About two hours later, five strange, pointy chariots that were shaped like shuttles came from afar and stopped in the open space in front of the central hall. It didn't have wheels, and relied on an air cushion to propel forward. Hence, its speed was exceedingly quick, and wasn't restricted by the environment. These reliable Vulture class hovercars were mainly used for scouting and patrolling, and could travel at speeds of 200 miles per hour. It was said that after installing ion thrusters, this speed could be raised by 50%. The front of the Vulture class hovercar was equipped with a single soldier grenade launcher. It was said that the new model of the Vulture class hovercar was equipped with a 'Spider Mine' system, and could carry up to 3 intelligent 'Spider Mines' for defensive purposes.
However, it seemed like the Vulture hovercars parked in front of the central hall didn't have such a function, and were more focused on carrying passengers. Sheyan stood by the window of a metal supply station, silently gazing at Reef leading the contestants into the vehicles. Only after the four Vulture hovercrafts filled with contestants had left, did Sheyan finally sigh and said.
"What a pity, this party really does have many talents."
Mogensha appeared behind him like a specter, asking suspiciously.
"I know this mission is extremely risky, but I don't know why you're so pessimistic about this main mission? You must know, a mission failure will result in a deduction of 3 points of the highest attribute and a total of 6 achievement points. "
Sheyan muttered.
"However, I feel that the mission punishment given by the realm isn't just a simple indication of failure. On the contrary, I can sense a strong sense of warning from it! I believe you've experienced those low difficulty main missions before, and most of them would add 'if you fail to fulfill certain conditions, you'll be obliterated'. Yet this mission with a higher difficulty doesn't have the word 'obliterated'. This is definitely a special circumstance, and the mission's punishment is even a 6 achievement point loss limit. This is undoubtedly a covert explanation: There's a huge possibility of more than 6 party members dying, and there's a possibility that Johnny Regal won't be able to rescue them. That's why the penalty is 6 points, the difficulty of this mission can be seen at a glance! "
Mogensha didn't mind and replied.
"But that's normal, a high risk means a high reward. I believe the rewards will be even more generous."
Sheyan heaved a sigh and replied.
"But you've overlooked something even more important. That is the configuration of our party members. I can hide my innate defensive ability from Reef and the rest, but I can't hide it from the realm! What kind of mission would cause the realm to assign two contestants with defensive innate talents to a party?! And then there's also you and Joel, the two of you who are extremely powerful in both offense and support? Or perhaps … you've always thought that I'm just a stock with potential that hasn't shown itself yet? "
Mogensha was stunned! Even though he clearly knew in his heart that even characters like the Metals professor and Fanu had perished in Sheyan's hands, he had never witnessed Sheyan's true prowess. Furthermore, Sheyan had been his ally ever since he entered this world. Sheyan's low profile caused his limelight to be completely overshadowed by Qiaoer and Reef. Hence, Mogensha subconsciously felt that Sheyan was a person with immense potential, but his current strength was limited. After hearing Sheyan's words, cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"That's right! What kind of f * cking perverse mission would require two contestants with defensive innate talents …..? And me and Joel too! Oh right, there are still a few who have hidden their prowess! Yet the realm's prerequisite for setting the mission's difficulty, is that everyone has to cooperate wholeheartedly and disregard contributions! But this damned party is already fighting for power. Seaman that brat's foresight, how could he be so far-sighted? "
Sheyan observed Mogensha's expression, he knew he must've comprehended something. Patting his shoulder, he continued.
"You should know, the realm will definitely not issue a death mission. That goes to say, no matter how difficult the world is, there will still be a sliver of hope. Which goes to say, if we were in the party, we might be able to complete the main mission. But there's another important reason why I gave up on this main mission. That is, I found a choice with lower risks and higher rewards. "
Mogensha's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed.
"I understand, you want to search for the victims of that transport ship! We've already rescued them from the Spore Wyverns once, if we succeed again, they'll naturally be grateful! We can also reap more benefits. "
Sheyan nodded and continued.
