Chapter 10 Catching Screaming Mushrooms
Bai Qi went through almost all the F-level tasks, but still couldn't find the one he wanted.
Why don’t you find a few random tasks to do first to ease the economic pressure?
Just when Bai Qi was about to bow his head to reality, an E-level task appeared on the task board.
Different from F-level missions, which are mostly trivial, E-level missions are more or less risky, so basically only professional beast masters are eligible to take them.
And now such an E-level task actually appeared on the task board of the trainee beast master, which really surprised Bai Qi.
[E-level task]: Clean up the shriek mushrooms
Screaming Mushroom is a plant-type beast with the race skill of Screaming. It mostly grows outside the Hill of the Undead, and usually likes to hide itself in the soil, only when people approach it will it suddenly emerge.
If you don’t take precautions in advance, it’s easy to be stunned by their screams. If no one else finds out, when you wake up again, you may face a bunch of undead creatures’ warm hospitality.
This kind of task is sent to trainee beast masters to do. Is the staff of the beast master association convulsed?
With doubts, Bai Qi read the mission introduction carefully, and then he understood.
Because of the recent upsurge of undead in Gusu City, the number of beastmasters entering and leaving the Hill of the Undead has increased, and some spores of screaming mushrooms have been brought out, which directly led to the occupation of some fields on the outskirts of Gusu City by screaming mushrooms.
Screaming mushrooms reproduce extremely fast, surpassing the traditional four pests in a short period of time, causing the farmland owners to suffer unspeakably.
So, several nearby villages and towns issued tasks together, and asked the beast master to help.
This is it!
After reading the mission introduction, Bai Qi accepted the mission without hesitation.
The shriek of the shrieking mushroom is very troublesome to most beasts, but it is basically useless to undead creatures like Alpha, and it is not in a place like the hill of the dead, so this task is much easier.
Bai Qi put away the task board, ran to the female receptionist to register his information, and then stayed aside and waited.
Although there is no threat of undead monsters, the threat of screaming mushrooms in groups is still not small. Of course, it is impossible for Bai Qi to do it alone, so Bai Qi still needs to wait for other people to form a team.
Soon, four more people took over the task, and Bai Qi also received the notice and came to gather outside the gate of the Beast Masters Association.
These four people are about the same age as Bai Qi, and they seem to have known each other before, and they were having a lively chat before Bai Qi came.
Seeing Bai Qi approaching, a tall young man with a sunny smile on his face approached him and said, "Hi, my name is Gao Cheng, and you are also the Beastmaster who took the task of screaming mushroom?"
"Hi everyone."
Bai Qi nodded, greeted several people, and the other two responded one after another.
"Let's introduce our respective situations first."
Gao Cheng pointed to himself, and introduced: "Gao Cheng, a trainee beast master, pet animal first-level fire armored scorpion, masters proficiency in tongs strike and scorpion tail stab."
"Han Jian, a trainee beast master, a pet animal of level zero and level five ice crystal toad, who has mastered the ice crystal bomb of proficiency."
"Wei Ze, a trainee beast master, a pet animal of level zero and level five emerald green centipede, who has mastered the highly poisonous entanglement at a proficiency level."
Uh, the influence of the Five Poison Sect has already spread to other worlds? It feels like he's a little out of place.
Bai Qi couldn't help complaining for a while, and then introduced himself: "Bai Qi, trainee beast master, pet beast zero-level sixth-level shadow bone spur, mastering the proficiency of broken bone remodeling."
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, the four fell silent.
"Your pet has no attack skills?"
Gao Cheng looked at Bai Qi speechlessly, not knowing what to say, but Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Yes, but the grade is too low, so I didn't say anything."
"You can't do it like this. It's very difficult for a beast to pass the professional exam without one or two attack skills."
Gao Chengyu earnestly persuaded Bai Qi a few words, looked at the sky, and said: "The task issuer has prepared protective props for us, so if there is nothing else, let's start early."
Several people looked at each other without any objection, and then they got into the car under the leadership of Gao Cheng and went to the outskirts of Gusu City.
Gao Cheng was very enthusiastic. He explained to several people the points that should be paid attention to in the mission along the way, and he didn't reject Bai Qi because his pet beast didn't have attack skills. The group of five quickly became familiar with him.
Bai Qi looked at Gao Cheng, who was obviously very seasoned, and asked, "Brother Gao, your beast has already reached the first level, why haven't you taken the exam for a professional beast master license?"
Hearing Bai Qi's question, the other three were also very curious.
To participate in the professional beast master, the first condition is that the beast has reached the first level, otherwise it is not eligible to participate in the assessment.
Gao Cheng sighed and said, "I have passed the exam three times, but I failed in the end."
"Is the assessment of a professional beast master so difficult?"
Bai Qi was a little worried. Originally, he wanted to go to the Hill of the Undead outside the city after getting a professional beast master, but now it seems that it is very difficult.
Gao Chen nodded with a serious face, and said: "Professional beast masters assess not only the fighting ability of beast masters, but also the wild survival ability of beast masters. It's not just a simple battle."
Viability in the wild?
Bai Qi has heard of this before, but he always thought it was just thinking about theoretical knowledge. Now it seems that his thinking is too simple.
Seeing that several people were a little depressed by what he said, Gao Chen quickly eased the atmosphere and said, "But you can also go to the assessment first and try it out. Although the ability to survive in the wild will be assessed, it is not too dangerous. Go and get familiar with it first. It's also good to go down."
Wei Ze looked at Gao Chen and asked, "Brother Gao, will you participate this time?"
Gao Chen nodded and said, "Of course I'm going. I spent a lot of time preparing this time, so there shouldn't be any problem."
"Well, let's forget it, it feels a little too late."
Professional beast master assessments are usually held once every three months, and the next assessment will be half a month later, so they must be too late to prepare.
"By the way, Bai Qi, judging by your clothes, you should also be a student of Star Machinery Academy? Why don't you have a contracted mechanical beast?"
Bai Qi shrugged and said: "I'm a student of the Jiwu College. I just signed a contract a few days ago, and I didn't care so much for special reasons."
A few days ago, you just signed a contract and already reached level six? And it's still a non-combat professional, what were they doing before...
The four people with combat professional backgrounds collectively fell silent...
