Black Spider? This is a small BOSS-level character.
It stands to reason that such a task should be set to D-level difficulty, and the normal reward is at least 30,000 experience points.
The task mechanism of "Star Ocean" is very detailed. Even if a team of players accepts the same task, the task requirements of each person are slightly different, and different rewards are given according to the level and positioning of the player.
Some commercial players do not like to fight monsters, specializing in manufacturing and logistics. When they join the team to accept tasks, the difficulty and rewards will be reduced. For example, for monster-killing tasks, combat players who charge in the front and have the greatest responsibilities will receive the highest task rewards, followed by healing and auxiliary players. Logistics players who follow the team to gain experience will receive the least task rewards, which reduces the situation where the rich pay the studio to lead the team to gain experience.
Han Xiao hated this mechanism in his previous life, which led to his very quiet business of leveling. On the contrary, the most popular business was to help people seek revenge, and he practiced a peak PK technology.
Han Xiao encountered this situation. The reason for the reduction of rewards was obviously because he was a backup in this operation and did not have to fight the black spider himself. The task reward was directly linked to the difficulty.
"Alas, although it's a little less, at least it's better than no experience."
Han Xiao had to comfort himself like this, at least there was another source of experience.
According to his understanding of Black Spider, this mission was to give away 5,000 experience points for free. Li Yalin's secret service team could defeat Black Spider with their eyes closed. What he cared about was the special reward.
There was no need to think too much. Han Xiao knew very well what the hidden requirements were. Just like Lin Yao said, arrest Black Spider.
Black Spider's ability was very difficult to deal with. It was ten times more difficult to catch him than to defeat him. And now no one knew that Black Spider was a superpower. His ability was not exposed until after the public beta. However, Han Xiao knew the weakness of Black Spider's ability very well.
The system was a dead thing. It would only judge the gap between the two sides based on the panel strength, and judged that the probability of him completing the hidden requirements was very small.
If the team listened to his command, he was 80% sure that he could catch Black Spider.
"I think I can give it a try." Han Xiao said secretly.
Li Yalin was still obsessed with the light-equipped power arm, and asked, "How much does it cost if I order it? How long will it take to get it?"
"A light-equipped power arm costs 20,000, and you have to pay 10,000 in advance. You provide the materials, and I will make it for you. You can get it in two days."
Li Yalin's face was bitter. This was almost as much as his monthly salary, but she still decided to buy it. She had to take action in the evening, and she would definitely not have enough time. She asked, "Do you have any other machines, ready-made ones?"
Han Xiao thought about it and didn't want to expose the high-intensity bullet for the time being, so he took out the folding battle knife. The 10-centimeter black metal handle attracted the three people to look over.
"What's the use of this?" Li Yalin asked in a puzzled tone.
Han Xiao smiled slightly, pressed his finger on the micro-mechanism on the handle, and swung it violently. The blades were swung out of the handle like strips, and immediately turned into a nearly 70-centimeter black alloy knife, which was sharp and aggressive.
"This thing is called a folding sword."
Li Yalin's eyes lit up. She chose the baton as a weapon because she valued its portability, but the folding sword was better. It was not only more secretive, but also more powerful. She reached out to touch the folding sword, but Han Xiao avoided it.
"One thousand for one."
Han Xiao laughed. The cost price of the folding sword was only about three hundred. He was very conscientious not to ask for two thousand.
"Stingy! You are so greedy!" Li Yalin was angry. She took out her wallet and gave her one thousand. Han Xiao then gave her the folding sword and explained the operation in detail. Li Yalin immediately loved it and started to play with it.
Lambert suddenly said: "I want to order ten. I wonder if it can be reduced to about thirty centimeters."
Business is coming! Han Xiao was delighted and nodded: "No problem."
"I hope to get it before the action tonight."
"Yes, as long as the materials are in place."
The initial molding and polishing of the folding sword can be completed in batches using a stamping lathe, which is very efficient.
Lin Yao hesitated and said, "I also want to buy one for self-defense."
Han Xiao was a little surprised. Folding knives are novice equipment, but they are so popular among agents?
He didn't know that because the R&D department has been doing nothing all year round, the Thirteenth Bureau's agents are hungry for new equipment. Although the folding knives are simple in technology, for agents, only portable and secret equipment can adapt to complex tasks.
Agents' melee weapons are generally daggers. Think about it, if you encounter agents from other forces, the enemy takes out a dagger more than ten centimeters long, and you take out a knife that is nearly one meter long, which is much longer. You will win in terms of momentum. It's the same principle as men competing in the toilet.
...
The materials were provided by Lambert and Lin Yao. Han Xiao borrowed the private workshop of the logistics department. The equipment was very advanced, which greatly reduced the manufacturing time of the folding knives. Before the action at night, Han Xiao mass-produced eleven customized folding knives and successfully rushed them out.
He started with 11,000 Aquamarine Coins. He only paid for the technology cost, and also gained a lot of manufacturing experience, about 8,000 experience points, making a small profit.
This made him more certain that the private orders of the Thirteenth Bureau agents were a huge potential market.
Li Yalin and the other two took their equipment and set out to hunt down the Black Spider. Han Xiao stayed in the Secret Operations Department, responsible for logistics command and sorting out the mission details sent by the Intelligence Department.
The pinhole cameras and micro headsets of the three teammates were connected to the three computer screens in front of Han Xiao. The pictures and sounds were synchronized. Han Xiao could see the pictures that Li Yalin and the other two experienced. His duty was to pay attention to the changes in the situation at any time and give prompts and instructions, which was equivalent to the role of commander.
Of course, as a newcomer, although Li Yalin and the other two did not say it, Han Xiao would naturally not completely believe in his judgment in his heart. Because this mission was not difficult, it was just to run in the team, so Han Xiao was asked to act as a commander, but it was impossible to expect them to completely obey orders. The three were experienced agents with their own judgments. Han Xiao's instructions could only serve as a reference for them.
Han Xiao was very calm. Not to mention that he had commanded a fifty-man team to fight a dungeon, he could handle the job with his intelligence advantage.
Black Spider, a super-powered person of the psychic system, was very difficult to deal with. Players ranked him on the list of "the most difficult boss to kill in 1.0 Aquamarine".
…
At night, the stars twinkled.
The slums were located in the eighth district. Unlike the prosperity of other urban areas, it looked very dilapidated. The houses had no roofs, only ceilings made of scrap iron and canvas. They were closely connected to each other, resulting in narrow streets and alleys. Various wet clothes with patches were hung on the balcony. The garbage on the street was not picked up. A large number of drug dealers, prostitutes, gangsters, and vagrants lived here. It was a place of filth and poor public security. The intelligence department showed that Black Spider was hiding here.
Li Yalin and the other two were fully armed. Although Lin Yao was a hacker, he had also received firearms training and had a certain combat effectiveness.
The three of them walked silently in the streets full of sewage. The voltage of the street lights was unstable and kept flickering. The atmosphere was weird and there was no one on the street.
