Chapter 446: Information Extraction
Chapter 446: Information Extraction
Yongan Shelter, Municipal Office Building.
Cui Xinsheng paced back and forth, sometimes leaning against the window, with a cigarette in his mouth, spewing clouds of fog.
He hoarded heavy troops at the nearest outpost to the “White Tree Height” the other day. He could only wait for the mercenaries to investigate and be able to come up with results.
A sharp knock on the door sounded, and Cui Xinsheng returned to his seat, rubbing his face to restore his calm and majesty.
“Come in.” He said indifferently.
The door of the room was pushed open, and the personal male secretary came in excitedly, “The mercenaries who scouted the enemy situation in White Tree Heights’, have returned!”
“Oh?“
Cui Xinsheng held down his inner eagerness and calmly asked, “What is the result of the scouting? The number of enemies, strength, and the origin of …… these three aspects, if the information given is not enough, the rewards will also be cut.”
The “Adventurer’s Guild” has a complete set of the commission release process.
The client provided the reward, but the commission’s difficulty needed to be rated by the “Adventurers’ Guild”. The higher the difficulty, the more the client needs to pay for the reward.
A three-star commission, the reward was at least equivalent to 500 units of source crystals, not capped …… that is, the commissioner needs to pay at least 500 source crystals, but you could increase the pay yourself to attract more powerful adventurers to take the commission.
In the high star mission, the commissioner must also provide rare items in addition to source crystals. These items were often discounted to source crystals and rewarded to the adventurer - the guild could easily assign adventurers to gather rare materials. Then in return, the adventurers will be given a source crystal for their rewards, which could be exchanged with equipment or daily necessities.
For the commission of “White Tree Heights”, Cui Xinsheng put in a lot of money, providing materials and source crystals, discounted by at least 100,000 source crystals, among which materials like high purity source crystals are priceless.
For this reason, the commission was put up only a short while ago, and the slots for the mission were filled in no time.
However, Cui Xinsheng did not expect a few dozen mercenaries to fully achieve the mission’s goal …… at least there should be several casualties on their side, and the hunters should be able to fill the gap.
When the time is ripe, and the strength of the enemy is clear, he could gather the Ancestral Dragon Army and completely eliminate that group of Sakura Kingdom’s Hunters.
After he pondered for a while, Cui Xinsheng looked at the secretary with a smile. No matter what result he heard, he would not be surprised.
Influenced by his director’s calmness, the male secretary also gradually calmed down his excitement. After a pause, he said, “The results of the battle are remarkable! According to them, the number of hunters left in the “White Tree Heights” should be at least a thousand. A third of hunters are above the sixth level and more than thirty ninth-level experts, and it is suspected that among them, there is peak level hunter who has broken through the bottleneck and reached the tenth level.
Not only that, those adventurers speculate that the number of hunters in the Sakura Kingdom should be, even more, they are not organizations formed after being stranded in the Daxia Kingdom. More likely, they are from the island of the nine domes.”
Cui Xinsheng was a little confused. He flicked his thoughts.
‘The enemy is so strong.’
‘How did dozens of mercenaries survive the battle and only lose a third of their original number?!’
He saw the secretary hesitated for a moment and continued, “Also, they said… said that they had wiped out at least three hundred Sakura Kingdom Hunters, not only had they completed the ‘scouting the enemy’ mission, but they had also exceeded the ‘wiping out the enemy’ mission, and… asked for additional rewards.”
Inside the office, a dead silence fell.
The secretary waited for a long time and finally raised his head to see Cui Xinsheng, whose mouth was slightly open.
……
Tree Shade Shelter.
The first checkpoint for the back-to-city scroll.
A magnificent ten-meter tall boulder stood in the center of the return point, and every once in a while, along with a white flash of light, a hunter appeared out of nowhere.
The return back-to-city scroll has already appeared in the “Adventurer’s Guild” exchange list. Although it was still expensive for five-star and six-star adventurers, it was still affordable for them.
For most people, this kind of life-saving props, as long as they could afford it, was a must-have. Some people even relied on the back-to-city scroll to go deep into the dungeons and treacherous underground tunnels in search of heavenly treasures.
A flash of light shone in front of the magnificent boulder. The miserable appearance of Xiao Qingsheng and Liu Tianming, both of them, then appeared.
“Go back! We need to retreat!”
Even after being transported to the city, they were still in a state of panic after their reconnaissance mission. Then they realized that the scenery around them had changed. The endless enemy has disappeared, replaced by a forest of black arrow towers, fire-red giant cannon, and a white mage tower.
The return point was surrounded by all kinds of defensive mechanisms.
Only then did they breathe a long sigh of relief.
Stepping away, they walked towards the first hospital of Tree Shade, seeking treatment …… cheaper than relying on potions.
