Chapter 930 – Joint Missions
Star Group.
"I've made the list for you. You can choose which one to exchange, and we'll separate them."
Now that Theo had reached the Star Group, he immediately exchanged all the loot he had got from the other side. Of course, Theo had prepared an answer for this.
"I don't mind exchanging everything except the Skill Cards."
"Ah." The employee nodded, realizing Theo had no problems with money. Normally, they would only exchange forty percent of their loots because they needed money to take care of their basic needs as well as other stuff unrelated to their profession. "I understand. I shall remove them and transfer the Star Points immediately."
"Alright. Thank you." Theo nodded and sat down in the lobby, waiting for him to finish.
While waiting, he closed his eyes for a moment so that the wait wouldn't be that boring.
After a while, the employee returned and handed him his badge. "You have killed 141 flying frogs, which gives you 257 million Star Points. In addition, your contribution in killing the flying frog king is 200 million Star Points.
"As for the Materials Cards you have with you, they are worth 390 million Star Points. In total, you get 847 million Star Points."
"Less than a billion, huh…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows. If he exchanged his skills as well, he would reach the one billion mark, but the Skill Cards were important for his growth since upgrading his skill took priority.
In fact, he had gathered so many Skill Cards that he might be able to sell all of them for around two billion.
"Alright. Thank you." Theo nodded and put his Star Badge back, waiting for the appointment.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Bernard's voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
"Not even a billion? You are worse than I thought."
"…" Theo's eyebrows twitched.
It was clear Bernard was trying to tease him because he held a grudge. Since he was in front of the employee, Theo couldn't talk back, or more rumors about him would appear.
Theo restrained himself and politely greeted him. "It's been a while since we last met, Mr. Bernard."
Bernard paused for a moment and looked into his eyes before clicking his tongue. "Let's talk in my office."
"Understood."
The two exchanged a nod and walked to Bernard's office.
The moment he entered his office, Bernard sat down on his chair and wore a nonchalant expression. "This sucks…"
"What?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.
"The beggars… I just got a call from their boss to tell him your identity. Those who watched you earlier must have reported our call to their boss."
"So, you gave him my information?"
"Obviously not. They can search all they want; I don't really care. It's just… you'll be in this situation for another month."
"That won't be a problem since I'm not planning to leave the mansion." Theo shook his head.
"Yeah, I know. But the fact they're trying to end the investigation as soon as possible by contacting me means you're their priority right now. They might be able to find something big…"
"As long as it's not something related to my real identity."
"Don't worry. No one knows about that other than us." Bernard sighed. "Anyway, the special occasions I told you about earlier are about joint missions."
"Joint missions?"
"Yeah. You should still remember about the time you group up with the Russia Team to go inside the Dark Poison Swamp, right?"
"Indeed. Isn't this considered a mission from the Star Group?"
"It's not…" Bernard shook his head. "…for one big reason. Because this time, the Star Group can't monopolize that area like the War God Family. Instead, it will be free for all. Anyone who has strength can enter… And I believe thousands of people will participate in this."
"That many?"
"Yep. I will give you an example of a place like this. In the south, you will find a sea. If you go a bit further, you will find an island that will come out of the sea every five years."
"For real?"
"It's a combination of magical stuff the other side has and seismic activities. Either way, this island is so huge that even thousands of people won't make it crowded."
"But why should I go there?"
"Because that island is rumored to be Atlantis."
"The legendary Atlantis?"
"Yeah. There are many mysterious items on that island you might probably want to get…"
"Hmm? Something like artifacts?"
"Herbs, artifacts… Anything to increase your attribute points."
"But won't it be monopolized by Mythical Rank Experts?" Theo asked, feeling something was wrong.
"If only it's that easy… You literally need to cross the sea, you know."
"Yeah. Mythical Rank Experts shouldn't have any problems."
"No. Mythical Rank Experts are excreting more Magic Power than Supreme Rank Experts… It's so intense that it disturbs the living creatures in the sea. Every time a Mythical Rank Expert flies across the sea, they will be attacked by many Mythical Rank Monsters and… you know."
Theo narrowed his eyes. "Then, is it fine for Supreme Rank Experts? We're weaker than them."
"Yes and no. You can cross it, but it's not that safe either. You might get attacked… but the chance is less than Mythical Rank Experts. Those Mythical Rank Monsters are living in the deep area, so with the Magic Power you naturally release, it won't reach that level."
"Only Supreme Rank Monsters or below who live near the surface, huh… It's dangerous but feasible." Theo narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah. But the stuff you can find on that island is good… High reward and high return stuff like that… Also, the land around us is a bit special. In the north, there's a place with a tree that shoots up to the sky. People call it the World Tree. It's protected by multiple King Class Monsters. So… yeah, it's an opportunity that you don't want to miss."
"Fair enough. If you eat all the things you found there, you are not obligated to share it with outsiders when you return."
"Yep. Just increase your power as much as possible in that place. Well, the island will appear in two years… There is another place that will be unsealed in a few months. I'm afraid you are going to…"
"I see. I understand that. Just give me the information, and I will see whether I want to participate or not."
"Sure enough." Bernard nodded in agreement before asking, "Anyway, what do you want to ask me?"
When he heard that question, Theo suddenly fell silent, hesitating.
