Chapter 1135 – Flawless
After the Warrior got on the stage, he looked at Zhao Hai quietly for a while. Then he said, "Zhao Hai, you"re strong, very strong. But I"m not weak either. You"ve gotten arrogant. Refusing to use any weapon will be your biggest undoing. You should know that this is no longer the lower realms. Mages who don"t use weapons will not have any achievements, even if you are a genius."
Zhao Hai just listened to the Warrior from the Wicked Symbol Camp. Then after the Warrior stopped talking, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I"m not refusing to use my weapon. But your strength is not enough for me to take it out."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, the Warrior couldn"t help but stare. His expression sunk, then he said, "Well then, let me make my move!" He raised his spear up and readied to attack.
When he saw this, Zhao Hai calmly waved his hand and muttered, "s.h.i.+eld" Along with his words, a s.h.i.+eld appeared in front of him. This s.h.i.+eld wasn"t as thick as a five-layer formation s.h.i.+eld, but it still didn"t look weak.
The Warrior from the Wicked Symbol Camp sneered, then he thrust his spear forward, aiming towards Zhao Hai"s s.h.i.+eld. What he released was still sword qi. Sword Qi was just a general description, therefore it was used whenever a Warrior in the Machine Field released an attack.
Zhao Hai just stood behind his s.h.i.+eld and greeted the attack with a smile. The attack didn"t even budge the s.h.i.+eld, there was no movement at all. When the Warrior from the Wicked Symbol Camp saw this, he couldn"t help but stare. At this time, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him, "Spear!" He turned around since he felt a sharp chill behind his neck. He knew very well that the opponent had a weapon pointed at his back. If he dared to move, then the other side wouldn"t mind attacking.
The Warrior from the Wicked Symbol Camp immediately held his hands up and said, "Alright, I admit defeat." When he said that, Zhao Hai withdrew his magic. Then his body flashed back to the front of the Warrior "I accept."
The Warrior from the Wicked Character camp muttered, "So this is Zhao Hai." As he said that, he proceeded to head down from the stage.
Zhao Hai stayed on the stage and didn"t say anything. At this time, the eight remaining partic.i.p.ants looked at each other. They seem to not know what to do.
Those watching at the side could see everything that happened. Zhao Hai just used two ordinary spells. One was a metal element s.h.i.+eld while the other was actually a dark element spell.
Zhao Hai used his s.h.i.+eld in order to distract his opponent. Then he used dark magic to attack the enemy with a spear from behind.
The entire process could be said to be very simple. However, this was the hardest thing a Mage could do when fighting.
All battles couldn"t last for too long. Even wars.h.i.+ps have reactor furnaces that needed fuel. And this fuel was limited, placing a time limit on how long a wars.h.i.+p could fight.
Experts were the same. Whether they be Mages or Warriors, their battle qi and spiritual force could run out. Because of this, they couldn"t fight for a long time. A good example of this was Zhao Hai and Addison"s fight, both of them almost killed themselves from exhaustion.
When the Warrior from the Wicked Symbol Camp left the stage, the others were at a loss for a while. Although the fight wasn"t short, it wasn"t as long as they expected either.
They already knew that Zhao Hai was strong, so they intend to have the first person consume his spiritual force. But now, it seems like this plan was useless. This caused the other challengers to be clueless about what to do.
Even if the challengers were stunned, this didn"t mean that time wasn"t counting down. The computer began to count down from 1000 once more. If n.o.body issued a challenge by the time the computer finished counting down, then Zhao Hai would be the champion.
The timer continued to count down. However, the eight challengers below the stage were still looking at each other in dismay, which was the same situation they were in at the beginning.
Cadjo couldn"t help but commend Zhao Hai in his mind. Zhao Hai"s first victory was so flawless. Not only had it ended swiftly, it was also so clean and neat which caused a lot of pressure on the other challengers. Now, they need to think deeply about challenging Zhao Hai.
Ii can be said that Zhao Hai used this tactic to gain time for himself. It could also be a tactic to put pressure on the next challenger.
Calm! Terrifying calmness! This was Cadjo"s appraisal of Zhao Hai. Although the fight looked simple, Cadjo saw something different.
