Chapter 199 Task Allocation Room

This mission control room is the largest emergency task allocation center in the Ring of Stars. The second largest is the Ceres sub-control room.

Throughout the Ring of Stars system, in every region, every department, and every local force, whenever they encounter problems they can't solve or situations where they can't find nearby assistance,

they all send their tasks to these two locations.

Each mission control room receives over ten million different kinds of tasks every day.

Usually, these tasks have relatively long deadlines, allowing ample time to respond.

Most importantly, these assistance requests typically fall into two categories: those issued by forces directly under the Ring of Stars, and those issued by affiliated countries.

The best way to distinguish them is by looking at the reward offered. Tasks from the Ring of Stars' direct forces and organizations are rewarded with merits, while tasks from affiliated countries usually offer star coins and items.

Tasks issued by the Ring of Stars are generally easier to handle because they have the highest priority and relatively generous rewards, so they are usually taken quickly.

However, tasks directly issued by the Ring of Stars are often major undertakings, like the defense of the stargate incident.

That was uploaded by Vice Commander Ginode.

The Ceres mission control room would issue mandatory dispatch orders to all bases on Ceres.

Assistance requests from affiliated countries often go unanswered because the rewards are unattractive, and the tasks are too difficult.

The entire control center has very few available combat personnel, only a few thousand at most.

Therefore, which tasks get prioritized depends on the dispatcher.

Most of the dispatchers in the control room have been placed there by various countries at great expense.

They can turn a blind eye to assistance requests from other countries, but they can't ignore requests from their own.

To resolve the backlog of tasks from their own country, the dispatchers need to rely on their own resources.

They need to ask for favors.

Furthermore, these dispatchers also face performance evaluations with monthly quotas. If your evaluation scores are too low, it indicates incompetence, and you'll be kicked out of the control room, with plenty of newcomers waiting to take your place.

...

At this moment, Luo Yue cautiously said, "Uncle Kugewe, how about I take some of your performance points?"

Kugewe's expression stiffened, and he said, somewhat annoyed, "Figure it out yourself. I haven't even passed yet."

"Uncle Kugewe, don't they say you're very experienced and know a lot of big shots? And they all give you face?"

Luo Yue asked with a hopeful look.

"They're all dead."

Kugewe said, his expression somewhat strained.

Just then, Artificial Intelligence·Yinghuo (Firefly) suddenly announced in a pleasant voice,

"Updating database..."

As soon as those words were spoken, the entire control room fell silent. Everyone put down their work and looked at the virtual display screen of Artificial Intelligence·Yinghuo.

"New dispatch rookies: 326."

"Key additions: Mi Weite (Colonel), Flora (Colonel), Su Mo (Colonel)!"

...

The appearances of Su Mo and the other two were displayed as golden cards in the control room,

listing their basic information.

Prompt: Mi Weite (Colonel) is bound to Derlary by default.

Prompt: Flora (Colonel) is bound to Temanco by default.

Everyone looked at the information displayed by Artificial Intelligence·Yinghuo with envy, but there was nothing they could say.

This was something they had developed long ago.

Just then, Su Mo's card floated to the very center.

"Prompt: Since Su Mo (Colonel) has no default contact person bound, a dispatcher is needed to be the bound contact person."

Artificial Intelligence·Yinghuo explained.

Hearing what Artificial Intelligence·Yinghuo said, everyone became excited. Whoever could become the contact person would have the first opportunity to get to know the other party, with a high probability of establishing a personal friendship.

Of course, the bound contact person can be changed, but if you are replaced, you can only blame yourself for not being good enough and missing the opportunity.

In an instant, everyone applied.

"Pray for a successful application. It's been so many years since a high-ranking unbound individual like this has appeared."

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

At this moment, Artificial Intelligence·Yinghuo said fairly and impartially, "Given that Luo Yue in the entire control room has the worst performance, the worst resources, and consistently ranks at the bottom, she is hereby designated as Su Mo (Colonel)'s contact person."

"I won?"

Luo Yue's mouth was slightly agape, and she couldn't believe it.

"Little girl, your luck has turned around. This is a dark horse!"

Kugewe was genuinely happy for Luo Yue. The other two colonels weren't anything to be excited about, as they both came from the First Procreation Zone and already had complete chains of interests.

"No way, that underachiever got selected?"

"Heavens! That's a prospective candidate for the Royal Order! No way, assigned to that little girl."

...

The crowd in the control room immediately erupted in a clamor of envy and jealousy.

Even Sister Li, who was usually the center of attention, narrowed her eyes as she stared at Su Mo's profile.

Her brow furrowed as she muttered to herself, "Something's not right."

She had been paying attention to Su Mo for a long time and had been thinking about getting in touch with him. But according to the information she had received, Su Mo had been seriously injured in a previous battle.

It was impossible for him to report to the military in the short term.

She didn't expect him to report today, catching her completely off guard.

As for Su Mo being assigned to Luo Yue, she didn't care at all, because being assigned didn't mean she could keep him.

...

Inside the mission allocation hall, Su Mo looked at the countless tasks and sighed slightly.

"If someone could clear all these tasks, how many merits would they get?"

"Don't daydream. It's impossible to finish them all. And many of the tasks here have extremely high difficulty levels, and the rewards for many tasks don't match the difficulty, so they're not worth taking."

The Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"True."

Su Mo nodded.

Just then, Su Mo's wristband vibrated and displayed a prompt.

Su Mo subconsciously opened it to view it.

"Prompt: Dear Colonel Su Mo, Luo Yue has been bound as your default mission allocation contact person. You can contact and communicate with her regarding any issues you encounter in the process of accepting and completing tasks."

Su Mo glanced at it, not paying much attention.

However, another prompt popped up immediately afterward.

"Prompt: Congratulations on joining the Guangyao Zhi Cheng (City of Radiance) group chat."

Su Mo was slightly stunned. A group chat?

He tried clicking on it, and a holographic virtual chat box appeared in front of Su Mo.

The entire group chat had a total of 632 members.

At this moment, a message popped up.
