Chapter 246: Terrifying Reef

Witnessing the two of them sharing their mission, Mogensha’s eyeballs almost protruded out. Never forget, this pitiful man didn’t accept the ‘Eradicating the Spore Colonies’ mission. While Reef was going through the mission details, Mogensha attempted to get Sheyan to share that side mission with himself. However, this was the merciless transmission he got from the nightmare imprint:

“You’ve already rejected this mission, unable to accept contestant no.1018 shared mission.”

Faced with the cruel reality, Mogensha hugged his golden AK as he dwelled in his self pity. Actually, as long as there was enough manpower and time, there were loads of side missions to be exploited around the vicinity. The destruction of Whiskey base would no doubt attract the movements of other human bases; most likely that would release missions to eliminate the arachnid tribes here. Or perhaps even a new mission depicting construction of a new Whiskey base…… but based on the principle of not wanting to bite off more than they could chew, Sheyan decisively gave up on those tiny skirmishes. At present, they had left the Blackthorn tribe for nearly 4 hours, his heart contained a slight worry that the Redliner tribe had engaged in battle with the Blackthorns. Hence, he spared no haste in rushing back.

During their flight, Sheyan pondered for awhile before tactfully expressing interest in Reef’s attributes; this would facilitate his future planning. After experiencing a costly betrayal, he no longer longed for any authority; he had turned terribly discouraged during his stint as a party leader, thus he no longer cared for such things. Reef bluntly shared all his information to Sheyan.

*****************

Observing Reef’s individual attributes, Sheyan’s lament over the importance of a party heavily struck him again. Reef’s basic attributes added up to 122 points, even without equipments, it was 115 points. As for Sheyan, even with the temporary 10 points of physique bonus, with his equipments his basic attributes only reached 108 points! Moreover, Reef’s blocking, evading and resisting rate were at least 3 folds of Sheyan. This was the ultimate product of an assembled party, focusing their resources on a ultimate defence warrior; high HP, thick defence, and even possessing area controlling abilities!

Then Sheyan saw Reef’s innate ability, leaking out an astonished look….

“So you……….”

Mogensha interrupted as though accustomed to it.

“This is very normal alright? Within the context of a new party, disguising their figures is extremely normal. One only needs to proof that they are indeed an innate defensive type, fitting the criteria for a Main Tank (MT), that is enough.”

Sheyan smiled miserably.

“In terms of knowledge and experience, that is indeed my shortcoming.”

As the saying goes, one doesn’t fear ignorance, but fear comparisons. Comparing himself to Reef’s long list of attributes and abilities, Sheyan obviously felt rather un-pro. But Sheyan’s talents lay in his scheming and innate ability, he could often seized the golden opportunities to exhibit his maximum potential; this was the reason Reef could never outmatch him.

Currently, even though Reef was well and lived, he was still depressed and dispirited in his heart. Mogensha still did not really understand why Sheyan would choose to forsake the main mission to rescue Reef. An awkward silence presided within the peaceful cavity of the flying Overlord.