The challenge tournament could be said to be an unfair compet.i.tion. The person on the stage would be repeatedly challenged by multiple people, wearing him out in the process. Therefore, the first person on the stage would generally be in the worst situation while the last man would benefit from it all.
However, Zhao Hai had been too calm in his first challenge battle. In turn, this created a huge pressure on the next challengers, causing them to hesitate. This allowed Zhao Hai more time to himself. This was the best method for someone who wanted to survive a situation that was designed to wear them down.
Finally, when the computer counted down to 200, the second challenger went up on stage. This person was also from the Wicked Symbol Camp. The Ghost Symbol Camp and the Wicked Symbol Camp both had two contestants in the challenge tournament. Now, both of the Wicked Symbol Camp"s partic.i.p.ants have gone to the stage.
To be honest, Zhao Hai didn"t dislike the people from the Wicked Symbol Camp. In fact, he didn"t care about the people from the other camps. He wasn"t even resentful towards the Ghost Symbol Camp. It was only those who wanted to kill him that he needed to kill.
The person from the wicked Symbol Camp was also a Warrior. His weapon was a normal two-handed broadsword. When he got up on the stage, he pulled his sword out and calmly looked at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai saw that the other party seems to be disinterested in talking, so he decided to stay silent. He just gave the other person a bow and then gestured to begin.
The Warrior was still intently looking at Zhao Hai and didn’t issue any response. When he saw this, Zhao Hai decided to make the first move. He waved his hand and released a magic formation. A spear began to depart from the formation and went directly towards the enemy.
The Warrior just stood there and didn"t have any intention to escape. When the spear was close to hitting him, his swung his sword and sent a sword qi out.
Zhao Hai has to recognize that the Machine Field"s metal element magic had very strong attacking strength. Although his spear couldn"t compare to the enemy Warrior"s sword qi, its might was equivalent to a level 1 Warrior. Seeing the enemy parry the spear effortlessly, Zhao Hai knew that the other was certainly an expert.
Zhao Hai"s two eyes narrowed. He knew what the other party was planning to do. They were planning to hold on as long as possible to consume Zhao Hai"s energy. However, Zhao Hai didn"t care, he just waved his hand and released a fireball towards the Warrior.
The Warrior lit up with earth yellow battle qi. His broadsword also turned earth yellow before it sliced a fireball. But at the same time, Zhao Hai released a five-layer formation. However, this formation wasn"t like other attacking formations.
Most attacking formations would release an attack towards the enemy. On the other hand, this formation would make the Warrior from the Wicked Symbol Camp sink into the stage.
When the Warrior saw this formation, he couldn"t help but stare. He could identify that this was an earth element formation. However, the life and death stage was made out of metal. How could this earth element magic be useful?
When while he was puzzled, the Warrior suddenly felt the iron underneath his foot turn into quicksand, making his body sink down.
The Warrior was startled. He couldn"t understand how Zhao Hai"s spell could turn the metal stage into quicksand. However, he wasn"t given time to think about this. The Warrior exerted his energy to fly out. But at this moment, the quicksand suddenly turned into a bed of thorns. It was actually a combined formation.
Just after the Warrior managed to fly out, the earth below him began to rumble. Then a huge metal thorn began to fly out, shooting towards the Warrior.
The Warrior was greatly surprised. But just as he was about to take action, he discovered that it was already too late. Zhao Hai just released a 10-layer formation, the fiery arrow rain!
This arrow rain was the same formation Zhao Hai used against Luo Zhi. Because of this, the Warrior was aware of its might. Seeing that Zhao Hai was about to activate the formation, the Warrior quickly raised his hand and said, "I admit defeat!"
Just as the Warrior"s voice fell, Zhao Hai withdrew the formation. The life and death arena returned to its calm. The Warrior bowed to Zhao Hai and proceeded to get down from the arena.
Zhao Hai just stood there waiting for the next match. But this time, he didn"t need to wait too long. The other partic.i.p.ants seem to realize that waiting too long would only be beneficial to Zhao Hai. Because of this, another challenger immediately jumped on the stage. This time, it was a Mage from the Ghost Symbol Camp.
