Chapter 225: One-Star Mission Begins
Night.
On a small island somewhere in the Douluo World 2.
At this moment, on this small island about five miles in radius, two tents stood quietly. Inside one of the brightly lit tents, Shen Fan was stroking a card made of an unknown material, deep in thought.
After a long while, he seemed to return to his senses and said in his heart:
"Diary system."
"The task on this one-star mission card is for us to go to the Douluo Continent and stop Tang San from winning the championship of the Elite Competition of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Continent."
"But if you want to participate in the elite competition, you must be a student of an Advanced Soul Master Academy. How do I do this?"
"You can't expect me to temporarily create or buy an academy, right?"
Upon hearing this, the diary system's voice immediately appeared in Shen Fan's mind.
"It's up to you."
"You can choose to join an existing academy from the original story. Don't worry about identity information—the task card will automatically handle it."
"Of course, you can't join Shrek Academy."
"If you don't want to join an existing academy, you can also establish your own. The task card will also automatically handle it."
After listening to the explanation, Shen Fan said without hesitation, "That's really convenient. Then I'll set up my own academy. I'll call it Longfan Academy."
Shen Fan directly borrowed the name from the Longfan team. Just as he was about to finalize the team list and start the mission, he suddenly noticed a faint question mark in the team member section on the task card. It was barely visible without close inspection.
"What's this?"
Shen Fan clicked on the question mark, and a stream of information flowed into his mind.
"Fuck."
"I can actually bring four additional substitutes?"
"Although I can only choose two of the four spots, the other two will be randomly assigned."
Shen Fan's eyes widened, but then he felt secretly relieved.
"Luckily, I was cautious and checked carefully, or I would have missed it."
"Even if these four substitutes don't play, just getting the participation award is worth it. It would be a waste otherwise."
"This is different from regular players who, although capable of winning big prizes, can only get a participation award if they don't perform."
[I'm so dumb sometimes. I can think through things and make plans in the diary to earn points too. How did I forget again?]
Shui Yue'er: "What's wrong?"
"What else are you thinking about?"
"I've seen you rub that task card for ages. Why don't you just open it?"
[Now that there are two more self-selected substitute spots, looks like Xiangxiang can play.]
Bai Chenxiang: "umm?"
[Let's choose Xiaotao as the second one.]
[After all, I've already tasted her fragrance. We're closer than the others. There's a saying: good things shouldn't be wasted on outsiders.]
Douluo 2 Ma Xiaotao: "..."
[Alright, alright.]
[In the end, I still couldn't escape the three Shrek beauties. The two random spots ended up going to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.]
Ning Rongrong: "Is there anyone more annoying?"
Zhu Zhuyun: "Congratulations, sister."
"You got a spot too."
Zhu Zhuqing: "Yeah, I'll get to fight Zhu Zhuqing in the mission world myself."
Shui Yue'er: "You're ruthless, fighting yourself."
"But honestly, I envy you. You get to travel to another world. Even if it's still Douluo One's era, it counts as travel."
Xiao Wu: "This mission world should develop according to the original Douluo Continent storyline. I want to see whether my Acacia Heartbroken Red really dropped by coincidence, or if it was Tang San's doing."
Douluo 3 and 4 Xiao Wu: "..."
[Forget it.]
[Could they be harder to deal with than Xiao Wu, the bunny spirit?]
Douluo 1: 0 Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
[Let's get started.]
[Start the mission.]
As Shen Fan officially made the decision, the one-star mission card in his hand instantly turned to ash and disappeared. Then, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded in his ears:
"Please choose a camp."
"Form an academy yourself, named Longfan Academy," Shen Fan answered.
"Camp selection: Self-built academy, named Longfan."
"Entered."
"..."
After a short pause, the mechanical voice sounded again:
"The five self-selected regular team members are Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Jiangzhu, Shui Bing'er, and Jiang Nannan."
"The two self-selected substitutes are Bai Chenxiang and Ma Xiaotao."
"Camp: Longfan Academy."
"Please confirm for the last time."
"After this confirmation, the mission will immediately launch, and no information can be modified."
Without hesitation, Shen Fan said, "Confirm."
The moment the words left his mouth, Shen Fan was surrounded by a burst of white light. When he could see again, he found himself in an uninhabited corner of a city, with fifteen beauties lying nearby—one mature, and young.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
"Why are they all unconscious?"
Shen Fan blinked, confused.
"They are receiving the information for this mission," the diary system explained.
"They'll wake up after receiving it."
"So that's it," Shen Fan nodded. Indeed, a moment ago, a message had been transmitted into his mind too. But whether it was because he was strong or specially taken care of, he hadn't fainted.
As the diary system explained, Bibi Dong, the strongest among them, groaned softly and fluttered her eyelids.
Seeing this, Shen Fan quickly imitated the others and lay down, pretending to be unconscious. However, a few seconds later, he realized Bibi Dong had come over and was staring directly at him.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Huh?"
"Wait."
"Why is she still dressed exactly the same as last time?"
"Didn't she return to the Spirit Hall?"
Confused, Shen Fan pretended to 'wake up' slowly.
"You're awake?" Bibi Dong looked down coldly.
"Are you the Lin Yu we met in Yelin City?"
"No."
"The fact that you're here means you're also one of the mission personnel. But according to the voice in my mind, there's no one among us named Lin Yu."
"Who are you?"
