Gather the Team
Actually, there's one more thing that everyone hasn't said: because of the series of questionable actions within Sword and Rose these past few days, Sword of Miracles is now almost forced into retirement.
Adding to the fact that former teammates have turned against them...
If everyone offers help in times of need, it will be easier to dig.
"Hello! Is this Boss Jian? This is Old Wang!"
What?! I don't sell equipment!
Do you have time? I have a task that needs your help!
You're really something, assuming I'm going to sell equipment right off the bat!
Yes! It's a follow-up to the last mission. You and Yunzhong should come directly to the Homeworld base!
"OK, two taken care of," Wang Qianduo said to the others after hanging up the call.
With Sword of Miracles and Song in the Clouds in place, the team's composition was basically complete.
"Do you have any recommendations for the remaining three? If not, I'll call a friend," Wang Qianduo asked.
"Hurry up and call them, try to call those who can join our guild in the future!" Lin Qimeng said.
"Good!"
The friends Wang Qianduo was referring to were, of course, the Yu Sisters; after all, he only had so many friends.
They had just reached level 10 a few days ago, which was perfect for their team.
"Is Little Fish here? I have a task that needs help. Are you guys free? Oh, and bring your sister too."
What? This Night Owl is here too? He's still bothering you guys! That jerk is shameless.
"Let's invite him too, there are three seats left."
"Alright! Now everyone's here. But my two female friends are a bit better at the game; the guy is even worse than me!"
"But their character is guaranteed, and their talent is absolutely top-notch. They are the kind of people we need to build our guild in the future," Wang Qianduo said after contacting the Yu Sisters.
Everyone nodded in agreement. They trusted Wang Qianduo's judgment to some extent.
Moreover, this task was originally his; he never intended for his friends to participate.
~~~
Sword of Miracles and the other two, along with the three from Yu Xiaoyu's side, arrived almost simultaneously. After everyone introduced themselves, Wang Qianduo shared the mission with them.
"Brother Wang is still the same Brother Wang! He's playing a completely different game from us!" Night Owl said after reading the mission.
"The rewards for this mission are indeed amazing, but the Lord Boss is not so easy to deal with."
"Old Wang Xie believes me now!" Sword of Miracles exclaimed.
He never imagined that one day the person who would lend him a helping hand would be a stranger he once knew.
He needs this equipment to make a comeback. A couple of days ago, he had a falling out with the Club and was tricked. All his level 10 Rare equipment was taken back by the Club.
Now his entire body is covered with some of the Fine-Grade equipment he usually keeps, as well as some Rare and not-so-good equipment.
They wanted to force him to retire and ensure he could never make a comeback, but he never expected his turn for the better to come so quickly.
With this Perfect Equipment, he has the potential to rise to prominence, regardless of his physical attributes.
"Alright! Let's skip the formalities. Let's go to the Underworld together to level up and get familiar with it, then meet back here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning for a quest!"
Wang Qianduo interrupted the polite exchanges and led them to the Underground World.
Here, Yu Xiaoyu and her friends finally witnessed how Wang Qianduo and his group usually leveled up.
Was the view Underground really this expansive? Were there different types of Demon Rat? Was it really this easy to collect all the fragments?
Is this still the game I play?
Amidst the gasps of amazement, their fatigue quickly vanished, and they gained a general understanding of the other.
Although most of the time when they were killing monsters, they just watched Wang Qianduo bombarding them with attacks.
However, the Yu Sisters and Night Owl also gained recognition from everyone. Sword of Miracles and Song in the Clouds are top-tier professional players, and have the best skills among them.
They don't need the approval of others; in fact, they can adjust their actions based on the actions, equipment, and team composition of others to better cooperate with them.
While Yu Xiaoyu and her sister Yu Xiaoxin's skills were only slightly better than Old Wang's, they were both extremely talented.
With just a few pointers from the Sword of Miracles, their progress was almost visibly enhanced.
Although Old Wang is also very talented, his damage output and the skills of the Lord of the Elements somewhat limit his progress.
