Life Mission Chapter 78:
Life Mission
Volume 3 Chapter 78
-[Ha ha! Today, I completed the 4th stage of body modifications and purchased the level D set!]
For the first time in a while, the PDA was full of buzz . The party members have gathered to discuss . They had developed just as Cha Jun Sung had .
Park Jin Hyuk does not have a cyborg . He invested his points in body modification and D class items . No matter how he looks at it, C class items are a long-distance haul .
There is a limit to trying to withstand it with E class . It becomes destroyed just by touching a level 3 mutant .
If he skimps on points, he will die . He used 500,000 points to get metal armor and to enhance his existing equipment .
Currently, Park Jin Hyuk is going in and out of 5000 point missions as if he were at home . Enhancing his physical ability by 16 times made him a superhuman .
He is superior to Cha Jun Sung in terms of physical ability and gear .
-[How far did you extend the lifespan?]
-[By 18 years . The fire will burn if we keep going like this . It’s already been extended by 26 years . ]
From the 3rd stage of body modifications, it is more than a mere force of strength . It is optimal when the lifespan is extended and the appearance is the most voracious .
Cha Jun Sung does not see a big change because he is 31 years old, but Park Jin Hyuk is different .
He quickly changed to the appearance of someone in his mid 20s while going through the 3rd stage of body modifications . He grew almost 10cm and along with that, his weight and body grew as well .
When Lifers open the level C store and go through body modification, there will be as much buzz as there was when the reality version first started .
An old man waiting to die could go back to being in his 20s .
It is different from catching a disease . Even if they can treat a disease with medicine from the store, they cannot find their youth again . It is not a value that can be compared .
This is the true devil’s temptation . There is the condition that they must open level C, but it is worth risking their lives . If they succeed, they will live a new life .
The helpers say that it is different by stage, but the 3rd and 4th stages increase the lifespan by 10 to 20 years . Cha Jun Sung also went 9 years .
-[I grew a little taller too . ]
-[… . . That’s similar to me . ]
Cha Jun Sung felt sad . His small and cute friend had become big and gross .
As the Life Mission ranking went up, surreal events happened as if they were nothing . What would they be surprised with beyond level B?
-[We didn’t have anything to get in level D, so we each saved up more than 1 million . ]
Koharu and Kyoko stay in level D . Since they cannot go through body modification, they just purchased gear, saved points, and went over 1 million .
-[Leave it for level C . As soon as we go up, there will be a drought of points . ]
They will get stuck at the normal points if they do not have achievement points, but it is better than not having them . It is wise to save them up as much as they can .
Koharu bought twin daggers with vibration, and Kyoko bought intermediate trauma medical devices . They also had metal armor as their basic protection .
-[Good . ]
Cha Jun Sung was certain that the party members were ready . At this rate, the 5 of them including Hercules could take on 10,000 point missions .
-[Let’s go to a sample takeover . ]
-[Yes!]
Park Jin Hyuk yelled into the PDA . The time had come to proceed with the sample takeover in the Biology Institute, which they had been pushing off because Cha Jun Sung was so busy .
-[Is the sample takeover you’re talking about the 12,000 point mission you did with Hocheon?]
Koharu learned about a lot while being in a party with Park Jin Hyuk . Of that, she knew that there was a sample takeover as a linked mission in the Biology Institute .
-[There is a high possibility that mission will be over in one shot like Slayer’s Prison . It’ll be dangerous, but it is perfect to test the party’s power . ]
-[With our current state, we would be able to take on 2 level 4 mutants, so we can do a sample takeover . ]
Cha Jun Sung agreed with that . Judging by the points, he could expect 2 weak ones or 1 strong one . If the proceedings are simple, it will be the latter .
-[There’s no reason something like the Destroyer will come out, so if we just stay vigilant we should be fine!]
Even if a mutant at that level appears, they could take it with a concentrated attack .
-[Did you figure out what it is inside?]
-[I have guesses, but I can’t point out exactly what it is . ]
-[Which one is the most likely?]
-[Saman Viper . ]
-[A snake? Ack!]
It is not a desirable animal . It is bad to have prejudices against animals, but most people do not like snakes . Cha Jun Sung’s group is the same .
As soon as Park Jin Hyuk showed revulsion, Koharu and Kyoko also expressed their disgust . They do not like normal snakes, but it is a snake that has changed into a mutant . They cannot know until they have seen it .
-[When do we go?]
-[When do you think will be good?]
-[Since we’re on the topic, should we go in tomorrow? No one has gear to get or anything . ]
They have been ready . They just need to fill up their necessities and go up against them .
-[I don’t care . ]
The sisters are also in agreement . If they want to strategize, they can do it after entering the mission as well .
He said that an iron door was blocking the way and the mutant was trapped inside . If they start to hesitate, there will be no end . They need to push forward .
-[We’re going tomorrow at noon! Sleep well and let’s meet refreshed . ]
Resting is as important as battling . They need to soothe their minds and bodies for tomorrow .
Chun Myung Ik and the guild members ran without looking back . After completing the Biology Institute, they thought about it for a few months and attempted the sample takeover after finishing all preparations .
Seven Stars is playing in the mid to high 10,000 area . Other large guilds passed the early 10,000 missions a while ago . Hocheon is in the lower ranks of the large guilds .
As late as they are to entering level D, it is not easy to catch up . They normally would have gone up from 10,000, but they skipped 2000 because they were feeling so rushed .
That was a big mistake . Of 100 guild members, around 70 died . There are 12 members following him . The other 17? They are missing .
They had become like this within days of opening the iron door and entering . This is all because of that level 4 mutant .
-[We’ll go back to the original summons area and quit the mission!]
-[What about the rest of the guild members?]
-[You’re saying you want to stay here?]
Oh Min Ho wiped his forehead with the back of his hand at Chun Myung Ik’s words . He is sweating profusely . He did not think it through . If they stay, they will die . They need to survive in order to plan for the future .
The summons area is getting closer . If they pull down the lever once they get there, the door will close . Then they can return . They cannot quit right now because they are being chased .
Kyak!
-[Block it so we can close the door!]
None of the guild members listened to the order . Block it? This is the same as saying, ‘You need to die for me to live . So go die . ’
Kyak!
That mutant senses people’s temperature, so there is no point in using the odorless spray .
It can find them even if they hide . They will be caught in this state where they are sweating and their body temperatures have gone up . They need to go somewhere where it cannot enter .
Chun Myung Ik exchanged looks with the guild cadres . They need to buy time .
Tatang!
A few cadres shot the general guild members that were following behind them . They did not kill, but injured them . As they would not block the mutant, they are being forced to stay behind .
Ack!
Flesh and bones are being chewed . The sound itself is torture enough to drive them crazy . Chun Myung Ik ran to the door with the sole thought of living and pulled the lever down .
Bang!
Bang bang!
The mutant is banging on the door . It is angry that it lost them and will not stop .
“We are quitting . ”
“Quit!”
Chun Myung Ik and his cadres rushed to quit, but it did not go as they planned .
-[The angry Black Horn is looking for a different way to get past the door . You cannot quit the mission until it stops trying . ]
It is despair .
