Chapter 173: Chapter 157 Take a Lead

“Eight hundred points?”

When Tao Yu’s words came out, it wasn’t just Mag who was stunned, but the roughly twenty people gathered outside seemed to perceive some surprise as well.

Without any other bonuses, that would require a task with a difficulty of around eight thousand Yuan Force!

Originally, Wino and Joseph had teamed up for a Python skill and were willing to spend so much time on it.

Huang Jian and Nuosen, along with a whole group of people, entered the rainforest to hunt Aliens, and a single trip’s income wasn’t necessarily this much.

It could be said that this was also considered a substantial income for Inner City.

…

Usually, tasks with eight hundred points are taken by multiple people or consume a lot of time.

It’s just that tasks with eight hundred points are actually okay; the Pioneers present had all more or less participated in them, and even those with over a thousand points weren’t unheard of.

But!

Task rewards are directly proportional to difficulty.

When you add prefixes like ‘not complicated’ ‘can be done by one person’ ‘short duration’ to an eight hundred point task, as veterans in taking on tasks, they deeply understood the difficulty involved!

A greenhorn? Or a master?

The newcomer’s face was somewhat unfamiliar, his equipment standard and nothing special, with no visible signs of exotic implants or mechanical enhancements, nor did they know where he came from.

“Brother, you seem a bit unfamiliar, don’t you rarely come here to the hall to take on tasks?”

A figure with three mechanical arms asked, arms crossed over his chest, one hand still scratching his messy hair, seemingly unable to help but inquire.

“First time.”

There was no need to pretend; he indeed was a new face here.

“You seem quite confident, ‘not complicated’ ‘can be done by one person’ ‘short duration’ ‘high reward’—these are tasks I also want, but it’s a shame they’re too difficult for me to handle.”

The man with three arms continued offhandedly.

“Somewhat confident, yes.”

Tao Yu’s gaze, however, remained mostly focused on Miss Mag, the pink-haired girl with a mechanical arm, who seemed to frown at that moment and then spoke up,

“There are indeed such tasks, but actually, very few people are willing to take them on; they’re not considered good tasks.”

After saying this, she gave Tao Yu another look and added,

“Quite young.”

“Miss Mag is also very young.”

Mag seemed taken aback by Tao Yu’s response, and then chuckled, reaching out to touch her delicate, doll-like, cute cheek.

And then they saw her cheek suddenly ‘pop’ outward, revealing mechanical traces.

“You have a way with words, I like that, but newbie, blind confidence can get you killed.”

After Miss Mag closed her ‘hatch’ on her face again, she said with a smile brimming in her eyes.

Truth be told, her sudden popping motion had also startled Tao Yu a bit, somewhat unexpectedly.

It seemed this petite and cute hall attendant had been working here for quite some time.

“Recently, the new Development Zone has been giving out a lot of point supplements; you’ve set a limit for tasks around eight hundred points—is it that you’ve nearly saved up enough for a mid-level partnership and want to take a shot at it?”

After arranging all the badges, Miss Mag took out a remote control from her bosom and pressed it.

The dim hall immediately lit up.

Various displays also began to roll out and reveal streams of task information.

Apparently, Miss Mag, being a veteran of the mission hall, was quite clear about the recent task point situation and their flow.

Tao Yu didn’t reveal any information, but just by his youthful appearance and the requirements he proposed, she had managed to get a good idea about him.

“Miss Mag is as insightful as ever.”

Tao Yu admitted openly and without denial, which caused the surrounding Pioneers who were secretly sizing up Tao Yu to reveal an ‘I see’ expression.

A few even had a hint of mockery flashing by.

“Haha, such a naïve young man! If becoming a mid-level partner were that easy, we wouldn’t be here working ourselves to the bone.”

The one with the three arms shook his head and chuckled.

“But are the points really that easy to earn in the new Development Zone? It’s only been four months in total, right? And you’re already close to accumulating enough for a mid-level partnership?”

Another Lizardman seemed quite envious.

“I’ve paid some attention to it, and indeed it far exceeds the old Development Zone, sigh, it’s not fair.”

“Are all the newbies nowadays so confident? Doesn’t their family teach them anything?”

“What’s the use of just having points? I have enough points, and I barely managed to complete the task difficulty, but I haven’t passed the assessment seven times.”

A man with a weathered face and no obvious modifications sighed at that moment.

What Miss Mag had said resonated in the hearts of this group of early risers working hard for a partnership.

Being a mid-level partner wasn’t that easy.

“Actually, the difficulty is okay, I passed on my first try. But so what? Don’t I still have to come over here and compete for tasks with you all?”

A man with a total of four mechanical arms said a bit Versailles-like off to the side.

And he apparently had some fame here, as many people laughed and cursed at him.

“Don’t compare us all to you, you have A+ level talent, come on.”

“Exactly, I don’t know why you bother getting up early and competing with us.”

“I can’t take this, I have to do a good task today to calm my nerves.”

“You do have the nickname ‘Four-Armed Vajra,’ after all.”

“…”

Although those rebellious task goers beside him had a jocular tone, Tao Yu could clearly sense a hint of flattery in their words.

They all took on tasks here, but obviously, this ‘Four-Armed Vajra’s’ status stood a cut above the rest.
