When he first accepted the Energy Mining Area mission, it was only a B-rank mission with 8,000 Holy Coins. Now that a Sword Saint had appeared, it was upgraded to A-rank, and the reward of Holy Coins alone had increased to 100,000! The 5,000 Holy Coins were not even a fraction of what the Sword Saint had to offer! And the reward was far more than that.
The reward was 50,000 military merit points. In war, military merit points were more useful than Holy Coins. Many special resources during war could only be exchanged with military merit points, and you couldn't buy them with just Holy Coins. This was to prevent some people from buying and selling and destroying the market and making a fortune from the war. For example, there were many high-end soul equipment sets in the Supply Department, all of which were made by Masters. They were nicknamed the Mizobudapi Holy War Sets by the Holy Disciples. Not only were they much better than ordinary high-end soul equipment, but they were also a symbol of honor. Without sufficient achievements and contributions in the Holy War, one wouldn't be able to buy these equipment no matter how much money one had.
If your military merits were high enough and you had enough Holy Coins, you could even buy a military airship. However, these could only be exchanged with Holy Coins and military merits.
At the same time, Wang Zhong's personal level in the Dimensional Hostel directly jumped to Predator. He jumped from Dimensional Pioneer to the next level with just one mission. No one else could do this, and his points were overflowing. At the same time, the Wanderlust Team's exploration team level had also been upgraded to Level 4, and their credibility with the Holy City Army was even higher. This was related to the right to accept missions. It could be said that the Wanderlust Team went from not being able to accept any missions to being able to participate in missions that they wanted. Other than the top 10 exploration teams, all other competitors had to step aside.
What was even more outrageous was that the higher-ups even specially approved the Wanderlust Team's recruitment rights … This was a special preferential treatment, probably considering that the Wanderlust Team had too few members. Over the past few days, many exploration teams had actually suffered certain losses during missions. Although the extent of those losses was not enough to shake their foundations, many missions that could have been completed by themselves now required cooperation from other exploration teams due to a lack of manpower.
Under such circumstances, most exploration teams wanted to replenish their strength and recruit people from the Holy City, but the higher-ups didn't allow it. Although the teleportation array had been activated, it was mostly used to teleport resources and Holy City Army soldiers. There were no extra resource channels for these exploration teams to replenish their manpower. However, the Wanderlust Team was qualified to do so. Their priority was obvious.
With the distribution of various rewards, coupled with the fact that Grai and the others had almost recovered from their injuries, the Wanderlust Team was no longer gloomy, and they looked radiant.
Including Scarlet, there were only a total of eight people in the entire squadron. Wang Zhong and Scarlet didn't have any need for equipment, as the rewards from the mission had been used to fill in the squadron's fees. Therefore, the rest of them had completely changed their equipment.
Small Eyes still loved the 'Murphy's Hand Cannon' that she was used to using, so she didn't change it. Instead, she got herself a set of Swift Feathers. It was a set of dull gray armor and boots. In addition to being light and having excellent protection, the main focus of the armor was several sets of complex serial speed runic arrays that could increase one's movement speed by a lot. It was definitely a dream item for long-range warriors who needed to keep a distance from their enemies at all times.
Feng had also changed to an elemental crystal ball from a ward master. In addition to having a better ability to guide the energy flow of the ward, it also had an instantaneous Spirit Binding Seal that could be recharged and used repeatedly. It was a large-scale instantaneous ward that might not be very powerful, but it was extremely difficult for the trapped person to break through. During a battle, it could buy enough time for the ward master to set up the ward.
The resources were mainly spent on these two most important offensive and defensive points. Of course, the others also spent a lot of resources. Even Napier got his hands on the Soul Dagger that he had been longing for a long time. Oscar even exchanged a lot of consumable life-saving items, such as potions, crystals, and so on. This was to ensure that no one would die during the mission. There were all kinds of good things to choose from. After this round of shopping, more than 50,000 Holy Coins and 50,000 military merits were instantly spent to the point where there was only a small amount left.
Looking at everyone's excited, spirited, and hopeful expressions, Oscar felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
He had established the Wanderlust Team with his own hands, and many like-minded friends had gathered in the team. Everyone was happy, had fun, and supported each other. There was no scheming and scheming like those big exploration teams. He once thought that this was everyone's dream, but after so many years, how many of those like-minded friends were left?
It was not that the Wanderlust Team was not strong enough, but that he was incompetent as a commander. Countless mistakes in decision-making had caused the lives and futures of too many good friends to be ruined. This included participating in the Holy Battle this time. Under his leadership, the Wanderlust Team had not made any achievements. After returning from the swamp, they were faced with all kinds of pressure and responsibilities. Even when his teammates were killed by others, the hazy atmosphere enveloped the entire team, but he was powerless.
There were many times when he saw Sharmie's desperate look and felt the oppressive atmosphere in the team. He had the impulse to fight Hale in his name, but he also knew that even if he risked his life, it would be impossible to succeed. Not to mention that the other party had more people, even if it was just Hale alone, he might not be able to kill him. Furthermore, it would bring about very bad consequences. Could one imagine what the Wanderlust Team would be like if he was no longer around?
Oscar was also helpless. At this moment, he really felt tired. It was not because the blow this time was greater than when he lost his good friends, but because there was a limit to what people could bear.
It was only when Wang Zhong came back and saw that he had resolutely and swiftly solved all the difficulties and troubles of the Wanderlust Team that Oscar felt the burden on his shoulders suddenly disappear. He was very happy these few days, and even his sleep was filled with good dreams.
"I have a suggestion." Oscar raised his glass. Everyone was present. "I recommend Wang Zhong to be the leader of our exploration team."
Everyone was chattering happily. Recently, good things had happened one after another. Just admiring their new equipment was enough for the Wanderlust Team to celebrate for ten days to half a month. At this time, when they heard Oscar's words, they suddenly quieted down.
Wang Zhong was also slightly stunned, and then he couldn't help but laugh. "I didn't see you drink a few glasses, and you've become so arrogant?"
"I'm not joking." Oscar let out a long sigh. This decision was not an impulsive one. He had considered it repeatedly over the past two days, including the acceptance level of everyone in the exploration team. Now that he said it, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
"It's true that I founded the Wanderlust Team, but my original intention was to let everyone escape from the scheming and power struggles of those big exploration teams. However, because of my incompetence as a leader, we took many detours in the name of individuality and lost many good friends. Many times, I was powerless and could only watch as our old friends left us.
"I don't want to see those things happen again. The Wanderlust Team needs a stronger leader, and that person is you." Oscar slowly said, "Your ability, vision, judgment, and decision-making. More importantly, everyone trusts you, and we are willing to put our lives in your hands!"
