Chapter 956 Sweeping Li City 1
Chapter 956 Sweeping Li City 1
Ao Shuangtian casually re-entered the lobby of the Mercenaries Pavilion then went up the stairs to the conference room that Riola spoke about. It was pretty easy to access since only Eternals were allowed to come here.
She entered and found the terminal Riola spoke about, then entered the necessary password to takeover. Immediately, a menu appeared before her, dictating her choices for the day.
She could also see and decided all the operations for this Mercenaries Pavilion, and she could also contact headquarters for assistance, clarification or to make a report.
Obviously, Shuangtian chose to ignore this and rather accessed the missions. She let the pavilion function as is, but what she wanted was to build wealth, power and acquire what she needed.
Luckily, just as she thought, there were Eternal level job postings in the Mercenaries Pavilion, but one could only access them from the Eternals meeting room.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of jobs posted here. It wasn't like Shuangtian thought and expected that there would only be a few jobs posted due to the power level of Eternals.
However, her lips twitched when she saw that some missions had been pasted as far back as a 1000 years and some even before that. They were to do big things like exterminate a certain Eternal monster, investigate some forbidden areas where even Eternals could die, excavate some resources that only Eternals could come into contact with and more.
The recent ones were mostly requests for help from beast tides, invasion and the like. These were given the highest priority and were almost practically compulsory to be resolved.
After all, there were many settlements and towns around Li City that it was responsible for. The Adventurers Group and City Hall would also receive these things and dispatch their own people to handle it, but it was also fine to cooperate with other factions and split the rewards.
However, Shuangtian noticed that there were no missions involved within the city. It was likely that City Hall monopolized those and prevented any other faction from interfering in domestic matter, which also made sense.
Shuangtian then chose three missions that were close to each other.
?Kill the Mire Alligator – Assassination Mission
Description: The Mire Alligator has achieved the Eternal Rank and has taken over the Dark Swamp area to the north of Gufun Town. Kill it before it reaches the Elite Rank!
Payment: 300,000,000 Contribution Points.?
?Exterminate the Dire Wolf Pack – Extermination Mission
Description: The Dire Wolf pack are a group of Origin beings that when they concentrate their power into their Alpha, can push it to the Pseudo-Eternal rank. Due to their numbers, non-Eternals cannot handle them.
Rewards: 20,000,000 Contribution Points. ?
?The Ancient Ruins – Search Mission
Description: There are a set of excavated ruins near the Duo Duo Village that are suspected to be long to an ancient Eternal powerhouse who was focused on cultivating precious materials for alchemy. Search those ruins and clear a safe path for harvesters to work.
Note: 40% of the realm's wealth is yours to take while exploring.
Rewards: 100,000,000 Contribution Points.?
Shuangtian glanced at these missions and casually accepted them before leaving. When she exited the Mercenaries Pavilion, she manifested her power to control the Wind and blasted into the air, flying at no less than Mach 10 as she caused a windstorm behind her, not caring how it would affect others.
Meanwhile, every single Eternal in the city shook with fear, feeling the raw power fluctuation. They could only glance into the sky from where they were with sweaty faces, wondering which lord has just passed through and what they were doing out here.
Shuangtian was already halfway towards her first destination as she wantonly burned her energy at max capacity to fly this fast. She decided to head towards the Ancient Realm first because she needed wealth and what she could collect from there would help.
Make no mistake, the remuneration from the Mercenaries Pavilion was definitely exemplary, but the issue was that Contribution Points was an internal currency.
It was like Umbra Points in that it was far more valuable than common currency and could be used to buy or acquire things from the Mercenaries Pavilion that couldn't be bought with money.
While this was great for the average eternal and was something they craved, Shuangtian could not give two fucks. She could not take anything out of this place back to Boundless or earth and she already had infinite power in her Eternal talent/bloodline.
All she had to do was control and excavate it, which the World Will had given her a clear path. Doing anything else would be throughly wasteful and stupid beyond measure.
In fact, the only reason she event cared about money was because the World Will advised her not to be like Draco and Eva and use pure violence, attacking everyone and everything within range unscrupulously.
After all, this plane had an owner and even if other Eternals couldn't exactly beat her to death due to her nonsensical Eternal Power and Eternal Limit, they could certainly make her suffer like a dog.
The Plane Lord could directly suppress here here forever or expel her if he didn't like what she was doing, so it was fine to be a bit arrogant, but best to show respect overall.
Hence, Shuangtian didn't chose to fight with, or attack any city based factions or 'human' factions, rather choosing to focus on Eternal monsters. To a Plane Lord, all citizens were citizens, so Eternal human or Eternal monster didn't matter, but obviously the chaos brought from killing Eternal Monsters was far less than killing an Eternal human.