The proceeding battle didn"t have any suspense. Although the Mage had a staff with a 10-layer formation inside, it still wasn"t a threat to Zhao Hai. After all, a recorded formation wasn"t part of a Mage"s strength. Everything still depended on a person"s combat ability!
Chapter 1136 – Not Too Difficult
No accidents happened in the challenge tournament. With Zhao Hai"s overwhelming strength, he was able to become the last person up on the stage.
The challenge tournament allowed the Ashley Family"s External Hall Camps to see Zhao Hai"s strength. Without using any weapons nor supporting items, he was able to win against nine challengers. This was a first time for the Ashley Family"s qualifiers.
Right after the tournament was the awarding ceremony, held on the life and death stage. Thunder personally gave the prize to Zhao Hai. Actually, the prize was just a formality. Zhao Hai already had Liquid Silver, so he really didn"t need anything. However, it can be seen the Margaret had some influence on Thunder. Therefore, Thunder decided to give something to Zhao Hai. And the prize was also somewhat special. The first part of the prize was a sizeable bonus. While the second part wasn"t actually an item. Instead, it was a chip that recorded the Ashley Family"s secret formation sets.
This reward was proposed by Desbarres. And Thunder didn"t have any problem with it. In Thunder"s mind, Zhao Hai was already set to be a person of the Ashley Family. Zhao Hai was a member of the Bone Symbol Camp. At the same time, he had his relations.h.i.+p with Margaret.
Besides these two things, there was another reason for Thunder to give Zhao Hai the family"s formation sets. Since he was given the family"s formation sets, Zhao Hai could no longer think about leaving the Ashley Family. If he did, whether it be for Liquid Silver or the formation sets, Thunder would use the Ashley Family"s entire strength to destroy him.
Zhao Hai also understood Thunder"s message. Therefore, he wasn"t too polite and happily accepted the chip. And thus, the Ashley Family"s qualifiers was done.
As soon as the ceremony ended, instead of returning to the Bone Symbol Camp to celebrate with Tao w.a.n.g and Tie Sheng, Zhao Hai went with Desbarres to see Thunder.
Thunder received Zhao Hai inside his study. After Zhao Hai and Desbarres entered the room, they quickly gave Thunder a salute. Thunder nodded, then he waved his hand and said, "Sit." Desbarres allowed Zhao Hai to sit. Thunder stood there and sized Zhao Hai up. After some time, he opened his mouth and said, "I heard that you"ve been very close with Margaret?"
Zhao Hai couldn"t help but stare. He didn"t expect Thunder to be this direct. But he still nodded and said, "I am. Miss Margaret is my Instructor, and our relations.h.i.+p is very good."
Thunder raised his brows and asked, "Just your instructor?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Not just an instructor. I"ve come to care about Miss Margaret, she"s a precious friend."
Thunder"s eyes sparkled for a moment and asked, "So just a friend?"
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "She"s just a friend now. But as for later on, who knows."
Thunder looked at Zhao Hai"s expression and couldn"t help but laugh, "Good. Kid, I didn"t expect you to say that. Hahaha. Good."
Zhao Hai didn"t make any noise. Desbarres turned to Thunder and said, "Young Master" Thunder looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I"ll allow you to be close with Margaret. However, I have a request."
As he said that, Thunder’s gaze went cold, then he continued, "You got your hands on Grandmaster Leng Wuyeng"s ultimate weapon. And at the same time, you have the secret formation sets that the family collected for many years. You should understand that you"re now one with the Ashley Family. If you dared to betray the Ashley Family, then I will do what I can to take your life!"
Zhao Hai nodded, but he didn"t say anything. Thunder continued, "Recently, our Ashley Family hasn"t been getting good results in the Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion"s realm qualifiers. I want to leave this matter for you to solve. From the 100 people that will qualify for the realm, I want you to place in the top 10."
Zhao Hai knit his brows. Seeing Zhao Hai frown, Desbarres"s heart couldn"t help but thump. He knew that Thunder didn"t want people to disappoint him. If Zhao Hai couldn"t achieve this, then Thunder would certainly be furious.
When he saw Zhao Hai knit his brows, Thunder couldn"t help but feel his anger rising. But at this time, Zhao Hai opened his mouth and said, "Top ten in the qualifiers? That"s easy, I will take top then in the Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion!"
