Cutting-Edge Intelligence

Because of its exclusive food-selling privileges, coupled with the full support of the bank heir who occasionally dropped by to maintain their relationship, the Penguin Merchant Guild’s entire European branch had been expanding steadily.

Moreover, it relied entirely on members recommending it to one another and never actively fanned the flames, so it did not provoke much resistance or suspicion.

Their food buffs really were quite good. Even all the major Legions themselves benefited.

When tackling difficult missions, every member of the group could somehow improve their strongest aspect by at least 10%, all right?

The big shots even had a chance of obtaining food that granted a 50% boost to a single attribute!

That could provide enormous help and breakthroughs in any mission scenario.

Forget joining forces to boycott the Penguin Legion. If the Penguin Merchant Guild withdrew from Europe now, they would probably panic instead.

As for side effects or whether this guild might become too dominant, there was no need to worry too much. After all, it was an outside force with no local foundation. Wasn’t it still relying entirely on the Rothschild Family?

They were not worried about the Penguin Merchant Guild. What worried them was that the Rothschild Family, which had close ties with the Penguin Merchant Guild, might grow stronger because of these tremendous benefits.

They had joined forces with the Penguin Merchant Guild, stirred up trouble in the Germany Zone, and now wanted to swallow Germany’s mech production base. They had been getting rather cocky lately…

After the Rothschild Family absorbed all the negative public opinion from outside, Xu Yue naturally continued making a fortune in silence.

After Deva Path Pain returned to the Huaxia Zone, aside from instilling power and spending one S-Class Reward to open the Eight Inner Gates through the Seventh Gate, he also made an appearance at the headquarters of the Huaxia Zone’s Penguin Merchant Guild.

The Penguin Merchant Guild’s grand moves in Europe had already proven its foundations and strength. Now that a different person had attended the meeting, it subtly informed them once again that the Penguin Merchant Guild was backed by a powerful and mysterious Legion.

No one would ever connect it all to a single person.

Then, using his Meditation Room privileges and paying the A-Rank Plot fee to activate it, Xu Yue once again began rapidly integrating the various abilities he possessed.

He had also completed the development of the Rasenshuriken series during this period.

This was an ability with excellent versatility and applicability. All sorts of ninjutsu could be incorporated into it, even…

Xu Yue was also attempting to incorporate things like Kamui and Truth-Seeking Orbs into it.

The Meditation Room privilege he had obtained in Naruto was, in the long run, indeed far beyond the scope of an S-Class Reward.

S-Class Task Point ×1, A-Class Task Point ×8, B-Class Task Point ×44, C-Class Task Point ×67, 170,000 Reincarnation Points.

These were the resources Xu Yue currently had left over.

If the Penguin Merchant Guild’s dividends were included, the number of Reincarnation Points would increase by at least tenfold!

However, the Penguin Merchant Guild’s income had been reinvested into its expansion, which was why it had grown at such a speed.

They had also begun hiring and training personnel such as customer service staff.

Some of the external modules provided by the Mission Space could be installed and utilized as well, but he still needed to carefully search for a suitable foundation for those modules…

Day after day passed, and the day the Promotion Mission opened had finally arrived…

Inside the activity room of the Beiyang Society at Saint Hill Military Academy, several figures had already gathered. Chen Hang, acting as the team leader, began his briefing.

"Although I used the society privileges granted by the Legion to bind us into this mission together, the gap in our ranks is too great. The Captain’s Key alone can no longer ensure that our starting locations will be the same. Besides, two newcomers are currently advancing to become veterans."

"This is France Zone, after all. The primary natives in this Mission Space are also white, so we have no geographical advantage here. Therefore, everyone’s first task after entering is to find their companions and regroup. Only by sticking together can we improve our chances of survival. Most of you who came here specialize in mechs, so every one of you must value your role. Understood?"

After he finished his arrangements and encouragement, everyone, Xu Yue included, answered in unison, "Understood."

