Sheyan muttered for a moment before replying.
"Is her first request related to the coordinates of Hell's Gate? Her second request is for us to lead a team to investigate the previously shot down RAD's flying ship? "
Reef paused for a moment before replying.
"Yes, she is asking for 30,000 utility points for the coordinates of Hell's Gate. But if we are willing to lead a team to search for that flying ship, it will be free."
Without hesitation, Sheyan replied.
"Reject all of them. If there are many missions for Hell's Gate, then she will definitely beg for us to go. Currently, the Illume-union is in dire straits, if they have an additional MT and a powerful support like me, then the efficiency of the Illume-union will be much higher. "
"As for the matter of leading a team to search for the flying ship ….. that is a chicken rib mission! With such an obvious clue, I'm afraid every contestant's eyes will be fixated on it. Even if we can reap some benefits, we might offend everyone else. We have to consider this from Zi's point of view as the party leader. Her shoulders are burdened with the benefits of dozens of contestants, while we are only 3! Even if both sides suffer losses, we will still profit more! "
Reef sighed. At this moment, he clearly understood that he wasn't suited to be a party leader.
"….. ok, I reject. The situation has reached a deadlock."
Sheyan continued.
"Then we will draw lots to determine the time period for us to guard the ship's core engine ….. have you heard of the phrase 'seek common ground while reserving differences'? Since we can't reach a consensus on many matters, then we will first settle matters that have already been agreed upon. That will also ease the awkward atmosphere. Incidentally, Zi's weakness seems to be her unwillingness to admit defeat. I extorted 20,000 utility points from her when we signed the 3 day mutual non-harm contract, and she wants to extort 30,000 utility points in return. "
"After I suggested the draw lots, the atmosphere eased up. We will be on the flight from 22 pm to 25 pm ….. what should we do now?" Reef asked.
Sheyan muttered for a moment before replying.
"Our current strength is rather weak. Ok, the contestants who are still alive should be of decent quality. We can try recruiting some temporary members. Also, I believe that this Valkyrie will definitely have a map of the regions that humans have explored. Although this map is very likely to have fallen into the hands of the Illume-union, we can't rule out the possibility of others obtaining it. If there are any clues, please inform me. "
At this time, after the battle ended, there were only about 70 contestants left out of the 400 contestants who entered the Realm Battlefield. Of course, among the 300 plus contestants, there were about 100 who died in battle, and the rest should have been forcefully teleported away. The Illume-union had a total of about 25 people remaining. They were the group with the most people remaining. Under such circumstances, at least 5-6 of the remaining contestants would be lured away. If they were to include the rest of the recruitment parties, the number of people left for them to convince was probably less than ten.
But for Sheyan, if his plan went smoothly, he wouldn't lack manpower in this world for the time being. However, since the team had already been established, they naturally had to prepare for a rainy day. If there were new blood that was worth nurturing and roping in, they could also consider including these potential stocks in advance.
*****
At this moment, the contestants who had basically confirmed that the beast horde had retreated started to congregate in twos and threes, as they discussed their future plans. In actual fact, Sheyan wasn't the only one with an astute mind and strong luck. For example, there were several contestants who possessed brand new 'AMP suit' systems, and were proudly carrying their massive weapons as they strolled around the ship. Naturally, this bunch of brats would definitely become the core of the team. Moreover, according to Mogensha's intelligence, a total of 4 resurrection devices had already been purchased!
Very quickly, at least a team of 30 people set off. The Illume-union occupied half of the scouting team, and their destination was shockingly the crash site of the RDA member about 5-6 kilometres away. The significance of this trip was extremely important to the Illume-union. Firstly, it was to plunder the immense wealth of the crash site.
Secondly, if there were any RDA members who survived, then they must be …. silenced! If not, once the survivors informed their superiors of this incident, then the Illume-union's grasp of the coordinates of Hell's Gate would shockingly depreciate into a worthless piece of paper!
At this moment, Sheyan's gaze suddenly shifted to the right. There were two individuals walking over together, and Sheyan recognized them. They were the contestant with extremely powerful scouting abilities – Uzel, and the dual dagger agility specialist Lille. When the two of them arrived before Sheyan, Uzel instead smiled and greeted.
"Hello Seaman, I've come here to discuss some matters with you."
