Game Starts With The Scarecrow Chapter 36

Chapter 36: This Scarecrow’s Mission Is Trash!
“Ah, no!” Mo Fan immediately shook his head and shrugged off Yan Linxia.
Then, she introduced her and Wolverine together to his sister.
“Brother, if you didn’t tell me, I would have thought that she was your girlfriend.”
Mo Han snickered and teased.
“Even if I wanted to look for one, I wouldn’t date my own housekeeper!”
Mo Fan pursed his lips and glared at her.
When Yan Linxia saw this, she immediately ran to the kitchen.
…
Mo Fan did not expect Yan Linxia’s culinary skills to be so good.
Other than Wolverine, the three of them ate in peace and joy.
Throughout the meal, Mo Fan and Mo Han were full of praises for Yan Linxia.
Yan Linxia’s little face flushed red from the praise.
By the time Yan Linxia was done packing, it was already 7 pm.
“Brother, where did you find this housekeeper? Her culinary skills are not bad!”
“I found her at the nearby talent market. I almost chased her away before you came back.”
“Oh? What’s going on?”
Mo Fan briefly described what he knew to Mo Han.
“Brother, you have to be careful. Don’t let her beauty get to you.”
Mo Han shook her little head with a solemn expression on her face.
“Don’t worry. Don’t you know your brother’s self-control? How can I be seduced by this little housekeeper?”
“Besides, there’s still Wolf. He’ll protect us!”
As Mo Fan spoke, he glanced at Wolverine and instructed, “Wolf, if you’re at home, I’ll leave the safety of my sister and I to you.”
“Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll protect you!”
“Yes, if you run out of battery, go and charge yourself. You must maintain your strongest state at all times.”
Mo Fan nodded in satisfaction.
From what he knew, with Wolf around, there was no need for him to be afraid of Yan Linxia’s tricks.
This was one of the reasons why he left Yan Linxia behind.
However, little did he knew that there was a huge difference between a complete cyborg and a humanoid machine. But as an ordinary person, Mo Fan did not that much about these things.
“Brother, this Wolf must have cost a lot of money, right?”
“That’s right, 4.19 million dollars!”
Mo Fan nodded and smiled proudly.
“We don’t lack money anymore. I earned another 20 million dollars in the game today!”
“Why don’t you stop working at that studio and just go home to play games with me!”
“Now that I have so much money, I can’t spend it all by myself. I can easily support you.”
Hearing Mo Fan’s words, Mo Han immediately shook his head and said slowly.
“Brother, it’s your money if you’re rich. How can I spend your money as I wish!”
“Besides, you haven’t found a wife yet. How could you get married if I spent your money as I wished?”
“Also, I have my own hands and feet. I can earn my own money, so there’s no need.”

At this point, Mo Han paused. Then, she smiled and continued.
“But if it’s a gift from you, then it’s a different story!”
“Alright, what do you want? I’ll buy it for you!”
Mo Fan was not angry at Mo Han’s words at all.
Instead, he smiled helplessly.
“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Mo Han smiled mischievously and returned to her room.
Looking at her back, Mo Fan muttered to himself.
“Since you haven’t decided yet, I’ll make the decision for you!”
…
After giving another set of instructions to Wolverine, Mo Fan entered the game once again.
As soon as he came online, he was stunned.
He checked the remaining time.
There were still more than 9.9 billion seconds left.
Almost nothing had changed.
According to his previous speculation, he had to remove the mushroom poison from his body.
But he could not move, so he could only ask for help.
Other than NPCs, only players could possibly come to this place.
“But if the players saw me like this, will they try to kill me?”
Mo Fan was currently in his true form.
After fusing with the bloodline of the Demonized Vengeful Spirit, not a single part of his body was normal. There were traces of blood and rotting flesh everywhere, the smell in the air was pungent.
Furthermore, his entire body was covered in snake scales and dog fur.
There were even some straws stuck in them.
Furthermore, his head neither resembled a dog head nor a human head.
It was truly abnormally terrifying.
