290 The Last Straw (1/2)
All four strongest guilds in Dawnlight City had gotten together after Han Tianyu vocally expressed his agreement in joining forces with the three guild alliance. Naturally, all other smaller guilds agreed to join forces as well.
”Tell me, what is your current progress?” asked Han Tianyu.
”Currently, we have completed all miscellaneous fetching quests. The last step would be to submit the materials,” said Daemon's Grimace.
”The quest will be simple. Go to the NPC and receive the quest. Submit the materials to the NPC. At the cost of the materials, the NPC will grant experience points and even Level 30 Green tier equipment!” Lady Casanova added.
”Hm.” Han Tianyu nodded, but Jiang Fei started to frown.
Based on what Lady Casanova had just said, Jiang Fei could predict that ”repairing” the Teleportation Circle would require an absurdly large amount of materials. The worst part was the fact that the materials needed for the Teleportation Circle restoration were the same as the one used for Territory building. If all of Dawnlight City participated in this quest, the price of the materials would surely increase. There would be cases where prices some of the rarer materials would be so high that money simply could not buy. All was for the sake of easy experience points and equipment. In the end, Jiang Fei could see the negative effect on him. All of this mess with the Teleportation Circle would disturb the flow of materials to his own Territory building.
'Sh*t. Could the three guild alliance have purposely initiated the quest just to slow down my territory building?' Jiang Fei wondered to himself. If that was the case, that must mean that the three guild alliance must be at their wits' end. They must have thought it well since Jiang Fei was greatly affected.
The truth was that Jiang Fei was just overthinking. Even though Empyreal Dragon had just started their Territory construction, his guild was very small even though Jiang Fei had given the permission to Rosette Rose to start recruiting members. Hence, due to his guild size, the three guild alliance was not targeting him. Jiang Fei was merely caught in the line of fire. In fact, the three guild alliance had no idea that the material requirement for the quest was the same as what was needed for a Territory construction. After all, they had never been able to obtain a Territory Order. The incident with Jiang Fei was completely accidental.
At the beginning of the quest, the three guild alliance wanted to claim the quest reward for themselves. However, they had failed to predict that the material cost would be too much for them to bear. They did not have powerful support or resources stocked up. After everything had been done and spent, the quest could not be completed. Hence, they had resorted to open the quest to everything, allowing the whole of Dawnlight City to share the benefit. If they could have done it alone, they would never have shared this benefit, especially since the NPC was located at their pseudo-territory.
”Brother Glider, I'm sorry but we might have to stop the support of material for your cause.”
As expected, Happy Drunk had wanted nothing more for the wellbeing of his guild. Since the reward was good, luxurious equipment and abundant of experience points were just too good to be ignored.
Every tenth submission of a material was considered one round and each round of submission would be rewarded with a Level 30 Green grade equipment. As such, the reward had its value and even though it was just a Green grade, it was valuable to everyone other than Jiang Fei. Not everyone had a full gear of Violet and Golden grade equipment.
Even the elite party of the Aristocrats was a mixture of Green and Blue and most of them were either Level 30 or below. Happy Drunk could not afford to allow his guild to fall behind in the race of power especially since the quest was opened to the public.
