New Strategy

Not displaying points made Ying Chenlin feel very strange. His attention shifted from mission points to mission details.

[Slareed Snow Mountain]

[Mission Details: Slareed's polluted snow mountain area has year-round snow accumulation, and in recent years, pollutants have increased dramatically, causing significant fluctuations in regional pollution levels. The reason is unknown.]

[Reward Points: ?]

[Mission Difficulty: ?]

The Star Alliance mission system clearly marks every detail of each mission. For example, the above Rat Disaster mission details clearly indicate the location of the rat disaster. However, this mission without displayed points only describes the general situation of Slareed's snow mountain, a special mission with no clear details.

"We have a strange mission." Ying Chenlin shared the mission on the channel.

Zhao Lejie was puzzled, "This mission is not clear at all, and the points are not listed. Could it be some kind of hidden mission?"

You Su's voice was calm, "The mission list is public. This mission we see, others can see too."

"I've encountered this situation while playing games. Missions written like this are mostly exploratory missions," Chi Lizi saw the mission Ying Chenlin sent out, "Exploratory missions are challenging, with unclear clues, making it hard to find a breakthrough."

Not to mention this mission; it doesn't provide details like time and location, leaving people puzzled at first glance.

The most crucial thing for Dawn now is point acquisition. Such exploratory missions have a lower priority at this time. Ying Chenlin marked this mission, just to be safe, also sent it to the other two teams executing missions.

Qi Sicheng and Wen Yi quickly responded, both not recommending prioritizing unknown missions.

After switching to the Snow Mountain Rat Disaster mission, the corresponding information coordinates appeared on the team's shared radar. The four mechas wasted no time and quickly moved toward the location of the rat disaster mission. A 10-point mission is considered low, but as they moved toward the target, they didn't see other teams advancing.

During the movement, Ying Chenlin was still observing the situation of Slareed's snow mountain.

He raised his head and saw the vast gray sky. Since they entered the Slareed pollution zone, he had paid special attention to the differences between this pollution zone and others. He found that the facilities that should be present were indeed there, but the pollution zone equipment that could operate normally was scarce.

Communication systems and radar scanning systems could only rely on the systems mounted on the mechas. The pollution comprehensive positioning system malfunctioned... but the pollution detection system could still be used. How did the Star Alliance detect and identify these pollutants and provide mission guidance to participating teams?

This is an abandoned pollution zone, with almost no role for the management bureau. The remaining facilities are just some abandoned foundations. It seems these still-functioning foundations support the entire operation of the Star Alliance system. Ying Chenlin reviewed a lot of missions and found that most of them are elimination/handling tasks. The Star Alliance probably evaluates mission completion based on limited information.

So many elimination tasks...

Soon, Ying Chenlin's team arrived at the coordinates provided by the Rat Disaster mission. As soon as they arrived, the radar showed a large number of pollutants lurking. The main reactions of these pollutants came from a special snow rat pollutant on Slareed, highly resistant to extreme cold, causing a disaster.
