“Village Chief Shi, General Pan, why are you two here?” Zhang Han was an experienced old fox. He had many people under him and he was well-informed. He already knew what was going on, but he still pretended to know nothing.
Shi Hao was perfectly clear about this point. He wouldn’t allow Zhang Han to play stupid.
Shi Hao said: “Lord Zhang, General Pan wants to give me all his Divine and Mighty Alliance’s contribution points. From hereafter, I’m also a member of the Divine and Mighty Alliance. We are colleagues.”
Zhang Han cupped his hands and expressed a warm welcome.
He said: “Divine and Mighty Alliance naturally welcomes great talents like Lord Shi. Haha! Lord Shi took first place in this dungeon mission, and you have also earned a lot of contribution points. Upon careful calculation, Lord Shi is qualified to become the Divine and Mighty Alliance’s rank 1 official now. Congratulations!”
In the Divine and Mighty Alliance, officials were divided into 10 ranks. The evaluation of official ranks was based on the Divine and Mighty Alliance’s contribution points. The requirement of rank 1 official was 100 points. Afterward, every next rank needed 10 times more points. This time, Shi Hao had gotten 80 points from this dungeon mission, and 500 points from Pan Feng. Therefore, Zhang Han said that Shi Hao was already considered a rank 1 official.
Everyone, don’t underestimate a rank 1 official. Once you have become a rank 1 official, you can openly build your own title and even apply for the challenge against other strongholds.
But, after becoming an official of the Divine and Mighty Alliance, would Divine and Mighty Alliance interfere with the management of the player village? The answer was no. The Divine and Mighty Alliance had no right to intervene in the affairs of the villages established by the players themselves, provided that the players didn’t violate the rules of the Divine and Mighty Alliance. After all, the player village was established by the players themselves, not the property of the Divine and Mighty Alliance. Naturally, the Divine and Mighty Alliance would collect taxes from these player villages, and anyone who evades the taxes would receive capital punishment.
In short, becoming a rank 1 official was a remarkable thing.
Shi Hao was naturally satisfied with this result. Therefore, he let Pan Feng go. In any case, Zhang Han had already acknowledged his status as a rank 1 official, which meant that the points of Pan Feng had already become his.
Shi Hao said: “Lord Zhang, what about the other rewards?”
Zhang Han truly hoped that Shi Hao had forgotten about the other rewards. If Shi Hao had forgotten, then there would be an issue about the ownership of the rewards. But Shi Hao naturally hadn’t forgotten about it, and Zhang Han also couldn’t force him to forget.
Zhang Han said: “Haha! The reward will naturally not be lacking. This time, although Lord Shi was unable to capture Wei Wentong, you still made his head and face covered with dust. I guess he will not jump around for a while. The rewards are here. Lord Shi, you can take them.”
Shi Hao secretly smiled. It was not that he was unable to capture Wei Wentong, rather he just let Wei Wentong go after capturing. And Wei Wentong wouldn’t say so because he was afraid of being laughed at by others. Shi Hao himself also wouldn’t say anything about that. Otherwise, wouldn’t their cooperation collapse? Haha!
Soon, Shi Hao came back to his senses, took the reward package from Zhang Han, opened it and was very satisfied!
Among the rewards, other than Cloud Mist Beast that had already fallen into his hands, he got two more good treasures. The first one was a B grade Advance Soul. Although it was not comparable to the S grade Advance Soul obtained from Wei Wentong, it was enough to upgrade a village into a town with 100% certainty. It was obvious that this Advance Soul would be given to Zhang Yang. The second one was a skill book. It was a B grade skill book. The skill name was Rage.
[Skill Name: Rage]
[Skill Grade: B]
[Skill Type: Active, 15 MP]
[Weapon Restriction: Melee]
[Current Rank and Mastery: Level 1, 0/100]
[Skill Effect: Increase user’s critical-hit rate by 1% and +1 Agility for 10 minutes]
Shi Hao estimated that Feng Tianhao would be very interested in this skill. One shouldn’t look down upon 1% critical-hit rate. There was a line between a critical-hit and not a critical-hit! This line was enough to distinguish north and south. A critical-hit meant a possible appearance of a miracle. It was very hard to make a comeback without a critical-hit when facing a formidable opponent.