Thunder and Desbarres were stunned. They didn"t expect Zhao Hai to have such huge ambitions. Desbarres quickly said, "Little Hai, you know how powerful the guys from the other realms are, right? Are you that confident in Liquid Silver?"
With Liquid Silver, Zhao Hai could now use 100 thousand-layer formations at will. However, what Zhao Hai told Desbarres and the others was that he could use 10 thousand-layer formations. One must know that this ability was at the top of the Machine Field.
However, Desbarres understood that even if Zhao Hai could use a 10 thousand-layer formation, fighting people from the Cultivation Realm would still be hard.
The people from the Cultivation Realm also regarded the beginner compet.i.tion as a very important matter. They would deliberately train new ascenders just for the compet.i.tion. They would select the partic.i.p.ants the moment they ascend. Then they would train and provide them with countless pills, techniques, and resources. All of this just so that they could achieve a good result in the beginner compet.i.tion. With this setup, Desbarres believed that Zhao Hai would still be defeated no matter how many layers his Magic Theory formations had.
After he heard Desbarres, Zhao Hai shook his head, then he replied, "Even if I can"t cast that many layers of formations, I am still confident. I will try my best to win. I also want to see how Magic Theory fares against the other realms."
Thunder looked at Zhao Hai, then he laughed and said, "Good, that"s what I want to hear. My request for you is the same. As long as you get top ten in the realm qualifiers, I won"t put myself between you and Margaret. And if you can really place top ten in the beginner compet.i.tion, then not only the Ashley Family, the entire Machine Field would give you a huge gift."
Zhao Hao nodded, then Thunder said, "Also, the realm qualifiers isn"t a joke. There are more than ten million partic.i.p.ants. If you don"t take care, then you would certainly suffer a loss."
Zhao Hai nodded. Thunder waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go back." Zhao Hai and Desbarres stood up and left after they gave Thunder a salute.
Once Zhao Hai and Desbarres were inside the car, Desbarres turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, you"re too reckless. If you don"t reach the top ten in the beginner compet.i.tion, then what would I do? You need to watch your promises next time."
Zhao Hai knew that Desbarres had good intentions, so he didn"t refute his words. However, he was already settled on his decision. When the two arrived at the Bone Symbol Camp, they discovered that everyone was in a festive mood.
Everyone was so happy that one might think that it was themselves who won first place. Desbarres and Zhao Hai couldn"t help but chuckle. However, Desbarres"s smile was bittersweet.
Desbarres had done too much for the Bone Symbol Camp. But even so, the Camp was still doing badly in the past few years. Being suppressed by other people made him really uncomfortable.
Now, with Zhao Hai here, the Bone Symbol Camp was starting to go above other camps. This caused everyone in the came to feel both proud and elated.
Seeing that Zhao Hai and Desbarres had come back, everyone in the Bone Symbol Camp cheered and welcomed them. Zhao Hai could not hear anyone. With too many people present, everyone sounded like they were mumbling.
Desbarres smiled upon seeing everyone. Then he loudly said, "Alright, everyone go to the dining hall. We"re drinking until we pa.s.s out!" Everyone cheered. The Warriors came over and lifted Zhao Hai and Desbarres before carrying them towards the dining hall.
Tao w.a.n.g and Tie Sheng were already inside the dining hall. Moreover, the food had been prepared.
Besides Tao w.a.n.g and Tie Sheng, Margaret was also inside the dining hall. Naturally, the reason Margaret was here was Zhao Hai.
When he saw Margaret, Desbarres smiled faintly and then turned to Zhao Hai, he said, "Little Hai, go accompany Miss Margaret. Tao w.a.n.g, Tie Sheng, you"re with me." Then the three proceeded to leave the area.
Margaret was somewhat embarra.s.sed. But she still sat on the table with Zhao Hai. When everyone saw Zhao Hai and Margaret together, they didn"t dare barge in.
After sitting down, Margaret turned her head to Zhao hai and said, "Did that person meet you?"
Zhao Hai knew that Margaret was talking about Patriarch Thunder. He nodded and said, "Yes, the Patriarch asked to meet me."
