Chapter 417: Harvest
Date- 28 Mar 2321
Time- 7:35
Location- Way Beyond, Madame Web’s Unknown underground safe house.
“Senior Shota, you’re the last one.” Flower thief invited Shota to step forward and enter Ocean Mask’s mouth.
“Finally, it is my turn to get out of this h.e.l.l hole.” Saying that, Shota offered himself to Ocean Mask. As the acting Commander of the survivors, Shota chose to go last to stay and help maintain the order in the safe house.
Soon Shota was swallowed by Ocean Mask, and after a few seconds, Sniper and the other teammates came out of the stomach s.p.a.ce of Ocean Mask after killing Shota. Despite killing 100 card apprentices in a narrow area like Ocean Mask’s stomach, not a drop of blood could be seen on the three.
“Well, this is disappointing. It took us nearly half an hour to decapitate 100 unsuspecting card apprentices.” Coming out of the Ocean mask, Sniper complained that killing 100 unsuspecting card apprentices took more time than he had expected.
“Those 100 card apprentices were of Card Emperors and False DemiG.o.ds realm. Killing 100 of them under 30 minutes should make a sort of world record, and here you are complaining about it.” Flower Thief exaggerated.
“Forget about that. Did you guys properly harvest the Ego gems and the incomplete Divinity from their severed heads? And did you guys store them appropriately? This is the primary goal of our mission. If you screw this up, then no place in the world can save us from the Wrath of Madame Web.” Gray fur reminded Sniper to focus on the mission’s primary objective instead of unimportant stuff. And checked whether the harvested Ego Gems and Incomplete Divinity were stored with appropriate care.
“Yes, please do not worry. This time the reward offered for the mission is so appetizing that there is no way I will risk losing the bonus by s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g this up with my carelessness.” Sniper a.s.sured Gray Fur that the rewards promised by Madame Web were worthy of him being at his best behavior.
And turning to Flower Thief, he exclaimed in jealousy, “Rookie, you were made a killing in your first mission. Not only will you be given the first pick in the rules and rules we collected today, but you will also be awarded a False divinity. This never in the history of Madame Web Club did a Rookie gain such rewards. With these rewards, you can soon break through to the Card demiG.o.d realm.”
“Sniper, where is your grat.i.tude? If not for the Rookie and his Origin card, we would not have gotten such an opportunity. He is our team’s mascot. You better treat him properly as long as he is in our group. We will keep getting such simple tasks with tremendous rewards. And why are you whining? All of us are being awarded an incomplete divinity. So we all can soon break through to the card emperor realm.
I will make a report to Madame Web, and then we can leave this place before the southern watch raids it.” Grey fur stood up for Flower Thief as he knew Flower thief’s origin card was why they made a killing today.
…
“h.e.l.lo, Madame. Mission Accomplished. Where do we deliver the goods and collect our rewards? The usual place.” Gray fur called Sansa and reported the successful completion of the mission’s primary goal and asked where to deliver the harvested Ego Gems and Incomplete divinities.
“No, the usual place is for ordinary members. You and your team have been promoted to True membership. First, head back to the central region, then I will text you the location of the mission item drop-point and your reward pick-up point. Once you get your rewards, all of you hurry to make a breakthrough. Due to a recent tragedy, our club is in need of more capable False DemiG.o.d members.” Sansa prompted Gray fur and his steam and encouraged them to break through and become a false demiG.o.d.
Due to the failure of the ambush planned on the Royal family, Sansa was set to lose a lot of Card emperors and False demiG.o.d slaves. This did not bother Sansa, as she could create as many memory slaves as she wished. But she had spent a lot of precious resources on each of these slaves. It would take here nearly a decade of hard work to once again acc.u.mulate that amount of rare resources. Therefore, when Sansa heard of the survivors. She concocted a plan to kill them all and harvest the resources spent on them from their corpse.
The members that were sent to ambush the Heatsend Royal family had made a ma.s.sive bladder by being marked by Supreme beings. They all would be hunted down by the Royal family or the Supreme Being itself. One way or the other, they would all die. So, Sansa planned to kill them herself and harvest her investment in them.
Sansa could have just used her Origin card to turn all of them into a memoryless brain dead fool. But that would cause a lot of noise and may attract the dogs of southern watch crawling all over that place. Even if she manages to kill them all peacefully, who will harvest the ego gem and incomplete divinity? So, to be on the safer side, Sansa decided to send Gray Fur and his team. With the capability of Flower Thief’s origin card, her objective can be achieved smoothly without attracting any attention.
Flower thief’s card was very resourceful, and it has proved to be so in the recent missions. Therefore Sansa wanted to make her control over him more powerful. Therefore despite him being a rookie, Sansa decided to go against the rules she had set and award him with enough resources to break through to the Card demiG.o.d realm, and thanks to the baptism that came with his breakthrough, her hold on him would increase. This way, not only would Flower Thief become a more obedient slave, and his power would have grown enough to be a treat to a True Card DemiG.o.d. With one stone, she would have killed two birds.
“Your wish is our command. your highness.” Gray Fur humbly replied and appreciated Madame Web’s words of encouragement.
“Good” after that one syllable Sansa hung up the call. The ambush on the Heatsend Royal family was an utter failure. Her plans were bound to face a setback for a while. Still, she was able to manage and minimize the loss that she would have suffered from this ordeal.
…
“You heard her, boys. Let’s go.” With that, Gray fur and his team entered the stomach of Ocean mask and headed out of Way beyond.
