Chapter 576: Two-Star Task
Pet Beast Center.
After finishing registration, Qiao Sang and Tang Yi walked to different windows to wait.
The layout of the task hall in the Upper Tenth District Pet Beast Center was a bit different from other Pet Beast Centers. Besides going to the window to find staff to filter tasks suitable for oneself, one could also find tasks one liked directly on the task bulletin board by the wall.
Due to the excessive number of wild pet beasts, hundreds or thousands of new tasks were released almost every day.
Some tasks that had been left unaccepted for a long time would be posted on the task bulletin board.
Qiao Sang waited for a long time, and seeing that it would still be a long time before it was her turn, she came to the task bulletin board to take a look.
【Task: Drive away the Pleasure Python】
【Task Location: No. 102 Tongfu Street】
【Task Reward: 10,000 Alliance Coins】
【Task Level: Two-Star】
Qiao Sang looked at the yellowed task sheet nearby, thinking to herself, is this task very difficult? It's just driving away one pet beast, and no one has accepted it?
At this time, a woman wearing a black dress with her hair tied high came to Qiao Sang's side and asked:
"Are you interested in this task?"
Qiao Sang looked to the side, and after confirming that she was talking to her, said:
"No, I'm just curious why no one has accepted this task?"
The woman's gaze glanced at Like Ya Bao without a trace, and she asked instead of answering: "You're not from around here, are you?"
Qiao Sang nodded and said "Hmm".
The woman withdrew her gaze and didn't ask further. She answered the previous question: "The tasks hanging on this wall are either too difficult, the rewards are too low, or they are like this one, where the information is inaccurate."
"Several groups of Beast Tamers have accepted the task of driving away the Pleasure Python, but they all returned and canceled the task immediately after going there."
"Why?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.
The woman shrugged: "Because it wasn't one Pleasure Python being driven away, but a group of Pleasure Pythons."
The difficulty of the task between the two is completely different... Qiao Sang was shocked and asked: "Since the task information is known to be wrong, why not change it?"
The woman said lightly:
"We have too many wild pet beasts here, but the number of Beast Tamers is limited. There aren't enough people, so there's no way to verify the information of every task clearly. The specific situation of some tasks might not be verified until a year later."
No wonder so many tasks have no one to accept them. Doing work worth 100,000 but only getting a reward of 10,000; anyone shouldn't be willing... Qiao Sang complained silently in her heart.
For the next period of time, Qiao Sang continued to look at the task sheets on the task bulletin board for a while.
The woman didn't leave either, chatting from time to time.
Suddenly, the woman asked: "I have a task here; I don't know if you're interested?"
At the same time, several Beast Tamers not far away looked over here, chatting with a mentality of watching the fun:
"Maiya is looking for someone to do the task again."
"It's been almost three months, and she still hasn't given up."
"If it weren't for the fact that Dapingfa spoke up, I would quite like to help her."
"Look at her, she's even looking for children now."
"This child doesn't look like someone from our Upper Tenth District at all; I haven't even seen the pet beast in her arms."
"Maiya's goal now is to find people from other districts."
"Didn't she find someone from the Sixteenth District last month? In the end, that person gave up because of Dapingfa."
On the other side, Qiao Sang asked:
"What task?"
"There is a Wood-Pulling Monster that puts all kinds of trash at my door every day, and sometimes it even gets into my house to make trouble. I hope you can help me drive it away." Maiya said in a deep voice.
Wood-Pulling Monster, a grass-type intermediate pet beast... Information about the Wood-Pulling Monster flashed through Qiao Sang's mind. Her staying up late to study during this period wasn't in vain; she had roughly understood a little about some pet beasts on Super-Host Star.
"Why don't you go directly to the window to find staff to release the task?" Qiao Sang asked curiously.
Maiya's eyes flickered: "I did, but no one accepted it for a while. I don't really want to wait. I see that the pet beast in your arms seems to be fire-type; it should be able to restrain the Wood-Pulling Monster just right."
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and refused:
"Sorry, this task might not be suitable for me."
The assessment is that the higher the task difficulty, the higher the points. Driving away a grass-type intermediate pet beast obviously has no difficulty. Even if completed, it's estimated that it won't get very high points.
"Why?" Maiya asked, puzzled.
Because it's too simple... Qiao Sang said directly: "I'm still a student. Coming here to accept tasks is for my school's assessment, and there are requirements for the tasks. At the very least, I have to accept a task that a D-level Beast Tamer can accept."
Maiya's eyes lit up when she heard this; she really was a student!
She had noticed when the girl in front of her came in that, whether from her temperament or her pet beasts, she was clearly not from the Twenty-Fifth District. She was young and a Beast Tamer, and she had a pet beast she didn't recognize and a Little Steel Falcon. If nothing went wrong, she was a student from the Upper Tenth District who came here to train.
