Chapter 595: Demeanor of an Expert
"I am a Tier 5 Storm Knight, but I don't have an Entry Pass. Currently this is already my third time mining; my Experience is equally rich. In addition, my Normal Sanity is 18, and I have an Epic-level Innate Talent: Holy Storm, which can make all allied forces gain the effect of weakening all negative buffs below Epic-level by 70% within 180 seconds. Furthermore, my entire body is covered in the Seven-Star Holy Set. Adding it up cumulatively, it is equivalent to a maximum of 30 points of Sanity. Acting as a Holy Tank is without any pressure."
"Also, you guys can call me Old Qiao."
That middle-aged man with piercing killing intent spoke up at this time, clearly very approving of the rhetoric of that Warrior Old Jia.
But whether it was Old Jia or Old Qiao, neither mentioned which organization they came from. It seemed this was an unspoken hidden rule.
"I am a Tier 5 Shadow Assassin. I also don't have an Entry Pass. Currently it is my fifth time mining. My objective is to grind out an Entry Pass in the Neutral City. Without this it is too passive; even staying at the inn requires consuming five years of Lifespan. If any of you can help me out, I am willing to accompany you to do a Purgatory Mission once. Of course, if you have other requests, I will also satisfy them without exception."
"Also, you can call me Little Tao."
At this time, that female Assassin of twenty-some years old spoke. It was just that her words were truly too direct, making Li Wei feel it was too miraculous upon hearing it.
But this seemed to be the rule here: Blatant, dazzling, straight and to the point. Because only by using the shortest way to state one's purpose and interests, as well as one's own advantages, would there be an effect. It was completely a postmodern, fast-paced method of communication.
As if everyone disliked ineffective socializing.
At this time, the fourth person glanced at Li Wei. His gaze was deep, having quite a bit of an effect of being angry without showing it. Thus, Li Wei understood in seconds: here, only the true big shots would speak last. How could he, with what virtue and ability, dare to speak last? He promptly and immediately said: "I am a Tier 5 Frost Ranger. I just got an Entry Pass. This is my third time mining. My advantage is that I can release Tier 3 Ice Magic, and can also Shapeshift into an eagle and a rat. My survival ability is relatively strong.""In addition, everyone can call me Thomas."
Hearing Li Wei report his identity as a Fifth-tier Epic, the other four people actually didn't doubt it. Only that one called Little Tao immediately gave him an affectionate glance, obviously wanting to ask for advice on how to conveniently grind out an Entry Pass.
And at this time, the final person, which was the middle-aged man with the deep gaze and unspoken authority, spoke in a low voice: "I am a Tier 5 Curse Warlock. I have an Entry Pass. At the same time, this is also my nineteenth time mining. As for Experience, I ask myself if I am richer than everyone present among you. Most importantly, I have a Six-Star Terrestrial Dragon Puppet, and also a Five-Star Sky Griffin Puppet. Besides this, my Reputation in the Neutral City has already been ground to Friendly, so I also hold an Occupation Mission in my hands."
"Everyone knows the importance of this Occupation Mission, right? This is almost the most cost-effective task in the Neutral City at our level."
"Now, I announce that I will become the captain of this Mining Squad. Who has an opinion?"
While speaking, an Dark Gold Ghost Head also appeared in his hand; the level looked very high at a glance. At the same time, Li Wei's Ghost-Head Pass also vibrated slightly. It was actually the other party sharing the details of this Occupation Mission as well as the Neutral City's certification over.
[Occupation Mission: Golden Side-Quest Difficulty, comparable to a Fifth-tier Epic task. Publisher: Neutral City. The specific task requirements are: conduct occupation within the Primal Ore Vein within the designated area in the Chaotic Realm. This process may consume a relatively long time, requiring at least five to ten Tier-5 Miners to be completed. During the occupation process, it may be necessary to resolve some thorny sudden problems.]
[Task Rewards: After completing the occupation, all Miners participating in the occupation will each receive at least ten units of Six-star Origin Ore, as well as 500 points of Reputation in the Neutral City, and 5000 Neutral Coins.]
[Task Requirements: No time limit, no limit on means used, maximum ten people. If five people complete the occupation, they can also obtain double rewards. But once one dies during this process, the Neutral City will not bear any responsibility. Life and death are fated; wealth and honor rest with Heaven. Wishing everyone good luck.]
[Warning: If someone actively commits a serious mistake during this process, causing the Occupation Mission to fail, or even causing the Primal Ore Vein to suffer severe losses, then the Neutral City will be qualified to conduct a targeted obliteration against them!]
Wow!
This was truly a resolute and vigorous task. Li Wei felt that he could be considered to have greatly broadened his horizons.
However, it sounded not bad, because Warrior Old Jia, Knight Old Qiao, and Assassin Little Tao, the three of them all had their eyes light up, obviously very excited, seemingly giving a feeling of having grasped the little tail of hope.
"Good, I have no problem. Speaking of this kind of Occupation Mission, I have long heard of it, but have never had the chance to encounter it."
Old Jia took the lead in agreeing.
Following that, Knight Old Qiao, Assassin Little Tao, and Li Wei all nodded continuously, as if they hadn't seen the world. Actually, this was what Li Wei was very curious about. Fifth-tier Epic was already very formidable; logically speaking, this shouldn't be ah.
It made them seem very low.
Could it be there was a hidden story?