There was even a long name above his head.
If the players saw him, they would definitely treat him as a wild monster!
Mo Fan tried to operate his status panel.
He realized that he could actually use it.
He entered the [Fashion Skin] interface and casually changed to the scarecrow skin.
Soon, Mo Fan transformed from a monster into a scarecrow.
However, he remained frozen. He still could not move.
[System Notification: Condition fulfilled. Congratulations on unlocking the NPC Mission Distribution System!]
What was going on?
He had never taken a liking to this scarecrow skin before and had never used it before.
But he did not expect to activate the NPC Mission Distribution System after putting it once again.
Mo Fan was surprised.
He could issue missions?
In other words, as long as players came to him, he could give them missions?
Mo Fan knew very well how powerful this function was.
Could it be that I, the scarecrow, am originally an NPC?
Mo Fan suddenly realized something!
Why did he become a scarecrow the moment he entered the game?
It could not be for no reason!
If that was the case…
This scarecrow was originally an NPC who issued missions. However, when he logged into the game, something went wrong and he inadvertently occupied the body of this scarecrow.
The coding was messed up all the way until he put on the scarecrow skin…
Thinking of this, Mo Fan felt that this was the case.

However, he still had no idea what was going on.
It was just his theory.
Shaking his head, Mo Fan immediately checked the NPC Mission Distribution System.
[NPC Mission Distribution System]
[Current Mission System Level: 1]
[Current Mission Rating: Gray Normal Mission]
[Current Number of Missions Available: 100]
[Mission System Advancement Requirement: 80% Completion for 100 Gray Missions]
[Current Mission System Status: Closed]
[Note: All mission rewards are based on the issuer’s Spiritual Energy and money, any mission item given as a reward will be automatically deducted after the mission is completed.]
Seeing the detailed introduction of the NPC Mission Distribution System, Mo Fan was shocked.
This system could be upgraded.
As long as the players could complete 80% of the missions he sent out, he could proceed to give higher-tiered missions.
The only bad thing was that he had to pay for the mission reward himself.
Thinking of the mushroom poison in his body, Mo Fan immediately activated the Mission Distribution System.
Then, he wrote the mission according to the guidelines.
[Composing Mission…]
[Gray Normal Mission: Curing Mushroom Poison]
[Curing the mushroom poison in the scarecrow Strawly will give you 100 gold coins and 200,000 Spiritual Energy Points.]
[System Notification: Mission difficulty, reward, and grade do not match. Mission creation failed!]
When Mo Fan saw the last system notification, his eyes widened.
What was going on?
Was this mission very difficult?
What kind of content could the gray mission release?
Mo Fan immediately tried again.
[Mission difficulty and grade do not match. Mission creation failed!]
[Mission reward and grade do not match. Mission creation failed!]
[Mission type and grade do not match. Mission creation failed!]
…
As the mission creation continued to fail, Mo Fan finally understood the requirements for this gray normal mission.
He made a new mission once again.
[Composing Mission…]
[Grey Normal Mission: Find the Mushroom Poison Antidote]
[Find the antidote to the mushroom poison in the scarecrow. There is a chance to drop the item after killing a Mushroom Spirit.]
[Antidote for Mushroom Poison: 0/10]
[Mission Reward: Silver Coins x 10, Spiritual Energy x 8000]
[Level Requirement: 10]
[System Notification: Congratulations on composing the mission! Please set the parameters as soon as possible!]
Seeing the successful creation, Mo Fan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
He really did not expect it to be so difficult to issue a mission.
[Setting the mission parameters for “Find the Mushroom Poison Antidote”]
[Mission Distribution Number: 100]
[Allow Acceptance: Yes]
[Default Acceptance: Yes]
[Objective Mission Range: 5 meters]
[Limited Player Acceptance: Unlimited]
[Mission Reward: Automatic]
After setting the parameters, Mo Fan only needed to wait for the players to come close to him.
Because the mission was set to be accepted by default.