Sheyan nodded and replied.
"Please speak."
Uzel stared into Sheyan's eyes and sincerely continued.
"After fighting side by side for the past few days, Lille and I both feel that you're an extremely formidable individual. As for Reef, needless to say, you're a rare MT. Therefore, Lille and I are willing to ….."
*****
Probably due to Lille's impatient nature, he continued. "Lille and I are willing to be your referees, to join our Banks Syndicate!"
Honestly speaking, Sheyan's heart was filled with anticipation as he listened to the two of them singing the same tune. Initially, his heart was filled with a domineering aura, as though a hero would flock to him from all directions. However, after hearing Lille's words of superiority, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, he had already gotten used to concealing his inner thoughts, and purposely sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Banks Syndicate? Then you guys ….. "
Uzel smirked and replied.
"That's right, Lille and I are Reserve-duty Growth-Hunters! Of course we have the qualifications to recommend you guys into our formidable party! "
Sheyan glanced at them, neither servile nor overbearing as he replied.
"Although the Banks Syndicate is formidable, but no matter how formidable a party is, a Reserve-duty party member will always be exploited! As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. You guys might not be able to compare to me and Reef forming a party and slowly developing. "
Lille hurriedly replied.
"With our recommendation, your Reserve-duty period will only be one world, after which you can enjoy the treatment of an official party member. Isn't that good? "
Sheyan smiled and shook his head.
"To an ordinary contestant, that's already good enough! But to my Reef, it's not enough. If you two have anything to say, just say it. "
Uzel's expression changed slightly. Sheyan was a rare support-type contestant, while Reef was an even rarer MT. Both of them were rare talents in the realm. Furthermore, although Seaman's attack power wasn't high, his ability to see the bigger picture was extremely astute. Obviously, he was a character that wouldn't act unless he saw a rabbit. It was probably impossible to convince him with such a vague reason. Thus, he earnestly replied.
"Since Seaman is so direct, I'll be frank too. Currently, we need to obtain the 'Plunderer', 'Penetrator' and 'Headhunter' milestones in this world. We need your help. "
Sheyan suspiciously asked.
"Headhunter? What's that? "
Lille replied.
"Obtain 5 Na'vi longbows. Under normal circumstances, you can understand it as killing them will result in a chance of dropping a longbow."
Sheyan pondered a little before asking.
"Why do you need so many titles?"
Uzel chuckled and replied.
"We've all braved through fire and water together, I won't hide anything. Although the titles derived from these three milestones aren't top notch, they will be of great use during title synthesis."
Lille's eyes flashed with an ominous glint, his face gloomy as he continued.
"Since you guys aren't willing to join our Banks Syndicate, then we can hire you two. Your remuneration will be 5000 utility points."
Hearing the 'high price' of 5000 utility points, Sheyan's left eyebrow twitched like a blade. His expression remained unchanged as he swiftly searched for the relevant information.
Plunderer's requirement is to obtain 1000 units of Pandora's Superconducting Crystals (Crystal purity cannot be lower than 16.8%).
Penetrator's requirement is to obtain 10 Direhorse's horns.
Even with the addition of the Headhunter, the entire mission wasn't considered too difficult. But from the looks of it, Lille and Uzel weren't planning to utilize their Growth-hunter prowess. Besides, they only had 4 chances to utilize that prowess.
Moreover, Uzel's conditions, was obviously trying to take advantage of Sheyan and Lille!
Sheyan muttered for a moment before replying.
"To complete these milestones, we need detailed information. For example, where can we find Pandora's Superconducting Crystals? Direhorses are the mounts of the Na'vi race, they definitely have their own habits."
Lille gently replied.
"We've already gathered all these information."
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. My conditions are simple – 20,000 utility points, 5 potential points, and hand over all relevant information you've gathered. Furthermore, all spoils of war obtained during the title completion process will be ours. Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss."
Lille's eyes flashed with an ominous glint, as he chuckled.
"You're asking for an exorbitant lion, aren't you afraid your stomach will burst?"
Sheyan's lips curled slightly, as he stood up and patted his chest.
"Goodbye, or perhaps I'll offer a free suggestion. You can look for Archeaphill of the Illume-union, or perhaps some other party's MT, and see if he's willing to help you guys."