Shi Hao was impatient to give this book to Feng Tianhao. Therefore, he turned around, preparing to leave. But Zhang Han stopped him.
“Wait a minute! Lord Shi, I still have something to discuss with you.” Zhang Han dismissed other people and went to a secret room with Shi Hao alone.
“Lord Shi! This matter involves a secret of the Divine and Mighty Alliance. You must not leak it to others. Not even your subordinates.” Zhang Han’s expression was very serious.
Shi Hao nodded his head upon seeing this. He knew that this must be a big deal. It seemed that something was going to happen again.
“Okay! Then I’ll be straightforward.” Zhang Han took out a record book and said: “This is Bizarre Signs Record Book, and it records a location. But this location is not in Divine Flower Continent, also not in Divine Beauty Continent and also not in Divine Ohm Continent. This location is under the sea!
Under the sea! This seafloor obviously referred to those seas and oceans between the three continents!
“This…” Shi Hao was dumbfounded as he complained inwardly. Damn you! Don’t tell me that the mission you want to give me is to go to the seafloor? Haha! Are you asking me to become a shark food? Do you think I’m an idiot? I wonder if there are high-leveled monsters in the sea. Oh, that’s right! In the promotional video of <<Kingdom>>, it showed that the monsters of the sea are all abnormal. They are at least level 70. Do you want me to fight against level 70 monsters? Then, you have to give me this county first and let me manage the Divine and Mighty Alliance.
Zhang Han seemed to have seen through Shi Hao’s worries. He smiled and patted Shi Hao’s shoulder.
Then, he said: “Don’t be so nervous! Although this mission is on the seafloor and it’s a bit dangerous, it is definitely not an impossible mission. Lord Shi, let me explain in detail…”
As it turned out that the Divine and Mighty Alliance had accidentally discovered a mysterious passage. And this mysterious passage was exactly the same as the legendary passage that led to the Seafloor World recorded in the Bizarre Signs Record Book. Allegedly, there were a lot of treasures in the Seafloor World. Therefore, the Divine and Mighty Alliance was overjoyed! They immediately wanted to enter and check it out.
But the mysterious passage had a restriction. No NPC could pass, only players could pass through it. Therefore, the Divine and Mighty Alliance wanted Shi Hao, the most outstanding talent in the dungeon mission, to go in for them. The mission was to go into the mysterious passage, explore and record everything he saw. To put it bluntly, it was just a matter of going in and returning. Naturally, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t die and get captured, unable to return. This was the risk.
In this way, the mission was indeed not as dangerous as Shi Hao had originally imagined. After all, it was just going in and recording a video. Moreover, the Bizarre Signs Record Book also recorded that the Seafloor World ‘should’ be a peaceful world. It was like an underwater dragon palace. It had air and humans could also survive. It was like a small seafloor continent, where some historical NPCs would appear from time to time. As long as Shi Hao was a bit more careful, there shouldn’t any big problem…
“Okay! I will accept this mission, but you must clearly tell me the rewards first.” Shi Hao entered the bargaining mode. In the end, he won a good reward.
Zhang Han made a promise, representing the Divine and Mighty Alliance. As long as Shi Hao successfully completed the mission, Shi Hao would not only get enough points to be promoted to a rank 2 official, but he could also pick an item he liked from the treasury. One should know that the treasury of the Divine and Mighty Alliance was resplendent, filled with treasures. However, the Divine and Mighty Alliance also placed a restriction. Only Shi Hao alone could do this mission. No one else should even know about this mission. Once this information was leaked, Shi Hao would be hunted down by the Divine and Mighty Alliance.
Shi Hao saved a copy of Bizarre Signs Record Book’s information and returned to the Twin Dragons Village with the troops after accepting the mission. Like that, a day passed…
