87: The Invincible Decision

This was a regional System notification; only players within the area could receive it.

In other words, this was a regional announcement issued by the City Lord's Mansion of Xuanwu City.

As soon as this announcement came out, it immediately attracted countless players within Xuanwu City.

Those farming mobs or doing quests began to pour into Xuanwu City as players notified one another.

"What's the situation? Why was an announcement suddenly released?"

"I don't know. Didn't it say there's a major quest? There are so many people."

"I know where the bulletin board is; it's in the Central Square. But there are too many people now, I can't squeeze in."

"Are there any changes in the other main cities?"

"I asked my friends in other main cities, and they don't know anything about this. It seems it's only happening in Xuanwu City. Hurry up and go take a look."

Millions of confused players frantically flooded into the Central Square. For a moment, the crowd was so dense that it was impossible to tell who was who.

Meanwhile, many members of the two largest guilds in Xuanwu City, the Feng Yun Guild and the Overlord Guild, were also in the Central Square.

When they looked at the bulletin board, they all gasped in unison.

Bounty quest: Overseeing War Preparations.

Rank: Five-star!

quest Requirements: Join the Xuanwu City faction, wipe out the bandits, and perform military exploits for Xuanwu City. The exploit points are related to the number of bandits killed.

quest Reward: Exploit Point Exchange List.

quest Penalty: None.

The bounty quest seemed very simple, but what was truly surprising were the rewards on the exploit point exchange list.

King-rank Class Change: 1,000,000 exploit points each.

gold legendary equipment (individual pieces): 200,000 exploit points each.

Advanced purple rare set: 100,000 exploit points per set.

Advanced purple class-specific rare weapon: 50,000 exploit points each.

free attribute points: 1,000 exploit points per point.

Random class common Skill Book: 5,000 exploit points each... Looking at the diverse and dazzling exchange list, everything from King-rank class changes to attribute points, Skill Books, and gold coins could be exchanged using exploit points.

Not to mention the equipment; even gold legendary equipment had appeared, along with purple rare sets, Advanced rare weapons, and so on. These were absolute powerhouses for the current stage!

The City Lord of Xuanwu City was actually so generous, suddenly giving the players of Xuanwu City such a massive gift?

In an instant, all the players who saw the news were shocked, and the word continued to spread.

Overlord Guild, offline meeting room.

Having received the news immediately, Overlord Invincible called a meeting right away.

"Brothers, the time to make a comeback has arrived!!"

Overlord Invincible, who had been beaten half to death by Lin Yue, now had eyes gleaming brightly. This was truly like being offered a pillow just as one felt drowsy; the City Lord of Xuanwu City was giving him exactly what he lacked most.

"We must take this bounty quest and accumulate exploit points as quickly as possible. Once we've reaped enough benefits from this wave, we'll not only recover our losses but also reach new heights."

Overlord Invincible's words hit the nail on the head, causing a stir in the meeting room.

"Young Lord, this quest is indeed very suitable for our guild, but we aren't the only club in Xuanwu City."

Overlord Savage Bull was the first to stand up, speaking with a long face.

"That's right, Young Lord. There's also the Fengyun Club, whose strength is similar to ours, and many second-tier guilds that shouldn't be underestimated either."

Another guild manager chimed in.

"None of that matters. I've looked into the Fengyun Club; their strength is decent, but in terms of combat power, we still have the edge. As for the other second-tier guilds, they're not even worth mentioning. Whoever dares to snatch exploit points from us, we'll deal with them until they give up."

Overlord Invincible knew this was an opportunity—a chance to let the Ba Tian Group's stock, which had been battered by the White Emperor, recover.

He couldn't give up this meat delivered right to his doorstep.

"But... Young Lord!"

Overlord Savage Bull gritted his teeth and looked at Overlord Invincible. Now that Divine Bow was gone, he had become the one to stick his neck out.

"Spit it out!"

Overlord Invincible was already very impatient and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"What about the White Emperor? Will he really let us farm exploit points so easily?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Overlord Invincible felt like he had a lump in his throat. His eyes bulged as he glared at Overlord Savage Bull. It was fine as long as the White Emperor wasn't mentioned, but the mere mention of the name gave Overlord Invincible chest pains.

He thought of the slap from his father and the two billion in capital that was currently tied up and lost.

"If you don't talk, nobody will think you're a mute."

Tyrant Fire hurriedly pulled Overlord Savage Bull down. Saying such things at a time like this, was he really not afraid of being beaten to death by Overlord Invincible?

"I didn't want to say it either, but everyone has really been scared witless by the White Emperor this time. If the White Emperor really comes after us everywhere, we won't be able to take it."

Overlord Savage Bull looked as aggrieved as a child, speaking his mind despite Tyrant Fire's attempts to stop him.

"Fine, fine, fine. You all think so, don't you? Do you really think the Ba Tian Group is a pushover?"

Overlord Invincible clenched his fist and slammed it down hard, his gaze sweeping across the room.

Everyone bowed their heads under Overlord Invincible's gaze, not daring to look up. The entire meeting room was silent; not a single voice of dissent dared to surface.

After a long time, Overlord Invincible took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I've decided. To help everyone cheer up, I will personally go to the group to borrow another two billion and sink it into the Land of the Final End!"

"I'll recruit more people, expand our strength, and give everyone another round of benefits. If the money isn't enough, I'll pay out of my own pocket!"

"This time, I refuse to believe that the White Emperor can actually kill every single member of our Overlord Guild!"

Boom!

Overlord Invincible's words caused everyone in the meeting room to explode with shock.

Invest another two billion?

Is he really not afraid of running the group into the ground in one go?

"Young Lord..."

Tyrant Fire's lips were parched; he wanted to try and persuade him further.

After all, Overlord Invincible's family only owned forty percent of the group's shares. Asking the group to invest another two billion would likely come at a very high price!

"Say no more. My mind is made up. We absolutely cannot admit defeat like this; otherwise, there will be no place for my Overlord Guild in the Land of the Final End in the future."

Overlord Invincible reached out to interrupt his uncle. He knew this was risky.

But he had no choice. If he didn't take this opportunity to stabilize their strength, all the previous investments would go down the drain, leading to a slow death anyway.

Only if the Overlord Guild's overall strength increased could the lost money be earned back, and the White Emperor might not necessarily be able to deal with the Overlord Guild then.

Seeing Overlord Invincible's determination, the passion of the higher-ups seemed to be ignited as well, and they all voiced their agreement.

On the other side, Lin Yue already knew the contents of the bulletin board's quest.

With a smile on his face, he arrived at the headquarters of Feng Yun, Young Master Leng's guild. Feng Yun, Young Master Leng came out to greet him early.

"White Emperor Boss, you've finally arrived. I've sold the guild establishment tokens just as you said. There's one left, specifically reserved for the Overlord Guild."

"Mm, what did they say?"

Lin Yue nodded and asked with a smile.

"Three hundred million, deal!"

Feng Yun, Young Master Leng also followed with a devious smile.
