"You want to borrow our people?"
Shifeng could not help but shift his gaze to Feng Qianyu, astonishment filling his heart.
What was the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion?
It was a super-first-rate Guild. Just the number of internal members the Guild recruited each year was innumerable. The Guild also nurtured countless experts.
Yet, the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion actually wanted to borrow his people. This was simply unimaginable.
"That's right. I wish to borrow ten people from you to help me with a task. If you succeed, I'll pay you 5,000 Magic Crystals. If you fail, I'll pay you 1,000 Magic Crystals as compensation. If you die, I'll compensate you in other ways," Feng Qianyu said, nodding, smiling. "May I know if President Hei Yan is willing?"
Normally, when hiring experts for quests, one would either pay in Credits or Coins. Ordinary experts would only be paid a few Coins, while peak experts would only be paid around 100 Gold. Meanwhile, Shi Feng had paid in Magic Crystals. Magic Crystals were even more valuable than Coins. They were definitely hard currency.
Magic Crystals had long since become a strategic resource for the various large Guilds. One might be able to purchase a dozen or so Magic Crystals from independent adventurer teams or small Workshops. However, after 100 Magic Crystals, it was practically impossible to find them on the market.
To a large Guild, 5,000 Magic Crystals was a significant sum. Some large Guilds didn't even have that many Magic Crystals in their inventories.
Now, Feng Qianyu only needed to borrow ten people for 5,000 Magic Crystals. This was definitely an astronomical price.
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, can you tell us what you want us to do?" Shifeng was indeed tempted when he heard the price.
Aside from operating the Guild, Ling Yi's Workshop would also accept commissioned quests.
It was extremely rare for someone to offer such a high price to Feng Qianyu, much less pay in Magic Crystals.
The quest is very simple. You just need to defend an ancient tower on Thunder Island and prevent others from capturing it. As Thunder Island is a very special place, only a limited number of people can be sent there. When the time comes, the number of enemies attacking the tower won't be high. It'll be a miracle if you can send 20 or 30 people. As long as you can defend the tower until the main force captures an encampment, the quest will be considered a success, "Feng Qianyu explained after giving the matter some thought.
The matter regarding Thunder Island had long since spread among the various superpowers. It was no secret.
Currently, the various superpowers that wanted to monopolize Thunder Island had begun to recruit members. They had even hired some very powerful independent players to join their forces.
This was all because the conditions for occupying Sky Thunder Island were too special. It was not a matter of numbers. Instead, quality was more important.
That was why she thought of the Ling YI Society.
The Ling YI Society had performed very well in the Dark Arena last time, so it was definitely not a problem for them to join this battle.
In addition, she had recruited quite a few peak experts from other places. Although she might not be able to monopolize Thunder Island, she only needed a small portion of the island's control. Following this, she would slowly compete with the other Super Guilds.
"Sky Thunder Island?" Information regarding Sky Thunder Island immediately appeared in Shifeng's mind.
Sky Thunder Island was located in an extremely dangerous sea region known as the Sea of Death. The Sea of Death was a sea region with plenty of fortuitous encounters and treasures. There were also many ancient ruins in the Sea of Death. The Sea of Death's bountiful resources were beyond imagination. Hence, many maritime adventurer teams had loved to explore the Sea of Death.
Meanwhile, Sky Thunder Island was the only island in the Sea of Death where players could live for long periods of time. The other islands in the Sea of Death simply could not accommodate players for long periods of time. This was because, as soon as night fell, a large number of underwater creatures would emerge from the Sea of Death. Players simply could not stop these creatures.
Thunder and lightning struck Sky Thunder Island all year round. Even at night, no underwater creatures would appear on the island. Hence, Sky Thunder Island had become a safe haven in the Sea of Death.
Hence, the bloody battles on Sky Thunder Island in the past had never stopped. The various superpowers had always wanted to obtain Sky Thunder Island.
However, occupying Sky Thunder Island was not an easy task. In the end, none of the superpowers had truly occupied the island. In the end, the island had become a holy land at sea.
The Shifeng had visited Sky Thunder Island many times. Unfortunately, as the Guild was too weak, it did not qualify to establish a small foothold in the holy land at sea. Hence, every time the Guild visited Sky Thunder Island, they could only travel by ship.
The Shifeng had never thought that the war on Sky Thunder Island would begin so soon.
"This quest won't take long. One day should be enough," Feng Qianyu explained as he looked at the Shifeng, who had remained silent.
The contest over Sky Thunder Island was not like that of an ordinary town. Players only needed to occupy the town. The town's control over Sky Thunder Island's towns came from the island's monster encampments. The more monster encampments a town occupied, the more authority the town would gain. If one could occupy all of Sky Thunder Island's monster encampments, they would obtain the highest authority in the town.
The contest for authority would take place once a month for eight hours. Moreover, on that day, an ancient magic array would envelop Sky Thunder Island. If players wished to enter Sky Thunder Island, they needed an entry pass. Without an entry pass, players would be automatically teleported out of the island. Each entry pass allowed only ten players to enter the island. Meanwhile, the entry passes dropped from the Sea of Death's Sea Monsters.
The Sea of Death was an extremely dangerous sea region. There were plenty of sea monsters, and these sea monsters were much stronger than the monsters on land. Even traveling through the Sea of Death normally would result in a team-wipe, not to mention Sea Monsters.
Currently, the various superpowers were doing everything they could to hunt down Sea Monsters and had suffered heavy losses. Even the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion was no exception.
Hence, the entry passes they obtained were extraordinarily valuable. Naturally, they wouldn't allow ordinary experts to compete for them. Instead, they would send as many peak experts as they could to maximize the entry passes' effectiveness.
After pondering for a moment, the Shifeng suddenly turned to Feng Qianyu and asked, "May I know how many entry passes you have, Phoenix Pavilion Master?"
Feng Qianyu and Blue Phoenix were momentarily stunned by Shifeng's question.
The entry passes were a secret. They hadn't expected the Ling YI Society to know about them.
However, when Feng Qianyu recalled his encounter with Yuan Tiexin, he felt relieved. Although the Secret Pavilion wasn't among the superpowers competing for Sky Thunder Island this time, the Secret Pavilion was extraordinarily well-informed. It wasn't surprising that Shifeng knew about the entry passes.
"You really can't underestimate President Hei Yan's information. I won't hide it from you. I have more than 20 entry passes with me. In other words, I can bring over 200 people into the contest," Feng Qianyu said, chuckling. "Could President Hei Yan be trying to get a share of the action?"
She wasn't looking down on the Ling YI Society, but the superpowers competing on Sky Thunder Island were on a completely different level than the Guilds the Ling YI Society had encountered before. Furthermore, with only a handful of experts on Ling Yi's side, they wouldn't survive long inside. (To be continued.)
