CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 102: JOINT MISSION (PART 3)

A mission so enticing, Fang Yu wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity for further promotion in the Ocean Court.

Well... Don’t contact Ji Clan Trading Association yet, I’m afraid of misunderstandings with the Ocean Court.

"Mr. Hu, do you have any new tasks for me? This mission is just too tempting..."

Fang Yu tugged at Wang Xiaohu, whispering.

"A new task?" Wang Xiaohu was taken aback, then shook his head with a bitter smile: "Bro, there are F-level tasks every day, but to be honest, these ordinary F-level tasks aren’t high in cost-effectiveness. Why not wait until there’s a special assignment, and I’ll call you?"

Upon hearing Wang Xiaohu’s words, Fang Yu froze, then glanced at the scrolling task rewards on the screen above.

F-level ordinary task: Reward 1 point, overachievement grants 1 extra point.

Fang Yu: ...

Indeed, he had forgotten about this.

The task Wang Xiaohu had assigned him previously was a networking-type special task, meaning it wouldn’t appear on the office screen. Wang Xiaohu needed to find someone to complete it himself as it wasn’t public.

Such special tasks have very generous rewards.

points, plus the reward promised separately by Lin Kemian.

As for ordinary F-level tasks outside of special assignments?

These tasks are routine and have very ordinary rewards, even if exceeded, only granting 2 points.

Compared to special tasks, they’re incredibly weak.

Though part of F-level tasks, special and ordinary are completely different concepts.

Realizing this, Fang Yu sighed inwardly.

What’s the situation? Could it be that I can only return to Ji Clan Trading Association and continue to grind their influence level, waiting for a special task from Wang Xiaohu?

Hmm? Wait!

Thinking this, Fang Yu seemed to have a sudden idea, his eyes lighting up, and promptly pulled Wang Xiaohu into the previous archive room.

Private chat!

"Bro, what’s up?"

Wang Xiaohu looked bewildered, unclear about what Fang Yu was planning.

At this moment, Fang Yu took out a small chip from his breast pocket, placing it in Wang Xiaohu’s hand, and smiled slyly: "Mr. Hu, first check the footage recorded on this chip, then we can figure out whether we can turn this matter into a special task for me."

Wang Xiaohu was utterly puzzled by Fang Yu’s words.

What’s all this about?

Turn this matter into a special task for you?

Alright, alright...

No special task available, you’re going to artificially create one, right?

I, Wang Xiaohu, am willing to call you the task genius.

However, seeing Fang Yu acting so mysterious and confident, Wang Xiaohu felt a bit clueless but earnestly read the footage off the chip using an Alchemy technology card reader.

Soon, a scene appeared before Wang Xiaohu.

It was exactly what Fang Yu had previously captured at sea... Lighthouse Association and four players shipping firearm cargo towards the West Qinghai Sea Region.

At that time, this scene was recorded by Luo Kuan using an Alchemy义眼.

Just after docking at Qiyun Port, Fang Yu handed Luo Kuan thousands of Copper Coins to have him buy a machine to export this footage.

Now, seeing the footage in Fang Yu’s hands, Wang Xiaohu was shocked, face becoming serious.

You don’t say...

Don’t actually say...

Fang Yu spoke about turning this scene into a special task.

Initially, Wang Xiaohu didn’t take Fang Yu’s words seriously, thinking he was just trying to be cheeky.

But after seeing this footage, Wang Xiaohu suddenly realized what Fang Yu filmed really represented.

The Ocean Court has been investigating the collusions between Lighthouse Association and warlords, moving large amounts of weapons to them.

Wang Xiaohu himself is one of the members of this project team.

Seeing this footage now, how could Wang Xiaohu not understand what it implies for the matters the Ocean Court is investigating?

What does it mean?!

In some sense, this serves as evidence, a breakthrough point, an opportunity for progress that has troubled the team leader for quite some time.

Reflecting on this, Wang Xiaohu raised his head to look at Fang Yu, opening his mouth: "You want to use this matter to secure a special task?"

"Yes!" Fang Yu nodded.

"Bro, here’s the thing..."

Wang Xiaohu considered carefully, then spoke in a low voice: "This matter, with the onset of war, no longer solely concerns the Ocean Court; it involves two other forces."

Fang Yu froze: "Lighthouse Association? Warlords?"

"No!" Wang Xiaohu laughed helplessly: "It’s related to them, but I’m talking about the factions investigating this matter."

"I don’t understand..." Fang Yu was puzzled.

"This matter, besides the Ocean Court, also involves the military! Duorong Federation’s military!"

"The warlords’ faction incites the Alien Race to launch a war, this matter has already linked to Duorong Federation, and they’re definitely investigating it."

"As for another force..." Wang Xiaohu gave Fang Yu a deep look, whispering: "After this incident, wouldn’t Ji Clan Trading Association need a self-examination? I know there are internal factions within Ji Clan Trading Association."

"Bro..." Wang Xiaohu patted Fang Yu’s shoulder, speaking in a deep whisper: "This task of yours, if successful, might become a multi-faction cooperative joint task..."

Upon hearing Wang Xiaohu’s words, Fang Yu was pleasantly surprised, but the excitement quickly crept into his heart.

Joint task?

As the name suggests, it’s like Fang Yu only needing to accept one task, but simultaneously obtaining rewards in faction points from three parties.

Moreover, the total rewards, experience, and monetary bonuses are 2-3 times those of regular tasks!

The composition of forces within the safe zone is actually simple.

It’s formed by several Sea Countries, creating a large, human-inhabitable safe zone.

And the Ocean Court is similar to an international organization like the UN on Blue Star, established by multiple Sea Countries, dispatching part of their military and enforcement power to form a special force.

But compared to Blue Star’s UN, the Ocean Court’s authority and power are greater, serving as the builders and creators of order in the safe zone, including a portion of the protector’s duties.

Responsible for stability and balance of order.

Under normal circumstances, disturbances from pirates, evil organizations, marine independent warlords, and even Hunters, Extraordinary beings, etc., are managed by the Ocean Court.

But in special situations, the Ocean Court will apply for nearby Sea Countries to intervene and jointly manage.

Such as situations where forces outside the safe zone team up with forces inside the zone to incite unrest.

In such complex circumstances, with only the Ocean Court involved, handling matters reasonably and accurately is impossible, requiring local Sea Country intervention to ensure results meet everyone’s expectations.

And this time... overseas independent warlords teamed with Duorong Federation to incite war in the West Qinghai Sea Region.

Clearly... this is a typical joint enforcement case...
