Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Lein felt frustrated, so he said to the old man behind the boy, "Sorry sir, but we really don't want to form a team right now."

The old man looked at Lein calmly, staying silent.

"Little brother... what is your purpose, and why did you choose us out of so many people?" Nita asked kindly.

"Well... it's like this, sister. I'm looking for something like this." The boy showed a picture of a purple plant with wide flowers. "I need this flower to heal my mother. She hasn't left her room for a long time..." The boy's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke.

"Sister, you and your brother are the brightest lights here," the boy said, looking at Lein and Nita with hopeful eyes.

"Young master, remember your promise... otherwise, I will have to take you back," the old man, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up when the boy explained his vision.

Lein and Nita thought the same thing but decided to set it aside for now, not wanting to cause any trouble with the old man.

Nita, touched by the boy's story, said, "Alright, let's form a team together." Lein also felt more open after learning the boy's purpose. However, a question lingered in his mind. Isn't the boy's guardian extremely powerful?

"Great... thank you, sister!" The boy was delighted, and a determined look appeared in his eyes. He seemed to have a clear goal now.

Suddenly, a mission notification appeared on Nita's panel.

[Liang Wei's Hidden Mission]

- Name: Liang Wei

- Rank: B

- Description: Help Liang Wei find the Soul Grass

- Reward: ???

Nita was surprised. She sent a message through the system chat to Lein to ask. As she suspected, only she received the mission. Judging by the mission description, Liang Wei's mission was unrelated to the Race War event.

"Alright... wait here for a moment. I'll select our mission first," Nita said to Liang Wei.

[Odomot Race Missions: Combat]

- Patrol at fortress #21 for 6 hours. 170 contribution points.

- Fight and enter the main battlefield for 8 hours, contribution points +340.

- Guard and defend at fortress #47 for 7 hours, contribution points +500.

- Participate in the assault plan, contribution points +800.

- ...

[Odomot Race Missions: Achievement]

- Eliminate a tier-1 Yezor race member, contribution points +5.

- Eliminate a tier-2 Yezor race member, contribution points +50.

- Eliminate a tier-3 Yezor race member, contribution points +500.

- ...

The mission list was not much different from the Cui race mission board, except the contribution points earned were several times higher.

After selecting a mission, they left the war office and took the nearest flying vehicle to the airship port in Solara City.

Empty Space, Divine Sky Realm.

A 1,000-meter-long sailing ship sped steadily through the clouds. In the captain's room, a female officer reported to another woman who appeared to be the leader.

"Captain Hana, we are currently heading to the American alliance area in the next 2 hours. All preparations are complete," the female officer explained.

"And the high portal island has been installed at location #23," she added.

The ship they were on was a special World Market alliance vessel tasked with opening portal point routes to all other alliances. The person in charge of this grand operation was the core member of the alliance, Hana.

"Alright... proceed with the next plan," Hana ordered.

Besides establishing portal islands, her team's task this time was to set up alliance stores on other alliance islands. So far, they had built more than 100 alliance sites. In each alliance, they could establish one main alliance branch and dozens of other branches on the island.

Some islands did not allow it and even demanded unreasonable prices. However, with the financial resources of the World Market alliance, this was not an issue.

"Report, ma'am. A foreign island is visible within 1 km," a soldier reported from the captain's room door.

Hana frowned and then went to the control room to see the detected foreign island.

From afar, a 3,000-meter by 3,000-meter island was indeed visible. On the island, large mountains and several flying creatures could be seen. Hana's team's ship continued to approach the foreign island.

The visible foreign island was not a ruler's island but a beast island in the Divine Sky Realm. They had encountered beast islands like this many times before. Naturally, they wouldn't leave it be. Although the items or materials dropped by the monsters on the island were not useful to people like Lein and the alliance leaders, they were still valuable to those with lower power levels.

"Order team 17 to destroy it and collect all dropped items. Once done, don't forget to destroy the territory orb," Hana ordered clearly.

"Yes, captain," the soldier replied firmly, then turned to inform the military section leader.

Shortly after Hana's command, 10 smaller ships headed towards the foreign island. From afar, the battle could be seen. It turned out that the foreign island was inhabited by eagle-like beasts with an average size of 7 meters.

[Rock Eagle]

[Shadow Eagle]

- Skills: (Eagle Shadow) grants temporary strength to the shadow for 1 minute with 25% of the host's power.

"Hahaha... these birds are quite strong."

"Come on, this is our chance to get energy crystals to upgrade our equipment."

Some soldiers discussed enthusiastically. Victory was certainly in their hands, with the help of 10 Tier-2 leaders behind them. Moreover, if the enemy was too strong, the main ship would attack directly regardless of the materials and resources on the island.

With just a few rounds of divine mortars, a 7,000-meter-long island could be rendered powerless.

[Killed Rock Eagle - Level 13, Exp +67]

[Killed Shadow Eagle - Level 10, Exp +31]

A series of system alerts rang in the soldiers' ears, making them more eager to eliminate the eagle monsters in front of them.

The battle continued until all the rock eagles were dead. The bodies were extracted for materials, and the entire island was searched for hidden items or materials. The final task was carried out by the Tier-2 leaders to destroy the Territory Orb.
