"Wait, Qi Yan, you're new. You don't know what an S-Class mission is! You also don't know how dangerous S-Class missions are, and we're not S-Class Mages, so we're not qualified to accept it! An S-Class Mage should take this mission."
Elfman quickly pulled Qi Yan aside and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, stopped him. He didn't want to lose another companion because of an S-Class mission.
"But we've already accepted the mission, and today is the third day. Are we just going to watch the client get killed?"
"This..."
He couldn't say that in front of the client, but it was true, as Qi Yan said, an S-Class mission itself represented extreme danger. One misjudgment could very likely cost them their lives. Even S-Class Mages wouldn't easily accept S-Class mission requests.
Moreover, time was completely insufficient. Even if an S-Class Mage accepted the mission now, it might already be over by the time he arrived here.
Qi Yan continued to manipulate Elfman: "Elfman, this is an S-Class mission. Don't you want to challenge yourself and try it out?"
Elfman was a little moved. Indeed, if he had to wait until he could do S-Class missions, it might be several years later, and before that, he would still have to pass the S-Class Mage examination.
"This is a rare opportunity. If we miss it, who knows when the next one will be."
"Don't you want to see the scenery on the second floor? If we complete this mission, the Guild Master will recognize our strength, and maybe we can go to the second floor early."
"And, aren't you a Man, Elfman? Are you going to watch the client get killed by a bad guy?"
Elfman's face turned red and his neck thickened, completely swayed by Qi Yan's words: "Man!!"
Hearing Elfman shout "Man," Qi Yan knew that the matter was settled.
"Mr. Mayor, we accept this mission."
"Thank you! Thank you very much!"
The Mayor was also a little excited. Ever since he received the threatening letter, he had been living in fear every day. Although he had the Ancient Knight Order of the Magic Council protecting him, he still felt unsafe, which was why he re-posted the request to the Mage Guild.
Unfortunately, it wasn't an S-Class Mage who came.
Qi Yan looked at the Mayor and said, "Mr. Mayor, since the other party plans to attack, we don't need to actively search for them. We'll just wait here, like 'waiting for a rabbit by a stump,' for them to come to us."
Elfman asked doubtfully, "But will they really come?"
The area was surrounded by members of the Ancient Knight Order, heavily guarded and layered with traps. The other party wouldn't be so foolish as to walk right into it, would they?
"They should! After all, they've already put out the word. If they don't come, they'll be ridiculed for the rest of their lives. Since they dared to threaten in advance instead of acting directly, it means they have ample confidence in their own strength."
"Mr. Mayor, during this time, you cannot leave our sight. If you do, I cannot guarantee your safety. I wouldn't want to eliminate all the enemies only to have no one pay the reward."
Qi Yan's tone was calm, but full of pressure, giving the Mayor, the client, a lot of stress.
"Alright... alright!"
"Very good! Elfman, you'll provide close protection for Mr. Mayor."
"What about you, Qi Yan?"
"Me? Of course, I'm responsible for eliminating all incoming enemies."
Qi Yan said with a smile.
"Wait! Qi Yan, the opponent is the famous King of Assassins!"
Elfman found it unbelievable that Qi Yan actually wanted to deal with the famous King of Assassins.
"So what."
Qi Yan's mere four words left Elfman speechless.
"Mr. Mayor, please prepare some food. After all, there might be a big battle coming up, and if we're not full, it'll be bad if we run out of energy at a crucial moment."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing Qi Yan so composed, the Mayor couldn't help but gain a good deal of confidence in him and immediately arranged for the kitchen to prepare food.
Soon, fragrant food was brought to the table. Qi Yan ate heartily, but Elfman had little appetite.
"Hmm? Elfman, you're such a big guy, why are you eating so little?"
"Qi Yan, that's an S-Class..."
Qi Yan laughed, "I know, and that's why it's even more exciting, isn't it?"
"..."
He finally saw it clearly. Although Qi Yan looked no different from an ordinary person, deep down, he was a complete lunatic.
After Qi Yan had eaten and drunk his fill, he sat on the sofa, looking at the panel in front of him.
[S-Class Mission: Eliminate the Phantom Bandit Gang. Mission Reward: One ten-pull gacha.]
The system panel had already updated the mission, which was the main reason Qi Yan wanted to do this mission.
Qi Yan lightly tapped his finger, selected everyone except Ulquiorra, and then chose to recycle them.
[Are you sure you want to recycle all selected characters?]
"Confirm!"
[Ding! Recycling successful! Host's magic power increased ☆!]
This was a built-in function of the system. Excess characters could be recycled, and the recycling reward was magic power, which meant that some of the trash characters he drew could be converted into magic power to strengthen himself.
"Half a star? System, you're too stingy, aren't you? I even have a blue elite here, which was the first character I drew, and it's very commemorative."
[Everything is calculated. If the host wants to increase more magic power, he can recycle characters of higher quality.]
"Forget it, who told me I'm such a generous person."
Recycling higher quality characters? What a joke, he only had Xiao Wu left. If he recycled him, who would he use?
Gold characters, a guaranteed gold character only after 100 pulls.
To put it simply, completing one S-Class mission would reward a 10-pull gacha. 100 pulls meant ten S-Class missions to guarantee one gold character.
It showed how precious gold characters were.
Of course, such gold characters were worthy of being so precious.
