308: Trial mission

Virtual Universe.

The Virtual Universe Corporation's branch on Qianwu Continent welcomed a group of six Cosmic-level martial artists.

Amidst the bustling crowds, these six individuals were unremarkable, blending in perfectly.

As the first branch on Qianwu Continent, the Virtual Universe Corporation had invested a substantial amount of manpower, resources, and finances here.

This group was Chen Fan and his companions, who, after hearing Gui Ya and Ghost Thorn explain the trial mission, wished to investigate further.

"Gentlemen, how may I assist you?"

As soon as Chen Fan and the six entered the administrative hall, a tall woman in a uniform immediately greeted them, her expression respectful and smiling.

"We are here to accept a trial mission."

"Then please present your identification."

"Here you go!"

Chen Fan pulled out an identification card custom-made by the Virtual Universe Corporation from his pocket and handed it to the service staff.

The other five followed suit, taking out theirs as well.

Yaso had prepared these identification documents for them long ago.

"Beep!"

"Beep!"

...Six clear 'verification successful' sounds rang out, and the uniform-clad woman's expression grew even more respectful.

"Welcome, esteemed sirs, please follow me."

Then, the uniform-clad woman led the way, with Chen Fan and the six following behind.

"Mm." Chen Fan and the other five exchanged glances, all nodding.

"Let's go."

Taking the exclusive elevator, Chen Fan and his companions quickly arrived on the 119th floor, following the uniformed staff member.

Even the Virtual Universe Corporation's branch on Qianwu Continent was towering and magnificently decorated, far beyond what ordinary forces could rival.

Inside a private hall.

Led by the staff, Chen Fan and the six sat around a sofa and began their discussion.

"Sirs, it's like this!"

The beautiful staff member took out an optical computer while speaking respectfully.

"According to the danger level of trial missions, they are divided into six grades, which are—"

"Safe, Normal, Difficult, Trial, Dangerous, and Desperate."

As the beautiful greeter's slender fingers moved, the estimates and danger levels of each trial mission were displayed one by one.

Corresponding trial points also appeared simultaneously.

[Safe: 0.001% mortality rate, 1 mission completion point, 1x number of people for team points]

[Normal: 0.1% mortality rate, 50 mission completion points, 50x number of people for team points]

[Difficult: 0.9% mortality rate, 150 mission completion points, 150x number of people for team points]

...[Desperate: 80% mortality rate, 10000 mission completion points, 10000x number of people for team points. Recommended level: World Lord Rank Seven and above]

"These are really clearly divided!" Ma Liang's eyes widened as he meticulously examined the grading, difficulty, and corresponding rewards of these six-level missions, exclaiming involuntarily.

"From a one in a hundred thousand mortality rate to an eighty percent mortality rate, these six levels are very distinct."

Thunder God looked at the six missions on the screen, his eyes deep.

This might be tricky!

After watching for a while, Thunder God rubbed his bald head, secretly pondering countermeasures in his mind.

Unfortunately, to no avail.

Then, he turned to Chen Fan and asked, "Boss Fan, what do you think?"

"Yes, Laoda, what do you think!?" x3

At this moment, even Hong looked at Chen Fan, seemingly awaiting his decision.

Ever since Chen Fan achieved five consecutive victories by fighting one against five in the Decisive Battle Space, he had become the undisputed leader of this group.

Therefore, even Hong and Thunder God acknowledged Chen Fan's status.

After all, his strength was undeniable!

Hearing everyone's words, Chen Fan stared at the screen, a thoughtful expression on his face.

One minute... three minutes... "Then I... I'll choose the Trial Rank. The difficulty isn't low, and the points awarded for completing the mission are also very high."

Finally, in the fifth minute, Chen Fan gave his answer.

He stared intently at the [Trial Rank] mission on the screen, speaking softly.

The recommended level for this mission was Universe Rank Seven and above, which was just right.

Considering Chen Fan's current combat power, plus the help of the other five, the actual combat power they could unleash was quite formidable.

"Beauty, we'll choose the Trial Rank mission." Chen Fan looked at the staff member with a smile, stating his answer.

"Very well, sir."

"However, sirs, you must know that the Trial Rank mission has a mortality rate of 8%, awards 7500 points upon completion, has no time limit, and once completed, you can be teleported back."

"Also, in the trial world, you must not act on emotion or disrupt the rules of that trial world. Otherwise, you will be severely punished by the monitoring system!"

At this point, the uniform-clad woman's voice suddenly intensified by two degrees.

"Furthermore, the rewards for team completion and individual completion of Trial Rank missions are different. It's up to you how you distribute them."

Everyone listened very carefully, nodding and noting down these key points.

"We choose team cooperation."

Chen Fan said firmly.

The Trial Rank mission ranked third among the six missions, neither too high nor too low.

But for Chen Fan, stability and familiarity were key.

Besides, they were only here to accumulate enough points to become core members, not to die.

Although the Desperate Rank mission offered many points, the recommendation of 'World Lord Rank and above' had already made Chen Fan dismiss the idea.

Currently, Chen Fan was confident in dealing with all experts below Domain Lord Rank Five.

But facing a World Lord, he had no other recourse beyond those few precious trump cards.

Only after familiarizing himself and the others with this trial mission could he allow the others to go solo smoothly.

This was Chen Fan's most important goal.

"Alright, sir, for the six of you, a teleportation fee of six hundred cosmic coins is required, and you must specify the teleportation location. We will then dispatch a special spaceship to pick you up."

"Six hundred cosmic coins, one hundred per person, is it that expensive?"

Xue Zhan was startled.

"Yes, sir, due to the considerable distance, we will choose a more advanced spaceship!" The uniform-clad woman replied respectfully.

"Then, how long will a round trip take, approximately!?" Ma Liang asked.

"Generally, a trial mission lasts anywhere from six months to two years, which is relatively fast."

"Understood." x6

Listening to the beautiful woman's explanation, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't ten or eight years, that was good!

"Gentlemen, one last reminder."

Chen Fan looked at the uniform-clad woman: "Speak."

"Due to the uniqueness of the Trial Rank mission, only the Barren World is currently open, with no other mission worlds available. Do you wish to proceed?"

"Only one mission world, no other options?" Chen Fan asked uncertainly.

"Yes, no other options."

Chen Fan and his group: "..."

"Then the Barren World it is!"

"Everyone should be fine with that, right?"

As Chen Fan's gaze swept over them, everyone's resolve was firm: "No problem at all."

"Alright, please leave your coordinates in the Original Universe, and our exclusive spaceship will arrive there to pick you up."

"Milky Way Galaxy, Black Rose Star." After Chen Fan spoke, he input all the corresponding coordinates.

"OK!"

"We wish all sirs a smooth journey!"

"Thank you!" Chen Fan and his group smiled.

It was their first time participating in a trial mission, and everyone was a little excited.

After all, the points determined whether they could become core members of the Virtual Universe Corporation.

One hundred thousand points were needed to complete the identity transformation.

For Chen Fan and his group, it was a very challenging endeavor.

However, the greater the challenge, the more excited they became.

"Barren World..." Chen Fan looked at the introduction on the optical computer, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.
