Chapter 146: Guild Mission!
Coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiang flipped through the detailed introduction of the Guild mission.
Overall, it was very similar to the mission when the Guild upgraded to a town level.
It was basically divided into three types: collection missions, monster hunting missions, and donation missions.
The collection mission listed an extremely long list of items.
Sky Star Grass x 10,000 portions, Purple Extreme South Ore x 10,000 portions, Shattered Cold Stone x 10,000 portions...
Li Xiang scanned it and found there were thousands of types.
Fortunately, the Gods Guild was not required to collect all of these items.
Instead, they were to collect as much as possible.
They would collect as much as they could before the City expansion was completed, and rewards would be settled at that time.
Similarly, there were many monster hunting missions.
Because a City is much larger than a second-tier main City, the expansion process would inevitably encroach upon a large portion of the wilderness area.
This part of the wilderness area was not a problem when Wu Shuang City was a second-tier main City; it was a leveling area for players, but for a City, this area belonged to the urban district and had to be cleared.
Therefore, the monster hunting mission was to clear all the Monsters within the designated range around Wu Shuang City.
This clearing mission was not only available to the Gods Guild.
Wu Shuang City had long since released an announcement, recruiting people from all players to clear the Monsters.
Now, a large portion of the Monsters had already been cleared, and only a small number remained.
However, as a Guild mission, there were some differences, such as the coordinates of more than ten BOSSes marked within it.
These BOSSes were determined by the official Wu Shuang City to be Monsters that would affect the safety and stable operation of Wu Shuang City and needed expert players to clear them.
Originally, this mission was also given to Elite players among ordinary players as a hidden mission to be accepted.
But because of Li Xiang's connection, it was directly included in this Guild mission!
Apart from these two missions, there was the donation mission, which started from 100,000 gold coins, with no upper limit.
Seeing the starting donation amount of 100,000 gold coins, the players in the Gods Guild all felt their vision go dark after seeing it.
"Holy crap!!! This mission is outrageous!!! Starting donation of 100,000 gold coins!!! Why don't they just rob us?!"
"Uh... is it possible that this is exactly robbing..."
"...And the kind that's done openly..."
"..."
The Guild members fell silent.
Li Xiang was also a little surprised to see this number.
But when he thought about the construction of a main City, let alone 100,000 gold coins, even investing 1,000,000 gold coins probably wouldn't cause much of a ripple, and then it felt reasonable.
Opening the Guild channel, Li Xiang saw that the number of people in the Guild channel had reached 387 and was still increasing.
This indicated that new recruitment was underway.
The Guild channel was very lively, with new recruits constantly joining, and the old members introducing the Guild's situation and giving out red envelopes.
Smiling, he closed the Guild channel, and Li Xiang's gaze turned to the locations of the BOSSes in the monster hunting mission.
There were a total of 12 BOSS coordinate locations.
They ranged from level 15 to level 50.
The high-level BOSSes were clearly beyond the ability of the Guild players to defeat.
This part of the BOSSes would require Li Xiang to take action.
Li Xiang thought for a moment, opened his friends list, and found Shiba Ceng Futu.
"Futu, for the Guild mission, you and Merciless Ice take the Guild players to take care of the BOSSes below level 40, and I'll take care of the ones above level 40."
Shiba Ceng Futu replied instantly, "Okay, President!!"
Afterward, Li Xiang also informed Merciless Ice, and after receiving a positive response, he closed the friends list.
"There are a total of 3 Monsters above level 40.
One at level 40, one at level 45, and one at level 50..."
"Let's go to the first one first..."
...
Twisted Forest.
Li Xiang arrived at the coordinate point of the first BOSS.
In this forest, the trees grew in extremely peculiar ways; there were crooked-necked trees, slanted ones, lying down ones, they grew in every possible way.
The trees were also dense, blocking out most of the sunlight, making the entire forest appear very eerie.
Standing at the entrance of the forest, wisps of cold wind blew from within the woods.
Looking inward from this direction, it was as if a giant abyss beast had opened its large mouth, waiting at all times for 'destined people' to mistakenly enter, sending shivers down one's spine...
"This scene... is so realistic!!!"
After praising it, Li Xiang walked directly into the forest.
After walking a few steps, he saw a twisted Tree Ent crawling towards him in a bizarre posture.
Slender roots like finger joints supported its shriveled trunk, and a dark, hollow human face with a strange expression was conjured on the trunk...
Overall, it looked... a bit creepy...
Li Xiang tightened his grip on the storm divine sword in his hand.

"Phew... it's just an Elite Monster..."
Damn it!!!
Li Xiang raised his hand.
"Water Arrow!"
Instantly, magic power surged, gathering into a crystal-clear Water Arrow in Li Xiang's palm.
Li Xiang pushed his palm forward slightly, and the Water Arrow shot out instantly.
Splat!!!
Hit!
-59512
High damage was dealt.
The Twisted Tree Ent's HP was only over twenty thousand remaining.
Li Xiang raised his hand again.
Falling Boulder!!!
Instantly, a massive stone slab appeared above the Twisted Tree Ent and crashed down.
Bang!!!
The stone slab completely crushed the Twisted Tree Ent.
A huge damage value appeared, directly clearing the Twisted Tree Ent's health bar!!!
-83882
「Ding! Killed the Elite Monster 'Twisted Tree Ent', gained Experience x455」
Plop.
An equipment dropped.
Li Xiang's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the experience value.
He was level 45 killing a level 40 Monster, yet he only got over four hundred points of experience. Now, to level up, he needed over two hundred million points of experience.
This game was forcing players to constantly kill Monsters above their level to rapidly increase their level...
Picking up the equipment, Li Xiang glanced at it, a level 40 white-grade wristguard with mediocre attributes.
Putting it into his backpack, Li Xiang continued forward.
In the next ten minutes or so, Li Xiang killed hundreds of Twisted Tree Ents.
...
Leaning against a tree, Li Xiang looked puzzled at the coordinates given by the mission, compared them three times, scratched his head, and his face was full of confusion.
"It's here, right? Why haven't I seen any sign of the BOSS? Hasn't it spawned yet?"
"Forget it... I'll rest for a bit first."
Just as he was about to rest, Li Xiang was caught off guard and whipped, his entire body was sent flying several meters away, falling face first.
"Ptooey..."
Climbing up from the ground, Li Xiang saw a hideous face grow out of the trunk of the tree he had just been leaning against.
"This..."
