Reborn as a Transcendent

Chapter 395: Come Kill The Succubus, There Are Lots Of Rewards

Everyone nearly became slack-jawed after seeing that beautiful and alluring portrait. It wasn't an understatement to perceive her as an actual succubus. After all, no ordinary person would be this sexually charming.

However, why should they be concerned about this? When compared to killing the so-called succubus, it was more appealing for them to explore the maze. They all responded positively, but couldn't care less in their hearts.

All they cared about was entering the maze uneventfully. Whether they would go and hunt the succubus depended on their mood and luck. They would try if they stumbled into her. If they didn't, they'd naturally not waste any time searching for her.

Wasn't it better to explore the maze?

This is how humans work, benefits make the world go round. Only a rare few people would be foolish enough to do non-beneficial things. Even the perfect altruist had self-interest in mind when performing good deeds. For example, to attain fame or self-satisfaction.

All of the players and adventurers here came to seek benefits. Making them do any work without pay would be a waste of effort. Seemingly having figured out their thoughts, Commander Blei waved his arm and shouted.

"Anyone who exits the maze with the succubus' head will be granted three Master-level Equipment and ten million gold coins by His Majesty!"

Everyone was shocked when he said that.

"What? I didn't hear it wrong, did I?" S.K.Y. exclaimed.

"Why are you so stoked?" Wild Arrogance was confused.

"You don't know?" S.K.Y. was a little surprised. "The Empire's Master-level Equipment equates to Epic Equipment!"

Hearing that, Wild Arrogance's eyes became wide and exhaled deeply. The reward of 10 million gold coins wasn't really important to him. However, three Epic Equipment was different.

These days, Epic Equipment in Linhnan server were a rarity. Most of them were possessed by the [Princess Alliance]. Even the immensely wealthy [Death of Love] Guild only had one, owned by himself. In [Limitless] Guild and [Death of Flower] Guild, S.K.Y. and Vanessa Yang each possessed one. Most of the other top guilds probably only had one, owned by their leader.

Players like Yaeger who was decked out in Epic Equipment were immensely desirable, everyone wanted a bite off of her. These days, Yunuen Lin who possessed two Epic Equipment were also targeted.

"Three Epic Equipment!" Wild Arrogance calmed down in great difficulty and exclaimed.

Until this day, Epic Equipment were still incredibly rare and desirable in the forums' black markets. Even [Royal Quiver], the weakest Epic Equipment on Yaeger was valued at an astronomical amount within the black market.

However, not a single one of these items were ever sold. At least not to Wild Arrogance's and S.K.Y.'s knowledge.

In fact, aside from [Princess Alliance], only powerful individuals from massive guilds could attain Epic Equipment. Would anyone at this caliber lack money? No, even if they needed money, they would never sell their Epic Equipment. Because these were akin to geese that laid the golden eggs!

As long as they had Epic Equipment, would they fail to earn money? Even if they only used it to help other players grind levels, they would still earn boatloads of cash. Not to mention exploring new frontiers.

Any Guild that could attain three Epic Equipment at this moment would undergo drastic change!

‘Being the greatest Guild in Cathay would be possible! No, I can even become the greatest person in the world!' Wild Arrogance was very excited.

With three Epic Equipment in hand, his plans to destroy Black-hearted Princess would be even easier! As long as he could attain her Artifact, Unique Crates, and Epic Equipment, he would definitely become the greatest player in the world.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the square was extremely lively. As if gathering in front of a bonfire, everyone's faces were flushed. Witnessing the change, Blei simply smirked. ‘I just wrote you a blank check. You think you can actually cash it in? Naïve, no, how greedy!'

Greed was the demon that could deprive anyone of logical reasoning.

‘Idiots. Do you think there's such a great opportunity waiting for you?' He shook his head.

Risk and opportunity came hand-in-hand. With such a high payoff, there was definitely a massive risk. With that said, Blei couldn't care less if they lived or died. As they say: The wages of avarice is death.

In this mission, these adventurers and outsiders were nothing but cannon fodder. The true challengers were actually the greenhorn soldiers of the Direct Army. They were all experts that were Platinum-ranked in strength!

"Besides!" Blei suddenly said. His voice seemed to have resounded within their hearts, making everyone silent. "As long as you locate the succubus and report it to any members of the Direct Army accompanying you, you'll also be rewarded! Depending on the importance of the information, you receive a Fine Equipment at most!"

The moment he spoke, the scene became rowdy again.

"Doesn't the Empire's Fine Equipment equate to Rare Equipment?" S.K.Y. was surprised.

"What a hefty reward." Wild Arrogance said.

Immediately after, they looked at each other and realized that something was amiss. The matter about the succubus was definitely more complicated than it seemed! Yet, most players and adventurers didn't think that much. They only cared about benefits!

With their strength, they weren't delusional enough to hunt down the succubus, who had a massive bounty on her head. However, simply providing information was quite different. Anyone could do that, no?

Unlike these people, Wild Arrogance and S.K.Y. both remained skeptical. They had no plans to become cannon fodder.

"We'll focus on conquering the maze. As for hunting the succubus, let's just wait and see." S.K.Y. whispered.

"That's what I'm thinking too." Wild Arrogance nodded.

Although Epic Equipment was good, their lives were more important. Players like them who were above Level 20 treasured their lives deeply. Because the consequences of death would become greater as their level increased!

Commander Blei glanced around and nodded in satisfaction. The more enthusiastic these cannon fodder were, the better. After all, they simply couldn't send too many elites inside.

If these adventurers and outsiders were lucky enough to kill Alicia, it would be even better!

"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, everyone excitedly entered the rockery and descended into the underground maze along with those black-armored soldiers.

At this moment, among this massive crowd of people, no one noticed that a tall man draped in black had suddenly smirked ominously. Furthermore, no one noticed that underneath his incredibly common and pale yellow face, there were white bandages wrapped around his neck, hiding even whiter skin. No, even the man himself didn't notice that the bandages on his neck had slightly loosened after the chaos that unfolded back then. That was why his skin that looked completely different to his face was revealed.

Some time ago.

White light flashed and spatial energy shook. The next moment, three figures appeared. They were Yaeger, Alicia and Yunuen.

"Is this the first maze we are assigned to?" Yaeger looked forward with a slightly surprised expression.

They had appeared on a platform made of gray bricks. There was a massive stone door not far away. Some incomprehensible but ancient looking inscriptions were carved at its top.

"It's actually this maze!" Looking at those words, Alicia exclaimed in surprise.
