Chapter 273: Unwritten Rules
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The mercenary group was divided into six levels.
Yellow Rank, Black Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, and Emperor Rank!
The highest level was to surpass the emperor-level and obtain an exclusive honorary title!
T his title was personally bestowed by rhe guild leader of the Mercenary Guild. Mercenary groups that could obtain honorable titles were extremely rare, in fact, there were only three of them in the entire boundless world.
At the same time, the level of the mercenary group represented how many missions one could accept.
T his has nothing to do with your strength.
Only by completing the mission, the completion rate of the mission, and the amount of remuneration he received.
For example, if a Yellow rank mercenary group wanted to advance to
Mysterious Grade, they needed to complete ten Yellow rank missions.
in the end, after completing a quasi Mysterious Rank mission, one could apply to be promoted to a Mysterious Rank mercenary group.
Now, the Cottage mercenary group formed by Ye Qiubai, Blackie, and Shi
Sheng was at the lowest yellow rank.
Naturally, he could only accept yellow-rank missions.
However, even if it was a yellow-rank mission,
some missions could only be accepted by people at the Void God Realm.
For example, hunting a Beginner Stage Void God Realm magical beast and obtaining its core.
T he troublesome thing was not a Beginner Stage Void God Realm magical beast.
T here was an annotation under the paper.
T his magical beast liked to live in groups.
in other words, even though he only needed one core,
However, you have to face a group of Void God Realm magical beasts.
If it was not handled properly, even Void God Realm cultivators would be in danger.
Another example was the collection mission, which was less dangerous.
Gathering missions usually included some heavenly treasures, medicinal herbs, and special forging materials.
in front of the Yellow Rank Mission’s mission board.
Shi Sheng asked, “How is it, Senior Brother? What mission should we accept first?”
Blackie scratched his head and smiled. “Senior Brother, do you want to accept the mission to hunt magical beasts?”
Ye Qiubai looked at the papers.
He sized up the rewards.
What were they lacking in the most now?
It was crystals.
It was the currency of the boundless world.
There were no crystals.
it could be said that many things could not be done.
He couldn’t even rent a place to stay.
Ye Qiubai said, “We still have 20 Origin Crystals. The most important thing now should be to accept missions with more Origin Crystals.”
And now, there were two missions with more crystals.
T he first was to gather an alchemy ingredient called the Void Grass.
The reward was 50 crystals.
T he second was the escort mission, escorting the daughter of a noble family in Rising Clouds City.
The reward reached 100 crystals!
Of course, there were additional conditions.
He had to have the strength to fight an Intermediate Stage Void God Realm expert!
Ye Qiubai was very interested in this mission.
While earning Origin Crystals, he could also take the opportunity to ask for clues.
She was the daughter of an aristocratic family after all.
He should know something.
Hence, Ye Qiubai took off the paper.
He walked to the front desk and recorded the mission he had accepted.
When they were recording, five men and a woman suddenly pushed open the door and entered, shouting, “Who stole our mission?”
In front of the Yellow Rank Mission Board, it was obvious that someone knew these six people.
He pointed in Ye Qiubai’s direction.
The middle-aged man in the lead had three scars on his face.
The three scars crisscrossed the man’s face, looking extremely ferocious!
T he man brought the five of them to Ye Qiubai’s side and frowned. “Don’t you know that this mission has already been reserved by our Scale Mercenary Group?”
Luo Yun also looked at the man and frowned slightly.
T here was an unwritten rule in the Mercenary Association.
T he mission was predetermined.
T his was a rule among mercenary groups.
If a mercenary group booked a mission and during that time, it was snatched away by another mercenary group.
T hen, this also meant that there would be a grudge between the two mercenary groups.
T he mercenary group could only accept one mission at a time.
If they encountered other tempting missions during the mission period, they would choose to make a reservation, which was to inform the other mercenary groups.
No one would choose a mission that others had predetermined under normal circumstances.
T hey were all out to make a living after all. There was no need to offend others. It wasn’t like there were no quests to choose from.
Luo Yun looked at Ye Qiubai worriedly. After explaining this matter, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you about this unwritten rule in advance.”
Ye Qiubai ignored the people from the scaled mercenary group and looked at
Luo Yun. He chuckled and said, “Is this the rule of the Mercenary Guild?”
Luo Yun was stunned and shook her head.
“That’s right.”
Ye Qiubai revealed a harmless smile and said, “I accepted this mission first, so we naturally completed it.”
After saying this, the onlookers smiled as they watched the show.
“Those three young people are new, right? It seems that one of them is at the
Qianyuan Realm.”
“With this strength, I’m afraid it’s not enough to go head-to-head with that group of people in scale armor.”
“After all, Scale is only one mission away from becoming a Black Grade mercenary group. Five of them are at the Beginner Stage Void God Realm.” “The leader’s strength has already reached the Intermediate Stage Void God
Realm. I’m afraid we can’t afford to offend him.”
He Lin, the leader of the Scaled Armor Mercenary Group, heard Ye Qiubai’s words.
Instead of being angry, he smiled.
“Kid, you have guts.”
“Alright, since that’s the case, don’t say that our Scaled Armor Mercenary
Group bullies newbies. Let s follow the rules of the Mercenary Guild. How about that?”
Ye Qiubai looked at Luo Yun.
It was obvious that he was asking what other rules there were.
Luo Yun explained, “According to the rules, if both parties want to accept the same mission, they can go to the employer who issued the mission together and let him choose.”
He Lin sneered and said, “In that case, is it feasible?”
Ye Qiubai thought for a moment. Since it was a rule of the Mercenary Guild, it couldn’t be violated.
He nodded and agreed.
T hey agreed to meet tomorrow, which was the start of the mission.
Both parties would go to the employer s family at the same time.
It was night, Ye Qiubai didn’t cultivate, instead, he lay outside the tent and looked at the starry sky above him.
Shi Sheng was absorbing the power of the stars in the starry sky and cultivating.
Ye Qiubai took out the jade pendant hanging on his chest.
He placed it in his palm and stared at the jade pendant in a daze.
T his was what Mu Ziqing had left for him back then.
Now, he had arrived at the boundless realm.
There was already a faint cold aura coming from the jade pendant.
This meant that…
Mu Ziqing was currently in this boundless realm.
However, from the looks of it, Mu Ziqing’s background was probably one of the top existences in this boundless realm.
‘£ wonder if the Mu family is related to Mu Ziqing…’
At the thought of this, Ye Qiubai sighed softly.
It was useless to think so much.
With his current strength, it was probably not enough.
From the looks of it, he was raising his cultivation level in the Mercenary Association.
At the same time, he asked about Mu Ziqing’s whereabouts.
He could only welcome Mu Ziqing openly only if he was strong enough!