"Everyone, you can call me Liu Sheng. Don't speak of the Occupation Mission first. Next, the first thing we must settle is the daily mining task. Every seven days, we must mine and bring back one unit of Six-star Origin Ore. Otherwise, the Neutral City can take back our Mining Rights at any time, expel us from the Neutral City, and log us onto the Blacklist. Speaking of which, the price everyone spent to be able to come to the Neutral City wasn't small, right?"
"Old Jia, what do you say?"
At this time, this Warlock had already entered the state of a leader.
But the Warrior Old Jia didn't feel there was anything inappropriate. Strength was king; this was very normal.
At this time, he looked at the incomparably hot Magma Sea all around, as well as the Sealed Mountain Interior where an exit fundamentally couldn't be seen. "The Primal Ore Vein located by the Neutral City should be in this area. The scope usually won't exceed ten cubic kilometers. But a Primal Ore Vein is one of the most valuable substances within the Chaotic Heavens. Primal Chaos Beasts will inevitably be born here; depending on the situation, they might reach Quasi-Tier 6. Next, we must formulate suitable strategies and tactics."
"If it is a Fire-type Primal Chaos Beast, it's still fine. What I fear is that Blood Plague Zombie Variants will be formed, frequently accompanied by Tier 5 Blood Plague Radiation Contamination, or even Tier 6 Blood Plague. Not only that, if we encounter mutants, it will also cause Sanity to drop and the situation to lose control. Actually, if it's one, it's still fine; what I fear is that there are many."
Warrior Old Jia spoke in great detail, but did not allocate specific tactical arrangements, because this was a power only the captain of the Mining Squad possessed.
It was impossible for the other party not to know these things. The reason why he asked Old Jia like this was purely to demonstrate his might. With Old Jia being so compliant, the other few people shouldn't play any Moth Tricks.
Sure enough, Liu Sheng nodded his head in satisfaction. His majestic gaze swept over Old Qiao, Little Tao, and Li Wei operating under the assumed name of Thomas. Only then did he casually wave his hand, taking out a massive Staff out of thin air. This thing was three meters high, just like a twisted, condensed large tree. All of its Life essence was compressed and sealed within, and was controlled and operated by layer upon layer and path upon path of bizarre Magic Runes, using this to form the excitation of spells.
Generally speaking, the feeling it gave Li Wei was like a variant Legion War Flag. The interior could store very powerful spells. For example, this Staff of Liu Sheng's could probably store twelve Sequence Five Magics. Anyway, it was truly very powerful.
Of course, if viewed from the perspective of the All-Heavens Alliance, this Staff was absolutely an evil item. If there weren't human Souls or other similar evil things inside, that would be truly weird.
After all, he was a Curse Warlock!
"First, we must arrange according to the worst-case scenario. The ensuing battle won't end after fighting one round, or fighting a few rounds. Rather, it will inevitably be continuous, never-ending battles. Because before the battle is triggered, we need to build a permanent Covenant Fortress here, as well as an at least level-one Blood Bone Tower. Only this way can my strength be brought into play, and I can provide continuous support to you guys."
"Besides this, we also need to build a Magic Power Mine capable of converting Flame Mana. Who knows how to build this? Thomas, you said you can release Tier 3 Ice Magic. Can you accomplish this?"
"Ah? This Tier 3 Ice Magic of mine is actually somewhat like a bloodline puppet. I actually don't understand Magic." Li Wei hastily shook his head.
The other three also shook their heads at the same time. The Mage Profession had nothing to do with them. Besides, how noble was a Mage? It wasn't worth coming to the Neutral City to be a Miner. In fact, any batch that mixed the most outstandingly within their respective organizations usually wouldn't come to the Neutral City. They themselves had independent, powerful squads, and would directly slaughter their way into the Chaotic Realm.
If they couldn't find a Primal Ore Vein, just hunting Primal Chaos Beasts alone could earn them pots full and bowls full. If they found a Primal Ore Vein, that was even more of a massive profit.
In one sentence, only middle-tier Samsara Travelers like them, who were neither high up nor low down, would do this.
Speaking of which, even for a Curse Warlock, they could easily get an Occupation Mission. Being high up and looking down on others wasn't To Joke.
Liu Sheng seemed to be no exception either. His gaze swept over Li Wei, a faint smile rippling at the corners of his mouth. Mages and Warlocks were often confused by people, but the two were not people of the same path; more often, they mutually looked down on each other.
Previously, this Thomas unexpectedly dared to claim to be able to release Tier 3 Ice Magic, so his weight had to be weighed. If he dared to be even a bit improper, he would directly be bombarded to death and swept out the door. In the Neutral City, their respective organizations' reach was beyond their grasp; if he died, he died.
Looking at it now, he was also an inexperienced novice.
"Leave this matter to me. Now, Old Jia, you and Old Qiao form a shield wall, test the depth first. Little Tao and Thomas are responsible for damage output, and incidentally break in with each other. Of course, the ugly words must be said upfront. If the Occupation Mission cannot be activated, so be it, everyone allocates the Source Ore according to the rules. If the Occupation Mission is activated, I alone want forty percent of all rewards."
"As for the rest, it will depend on your respective Contributions."
Captain Liu Sheng suddenly proposed the subsequent reward allocation plan at this time. Under this situation, who could object? Who would want to object? There was no way to object ah.
This is an expert!
