The director of the Great Abyss City Alliance's Intelligence Mission Center was surnamed Wang. He was a middle-aged man who, though not yet bald, had already started steeping goji berries in his tea.
His eyes were weary, devoid of all worldly desires.
Recently, he had received instructions from his superiors and had been busy inputting information on a newly discovered Taboo Existence deeply buried within the River of History.
It seemed simple enough, but in reality, he had to explain its codename and threat level without revealing too much information, all to prevent a Taboo Revival.
This meant the process wasn't as simple as sending an email.
He had to call responsible parties in various regions to warn them against recklessly probing the past River of History. The process also involved explaining things to those old-fashioned archaeologists, during which he was chewed out several times…
The life of an adult man was simply exhausting.
After being run ragged by a single sentence from his boss and working a plain, exhausting day, he would return home only to be struck in the kidneys by his own wife, leaving his back sore and his body aching.
The most crucial part was that he couldn't even rouse his manly vigor…
He was tired.
Let the world just end!
"Even so, I still have a say in major household matters. Though there haven't been any major issues in the ten years since marriage… I heard the goji berries produced by the Starlight Goji Tree, a specialty of the City of Stars, are not only beautiful in appearance, dotted with starlight, but one berry is more potent than sixty ordinary ones.
I should find an opportunity to use my private savings to order some and try them out…"
Director Wang was lost in thought as he made his usual rounds. Though it was utterly boring, a leader's inspection was the best way to ensure employees worked hard—at least on the surface.
He walked around once today and found no issues, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to return to his office to delve into virility enhancement secret techniques, he spotted Xu Xiaotao, who looked completely stunned.
She seemed to be a new face?
Director Wang thought back; indeed, a batch of newcomers had arrived that afternoon.
Though she had a childlike face and a curvaceous figure, she couldn't stir even a hint of worldly desire in him.
Still, as a leader, he had to show concern when he saw a subordinate in difficulty:
"Xiao Xu, are you having trouble with your work?"
That was what he said, but it was merely a polite gesture. Superiors hoped you would say everything was fine and handle it yourself.
Xu Xiaotao jolted awake and hurriedly said:
"Director, there seems to be a problem with my system backend. A newcomer has accepted multiple missions at once."
Is that all?
Young people who've never seen real storms just make a fuss over everything!
Director Wang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Accepting multiple missions is normal.
You can do that once your authority level increases. If it's a newcomer, it might be a little guy who exchanged for a Gold Medal.
Every year, there are these arrogant little fellows who take on multiple missions at once, only to end up unable to complete them later. Their mission completion rate drops too low, and they get penalized by the system, unable to accept missions for half a year."
Xu Xiaotao's expression didn't relax in the slightest.
Instead, she grew even more anxious and said urgently, "No, Director, you'll understand if you just take a look!"
Director Wang was also somewhat speechless. These young people really made a big deal out of everything.
He couldn't be bothered to argue and prepared to take a glance before finding an excuse to retreat to his office and rest.
However, that one glance made him freeze completely.
Because this guy with the ID 【Dusk Crow】 had indeed accepted five missions.
But unlike ordinary people, below his five missions, six already completed missions were displayed.
Most of these completed missions were hunting-type missions, but what was unusual was that the time intervals between them were mostly ten minutes, with fifteen minutes at most.
In other words, after completing each mission, he immediately took on the next, achieving a perfect cycle.
Moreover, looking at the trajectory of these mission locations, Director Wang vaguely felt something was off.
"It can't be…"
Director Wang was quite capable, even sensitive to data—otherwise, he wouldn't have become a leader.
A terrifying conjecture surfaced in his mind. He immediately pulled up a map and marked the mission locations, only to find they formed a straight line.
One mission light spot after another was extinguished, lighting up and perfectly arranging into a route heading west!
Director Wang's jaw dropped in shock.
This person was not only powerful but also demonically intelligent.
From a chaotic pile of tasks, he precisely calculated the time and location for each mission and, by strategically sequencing them, devised the most time-efficient route.
To accomplish this, theoretically, this person called 【Dusk Crow】 not only needed a speed-type or spatial-type pet beast but also had to spend most of his time traveling between locations, with only a little time left to complete the missions.
This required…
Instant killing his opponents!
He was like an expert player, treating the real world as a game to be cleared!
But games could be restarted; reality had no logic at all!
Moreover, Director Wang also discovered that this guy had exchanged for the Gold Medal and registered as a Beast Tamer on the same day, meaning…
He had only become a Beast Tamer a few days ago!
Just as they were shocked, another mission was completed, and then a new mission was immediately accepted, continuously moving closer to West City on the map.
The entire process was like opening God's Eye and overlooking the mortal world.
