NOVEL NEXT Chapter 190: Can We Still Give Birth?_2
Is this an 'S-'?
Could it be that one only reaches 'S' or 'S+' without relying on any external aid to defeat three Imperial Mechas?
[Reward: 200 Value, 3000 Game Coin, three usage rights to {Changzhou} ({Changzhou}, originally National Guardian Divine Machine {Knight}, Beia Triss renamed)]
Experiencing the account that destroys mountains with a single hit at a speed of over 30,000 kilometers per hour, with three free uses, seems fair for an 'S-' rating.
But what about the Visualization? There's no Visualization!
[Side Mission: Princess Knight]
[Status: All Completed]
[Evaluation: S+]
[Comments: Don't just worship the sky, become the sky! Don't wait for spring, become the spring!]
[Reward: 200 Value, 2500 Game Coin, a full set of Mecha forging techniques (Cangqiong World)]
[Hint: The reward for the side mission is halved; the level of evaluation is based on the world's value]
Knowledge kept pouring into his mind, like the Identity Card, as though he had known it all along and had just suddenly remembered it.
However, a full set of Mecha forging skills—well—
Is this reward worthy of half an 'S+'? Maybe it is in Cangqiong World.
Even if it were worthy, what use would it be to him? Sell it to the Special Warfare Bureau? Or let Yafeiluna build a Mecha army to prepare for world conquest?
He had no interest in either, his dream was to be the owner of a bookstore on Yanhe Road.
"Qian Xia, what's your reward for the side mission?" Li Changzhou asked.
Both had the [Princess Knight] mission.
"Failed the 'Defeat the Myth,' got an 'S' for 'Princess Knight,' but the reward was halved, and they gave me a brand new red Chaser motorcycle," she replied.
"That's it?"
Just a single Mecha, and that's worth half an 'S'?
Is Cangqiong World that low-level?
"The motorcycle has a self-repair feature, infinite energy, and then there's 150 Value and 2000 Game Coin, nothing else," she said.
"Don't look like you got a bad deal," Yang Qinglan looked at the siblings.
"Hehe," Li Qianxia hugged her, "It's because you didn't care enough about Beia that you didn't trigger the mission, Qing Lan."
"What will you do next time if you fail?" he asked.
"If I fail, then so be it, there's no punishment for a side mission," she shrugged.
"Could you still think 'so be it' if Beia hadn't been saved?" Yang Qinglan asked her softly.
Li Qianxia's happy expression dimmed a bit, and she fell silent.
"Qian Xia," Yang Qinglan took her hand, "I'm not saying you did it wrong, I'm worried about you. Don't take on too much, you don't have a duty to be responsible for someone else's life and feel guilty."
"Mhm," Li Qianxia pursed her lips and nodded.
She knew Yang Qinglan meant well.
She wished she could be colder to others sometimes because the Twins and the Jade Leaf could share non-overlapping tasks, and she didn't want to drag her brother down.
He wouldn't care about others' lives or deaths, but whether his sister was happy surely mattered to him more than others' lives or deaths.
Didn't he suddenly talk so much to Beia Triss during the racing contest because she had triggered the [Princess Knight] mission, and he knew she was worried about Beia Triss?
"We'll worry about next time when it comes," Li Changzhou started, "Since we succeeded this time, let's just enjoy it."
"Yeah! We succeeded, so we should be happy!" Li Qianxia perked up.
Yang Qinglan sighed resignedly, knowing that this happiness would lead to taking risks again in the future, trying to help others.
She glared at Li Changzhou, taking note that he was not suitable for educating children.
Li Changzhou scratched the corner of his left eye with his right hand and continued to check the mission rewards.
[Side Mission: Speedster]
[Status: First Place]
[Evaluation: B]
[Comment: Why didn't you drive a Mecha yourself? Do you think sitting in the first place car and achieving first place is meaningful?]
[Reward: 20 Value, 250 Game Coin, the 890th edition No-rules Contest Champion Ring*1 (When driving a Cangqiong World Mecha, increase speed by 1%, not stackable)]
[Hint: The reward for the side mission is halved; the level of evaluation is based on the world's value]
Li Changzhou was about to speak when Yang Qinglan suddenly asked, "What's your Speedster reward?"
"It seems to be a ring," he replied.
"A ring?" Li Qianxia repeated quizzically, "Mine's a 'Champion Wedding Dress,' but there's no physical object, just as long as I wear a wedding dress similar to what Beia was wearing, it increases the speed of piloting a Cangqiong World Mecha by 1%. It's perfect since I have a 'Horned Robe'!"
"Isn't that a risqué wedding dress? With indecent thigh-high stockings," Li Changzhou couldn't help saying.
"What's indecent about thigh-high stockings? You're the indecent one, brother!"
Ignoring the indecent siblings, Yang Qinglan said:
"Mine is a skill, 'Companion in the Same Vehicle,' when riding a Cangqiong World Mecha, it increases the Mecha's speed by 1%. I'll swap out the 'Thorns' I've learned for it."
"Hi~, miss, want to get on my ride?" Li Qianxia wrapped her arms around Yang Qinglan's waist, "My brother is really handsome, want to go for a spin?"
"...When did you buy Jay Chou's album?" Li Changzhou asked.
"What does it matter, it wasn't with my own money. No need to check, I deleted the deduction record for you," she waved it off.
Watching Li Changzhou's speechless face, Yang Qinglan laughed and removed Li Qianxia's arm from her waist.
"Give the ring to Qian Xia, it suits her since she has a motorcycle now," she suggested.
In Cangqiong World, motorcycles count as Mechas.
"Here," Li Changzhou tossed her the ring.
"A brother giving his sister a ring, hmm," Li Qianxia caught the ring and smirked, "Which finger means 'no time for love'? The right little finger? Hmm—doesn't look good, I'll go with the ring finger instead."
