Fortunately, Ningguang did not ask too many questions. After a few words of concern, she left with her attendants.
It was only after her figure had disappeared that Keqing asked, "I can't shake the feeling that Lady Ningguang seems a bit unhappy. Is it just my imagination?"
"Ahem… it's nothing. Go on, get to your mission," Su Han deflected.
"Okay."
With the Flower-Flower Fruit, Keqing's combat power had naturally increased a fair bit.
Of course, she still felt some weakness from her injuries.
But if it was a Level 1 mission, she could still complete it with ease.
Keqing opened the Multiverse Mission Group interface and chose to accept her independent mission.
A dialogue box appeared in front of her.
[Do you wish to accept the private mission?]
[Hint: Once a private mission is accepted, you will be directly pulled into the mission world and can only return upon completion!]
[Note: The difficulty of the mission world is random, but it will not exceed your own group member level!]
"Yes!"
The thought flashed in her mind, and her body instantly vanished.
When Keqing's vision cleared, she found herself in a damp forest.
[Mission: Kill 50 Goblins!]
"Looks like it's a one-star mission."
Keqing gripped her sword and walked deeper into the forest. Soon, she encountered some small, green-skinned humanoids.
These creatures were holding crude weapons and charged towards her, shouting in a strange language.
"Too slow."
With a flash of a Lightning Stiletto, Keqing appeared in the middle of the goblins.
As the light of her Electro power flickered, the creatures were annihilated before they could even scream.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Keqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
These things were even easier to fight than Churl-churls.
Well, what's wrong with an easy mission?
She shook her head and continued on.
However, in this dark and dense forest, it was impossible to tell north from south. At one point, Keqing felt as if she were in a maze.
Now, forget about goblins, she could barely recognize the path she was on.
Keqing frowned slightly. She was still forty kills short of her goal. What should she do?
Suddenly, she remembered her Devil Fruit ability.
She closed her eyes.
Her power spread out.
On the trees within a three-hundred-meter radius, countless eyes and ears instantly appeared.
At that moment, a squad of the small humanoids passed in front of one of her eyes.
There were about fifteen of them.
"Found you!"
Joy filled Keqing's heart, and she turned and dashed to her left.
Soon, she found that squad of goblins.
Then, she headed in another direction.
She had to admit, the Flower-Flower Fruit was truly amazing for reconnaissance.
All she needed to do was spread out her eyes and ears, and she could perceive everything that happened within a 300-meter radius.
In just fifteen minutes, Keqing had quickly completed her independent mission.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the private mission. Mission difficulty: 1-Star. You have been awarded 10,000 points!]
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the private mission. You have obtained the mission reward: Goblin Recruitment Contract.]
[Goblin Recruitment Contract]: You can spend Mora to recruit goblins. The goblins will not disappear until they are killed. However, be careful, as these goblins do not possess high intelligence.
"That was fast."
Su Han was a little surprised to see Keqing appear in front of him.
It's only been a few minutes. She's already done? Was her mission helping an old lady cross the street?
Keqing said happily, "The mission was simple: kill fifty goblins in a dark forest. I didn't expect the power of the Flower-Flower Fruit to be so useful."
"Gathering intelligence and things like that will be so easy in the future."
"And you know what? Although I haven't cultivated Observation Haki, by spreading my eyes all around, I can achieve a similar effect. I can see the enemy's movements even behind me!"
You don't know until you try it. Once she used it, she was shocked.
The power of the Flower-Flower Fruit was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
For example, during the battle just now, Keqing had manifested four eyes on the tree trunks.
And she herself had her own two eyes.
That meant she had six eyes, giving her a 360-degree, all-around view of the battlefield.
A sneak attack? It was simply impossible.
This was the first time she had ever experienced combat like this. It was absolutely exhilarating.
This… isn't this just a surveillance camera system? Su Han thought.
He gave Keqing a thumbs-up and praised her for her talent.
If it were another person, they would probably only be able to do what Robin did, using the power for minor tricks and such.
This must be the difference in comprehension between people.
To have just obtained the fruit and already be able to apply it to combat so effectively—no wonder she could become a member of the Liyue Qixing at such a young age. This was her true skill.
"By the way, don't independent missions have a special reward? What did you get?"
Beidou's last mission had yielded a gene-modification agent, which was currently still being researched by Sucrose at the Guili Plains. Who knew how the analysis was going.
"A Goblin Recruitment Contract. I can spend ten Mora to summon one goblin, up to a maximum of five hundred. And I can recruit once a month."
"You know what, Su Han? Those little green guys are too weak. They're completely useless."
Speaking of this summoning contract, Keqing was speechless.
Goblins that were even weaker than Churl-churls—what was the use of summoning them? It was a pure waste of Mora.
But Su Han didn't think so. In fact, he felt that Keqing's reward was insanely overpowered.
These goblins… weren't they the perfect source of manual labor?!
And you could recruit one for only ten Mora.
That was just too cheap.
