'You do anything but your job.
The rcenaries and other employees present in the Hall thought at the sa ti as they stared at Arshia smiling like a fool as she glanced at Nux.
"Tsk, what does she even see in him?"
One of the rcenaries snorted.
"Stay silent, will you?" Another rcenary sitting next to him replied.
"Huh? What do you an?" the first rcenary frowned.
"Did you not realize it yet?"
"Realize what?"
"You hardheaded fool..." the second rcenary facepald.
"Are you looking for a fight?"
"Those four n still hadn't returned: Instead of fighting, the rcenary decided to explain. "So?"
"He went out alone, four people followed him, clearly, their intentions weren't good. However, the one who returned was him, and that too, without any injuries. Let alone injuries, he doesn't even look like he fought.
Not just that, did you forget how the one-eyed bastard reacted when he saw him return? I wouldn't be shocked if he had pissed in fear.
Those one-eyed bastards see what others aren't able to, he must have seen sothing for him to shake in terror like that,
Sothing... we shouldn't try and touch..."
The rcenary spoke with a grave look on his face.
It was just him, most rcenaries here could already tell that Nux wasn't normal. They were all battle-hardened beings who spent their entire lives on different battlefields. Obviously, their senses were far stronger than normal.
Therefore, no one wanted to get into a fight for no reason.
"So, can I get the Special Missions now?"
Nux questioned.
"Of course you can'
Arshia smiled brightly as she then picked a few papers and passed them to Nux.
"These are all the Special Missions available, you can choose any of them. However, unlike normal missions, I cannot allow you to pick more than one Special Mission, so select carefully, okay?" Arshia spoke. Nux, however, didn't reply, and a frown appeared on his face as he held the papers. Suddenly, he started reading the contents written on the paper, sothing he didn't need to do since he had already read all of that. He just wanted to make sure his ability was working fine.
However, the more he read, the deeper his frown got.
"These are... just normal missions?"
He spoke as he glanced at Arshia.
They were the sa.
Collect Monster parts, infiltrate, gather information, and other basic stuff, all of these were no different than the normal missions he completed before.
"Hmm? What do you an?"
Arshia tilted her head.
"Did you not see at the bottom? Look at the rewards. A normal mission of this level would only give you 300 Nexus Credits, but this one offers 1000 Credits.
This one is the sa, you would normally..."
Arshia started showing the difference in rewards.
"The Special Missions are just normal missions with higher rewards?"
"Well, not exactly.
Don't underestimate Special Missions; there is a reason the rewards are higher than normal. A normal mission becos a special mission when the attempt to clear it fails three tis or more. The death rates are also higher in Special Missions, and in most cases, the information provided in the mission description isn't accurate, so you might need to face a threat you are not prepared for. They are definitely not normal missions"
"Weren't Special Missions supposed to be sothing else? Enlisting in the ongoing war, for example?
Nux questioned.
From the mories he had read, missions related to war were called special missions.
Arshia, however, stared at Nux with a dumbfounded look on her face. Then, she chuckled, "Hahaha~ I sotis forget you are a new rcenary because of how you act."
"What do you an?"
"Well, those missions are only available for Star rcenaries"
Nux narrowed his eyes. This was the first ti he had heard of this term. None of the ones he killed knew about this, and soon, he learned the reason as Arshia suddenly waved her hand and a barrier rose around them.
"The missions you are talking about are the ones that are usually given by our VIP custors.
We can't possibly hand them over to normal rcenaries since our reputation is on the line here! "My friends didn't know of this!"
Nux replied.
"Well then, I am sorry to say, but your friend must not be a very excellent rcenary.
Why do you think I raised the barrier?"
Arshia questioned.
"It is to not let others hear what I am talking about? It is not like sothing would change even if they did know, we just avoid telling them that there are missions with better rewards than Special Missions since we cannot leave these missions to the incompetent ones.
The only reason I am telling you about this is because you seem like an exceptional rcenary. I
have never seen soone complete ten missions in a single day. Now, it doesn't matter how you did it, nor do I care about it.
What I do care about is that you seem resourceful, a trait found in a quality rcenary.
You can think of it as choosing you, separating you from the rest of the crowd.'
Arshia smiled.
"Does that an I can do those missions?"
Nux questioned.
Arshia, however, shook her head.
"That is not possible. I can make an exception with Special Missions since I have a bit of authority, but as I said, these missions are given by our VIP custors. Oftentis, these are the leaders of Middle Level Worlds, or even from the High Level Worlds. We cannot afford to disappoint them, since it would be a big loss if they go to soone else with their business.
Arshia explained.
"But since you are telling about all this..."
Nux spoke, and Arshia's smile widened,
"Yes, what you are thinking is correct.
I believe you have what it takes to beco our Star rcenary"
"How do I do that?"
"Well, that is easy enough. You just need your na to be known throughout Nexus. The fastest way
to do it is to complete more Special Missions!
"How many?"
"Hmm...
About a hundred?
Well, there are a lot of other factors, like how fast you completed it, the failure rate, and other stuff,
but you still need to complete at least a hundred Special Missions to beco a Star rcenary" "Alright, give a hundred Special Missions, then!"
