Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3028 - 3048: One Man is an Army

"Teams?"

Lin Chen blinked, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Wang Yuan picked up his wine glass, clinked it against Lin Chen’s, took a big gulp, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Nothing beats the refreshment of drinking Magic Barley Wine..."

Gu Qin pursed her lips and laughed, "You’re almost becoming a drunkard!"

Wang Yuan laughed heartily, "Drinking is great. Other things can only bring joy for a brief time, but drinking can keep you happy for half a day!"

Setting down his wine glass, Wang Yuan then explained to Lin Chen, "Yes, teams! The combat between the Great Wilderness Palace and the Demon God Temple is ongoing, relentless. To enhance the Desert People’s initiative, aside from the regular main forces, a reward mission system has been adopted."

"The reward mission system is somewhat similar to the order system of the Mercenary Association. It divides the entire area into tasks of varying difficulty regarding various hostile targets, resource points, etc. Defeating enemies, seizing resource points, or even taking over territories can complete corresponding tasks. Executors, besides what they obtain from the tasks themselves, can also receive the designated rewards."

"The main forces only participate in large-scale battles. Of course, members of the main forces can also take part in reward missions during their off-duty times. This is like a part-time job outside of work, and it’s permitted."

"This reward mission system has given birth to task teams; they are mostly close kin or trusted friends who execute various missions together to obtain cultivation resources and reward incentives."

"You’re new to the Great Wilderness Palace, so you certainly can’t join the main army corps. If you want to combat for merits, your only option is to form or join a combat team, since the strength of an individual is limited."

Wang Yuan pointed to himself, then to the other three Demon Race members, "We are part of a combat team, of course, there are more than just the four of us in a combat team..."

Wang Yuan explained clearly, and Lin Chen, upon considering this, thought that these rules seemed prepared just for him.

Although he appeared to be alone, he wasn’t lacking hidden allies.

One man is as good as a legion!

Gu Qin then continued to explain more details about the reward missions to Lin Chen, who silently took note of them in his heart.

"Gao Ming, what is your strength?"

Lin Chen replied, "Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal."

Wang Yuan’s eyes brightened, "That’s impressive. Are you interested in joining our team?"

Lin Chen tactfully declined, "Since I’m a new arrival, there’s no need to rush. I’ll learn more about the situation before deciding."

Wang Yuan wasn’t disappointed and just laughed, giving him his room number, "If you decide one day you want to join, you can come find me anytime."

After discussing team formation, the people then began to inquire about the Immortal Realm. During the Q&A, Lin Chen also became clearer about the various rules of the Great Wilderness Palace.

Upon leaving the Restaurant, Gu Qin asked, "Shall I show you around?"

"Thank you!"

The two walked side by side, and Lin Chen finally voiced the question he was most concerned about, "You must be very familiar with the Eighteen Ancestors, I mean you know about them?"

Gu Qin said with a smile, "Of course, every member of the Human Clan here is well aware that without them, there wouldn’t be us now."

Lin Chen asked, "Is there a Female Cultivator surnamed Lu?"

Gu Qin’s lips curved into a light smile, "You’re referring to Ancestral Master Lv Shuyi, aren’t you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Is there a second Lu?"

With a curious glance at Lin Chen, Gu Qin answered, "No, why do you ask about her in particular?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "I have an Elder who has some connection with her and mentioned her to me. Now that I’m here, naturally, I’d like to pay her a visit."

"Ah," Gu Qin responded, "Apart from Par with Heaven who volunteers as a Guard in the Human Clan’s Main Hall, the remaining living Ancestors all reside in the Ancestral Lands, hmm, the territory belonging solely to our Human Clan, as well as where we currently dwell."

Lin Chen nodded to show he understood; those residing in the Great Wilderness Palace were Daluo Immortals working for it, while other clan members lived on the territory allocated to the Human Clan by the palace.

Lin Chen pondered, "Can I visit Senior Lu in the Ancestral Lands?"

Gu Qin replied, "Naturally, you haven’t joined the Great Wilderness Palace, you’re currently just a guest. Guests can come to the Great Wilderness Palace, so naturally they can also go to the Ancestral Lands of the Human Clan. However, whether the Ancestors will see you is not certain."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’ll give it a try, maybe the Ancestors would like to know what the Immortal Realm is really like now. As the first of the Human Clan to arrive at the Great Wilderness Palace since the start of the Immortal Demon War, I think they might be somewhat interested."

"Can do, I’ll issue you an ID card later, so you can reduce a lot of trouble on your way to the Ancestral Lands."

Gu Qin was very enthusiastic in her suggestion and led Lin Chen on a thorough tour around the Deserted Street. Not until the daybreak was nearly over did they end their journey, and she took Lin Chen back to the metal Main Hall.

Par with Heaven was still dozing in his reclining chair, seemingly without having moved an inch.

Lin Chen glanced out of the corner of his mouth – was this Ancestral Master so dedicated he didn’t even take time off work to rest?