"Not only that, the realm definitely won't do anything useless. Do you still remember when we first entered this world, our transport ship was bombarded by the Spore Cannons from the planet below? Since it's impossible to destroy our transport ship, why would they arrange this attack? This undoubtedly tells us, if the Spore Cannons weren't bombarded by the planet, then the transport ship would naturally be unobstructed! Therefore, the dispatched transport ship wouldn't need to take a detour, and could even arrive at the planet ahead of time to rescue them. Perhaps, this is the crux to completing the main mission! "
Mogensha finally nodded his head in sincere conviction, before handing over all the arachnid nuclei he acquired to Sheyan. Sheyan then directly called over Jinkuang, who had run off to god knows where. When Mogensha saw that Sheyan had actually found a goblin who valued money over his life as his servant, he was rather astonished. After Sheyan revealed Jinkuang's 3 signature shameless moves, Mogensha's back was already drenched in cold sweat. Seaman's concealment of a servant had already exceeded his imagination, what more his hidden strength?
Thinking of that, Mogensha increasingly felt that his choice was a wise one. Simultaneously, he silently mourned for the future of Reef and the rest.
The two of them tallied up, adding up to close to 30 arachnid nuclei. As for the arachnid keys, they opened up close to 10 arachnid nuclei. The rest were all 'broken tentacles', 'hard carapace' and similar items, there were at least 5-6 of them. According to Mogensha, this thing was a very basic material, but only contestants with forging ability could use it. After some calculations, it was better to sell it directly to the realm for utility points, otherwise it would take up a lot of space.
Sheyan wasn't lacking in these 700-800 utility points. Ever since he was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant, his nightmare imprint's interspatial space had expanded by a lot. Thus, he kept these items and didn't sell them. Mogensha's items were also purchased by him. Then, he tossed a total of 40 arachnid nuclei to Jinkuang, allowing him to bargain with Lady Anzi. He even promised him 50 utility points for his hard work.
Upon hearing the words' hard work ', goblin Jinkuang was incomparably agitated as though he was injected with a dose of stimulant. He eagerly rushed towards the exchange room, similarly inheriting Sheyan's + 1 legend level. Thus, he unreservedly kicked towards the door, but of course it bounced back. The doors of the base were made of steel and slid left and right. Madam Anzi angrily charged out. With a single glance, she caught sight of the grimacing tearful Jinkuang who was hopping on the spot. After suffering such a huge setback, she swiftly forced out a smile and said.
"So it's Mister David, please come in."
Then she instantly flipped her face and pointed towards Sheyan and Mogensha as she commanded.
"You two wait at the door, don't dirty my carpet!"
Sheyan and Mogensha were speechless as they watched Jinkuang haughtily enter Madam Anzi's boudoir – oh no, her workshop. Anzi then slammed the door shut as if she wasn't satisfied. Fortunately, Sheyan's gloomy mood quickly vanished. His reputation skyrocketed at an astonishing speed, from the original 'Friendly' to the 'Respected' level, it soared all the way to the 'Revered' level!
“GOOD！” Sheyan heaved a long sigh of relief. "Seems like it's much better than I imagined. I originally thought I had to complete a few more missions in the base to raise it to 'Revered' level. Who knew Jinkuang would be so useful."
As he spoke, he casually traded 100 utility points to Jinkuang. Jinkuang grinned widely as he praised, "Oh great master, your generosity is as deep as the ocean", before running off to the side to gloat.
At this moment, Sheyan entered Lady Anzi's room, and shared the information of the two items he wanted to purchase with Mogensha.
"I've always advocated planning before acting. Now that it's only the two of us, we have to be extra cautious like treading on thin ice. Therefore, I intend to prioritize purchasing these two items. Take a look, if there aren't any problems, then we'll go find the commander to receive the mission."
Mogensha's pupils contracted as he scanned through the information.
