Chapter 434: Peculiar Dawn

Um…

Since you really have to give it to me, I'll reluctantly accept it.

The old scholar said it was a reluctant acceptance.

But his eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed the "wooden carving" before him.

Ding~

Reward obtained: Gold Coin +100000

Su Sheng was dumbfounded.

One hundred thousand Gold Coins!

Although the Gold Coin ratio has slipped a bit, it still stays at about 1 Gold Coin for roughly 80.

8000000R!

Whoa!

This "corpse" is so valuable.

Lin Huan, Bai Pang and the others also stared at Su Sheng in amazement.

They left first, unaware of Su Sheng's later actions.

Is this really okay? Taking the burial treasures from someone's tomb is already enough.

You… even moved the corpse?

But Su Sheng now has no time to attend to their shock.

"Um… um, do you also want the one over at the Fallen Elf Camp? I can go help you bring it back; a lower price wouldn't matter." Su Sheng said, smiling broadly at the old scholar.

This Great Elf is equivalent to a noble rank among humans, valued at one hundred thousand Gold Coins.

The one over at the Fallen Elf Camp, though not a Great Elf, is still an elf noble, so a lower price can be negotiated.

But…

The old scholar, on the contrary, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Um… I've already sent someone," the old scholar said with a chuckle.

"??" Su Sheng was bewildered, thinking the old fellow… wasn't being fair.

Su Sheng was about to continue speaking…

At that moment, the old scholar suddenly looked up: "They're back."

Su Sheng turned his head…

"???"

Only to see the Dream Building Squad, a party of five, entering from outside.

Feelings…

The person the old scholar was looking for turned out to be the Dream Building Squad.

"Mo Wen Chairman?"

"Mo Wen Great Deity?"

?

The members of the Dream Building Squad, upon seeing Su Sheng and the others, were also surprised.

"Chairman Mo Wen, why are you also here?" Zhu Meng Junjie asked curiously.

"Doing a mission…" Su Sheng stared speechlessly at Zhu Meng Junjie in front of him.

Feelings…

The person the old scholar was looking for was them.

This is… truly an Innate Mission Holy Body.

"Alright, you hand over the mission first, and we'll continue our mission as well."

Su Sheng greeted the Dream Building Squad.

Alright then…

The Dream Building Squad took the mission, which counts as keeping it within the group; at least the bounty doesn't go to outsiders.

The Dream Building Squad members stared bewildered as Su Sheng and the others left.

"Captain, why do I feel… Chairman Mo Wen is a bit unhappy?" Zhu Meng Qipaoshui asked, puzzled.

"Is that so? No, right?"

Zhu Meng Junjie hesitated a bit.

"It feels like there is indeed a bit," Zhu Meng Xiao E said, also uncertain.

"Maybe there's something on their mind."

"Fine, let's hand over the mission," Zhu Meng Junjie said, shaking his head.

After more than two hours of tedious courier tasks, the next step should be the final stage of Lin Huan's job transition mission.

We need to go defeat a tree demon.

That tree demon boss will drop an item called "Nature Crystal Core"; with that, Lin Huan's elf bloodline can be fully activated.

Then, one can transition to the new class, Elf Ranger.

However…

When Su Sheng and the others arrived at this spot, they frowned.

Here, the fight is already in full swing.

And the boss…

It's precisely that tree demon.

Su Sheng furrowed his brows; this is the drawback of the mission boss in the wild—the boss might be taken down by others.

Fortunately, this boss should have spawned only when Lin Huan's quest reached this stage.

About a hundred or so people were gathered ahead, entangled in combat with that tree demon.

"Dawn?"

Su Sheng glanced at those players' IDs, his brow lifting.

Then Su Sheng looked toward Lin Huan beside him.

"A small guild, likely an ally following behind Tian Sheng Changge." Lin Huan spoke.

Su Sheng only knew some of the big, well-known guilds.

Zhu Lu had practically become a nationwide game; the domestic server had so many people that the number of big and small guilds was countless.

Even the small guilds in Zhuque City were too many to count.

And Dawn, similar to the previous Fairy Tail, was just a small guild of a few hundred people, possibly just a spontaneous gathering of players, lacking any financial backing.

Dawn this sort of thing, under normal circumstances, simply wasn't qualified to be known by Su Sheng; put another way… a guild worthy of Su Sheng's notice had to be either an enemy or possess some fame of its own.

A guild that Su Sheng could recognize was already a sign of strength…

Usually, Yanhuang affairs are handled by Lin Huan, so he still knows the big and small guilds of Zhuque City.

"How so?"

Lin Huan looked toward Su Sheng.

This tree demon boss is the key to Lin Huan's quest.

Letting it go… is definitely not an option.

Just snatch it outright?

But they only had five people, while the opposing side, although a small guild, still had over a hundred people present.

"Let's negotiate; seeing they're struggling too, we can help fight, but we'll pick one piece of the loot first."

"Your quest items don't count…" Su Sheng spoke.

It seems… a bit… bullying.

But the game itself is essentially a contest.

We can only blame Dawn's bad luck.

Su Sheng immediately strutted over, leading Lin Huan and the others.

The other side immediately spotted Su Sheng's group.

"Mo… Mo Wen Qianchen!"

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

Yanhuang Guild Leader, Mo Wen Qianchen—what a renowned name.

On Dawn's side, things immediately became a bit chaotic.

But…

Su Sheng's gaze, however, turned strange.

This Dawn guild… is rather odd, huh?

Su Sheng lifted his head to look at Lin Huan.

Lin Huan naturally understood what Su Sheng meant, shrugging: "As you can see…"

No wonder, with a few hundred people, the Dawn guild found fighting that tree demon boss so taxing.

Although we don't yet know its exact stats, it seems at most a 50–60 elite-level creature.

Because this is a level‑50 training zone.

If it were Commander Rank, a few hundred people couldn't take it down.

Honestly… the Dawn guild is really an oddball guild.

Earlier, from afar, we hadn't noticed it.

Only upon getting closer did we discover…

The entire Dawn guild has only one profession.

Priest…

Exactly, just Priest.

Although both branches exist, Holy Light Priest and Punishment Priest are both present.

They basically have no one to absorb damage, and their output relies entirely on the Punishment Priest grinding away.

Also fortunate, the tree demon moves slowly, so they've been kiting it the whole time.

"How did they… manage to reach level 40 and come to Main City?" Su Sheng looked bewildered.

A pure Priest guild.

Punishment Priest does have damage, but that's only after reaching level 40 and arriving at Main City, when they can then change class.

A bunch of milk dads, milk mums?

"The Dawn guild, rather than being an independent guild, is more like the second Priest Guild of Tian Sheng Changge."

"Before level 40, they were attached to Tian Sheng Changge's name, all the way to Main City, with many switching to Punishment Priest before becoming independent." Lin Huan replied.

The first time I heard of this Dawn thing, Lin Huan was also a bit curious, so he specifically looked into it.

"May the god… bless (trick) you."

At that moment, a voice sounded.
