"You knew all along!"
The woman's furious gaze fixed on the Emaciated Figure swooping down.
"I thought you would enjoy the same method of death," came the voice, cold to the extreme, as it casually took away a thief's Health Points. "If you don't like it, why do you keep trying? Hmm?" The rising tone was laced with danger.
Behind her, the thief struck down the last drop of blood from the Sorceress.
A flash of white light took away a face filled with resentment.
Without a trace of blood, she finished off a few tails from the Blood Red Guild and finally sent a message to Handsome Brother, hoping it would wake Crimson Dusk up.
The Former Blood Color Guild Leader would never make such a foolish move.
As for the rest, spies.
Since everyone wanted to know about the Northeast Trade Route Mission's progress, she might as well share the information; she could collect some rewards too, couldn't she?
Suppressing the cold mockery in her eyes, she sent a message to the Information Broker.
In less than twenty minutes, the Game Forum exploded.
The Northeast Trade Route Mission, which had been under scrutiny by players for so long, surprisingly—
Started a Live Stream!
Seriously, were the players doing the mission out of their minds?
Could they not complete tasks properly anymore?
This was Bright's reckless move. It was important to know that if the only mission failed, one could not take it again. The evaluation of the mission directly affected the Reward. Hidden Missions were tricky; if one made a mistake, the Reward could be worse than that of a regular mission. Completing a hidden task was laborious, and if one did not achieve the expected outcome due to a single error, it would be a waste of both time and effort. This was something all players strived to avoid. To prevent chaos, most players tried to be as discreet as possible when undertaking hidden tasks; after all, the mission was called a Hidden Mission for a reason—why make it known to everyone?
Did they not want to complete the mission properly?
A wave of players began to vent their frustrations in the thread.
As the Thread Starter continued to update and delve deeper into the Northeast Trade Route Mission, players from Winter Snow City and Summerwater City gradually changed their perspectives on what was considered an epic-level complex Hidden Mission.
The reason for this shift was likely due to a comparison chart of Resource Merit Points posted by the Thread Starter, showcasing the Four Major Cities.
Spring Day City and Autumn Mist City, possessing the Southeast Trade Route and half of the Southwest Trade Route respectively, ranked first and second.
This disparity rang alarm bells in the minds of players from the other two Main Cities.
Resource Merit Points were currently the only source of income and substantial rewards for players!
Gradually, the tone of discussions in the Forum began to shift towards supporting mission completers.
This was undoubtedly good news for Yan Yan.
However, upon seeing this post, Crimson Dusk angrily smashed his teacup.
"Silent, you really are something."
His tone was as cold as February's sleet.
"Wangduan, place a permanent bounty on Shadow Alliance."
"Understood."
As they continued to scavenge, aside from You Ye Ye and I Am the Sword Saint who finally uncovered a piece of equipment, the others only found a few scraps of junk.
【Team Channel】Troublesome Fairy: Yan Yan, how's it going?
【Team Channel】Silent: Silver Armor, Swiftwind Boots.
They reported the two pieces of Silver Equipment to Team Announcement, which sparked a flurry of chatter.
【Team Channel】Weak Water Three Thousand: Wow, it's actually Silver Armor! I can feel myself taking another step toward becoming a great warrior...
【Team Channel】Sincere: The Swiftwind Boots are perfect for the fairy; they’ll help her run faster.
【Team Channel】The Lord's Gift: Give the Silver Armor to Weak Water. Next time we raid a dungeon, she’ll be the main tank. With Weak Water's skills, I'm already worried about how it’ll go before we even start. Sigh~ facepalm~ Overflowing with Sarcasm.
【Team Channel】Huo Qubing: If the Silver Armor goes to Three Thousand, with her giant sword and this armor, she'll be perfect for a Heavy Armor build. My Dark Iron armor is also Silver Grade, but its defense isn’t as good as the Silver Armor; it just has an advantage in attack power. So having her as our Heavy Armor is enough.
【Team Channel】Troublesome Fairy: Yan Yan, what do you think?
【Team Channel】Silent: No objections.
After a pause, Silent added, "In the Skeleton Graveyard today, one of the four difficulties will be cleared. There’s only one night left until the third clearance. If you all level up within four hours, I’ll take you to clear one of the remaining two difficulties. Don’t underestimate yourselves; your equipment is more than adequate. Plus, your skills are not inferior to those of the Elite Team from the big Guild. Believe in yourselves."
【Team Channel】Troublesome Fairy: So we shouldn’t keep these two pieces of equipment?
Seeing the other party refuse the gold transaction again, Cat Eyes suddenly understood and smiled brightly. "Don’t hesitate to take the equipment; Yan Yan wants us to use them for our mission. Let’s hurry up and deliver this batch of supplies for upgrades."
The team members instantly felt invigorated.
After clearing the last Humanoid Monster, Yan Yan was close to reaching Level 1.
Meeting up with the Supply Team, they took a detour to avoid the bandit hideout and smoothly arrived at Spring Day City’s Supply Officer Camp.
System: Congratulations Player Remains Silent for completing the first material escort mission.
Watching the rising gold coins and Resource Merit Points, the group returned to Sunshot Town with Uncle Jeni visibly relieved. She then reported the punishment results of Master Niru to the Supply Officer.
Three fifty-eight.
Skeleton Graveyard.
“Boss, how long are we going to wait? It’s almost four.”
Splashing Water in Your Face’s eyes sparkled mischievously as he looked at the defiant Peacock Nan Zhi.
Peacock Nan Zhi shot him a disdainful glance, waving her longsword. “I’m just curious about the external help Boss called. With just us, we could easily take them down, yet he still called for an archer—”
“Peacock, this time Boss called for a girl!”
Mao Mao's Thigh, clad in Heavy Armor, clearly had a leading role.
“What’s wrong with a girl! We’re here to take down enemies; if you want to flirt later, we can do that after we finish our business.” Ugly Yet Proud casually chimed in.
“Ugly.”
A cold, oppressive voice suddenly came from East Wind Arrives.
A faint warning hung on his noble and aloof face.
Everyone's minds instantly awakened.
The perceptive Splashing Water in Your Face immediately took over the conversation, saying, "I’m A Chou, but you’re wrong. The person the boss invited must have her own merits. It has nothing to do with whether she’s a girl or not. Otherwise, why would she replace Flickering Light? The synergy between Flickering Light and Lin Chuan Deity is exceptional."
As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere froze.
"Don’t stir up trouble, Langhua. Flickering Light is still here," Peacock Nan Zhi redirected his attention to Fleeting Light.
The Elf Archer, clad in level one elite gear, exuded an imposing presence.
A hint of Combat Intent flickered across his indifferent face. "I need to confirm that the external aid President invited truly has the strength to replace me. Otherwise, I won’t agree to let her take my position; that would be irresponsible to the Guild."
His rising tone carried a deep sense of determination, reaching the ears of Yan Yan, who had just arrived at the meeting point.
The previously silent East Wind Arrives caught sight of the brown-haired Gray and smirked. "Silent, you’re here."
"Yeah."
The time was exactly four o'clock.
