The Last Gentleman

Chapter 46: three tasks

Chapter 46 Three Tasks

  【Gentlemen's Hall】

 Everyone sat on the benches painted with brown paint and waited quietly.

Edmund took out the pocket watch engraved with the family's wings emblem from the lining of his pocket.

“Today’s pace is a bit slow...Is it because William joined the team? Normally, a task list will be delivered in ten minutes, but today it has been almost half an hour.”

 At the edge of the seat, black gauze covered her face. Yuliana placed her hands lightly on her legs and said easily:

“Due to special circumstances, William only carried out his first mission after half a year, and he has met the First Gentleman himself, so it is difficult to formulate the strength. Perhaps the people above are discussing it.”

"Right,

 Generally, those who can score 95 points or above will go crazy completing tasks whenever they have a little free time... It is rare to take half a year off directly, so let's wait. "

 Until forty minutes have passed

A middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo and a white bow tie and wearing a tall hat came to the crowd.

 The concave cheeks and convex cheekbones bring about a serious aura.

He also wears a badge on his chest that symbolizes his special status.

"director!"

The well-informed Edmund recognized the position corresponding to the badge at a glance. This person was one of the supervisors of the [Gentlemen's Hall]. He was mainly responsible for troublesome matters above and communicated with high-ranking gentlemen, doctors and other powerful people. Very quickly. Rarely seen in the bottom area.

 The other party did not reply,

Instead, he kept his eyes on Yi Chen and looked up and down.

His purpose of coming down was to see for himself what the recipient of the "First Gentleman" looked like and why he had to rest for half a year.

 After some observation,

 Except for the unknown pet hidden on the shoulder, and the “emblem” that is not shown,

ˆ only comes out with two words - [ordinary].

 Compared to those geniuses who met the First Gentleman when they first came to Zion, they had neither madness nor outstanding characteristics...if only on the surface, the three Edmunds appeared to be even more outstanding.

“Objectively considering your team conditions, I personally increased the difficulty slightly and selected three tasks.

 The list is here, you choose.

If you think that the three tasks on the list are not suitable, you can help you change a new batch. Of course, the difficulty doesn't change much. "

"OK."

 After handing over the envelope, the supervisor had no intention of leaving.

Sitting on the adjacent bench, waiting for the result of their choice... At the same time, he actively expressed that there was no need to worry, and that he had plenty of time.

 The envelope is unfolded,

 Took out three exquisite letters made of cowhide from it.

  1.【Ghost Village Sacrifice】

 Location of the incident: Jungle southeast of Helvin Valley (72km away from Zion)

Pathological testing: Pathological changes confirmed (100%)

  *Category: Psychiatric disorders

 Requirements: Go deep into primitive villages and identify the root causes of disease. Carry out effective area closure, eliminate the source and all villagers, and leave no one behind.

Difficulty (human): ★★★☆

Special reminder: There is a high probability of "severely ill patients" in villages, and a very small probability of "patient zero"

  *Patient Zero is an extremely rare patient who has been infected. But when it reaches the "sick" stage, it can completely get rid of all control from the pathogenic subject and have absolute independence.

If you encounter and confirm to be Patient Zero during the mission, try to persuade him and bring him back to Zion or the nearest [Clinic] or [Cemetery].

 Basic reward: some silver coins, "Gentleman's Skin" 20cm×20cm with the atmosphere of the old world, mission points (high quality) +1.

  *Additional rewards may be given based on completion, discovery of additional clues, etc.

  *If more than 20% of the villagers escape, the mission will be deemed a failure.

  2.【Apartment building with suspected disease】

 Place of incident: Dexton City (103km from Zion)

*Previous excerpt: According to reports from local investigators, the apartment building located at No. 73 Lycon Street often has tenants disappearing (eleven cases). The investigators did not find any abnormalities after using conventional means to detect the incident.

Pathological testing: Not yet found (suspected to be deeply hidden, the pathogen is in the latent growth stage)

˜Requirement: Assist the gentleman investigator-Lambert Chenoway to find out the cause of the disappearance in the apartment building.

