16: I can assign him tasks!

"I might have a way!"

The moment Su Yuan spoke these words,

the entire command center instantly fell silent.

Lin Zhan's recently roared command still echoed in the air,

he violently turned his head, his eyes fixed intently on Su Yuan,

his gaze was like a hungry wolf spotting meat.

"What way?!"

It wasn't just Lin Zhan, Li Guodong, and Secretary Wang; even General Long, who had been steadily seated in the back, cast his gaze over.

Contact the contestant?

This was an enormous problem!

After the national destiny arena opened,

the contestants were teleported to a completely isolated world.

Their side could only observe one-way through the live stream,

making any form of communication impossible.

This was like watching a movie; no matter how anxious you were,

you couldn't tell the protagonist that the killer was right behind him.

Now, Su Yuan actually said he had a way?

"Comrade Su Yuan, are you... are you serious?"

Major General Li Guodong's voice was trembling slightly,

He pushed up his glasses,

his eyes behind the lenses filled with urgency.

"I'm not entirely sure, but we can try."

Su Yuan forced himself to calm down and pointed to the holographic screen in front of him.

Of course, only he himself could see the system panel on that screen.

"In my administrator system, besides the modules for [contestant management], [instance management], and [Arena Mall], there is also a function for [Mission Issuance]."

He had just discovered this function while mentally searching through the system.

He hadn't paid attention to it before,

because this function required consuming national fortune points,

and it didn't seem as straightforward as providing intelligence or exchanging goods.

But now, the importance of this function instantly became prominent!

"Mission Issuance?"

Lin Zhan stepped forward, his tall figure practically overshadowing Su Yuan,

"What does that mean? Can you elaborate?"

"It means... I can edit a mission in the system, and then specify whether to issue it to one of our contestants or all of them."

Su Yuan explained,

"The contestant will receive a mission notification in their mind, just like... just like when contestant Wang Yi received the 'Newbie Gift Pack' notification."

Hiss!

A chorus of gasps swept across the command center.

If exchanging items before was about giving equipment to the contestants,

then this Mission Issuance function,

was practically installing a navigation device and mission guidance system directly into the contestant's mind!

The significance was too great!

"What is the cost? What price is required?"

Li Guodong truly lived up to his reputation as the Dragon's Strategist,

immediately asking the crucial question.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; such a heaven-defying function couldn't be without restrictions.

"It requires consuming national fortune points," Su Yuan replied. "Issuing one mission consumes 100 national fortune points, and any rewards need to be paid for separately."

100 points!

Hearing this number, Lin Zhan and Li Guodong exchanged glances,

and far from thinking it was expensive, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Only 100 points!

Compared to the strategic guidance it could provide, this was practically dirt cheap!

Just now, Wang Yi's "ten kill" achievement rewarded 100 national fortune points,

didn't that mean they could essentially get one Mission Issuance for free?

"Excellent! This is truly excellent!"

Li Guodong excitedly spun around twice on the spot,

"With this function, we are no longer mere spectators! We can guide! We can command! We can accurately convey our strategic intentions to every contestant!"

Lin Zhan's reaction was even more direct; he grabbed Su Yuan's shoulder, his gaze frighteningly intense:

"Comrade Su Yuan, are you sure you can issue a mission to inform Wang Yi about the Thousand Kill achievement?"

"Yes!" Su Yuan nodded heavily.

He had now fully immersed himself in the role of Chief Intelligence Consultant, his thoughts crystal clear.

"We can issue a mission. The Mission Name should be 'Eliminate the Threat,' and the mission content is to kill all the zombies downstairs. For the Mission Reward... we can include the reward for the Thousand Kill achievement. That way, Wang Yi will understand that what he is facing now is not a crisis, but a massive opportunity!"

"Good! Excellent!"

Lin Zhan's voice became slightly hoarse from excitement,

"Hurry! Do it immediately!"

He could already imagine the terrifying combat power Wang Yi would unleash upon learning this news!

That would no longer be passive defense,

but actively farming points!

"Comrade Su Yuan, you draft the mission content, and we'll advise together!"

Li Guodong also immediately moved closer. He knew that this first Mission Issuance was vitally important and had to be flawless.

Su Yuan nodded and began to conceive the specific wording of the mission in his mind.

He knew this was not just a simple transfer of information.

Subtle differences in wording could have a huge impact on the contestant's mindset.

It had to clearly convey the information while maximizing morale,

and without revealing too many secrets about himself as the Administrator.

After thinking about it, Su Yuan gave the instruction to the system in his mind.

"System, activate the [Mission Issuance] function!"

[Mission Issuance function activated. This issuance will consume 100 national fortune points. Do you wish to proceed?]

"Proceed!"

A virtual interface resembling an editor unfolded before Su Yuan's eyes.

[Mission Recipient]: (Can be specified)

[Mission Name]: (To be edited)

[Mission Description]: (To be edited)

[Mission Reward]: (To be edited)

Su Yuan took a deep breath and began discussing the specific content with the two generals.

