Chapter 94: Mission 6

When Alan woke up in the morning, he felt as if he had been beaten up by someone the night before. His muscles were sore all over.

In a daze, he felt that the system in his mind had placed a large exclamation mark at the most conspicuous position!

Alan, who had woken up in an instant, finally remembered that his mission had been completed last night.

The sudden attack from the Abyss had disrupted his rhythm, and he almost forgot the most important thing.

Alan opened the system and opened the mission page.

[ Mission 5 has been completed, the first phase of the mission, let Rock City become the city that never sleeps. ]

[ Reward: Mixed-type blueprint small gift bag * 1]

[ Unlocked all-system magical wheat purchasing authority in the mall, new plant purchasing authority. ]

[ Acquired the VIP privileges of the mall, 10% discount on purchases. ]

[ Congratulations, you have obtained the new title, ‘Pioneer of the Industrial Revolution’. Beginner. Wearing this title will allow you to obtain the corresponding knowledge while researching the blueprints. ]

After opening the blueprint gift pack, Alan obtained the Arcade Blueprint * 1, the improved version of the Fog Cannon Car Blueprint * 1, and the magic version of the Air Purifier Blueprint * 1.

He immediately wore the new title. There was a total of five empty slots in the title pane on his personal attribute pane. Including the current one, he had only worn two titles.

The benefits of the title were realized when he wore the first ‘Novice Winemaker’ title. Now that the title level was at the beginner level, the functions were already quite powerful. If it was upgraded to a higher level, it would be even more powerful. Alan was quite looking forward to this.

The new functions also appeared in the mall. Immediately after, he went to the mall to check. Under the category of plants, in addition to the sub-category of raw materials and crops, there was an additional sub-category of tree species.

Under the raw materials, there were more and more magic wheat. After the previously unlocked strength wheat, there were indeed more wheat, including speed wheat, agility wheat, perceptive wheat, physique wheat, charm wheat, and all the six abilities of the human body.

Just as he had thought, the magic wine was an entire series. After the physical series was released, the next one should be the magic element. After all, the first magic grape that he had obtained had not been updated for a long time.

Then, he looked at the other sub-catalog on the side. The first time he unlocked the tree species, it were plants with the same function. This was also very rare.

This type of tree, whether it was a tree or a shrub, only needed to soak in a nutrient solution filled with magic for an hour. Then, it could grow in any environment. The growth cycle was proportional to the amount of magic power injected later and the quality of the plant.

It was a plant that was easy to grow.

Alan was a little puzzled. Why was the first type of plant unlocked with this function? Could it be useful in the future?

The reward that made Alan the happiest was the 10% discount in the mall. After working hard for so long, he finally had the system’s first VIP card. Every time he paid the system gold coins, he felt his heart bleed.

After studying the harvest this time, he checked on the new mission.

This time, the mission had a new twist. The system had given him two missions at once, which had never been done before.

[ Quest 6: use the existing methods to completely solve the gray fog crisis. ]

[ Time-limited quest: create the arcade within ten days and put it into use in the tavern. The reward for this quest is to renovate the tavern once. Will you accept it? ]

There was a countdown behind the time-limited quest. Ten seconds later, the quest could no longer be accepted.

Seeing the renovation reward, Alan did not think much about accepting it directly. After all, decoration rewards were very rare.

After Alan accepted the time-limited quest, the countdown became ten days. Seeing the timing panel, he felt a little more urgent.

After Alan finished studying the system, it was already noon when he walked out of the room. Alan hurriedly got up to clean up. Then, he should be ready to open for business. He also needed to deal with the square and the clock tower.

When Alan went downstairs, he saw Beelzebub sitting on a chair in a daze with a look of despair on his face. He looked haggard, making Alan thought that he had suffered some insufferable abuse last night.

Yupanki was doing his usual work, preparing to open the shop.