Difficulty (human):? ? (The difficulty cannot be assessed until the presence of pathogens and their level and category are found out)

  *If hidden pathogens are discovered, based on Investigator Lambert’s judgment of the incident, actions will be taken to exterminate, request organizational support, or immediately evacuate.

Special reminder: The difficulty of this task cannot be evaluated. There may be a dangerous situation where the apartment building is a pathogen. Please choose carefully whether to accept this task.

 Reward: Provisionally formulated based on the results of the final investigation and incident handling.

  3.【Secret Medicine Recovery】

 Place of incident: Vinal City (about 51km from Zion)

   *Previous excerpt: The "False Moon Incident*" broke out in the city of Vinard two months ago, resulting in the direct death of more than 90% of the residents in the urban area. The entire city was completely paralyzed and eventually turned into ruins.

 The [Twilight Clinic] built on the outskirts of the city was also seriously affected and was forced to be abandoned recently.

  One week ago,

 The gentlemen team responsible for recycling within the organization went to the Twilight Clinic to carry out the ‘secret medicine recycling’.

 Due to incorrect information provided by the clinic, during subsequent manual verification, it was discovered that there was still a bottle of secret medicine that had not been recovered.

 Pathological detection: There is a small probability of pathological remnants of "false moon events".

   *The pathological subject that caused the false moon incident has been completely killed by the gentlemen in the organization, so there is no need to worry.

Require:

  1. Go to [Twilight Clinic] to recover the missing secret medicine.

  2. If you cannot find the secret medicine, please use the Polaroid issued by the organization to take pictures of every corner of the clinic to obtain relevant proof that the secret medicine may have been stolen.

Difficulty (human): ★★★+? (It is impossible to determine whether the remnants of the False Moon incident have grown rapidly, and the difficulty may be greater than three stars)

Special reminder: After confirming to accept this task, you can apply to view some information of the "False Moon Incident".

 Basic reward: some silver coins, "Gentleman's Skin" 20cm×20cm with the atmosphere of the old world, mission points (high quality) +1.

  *Additional rewards may be given based on completion, discovery of additional clues, etc.

  *If you bring back the secret medicine bottle, each person can get one or more drops of the secret medicine source liquid based on their performance.

 …

These three tasks made Edmund’s scalp numb.

 Each variable is greater than the last. Except for the difficulty of the first task, which is slightly stable, the difficulty of the other two tasks is variable.

The most difficult mission I accepted was only two and a half stars... I once encountered an unexpected danger during a mission, which almost caused Dagbert to permanently lose an arm. After everyone came back, they also spent half a month training.

certainly,

 After six months of study and actual combat, the level of the three of them has improved, and Yi Chen, the ‘first gentleman’, has been added to the team.

 It is also reasonable for tasks with three or three-and-a-half stars.

Julianna, who seldom spoke, suddenly suggested in a low voice:

“Captain... Do you want to consider the third mission? Missions related to [Secret Medicine] generally rarely appear, and are rare missions that can only be accessed by high-ranking gentlemen.

According to the previous excerpt, since the recovery team visited a week ago, the clinic must have been cleaned during the recovery of the secret medicine.

If we can use this mission to obtain the secret medicine source liquid in advance, it will definitely be beneficial to our subsequent personal breakthrough. "

“I don’t know what type of secret medicine it is yet, and the “False Moon Incident” is likely to involve some ancient things... I can’t make up my mind either.

William, what do you think? "

Yi Chen simply responded: "I have the same idea as Yuliana. Benefits and risks coexist."

“Okay~ Even if we ask the supervisor to change it, the difficulty is probably not much different. It just so happens that this task is relatively close. If we are lucky enough, maybe we can bring the secret medicine back in one day.

 However, I personally have a request.

 This task will be officially carried out until tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

 This is the first time we have faced a three-star or even more difficult task, and we need to be fully prepared before setting off. "

"Um."