As long as the players were within five meters of him, they could choose to accept the mission without talking to Mo Fan.
Otherwise, if he did not set it to default acceptance, he would have to talk to the players and issue missions. Since he was still frozen, that meant that he could not issue any mission at all.
Since there were no players around here, Mo Fan could only wait patiently.
He opened the official website and looked around.
After a day of development, there were already a lot of players above Level 10 in the game.
However, most of them were stuck in the Dense Fog Forest.
But there were some players that released clearing strategies for the Dense Fog Forest.
Those who could tackle it were basically grouped up by now.
Those who could not were only able to watch the show from the beginner village.
More and more players passed through the Dense Fog Forest.
Some stronger players even came together and specially collected money to bring people through the Dense Fog Forest.
The fee was quite expensive.
They charged $500-1000 per person.
The forum was filled with such posts.
Some people were really eager to go to Maple Leaf City.
Thus, they were more than willing to pay.
Seeing this, Mo Fan was no longer anxious.
After seeing all of these, he knew that players would eventually stumble upon him.
There was no need to worry that no one would accept his mission.
…
After about ten minutes, a few players finally arrived from the Dense Fog Forest.
When Mo Fan saw this, he was a little excited.
Come here!
Come over quickly!
Come over here!
Seeing the players getting closer and closer, Mo Fan became even more excited.
However, those players were a little far away from him and were soon attracted by the Mushroom Spirits.
They began to try farming the Mushroom Spirits.
Damn, why were they as persistent as him?
If not for these Mushroom Spirits, he could have entered the city long ago!
Mo Fan grumbled inside.
The good thing was that they did not keep grinding Mushroom Spirits.
They headed for Mo Fan.
“Boss, look! There’s a scarecrow here!”
“Why is there a scarecrow here?!”
A group of people immediately walked over.
It was only then that Mo Fan realized that they were the members of the Proud World Guild and the one leading them was Proud World Traveler.
“Why… Why does this scarecrow have such a long name?”
“Dense Fog Kid Pioneer-Sturdy-Agile-Vigorous-Nimble hmm… Scarecrow Overlord Strawly?”
“D*mn, I can’t even finish reading it in one breath!”
“Why is it so long? It’s more than ten meters long!”
The group was shocked by Mo Fan’s name and their jaws almost dropped.
“Oh, it’s an NPC. I can accept a mission!”
“Come here quickly. As long as you get close to this scarecrow, you will be able to accept a mission.”
“F*ck, this scarecrow’s mission is so trashy!”
Proud World Traveler looked at the mission rewards and complained.
“Boss, it’s good enough that we can get a mission. Moreover, we have to kill the Mushroom Spirits anyway. It’s basically killing two birds with one stone if we take this mission.”
“Makes sense. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to snatch the monsters around when the others arrive! At least now, we have a logical reason to occupy the area.”
Hearing their words, Proud World Traveler nodded.
“Alright, then let’s start farming!”

8 113Core Defect
In the 264 years since the Great Singularity Wars, the world has been irrevocably changed. Technologies like nanobots and rogue artificial intelligences have caused the planet's wildlife to evolve in dangerous and powerful ways, pushing humanity to the verge of extinction. However, the remaining survivors are not without ways to fight back. Nanotech can enhance humans just as well as beasts, but perhaps most surprisingly, humanity has found an unexpected ally: a group of human-neutral AIs called Daemons. Val is a 22-year old woman striving to become a User: a nano-empowered human paired with a Daemon that serves as society's final and most powerful line of defense. When a critical issue in her nanosystem's core seemingly leaves her unable to serve as a User, she's given a difficult choice: give up on her dreams or accept a potentially unstable AI, Noir, as her Daemon partner. Val and Noir are stronger together than they are apart, but can they survive long enough to unlock their potential? Can they find a place among the other pairings like them, shunned by society but essential to civilization's survival? If Users are humanity's last line of defense, welcome to the sacrificial first line: the Defects. Updates are currently once a week, aiming for the weekend. Chapters usually 2k-3k in length.