Margaret turned anxious, she asked, "What did you talk about?"
When he saw Margaret"s tense expression, Zhao Hai couldn"t help but smile as he gave his answer, "Not really that much. But the Patriarch gave me a task. He wants me to get top ten in the realm qualifiers."
When Margaret heard Zhao Hai, she couldn"t help but relax. But she was still unconvinced, "Only that?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Right, it"s only that. But he said that if I get top ten in the qualifier, he wouldn"t go in between us two." Zhao Hai"s words made Margaret stare. Then her face turned red as she lowered her head and asked, "Did he really say that?"
Zhao Hai chuckled, "He did, you can ask the Camp Lord." Margaret just nodded and didn"t make any noise. Zhao Hai looked at Margaret, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Margaret, I need to be honest with you. I have wives that I love in the lower realms. If you like me, then you need to prepare sharing me with them." Margaret nodded and said, "I understand." Her voice was very low, but it was firm.
Zhao Hai couldn"t help but bitterly smile. He knew that Margaret was certainly thinking that Laura and the others were left behind in the lower realms. She might be thinking that he meant sharing spiritually. She wouldn"t expect that Zhao Hai actually brought Laura and the others with him!
Chapter 1137 – Doing a mission
Three days have pa.s.sed since the end of the Ashley Family"s qualifiers. At this time, Zhao Hai was already a celebrity in the family. He was called the strongest beginner in the External Hall.
The reason why everyone added "beginner" was because the External Hall"s camps also had old ascenders who were very strong. Everyone thought that it would be impossible for Zhao Hai to defeat them. Therefore, they only gave him the t.i.tle of strongest beginner.
It was only Desbarres and a few people who understood that not only the entire External Hall, but Zhao Hai would be one of the strongest experts in the Machine Field if he used Liquid Silver.
However, this matter was a secret; n.o.body would dare reveal it. Also, in the past few days, the Bone Symbol Camp was immersed in an endless mood of festivity. Of course, the most enviable thing in the Bone Symbol Camp was Zhao Hai"s relations.h.i.+p with Margaret. By this point, everyone had regarded Zhao Hai and Margaret to be together. Everyone could see the both of them together almost every day.
The Machine Field"s realm qualifiers would be held in two month’s time. In these two months, the Ashley Family as well as the other families would collect information about the other contestants for the compet.i.tion.
And in these two months, the family had limited Zhao Hai"s activity. If Zhao Hai wanted to do something, then it needed to be approved by the family. In essence, Zhao Hai"s life had turned back to normal.
Zhao Hai also found the chance to return to the academy to see Dins and the others. Dins and the others were also aware of Zhao Hai"s achievements. They didn"t think that Zhao Hai would be this strong just a few months after ascending. Their friend"s progress naturally made them very happy.
Dins and the others were also doing very well lately. They already reached a state of being able to outdo others. Moreover, with how Zhao Hai was taking care of them, they had already regarded him as a friend and family member. Because of this, Zhao Hai"s progress made them glad.
After a short reunion with Dins and the others, Zhao Hai returned to the Bone Symbol Camp to resume his training. However, Zhao Hai knew that closing up at this point would be useless. And now that he had become a member of the Bone Symbol Camp, he wanted to do something.
It was impossible for the Bone Symbol Camp to develop if they just relied on money. They still needed to do missions. And through these missions, they would slowly gain reputation. So when a special mission comes up, then someone might come and approach the camp.
After the family"s internal qualifiers, the Bone Symbol Camp experienced a low-point in doing missions. Even Tie Sheng, the person in charge of missions in the Bone Symbol Camp, took a rest.
With the realm qualifiers happening in two months, Zhao Hai didn"t want to spend the entire time practicing. Practicing wasn"t productive to him. What"s productive was doing missions and making contributions to the Bone Symbol Camp.
Because of this, when Zhao Hai returned from the Academy, he immediately went to look for Desbarres. Since Desbarres was the External Hall"s manager and the Bone Symbol Camp"s lord, it was enough for Zhao Hai to approach him.
Seeing Zhao Hai looking for him, Desbarres stared for a moment before he said, "Little Hai, why are you here? Do you need anything?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Camp Lord, I have something to discuss."
