Chapter 131: Instance Mission Hot Spring Motel
Yu Jiang’s Team remained on high alert throughout, until the other team’s vehicle convoy drove far away and gradually disappeared from sight, then they finally lowered their weapons.
Usually missions are released at night, but today at 3 p.m., Yu Jiang said to go around nearby to see if they could pick up some supplies.
From yesterday until now, they’ve only seen a total of 4 Iron Boxes, three of which were monsters, and one had just two bottles of water and two Compressed Biscuits.
The probability of acquiring supplies is ridiculously low to this extent, no wonder someone on the public screen roasted a Beetle, then their mouth turned poison purple, and they came to Yu Jiang to buy Detox Pills.
Yu Jiang had just opened the Car Door when the Instance Mission arrived, she took the Bayonet and sat back Inside the Vehicle, first checking the system messages.
[Slippery snowy roads, so to let all players arrive at the Instance Parking Plaza in time, mission tracking is enabled in the afternoon. Isn’t it very thoughtful!]
Indeed, to get players to participate in instances, the system is really making an effort.
Still three cards to choose from.
This time there were no one-star instances, all two-star, Yu Jiang’s gaze fixed on the first choice.
It had the Skill Upgrade Mission marker.
Hot Spring Motel, find Manjusaka and gather 5 plants to obtain the skill ‘Poison Master’s Blessing’.
Yu Jiang must go, however, this instance difficulty is slightly above two stars, and it allows two-person teaming.
Tip: Careful! The monsters here can ignore defense and insta-kill oh~
Yu Jiang first sent the Instance Information in the Team Channel, thinking to discuss it and see if anyone could team up.
As soon as she sent the message, Shi Xu replied, “I’m going to Hot Spring Motel too, have a mission.”
Yu Jiang: “Come discuss?”
“Okay.”
After saying that, less than a minute later, Shi Xu knocked on her Car Door, Yu Jiang simply called the other three teammates over to sit and discuss.
“You two have the same team instance? Nice.” Lightning Mage King sighed.
Entering instances is still better with a team, at least no need to gamble on unreliable strangers.
“Can’t you team up with Kuang Kuang Kuang too.” Yu Jiang unscrewed the Thermos Cup and took a sip of water.
“I’m planning to team up with Strawberry Candy!” Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy chimed in.
At this point, Yu Jiang looked at Shi Xu, “Is it a Professional Achievement upgrade mission? No problem if you’re not convenient to say.”
“Nothing inconvenient.” Shi Xu’s voice was calm, “Sort of, this profession periodically releases Kill Missions, and failure times affect upgrades.”
And so, the two of them selected the Hot Spring Motel instance in team mode together.
Everyone in the Team Channel was also discussing teaming up, Sad Pig Intestine and Purple Butt Can Do It, Sixth Brother Blacksmith all still had a 1-star instance, but all single-player.
After deep consideration, they ultimately decided to team up with companions for the 2-star instance.
One-star instances give low-level Vehicle Upgrade Cards, which they no longer need, and besides, instance difficulties are always increasing, even supports have to keep up with the team’s progress.
Otherwise, no matter how good the relationship, teammates won’t delay their own strength improvement progress to carry others in the future.
Seeing everyone so competitive, the people who originally only planned to play safe and survive felt a surge of fighting spirit rise in their hearts.
In survival games, being weak is the original sin, let’s go all out!
The team quickly formed up, fairly luckily, this time in the team except Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire, everyone else could team up to enter the instance.
Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire went to a single-player instance, with his combat power, no problem.
One hour instance selection time ended, Mission Tracking activated, and Instance Information viewable simultaneously.
[Instance starts tomorrow at 8:30 a.m., arrive on time!
Instance Introduction: Hot Spring Motel
Difficulty: Slightly Above Two Stars
Players: 10 (Random Grouping)
Instance Time: 48 hours
This is a historic Hot Spring Motel famous for its ancient architecture, but now in decline.
Mission: Investigate clues inside the motel, progress below 80% means mission failure!
Tip: Careful, steady, calm!
Don’t easily trust strangers! Find the monsters’ attack mechanism to improve survival rate.]
Hiss, meaning this instance’s monsters can insta-kill, but they have prerequisites to cast skills, which can be avoided during investigation.
But they need to take down this monster, inevitably facing it head-on.
Damage ignores defense, which doesn’t matter to Yu Jiang, she’s Squishy anyway, high defense low attack would be at a disadvantage here.
After discussing, everyone set off immediately, instance opens at 8:30 a.m., better to overnight at Parking Plaza than on Parallel Road.
Considering the RV is too obvious a target in the instance, Leaderboard Player info is valuable, who knows how many are watching.
Yu Jiang asked Purple Butt Can Do It, no suitable items in Merchant Team, she offered to trade with meds, even two portions of Popeye’s Spinach.
Purple Butt Can Do It said he’d ask, during Instance Mission period, meds are valuable, especially Yu Jiang’s Popeye’s Spinach which hasn’t been sold publicly.
Heavy rewards bring brave men, just a few minutes later there was news.
“Battle-damaged Vehicle Cover, effectiveness period one week, can switch directly on the Light Screen, outsiders see your vehicle as beat-up, one Prop Card, my negotiated price is one Popeye’s Spinach, two Intermediate Healing Potions, one Wind-Cold Powder, or 700 Crystal Coins.”
This thing, whoever buys it knows, ordinary players can’t use it, can only sell to Big Shots wanting to hide vehicle true condition, so the price is only acceptable to Big Shots.
“Deal! This one.” Yu Jiang immediately gave the meds to Purple Butt Can Do It.
Shi Xu paid with Crystal Coins.
After getting it, open Vehicle interface Light Screen, press the card on, click use.
The originally pristine new-looking RV Shell instantly became dirty and battered, Car Front dented from collision, rust spots on the Shell.
Pretty good, Yu Jiang nodded in satisfaction.
Others can also pick 6-7 meter old trucks at start, so saying this is a beat-up RV picked at start is reasonable too.
On the Road, good Vehicles reduce unnecessary trouble, but in instances better to hide info first.
After handling this, everyone parted here, heading to Instance Entrance with new teams.
87km mileage, normal speed one hour enough, snowy weather doubles the time.
Yu Jiang and Shi Xu arrived around 6 p.m. in the evening, sky already dark.
Other players not in yet, like last Farm Instance, upon entering Parking Plaza, temperature changed.
–
10 to -7 degrees, light snow falling, instance will have this weather too.
Yu Jiang took her Weapon and searched around, found nothing, trees are evergreens, too much moisture, too smoky as firewood, so she didn’t chop any.
First back to RV to change out extreme cold gear, one Warm Clothing, one cashmere sweater, plus a long down jacket sufficient.
Not long after, the 4 groups behind arrived one after another, all nicknames hidden.
Vehicles visually level three or four, one like Ford F-150 Raptor Off-road Vehicle, driver is player 5 female, her companion player 6 also a girl.
10 people, 7 male 3 female,
“This is an RV?” Player 3 male looked over in shock.
“First time seeing an RV in this game, can I take a look?”
Say player 1 has strength, her RV is pretty beat-up, say she doesn’t, driving RV without being robbed.
“Not convenient.” Yu Jiang refused without hesitation.
She won’t allow any strangers to step one foot into her RV, even if they seem friendly on the surface.
