Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 1000  Convenient

{Available Missions}

Choosing the first option that caught his eye, Vicente came across a list according to magical cultivation. From what he understood, given how the information was presented, one could do missions of any level, regardless of their cultivation.

{Paragon}

{Archmage}

{Magus}

{Grand Magus}

Out of curiosity, Vicente chose the last option.

{1-Star}

{2-Star}

...

{9-Star}

'There are missions even for peak magicians on the island?' He was surprised and opted for the most advanced option.

{Information mission on Sir Hanequin}

{Escort mission to Virdurn Isle.}

There were only two missions in that section and when he clicked on them, Vicente saw a warning message alerting him that if he proceeded, he would have to go all the way with the mission.

This was the limit of his curiosity. He went back to something simpler, choosing {1-Star} from that same stage to see what missions were available. For this level of cultivation, there were dozens of quests, including quests outside of Light Cay, something he hadn't expected at first, but which made sense.

The strongest people in Light Cay were peak Grand Magus. It made sense that, when wishing to leave the island, one would assemble a group not only with powerful Grand Magus but also those of medium and low level. Not by chance, the same mission Vicente saw for 9-Star Grand Magus, he saw for 1-Star Grand Magus.

{Escort mission to Virdurn Isle.} (3x)

With this mission, the (3x) symbol showed that there were three vacancies remaining for this mission, meaning that three different individuals could accept it.

'I see. This system has missions that are both individual and collective. Once someone accepts an individual mission, that mission disappears from the system.'

Despite the temptation to accept a mission to get an idea of what they were like, Vicente resisted the urge in his heart and went for the {Negotiation} option.

In {Negotiation}, one could, as the name suggests, trade. This was basically a virtual barter store, where one side could connect to those with items, information, or other things to exchange. You didn't need to have anything specific to trade to access the tab. When you entered it, a list of names would appear and you could click on those names, nicknames as it were.

{Virginboobs}

Vicente found the name strange and immediately chose it.

{Information about the {Escort Mission to Virdurn Isle.}}

{Shiamune Wine.}

...

{7th Class Sword.}

Virginboobs had an extensive list of items, information and things to trade. By clicking on each thing on the list, Vicente could see examples of what he could offer to convince Virginboobs with the exchange.

The entire process was like an auction. You could place your bid and if there was nothing better, and the seller was willing to accept it, you'd make a deal.

That was all he could find out without going in depth with any negotiations.

'I'll explore that later. From what I understand, this is a gold mine. I can easily connect with people who have very relevant resources or information without having to move around the island.'

"I see. That's why Dark Hands is so big and difficult to control." Vicente muttered, but only Prisiche heard him. "Those people actually have something convenient on their hands."

"Master?"

"Prisiche, how easy is it for one to get connected to the Dark Hands system?" He asked curiously, realizing the value of what he had achieved.

"It's certainly very difficult, master. Firstly, according to the information I have, getting what you've just obtained is almost impossible. The method of getting what you've obtained is in dangerous forests like the one we're in, but less than 1% of the most powerful magicians on the island would come here.

Besides, the master's soul is one of the strongest I've ever felt. Even though you're just a newly promoted Magus, your soul is as solid as that of a Grand Magus. If it weren't for that, you probably would have felt your mind fry a few moments ago and would have been forced to reject the system in order not to die.

There are other implications that prove how difficult it is to achieve what you have obtained, but these are the main justifications, master."

Vicente asked. "If that's the case, why are there missions for Paragons here?"

"It's possible that one can send others to carry out missions on your behalf. It's also possible that some things useful to powerful beings have low levels of difficulty."

Thinking about it, Vicente understood. A specialist could do many things, but with a few exceptions, most magicians could only be in one place at a time. Assigning functions to weaker individuals was one of the methods of having all their objectives completed.

'I see... If I were with Annie here, I'd probably hire some Paragon to teach her something, observe on my behalf, among other things.'

"It makes sense." He whispered.

'If that's the case, then I've just tapped into a network accessible only to the strongest and most talented in Light Cay.' He realized the implication of what he had just learned.

He then finished his exploration, choosing the most prominent option for himself from those available.

{Contract Service} was basically a method of creating {Available Missions} and also analyzing existing missions. In other words, if the mission you were going to launch already existed, {Contract Service} provided you with information about possible similar missions that already existed.

Vicente immediately launched the service {Mission Information from Vicente Fuller} and received the result he was expecting.

{28 similar missions in progress or on hold at the moment.}

"Sigh! As expected." He opened his mouth and turned his attention back to the real world, returning to Bert, Garin and Rex's side.

'What was I supposed to do with that? Try to complete the mission myself to surprise those doing the research for me?'

The problem with that would be that he would have to complete the mission or suffer the consequences of failure. Dark Hands wasn't something cute that one could just benefit from. If one broke the rules of the missions, one could lose access to the system or even be hunted down and killed.

'No. If I'm going to use Dark Hands, I need to launch a mission that forces someone to follow my rules. In particular, I need to create a mission to disrupt the collection of information about me.'

Although it didn't seem that difficult, he needed something more—resources.

But Vicente didn't have enough resources to create missions right now and just started to plan better how to use what he got today to his advantage. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

'I have to go back to the sect. In the sect, I can build up assets and allies, but also methods of using {Negotiation}. Through this tab, I can get closer to creating the missions I need!'
