Chapter 1950: Bounty on Me 🤑

“There's another type of mobilization task, which is a special mobilization order. For instance, the right you obtained for the clan to open the Hunting Planet is a kind of special mobilization order. However, since such events are rare, special mobilization orders, aside from a few fixed ones, are not often seen.”

Wu Qian watched as Ye Zhongming casually bought a box of exquisite food worth three hundred Moon Age Gold at a shop, and his eyelids twitched.

Three hundred Moon Age Gold, enough to buy a decent piece of equipment.

“The second type is public tasks.”

Wu Qian forced himself to forget about others' luxury and continued speaking.

“Public tasks are those that can be issued by any race or even individual. These tasks can be big or small, such as hunting together to seek companions, researching drugs or equipment production, investment tasks for setting up factories or cultivating farmlands, teaching tasks, trial tasks, finding tasks, and so on.”

Wu Qian listed numerous examples, hoping to make Ye Zhongming understand that public tasks encompass everything. As long as you have money, you can hire someone to do anything for you.

“Of course, there will also be some bloody tasks, like buying someone’s limb or even their family member’s life, etc., but these are not very common in public tasks. In a year, there are only a few because once a public task is issued, others will be on guard, and one's identity has a high chance of being exposed.”

The Seven Survivor Fortresses can be seen as seven candidate planets. In front of the enslaved races, the various races of the universe are like stray dogs, but concentrated in these seven fortresses, they cannot be compared to Earth in any aspect.

Area, population, land, resources, and so on.

With so many people and such a large area, all interconnected, it's no wonder that numerous tasks arise.

“The last type is entrusted and bounty tasks.”

When Wu Qian mentioned this, his expression became more animated since the Star-Eye Clan primarily undertakes this type.

“Entrusted tasks are a direct way for the entrusting party to seek help from the entrusted party. They straightforwardly present their requirements, determine the price afterward, and upon acceptance by the entrusted party, the task must be completed within a set time frame, with compensation provided based on completion.”

“Similar to hiring?” Ye Zhongming asked.

Wu Qian nodded. “Yes, it’s quite similar to hiring; the difference is that hiring is open, while this entrustment is covert.”

“The other type of bounty task does not have a clear entrusted party, but there are several potential candidates who can complete the task. In such cases, they issue a bounty task and let these candidates compete; whoever completes it first gets the reward.”

“The rewards for these tasks are generally higher than other methods, but they are also more dangerous. Several forces competing means that if you fail, you get nothing.”

“Bounty tasks are semi-public and require a fee to inquire.”

Ye Zhongming thought for a moment and raised his arm. “With terminals being so advanced now, why does each city still need to establish a dedicated location for accepting tasks?”

The place the two were heading to was similar to a task guild building.

“I think there are two reasons.” Wu Qian pondered for a moment before answering. “First is safety; these designated locations for publishing and accepting tasks have a high system security factor, making it difficult to make mistakes or be tampered with. After all, even for public tasks, there are people who do not wish to have their identities revealed.”

“The second reason is probably more cultural. Many races have their own task systems and have been accustomed to this way since the beginning. Even after becoming part of the All Races of the Universe, where technology has changed many things, they still retain many habits. This should be considered a kind of tradition.”
