BXBX NOVEL Chapter 254
Editor: Hungry Panda
After running simulations from the information they have gathered until now, if 1000 people try level B advancement, 2 or 3 people will get to level A.
“The goal is 10,000.”
10,000 level A Lifers.
100,000 people can enter at the same time in level S missions.
10,000 cores, the other 90,000 need to be filled with level Bs.
There are at least 2 or 3 near level 9s, with as many as 6 or 7 level 8s. Those mutants under that can’t even be counted.
Even with Inferno’s group returning after keeping watch over the cocoon in White Queen’s case, she will have 5 right next to her.
Black Lord has just 2 but Korea, where he is, is a small country.
But there is very low mutant distribution relative to how small the land is, so if 100,000 Lifers enter, there will be battles everywhere they go.
They can’t just ignore everything and fight with the king.
That opportunity comes only after they have killed all of the underlings. Then, they need to have both quality and quantity.
It is naturally gold if level S Lifers are included in level S missions, but they probably won’t get rid of contribution until level A advancement.
Several troublesome matters form when looking at everything, but the biggest two are gear and mission configuration, and controllable mutants. Level A items are among the top in Life Mission’s technology.
If tens of thousands of level A Lifers form all at once, they need to be paid points but supply won’t be able to follow demand.
So testing is important, but it is also important to maintain an amount of members that they can handle.
In addition, supervisors can only control mutants genetically until level B, level 7. There is no progress with level 8s because they lack data.
Supervisors and helpers created Life Mission after thorough calculation and long preparation. They didn’t make it in a matter of days.
It had taken dozens of years.
After going through theory in the laboratory, they executed the virtual version, and executed the reality version with 10 years of going through the virtual.
The survival of the future hundreds of years later, depends on the world they live in in this Life Mission. The most important thing to the three supervisors.
The success of Life Mission.
They need to prove who is more useful between Lifers and mutants.
Levels A through E missions are just preparation exercises for level S.
Level S is the main point of Life Mission.
The two groups will face a turning point here.
A Lifer’s position is offense and a mutant’s position is defense. They separated the roles this way since they cannot control mutants like they do Lifers. If Lifers can’t complete level S missions with some standards in place, that would be because they are more finite than mutants.
Lifers may not know, but time isn’t infinite.
It is finite.
Even at this moment, time is running out until the end.
“We can’t fail.”
Borteth interfered because he wanted to get more results than the others, but also because he wanted to hurry up and see the end of Life Mission.
It isn’t good to drag on time.
It is a question of life and death.
Everything will end if they fail this experiment, not just the three of them. They could consider starting over, but that is impossible.
They do not have the capacity.
They are coming to the last of their resources to maintain the infrastructure, whether that is manpower or material. The energy to open dimensions drained their strength as well.
Whenever Lifers discover resources inside missions that they can’t take back to reality, they sent someone to bring them here. They used these things like equipment for Life Mission. It is because it is impossible to maintain the current state with the resources that they have now.
“Barren land...”
Borteth waved his hand and a hologram came up.
A red planet is visible beyond the universe. There, is Earth, what was once called the blue star. Nothing is left now after a long accumulation of natural destruction and occurrences of outbreaks from some point.
Borteth has never lived on Earth. It had gotten to that state before he was even born. It was just a memory of his grandfather’s childhood.
They achieved technology that can control dimension and time, but they cannot purify Earth with a population of just millions and lacking resources. Borteth is on the last ship that was created on Earth. The ship has been floating around the universe for more than 50 years with a population of millions.
And they found it. It is because they have a problem. Life Mission is the key to resolving that problem.
‘I’ll give the Africa case to you. In turn, don’t go against the rules anymore.’
Jigneon’s proposal, Borteth moved Tyrant because of Parasite King’s cocoon. He was going to make him go through the related mission.
He lost, but he gained all of Africa on the condition that he no longer interferes. He cannot turn it down. He advanced to level 9.
It is an incredible merit to get more level S authority over others. If he bothers Jigneon even after this, he will need to be prepared to go all the way to the end.
He doesn’t intend to do that because he doesn’t want a fratricidal war.
Borteth felt more psychological impatience than the other supervisors. Their common situation is the same.
But just as individual personalities are different, the pressure they feel is also different. Time isn’t on their side.
***
Cha Jun Sung read the details of mission reorganization on his PDA hologram, and lost interest.
The context is similar to a release of restrictions. If releasing restrictions released restrictions on Lifer level entry, this reform plan is a trick to move stagnant advancement along.
“They’re just driving us to the edge.”
Lifer levels don’t matter. As long as they risk their lives, they can enter any missions they want and a direct route to advance to level A opens up.
The details of reorganization aren’t complicated. It can be easily summarized if they just skim through it.
The existing contribution advancement system applies to the path to get to level S. Before that, they just need to complete the mission three times.
Top Lifers can’t give them rides on buses, but they can advance without doing anything if they are lucky enough.
Though the risk is still high, unless a Lifer hasn’t completely given up and they still have some lingering desire for advancement, it is obvious they will make an attempt. Humans have a tendency to self-indulge. The desire to divert others’ envy to a sense of superiority is an instinct created by a competitive society.
There are over 10 million level C Lifers.
Even just 10% is 1 million.
How many will become level B? And how many of those will become level A?
There’s no way to know if there will be a lot or a little until the results come out. What they can be sure of is the supervisors’ intent.
“If there aren’t enough Lifers to go through upper level missions, they have no choice but to drag them up from the bottom. Especially since I’ve become like this too.”
Cha Jun Sung is the only level S Lifer. He is closest to level S missions and he has the power to complete level A missions whenever he wants to.
He is the best source of data for the supervisors, but he has lost his qualifications to enter missions.
That’s not it.
He even killed Tyrant. He had paid the legitimate price for Borteth’s interference, but Life Mission had lost two talented Lifers.
Level A Lifers made up of Rankers and Park Jin Hyuk’s group are left, but they are all being careful. Because of that, there isn’t progress with missions.
Lifer advancement stopped at level C and mission progress stopped at level A. This is why they can’t keep up under the existing advancement system. They need to bring up the enormous manpower of more than 95% remaining in level C to get through level A. The sacrifices that come from this?
They won’t care. If the supervisors cared about things like that, the lost souls of Life Mission would cry in despair.
“Sacrifices are a definite since this is a biological experiment.”
Cha Jun Sung thinks that the supervisors are determined to sacrifice billions if not all of them before Life Mission is executed.