Desbarres frowned, "What is it? I"ll do my best to help you."
Seeing Desbarres"s reaction, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Camp Lord, ever since I entered the camp, I have yet to do a mission. I couldn"t justify this. Since the Machine Field qualifiers isn"t happening soon, I"d like to use this opportunity to do a mission."
When he heard this, Desbarres thought that he misunderstood. He frowned and said, "You want to do a mission? Don"t you have to prepare for getting top ten in the realm qualifiers two months from now?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "That isn"t an issue. I"m currently on a bottleneck. Even if I close up, it would be useless. It"s better for me to do missions and experience actual combat. This way, I can also get more familiar with Little Silver."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Desbarres nodded and said, "Alright, I agree. But you need to consult Tie Sheng. The camp"s missions are being managed by him." Zhao Hai nodded and went to find Tie Sheng.
Tie Sheng"s office was also inside the camp"s headquarters. He was tasked with picking and handing missions to the camp. There were also particularly important missions that needed to be personally managed by him.
Tie Sheng"s missions weren"t too crucial. Generally, he would handle group missions, taken in the name of the Bone Symbol Camp. He wouldn"t partic.i.p.ate in missions that were taken in his own name.
At this time, Tie Sheng was processing doc.u.ments in his office. Then suddenly, the door opened and a person walked in. Tie Sheng looked up and gawked. He didn"t expect Zhao Hai to come looking for him.
However, Tie Sheng quickly recovered. He looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and said, "Little Hai, what brings you to my office? You want to drink? Let me finish this first."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Big Brother Tie Sheng, do I need to ask you for a drink whenever I see you? This time I didn"t come for a drink, I want to ask for a mission."
Tie Sheng stared, he was puzzled so he asked, "You want a mission? The realm qualifiers is happening soon. It would be better for you to stay in the camp."
Zhao Hai replied, "Brother Tie Sheng, at this point, practicing is useless for me. Therefore, I want to do missions in order to gain battle experience. This would also allow me to be more familiar with Liquid Silver."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Tie Sheng nodded and said, "Alright. After all, with Liquid Silver, it wouldn"t be a problem for you to survive in the beginner compet.i.tion. I can give you a mission. What type of mission do you want?"
Naturally, Tie Sheng"s confidence in Liquid Silver was much greater than his confidence of Zhao Hai. However, he still wasn"t confident in the Machine Field"s performance at the Six Realm Beginner Compet.i.tion.
Zhao Hai didn"t say anything about it and just smiled faintly and said, "I haven"t taken any missions before, so I"ll leave the choice to you. A group mission would be good. However, it needs to be a bit difficult. Or else I won"t be able to familiarize myself with Liquid Silver."
Tie Sheng thought for a moment and said, "A group mission would be good, this way you can have people taking care of you. I"ll see what missions we have available."
Tie Sheng opened his computer and searched for a while. Then his eyes suddenly shone. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, this mission is very suitable for you. You can finally take revenge."
Zhao Hai replied, "Revenge? Does it involve the Zhang Family?"
Tie Sheng nodded, "Right. It"s an internal mission of the Zhang Family. They need to escort a fleet of ten medium freighters to Luke Planet from their headquarters in Adam Planet. They would send people from their External Hall for this mission. What we need to do is to disguise as pirates to attack their fleet. There"s no other purpose for this mission other than striking the Zhang Family. So are you interested? This will make you go against a battles.h.i.+p. Moreover, it"s a group mission."
Zhao Hai"s two eyes shone, he said, "Good, I"m interested. Right, who else will take this mission?"
Tie Sheng smiled faintly and said, "I"ll be going. And besides the Bone Symbol Camp, other camps would also send their own people. The commander for this mission is a core member of the family. But the people from the Bone Symbol Camp will act together. Will you join?"
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Of course I"ll join. I wouldn"t want to miss this opportunity. But if we take a battles.h.i.+p down, how will the accomplishment be handled?"
Tie Sheng looked strangely at Zhao Hai and said, "Good. It seems like you"re prepared to go to extremes. Rest a.s.sured, as long as you"re able to take a battles.h.i.+p down, everything left behind will be handed over to the Bone Symbol Camp. You might not know, but modified battles.h.i.+ps can fetch a good price. And even if we don"t sell it, we can still make use of it."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Then it"s settled, I"ll partic.i.p.ate. When do we start?"
