Chapter 481: Conclusion and Discussions (1/2)
It's finally done.
After almost a whole day of fighting against the hoards of Imps, the battle was finally over along with the death of the Imp Overlord. The disciples could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The injured were being escorted back to the sect while some of the disciples who still have some fight left in them chased after the retreating wave of smaller Imps. They wanted to cut down their numbers first since they didn't want the Devil's Cradle to be infested by Imps as much as possible.
As majority of the disciples retreated and went back to their bases, another group went outside of the gates. Their duty was to search for intact corpses of Imps, it's fine if it's missing a limb or two, so long as it retains majority of its body, they'll take it back with them.
After some inquiries, the newer disciples found out that these people were doing this in order to use for experiments and such. As for what experiments it will be, they're in no position to know so they just left it like that.
”Alright Unit-17, great work out there. Come, let's huddle for a bit.” Henry clapped his hands and got their attention.
Members of the unit stood up and went closer to him, this includes Raven who just dismounted the construct with great reluctance on his face. Once everyone was gathered, Henry then began his speech.
”What you witnessed and experienced just now is just one of the staple events within Tartarus. You saw how hectic it is and how dangerous it could get, therefore you have to remember to make sure you're prepared.”
”I also said this earlier, this even happens quite frequently. At least five times a year. Additionally, the Eruption only happened in the first floor. Remember that there's multiple floors of the pagoda here, the higher the floor is, the stronger the devils they contain. And even though I said that we are prepared for the worst case scenario, remember that your safety will be determined by your own efforts. Each battle has its own risks, and if you get careless or complacent, then you might end up as a casualty. Keep that in mind.”
”Now, onto the more important topic.” Henry cleared his throat before saying. ”Congratulations Unit-17, compared to the rest of the units I handling, you people were the ones who gave the best performance during your initial hunt. Your rewards are already sent onto your base, make sure to check them out later once you rested enough.”
”Additionally, the Merit Points you earned through killing Imps will be recorded and sent to you later. If you haven't received yours via tomorrow morning, make sure to contact me so that we can solve the problem. The same goes if you think that the Merit Points you received are less than what you were expecting. I left you guys a list of devils and their Merit Point equivalent back at the base, you guys better memorize that and monitor how much points you have.”
”Now, aside from the item rewards, I'll also be bestowing you guys 5,000 Unit Merit Points. I don't need to explain what the Unit Merit Points means right?”
The junior disciples shook their head to this question. Each of them had already read the introductory books and documents of the Ancient Elysium Sect and the matter about the Unit Merit Points were written there.
To put in simpler terms, Unit Merit Points are something that is earned by the team as a whole. They could earn it by doing Missions which specifically required multiple Unit Members to accomplish. Unit Merit Points could be used in multiple ways but the most popular way of using it is by upgrading their base.
Additionally, items and resources that are bought by using Unit Merit Points are properties owned by the Unit as a whole. This means that everyone on the unit could use it if they got permission from their teammates to do so.
”Good. Now that that's out of the way, you guys decide amongst yourselves on how you're going to spend them. Remember that you could always earn more Merit Points by completing a mission. Be wise on how you spend them since you can't return any items once the purchase is made.”
”On to the next point.” Henry cleared his throat once more and said: ”It's time for us to discuss the matter of Bi-Annual Assessment.”
”What's this Bi-annual assessment you ask? Then let me explain.” Henry placed his hands on his back and started explaining. ”Just like how it sounds, every six months your Unit as well as the others, will receive a Unique Mission from me. Depending on how you guys perform, the rewards will vary. But most importantly, if you pass the assessment, then your records will gradually accumulate.”