Children who came here to train from the Upper Tenth District like this all had high-level Beast Tamers protecting them in the dark and wouldn't be harmed in a real sense.
Only people with backgrounds like this wouldn't be threatened by that guy Dapingfa!
Maiya took a deep breath and said seriously:
"My task is rated as two-star by the Pet Beast Center, which is a task that only C-level Beast Tamers and D-level Beast Tamers can accept."
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment. After staying on Super-Host Star for more than a month, she also understood a lot about the situation here.
Tasks at the Pet Beast Center on Super-Host Star are generally divided into five levels, with five-star tasks being the highest and one-star tasks being the lowest. According to the level of the Beast Tamer, one can only choose tasks that match or are relatively low in difficulty for one's own level.
Like one-star tasks, they are usually the choice of E-level and F-level Beast Tamers.
And two-star tasks are the choice of D-level Beast Tamers and C-level Beast Tamers.
Of course, D-level Beast Tamers and C-level Beast Tamers can also choose one-star tasks, but they cannot choose tasks of three stars or above, which fundamentally eliminates the danger encountered when doing tasks.
However, there is nothing absolute. Even if Beast Tamers accept tasks that match their abilities, there will still be certain dangers in a place like Super-Host Star where wild pet beasts are everywhere.
Just driving away an intermediate pet beast, and it was actually assigned to two stars? Qiao Sang didn't quite believe it in her heart and asked:
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Maiya took out her phone, operated it, opened the task commission sheet, and put it in front of Qiao Sang:
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the counter and ask the staff later."
Qiao Sang lowered her head and looked carefully at the task commission sheet displayed on the phone screen. It was indeed listed as a two-star task.
But why... Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and said:
"I will go and ask, but I don't guarantee that I will accept your task then."
"It's okay." Maiya smiled: "I'm very happy that you can take my task as one of the backups."
Qiao Sang didn't speak again, and then she thought of something and asked casually:
"By the way, what is the reward for this task?"
Ten minutes later.
Window No. 27 finally reached Qiao Sang.
She walked to the window, sat down, and handed over her identity card and Beast Tamer badge.
The staff member who received hundreds of clients every day was already numb and didn't look at the detailed information at all. She just compared the photo avatar, confirmed it was the person, and asked according to the process:
"Are you accepting a task?"
Qiao Sang said "Hmm".
"Do you have any requirements for the task you want to accept?" the staff member asked again.
"The harder, the better." Qiao Sang said without thinking.
This sentence finally made the staff member reveal a facial expression outside of work mode. She looked up in surprise, not expecting that there would be a client who made such a bizarre request.
But soon, the staff member returned to work mode and operated on the computer.
Not long after, tasks available for selection appeared on the screen in front of Qiao Sang.
She browsed quickly and found that there were no tasks with particularly high difficulty.
Originally in her mind, at the very least, one had to go deep into the activity area where wild pet beasts gathered to complete the task to reflect the difficulty.
After all, if it were on Blue Star, the assessment would have to go to a secret realm. The intention of the task assessment should also be to hope that those participating in the assessment could come into contact with more wild pet beasts, but there was nothing like that on this list.
Qiao Sang pondered for a while and asked deliberately:
"Can I ask why the task of driving away the Wood-Pulling Monster is classified as two-star?"
"Do you know the name of the person who released the task?" the staff member asked.
Qiao Sang nodded: "Maiya."
When chatting earlier, the other party had mentioned it.
"Please wait a moment." The staff member said and lowered her head to check.
After about two minutes, she looked up and said:
"This task has been released for nine months. During this period, a total of 16 Beast Tamers have accepted the task, but they all gave up in the end. Based on the time of release and the number of times multiple Beast Tamers failed to complete it, it was upgraded from a one-star task to a two-star task."
Just driving away an intermediate pet beast, and actually 16 Beast Tamers failed to complete it... Qiao Sang realized that this task wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface.
Just take a gamble; anyway, there are no particularly difficult tasks among the others... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang decided decisively:
"I'll accept this task."
"Okay." The staff member said while operating on the computer: "Please sign on the screen in front and click confirm."
The screen switched, and a task handover sheet appeared.
Qiao Sang signed her name nimbly and pressed confirm.
At the same time.
Pet Beast Center.
Second floor.
Task Management Department.
The work phone rang.
The staff member wearing a black uniform answered the phone.
A clear and standard voice came from the speaker: "Task number 0, drive away the Wood-Pulling Monster, already verified, there are two resistances behind it, one is human-made, and the other is a group of wild Scale-Armored Moths, it is recommended to upgrade to a three-star task."
"Received." The staff member hung up the phone. ===== CHAPTER 577 =====
