Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 397
Chapter 397: Completion of “A Hundred Vying Barges” Quest
Those treasures were mostly very famous in history.
According to the information in Ji Ye’s head, some of them were even Legendary, and only the settlement that first became Transcendent in the “Strive for the Best” quest could choose them at this moment.
It was because only the first advancing settlement could’ve run into so many villains and gathered enough power of providence from them.
[“Your settlement has become Transcendent ahead of the competitive settlements. It will be the destination of ‘A Hundred Vying Barges’!”]
After all the villains were dismembered into yellow power of providence and gathered in the Temple of Providence on the Twin Dragon Island, all the members of the Twin Dragon Island learned another two pieces of information!
[“Your settlement has completed the quest ‘A Hundred Vying Barges’!”]
It was within most people’s expectation that the settlement would become Transcendent, but those two pieces of information were rather surprising.
“What’s the meaning of this? The ‘A Hundred Vying Barges’ quest has been completed too?”
“Aren’t there two requirements for the quest? Firstly, our settlement has to become Transcendent, and secondly, our settlement must reach the destination. Why is it over already?”
The players of the Twin Dragon Island, who were too tired from the battle to rise from the ground, all sat up with confusion on their faces.
“It seems that the first settlement to become Transcendent would be the destination in this round. We are the destination. So, we’ve met both of the requirements and completed the quest.”
“That’s indeed surprising…”
Some other players who were more astute remarked in surprise.
“The first settlement to become Transcendent does have advantages!”
“As I said, there’s ‘Vying’ in ‘A Hundred Vying Barges’, so ‘time’ must be very important…”
Hao Dahai, who had always believed that they should be fast and who was lying on the ground due to massive loss of blood in the battle earlier, was quite excited upon learning that his guess was correct.
“It remains unknown whether it’s an advantage or disadvantage for us!”
Guo Wei, however, shook his head. He was deep in thought.
As the destination of “A Hundred Vying Barges”, it meant that all the enemies, aliens, villains, and monsters would gather into a real continent with the Twin Dragon Island as the center.
The Twin Dragon Island did have some advantages.
After all, they could take a rest and make preparations in advance. Also, with the permission to alter the terrains of the continent after the advancement, it was possible to transform the settlement into a stronghold.
It would be possible to claim the neutral resources and territories!
However, there were disadvantages too.
As the destination of the whole quest, it meant that alien settlements would be arriving at the Twin Dragon Island in every direction.
Considering the Twin Dragon Island’s strength, it had nothing to worry about if it was faced with one or two settlements, but such a huge number of enemies would cause great pressure!
“In other words, this ‘reward’ is simply a trap, isn’t it?”
“We’ve completed the ‘A Hundred Vying Barges’ quest by fighting four enemies on our own, and our reward is that we’ll be attacked in four directions.”
“This time, it might not just be ‘four directions’. It’s possible that some aliens will come from the sky, the sea, or even the underground.”
“Even a god cannot defeat hundreds of enemies on his own, can he?”
Mister Bug, whose eyes were covered by a piece of white cloth, seemed rather disappointed.
He had distinguished himself with his laser eyes superpower on the battlefield, but he caught the enemy’s attention, and one of Wang Qing’s Commanders shot arrows into them.
Fortunately, a player who had medical superpowers was around, so he wasn’t killed.
Nevertheless, he was quite exhausted after a whole day of fighting.
He was even more exhausted upon hearing that they might suffer from the same pressure and attacks in the future.
Of course, the greater reason for their disappointment was that the reward was greatly different from what the Ten-Species Competition gave.
“No, I don’t think we’ll be faced with a lot of enemies.
“The requirement of this quest is that the settlement becomes Transcendent and reaches the destination. It does not require the people in the settlement to reach it!
“Those aliens will complete the quest after they reach somewhere near our settlement. Unlike the Four Greatest Rebels, they don’t have to seize our settlement core.
“Therefore, it’s possible for us to coexist with them in peace!”
Seeing that a lot of people were as frustrated as Mister Bug, Ji Ye suddenly opened his mouth on the golden chariot.
“Also, after I carefully considered the notification, I think that to be set as the destination is part of the rewards for the Twin Dragon Island, which is the first settlement to become Transcendent!
“The specific rewards of the quest haven’t been directly told to us. It’s possible that they’re hidden, just like the advancement in the Ten-Species Competition that gave you a setting edge in the Battlefield of Providence. We have to unearth them by ourselves.”
As someone with reasonably good grades, Ji Ye was definitely not bad at comprehension.
He had noticed that a long time ago, and he had a piece of speculation.
To become a “destination” was definitely not a reward. Considering how fair the Land of Inheritance always was and how generous it was to the first quest completer, the Twin Dragon Island would be given enough resources if it had to fight a hundred enemies!
“What are the resources exactly? We’ll find out very soon.
“There’s no need to worry about that for now. Let’s clear the battlefield and clean up the mess here.
“The items that need to be transported back to our treasury can be kept on this golden chariot for now.”
In the end, Ji Ye spoke to those on the battlefield.
Although the battle was already over, there were still a lot of things to do.
For example, even though all the villains who didn’t surrender had disappeared into the power of providence, their equipment and horses were all left behind and had to be picked up.
The resources in the Four Greatest Rebels’ settlements had to be inspected, the hidden problems had to be taken care of, and the wounded men on the Twin Dragon Island must be treated…
Those things were no less easy than a battle for a settlement.
Fortunately, Ji Ye didn’t have to work on them, because the Twin Dragon Island had plenty of talents in that regard.
For example, Su Nongying had already arrived at the battlefield on a Golden Condor with her Registration Book, Shang Yan was already treating the injured people, and Zhou Yu and Mi Zhu who were familiar with the tasks were helping…
“Roar!”
After the golden chariot was half filled up with the colorful spoils of war, the golden flood dragons roared and hauled the chariot away.
“I need to train myself in seclusion for a while.
“Don’t interrupt me unless it’s necessary.”
After driving the golden chariot back to the fort and putting the important spoils into the treasury, Ji Ye instructed from the golden chariot.
The inside of the golden chariot was independent of the outside world and was so sturdy that even the demon claw couldn’t destroy it directly.
Therefore, it was the perfect place to train in seclusion.
Naturally, Ji Ye was training in seclusion because he wanted to see the effect of infinite fusions.
Because the power of providence to use talent skills was provided by the settlement after the advancement, the original cooldown requirement had disappeared.
As for the targets to be fused…
Well, I should fuse the contracting talent first!
Ji Ye thought to himself.
After all, the three thousand soldiers who surrendered required a significant amount of power of providence. If they could be transformed into members of the Twin Dragon Island with the contracting talent, the cost could be saved.
However, the contracting talent had a maximal time of usage, so it couldn’t be fused with himself. He had to choose a target to fuse with.
“What should I choose?”
Different fusion plans popped up in Ji Ye’s head.
“Dragon-Subduing Strike” + “Contracting Talent” = The enemy would fall and surrender the moment he slapped them?
“Flood Dragon Blood” + “Contracting Talent” = He could contract a target with a drop of blood so that the target would receive the Extraordinary dragon bloodline?
“Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique” + “Contracting Talent” = Runes that could be contracted?
Because he had enough quota, Ji Ye could finally fully use his creativity like what he did during the first few fusions, so he considered all kinds of possibilities.
For a very long time, he had to use Fusion only on critical occasions as the Twin Dragon Island was always faced with threats.
He had fused special items, techniques, and even offerings.
Now that he had a hundred opportunities to use Fusion, he intended to do something else.
