Chapter 624: Chapter 468: Blessed with the Wildfire…_2 Chapter 624: Chapter 468: Blessed with the Wildfire…_2 “Those guys must’ve used some method that made us feel like our connection with our bodies was unstable; otherwise, we could’ve slaughtered them all without a scratch…”

“Damn it, seriously, the fight was disgustingly annoying,” an employee carrying a stretcher couldn’t help but curse.

Midway through the battle, they suddenly felt as if the “bandwidth” was being siphoned from their bodies.

It almost led to a turnaround by the enemy in what should have been an easy win.

It was extremely frustrating…

Listening to this, Colin translated in his mind, “It lagged, if it didn’t lag, they’d all be dead.”

They talked tough, even if they weren’t that strong.

Well, that’s not entirely true, thinking over the employees’ words, that must have been when “Lady Bunny” deployed her legion.

Perhaps there really was a minor issue with the signal.

Colin waved his hand: “It’s fine, as long as you’re alive.”

After a pause, he continued, “Did you guys bring back your limbs and stuff?”

“We did.” “Life Mentor Adorable” took out a bag from the “Storage Room.”

The bag contained chunks of flesh and bits of organs, as well as some bones and so on…

This was what he collected from the bellies of their enemies afterward; they were still alive, and cleaning them up should make them usable again.

“That’s good,” Colin nodded.

Although they hadn’t brought back any severed limbs, they knew recovery would be much slower without them, even though it could be achieved through various means; employees who often lost arms or legs knew this all too well.

Then, ignoring the thick scent of blood in the air,

Colin summoned the “Mark of the Fire Tree.”

The moment the huge tree appeared, countless aerial roots fell like tentacles, inserting into their bodies and slowly enveloping each wounded person.

At the same time, Colin also had them activate some of their Talents, and had the Little Maid combine other healing artifacts with functional properties.

To treat everyone present…

“They should all recover in about two or three days.”

In this regard, Colin was relatively generous and did not cut back on resources for the sake of saving.

After all, the faster they healed, the sooner the employees could get back to work.

There were backlogged tasks on his territory that needed attending to.

“By the way, Brother Shunzi, how did the mission go?” “Life Mentor Adorable” called out from within the cocoon of roots atop the Fire Tree.

“Everything went smoothly,” Colin gave a “OK” hand gesture.

Hearing this, all workers including Cute Duo, while sighing with relief, couldn’t help but smile a bit.

They expected to receive quite a Points after returning.

‘Successfully retrieved “Hunger,” then obtained a severed hand, and also dealt with the contents of the hidden trade with the “Subsidiary.” Feels like we’re going to score quite a number of Points…’

Colin thought about it and felt that this time, they should have a decent haul.

At the very least in terms of Points, “Lady Bunny” was always generous.

There should be a chance to upgrade “Time Freeze” and extend its range further, and the duration should increase as well.

From 7 seconds, upgraded to 9 seconds.

It might seem like just two seconds, but for a master, that extra time might just be enough to bring in a steamroller.

Shaking his head, Colin turned and went back to the Conclave, letting Shana know she should be able to get a share of Points next time.

“Ah, is that possible…” Shana was stunned.

“Of course, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have found ‘Hunger’ at all.”

Colin nodded, affirming the part this “Saint” played.

“Okay, then, thank you.” Shana nodded in thanks; she had observed over time that these people earned far more Points than she did.

If she dared to hope, perhaps ten times as much!

She wasn’t sure about the specifics behind such disparity, but she didn’t dwell on it too much—firstly because the Parchment couldn’t be helped, and secondly because as long as she had enough Points for her needs, she was content.

Most of the time, she used them to help others, with only a small portion for herself.

For example, entering “Light Dreamland” and summoning a diagram of the tree required spending Points—usually ten for a single entry.

Then again, opening the diagram needs ten Points…

And closing it needs another ten Points.

One trip could cost about thirty Points.

In the past, to save, she would hoard a bunch of tree nutrients before entering to upgrade herself.

Now, thanks to the large amount of Points from Mr. Colin,

things were less tight.

Of course, even if there was no urgency, she had no intentions of spending hundreds of Points in “Light Dreamland” to transform her appearance to “Mythic Form.” That seemed too indulgent—it was like changing clothes without any substantial improvement, and to her it was rather pointless and overly extravagant…

Several days passed quickly, and the time to depart was approaching.

As usual, Shana gifted Colin a meticulously crafted and substantial Gold Mark.

The surging “Light” energy within it almost seemed to overflow.

“Just this mark alone feels like it’s worth several thousand Points,” Colin weighed it in his hand, silently estimating.

Apart from him, Shana also presented smaller Gold Marks to the other employees, which she could easily produce with a flick of her wrist.

Although their effects were not as strong as Colin’s, the employees were elated.

After all, judging from the previous little golden beans, these Marks were really useful!

…

“Dong~ Dong~ Dong~”

The distant and ancient bell sounds slowly faded in the ear…
