland money?”
“Mr. Lin, do you value this necklace very much?”
link nodded. ” the death beetle represents death, ” he said. ” the scarab represents life. In the culture of the desert, this is a unique totem symbol, and it is also the belief of some tribes.”
Link rolled up the sleeves of his suit and shirt. unfortunately, this is my faith.
Link’s arm had the same Death Worm and Scarab tattoo.
Thomas finally understood. He had been curious as to why link had insisted on buying the necklace. So there was another reason behind it.
Lifting up the tattoo on his arm, link had made this decision after careful consideration.
If the necklace was for sale, link wouldn’t need to say so much. He could just buy it and be happy.
However, this thing was not for sale, so he would not force it under normal circumstances.
However, if link wanted the necklace, he needed a valid reason.
the nest’s goldfinger had been fused into link’s blood, and this necklace had been dug out from pharaoh tumeng’s tomb.
He had just bought the ‘shroud of Pharaoh tumeng’, and now he was spending money to buy the necklace for his faith. The logical relationship made sense and there was no problem.
“Mr. Lin, I’ve packed the goods you’ve bought,”
Just then, the staff at the counter behind him walked over with a bag.
Link opened the bag and saw the bandages in the vacuum-packed packaging. The flaxen-colored bandages were all curled up because the air had been sucked out of them. They looked pockmarked, which reminded him of the vacuum-packed drunkard’s peanuts.
if Mr. Lin really likes this necklace, then I’ll give it to you as a personal gift.
Thomas put on his white gloves and carefully removed the necklace from the neck of the White sculpture. He then gestured for the staff to take a box.
Soon, the staff quickly brought over a palm-sized black necklace box.
Thomas placed the gold necklace into a box and handed it to link.
Link looked at the black necklace box and then at Thomas, who had a warm smile on his face. He said, I don’t deserve it. Just give me a number. I don’t like to owe people favors.
Thomas smiled, ” it’s been 25 years since the headquarters wanted to set up a branch in Shandu and sent me and the store manager here. John was the first and only assassin sent by the headquarters. It can be said that the prestige of The Platinum Hotel in shadu was built by the three of us through bloody battles.”
“I know this friend of mine very well. He has a very strange charm that makes people unconsciously want to get close to him. It was said that a killer was a loner, but he was more like a leader. With the hard work of the three of us, the prestige and scale of The Platinum Hotel in shadu have grown bigger and bigger. We have also gradually gained some like-minded friends around us.”
“At that time, there were a lot of Close Brothers who wanted John to recommend a few acquaintances to The Platinum Hotel, but they were all rejected. he had always been strict in this aspect and never looked at relationships. When he announced his retirement five years ago, a large number of assassins and bounty hunters wanted to get his recommendation and take this opportunity to soar. Among them were some of the popular upstarts on the current assassin list and bounty list, but they all returned in failure.”
Thomas stared at link and smiled in relief. “You, on the other hand, are the first and only person he has recommended in the past twenty-five years. I’m afraid that even the Platinum hotels in Dragon City and Faye have heard of your name, not to mention Shandu.”
yes. Thomas reached out his hand, ” John once said that whoever can get his recognition is his friend. I happen to be his friend, so this necklace is a gift for our first meeting. Please don’t reject it, Mr. Lin.”
link stared into thomas’s eyes and saw sincerity.
“Thank you for your reminder, Thomas. I’ll accept this gift, but it only represents our friendship. I can’t accept the heavy friendship of the painter.”
Link accepted the gift and the necklace.
Although he knew about John’s influence in The Platinum Hotel, he didn’t expect this guy to dig such a big hole this time.
Forget about the one omniscient gold coin, now even The Platinum Hotel in Dragon City and Faye were being circulated. Did they not want to cause enough trouble?
Thomas had also kindly reminded him that when the painter retired five years ago, many assassins and bounty hunters had gone to him to get his recommendation first. From then on, they would rise to the top, but in the end, all of them had returned in defeat.
However, just five years later, the painter used the recommendation that he had hidden for twenty-five years to get link into The Platinum Hotel.
Wasn’t this a scam?
What would the killers and bounty hunters who had been rejected over the years think?
Any normal person would definitely wonder how this kid managed to get the artist’s favor.
Link could already imagine the ‘unconvinced youths’ coming from all over the freedom Federation to challenge him.
the challenges were normal, but he was afraid that some radical people would directly assassinate him and want to use him as a stepping stone to rise.
It was simply a huge pit!
This guy actually said that those who were acknowledged were friends. How could he cheat his friends like this?
I, link, have never seen such a shameless person!
Thomas took half a step back and nodded slightly. “Then I’ll head back to the front desk. If you need anything, you can find me there.”
After saying that, he left.
Lin Ke looked at Thomas’s back. This man had a sense of propriety and did not give off the feeling of annoyance. He was indeed a Senior Manager who had worked for 25 years.
Now that he had the necklace, link couldn’t wait to find a quiet place to try it out.
After leaving the service area on the second floor, link went straight to the bar on the third floor.
The bar was a place for the members to relax. In order to ensure privacy, it was decorated with many small cubicles.
the cubicles used special sound-proof technology, signal shielding, and heart flow interference to ensure their safety from three aspects-physics, technology, and superpower. they were connected to each other without leaking privacy.
