Chapter 42.2 – Reader/Protagonist: I’ll accept this task.
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Translation and editing by readerz
In the “Mixed Blood” novel, a lower level person cannot see through a higher level person’s strength. Higher level people can hide the strength of lower level people. They can also suppress their own strength so that they seem lower level.
Humans tend to judge people’s strength through these warrior badges. The warrior badge is an important indication of rank, therefore people are normally eager to go to the various professional guilds to get their badge upgraded.
These were the perfect conditions that allowed the Moe Lord to play the pig to eat the tiger (pretend to be weak). After Xiu got the basic level badge, he never bothered to upgrade it, so in the novel, there was a “rich second generation”[1] officer in the Star Empire who looked at Xiu’s low level warrior badge and proposed a duel to the death. When the chapter ended, that **** was still desperately wondering how he could end the abuse that the “Grand Swordsman level” Moe Lord was dishing out.
The readers were lamenting: please allow us to make a sad expression, lol.
When Du Ze and Xiu showed Anne the warrior badge, the receptionist handled everything very quickly. She gave them the new mercenary cards.
“These are your mercenary cards, please accept them.” Anne pointed at the mercenary guild’s magical bulletin board that was constantly updated with new tasks. “That is the task board. You are now mercenary level E so you can only take on E-level or no level tasks.”
Du Ze glanced at the task board curiously. With just one look, he saw that at the top was a task for exploring the Gnome Ruins and the other tasks were all related to the Elven Forest. Then his eyes were caught by an unusual task – an “Anti-Demon Crusade” mission… demons?
Now the demons have appeared on the Chaos Continent?!
Du Ze remembered how he had activated the metal pyramid and his eyes subconsciously moved to Xiu, but he saw that Xiu was staring at something, unblinking. The beautiful face seemed like it was covered with a layer of frost, exuding an intense cold that could chill someone to the bone. Du Ze followed Xiu’s line of sight and read the task that he was staring at. Du Ze could only sigh: Plot god, you are so hardworking, is this the conscientiousness that your profession demands?
After Xiu emerged from the Door of Wisdom, he found that his rival’s mercenary squad had left a message for Xiu: Xiu, if you can see this message go to the Star Empire and find us.
At that time Xiu had awakened four of his bloodlines, so he turned back into his elf form and left the Gnome Ruins. Xiu went back to the mercenary guild and was given a task that was perfect because he wanted to go to the Star Empire. The task poked his G spot.
Just like now.
[Find Ice Crystal Grass: No Rank Requirement. Go to the land of extreme cold to find ice crystal grass, pay is negotiable. Client: Eddie. ]
The content of the task is not important, what is important is the client – Eddie. Rose, do you remember that year when you abandoned the Moe Lord?[2]
Remembering the past, Du Ze recalled how he had sprayed his computer screen with blood when he witnessed how the Moe Lord was abandoned by everyone, including his childhood sweetheart, Rose, and his childhood friend Eddie. The two of them and Xiu had grown up together in the same orphanage and had entered the Mage School together.
However, when Xiu was arrested by the Temple of Light and tortured, Eddie and Rose did not testify for their childhood friend. They were afraid of being implicated because they had grown up with Xiu in the same orphanage. Du Ze’s heart was broken when Rose made an appointment with the undead Xiu but, instead of a cute sister, a group of knights from the Temple of Light appeared.
**** you! If only you had supported Xiu spiritually, he wouldn’t have blackened! QAQ
When Anne saw Xiu staring at the bulletin board task “Find Ice Crystal Grass,” she very kindly advised him: “I recommend that you do not take this task. Although it doesn’t have a grade, the difficulty is at least A level. In fact, the task has been on the board for a long time. I know the one who put it up, he is also a mercenary. His companion was poisoned by the Black Fire Lizard so he needs to get the ice crystal grass to heal her.
Anne sighed: “They are very pitiful but the extremely cold environment is very difficult to explore. In addition, the ice crystal grass is guarded by a powerful monster. Only an A-class mercenary group can defeat it but he cannot afford to hire a class mercenary group.”
Like in the original plot of “Mixed Blood,” Rose was poisoned and Eddie was trying to recruit mercenaries to gather ice crystal grass. Du Ze looked at the silver-haired elf’s cold face. In order to get revenge on Eddie and Rose, Xiu will accept this task like in the novel.
Xiu noticed Du Ze watching him. He picked up his mercenary card from the counter.
Huh?
Du Ze couldn’t believe it: “You aren’t going to accept that task?’
Xiu gently stroked the back of Du ze’s neck with his hand. His face was still cold but when he looked at Du Ze, there was a hint of warmth in his green eyes.
“You want to go to the Star Empire.”
– Therefore that is unimportant.
Du Ze’s heart started pounding fiercely and he felt dizzy as though he was out of oxygen. His head went totally blank.
Moe Lord, you cannot act like this, if this goes on this young man won’t be able to hold on …[3]
Some silly, cute person put both hands on his headphones, covering his ears that were feeling hot. His eyes were darting back and forth. His voice sounded strange in his ears, as though someone else was speaking: “You, you don’t want to see them?”
The silver-haired elf was silent. Xiu looked like a volcano covered with ice, icy and oppressive. Seeing Xiu like that, Du Ze put his own mercenary card in front of Anne and said to her: “I’ll accept this task.”
Anne wanted to persuade him not to but she found out that she was totally incapable of entering their world. Those two people only had eyes for each other.
“You said,” facing the startled Xiu, Du Ze said earnestly, “that you would take me to see your ‘good friend’.”
In the Lost Land, there was a Lich who said to his only companion: “After I get out, I’ll take you to meet my good friend.”
– A very ‘good friend.’

Xiu’s eyes widened and he stared fixedly at the client’s name.
Eddie?
– Rose and I are innocent, we know nothing.
– We don’t have anything to do with him.
– We’re the ones who are the most frightened, okay?! To think that there was an undead beside us!
“… I’ll accept this task.”
The receptionist saw the task and wanted to advise Xiu against accepting it, but she saw that Xiu seemed frozen.
The receptionist was sure that he was like a devil who crawled out of the abyss to get his revenge.
