Chapter 447 - 447 392 The Light Chasers One-on-One

Chapter 447: Chapter 392: The Light Chaser’s One-on-One Teaching._2 Chapter 447: Chapter 392: The Light Chaser’s One-on-One Teaching._2 “Now that we’ve settled that matter, let’s talk about the second thing, regarding the shield emblem…”

“The shield emblem…” The duplicate muttered, as if only just recalling such a trinket.

Although the item was made of gold, to her nowadays, it belonged to the category of things that were nice to have but not essential. During combat, it could hardly provide any effective help other than spiritual assistance…

Unless it could unleash the true power hidden within the artifact.

But forcibly unleashing that power would bring major trouble, and whether it could be reined in again was another question altogether…

At this moment, reading the expression of the Divine Envoy, Shana guessed what the other wanted to say:

“You still want to use it?”

“Yes.”

Colin was quite satisfied with the effects of this item, it had many uses in addition to its offensive capabilities.

Hearing this, Shana wasn’t particularly surprised. This time, not waiting for Colin to continue, she directly said:

“Okay.”

“Lately points have been a bit… Huh?” Suddenly, Colin was puzzled, unsure as he looked at the “Light Chaser” before him, “You mean… no points needed?”

“Yes.” The fuzzy light shadow nodded, enveloping Vanessa.

Strange, when had they become so generous? Colin wondered. In his eyes, the “Light Chaser” was someone who wouldn’t let slip any chance to earn points, always keen on any profitable opportunity…

Was it because they had made enough lately, acquiring all the artifacts and equipment they wanted, so they didn’t care about the meager thousands of points for renewal?

As his thoughts flitted by, Colin continued to listen as the other spoke with Vanessa’s voice: “You… I won’t be able to come and take the item away soon. Without it, you might… find yourself in a tight spot. We’ll talk when I arrive…”

She seemed to have found an excuse to convince herself.

“Alright.” Colin didn’t say much else.

After joining some excellent talent cultivation program, he quickly understood why the “Light Chaser,” who possessed formidable strength, would still be interested in mere points.

Because once the program started, the costs of upgrading were enormous.

The basic requirement was often tens of thousands of points…

Even he felt it was hard to cope.

“But look at it this way, no matter how much money one makes, the company has a way to earn it back. The talent program seems designed for those of us who can earn points, doesn’t it?” Colin sighed inwardly and then asked, “When does the training begin?”

“We can start now, but before that, I have a request…” The fuzzy light shadow spoke with some hesitation.

“What request?” Colin asked, curious.

“Perhaps in due time, there will be a group of about thirty thousand refugees fleeing from the Catastrophe of the Magic Fog. Could you accept them? I can offer…”

At this, the “Light Chaser” paused, seemingly unsure of what price to propose.

Even with tens of thousands of points at their disposal, they felt less confident than when they had just 500 points.

At that time, they might confidently have offered a price of three hundred points…

Then…

Shana wasn’t familiar with the term “social death,” but she knew that such a move would probably…

However, just as she considered long-term usage rights to the “Shield of Fairness Adjudication” or points as compensation, Colin instantly agreed without a second thought…

“It’s our sacred duty at ‘Bonfire Company’ to succor innocent refugees; just entrust them to me without worry, even if there are more…”

He hadn’t imagined that the other party would directly bring forth such a substantial addition, especially as upgrading the “Third Level Bonfire” also needed people.

As for compensation, Colin wasn’t too concerned…

If he mentioned compensation, later on, it would be harder to ask those people to stay.

“Sir Bonfire, thank you immensely,” Shana expressed her gratitude earnestly.

“Yeah, then… when will the training start?” Colin looked forward expectantly.

“We can have a preliminary try right now. Use the shield emblem to create a battlefield. Try to defeat this replica of mine by all means, with full force. The more formal battle might have to wait a couple of days. I’ll arrange it first…”

As she spoke, the blurry silhouette stepped out from Vanessa, carefully laying down the “Light” believer on the ground.

On hearing this, Colin didn’t say much. He simply commenced the battle.

He was curious to see how much of a chance he stood against his opponent this time around…

Especially since this time, he had the Orange Equipment Liberation!

…

And just as the battle began, off to the side, Shana was still a bit out of sorts looking at the ten thousand points in her pocket.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit like one of those evil nobles from certain kingdoms who used cheap glyph-engraved glassware to deceive and intimidate the barbarian tribes, exchanging it for precious gold in an unscrupulous manner.

Especially because…

In her heart, Colin was one of the kinder and friendlier ones, also trying to save the suffering denizens like her.

Many refugees on his lands had a kind of vitality hard to find elsewhere…

Comparing the two, her sense of guilt grew a bit stronger.

But at this very moment, after having interacted with Colin twice, she started to realize there might be some issues, like his channel for earning points seemed a bit different from hers?

Shana had calculated before that to earn tens of thousands of points, even doing three or four missions a day, it would take half a year.

But…

This “Bonfire Envoy’s” mission history…
