Chapter 706 - Disaster Treasure Chest
White River City, Divine Colosseum:
Ever since they had discovered that the Flower of Seven Sins targeted Zero Wing, Aqua Rose and the Guild’s upper echelons had holed up inside the Divine Colosseum. They continuously expended Magic Crystals and Hundred Berry Wine in the Trial Tower and Divine Battlefield to train as much as possible.
As a result, Zero Wing’s upper echelons broke their previous records in the Trial Tower again and again, shocking White River City’s players. Awe towards Zero Wing swept through the city once again.
Meanwhile, inside the Divine Colosseum, a bald man in gray leather armor stared at the Trial List while sipping Vodka.
Suddenly, a thin, cloaked youth walked up and sat down beside this bald man.
“Accurate Nine, what’s the situation regarding Zero Wing’s upper echelons?” the thin youth sent a whisper to the bald man as he ordered an Ice-Blue Spirit.
“Their strength has been improving rapidly. Currently, three people have reached the eighth floor. Seven people have reached the seventh floor. My guess is that it won’t be very long before the others reach the seventh floor as well. It would not be easy to kill all of them back to Level 0,” the bald man, Accurate Nine, responded, laughing. “However, the stronger they are, the better. This way, we can charge more for the job.”
Nodding, the thin youth said, “Indeed. I just wonder whether or not Open Source Corporation will be willing to pay the price.”
“I think they will,” Accurate Nine said as he handed the NPC bartender another Magic Crystal, purchasing another bottle of Vodka. “Magic Crystals are the lifeline of all of God’s Domain’s players. If OSC obtains the Stoneclaw Mountains, their future earnings will far surpass the cost of hiring us.”
“Let’s hope that OSC is willing to pay this price, then. It’s been a long time since I’ve accepted a major job. Zero Wing should prove to be quite the challenge. I can also use this chance to polish my skills a little bit,” the youth said. Downing the Ice-Blue Spirit, he shifted his gaze to the three names listed on the Trial List’s eighth floor. “Huh? Where’s Black Flame’s name?”
“Black Flame has always been mysterious. Even now, I have yet to discover the exact extent of this person’s strength. However, based on the information I’ve collected thus far, he should have progressed relatively far in the Refinement Realm. He might have even reached your standard,” Accurate Nine said seriously as he sent a sideway glance at the thin youth beside him.
“My standard? The second stage of the Refinement Realm? That’s interesting. I look forward to taking him on,” the youth said, a hint of excitement shining in his eyes. He looked like a predator that had just caught the scent of new prey.
“Pleiades, don’t even think about it. Silver has already reserved Black Flame. At most, you can pick your target from the Trial Tower’s eighth floor,” Accurate Nine said, smiling as he pointed to Violet Cloud’s, Fire Dance’s, and Aqua Rose’s names.
“Silver? Why is he suddenly interested in this mission?” the youth named Pleiades said, slightly surprised. “Hasn’t he always targeted those old monsters?”
“How should I know what’s going through his mind?” Accurate Nine said, shrugging. “However, OSC has lucked out this time. Normally, an expert of Silver’s standards would not even consider this type of mission. Now, it’s just a matter of whether OSC will pay to hire Silver.”
“This fella named Black Flame really is unlucky. He has actually caught Silver’s attention. Not even heaven can save him,” Pleiades said sympathetically.
