Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1065: Coveted Reserve Slots

”This is insane!” Xu Feng scratched his head and increased the warship knot speed by another twofold.

Following his warship closely behind was a large swarm of sea monsters who wanted nothing more than to rip his warship apart.

The supposed predator and prey role had swapped in an instant.

Xu Feng no longer dared to remain in place and allow himself to be surrounded by sea monsters.

Previously, he was able to do so because these sea monsters would behave dumb and swim around without any idea of who to attack.

However, now they were very clear-headed as to who to attack regardless of the injuries or obstacles.

In the control room of his warship, Xu Feng received multiple warning inputs about incoming attacks and that the barrier automatically activated.

The barrier power had decreased from 100% to 87% due to the continuous bombardment.

Not to mention, all the hydro cannons had finally overloaded and were in rest mode before they could be fired again.

”Where am I even sailing to?” Xu Feng was fatigued and glanced at the unreliable Phantasm Map occasionally to check his current location.

The map still didn’t emit any light or hint about a significant key location.

”Just show something. I don’t even mind if it’s another one of those Sea Legacy. I can just camp by the entrance and wait.” He truly regretted retrieving the items early on and causing the sea dungeon to collapse. Had he waited properly, then he wouldn’t have been in such a predicament.

While Xu Feng was struggling to escape from the ferocious sea monsters, back at Haven Wind Town, things had started to take a new turn.

Haven Wind Town, Entrance Gate

”So, I’m sure everyone has heard about our Vanguard Guild’s new arrangement to ensure those who have money can enter in advance, right?” Dark Night stood at the top of a platform and asked loudly.

In front of him was a large group of wealthy players who wanted to enter the Vanguard Guild’s town but were late in arrival due to multiple teleportations required in cities. They had only heard about the hype and popularity of the town after someone decided to make a post in the Game Forum globally.

Moreover, the scandalous posts published by Carlton and Rodney had somehow been featured and trending lately.

Being featured in the game forum was relatively easy. There needed to be enough attraction and activities in the post itself.

Since there were multiple players asking questions and making their own conclusions, it naturally created a heated debate under the post. By now, these scandalous posts each had over 30,000 comments, with the first one having over 70,000 comments.

With such large traffic, it would have been suspicious for it to not be on the feature page. As long as the post didn’t violate the rules set by the Divine World system, all sorts of posts were eligible to be featured.

”We have already heard about it, Sir Dark Night. Just start the auction and allow us to bid.”

”Yeah, I don’t want the crowd to increase any further. I just want to enter the town and rent for like a month in one of your guild’s establishments.”

”I also came here to discuss potential business deals with your Vanguard Guild. I’m sure your higher-ups would be very appreciative to be listening in on the deals.”

All sorts of shoutings and yellings commenced in the area, with many clearly offering many reasons to enter the town.

Due to the training hall’s effectiveness having been tested and verified, many players who entered the town crowded the building. Not a single player wished to leave the town, even if they had accepted missions from the Adventure Association and Mercenary Association.

After all, the queue to enter the town didn’t decrease one bit. Instead, it even increased at each 5-minute increment.

Based on such circumstances, who would want to leave the town just to complete one or two missions?

”Everyone, I understand how you feel. But let’s keep yourself under control.” Dark Night raised his voice and declared.

”Those who continued to shout over one another will be blacklisted from ever getting the reserve slot!”

As if a silence spell had been placed, everyone quickly kept their mouths shut.

One thing that they learned when studying the Vanguard Guild was that they were never the bluffing type.

Just take a look at Reave Town and you will know what the consequences were for trying to cross them.

Reave Town was barely sustaining itself and was no different than a ghost town.

Even if you were told you’d be paid if you went to their town, no players would agree to it.

With the crowd subsiding their emotions, Dark Night nodded his head and beckoned for his subordinates to proceed with the process.

”How’s the situation now?” Suddenly, a voice echoed from behind Dark Night.

”Oh, it’s Senior.” Dark Night turned around and spotted Lightning Blade.

”Everything is functioning well and the players are obeying the rules.” He continued.

Granted that Lightning Blade was one of the earliest members to join the guild and became a team leader, Dark Night needed to give the former ample respect.

Moreover, Lightning Blade hadn’t slacked off despite a slight hiccup due to his cousin’s behavior. Instead of sulking, Lightning Blade fiercely ensured nobody close to him used his name to cause trouble and even went on to earn numerous merits to repay the Vanguard Guild.

Aside from the very top, Lightning Blade held the most Merit Points amongst the elite members.

”It’s good that everything is fine here.” Lightning Blade nodded in approval and warned softly. ”Recently, my team discovered some bounty tag players forming a group to surround the perimeter from afar. Tell your people to beware and try to investigate what they are up to.”

Upon hearing such news, Dark Night’s eyes turned cold.

He furrowed his brow and inquired, ”Do we make a move if we discover anything?”

”No, report it to the Guild Captain. I was just on my way to relay all the necessary information and encounter you here. So I gave you a heads up since this crowd of players are wealthy and our money tree.” Lightning Blade explained.
