Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

"Well, not bad." Fang Heng nodded and said, "The difficulty of the high-level game has increased, and I have encountered some challenges."

"Indeed, but greater difficulty corresponds to greater rewards."

Hector had important matters to attend to and didn't exchange many pleasantries with Fang Heng. He cut to the chase and said, "To make a long story short, our company team has just confirmed a relatively small cosmic crystal mine. The initial estimate is that the reserves are about 1-2 tons. We have already begun to control and excavate it. Are you interested in participating?"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Nearby? Are there high-level creatures around the ore?"

Hector nodded and said, "Yes, about five kilometers away. High-level creatures will spawn sporadically nearby, but the number is relatively small and not a problem. It's completely under control."

Forget it then.

Hearing this, Fang Heng lost interest.

A small number of monsters meant that it wasn't enough for him to level up by killing monsters.

Hector's team could handle it, so there was no need for him to waste time going there.

Not to mention that the reserves of the cosmic crystal mine were only 2 tons.

A little too little.

Fang Heng quickly thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "No, I'll look at something else."

The young man following behind Hector was a little surprised to hear this.

In fact, their intention to recruit Fang Heng to participate in the cosmic crystal mine's exploitation was more to build a closer relationship.

After the exploitation was completed, they would definitely share a portion with Fang Heng.

Giving up some benefits was for better cooperation in the future.

They didn't expect Fang Heng to refuse so easily, as if he didn't care at all.

"Okay, Fang Heng, we will borrow your world passage to transport materials later."

"Of course, I promised before, no problem at all."

Fang Heng said, pointing to the indicator screen in front, "By the way, do you know what the mutation crystal polymerization device above is?"

Hector also looked up and glanced at the points and material exchange list provided by the Federation above, and replied, "Well, it's used to manufacture mutation crystals."

"Mutation crystal? Used for upgrading?"

"Yes, used for upgrading after level 30."

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested, "Tell me more."

"Players need to use mutation crystals to upgrade after level 30. The drop rate of this crystal is very low, and it only has a drop rate on higher-level creatures, so upgrading becomes extremely difficult after entering level 30."

These things couldn't be considered secrets.

But players below level 30 had no way of knowing.

Hector continued to explain, "The Federation has researched and manufactured a special device through some means that can absorb energy when killing lower-level creatures. When the energy absorption accumulates to a certain level, it can be transformed into mutation crystals after being recycled and modified by the Federation."

There's even this kind of trick?

Fang Heng thought that the Federation still had some foundation.

They could actually obtain high-level crystals by killing a large number of low-level monsters.

It was a disguised way of weakening the game's difficulty.

"Using this method is a bit inefficient, and the Federation will also charge high handling fees. More importantly, in this way, ordinary players will be restrained by the Federation, but the players have no better way and can only help the Federation in desperation."

Speaking of this, Hector glanced at the players in the factory and smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, where do you think so many player companies and guilds are willing to work for the Federation?"

Fang Heng looked at the players around him and suddenly had an idea.

"Hector, help me out."

Hector's expression became serious.

Helping each other was a bridge to deepen the friendship between the two.

"Tell me, I'll try my best."

"I want to receive a special commission from the Federation, but the Federation doesn't open commissions to individuals, and my identity is not suitable, so I want to receive it in the name of your Sea Star Company. You don't have to worry about the follow-up of the commission, I'll handle it."

"You want to complete the commission alone?"

Hector looked a little surprised.

A large part of the LCD panel belonged to the Federation's special commissions.

Once the commission failed, the team's credit rating in the Federation would be reduced.

"Yes."

"Which task?"

Fang Heng pointed his finger, "Guard the outpost."

Hearing this, the young man following Hector's expression changed slightly.

Hector looked at him and asked, "How is it?"

The young man said in a deep voice, "This task is extremely difficult."

Hector introduced to Fang Heng, "This is Lu Yanlong, he was one of the first to enter this world to explore, and he knows the situation here very well."

Lu Yanlong stepped forward and said, "Boss Fang may not be very familiar with the situation since it's his first day here."

"Every night, the entire Federation camp area will be subjected to concentrated attacks by a large number of distorted creatures. In the first few days, the Federation troops were almost wiped out and forced to retreat."

"After that, the Federation chose to build eight outposts outside the base area in advance during the day as the first line of defense. Because of the lack of defensive manpower, the Federation packaged the task of guarding the outposts and repelling the distorted monsters and released it to player teams."

Lu Yanlong looked solemn and said, "The outposts were built in a hurry, and their defensive capabilities are extremely limited. Supplies and the like are completely unable to keep up. The Federation nominally says it will provide various support, but in reality, when a large number of distorted creatures swarm in, it is already very difficult for them to defend the base, and they have no time to send people to support the outposts that have been packaged out."

Hearing this, Fang Heng's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but interrupt, "Sorry to interrupt, but you just said that a large number of creatures will attack the outposts? What is the strength of the creatures?"

Lu Yanlong thought for a while and replied seriously, "They are mixed-type distorted creatures, with varying strengths. The highest strength has been elite-level creatures, but leader-level creatures have never been heard of."

"I understand, you continue."

"Okay, in the past few days, many player companies and teams have tried after the outpost mission was released, but without exception, they have all failed. The outposts have never really been defended. Fewer and fewer player teams are willing to accept the mission, so the Western District Federation is also very troubled, and the rewards given are increasing significantly day by day."

Lu Yanlong looked at Fang Heng and whispered, "Boss Fang, I don't recommend you accept this task. The Federation's purpose in releasing the task is to find cannon fodder to resist the first wave of attacks by distorted creatures, using our living forces to consume the monster groups and reduce the pressure on their camp defense."

Fang Heng naturally understood this principle.

But…

He was even more interested!

First of all, a large number of distorted creatures would attack the outposts tonight, mixed with high-strength creatures.

He could obtain mutation crystals from them.

Secondly, the exchange rewards given by the Western District Federation were very good.
