232: B+ level task, collect Snow Wolf Fangs
Chapter 232: B+ Class Mission, Collecting snow wolf's fang
“Count Grudia, this B Class practical assessment is not complicated; you will lead the team to complete a B+ Class mission.”
Saying this, Adolf handed a document to Dick, adding, “The observers for this assessment are Lord Fama and I!”
“We will truthfully record your every action, provide the most fair and objective evaluation, and send the report to headquarters after the mission concludes.”
Hearing this, Dick nodded lightly, knowing that the accompanying observation and recording staff would definitely be the two of them.
After all, this is a B-Class Elite's practical assessment, and only high-level Adventurers Guild officials at the President level are qualified to serve as proctors.
Opening the mission description handed over by Adolf, Dick quickly read it.
【B+ Class, Material Collection】: The Thomas Merchant Guild requires one hundred snow wolf's fangs, specified to be from adult male Snow Wolves level 40 or higher.
Dick frowned, because the difficulty of this mission was close to A Class, making it the ceiling among B+ Class missions.
The Snow Wolf is an omnivorous Beast that lives in the harsh northern regions; it is naturally fierce and violent, has a high level cap, and can reach up to level 60.
Not only that, but the Snow Wolf also possesses innate magic called 'Frost Dance', which allows it to control wind and snow in battle to a certain extent.
But these are not the main points; the main point is that all wolf-type Beasts have one characteristic: they are gregarious!
The environment in the Eternal Frost Forest is extremely harsh; to increase their survival rate, Snow Wolves are generally very united.
They never act alone; the smallest Snow Wolf pack exceeds one thousand!
One hundred snow wolf's fangs from level 40 or higher sounds simple, but what you actually have to face is an entire Snow Wolf pack!
Humans are a favorite food of Snow Wolves, especially high-level professionals; their hearts are very delicious and are considered a great tonic for any Beast.
Furthermore, the entire Snow Wolf is made of valuable materials: fur, bones, heart, teeth... each more valuable than the last.
It is evident that humans and Snow Wolves have been in long-term conflict; the relationship between the two sides is basically one of 'you kill me, I kill you', making them absolute enemies.
The mission also specifically requires that the snow wolf's fang is not a molar or a carnassial tooth, but the canine tooth that the Snow Wolf uses for combat!
This is the most developed and hardest part of the Snow Wolf's body; an adult Snow Wolf's canine tooth can be as long as a forearm.
Without its canine teeth, the Snow Wolf's combat power will significantly decrease, so they will absolutely not willingly give up their canine teeth.
To complete this mission, there is a very high probability that you will have to fight, to fight an entire wolf pack!
By then, what you will have to face won't just be mere level 40 Snow Wolves, but level 50, or even level 60 and above Snow Wolves.
“Lord Fama, you didn't deliberately pick the most difficult mission for me, did you...?”
Hearing Dick's telepathic message, Fama pursed his lips and said somewhat speechlessly, “I picked the simplest one for you; after all, if you're in trouble, I'll be in trouble too.”
“Of course... besides this mission to collect snow wolf's fangs, there are also two other B+ Class missions, also in the Eternal Frost Forest.”
Hearing this, Dick's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, “Tell me about them; perhaps the other two missions are more suitable for me.”
“Heh heh, don't even think about it; the other two missions have been on the bounty board for several years, no one has taken them, and they are about to be upgraded to A Class...”
After some explanation, Dick quickly understood why no one had ever taken the other two missions.
One was a commission from the Beast Research Association to find a level 74 Overlord Demon Ape and film it up close for three minutes...
The other was a commission from a male Duke who wished to remain anonymous; he requested an investigation into the height, measurements, and other private information of the current Snow Elf Clan leader...
Let's forget the first one; it's definitely a solid A Class mission. Although you don't have to fight the Magic Ape, how could it possibly let you film it?
Moreover, the most important thing is that this Overlord Demon Ape seems to have not appeared for hundreds of years; the Eternal Frost Forest is immensely vast, and searching for it will take a lot of time.
As for the second mission, because the content was truly too stupid, the Adventurers Guild did not approve of it and could not use it as a practical assessment for Elites.
However, speaking of the current Snow Elf Clan leader, Dick once heard Donald say that he seemed to be a very beautiful... male Elf.
This clan leader's appearance is hailed as the most beautiful in the Snow Elf Clan for ten thousand years, even more beautiful than a female Elf.
And awkwardly, among his admirers, males far outnumber females, making him a natural 'gay saint'.
Looking at it this way, indeed only the mission to collect snow wolf's fangs can be done.
Although the Eternal Frost Forest is vast and boundless, it is the territory of the Snow Elves; they are extremely exclusive, making it difficult for the Adventurers Guild to establish a presence, and thus the missions available there are naturally pitifully few.
Half an hour later, Dick signed his name on the assessment contract.
The mission to collect Snow Wolves is relatively difficult, so you can find four other teammates to form a five-person team.
Since it is a B+ Class mission, Dick can team up with four B Class Adventurers; if he cannot find anyone, the Guild can help provide candidates.
However, just like the previous D Class assessment, Dick refused the Guild's help and chose to team up with Mina, Alice, Xiao Nai, and Cecilia.
“Count Grudia, are you sure? This is a B+ Class mission, and the strength of the teammates you've chosen seems a bit...”
To be honest, Adolf completely couldn't understand Dick's choice.
None of the four girls exceeded level thirty; among them, Mina wasn't even level 20, and the team composition was also very poor.
With this kind of setup, attempting a B+ Class mission is simply suicide!
“Let it be. I had already considered this before coming.”
Seeing Dick's unyielding expression, Adolf couldn't help but advise, “The Guild can help you find teammates; I guarantee they will all be the best...”
“President Adolf,” Dick shook his head, interrupting directly, “I don't want the best, only the most suitable. You don't need to persuade me anymore.”
For Dick, teammates who obey orders and follow commands are far better than those with strong power.
Although Dick is now a celebrity in the Royal Capital, his level and age are evident; those four unfamiliar B Class Adventurers definitely wouldn't be completely obedient.
When encountering danger, these B Class Adventurers would be more willing to trust their own judgment than Dick's commands.
It's a joke. Why should adults listen to a child's command? What experience, what knowledge do you have? Don't lead us to our deaths.
This is the situation Dick dislikes the most. When he leads a team, he has only one requirement: just be obedient.
Dick doesn't need anyone's suggestions, doesn't need meetings or discussions, doesn't need democratic voting; he practices the most thorough 'dictatorship'.
Because Dick's judgment is always the most correct.
Therefore, even though the average strength of the four girls is low, Dick is happy to choose them.
Just like the previous Underground City Championship, offer fewer opinions and do more work, have fewer emotional outbursts and keep quiet; just lie down and you'll win.
Among the four, Alice, Xiao Nai, and Cecilia are all slaves who have signed soul contracts, and Mina is an absolutely obedient good girl.
Dick holds absolute authority; his words are truth. This is the most perfect team.