"The recipient is designated as Dragon Country No. 1 Player, Wang Yi, Wang Yi."

Su Yuan first confirmed the target.

"The Mission Name... let's call it 'Thousand Kill Challenge.' How about that? Direct, clear, and impactful!" Li Guodong suggested.

"Good!" Lin Zhan nodded in agreement.

"The Mission Description..."

Su Yuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's write: 'Comrade Wang Yi, you have demonstrated extraordinary combat strength. Now, a severe trial lies before you, but also a tremendous opportunity. The Corpse Tide downstairs is a threat, but more importantly, it represents points and national fortune points. Please, while ensuring your own safety, kill as many zombies as possible to win glory for Dragon Country!'"

"How is this description? It affirms his ability, points out the stakes, and uses rhetoric like 'win glory for Dragon Country,' which will definitely have the best motivating effect on a tough guy with a military background like him!"

"Excellent!"

Li Guodong's eyes lit up,

"The address 'Comrade Wang Yi' is used well; it sounds official yet friendly. Furthermore, it doesn't reveal the detail that we can see his every move, only that he has demonstrated extraordinary combat strength, which can be explained by global announcements, preventing him from becoming suspicious."

"Finally, the Mission Reward."

Su Yuan looked at Lin Zhan and Li Guodong,

"We will write the achievement reward directly."

"【Mission Reward】: Complete hundred kill, the nation will receive 1,000 national fortune points; complete Thousand Kill, the nation will receive 10,000 national fortune points, and you personally will receive massive points and the special title Butcher!"

"Write exactly that!"

Lin Zhan decisively concluded, his tone filled with undeniable resolve.

"Good!"

Su Yuan no longer hesitated and entered all the agreed-upon content into the system panel one by one.

[Mission Recipient]: Dragon Country No. 1 Player, Wang Yi, Wang Yi

[Mission Name]: Thousand Kill Challenge

[Mission Description]: Comrade Wang Yi, you have demonstrated extraordinary combat strength. Now, a severe trial lies before you, but also a tremendous opportunity. The Corpse Tide downstairs is a threat, but more importantly, it represents points and national fortune points. Please, while ensuring your own safety, kill as many zombies as possible to win glory for Dragon Country!

[Mission Reward]: Complete 'hundred kill,' the nation will receive 1,000 national fortune points; complete 'Thousand Kill,' the nation will receive 10,000 national fortune points, and you personally will receive massive points and the special title 'Butcher'!

[Confirm issuance of this mission?]

"Confirm!"

Su Yuan silently affirmed in his mind.

Buzz!

On the system panel, the 100 national fortune points that had just been added due to the "ten kill" achievement instantly vanished.

An invisible stream of data penetrated the barrier between reality and the instance,

directly surging into the mind of Wang Yi, who was currently wreaking havoc on the rooftop!

...Zombie Siege instance, rooftop of a three-story building.

"Bang!"

Wang Yi fired another shot expressionlessly,

accurately blowing up the head of a zombie that had just climbed onto the second-floor windowsill.

The sound of gunfire had long become numb to him.

The bloody scenes could not cause a single ripple in his heart.

He was now like a precise killing machine, calmly calculating the trajectory of every bullet and efficiently clearing any approaching threat.

Although he didn't know why he had endless bullets, he knew this was his greatest reliance for survival.

The gunfire attracted an endless stream of zombies, but it also allowed him to temporarily hold this stronghold.

However, he knew clearly in his heart that this couldn't go on forever.

The number of zombies was too great, endless, as if they could never all be killed.

Yet, his stamina was limited.

Maintaining highly concentrated shooting for extended periods was a massive drain on mental and physical energy.

How much longer could he last? One hour? Two hours?

Once he got tired and made a mistake,

or if the number of zombies became so great that they breached the building's defenses, then he... just as Wang Yi's heart

first felt a hint of confusion and solemnity.

[Ding!]

A cold notification sound rang out in his mind without warning.

[You have received an urgent mission from the Dragon Country Administrator. Please check it!]

Dragon Country Administrator?!

It was this mysterious existence again!

Wang Yi's heart leaped suddenly.

That divine weapon, the desert eagle, from before,

was sent by this very Dragon Country Administrator!

Now, he was issuing an urgent mission again?

Wang Yi didn't hesitate at all and immediately chose to check it in his mind.

The next second, a clear mission panel, like a holographic projection, floated across his retina.

[Mission Name]: ... [Mission Description]: Comrade Wang Yi, you have demonstrated... to win glory for Dragon Country!

[Mission Reward]: ..., complete 'Thousand Kill,' the nation will receive 10,000 national fortune points, and you personally will receive massive points and the special title 'Butcher'!

When he clearly read every word on the mission panel, Wang Yi froze completely.

On his usually stoic face, extreme shock appeared for the very first time!