As for the Night Owl, this guy is really rich!
His extravagance even exceeded the comprehension of Lin Qimeng and other second-generation rich kids.
His Mecha Evolution is also Rare Mecha called Throwing Expert. This Mecha's special feature is that it can enhance various throwing items and consumables.
For example, with a Normal bomb, a normal Mecha is finished after one use; the damage depends entirely on the bomb's quality.
But his Mecha not only possess greater power, they can also split into three, allowing for a greater number of units.
This characteristic might not seem like much, but when paired with "money," the effect is truly explosive.
After being enhanced, various expensive consumables were able to achieve skill effects second only to Wang Qianduo.
That's why he doesn't have Blast Bomb; if he did, no one could match his damage output.
Of course, it's really expensive. He just threw out several thousand dollars in a short time. An ordinary person could go bankrupt in two days with that kind of money.
After everyone had familiarized themselves with the chests and opened them, they all logged off.

The next day
8 o'clock!
After gathering at the Mother Base, everyone headed together to the Wave Star Player Base.
"Wow!"
⊙ω⊙
When Yu Xiaoxin arrived here, he let out a long sigh!
"Don't overreact! It's embarrassing!"
Although Yu Xiaoyu's eyes were also shining, she suppressed her excitement and said to her younger sister.
"But... but this place is really so beautiful!" Yu Xiaoxin said, looking aggrieved.
"Yes! Shin-chan is absolutely right!"
"All right!"
It's no wonder everyone was surprised; the scenery of Wave Star truly amazed them.
Here, an endless expanse of azure sea contrasts beautifully with Ten Thousand Miles cloudless blue sky. Bright sunshine illuminates the golden sand beneath your feet, the sea breeze rustles through rows of coconut trees along the shore, seabirds call out in the sky, and gentle waves lap softly against the sand.
The scenery before me was breathtaking, especially since such places had practically disappeared on Earth Star due to population pressure.
It's fair to say that, apart from Wang Qianduo, everyone else present had basically only seen this kind of scenery in movies and other games.
But no other game can compare to this game, which is almost like the real world. The girls in the group are completely hooked.
"We've seen enough, shouldn't we get to our mission?" Wang Qianduo said after admiring the view for a while.
He was different from others; in his previous life, he had also been to Sanya. Because of the simple construction here, the scenery was even worse than the Sanya he remembered.
So he appreciated it for a moment and then realized what he meant, but his words directly angered several girls.
"Can't you at least not ruin the aesthetics!" Lin Qimeng
"A cold-blooded mission machine!" Sister Hua
"Hmph! You don't know how to appreciate things!" Yu Xiaoyu
"... Hmph...!" Yu Xiaoxin
Wang Qianduo: "... Alright, if you guys like it so much, why don't you come here and have some fun for a couple of days after the mission is over! And if all else fails, you can set up a base here and build it yourselves!"
Old Wang's suggestion was quickly approved by the girls, and then they went to rent a boat to prepare for going out to sea.
That's right, they need to rent a boat to go out to sea. Once they leave their base, Wave Star can summon Mecha, but since they are all sea Mecha, they need to keep flying.
But apart from Wang Qianduo, no one else in the team could do this.
Therefore, renting a boat is necessary, and other Player also travel in the same way on this Wave Star.
While Wave Star is now quite famous, there aren't many Player here.
The root cause is this: apart from tourism, all other resources are underwater.
Except for some special Mecha, normal Mecha are significantly weakened when operating underwater.
Although the Mecha do not breathe, they are still affected by the resistance and pressure of the water.
"This is it, the Oceanic Giant Beast Boat Rental Factory," Wang Qianduo said, looking at the map Zero had projected onto him and then at the factory buildings in front of him that were almost as tall as mountains.
"Welcome, everyone! Are you here to rent a boat?" a staff member greeted them as they entered.
"Yes! We need a ship that can accommodate 10 Mecha!" Lin Qimeng said.
"Please come with me!"
