Volume 3: Tide of Gray Mist Chapter 52: We Didn’t Lose, We Gained
The ground was grey, with a few dilapidated small buildings standing there, and some vegetation growing in front of the buildings, most of which had withered. In the distance, there was a thick grey fog that was like a towering city wall, slowly drifting.
Medesa opened her eyes dazedly, feeling a little dizzy. She narrowed her eyes slightly and instinctively raised her hand to cover her forehead.
The next second his eyes widened.
"bright!"
"It's the sun!"
Medesa felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden change from the dim and gloomy gray fog to the sunshine, so she raised her head. The sun could not be seen in the sky here, but there were rays of warm beams shining down from the sky.
It shone on her cheeks, making her feel warm, and it seemed as if the life energy in her body was recovering faster.
She was stunned for a while.
The previous scenes gradually flooded into his mind: the crazy cultists, the ferocious evil spirits that pounced on him, and the man in dark red armor holding a broadsword!
That must be an awakened being in the inhuman realm!
A scary guy who believes in the Scarlet Moon!
But wait, they seem to have escaped?
Medesa saw that Polly, Anna, and Cen Jing were also lying on the ground, some in the prone position with their chins on the ground, some in the supine position with their buttocks on the ground, and some in the 69 position with two people hugging each other.
Only Shi Yunxi, the strongest person on Blue Star , did not fall down. She half-squatted and supported herself with one hand to keep her balance.
As expected of someone who is at the top of the world, she is more elegant than me.
Next to them stood a huge stone tablet more than two meters high, with flames and sharp blades carved on it. It seemed to be the gate here. Looking inside, they could see some watchtowers with people standing guard on them, and people walking around could be vaguely seen in the distance.
This is a campsite.
There was no doubt that they had returned and had really escaped.
With the azure light just now.
She turned her head and looked at Shi Yunxi in surprise and asked, "Is that some kind of teleportation artifact? You actually have such a treasure?!"
It's not like Madison hasn't seen this before.
There are many kinds of teleportation treasures. For example, she "landed" from the City of Sword Flowers to the outside world by relying on special teleportation facilities. Hers was a ritual teleportation type. In addition, there are also trick weapon teleportation types and instant teleportation types.
The teleporting light just now was undoubtedly the latter.
It is a precious life-saving item.
They might have it in the City of Sword Flowers, but that is not something she can possess.
After hearing what Mei Disha said, Shi Yunxi also came back to his senses from his first teleportation experience and nodded slightly, "It's a one-time teleportation artifact, and it's very valuable."
She also showed a look of pain.
He continued to say to Metissa, "This is the camp of our organization, but Miss Metissa, you have a special status, so please wait here for a moment and don't move around to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"I understand that. We from Jianhua City came here for the purpose of cooperation."
Metissa spoke.
They are originally forces of order, and they "land" on the bordering world in order to seek cooperation with local forces and seek resources.
Based on the assessment of the current world forces, their Sword Flower City also has a variety of cooperation modes.
In Medesa's view, the Blue Star World is an emerging force with great potential and is very worthy of cooperation.
First, strong strength.
The battle was fierce just now, but because of this, Medesa saw the true strength of Anna and the other three. They were all very strong, especially the captain Shi Yunxi, who had an extremely sophisticated ability to control water. In addition to water flow, Shi Yunxi also had the ability to freeze. Medesa couldn't understand what her awakened ability was.
But she could see that Shi Yunxi's fighting ability was not inferior to hers.
No, maybe even stronger than her.
She is a little bit stronger than her, an elite from the Sword Flower City who was born in Rose Academy, received systematic inheritance and training, and immersed in the Third Awakening for several years!
This is incredible.
Medesa could only marvel that when the world was on the verge of destruction, a hero would indeed emerge, and Shi Yunxi was the destined daughter of the Blue Star world.
A natural beauty.
Moreover, she is stronger than the destined heroes of most worlds. Among the "world pioneers" recorded in the City of Sword Flowers, Miss Shi Yunxi's combat power ranks among the best.
The second is wealth.
Along the way, she saw the team collecting many mysterious materials, and also saw the awakened weapons and protective gear on Polly and others.
This represents the level of technology and also the level of wealth.
What kind of partners do these Oasis forces want the most? Of course, a wealthy partner.
The third is the perception.
Having just fought side by side with Shi Yunxi and others and being saved by them once again, Medesa's impression of the forces of Blue Star has skyrocketed.
This is a very promising force.
It would be even better if they could support this force to become an ally of their Sword Flower City.
Thinking of this, Metissa felt that she had to throw out some bait. "Our Sword Flower City is a large oasis force that has been established for more than 170 years. We know many secrets of the strange world and have mastered many secrets above the three awakenings."
"As long as you Blue Star cooperate with us, you can save a lot of time on detours, become stronger faster, and establish a true Oasis force."
