Just as the Midnight Tea Party's members were waiting for an answer from their commander, Breeze Wine, Shifeng and the others were just as surprised.
Breeze Wine offered three pieces of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment.
Even first-rate Guilds' peak experts only wore Level 40 Dark-Gold Equipment at this stage of the game. Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment was extremely difficult to obtain. Normally, players could only obtain it from Field Bosses or quests. After all, the various large Guilds were still accumulating weapons and equipment from Level 40 large-scale Team Dungeons. Their 100-man team's equipment standard had yet to reach the standard for Level 45 large-scale Team Dungeons.
If Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment were auctioned, it could fetch at least 200 Gold. If it were top-tier, it could easily fetch 400 to 500 Gold.
Three pieces of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment would be worth 1,000 Gold.
Even a large Guild would be willing to help with such a price.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of us, Commander Breeze. However, we have other matters to attend to, so we won't be able to join you," Shifeng rejected the offer without hesitation.
Although three pieces of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment were expensive, they were not what the Ling YI Society needed right now.
The Green Ebony was related to Stone Forest Town's prosperity. It was their top priority.
Shifeng's rejection surprised the Midnight Tea Party's members.
Even a Super Guild would not easily refuse a price of 1,000 Gold, yet Shifeng had accepted it without hesitation …
Dark War and the others, who had not wanted Shifeng to join the Midnight Tea Party, were displeased.
At the very least, their Midnight Tea Party had never asked anyone for help before. Now that they had asked someone for help for the first time, they were actually dumped. How could they not be depressed?
Meanwhile, Endless Scars, who stood beside Xiang Shifeng, suddenly turned to him. Smiling, she said, "Actually, we don't need your help with our quest. We only hope that you can help us fend off monsters while we maintain the magic array. We won't need much time, just one hour. If you think that three pieces of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment aren't enough, we can offer 4,000 Magic Crystals as compensation. What do you think?"
"Big Sis Endless?" Cloud Yarn's eyes widened in shock as she stared at Endless Scars.
It was one thing for her commander to invite her to join the Midnight Tea Party, but she had never thought that Endless Scars would do the same.
Moreover, they were trading in Magic Crystals.
Magic Crystals were currently the mainstream currency among experts in God's Domain. This was because Magic Crystals allowed players to enter the Divine Colosseum. They also had many other uses. It was easy to exchange Magic Crystals for Coins, but it was extremely difficult to exchange Coins for Magic Crystals. As for weapons and equipment, if an expert didn't need them, they wouldn't be worth as much. Hence, peak experts preferred Magic Crystals over weapons and equipment.
"Four thousand Magic Crystals per hour? Miss Endless, your offer is truly irresistible." Shifeng was shocked by Endless Scars's wealth.
Not long ago, Feng Qianyu had hired ten members of the Ling YI Society for an entire day. He had already felt that he was rich when he offered 5,000 Magic Crystals. If he were in Feng Qianyu's shoes, he would not be willing to pay such a sum.
Only now did he realize that there was always a mountain taller than the other, and one was more beautiful than the other.
However, when Shi Feng recalled that Endless Scars had the Blackwater Consortium's support, forking out 4,000 Magic Crystals wouldn't be a problem.
"Let's sign the contract now, then." When Endless Scars heard Shifeng's agreement, the smile on her face grew even more alluring.
Following which, Shifeng signed a contract with Breeze Wine.
A system contract was a guarantee for both parties. Aside from players who could not bear to spend five Silver Coins on a contract, most players would sign a system contract when they cooperated with each other.
After signing the contract, Shifeng and the others followed the Midnight Tea Party's members as they carefully advanced along a small, graveled path through the forest.
"Commander, Endless, what are you guys thinking? This quest is already dangerous. Now, a group of unknown people has joined us. What if they get greedy after we complete the quest? Won't we suffer a huge loss?" Dark War asked in annoyance as he looked at Shifeng and the others trailing behind him.
The quest this time was extraordinary. It was definitely the most difficult quest the Midnight Tea Party had ever completed. Although it was not a Legendary Quest, it was still an Inferior Legendary Quest. There was a high chance that they would obtain a Fragmented Legendary item.
Fragmented Legendary items were treasures that not even Super Guilds possessed.
If Shifeng and the others found out about this, it would be a miracle if they did not fall out with them.
The other members of the Midnight Tea Party supported Dark War's opinion. They simply could not understand why the two calmest members of the team were acting so foolishly.
"Commander, do you want to speak, or should I?" Endless Scars asked Breeze Wine, smiling as she ignored everyone's complaints.
"Alright, I'll do the talking," Breeze Wine said, shaking his head. Breeze Wine shook his head and laughed. "Although you know that the quest is very difficult, you don't know how difficult it is. This time, Endless and I have estimated that our chances of success are less than 30%. The hardest part of this quest is opening the door!"
"Opening the door?" Everyone was confused.
"That's right, opening the door. Although we have the key to opening the Fallen Ark, activating the door will trigger the Ark's mechanisms and alert the Ark's guards. Based on the information Endless and I have, there should be five guards. One of them is a Grand Lord, while the other four are Great Lords. With the manpower we have right now, we have to maintain the magic array while dealing with one Grand Lord and four Great Lords. The difficulty is simply too great. Originally, Endless and I had planned to use the two Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls our adventurer team obtained to challenge the Ark, but now, things have changed. With these experts, our chances of success have increased to 50%," Breeze Wine explained. "Moreover, getting to know these experts is not necessarily a bad thing. We might even be able to work together in the future on some high-difficulty quests."
Realization dawned on everyone. It was no wonder why Endless Scars was willing to pay such a high price.
While everyone was quietly chatting, Breeze Wine led the team to a large canyon with lush mountains and clear waters. The canyon looked as if it had been cleaved in half by a sword. Both sides of the canyon radiated a powerful aura that deterred the monsters in the Crying Ghost Ridge from approaching.
"Isn't this where the Fallen Ark is?" Shifeng was shocked when he saw the scenery before him. "Could the Midnight Tea Party's quest be related to the Fallen Ark?"
The Fallen Ark had been extremely famous in God's Domain in the past. It had also been the Crying Ghost Ridge's greatest secret.
