The Legend of Min Hong

"We've barely covered 15 percent of the first mansion, but based on our suspicions, we think there might be a secret basement or underground structure within each of these mansions…" Little Fei explained;

"So, why didn't you search the basement then?"

"Barging straight into a place we know nothing about or its function would be a suicidal actions, don't you think?"

"Thus, we have to search the mansion for clues on what might be happening down there, before barging in…" Little Fei added…

"Oh, alright, but I ear we might have to leave this mission unsolved…" Min Hong abruptly said;

"What!?"

"Why?"

"How?"

"What's going on!?" The unbelievability of Min Hong's statement had Little Fei firing rapid back to back questions;

"I found a Yao demon today…" Min Hong dropped a bombshell;

"What!?"

"Where!?"

"In the left grand elder, and I sont know how many tribesmen here have been possessed…"

"But if it happens to be more than the left grand elder alone, then I think everyone else might be in a serious trouble…" Min Hong revealed his fears;

"Right, if it was only you, we should be able to find a way out of this, but there are just too many collaterals and they are not casualties we can turn a blind eye to…"

Daniel agreed with Min Hong whilst Little Fei paused for some reasons without saying another word, but the duo could sense some ample density of an aura of frustration around him;

"What is it, Little Fei?"

"It's nothing… I respect your decision…"

"You don't want to leave this mission unsolved right?"

Min Hong had grown to know a lot about how Little Fei thought about things and could tell that he was being frustrated to have fail a mission without them putting enough efforts in them yet…

But just as they were about to agree to call it quits in here, a sound that Min Hong nor anyone else had never heard in a long time resounded across his mind;

Chu-Lom!

It was loud, heavy and almost deafening, even frightening Daniel to a considerable degree, as the trio rushed towards the screen like their life depended on it…

On getting to the screen, what they saw stunned the trio;

Initializing System Update…

Downloading Update Patch File…

20%...

30%...

50%...

The progress of the download kept reading until it finally completed and then the trio were once again stunned by what they saw next;

Update Completed…

Aggressive Mode Activated…

Fatal Level Difficulty Missions Download…

Chu-Lom!

"Eh? Daisy are you there?"

"What is going on?" Min Hong was stunned, but got no response; Updating Penalty Record Value…

Chu-Lom!

"Evening Host…" Daisy spoke for the first time in almost a year;

"Hello Daisy, can you tell me what is going on?"

"Yes Host…"

"The previous operating system given to me by my creator had a clause within it which involves an update anytime system is unable to find a significantly worthy mission for Host over a period of time…" Daisy responded;

"I don't understand, what does that mean?"

"In summary, my creator have programmed me to enter aggressive mode once I have gone for too long without finding a suitable mission for Host's power level…"

"Whoa! Whoa!! Whoa!!!"

"Slow down a bit, you can't just make an abrupt upgrade without my consent…"

"Actually I can as you have signed the agreements on three different occasions…" Daisy responded;

"No I didn't…"

"Yes you did, host…"

"The First Time I awakened, I asked before integrating the system into your central nervous network…"

"You signed the second the moment you activated my Emotional Support System…"

"Finally, when you received your first welcome rewards, you also signed the third…"

"Wait, why didn't you tell me…"

"Activating my emotional support system enabled me to calculate your level of refusal if I asked and I realized host had a very strong tendency to reject, thereby causing host to be unable to achieve his full potential…"

Daisy responded except this time, there was a seriousness, solemnness and level of nonchalance in her tone like as if Min Hong was in for some very uncomfortable future;

"Alright, can you temporarily deactivate yourself?" 

"Negative…"

"Can you roll back your updates then?"

"Negative…"

"What!?"

Min Hong was stunned as was gradually becoming a little bit apprehensive in just the amount of deep shit he was in;

"Would you like to hear the new changes to the rules, regulations, terms and conditions?" Daisy asked with another nonchalance;

"You have twenty seconds to decide before suffering a penalty…." She added;

"What!?"

"What penalty!?"

Min Hong asked but the only response he got was the beeping sound of his timer reducing…

15 Secs…

13 Secs…

10 Secs…

"I don't think you might want to suffer the penalty she has in mind, thus, I will advise you to actually listen to what she has to say…" Little Fei advised Min Hong who felt frustratingly stifled by the situation…

"Tch… Alright, go ahead…"

"Acknowledged…"

"There are five new changes to the rules, regulations, terms and conditions…"

"Firstly, aggressive mode has been activated which means the frequency of your missions, its difficulty and also the timeframe for accepting or rejecting the mission has been updated…"

"Would you like me to expatiate more?" Daisy asked with a flat tone;

"Please do…"

For Some mysterious reasons, Min Hong knew everything that would be coming next are nothing but series of bad, nightmarish and life threatening news…

"For the next missions from now, the difficulty level would be unprecedented and are now ranked in the  following order; C, B, A, S and X but there are also two other levels;"

"XX and XXX which was made available should in case there is an update to your mission which makes the difficulty level fall into this category…"

"The frequency of your missions would as well be unprecedented coming between 1 – 3 days at most, and after every mission a period of 1 – 3 days of rest would be given to you before the next mission is assigned…"

"One mission every three days at minimum and a mission every day at maximum!?"

"The timeframe of accepting your missions has also been decreased to one day, and if mission isn't accepted by then, the system would automatically deem it as a failed mission…"

"What!?" Min Hong was finding everything to surreal;

"That is the first of the updated rules, regulations, terms and conditions…" "What is the second one?" Daniel asked;