“This is a win-win cooperation!”
She looked into Shi Yunxi's eyes with seriousness.
Shi Yunxi could feel the fiery heat in his eyes. She could only laugh dryly and thought for a moment, "I can ask the instructor for you about this matter."
"Please?"
These two words surprised Metissa.
The implication behind this is too great. Could it be that Shi Yunxi is not the leader of the Blue Star forces?
She was surprised and delighted. The evaluation of the Blue Star forces in her mind rose sharply.
Coming back to her senses, she said, "I see... I'll leave this matter to you."
"I would have reported this to the higher-ups, as well as the fact that we were attacked by the minions of the evil god."
Speaking of this, Shi Yunxi also showed some worry on his face.
She looked at Anna and the others and said, "You stay here to accompany the guests. I will go back to report the situation and hand over the task."
Polly and the other two nodded.
At this time, hearing the word "mission", Pearly suddenly jumped up from the ground as if a mechanism had been triggered, "Mission, our teleportation rune...?"
She looked towards Shi Yunxi with hope on her face.
However, the reality was like a bolt from the blue.
"It has been used. It is a one-time treasure. You must also replace it with this rune stone when you hand in the task."
Boom——
Polly's face turned pale in an instant.
She clearly remembered that the unit price of the "Teleportation Rune Stone" was as high as 500 contribution points! If there were no accidents during the round trip, and the Rune Stone was not used, she would only need to pay a rental fee of 10 contribution points, but they used it!
Escaping death was something worth celebrating, but when Polly her head began to spin.
Even if the debt was borne by four people together, each person would have to bear 125 contribution points, which was more than her total debt before.
Debt is a mountain that makes Polly breathless. Her petite body is shaky and she seems unable to stand.
Medesa, who had mastered the ability of "language proficiency", understood the general meaning.
The teleportation treasure was not theirs, they just borrowed it out in case of emergency, but they didn't expect to actually use it.
A huge debt was incurred for this.
She could understand and sympathize, and just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw Polly looking at her.
I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"The teleportation rune was used on the five of us. I think the cost should be paid by the five of us together. What do you think, Miss Meitya?"
What Miss Polly said makes sense.
Thinking about the fact that Polly and the others must have very high status, starting with them can effectively promote cooperation. And cooperating with a new force with great potential will bring endless benefits.
This investment is definitely worth it!
Thinking of this, Metissa smiled and said, "This is what I should pay. Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you guys for saving me yet."
As she spoke, she took a step back, put her hand on her chest, and bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
Then she took out mysterious materials one by one from her backpack - she was not like Shi Yunxi and the others, who could pick up a material after walking a few steps, but she also walked in the shallow layer of the strange world for most of the day.
Even if you have nothing in your hands when you land, you can still take out some valuables now.
There was no need to mortgage the clothes on her body - that was impossible, as clothes were her life. The most she could do was to owe them first, and then use the information to offset the debt when cooperation came.
"Is this enough? If not, I'll just have to owe you money for now."
When Polly saw these mysterious materials, her eyes suddenly turned into $^$ shapes. She moved forward and looked at them for a long time.
Serious, silent, and dull.
Emmmmm, she looked at Anna for help.
Anna took a few glances and said, "This is green copper ore, one unit is worth 6 to 8 contributions; this is red blood grass, worth 9 to 10 contributions; this is water drop stone, worth 60 contributions..."
Anna knows them all.
Not to mention Polly who was looking at her with admiration, even Medesa's eyes were full of surprise.
The value of these items is undoubtedly sufficient.
Shi Yunxi packed up the things and took them away, while Pearly and the others watched (crossed out) entertain Medissa.
After waiting for a while,
“Ding Dong~”
A prompt sound rang in the minds of both Pearly and Cen Jing.
They looked at it calmly.
The task has been settled and the reward has been sent to the team account.
[Submit some mysterious materials: get a total of 286 contribution points.]
[Submit the task material "Gap Stone": a total of 900 contribution points are obtained.]
Polly's eyes widened.
[Sudden mission "Attack by the evil god's minions", submit intelligence: a total of 400 contribution points.]
[Special mission "Visitors from afar" triggered: a total of 100 contribution points are obtained.]
[Tip: After deducting the cost of "Detection Radar" and the deduction of "Teleportation Rune", the team received a total of 1064 contribution points.]
Big numbers come to mind.
Polly's eyes opened wider, with light shining in them. Her legs were no longer weak and her head was no longer dizzy.
Not only did they not lose money, they made money, a lot of money!
Woohoo, praise the mentor!
At this time,
Another instant task popped up in her mind.
〔bite!〕
[Mission "Friendly Exchange": entertain our guests (can be outside the camp) and find out information about them. The reward depends on the level of intelligence obtained.]
