Chapter 5: Snatching

The brass badge that Ronnie gave him was the voucher for the mission, which corresponded to the rank of the ordinary merit badge, and brass was the lowest level of the mission badge.

But even the lowest-level brass corresponds to steel, and if Black Rock wants to take on the mission, he must also press a certain merit value as collateral.

No way, in the second world, even if you work as a material transport job in the hinterland of a human-controlled area, the danger is not small.

Lighthouse crystals are not recognized by the Holy Pact and cannot be placed in the inventory, so they can only be shipped in vehicles, so there is a risk of being attacked by evil pacters who infiltrate the rear or winged demons from the sky.

The newcomers to the Black Rock card are new to the game, and they are not used to it, and it is easy to be attacked by others.

The real purpose of this merit pledge is actually to give them some warnings that it is best to team up with skilled or veteran players to complete the mission together.

The task that Ronnie grabbed for Xue Hua was a very classic escort mission.

This mission requires him to escort a team of vans carrying lighthouse crystals to the nearest human town, which is a less risky and less rewarding task, but is a great pick up as a newcomer to the profession.

And the most important thing is that although this kind of mission is at the brass level, if Black Rock wants to take it, the battle merit value of the mortgage is actually not much.

Ronnie helped Xue Hua grab this relatively comfortable task, and of course the mortgaged merit value could not be paid in advance.

Xue Hua picked up his Black Rock Merit Card and traded 20 Battle Merit Points to Ronnie.

"Thank you, Big Brother Ronnie."

"No thanks, it's my job, but from now on you're going to have to go it all by yourself."

Ronnie shook his head, then looked at him with some concern.

Newcomers who don't have teammates to take care of them are the most likely to die when they first arrive in the second world, and Ronnie chose the task of escorting the minecart out of consideration for Xue Hua.

After all, it is of course impossible for a minecart convoy to be escorted by only one novice, so this escort mission is a multiplayer mission, and the entire escort team has a total of twelve people.

Although most of them are Black Rock newcomers like Xue Hua, there will also be two steel-level leaders.

This will minimize the risk of the mission, and even if he encounters an attack that he cannot deal with, Xue Hua has a chance to successfully escape.

As a responder, Ronnie can only help Xue Hua to this point at most.

Xue Hua also guessed a little bit about Ronnie's thoughts, although with his strength, there was basically nothing to worry about in the rear of this relatively safe human control area, but he was still very grateful for the care and responsible attitude of this receiver.

"Don't worry, Big Brother Ronnie, I'll take care of myself."

"Well, it's not early, this escort mission will start soon, you make a little preparation, just hurry over, the mission meeting place can be seen along the road over there."

Ronnie nodded, a serious look on his face again.

"So, goodbye Big Brother Ronnie."

"Goodbye, good luck, and hope to see you on the front line in the future."

The two simply said goodbye to each other, and then Xue Hua quickly rushed towards the task meeting place, he followed the direction pointed by Ronnie through several camp paths, and soon saw the so-called mission meeting place.

It was actually the entrance to a cavern, and three minecarts with tarpaulins on their tops parked near the entrance, with a high spike piled up on their roofs, apparently stuffed with lighthouse crystals.

Next to the minecart, seven or eight armored professionals were standing or sitting in place resting and waiting, and a male professional holding a gold-level halberd and wearing a full set of gold-level armor was standing directly behind the convoy, holding a long string of brass mission badges strung together in his left hand.

Xue Hua walked over quickly, and when he walked to him, the man holding the golden halberd stretched out his left hand to him and said in a deep voice.

"Badge?"

Xue Hua glanced at him, and did not immediately take out the badge and hand it to him, but glanced at the number of badges on his bracelet and found that there were only five.

But there are obviously eight professionals here, and one plus him is nine, if this guy is the initiator of the mission, why didn't he collect everyone's badges?

Thinking of this, Xue Hua's eyes slowly narrowed.

"Take out the badge!" The man holding the halberd was obviously impatient, he frowned and stretched out his hand in front of Xue Hua, and yelled at Xue Hua in a very dissatisfied tone.

"You're the initiator of the mission?"

Xue Hua still didn't hand over his badge, and asked rhetorically in a cold voice.

"It's Lao Tzu! Hurry up and grab the mission badge! ”

Hearing Xue Hua questioning his identity, the halberd man became visibly irritable.

Hearing his roar, the professionals on the side of the minecart behind him also cast their eyes and looked at Xue Hua with a look of obvious pity.

"The task initiator should wear the sponsor's armband in the most prominent position and take the initiative to explain the task to the professional who accepts the task."

Xue Hua's voice became colder and colder, and his words made the halberd man's face slowly turn ugly.

"But with you, I have not seen the armband of the initiator, nor have I heard you explain to me the content of your mission, and the professional who receives the task must not lose his badge until the end of the mission, otherwise it will be considered as abandoning the mission... Scold!

Tell me, where are the people you tricked into taking their badges out of before? ”

"Hah! Not bad! The little cub is very clever, much better than the previous idiots!

But you know what? In the second world, sometimes it's better to be stupid! ”

The man holding the halberd saw that his identity was revealed, but he was not annoyed at all, but his expression slowly became hideous.

He slowly raised the halberd in his right hand, and at the same time, a fiery red aura spread out from his feet, enveloping Xue Hua in the aura in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

A flame exploded on the psionic shield beside Xue Hua, and Xue Hua squinted his eyes and found that the guy who attacked him had not been punished by any holy deeds!

"Let your grandfather teach you a lesson! In the Second World, as long as it's not within the shroud of the Lighthouse Crystal, and don't kill people, the Holy Covenant is not as strict as the First World! ”

As he spoke, the halberd man had already waved his halberd with a hideous face, and performed an amazing "revenge" on Xue Hua's legs, obviously preparing to directly cripple Xue Hua with a direct blow and relieve him of his ability to resist!

When the professionals in the rear saw this scene, some people turned their heads away, and some people showed a trace of unbearability and anger on their faces, but in the end, no one came to give Xue Hua a head.

It seemed that the man with the halberd was very strong, so strong that none of them wanted to go toe-to-toe with him.

However, in the face of this thunderous blow, Xue Hua just stretched out a hand in the direction where the halberd was swung with an indifferent expression, and then grabbed the halberd blade of the halberd lightly in the shocked eyes of the halberd man and the professionals!