Half an hour later.
Two people came out of the hospital, in addition to combat clothes stained with blood, a wretched look. There were no longer any wounds, only fatigue.
“…… those huge ships, is what the Sakura country’s hunters rely on for their sea voyage, right?”
“Blazing Raven Warlock,” Liu Tianming frowned, “the warriors of the Sakura Kingdom are powerful, especially the one who appeared at the end……”
Under their reconnaissance, they saw more Sakura Kingdom hunters from afar, and the strength of the Yongan shelter alone might not be able to solve this problem…… the huge ship was obviously an artifact, they were a big discovery, this was truly valuable information, yet they still felt unease from the overwhelming difference in power.
“How about ……”
“How about ……”
The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time, “Tell the General Administration directly that the information is not within the scope of the “White Tree Heights” commission so we can get both the reward from the “White Tree Heights” reconnaissance mission and the reward from providing the valuable information about the Sakura Kingdom, with the generosity of the shelter the pay given, must be much higher, it can also leave a good impression in the eyes of the executives.”
“Not to mention that we all returned to the Tree Shade, this is the choice of fate -“
……
The castle.
Tang Yu seemed to be in deep thought, “I wonder If I can breed a wood Spirit……”
Then shook his head again.
‘The lifecycle of the spirits from start to finish took hundreds of years.’
‘Even if the castle garden was nourished by the source gas, the possibility of breeding spirits was indeed high, but it took too much time…’
Shaking his head, he extinguished the unreliable idea.
“Using the back of the castle as a carrier, the spirit deity has been successfully abducted…transferred over, and according to it, the speed of power recovery is much faster than when it was in Kong’An Mountain.”
Tang Yu pondered, behind the castle was a few stretches of a mountain, but not big and did not even have a name …… from the historical heritage, this tiny mountain and Kong’An was beyond comparison. Still, the fact that this mountain could become the new home for the spirit was probably because of the territory.
There was a large part of the back of the mountain that has been covered by the territory range, that should be the reason.
Today, the territory was full of talented individuals.
These days, with the joint efforts of many language scholars, most of the information found from the “Station” has been deciphered - some of the texts have a runic language to compare, making the deciphering process simple, and soon there were experts to speculate the history of the Third Age from the perspective of the text.
Among the loot Tang Yu searched, he could finally read some formulas written in the Third Age’s common language. He picked and chose among the piles of information.
Nowadays, the formulas that could not work on Transcendence were no longer in Tang Yu’s eyes, and the formulas that ended up on the table were few, only two.
— “Dragon’s Grip” and “Swift Tooth”.
They were also very simple, a short period of time to enhance the user’s strength and speed, but for existence such as a transcendent, any small enhancements was not easy to maintain, not to mention the two potions to enhance the magnitude, was not small, using it in combat could play a significant role.
From the information deciphered, Tang Yu learned about many herbs and minerals that he had never even heard of.
The “Ghost Grass”: directly swallowing it could improve the affinity of space attributes and can be made into a potion… but unfortunately, he did not find the recipe.
The “alien plant wood heart”: can significantly improve body activity, increase body strength, and even regenerate several limbs.
The “laurel”: a substantial increase in spiritual power, could treat many spirit-related diseases.
All kinds of treasures, and Tang Yu looked at it with greed.
However, he had never heard of them!
He could only guess that the earth was only in the recovery stage of the source of energy. All the above herbs with magical effects have not yet grown!
“Perhaps, they exist in the mirage mountain range, but the nightmare puppet couldn’t use the “eye of insight”, even if I remember the shape of these herbs, it would be difficult to find unless I personally go to the mirage mountain range ……”
After thinking about it, Tang Yu decided to comply with his heart’s wishes and not go.
If he wanted to go, he had to wait until he broke through to become a Transcendent Mortal.
……
He organized the information from the “Station” and put it into the castle’s library in different categories.
Tang Yu also asked someone to recreate some of the more worn-out books, and he even recorded them all into the Institute’s database to prevent them from being lost.
Tang Yu returned to his daily life and began to cultivate from the early hours of the morning. He cultivated for ten hours this time and felt that the source qi he absorbed had reached saturation. His cultivation efficiency had dropped significantly before Tang Yu stopped his cultivation for the day.
The “Eye of Insight” swept his cultivation progress, 43.93% of the 13th stage, close to half, closer and closer to Transcendence.
The cyclone was completely liquefied and formed a sea of qi. It would greatly impact his effort to reach transcendent.
Liquefied source power seeped into his body, interweaving with his organs and blood vessels.
It was the period of the significant increase in strength, the gap between the strength of the first 13th level and the peak 13th.
Simply put, Tang Yu has become a lot stronger.
It took a lot of effort to hold back his desire to try out his new power and destroy something.