Mech specialization differed from other specialties. Apart from certain special missions that only a handful of elites could break through, as long as one possessed piloting skills and a basic mech, they would not hold the team back. Even elite Reincarnators would not reject support from teammates with basic mechs. At worst, they could still serve as excellent cannon fodder and meat shields.

"Very good. The Mission Space of ‘S.H.I.E.L.D. vs. Hydra’ is one of the more thoroughly developed Mission Spaces among the Western powers. Various point-farming systems have already matured. But since the Mission Space has yet to eliminate this Mission Space, it means there should still be unknown information to uncover within it."

"The intelligence distributed to everyone was obtained from the Holy Hill Legion with great effort. It is all the most cutting-edge and up-to-date intelligence, and it contains plenty of detailed information. You must all take it seriously."

After paying a considerable intelligence tax, everyone preparing to enter together, including Sun Lin and Xu Yue, saw the detailed shared intelligence and revealed excited expressions.

There were actually quite a few side missions. With such detailed information, as long as they found a suitable point of entry, they could very likely obtain substantial benefits.

As expected of such a mature point-farming Mission Space!

Xu Yue, who likewise wore an "excited" expression, showed no reaction in his heart as he looked through the intelligence on this supposedly complete, mature Mission Space where points could already be farmed.

Oh, so they knew Iron Man was Tony Stark. They knew that the Iron Man armor had been personally built by him, that he had a terrible temper and was difficult to approach. Though his physical body was relatively weak, he was protected by S.H.I.E.L.D., and anyone who acted recklessly would be dealt with.

Oh, not bad. They even knew about Hulk. They knew Hulk had been created by an accident during Gamma Rays experiments, that his real name was Bruce Banner. Through a series of lessons and attempts, they had discovered that Gamma Rays experiments were far too dangerous, with a survival rate close to zero. However, if they obtained Bruce Banner’s blood before he transformed, it would have mysterious effects. Some big shots had already integrated it into their own power systems and become alternate versions of Hulk.

Stark Industries had hidden missions that could trigger rewards such as Spider Serum or Human Enhancement Serum.

What? They even knew about "S.H.I.E.L.D."?

Impressive. According to the explanation in the intelligence, when this Mission Space first appeared, Reincarnators who received missions to become "S.H.I.E.L.D. agents" mostly did not even know what "S.H.I.E.L.D." was. Many had therefore been judged to have failed their missions.

The lucky ones now needed to cherish this hard-won information. Although getting in was still difficult, at least it pointed out a route and direction, telling them roughly how those people operated.

The full name of "S.H.I.E.L.D." was the "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division."

It possessed mysterious power and supreme authority, specializing in dealing with all manner of unusual incidents.

After learning their lessons through blood and tears, the senior big shots had already told them that in this Mission Space, no matter how powerful one was, they had to keep a low profile. Otherwise, if they caused major destruction or civilian casualties, they might mysteriously be dealt with by S.H.I.E.L.D. and vanish from the world.

The explanation sounded convincing enough, but when Xu Yue read the examples below, he understood. Apparently, they had attributed every case of big shots mysteriously losing contact or suffering setbacks in this Mission Space to S.H.I.E.L.D. dealing with them…

It really had not been easy for them to summarize the Iron Law of keeping a low profile in this Mission Space.

And they still considered this place a "mature point-farming Mission Space." He truly did not know how to describe their courage.

Still, it was fine. As long as they ensured they remained "low-key" and "didn’t cause trouble," it was indeed possible to steadily farm points using the intelligence they currently possessed. So they could keep farming.

He needed to find a way to farm as well…

Then, Xu Yue placed his hand on the Captain’s Key. As light flashed, the mission began…

Two updates~

Note: There would be a small amount of comic-book background, but overall this would center on the Marvel cinematic universe, Earth-199999.

For example, Ang Lee’s Hulk, the X-Men series, and Deadpool were not part of this universe…

In chronological order, it should be Iron Man I, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor I, then The Avengers~
