Chapter 585: The rcenary Group’s Growth!
“Leader Xiao Yan! Now that all the preparations are done, it’s ti for us to take on missions and earn points to raise our rcenary group’s rank!” Xiao Yu pinned the Dreamchaser rcenary Group’s insignia onto her clothes, straightened up, and spoke to Xiao Yan.
Hearing Xiao Yu call him “Leader,” Xiao Yan also smiled and said, “Deputy Leader Xiao Yu, I’ll leave mission selection to you from now on!”
“Oh!”
Understanding Xiao Yan’s aning, Xiao Yu answered with so helplessness.
A rank-one rcenary group could only take on very simple missions. Most of these were posted by the rcenary Guild itself, not by real clients. Basically, these missions existed to provide welfare to low-level groups—the guild hardly made any profit from them.
After agreeing to Xiao Yan’s request, Xiao Yu worked efficiently and quickly took on five rank-one missions. As long as these five were completed, the points earned would be enough to raise the group to rank two.
Once they reached rank two, they could take on both rank-two and rank-three missions.
A rank-three group could accept missions from rank one to four.
After reaching rank four, a group could take on all missions up to rank six!
“Let’s go. Let’s finish these five rank-one missions as soon as possible!” Xiao Yan glanced at the tasks Xiao Yu had chosen and spoke with confidence. He held the rcenary Guild’s rules and structure in high regard. Xiao Yan was genuinely optimistic about the guild and also quite curious about the founder. What kind of person would have such a grand vision?
Previously, Xiao Yan had always thought the founder must be a mature middle-aged man. But after coming to the guild’s headquarters, he learned that the guild leader was actually a young man who looked only a little over twenty. This discovery made Xiao Yan even more curious.
Rank-one missions included things like gathering dicinal herbs for clients or hunting first-rank magical beasts. So simply listed an item needed—there was a wide variety.
mbers of a rcenary group would naturally consider each mission’s difficulty and potential profit.
If a mission’s value was too low or it was just too much trouble for too little gain, the task would often sit unclaid for a long ti. If the employer didn’t raise the reward after a while, the guild would eventually remove the mission.
After receiving their five rank-one missions, Xiao Yan led Xiao Yu and the others out of the guild headquarters right away.
It only took three days for the Dreamchaser rcenary Group to finish all five tasks. When they returned to the guild, their group was promoted to rank two.
Once they hit rank two, Xiao Yan imdiately had Xiao Yu take on rank-three missions. Given their group’s strength, rank-three tasks weren’t difficult at all. Besides Xiao Yan, there were three other Dou Ling experts in the group. One of them even had a higher cultivation than Xiao Yan, though their true combat ability was much lower.
The points awarded for rank-three missions were much higher than those for rank one. In just half a month, after completing several rank-three missions, the Dreamchaser rcenary Group earned enough points to be promoted to rank three.
After reaching rank three, Xiao Yan and the others started taking on rank-four missions.
The difficulty jumped sharply at this stage. For example, a rank-four mission involving hunting magical beasts required them to take down a fourth-rank beast. Fourth-rank magical beasts were comparable to human Dou Ling cultivators in power, but their physiques were far stronger. In terms of combat ability and endurance, they usually surpassed humans of the sa level.
So, even Xiao Yan needed to treat these missions with caution.
…
“Leader Xiao Yan, this mission is a bit tough. We have to travel five hundred li to the Qishan Mountains and hunt the Frosthorn Giant Ox. That’s a high-level, fourth-rank magical beast!”
After the Dreamchaser rcenary Group took on another hunt for a fourth-rank magical beast, one of the squad leaders voiced his concern.
“It’s fine. That Frosthorn Giant Ox may have thick skin and tough flesh, but it’s not very agile. All our Dou Spirit experts will keep it occupied up close. The rest of the brothers should set up a defensive line at a distance. Use arrows or throwing weapons to attack its weak spots. If we follow this plan, we’ve got a great chance of taking it down!”
Hearing the squad leader’s worry, Xiao Yan analyzed the situation, his face always full of confidence.
Although the Dreamchaser rcenary Group had only been established for just over a month, its growth was extrely fast. From an initial team of fifteen, they had already expanded to more than four hundred mbers. This was with Xiao Yan insisting on keeping the group streamlined—otherwise, the group might have reached over a thousand people by now.
In the rcenary Guild, other rank-three and higher groups had adopted the sa approach as Xiao Yan. They kept their numbers lean, retaining only the core mbers. Those whose strength was much lower would be encouraged to join lower-ranked rcenary groups.
The main reason Xiao Yan chose to accept the Frosthorn Giant Ox mission this ti was the generous reward. It was as if every part of the beast was being sold, and even at a price ten to twenty percent above market value. But that wasn’t the most important thing. What truly attracted Xiao Yan was the large number of points the mission offered. As long as they completed it, the Dreamchaser rcenary Group would be promoted to rank four.
“Alright, since you’re so confident, Leader, we have nothing to worry about!” After hearing Xiao Yan’s analysis, the squad leader no longer had any objections.
“In that case, let’s move out! To the Qishan Mountains!” Xiao Yan shouted.
Under Xiao Yan’s leadership, the group spent several days searching through the Qishan Mountains until they finally tracked down the Frosthorn Giant Ox.
Within the beast’s territory, hardly any other magical beasts dared approach. Due to so special reasons, the Frosthorn Giant Ox wasn’t very fast, which gave the Dreamchaser rcenary Group ti to organize their formation.
At this mont, what appeared before Xiao Yan and the others was a massive creature—its whole body was blue, about five zhang long, and as imposing as a small hill.
