Chapter 508: Chapter 389: Double Merit
Weiss’s face was excited, and he didn’t need much consideration for the two options offered by Zhang Xiaoman, as he directly chose the latter.
The other members of the Wildfire Team nodded as well, evidently sharing the same idea.
They were not fools; compared to those days of taking on bounty tasks, this opportunity to get in touch with the Transcendent and join it was clearly the wisest choice.
Although this would subject them to some restrictions and cost them some freedom, who would want to give up the chance to become a Transcendent?
Moreover, the days for their team of bounty hunters were actually not that great.
Though to others, their carefree lifestyle might seem quite enviable.
Out of money? Just take on a mission—the bounties could be saved up or spent immediately for enjoyment.
Such an idyllic life seemed very free and unrestrained and was once the envy of many naive youths.
But the reality was that this uncertain lifestyle was extremely dangerous, and they were virtually licking blood off the blade’s edge every day.
They often had to guard against enemies seeking revenge, and the commission from a single mission wasn’t really that much.
Those plot twists involving millions in rewards could only be found in movies.
The employers in real life were not rich themselves, each one more miserly than the last, so how could they possibly offer much bounty?
If lucky, getting a few tens of thousands would be really good.
This was also why Weiss particularly loved the missions entrusted by the Light Blue Clan; after all, finding such easy jobs where one could make tens of thousands of US Dollars was very hard.
However, the unexpected encounter with those mutated creatures was something they hadn’t anticipated.
In the end, it all boils down to one thing: being a bounty hunter is far from as glamorous as others might think.
Otherwise, America wouldn’t have recruited so many new hands in a short time.
Weiss knew that many of his peers had recently joined the Sea Lion Team in America.
Earlier, he was a bit puzzled about this move. But now, he was beginning to see some clues.
It seemed, inevitably, to have something to do with those monsters.
For his part, having the support of an Extraordinary Force surely promised a better future.
Zhang Xiaoman, seeing the excited expressions of the group, was already used to such oddities.
He glanced at the scroll in Weiss’s hand and said,
"The proposals I just mentioned, you don’t need to respond to me right now. What I need to tell you is, dealing with Alien Species is not as safe as doing missions; it’s even more dangerous. Once you decide on some things, it becomes very difficult to change them."
As he spoke, he gestured for Hu Peng and Xun You to come over, and he didn’t forget to remind the Wildfire Team,
"I’ll give you half an hour to think it over carefully. If there is no problem, follow me back to the Star Alliance later."
With that, he led Hu Peng and Xun You toward the direction of the woods.
This was where the body of the giant black snake lay. Zhang Xiaoman surveyed it and spoke to the two behind him,
"The monster this time is completely different from those Alien Species. What exactly lies behind it is still unknown. After we return, I need you two to continue investigating this matter here and find out who’s behind it."
Hu Peng and Xun You nodded solemnly in acknowledgment.
Zhang Xiaoman then turned to them and asked, "By the way, was the combat video recorded?"
"Yes."
Xun You patted a button-like object on his chest and said,
"Boss, as per your request, everyone in the Light Blue Clan has now been equipped with this type of camera. Before combat, you just need to tap it gently to turn it on."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded.
"Good, when you get back, send me the video so I can assess this battle. Although these monsters are not Alien Species and cannot be purified to bring Contribution, I will double the Merit reward for you, rest assured."
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on their faces.
Although they couldn’t earn Contribution Points, the Merit was quite good.
Even in some ways, Merit was harder to obtain than Contribution.
Typically, killing a First Order monster only yields one Merit Point.
And to advance from a one-star Guardian to a two-star Watchman, you need at least 200 Merit Points.
In other words, killing 200 First Order monsters is necessary.
Of course, there are other ways to earn Merit Points, such as developing a new Dark Energy Formula.
Improving your Star Level also allows you to obtain more benefits, such as status within the organization, welfare treatment, and resource allocation, etc.
Even the Contribution Value exchange mall offered by the Star Alliance unlocks more types of merchandise.
In short, there are many benefits.
Hu Peng and Xun You’s identities were from the Guardian branch, and almost all of Zhang Xiaoman’s people from the Light Blue Clan were assigned to the Radiant Hall of the Three Great Sanctuaries.
Only Lord Bear, who liked to wander around the world, voluntarily requested to join the Star Palace representing the Forest Guardians.
If they reached 200 Merit Points, they could advance from a one-star Guardian to a two-star Watchman, which was also a small dream for Hu Peng and Xun You.
In the time that followed, Zhang Xiaoman discussed the detailed situation regarding Mutated Creatures with them.
He had a certain impression of these creatures when they talked over the phone earlier, but it wasn’t enough, and now was a good time to further understand them.
Overall, this operation was quite fruitful for him.
Aside from attracting talents like Jannan, he had successfully opened a base and obtained the Extraordinary resources there, just waiting to go back and carry out the testing before it could be put to use.
Looking at the lying corpse of the monster on the ground, Zhang Xiaoman felt it shouldn’t be wasted; after all, this was a new type of Mutated Creature that should hold certain research value.
He immediately cast a Floating spell on it, then had the Star Guards lift it up and walked toward the Anti-gravity Car outside the Oasis.
Additionally, there was a wolf corpse beside the graveyard.
Although this one had been laid out for several days and had started to stink a little, considering the rarity of monsters, Zhang Xiaoman still held his nose and carried it away too.
The bodies of two monsters were loaded one after another into the cargo bay of the spaceship, Zhang Xiaoman returned to the captain’s quarters to wait, and soon received a notification from Star Order.
The others had already finished their duties and gathered here.
If they wanted to go to Rebirth Island, Hu Peng and Xun You could now Teleport directly back using the Starry Stone.
However, both expressed that they still wanted to board and experience this legendary Space Shuttle for themselves.
Including the four from the Wildfire Team, this group of seven curious guys toured inside the Dawn, occasionally letting out various exclamations, which was quite frustrating.