Usually, before the shop opened, Ai Xiaohei would bask in the sun in the backyard. Even if there was no sun now, she liked to lie outside for half a day before returning to the shop.

The three new demon lords were each more unique than the last. Alan still did not know what kind of chemical reaction would happen when the tavern joined them.

Just before the tavern opened, Abraham and Wayne came first. Not long after, Kramer and Severino arrived with Dorje.

“What’s going on today? Why is everyone here?” Alan asked in surprise. He didn’t expect everyone to come so early.

Sofia had been seriously injured yesterday. Even with Lafite, the elves had their own healing methods. It would take them a few days to recover.

“The gray fog is getting thicker and lower today. Alan, do you see it?” Kramer said with a frown.

The problem of the gray fog was getting more and more serious today. That was why the two of them had brought Dorje and hurried over from the governor’s mansion.

After the three of them left the tavern the night before, they had been staying in the governor’s mansion to deal with the matter of the neighboring city.

“I couldn’t see anyone clearly standing on the street today.” Severino continued.

It was already noon when Alan woke up this morning. He hadn’t been able to go outside. So naturally, he wasn’t aware of the situation.

As they gathered to discuss the problem of the gray fog, Beelzebub sat by the back door. It was unknown whether he was cursing Samael, who was still sleeping in his room, or Asmodeus.

Alan had not given the three demon lords any wine yet. Last night, he had been seriously injured by Wayne, so he need to sleep to recover from his injuries. However, Beelzebub probably did not want to sleep in the same room with the two of them because of the stench of his feet and the smell of alcohol. He did not want to make do with sleeping in the same room as the two of them.

“Let Abraham explain in detail. Last time, he also did not know much about the gray fog.”

After Wayne said that, he glanced at Abraham, who was wearing a hood next to him.

“This gray fog has been a big problem that has plagued the Abyss for a long time. The gray fog has no effect on people who have no magic power at all. It has the greatest effect on those who are weaker. In other hand, it had smaller effect on those who are stronger.”

As Abraham said this, he paused.

“The effect of the gray fog on people is to make them irritable. Because of its light-blocking property, it has a fatal effect on plants. Without light, plants cannot grow. The Abyss has been in a dark and cold state for a long time.”

“Food is very scarce. Only in places where the gray fog is relatively thin and there is weak sunlight, can the land there grow food.”

“Hunger can make people go crazy, not to mention the demons under the influence of the gray fog. Invading the human world is not our original intention…”

Following Abraham’s narration, everyone somewhat understood why the Abyss wanted to invade the human world countless times. It was because the living environment was too harsh.

After listening to his narration, Alan knew that this gray fog was the smog of his previous life!

It turned out that the Abyss had always been troubled by environmental problems. If one were to put themselves in another’s shoes, living in such a harsh environment for tens of thousands of years would be difficult for any living being to survive.

Immediately after, Alan immediately thought of ways to fight against the smog in his previous life. Fog cannon cars, purifiers, sand resistance, many trees.

On second thought, wasn’t this the reward he had just received this morning?

He had said that the reward given by the system this time was a little out of place. It was strange, and there was also mission 6, which was waiting for him.

After knowing that there was a solution, Alan instantly calmed down. He asked Bart and the shaman to come to the tavern to solve the problem.

“Everyone, I think I have a solution, but I need the help of the dwarves and goblins. Perhaps I also need the help of the elves.”

Alan’s words made everyone’s eyes fall on him, and their expressions were full of shock.

“I might be able to solve the problem of the Abyss, but it will take some time.”

What followed was like throwing a bomb into the deep water. Abraham stared at Alan, his face full of disbelief.

Seeing Alan nod affirmatively, Abraham took off his hood and thanked Alan solemnly.

He believed that Alan was helping the Abyss because of him.

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they finally came back to their senses.

“Since Little Alan has a solution, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and find Bart and Shaman. As for the elves, let Little Alan do it himself.”

Kramer’s last sentence made Alan feel that his tone was strange.
