April 6th, 2 a.m.

Chun's convoy triumphantly and safely returned to the Lost Paradise mining area. During this journey, Chun found the repairs much easier, but it also meant less skill practice for the Mechanician, leading to a sleepy disposition.

Since the mining prices haven't risen, there's no point in selling the ore, so it's directly stored in the warehouse rented by the guild.

At this moment, Chun truly understands the genius of the Chicago farm owner who invented "futures" as a concept.

Next, there's the settlement of the mining truck rental. The goblin mining trucks won't be able to run a second trip and must return to the factory for major repairs.

Kasha said: "President, now that the guild members are full, we should pick up some guild tasks to level up the guild, so we can recruit more members."

Chun agreed wholeheartedly: "I thought you guys wanted to go to Dream Eden again."

Aimee laughed: "The president is so brave, she couldn't handle a roomful, we thought it was their fault for being useless."

Medusa sighed: "Indeed, the Earth Body lasts longer..."

Julia sighed: "I thought my suction was strong, but didn't expect..."

Holy shit, each of you possesses unique skills, huh?

Alright, it's my fault; I shouldn't have brought up Dream Eden, triggering their keyword library!

Chun hurriedly changed the topic: "We are driven by entrepreneurship, the Demon's greed is our endless motivation..."

Kasha raised the previous issue: "Explosive, this size isn't convenient for city entry, how do we plan?"

Aimee said seriously: "Although its Super Divine Artifact is bound, it might still attract the covetous eyes of city elites; it's better to stay in the warehouse with the ore, right?"

Chun was genuinely worried; might they snatch the dragon and necklace together, forcibly signing a contract? If so, wouldn't the Azazel Race step up to protect me?

The Volcano Dragon agreed immediately: "Alright!"

Only, before the Volcano Dragon's advancement, it eats sulfur, together with the purple crystal ore in the same place—forget it, if it eats it, just count it as its wage.

Finally, forcibly waking Shoe Angel up: "Go home and rest!"

Shoe Angel yawned: "I'm fine... don't worry about me!"

Alright, let him stagger and follow along.

The group arrived at the guild headquarters, checked guild tasks, and suddenly discovered a striking S-level wanted task at the top: "Defeat the Fire Abyss Six-headed Serpent, bounty Earth Crystal Core." Reward: 10,000 Privilege Points.

Holy shit, this is too coincidental, the leader just mentioned the Volcano Dragon should go here, and the task appeared immediately!

Wait! Privilege Points? Then this task was issued by the powerful Uriel! He's been dealing with the Six-headed Serpent with such a huge setup and can't handle it?

Seeing the use of Privilege Points, Chun was completely stunned; not only can they exchange for various scarce resources, but players can greatly mobilize NPCs!

So, that's why Sariel could mobilize the warship from Silver City!

This task has to be done; with 10,000 Privilege Points, repaying debts will be easy. No, of course, I'll make President Sister kowtow! No, anyway, she's one of us and can't run away.

Of course, we should recruit more laid-off Guardian Gods, whatever rank they are, they'll have to come and work.

——System prompt: You accepted the S-level guild wanted task...

Thinking of the big consortium bosses who've been here, Chun dared not linger, leading them away.

At this moment, Dark Elf Olka called out: "President, there's another guild task en route, worth considering."

Oh! I panicked.

Check the task: S-level "Escort a shipment of Art Crystal Pot to Black Dragon Fortress to meet Black Dragon Lord Artistutaia", task reward: 100,000 Mining Coins, Black Dragon Fortress reputation, cargo value 1 million. Warning! This item is fragile, any damage will incur guild compensation, lowering guild reputation.

...

Ugh~

Honestly, Chun learned from a first-floor god during the beta test that escort tasks inevitably involve fights. But this reward and compensation aren't worth it! Also, merely 100,000 Mining Coins for an S-level task? Is the Black Dragon Fortress reputation really that valuable?

Chun wanted to ask the attendant clearly: "Why is this task S-level?"

The attendant smiled: "Because no guild wanted to do it, so the time piled up, naturally becoming S-level."

Eh? This is just like how Sherry said if nobody kills Old Whale, the task difficulty naturally rises to S-level.

Chun asked again: "Why not increase the bounty, then?"

The attendant smiled awkwardly: "Black Dragon Lord Artistutaia's personality, everyone knows, loves money very much..."

Indeed, dragons are renowned for being greedy. But it might not be a con game; any guild that takes it will surely face fierce Black Dragon bandits, smashing and extorting compensation...

Chun felt the risk was too high to take it: "What does everyone think?"

Except Olka, everyone shook their heads.

Chun suddenly realized, why is the usually quiet Dark Elf suddenly urging me to do a task? Normally, this kind of reminder is Aimee's specialty!

Triggered a Dark Elf event! Previously, when she and I were alone, she said if I had time, I should visit the Black Hand Bar in Dark Elf City. Now, this is the second event!

Chun asked again: "If we gather the guild's full strength, is there a chance to complete it?"

All the ladies hesitated again: "Well..."

But Olka spoke up: "President, this is a great chance to witness the Volcano Dragon and the three Guardian Gods of the Fallen Angel's strength, isn't it?"

She clearly is pushing for this task! It's said part of the Dark Elf world worships the Black Dragon God, so this Black Dragon Lord is very important to her?

Chun decided: "I also want to know the strength of the Wine Angel and Plague Angel!"

The ladies laughed: "Alright, president should call them in the channel! Surely, after going out to mine for these hours, they should be finished."

Guild channel [Chun]: Wine Angel, Plague Angel, there's a very important guild task...

Guild channel [Wine Angel]: Great! Haven't had a fight in a while; let me prepare for ten minutes, let the president and ladies witness my strength.

Guild channel [Plague Angel]: Alright! Give me ten minutes as well, I'll fill some poison gas bombs, then wait for you on the road outside the city...

My dear heart is playing with filling poison gas bombs? Feels like it pairs well with my main Cleaner Fish filling Purification Technique!

In any case, take the task!

Then transported into the guild warehouse, still a floating mining cart bound with dozens of sealed boxes of goods.

If it was a con game, is it possible there's already broken stuff inside?

Chun asked the attendant for verification: "I request to inspect the goods!"

The attendant was surprised: "President, these are already sealed, are you questioning the guild's reputation?"

I trust Hell's reputation alright!

Chun, impoverished with only 10,000 left, tried giving a 100 tip: "It's just been too long, afraid something might happen!"

The attendant sneered: "100, who do you look down on? Anyway, after inspection, you'll have to re-seal, re-seal fee 1000!"

Holy shit! He's not taking a small tip, reasonably asking for a hefty fee...