Contribution Points could be changed into currency, but it was highly inadvisable. Shuangtian obviously wouldn't care about this, but if the headquarters noticed that someone was changing Eternal level mission contribution points for money, they would be speechless and likely want to know why, leading to an investigation.
Shuangtian didn't want to have to kill all of them just to hide something so insignificant.<.com>
She soon arrived above a town that was quite lively. It was far smaller than Li City, but it has its own population and local specialties, but Shuangtian did not land there and only checked her positioning before angling towards the Ancient Realm.
When she arrived, she saw a giant arch that was dilapidated and covered with moss. Beside it was a small platform where one could likely inject energy, so she went up to it and placed her hand on it, channeling some of her bloodline energy within.
Immediately, space cracked within the arch and a purple-blue portal occupied the entire space that soon became clear and displayed the realm on the other side.
Shuangtian left the platform and casually analyzed the portal, She then waved a hand and almost 50 Eternal golems formed before her, all of different elements.
They all rushed into the portal one after another and split up to search and conquer the realm. With them relaying on energy and power provided by Shuangtian - which was unlimited - they should be able to handle anything and everything.
Shuangtian was not like Draco or Eva who were careless nor did she have Space/Time control, so entering a different realm was extremely dangerous for her.
But why bother when she had golems?
As such, Shuangtian simply stood outside while her Frankenstein monsters laid waste to any hostile thing in the realm, beating them to death and collecting their corpses so Shuangtian could sell them for money.
While this was going on, Shuangtian herself began to ponder about her next steps. After gaining some money, it was best to find a suitable place to live and then focus solely on missions.
There was no need to socialize or to befriend anyone. There was no one on this plane she cared about and since it already had a Plane Lord, she likely would not be coming back here ever unless Draco and Eva decided to raid it later.
Shuangtian then thought about the power of Eternals and frowned. In the Fragmented Desert Plane, Draco and Eva faced Eternals, but only up to a certain level.
The Level and Rank of Eternals corresponded to the amount of Eternal Control they had. The World Will had its own name for those Ranks while the locals of this plane had also created their own name for it.
0-10 Eternal Control was the 'Weak' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 1 according to the Plane.
11-20 Eternal Control was the 'Normal' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 2 according to the Plane.
21-30 Eternal Control was the 'Elite' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 3 according to the Plane.
31-40 Eternal Control was the 'Adept' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 4 according to the Plane.
41-50 Eternal Control was the 'Expert' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 5 according to the Plane.
51-60 Eternal Control was the 'Lord' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 6 according to the Plane.
61-70 Eternal Control was the 'Emperor' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 7 according to the Plane.
71-80 Eternal Control was the 'Master' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 8 according to the Plane.
81-90 Eternal Control was the 'Grandmaster' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 9 according to the Plane.
91-100 Eternal Control was the 'Perfected' Rank according to the World Will or Rank 10 according to the Plane.
Shuangtian guessed that this plane should have people up to the Master or Grandmaster realm. After all, even in the Eternal World, Eternals were not like cabbages, and majority were in the Weak rank.
The Plane Lord would likely be in the Grandmaster realm, which was a level where Shuangtian could not even hope to think of beginning to fight back.
She sighed and then decided to be more careful about things. While she was still in thought, she received a report from one of her golems that they had found the core of the secret realm.
There was a corpse there and message about an inheritor, fated successor, blah blah. Shuangtian did not care nor did she touch such things, but had the golems relay what they found to her.
After measuring the wealth of the realm, she clinically had them sweep away exactly 40% of things, choosing the less valuable bits in order to not offend whoever posted the mission.
The golems collected them and brought them to her. Shuangtian sighed as she gazed at the loads of goods and lamented that she really needed a power similar to Draco and Eva, because where the fuck was she supposed to put all this crap?!
She could only helplessly close the realm that was now safe and head to that nearby town she didn't care for. When the town guards aw a group of powerful golems releasing Eternal fluctuations coming, they directly sounded the alarm and shat their pants in fear.
Shuangtian was helpless about this, and she stopped outside to inform them to open the damn gates and grow a pair of balls. The Town Mayor then rushed over to intercept her, him being a mere Origin being, acting as if he was willing to die to defend those behind him.
When Shuangtian showed her token as part of the Mercenaries Pavilion, the felt felt relieved and allowed her in. As for the Golems, they could cause a mass panic, so he directly gave Shuangtian many vehicles that could carry the goods back to Li City.
He didn't even provide a place for Shuangtian to rest, nor did he ask her to sell her obviously valuable goods within the town or to him. So he simply rushed her on her way, because an Eternal around her could lead to untold consequences.
