Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Rules

Sylas scanned the list of missions.

There weren't many direct threats to a System City's army in practice, so most often the members of the military were used to maintain order and do some cleanup work in the

surrounding territory.

These simple missions, though, were usually left to simple infantry soldiers. For Sylas, who was a Captain, he had access to a higher grade of missions, ones that were related to the overall safety of the city or gave him a chance to participate in the betterment of the city overall.

These missions might as well have been a cheat code toward accessing all of the most valuable resources in the surroundings. Not just this, but he would have the support of ten men in doing so.

As expected, some of the same spawned villages that had been on Gregory's list were present here as well. Not only were they here, but they had breakdowns of the strength of these villages as well. Some even recommended that two or more Captain squads work together to fulfill them.

The closest was about 20 kilometers away, and the furthest was easily over a hundred away. But that was just the start. On this list, there were also Dungeons, the location of strategic resources, and even escort missions related to other human settlements and System Cities in some cases.

The last of these three seemed insignificant, but it was essentially giving Sylas the exact location of Cassarae's most fearsome opponents, on top of also giving him the chance to spread his influence across several System Cities. _{freёweɓnovel.com}

He wasn't yet sure if it was possible to become a noble in multiple cities, but when he had firmly established himself here, there would be nothing stopping him.

Sylas calmly memorized every mission that was here before he accepted one and then turned away.

[Hobgoblin Village 182]

[Reward: 1,200 Hero Points]

[Evaluation: 50 warriors of a Level 12 average. There are 10 elites at the Level 15 stage, and their Leader is Level 17. Hobgoblin 182 is classified as a high-class threat. It is recommended for a Colonel to head this mission. However, there is a case where several Captains can tackle it alone.

[The Hobgoblins are very organized, and as such, their schedule is very rigid and easy to follow. This can be taken advantage of if swift action is taken. Fair warning, the Hobgoblins are far more intelligent than their Goblin Race counterparts. As such, without solid planning or the help of a master strategist, this path can very easily backfire.]

There were very few Colonel-level missions like this one that Sylas could take on as a Captain, so he didn't have a very great selection. Other than this one, there were only three others that wouldn't be enough to get him to the 10,000 Hero Point mark he needed. This was especially so considering that he would also need to pay his subordinates in Hero Points as well based on their contribution.

But he had his own plans. There was more to gain from these raids than just Hero Points alone. And... he also had his mind on something else.

[Oceanic Chaos]

[Reward: 235,000 Hero Points]

[Evaluation: An underwater portal has appeared beneath the ocean and has begun to cause problems for the ecosystem. Large oceanic creatures fall from the skies from time to time, but the biggest issue is the continuous flow of salted waters.

[Find a method to solve this problem and you will be handsomely rewarded.]

This mission could only be accepted by Colonels and above. It was clear that no one believed anyone weaker would be capable of doing it, and even further, giving Colonels a chance was already being quite generous.

Sylas couldn't complain about this even if he wanted. Dealing with this problem was a massive undertaking and most wouldn't even know where to start.

He, however... had a method. This method would be very dangerous nonetheless, but so long as he could manage to become a Colonel and succeed, he would have a one-way pipeline to General.

No one would be able to stop him.
