Chapter 524: Mission Distribution Quota

“Let’s explore it together!” The atmosphere in the banquet hall became fervor. The voices of individuals talking couldn’t even be heard clearly anymore.

It was inevitable. Although many of those present had a feeling, Zi Wei’s word still seemed quite unbelievable to many players.

For smaller guilds, exploring a new-discovery like this would not be odd. After all, many unexplored abandoned ruins in War had player quotas. Additionally, the monsters in such ruins were typically stronger as well. Some abandoned ruins even had a huge number of Elite monsters.

As such, for such small guilds to ensure they could succeed in the exploration within the protection period, they would invite allied guilds to join them so that they may send their most elite members to take part in the exploration.

But the Nine Star Guild was not a small guild.

As the number one guild in Storm City and one of the top ten mega-guilds in the entire game, they had over five million players in total and over three million combat players. Not to mention exploring a ruin, but even if it were taking part in a war against a ridiculously strong enemy like the Rebel Army, the Nine Star Guild would probably be able to hold out for some time.

A guild of this level was still asking other powers and factions to jointly explore a ruin?

Standing in the middle of the stage under the golden spotlight, Zi Wei’s expression showed that she had completely anticipated the reaction of the audience. “I know that right now, a lot of you have a ton of questions. The truth is quite simple, our guild members are not 100% confident about this exploration.”

“If your Nine Star Guild isn’t strong enough, then just what is the difficulty rating of this abandoned ruin?” Hearing the unexpected yet understandable statement, the people from other guilds became even more curious.

Even Feng Luo’s attention was now fully occupied by Zi Wei under the spotlight.

“The abandoned ruin’s difficulty rating is certainly very high. All the monsters inside are over Level 50, most of them are Elite Grade monsters. There are even Elite Grade and Commander Grade monsters over Level 60. “Zi Wei’s gentle smile returned.

“However, if it were only that, our Nine Star Guild would still have ways to deal with that. The main reason why we invited you all to join us is because we are not the only guild to complete the prerequisite mission to this abandoned ruin mission. There is also North City’s SK guild. They have also acquired the qualifications to enter the ruin.” When Zi Wei spoke, she extended her finger and pressed on something again, and a symbol of a golden bird flying with its wings outstretched appeared in the air of the main hall.

“SK Guild?”

“The number one guild in North City founded by the SK Conglomerate?”

North City’s SK Guild was a mega guild. Compared to the Nine Star Guild, it was ranked slightly lower; nonetheless, it was still one of the top ten guilds in War.

“It is a competition-type abandoned ruin that allowed two teams to enter.”

Upon hearing that, many of those present completely understood the situation.

Abandoned ruins that allowed more than one team to enter at the same time were not all that rare in War.

In such abandoned ruins, players would have to face the defensive weapons and Elite monsters inside the abandoned ruin, in addition to other rival players attempting to complete the mission. At the same time, the death penalty of such abandoned ruins would also be more severe than normal.

A myriad of reasons increased the difficulty of exploring the ruin, and it was too easy to fail.

“The abandoned ruin also has a rule that encouraged conflict. Upon death, no matter who it is, all items acquired within the ruin would be dropped. This means that if one side were to kill another, they would be able to acquire all the spoils of the opponent.” Zi Wei continued. “However, we, the Nine Star Guild, are not weaker than SK. We are confident that we are slightly stronger than them. If it were a fair competition between both guilds, I can confidently claim that the ultimate victor and successful explorers of the ruin exploration mission will be us, the Nine Star Guild. However, we received news today saying that the SK Guild will be working with the top 100 guilds in North City. They have invited the top experts of those guilds to take part in the event and have promised them benefits as conditions…”

“So that’s how it is!” By then, everyone present had understood the situation. The Nine Star Guild hosted the banquet and invited all the large guilds to participate in the abandoned ruin exploration.

No matter how strong the Nine Star Guild was, it was impossible for a single guild to compete and win against a group created by the experts from the top 100 guilds in North City. Additionally, the penalty of the abandoned ruin was also severe, if they failed the mission, all of the spoils and gains from the abandoned ruin would simply belong to the enemy.

Zi Wei then added one more sentence to conclude, “That is why we also hope to combine the top-tier strength of Storm City so that together, we can succeed and complete this abandoned ruin exploration.”

Then, a middle-aged player asked, “Guild leader Zi Wei, can I ask something?”

“Mr. He, please go ahead.” Zi Wei said while nodding.

“What is the player quota for the abandoned ruin exploration?” Asked the middle-aged player.

The hall turned silent. Clearly, he was not the only one wondering about this issue.

“The mission allowed 500 per side. We, the Nine Star Guild, have decided to allocate half of the spots as open spots. 200 spots will be left to all the top experts of all the present guilds.” Zi Wei smiled and replied.

“Taking out half of them? The Nine Star Guild sure is generous.”

“But isn’t half 250? Then where do the remaining 50 spots go?”

The people below the stage began another discussion.

“The remaining 50 spots will be allocated to the guildless players in Storm City. I will publish the details on the forum in just a moment. As long as they are Storm City players, they will be able to obtain these spots after going through the examination set by our guild’s headquarters.” Announced Zi Wei. When she spoke, her gently smiling face scanned across the audience below the stage.

“To the guildless players.”

“Nine Star Guild played this splendidly.”

Upon hearing this, under the stage in the dark, some of the Storm City players looked delighted while others simply frowned.

Those who looked delighted were clearly guildless players who were confident of obtaining such spots while those who frowned were naturally other large guilds that were rivals of the Nine Star Guild.

Nine Star Guild’s move of providing opportunities to the guildless players was considered a splendid tactical move.

One could expect that a lot of guildless players would apply to join the expedition once details were made available.

The lure of a Quasi-Boss Grade pet was even greater than a piece of Legendary Grade equipment.

Similarly, the ones who would ultimately obtain the spots were also definitely not going to be your average Joe players. They would be the top experts among the guildless.

Even if they did not join the expedition, at the very least they would owe a favor to the Nine Star Guild. In that sense, the chances of these experts joining the Nine Star Guild would be higher than them joining other guilds.

That was the reason why many of the higher-ups from other large guilds frowned.

Although they also received a lot of benefits, since there were hundreds of guilds presently in the hall, even the top ten guilds would only manage four to five spots, at most.

The benefits gained from having those spots could never be compared to Nine Star Guild’s fame and popularity, not to mention other hidden benefits, gained from this maneuver.

Nine Star Guild’s number one spot in Storm City would become even more absolute, and it would be even more difficult to topple them in the future.