They could even discern his intention.
The target was the final one-and-a-half-star mission: Hunt the Hyena!
The two looked at each other, able to see the horror in each other's eyes, and spoke their thoughts in unison:
"Monster!"
…………………………
On the other side, Lu Yu was unaware that he had already caused a minor sensation and was being regarded as a monster.
At that moment, he stood in a field, eyes closed, enjoying the rural scenery.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the soil around him began to churn.
With a great splash of mud and sand, four one-meter-long Earth-Eating Earthworms burst out of the ground, opening their ferocious maws to bite at Lu Yu.
If bitten, even if he didn't die, he would be badly mangled!
Yet, faced with this close-range assault, Lu Yu merely lowered his head, checked the time on his locked screen, turned, and said:
"It's about time. Time to head to the next mission."
The moment his words fell, countless silk threads spread out, tightly wrapping around the four earthworms that had tried to attack him.
In an instant, they were packaged into four large cocoons that fell to the ground, unable to move.
The battle ended in the blink of an eye.
Mid-stage Servant Earth-Eating Earthworms were already mere ants before the Little Spider.
If the Little Spider awakened an intimidation skill similar to an Overlord Aura, it would further suppress lives weaker than itself!
"Thank you so much for your help! You've saved our village's crops and ensured everyone's food supply!"
"So impressive! As expected of a professional Beast Tamer!"
"That battle was even more domineering than the matches I've seen on TV!"
"……"
Seeing Lu Yu easily handle the earthworms, the Village Chief and villagers of New Leaf Village, who had been watching from afar, gathered around, offering compliments with looks of astonishment.
It had to be known that while the Earth-Eating Earthworms were only mid-stage Servant in strength, they could move freely underground. They loved devouring fertile soil, moved in groups, and attacked living beings from below, striking and then fleeing.
Because of this trait, even peak Servant pet beasts couldn't do much against them and were easily overwhelmed and injured if the earthworms swarmed them.
The village's Guardian Beast had been injured for this very reason, forcing them to seek outside help.
But above peak Servant was the Silver Rank Beast Tamer. Most of them took on Silver missions, and the village's offered payment was far too little to attract them.
Initially, the Village Chief had been somewhat disappointed when he saw Lu Yu arrive. Then, when Lu Yu walked straight to the center of the field, he thought him a reckless fool and was prepared to call an ambulance.
Yet, to his surprise, all the earthworms attacked as usual, only to be defeated in the blink of an eye.
It was as simple as eating or drinking.
If not for the fact that his profile indicated he was only a Red Copper Rank Beast Tamer, they would have thought a Silver Beast Tamer had come to do a good deed.
Beast Tamers were already above ordinary people, and the strong among them were especially revered.
"It's what I should do."
Lu Yu smiled in response, polite yet not overly familiar.
He declined some villagers who wanted to set him up with their daughters, then quickly completed the handover with the Village Chief.
Next, he just had to wait for the Beast Tamer Association's phone follow-up.
Once confirmed with the village committee, the money would be transferred to his card.
As for the disposal of the Earth-Eating Earthworms, naturally, he took them away.
The villagers had no objections to this.
They were also afraid that mishandling might let the earthworms escape again, and they didn't know how to harvest materials anyway, so they left it to the professionals.
"Though the Gold Medal allows up to twenty missions, there are only seventeen hunting missions suitable for this route. Ten missions are already completed, so seven remain. Calculating the time, I should just make it to the final hyena mission."
Lu Yu pondered.
With the computational power assistance of the 【Eye of Truth】, he had arranged a route that allowed for rapid mission grinding. Combined with the two permissions of the Gold Medal, he could perfectly utilize the time difference.
It allowed him to achieve a legendary feat of mission grinding.
This single trip would net him an income of two to three hundred thousand, easily surpassing all his previous savings.
However, it also required tremendous effort. Theoretically, the Little Spider couldn't sustain such frequent battles; even now, it was somewhat tired.
"But, I'm going to be a cheater!"
Lu Yu looked at the Little Spider, who nodded in response. The cross on its body glowed, a Void Fissure opened, and the Void Matriarch's Nest activated.
A black cloud descended, and within the black mist, numerous ferocious giant mouths emerged, bizarre and absurd, like the revival of the Gluttonous Demon God.
Fortunately, he had chosen a small grove; otherwise, people might mistake it for the start of an Evil God Ritual.
The pet beast flesh and blood from previously defeated missions were digested at this moment, nurturing the Little Spider's Servitors.
Crimson light spread, transforming into streams of radiance that shot out from the Void Fissure.
The Void Slave Beasts, Have arrived!
Starting a new plot, sharpening my blades for the hunt. A new day, continuing to ask for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.
Love you all!