Tie Sheng smiled faintly and said, "We depart five days later."
Zhao Hao nodded, "Alright, then I"ll be waiting." Then he turned around and left.
As soon as he got back to his room, Zhao Hai found that Margaret was already waiting for him. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, Margaret stood up and said, "Where did you go? Why didn"t I find you?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I went to see the Camp Lord. Since the qualifiers is still two months away, I decided to do some missions. I just met with Brother Tie Sheng, we"ll be departing five days later."
When Margaret heard Zhao Hai, she couldn’t help but say, "What mission is it? And the Camp Lord agreed?" Margaret already knew about Liquid Silver, so after thinking about it for some time, she said, "I"ll take the mission as well."
Zhao Hai stared, then he quickly said, "Why do you want to take the mission, what if something happens? And even if you want to, the Camp Lord might not agree."
Margaret snorted and said, "Don"t underestimate me. I"m a level 4 Mage. I"ll go see Uncle right now." Then she turned around and left. Zhao Hai initially wanted to stop her but he decided to give up.
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly before his body flashed into s.p.a.ce. Laura and the others immediately welcomed him. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, why don"t you find an opportunity to take her to the s.p.a.ce?"
Zhao Hai looked at Laura and couldn"t help but force a smile, "Let"s wait. She"s not suitable for the s.p.a.ce right now. Are you getting more anxious than me?"
Laura smiled and said, "We just want to see her reaction upon seeing the s.p.a.ce." Zhao Hai smiled bitterly, he didn"t know how to respond.
Zhao Hai chatted with Laura and the others before going back outside. He knew that Margaret should be coming back by now. And just as Zhao Hai came out, Margaret knocked on his door with a smile on her face. Upon seeing Zhao Hai she said, "I"ll be going with you five days later. It"s time for me to take my revenge."
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. From what he saw during the Zhang Family"s attack last time, he knew that Margaret"s experience was still too low. She was dreaming if she really wanted to take revenge against the Zhang family.
However, Zhao Hai wouldn"t tell her this. Instead he smiled and said, "Alright. We only need to follow Brother Tie Sheng"s lead. He"s quite strong and has a lot of experience in command. There shouldn"t be any problems."
Margaret actually looked both excited and nervous. She was like a child that was waiting to do something evil. With her excited face, Margaret looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Hey, what if we take a s.h.i.+p by force? Do we sell it or use it?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Relax. These things will be handed over to the camp to manage." Margaret"s excitement didn"t reduce at all. She kept discussing to Zhao Hai about keeping it.
Five days quickly pa.s.sed by. This mission was kept in deep secrecy. Only a small number of people in the Ashley Family knew about it. Even those who accepted the mission were still unaware about what they would do.
This time, 200 members from the Bone Symbol Camp joined. The weakest of them was at level 3. After all, those less than level 3 couldn"t survive going in outer s.p.a.ce.
Although there were a lot of people from the Bone Symbol Camp, two people became the center of attention. They were Zhao Hai and Margaret.
Margaret"s status in the Ashley Family wasn"t a secret. Additionally, she had been visiting Zhao Hai recently. Because of this, the people from the Bone Symbol Camp knew about her. They just didn"t expect Zhao Hai and Margaret to partic.i.p.ate in the mission.
All those who partic.i.p.ated in the mission were sent out to outer s.p.a.ce by a small s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Then they transferred to a bigger s.h.i.+p before heading to their destination.
Since this mission was kept secret, all camps involved would gather at the outer s.p.a.ce base and take a medium-sized battles.h.i.+p.
For this mission, the External Hall dispatched more than 1700 people altogether. With so many people and only one s.h.i.+p, the rooms were very packed. Rooms originally for one person now had six people squeezed inside.
The room that Zhao Hai was in had the same situation, but fortunately he was grouped up with those from the Bone Symbol Camp. As for Margaret, since she had special status, she was allocated a room for herself.
After everyone had arrived at the outer s.p.a.ce base, the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p immediately took off. Their destination was a place called Rainbow Meteor Field.
