Chapter 355 - System Mission Awards
Rhode and Gillian would discuss again whether Anne would be willing to take up this suggestion. After everything, Rhode returned to his room and laid down on the bed. He closed his eyes and the system panel appeared before him.
[Mercenary group construction system mission ‘Honorable Peak’ completed. Completion Status: 75% of all missions. Accept rewards?]
Only 75% completed…
Rhode frowned when he noticed his completion status. Well, at least he hit the passing mark of the mission. But this meant that Rhode wouldn’t be eligible for the hidden reward, and he very well knew the reason behind this. To ensure his victory in the individual matchup, he gave up the group matches which caused a drop in his overall completion status. However, Rhode deemed that no matter what, it was better to complete one than to attempt both and fail miserably at them.
Frankly, the idea of not fully completing the mission left much to be desired. However, it wasn’t easy to complete the mission fully knowing that his strength was limited.
“Accept.”
Rhode restrained the ‘player completionist’ side of him and nodded in response. The entire mission interface immediately transformed into golden rays of light and lines of information quickly appeared before him like a waterfall.
[Mission “Honorable Peak” Status: Completed (75%)]
Difficulty: S
“…”
Rhode shook his head and let out a long sigh. Things didn’t always go as expected.
In all honesty, it wasn’t such a bad result. It could even be considered as excellent. As explained earlier, the Sphere of Mystery was exceptionally troublesome to enhance because it was an ancient relic. The result of the Random Enhancement Reward would prevent Rhode from emptying his coffers to upgrade Mirage which probably could be a blessing in disguise.
However, as Rhode saw it, it was quite a waste for the Random Enhancement Reward to apply on Mirage. If his Sphere of Mystery carried a powerful defensive measure like ‘Holy Wall,’ or strong offensive capability such as ‘Legion of Punishment,’ then perhaps this result wouldn’t be wasted. But the problem was that Rhode’s Sphere of Mystery was Mirage — a training center — and even if it were enhanced by five levels to its MAX points, what other purposes would there be other than for training?
Anyway no matter what, at least it’s useful for training.
Rhode consoled himself and extended his arm to retrieve the reward.
[Received Random Enhancement Reward +2, Sphere of Mystery leveled up to 3. Activated functions — <<Hidden Space>> <<Harvest Field>> <<Phantom Guardian>>]
<<Hidden Space>> — Create a semi-plane of existence that can project the training grounds into the world.
<<Harvest Field>> — Individuals training within the training field would benefit from an increase in training efficiency by three times.
“Not too shabby.”
Rhode nodded in satisfaction, especially taking note of <<Harvest Field>> where individuals could benefit from three times increased training efficiency. With such a function, Rhode began to imagine himself reproducing a strong team that could rival player guilds.
Rhode smiled to himself while thinking of the prospects of <<Harvest Field>>. When he finally shifted his gaze towards the third function, he was slightly taken aback.
<<Phantom Guardian>> — Within the Stronghold’s range of control, the owner can utilize his or her memory to summon a doppelgänger of a person from the past to guard the Stronghold. The doppelgänger’s level would remain the same as the owner’s recollection of the original.
Rhode held his breath. The sentence ‘summon a doppelgänger of a person from the past’ took him by surprise.
Would this function grant him the ability to summon all the doppelgängers within the Mirage into this world? And those doppelgängers would retain their original levels?!
Rhode began to feel dizzy as an overwhelming tide of emotions filled his senses. He couldn’t help but read the description of the function once more in detail.
Rhode’s initial guesses of <<Phantom Guardian>> were mostly on point. While <<Phantom Guardian>> allowed the owner to summon a doppelgänger from the Mirage, there were certain limitations. At any point in time, he can only summon up to three doppelgängers, and if they leave the Stronghold’s range of control, they would immediately disappear. Furthermore, although the Sphere of Mystery could retain the doppelgänger’s level, it could not recreate their original equipment.
On the bright side, the doppelgängers could continue to exist as long as the Sphere of Mystery remained spinning. And lastly, the doppelgängers would also preserve their personal characteristics and share the memories of the owner.
This function…! This function is really…!!
After receiving the detailed breakdown of the function, Rhode’s finger began to tremble with excitement. However, he immediately shut his eyes and took in a deep, long breath to calm himself down. Rhode had never thought that the Sphere of Mystery was capable of such feats — this was very much to his delightful surprise!
Alas, it was a pity that the doppelgängers could only stay within the Stronghold’s range of control which instantly dashed Rhode’s hopes of reforming a player team to clear dungeons together again.
Even so, Rhode was looking forward to activating <<Phantom Guardian>>. If it weren’t because that he needed to stay here longer, he would immediately return to the Paphield Region right now. Thus, Rhode could only restrain his emotions and continue checking his other rewards.
