BXBX NOVEL Chapter 233 Selecting A Mission
William saw the rewards growing from ten thousand crystals to thirty, then fifty, seventy, and then the highest reward in all the missions, lying at the bottom end of this list, giving any team doing this crazy mission one hundred thousand crystals as the grand prize.
"Locate and lead other teams to take down an entire base of the dark spirit masters… Basic reward: One hundred thousand spirit crystals. More bonus rewards will be given according to the individual merits in this battle… What a damn filthy rich this dude is!"
It was obvious that the number of rewards given after achieving such a goal was going to be in millions! Or even tens of millions of spirit crystals!
This was a wealth that only a handful few in the entire world would have… William\'s thoughts drifted towards the academy\'s headmasters, the Scorching Lands leader, other zones\' leaders, and even to the royal family members in the capital.
"To do so, one had to first climb up the ranks… Doing other missions before this…" William got the hidden hint behind what wasn\'t written in the scroll.
The ones going to do this task must have the privilege to lead other teams in the region. And without the need to think of it, the previous missions gave such privilege in their reward list.
"It\'s too early to even think about it," William shifted his eyes away from this crazy mission and returned to think about which goal he\'d better select from all this.
William wanted to achieve such a goal one day, but it wasn\'t yet time for him to appear at such a higher stage.
"I can start working on spotting the dark spirit master teams\' location, gathering intel about their activities and abilities…" William started to think the same way as the one who issued this mission.
He planned to grab an empty piece of paper and start drawing his own map of the dark spirit master activities and movements in the Scorching Lands region.
As for knowing what the dark spirit masters\' techniques and spirit power were, he knew how to achieve such a thing. He got tons of knowledge about such a thing, and he needed only to spot any dark spirit master in a fight to determine everything about him and his clan.
"Trying to spy on these hideous, and pretty much experienced at hiding, bunch of bastards isn\'t going to work using the normal methods…" William knew that leaning towards the commonly known approaches in doing this kind of missions wasn\'t going to work.
The right way to do such a thing was by actively seeking the dark spirit masters, even to the extent of luring them out, then fighting them directly, while using little tricks of his.
Doing so would hit many birds with one stone. William would train his team over fighting those despicable traitors, better assess his newly formed team performance and test their loyalty and stance against dark spirit masters.
At the same time, he\'d end up fulfilling many missions as well, which would pay him lots of crystals and gain much reputation to his newly formed team. Not to mention raising the mission ranking of his team up.
The more William thought about it, the more eager he wanted to do it.
"Senior, I want to do it," William returned back to the window, standing in front of the same elder. The window was already empty, and William extended the scroll, intending to return it back to the master in front of him.
"Keep it, tsk!" the elder didn\'t like his decision, "you have to pay one hundred spirit crystals first… I need the name of your team, or your name at least to register this mission under."
"Here," William stored the scroll, took out one hundred crystals and left them in a tray that extended from the window. "Register it under my name, William."
"Fine," the elder seemed to struggle to keep his mouth shut, but he failed to do so in the end, "did you read the scroll? Did you read what\'s written at the top?"
"I did," William nodded, realising that his early guess was correct. These lines were added by the masters working here, not by the one who issued this mission, "by the way, who is the one who issued this mission? His name isn\'t mentioned in the scroll."
"He preferred to keep his identity secret," the elder\'s face didn\'t look that good. He didn\'t like seeing the academy kids throwing away their lives in such a meaningless way, "here, this is the token representing the mission. Once done, or if you got another thought about this entire thing, go to any Mercenary department here or anywhere else and either deliver the mission goals or return the token to drop the mission off your name. Yet remember, the one hundred spirit crystals aren\'t refundable!"
"Thanks senior," William knew this elder was just doing all this out of his pure and kind heart, "I will try my best."
"I\'ll pray for your safe return," the elder didn\'t say anything about praying for his success in doing this mission. William left the building while examining the token he got.
It looked like a simple octagonal shaped flat token that was the size of his fist. It was white in colour, with a face of a snake head getting stabbed by a sword on one side, and a weird symbol of many shooting stars on the other surface.
Other than this, William didn\'t feel anything special at all about this token.
