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!”

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region

The Shattered Circle
Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain the bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events that threatens to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies.