The Platinum Hotel had put in a lot of effort to protect the privacy of its members.
As long as they didn’t fight in the hotel, they wouldn’t pay attention to the members ‘behavior.
This was also the reason why killers and bounty hunters had been so eager for so many years.
In this line of work, they were always on tenterhooks, and it could be said that it was their greatest wish to have a place where they could put down all their disguises and defenses.
“Please give me a private room, thank you.”
Soon, the staff member brought link to the cubicle.
The design of the cubicles was very simple. They were all made of yellow wood, and there was only a half-high curtain at the door.
Under the premise of ensuring safety, he tried his best to create an elegant and quiet atmosphere.
After the staff left, link opened the box and took out the gold necklace.
The main purpose of coming to Platinum Hotel today was to spend gold coins. He never expected to see jewelry with the same design as the Zerg nest here.
The cold feeling of the gold passed through his palm and into his body.
However, neither the system nor link had any reaction. The necklace lay quietly in his palm.
that shouldn’t be the case. Why isn’t there any reaction? ”
Link furrowed his brows, wondering if the necklace was just for show.
then, lin ke calmed down and thought about it. it seemed like the system was activated when his blood fused with the golden bracelet.
He took out a sharp dagger and made a small cut on his finger.
he then dripped the blood on the gold necklace, and the death beetles and scarabs on the necklace came to life.
The gold cracked and crumbled, turning into a ball of gold residue.
Meanwhile, the death beetle and sacred beetle disappeared from his hand.
link raised his arms. the tattoos on his arms had not changed.
just as link was feeling suspicious, a melodious notification came from the system.
[ you have obtained the Zerg hive (incomplete) ]
[ arachnid hive (incomplete) binding successful ]
[ the synthesis interface is expanding, please wait ]
“I’ve succeeded!”
Link’s eyes were filled with joy.
last time it was activated, this time it was expanded.
He was really looking forward to the new functions that would be expanded.
Soon, new changes appeared on the synthesis interface.
Under the original synthesis formula, a new synthesis formula was added.
1. [ creature ]+[ material ] = [ creature ]
2. [ creature ]+[ material ]+[ material ] = [ creature ]
Originally, he could only add one set of ingredients. Now, he could add two sets.
Link was overjoyed. The newly synthesized creature would have some of the characteristics of the material.
with the addition of these two materials, the pet would gain stronger and more complex abilities.
In other words, Lin Ke would be able to create stronger and more complicated pets in the future!
it was to the extent that link was itching to synthesize something.
Just as link was about to exit the system, he suddenly noticed that the [ missions ] section was glowing with a golden light.
This was the prompt of an unread mission he had received when he was browsing the system.
“Eh? A new mission?”
Link immediately went to the missions section.
A mission appeared on the interface.
[ you have triggered the S-rank Mission [ Heart of the Swarm ]. ]
[ establishing mission hint: before the Zerg Queen is sealed, spread the Zerg’s divine weapon, the hive, to all parts of the universe. ] Only by finding all the fragments of the divine artifact could the Empress come again. every time you find a fragment of a divine artifact, your ability will also improve accordingly! ]
[ current progress: 5% ]
[10[ % stage reward: 1000000 experience points, 50 potential points, Unlocking Talent [ swarm commander ] (20% of the stage reward will be unlocked upon completion) ]
[ mission completion reward: unlock the [ cosmic disaster ] version and receive the title of ‘Zerg Emperor’. ]
Link was dumbstruck after reading it.
“S-rank mission?”
He knew that the hive divine weapon was very powerful, but he had only obtained a fragment when he had escaped, so he didn’t think much about it.
However, after obtaining the fragment today, the compatibility between the two had grown even stronger. This allowed link to directly activate a major main mission in the game universe!
After looking at the rewards, link was defeated by the inhumanity of the s-level mission.
It was only a 10% reward, but it was more than the main mission on wasteland.
As expected of an [ S ] class, he was very generous.
The 1,000,000 experience points and 50 potential points were not attractive to link. Instead, it was the talent [ bug commander ] that attracted his attention.
Talent was the most difficult thing to improve in the attribute panel.
In version 1.0 [ saint’s descent ], the number of NPCs with talent on the three novice planets was less than ten.
Talents were also known as ‘main character template’ by players. NPCs with talents played a pivotal role in the progress of the story of the entire game.
to these npcs, a small planet was not their stage.
What restricted them was only the preliminary settings of the mainframe.
this was the effect of talent. it was so strong that it almost ignored the growth of versions.
With talent, these NPCs would be the most brilliant existences in the universe, regardless of their background.
It was also because of their unparalleled abilities and development prospects that these NPCs had a strong tendency to correct mistakes. This allowed the entire plot of fate to develop under the control of the mainframe.
But now, link only needed to complete 10% of the mission to receive a talent.
This kind of stimulation was no less than obtaining a divine artifact fragment.
I can’t imagine how powerful the rewards for the later stages will be if there’s such a reward for 10%.
Just as link was immersed in his joy, the treasure-hunting mouse jumped out of his pocket and onto his shoulder.
It rubbed Link’s face with its two little paws and said something.
