Chapter 706: Is Ten Thousand Contribution Points Really That Hard?

Liu Qiangwei was momentarily stunned; she had never seen such a straightforward person before.

Renting two strong individuals for ten thousand contribution points? In Liu Qiangwei's eyes, it seemed impossible.

In the Guardian Land, ten thousand contribution points could be a lot or not much at all. For true experts, ten thousand points were like a drizzle.

And a Divine Heaven Realm seventh level, Myriad Laws Return to One stage, was already considered a true master in the Guardian Land.

"Captain, be careful of a trap," whispered a girl with a loli-like face from the Rose Squad.

Liu Qiangwei nodded, knowing well that when they went out on missions, the Xuan Kui Squad would appear, snatching away the expert she had rented. Now two experts suddenly appeared, offering to be rented for just ten thousand contribution points. To Liu Qiangwei, this seemed suspicious.

Manna wouldn't fall from the sky, so the only possibility was that these two might have been sent by Fang Xuan.

Perhaps they wanted to wait until they went out and then pull some tricks.

But for now, these were just Liu Qiangwei's guesses, with no evidence.

This top-grade Earth-level mission was very important to Liu Qiangwei. If she gave up now, the loss would be severe.

"Both of you are Divine Heaven Realm seventh level experts. Ten thousand contribution points shouldn't mean much to you. May I ask what your intentions are?" Liu Qiangwei asked.

Lin Fan didn't feel like talking at the moment. Sometimes, overthinking was a sin.

Who the hell said ten thousand contribution points meant nothing? We're the ones who need these ten thousand points! Before Lin Fan could speak, Fang Xuan burst out laughing.

"Haha! Liu Qiangwei, isn't it obvious? These two have ulterior motives, wanting something to happen with your squad."

Liu Qiangwei's expression tightened. Although Fang Xuan's words were unpleasant, it wasn't impossible.

In the Guardian Land, such things happened from time to time. Involuntarily, Liu Qiangwei hesitated.

The members of the Xuan Kui Squad also started laughing.

"Makes sense. With two Divine Heaven Realm seventh level experts following, once outside, the Rose Squad would be like fish on a chopping board."

"The Rose Squad members are all beautiful, with those long legs—so tempting."

"Look at that monk, his eyes gleaming with wickedness, and that man, cold-faced, definitely a ruthless type. Their tastes must be extraordinary."

"Haha..."

...

"You..." The Rose Squad members, hearing these words, turned pale with anger, glaring at the crowd but unable to retort.

At that moment, the atmosphere was oppressive, and an awkward silence fell.

The onlookers smiled without saying a word, watching like spectators. The Xuan Kui Squad was well-known in the Guardian Land, a formidable team, so no one dared to speak up.

"Benefactor, these people are sick," said the Venerable Shijia, anger rising.

Lin Fan frowned deeply, staring at the Xuan Kui Squad. Were these guys asking for death?

Do you think it's easy for me to earn ten thousand contribution points? And you're all spouting nonsense here—if that's not asking for death, what is?

"What are you looking at? Did I hit a nerve? What, you want to hit me? Come on, let's see what you can do!" Fang Xuan laughed loudly when he saw Lin Fan's gaze.

At this moment, Lin Fan felt like throwing a punch. The dignity of an emperor was not something these lowlifes could insult.

"Sis, what's your decision? Give me an answer—yes or no. If not, just say so," Lin Fan said, looking directly at the Rose Squad.

"This..." Liu Qiangwei hesitated, unsure what to do. She was truly suspicious of these two. After a moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth. "Sorry, but we're giving up on this mission."

After saying this, Liu Qiangwei felt as if she had lost something. She didn't dare gamble; she couldn't risk her team members' lives.

"Haha..." Fang Xuan burst into wild laughter, looking very pleased.

Lin Fan closed his eyes slightly, feeling helpless. This was too damn frustrating. Why was it so hard to earn ten thousand contribution points?

And this girl, why did she overthink so much? Couldn't there be a little more sincerity? Did I really look like a bad guy?

Lin Fan clenched his fists. He was furious now, with a fire that needed an outlet. He might as well take it out on Fang Xuan.

Rip!

Just then, the barrier trembled, and a figure appeared instantly. The moment the figure appeared, it started shouting frantically.

"Someone help me, please help me."

Everyone was drawn to the commotion, wondering what had happened.

The figure was a woman, not too old, with a cultivation of Divine Heaven Realm fourth level, but she was extremely panicked.

"Hey, isn't that a member of the Hundred Battles Squad?"

"Yeah, didn't the Hundred Battles Squad go out on a mission? Why is only one back?"

"That mission was a low-grade Earth-level, not too hard. But judging by this, something went wrong."

...

"Someone help me, please. I'll give all my contribution points, just help me," the girl pleaded, covered in wounds. Though not fatal, they looked terrifying.

"What happened? Your Hundred Battles Squad went out to complete a mission. Why are you the only one back?" a passerby asked curiously.

"While completing the mission, we encountered an ancient tribe army. We could have escaped, but we ran into the Thunder Lord," the girl said fearfully, then looked at the crowd. "Who can help me? My teammates were captured by the Thunder Lord."

The girl was desperate. The Thunder Lord was extremely powerful and cruel.

In the Guardian Land, the Thunder Lord alone was a top-grade Heaven-level mission.

But few dared to take it, and even if some experts did, they never returned.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"The Thunder Lord? That's a terrifying existence."

"Yeah, who has the ability to rescue someone from the Thunder Lord? Not to mention the Thunder Lord, even those ancient tribe armies are no pushovers."

"Looks like the Hundred Battles Squad is finished. Only one survived."

...

The girl looked at the crowd in despair, then turned to Fang Xuan. "Please, save my teammates. If you do, the Hundred Battles Squad will pledge allegiance to your Xuan Kui Squad."

But Fang Xuan pushed her away. "Are you joking? That's the Thunder Lord. Anyone who goes is just asking for death. Forget it. Unless one of the powerful squads takes a shot, no one in the entire Guardian Land can help you."

Hearing this, the girl's tears flowed like rain.

Her Hundred Battles Squad didn't have the capital to hire those powerful squads.

"Ah, the Hundred Battles Squad is really unlucky. Their captain was at Divine Heaven Realm seventh level, and now they're done for."

"Tragic, truly tragic."

...

"Ten thousand contribution points to rent us. Yes or no? Give me an answer. Don't waste time."

Just as the girl was completely despairing, a figure appeared before her.

The girl looked up at Lin Fan, momentarily at a loss for words.

Lin Fan looked at the girl and asked again, "Ten thousand contribution points, deal or no deal?"

"Don't go to your death. That's the Thunder Lord!" Liu Qiangwei said.

"You two are crazy for contribution points. This is suicide," Fang Xuan laughed.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, then suddenly turned to Fang Xuan. "Shut the hell up! Say one more word, and I'll kill you, believe it?"

Lin Fan was truly enraged.

Fang Xuan felt a sharp killing intent from the man, his body stiffening, his heart pounding as if he were in the abyss of hell.

"Hurry up, say it—yes or no?" Lin Fan said. "If you hesitate any longer and your teammates get killed by the ancient tribe, don't blame me."

Hearing this, the girl didn't dare hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Where did you encounter the Thunder Lord?" Lin Fan asked.

"At the Twin Gorge Dark Valley, thirty thousand li away," the girl said urgently.

"Forget it, come with us." Lin Fan, realizing he wasn't familiar with the 'Holy' territory, grabbed the girl without hesitation and vanished into the void.

"Baldy, follow."

"Alright, benefactor."
