As Jin had no idea that this Synthesis World had something similar to an adventurer’s guild, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that the place they were going to submit their mission details was quite an eye opener.
As the name suggested, the centre dealt solely with missions and in lieu, the completion of missions. That means it was considered one of the major ‘attractions’ in every town since commanders depended on this Mission Command Centre for their livelihood. From little things to short term recruitment of adhoc jobs to the involvement of multiple commanders to clear an infestation near the town.
To top it off, other towns’ Mission Command Centres offer their requests as well in case the commanders decided to take a few jobs at a time. Naturally, being unable to complete a request would result in a demerit of points and a bad rep and that would cause a commander who had defaulted on those requests to be badly shunned upon. The previous Jin was one of such commanders but with the completion of this particular scouting mission, this new Jin would get to reap the rewards that the old Jin had placed for him,
While somewhat illegal, all those bets by various commanders had already been deposited into the Mission Command Centre’s incentive programme where a commander who deemed the mission too hard to be done and requests someone else to do it. However, such incentives can be pulled out by the Mission Command Centre if the commander fails the mission. As such when Jin submitted the mission details, all those extra ‘incentives’ have been awarded to him as well as the extra mission objectives that he managed to complete.
Granted some prefer gold bars because the point conversion of gold bars varied day to day and there will be a few who wished to profit from the most amount of points but other than that, lugging gold bars around town or out for missions was ludicrous and impractical. The War Maidens also could not understand the fascination for gold bars and Jin believed it had to do with the inhabitants of Synthesis World who could have used gold bars as their mode of currency and barter before this entire virtual world thing came along.
“Won’t that put them at risk of other commanders attempting to steal from them?” Jin asked and the veteran commander nodded his head, glad to know that someone new was willing to hear his thoughts and ramblings.
“CPT, that guy did not tell you everything but you need gold bars to exchange for War Maidens. Buy Mechanoids with points is actually more expensive.” Yinn told Jin through the encrypted tactical system channel.
“We have more than enough to remake our Medic as well as creating a new War Maiden…though the two of them would most probably not have Package Ten installed since Assistant Chief Engineer Rocky had done us a favour by skipping the requirements. There is no way the War Maiden Manufacturing Store would allow such concessions.” Yinn said felt a little disappointed that their new teammates would not have the same upgrades as them.?ree?????ve?. co?
“User, do remember about my request now that we are going to get one more permanent ‘member’ for the squad.” The Tactical System wrote and Jin became a little worried.”Will it go smoothly?”
“Lol, how much time has passed?” Jin asked as he knew there will be a discrepancy in their time when comparing parallel worlds.
