Chapter 242 - Beginner’s Mission!

The two women were shocked when they heard Moss had chosen the codename “Name Stolen.”

After two minutes, the two women gathered their thoughts and said in a fluster, “Okay, come with us.”

After a while, the two women led Moss through many portals and finally arrived at a brightly lit area. As soon as they entered, Moss could feel the city’s hustle and bustle.

Multiple rows of houses neatly stretched on endlessly, and he could hear the sounds of hawkers endlessly. People of all shapes and sizes appeared before Moss’s eyes.

His appearance also attracted many people’s attention. Some even started pointing and whispering.

“That kid is so young. I wouldn’t believe it if he told me he was eighteen.”

“Who cares whether or not you believe him? Besides, you still don’t know that age is just a number after all these years.”

“The kid must not be a simpleton if someone vouched for him to come here. Otherwise, why would someone with proper qualifications vouch for a kid?”

…

A bald man behind the group heard his subordinates discussing. He said smilingly, “Keep a close eye on that kid. If he’s capable enough, we’ll take him down. If not, we can persuade him to join us and make him lead.”

“You’re right, Big Brother.”

“You’re brilliant, Big Brother!”

The crowd praised the baldy and looked at him admiringly.

However, some began to worry about the handsome young man, and their expression was full of regret.

“Why did this handsome young man have to come here and throw his life away when he could’ve done anything else?”

“That newborn calf isn’t afraid of tigers.”

“Why would his parents allow him to come here?”

…

Moss was delicate and looked a year or two younger than his peers. Therefore, many thought he was still a child when they first saw him, while some started betting.

“How about we make a bet? I don’t think he’ll complete even his first task.”

“I don’t think he’ll complete his rookie task either.”

“I bet on that too!”

“I’m in!”

“I don’t think he’ll complete even his first task.”

…

Moss was used to these things. He ignored the crowd and continued following the two girls forward.

“This way, please!” After a moment, the two girls pointed to a golden attic with a “mission desk” sign.

“There are so many people here!” Moss could not help but sigh when he saw the dark crowd before him.

People were accepting missions and handing them in. Many also wanted to form teams and exchange resources.

Moss was checking the surrounding situation when the two girls chatted with a burly man with a full beard. Then they went to Moss and handed him a card-shaped item.

“Here, this is your membership card. Please keep it safe since it’s your proof of entry and exit to Buried City. It’s also proof for you to accept missions, check your progress, and accumulate points.”

“Okay.” Moss nodded smilingly. “So, what can I do next?”

“You can do a beginner mission!” The two girls said in unison. Simultaneously, they pointed to a massive black stone tablet behind them. “You can retrieve your mission after you get your membership card there.”

“Can I receive other missions besides beginner ones?” Moss asked curiously, his eyes shining.

The two girls were stunned when they heard that. They looked at Moss in puzzlement. “Everyone must complete their beginner missions when they enter Buried City. It doesn’t matter what level they are.

“Only then can they qualify to receive other missions. There are ten levels of missions. Only when the points reach a certain level can one receive them. You should obediently complete your beginner mission first.”

…

The two girls spoke one after another without any intention of stopping.

“Ladies!” Moss waved his hand. “I know about the beginner missions. Can you lead me to the dungeon so a newbie like me won’t get lost?”

He did not mean to be arrogant and only wanted to know about the missions most beneficial to improving his mount. However, he did not continue asking, seeing that the two girls seemed to have misunderstood him.

“There are five regions to the dungeon. One is the City Lord region, which you cannot casually enter. Besides that, you can freely enter and exit the other four.”

…

The two girls were interested in that topic as they babbled on until Moss grew numb to their voices. However, he was too embarrassed to interrupt when he noticed how warm-hearted they were.

The two girls finally stopped after twenty minutes, especially since Moss did not ask them any more questions.

“Name Stolen, we will take our leave since you understand our explanation. If you have any other questions, you can ask us or any staff member dressed like us.”

The two girls blinked their big bright eyes as they looked at Moss. They smiled as they spoke. After that, they waved their hands at Moss and turned to leave.

After turning, the two girls muttered softly, “Sister, we didn’t say too much and managed to control ourselves well this time. It went pretty well. Did you notice how well that kid listened to us just now? He didn’t seem impatient at all.”

…

Even though the two girls tried to be discreet, Moss still heard them. He was speechless as he helplessly shook his head and smiled bitterly. He muttered, “Those two are actual chatterboxes.”

The two girls could have summed up their explanation instead of rambling.

There were five regions in Buried City. Besides the City Lord region, which he could not easily enter, the other four consisted of wind, forest, fire, and mountain.

These four regions had different mission levels that members could freely choose according to their points. Points were the most helpful thing in the dungeon as they showed a member’s level, and one could use them as currency. One could exchange their points for anything as long as they had enough.

‘I’d better hurry up and complete the beginner mission!’ Moss held his membership card and approached the enormous black stone tablet in front of him.

When he arrived in front of the stone tablet, Moss gently scanned his membership card. Three mission options appeared on the membership card.

After carefully reading them, his pupils dilated, and he could not help but feel shocked. He muttered, “Indeed, this beginner mission is extraordinary.”
