Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

[Notice: You have issued the mission “War of Power”]

This was the new mission that William received after his talks with Nedrick.

[War of Power: After a negotiation with King Nedrick, you decided to work together and fight against the Iron Nation. If it results in your victory, you will receive 33.3% of the winnings from the war.]

[Mission Introduction: The King of the Gods continent represents desire. It also represents power and strength. You, a weak chosen one, have chosen to work with the King of a human nation. Isn’t it like asking a tiger for its hide?]

[Mission Difficulty: S]

[First Task: Increase the number of people in the Dawn Mercenary Team to 50,000 people. (23456/50000)]

[Mission Reward: ???]

(Comment: I don’t know how you managed to expand this mission so much, but your mission completion rate is not even 1%. Friendly reminder, delete your account and train again!)

William looked at the comment that had appeared. He did not care about it. The game gave comments based on his level, and It treated him as a player, not a legendary Boss with some powers.

“But… how flippant!” William was too lazy to retort.

He left the house within the palace. Walking on the road lined with black stones, he could see many people out on the streets. A number of shops lined the streets, along with numerous players selling their goods at the entrances.

“Highest grade blue one-handed sword, 230 silver coins. Selling it for a cheap price!” A level 10 player, who had just changed occupations, raised a beginner level blue one-handed sword and shouted at the top of his lungs. The passing-by players did not even spare a glance at him.

The better the blue equipment, the higher its attribute requirements. An ordinary level 10 player would not even be able to lift it up. A highest grade blue weapon was not worse than a small silver weapon in some aspects.

“Selling the bones of mermen at a discounted price! Yes! Discounted Price. The more you buy, the cheaper it is! 100 pieces for five silver coins, 1000 pieces for 60 silver coins!”

A strong and good-natured player raised his eyebrows. “Perfect. I have a mission that requires merman bones. Give me 3000 pieces.”

“Okay. 180 silver coins. I’ll give you a discount of 30 silver coins.” The seller threw a large bag. Some bones fell out of the bag.

“How nice. It’s so cheap.”

“…” William picked his eyebrows. If 100 pieces cost five silver coins, why did 1000 pieces cost 60 silver coins?

He glanced at the chicken bones that had fallen out and could not help but grin. But he did not dare to say anything.

But.

He was like a firefly in the night sky. Even from far away, he caught the attention of others. People immediately recognized that he was a legendary Boss.

Yet the handsome prince did not pay any attention to the players. Instead, he pretended that nothing had happened and looked around, as if he wanted to buy something. Many players approached him and tried to sell him objects, but he only glanced at them and continued walking.

“Damn, isn’t that the team leader? What does he want to buy?”

“Who knows? Just take something out and sell it to him. Legendary tycoons like him are foolish. It should be easy to cheat him!”

The players chatted without a care. When they spoke, the mastermind would automatically filter their words, and NPCs would not pay any attention to them.

William acted as if nothing had happened and continued wandering the streets for a very long time. He even bumped into a few members of the Dawn Mercenary Team. When these players greeted him, he would arrogantly nod at them.

Not long after.

The city lord, William, stood at the most crowded area of the street and looked at the players surrounding him.

He scanned the crowd. A large majority of them were level 12 or 13 professionals. They had many close-combat techniques, but few magic techniques.

He could hear some players who wanted to group together discussing among themselves. “Go and talk to the city lord. See if we can join in for any missions. When we come back, we can fight the mermen. But don’t accept those magic-types. They are a bunch of weaklings who can only shoot fireballs and ice arrows…”

A group of magic-type players could only gather, dumbfounded. They thought about what escape routes they had.

First was that they could delete their account and train again.

Second route was to just endure it. Whether they were strong or not depended on the version. If they did not die, eventually, they would be able to get out.

In the third, they could try gathering wealth. If they became rich, becoming stronger would be easy. They could craft a set of gold equipment and weapons, and they would be strong, no matter what version they were in…

Lastly, some of them had thought of different ways. They would mainly be magic-types and supplement it with close-combat. They would be like Gandalf…

But William wanted to tell them, when the heavens closed a door for you, they would typically close the windows as well…

Of course, this only applied to the useless and the poor!

While William was thinking of how to issue the mission and attract even more people.

A figure suddenly blocked his view.

It was a female player.

Large chests, long legs, and her perky buttocks made for a great figure. She also looked rather pretty, and she belonged to the Elfin race.

She acted like a cute spoiled child and went over to William. “Team leader, I am Cute, your subordinate. Do you remember me? You personally took me in as your member. Team leader, do you have any missions you would like Cute to do?”

William used his insight and found out that her name was ‘Cute Little Fairy’. He had never seen her in his previous life, but he could not pinpoint why her name sounded so familiar to him?

Thus, he furrowed his eyebrows slightly, as if he was thinking of something. After a while, he asked, “Oh, did I personally take you into my mercenary team?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Of course! Team leader, you are so busy all the time, and probably forgot about me. But if you have any missions, you can let me know. I pledge that I will be able to do it.”

Cute Little Fairy quickly nodded her head like a chick did while eating. She had not expected the team leader Boss to talk to her. She almost hugged William’s arm and started swinging it.

Luckily, William was not a boss who was obsessed with women. He glanced at her 36D chest and said in a low voice, “I have a mission for you. The human nations are about to go to war. The Dawn Mercenary Team cannot miss out on this opportunity.

“Before the two nations fight, we must take the change to expand our team and become more influential.

“Since you are part of my mercenary troops, I hope that you will be able to pull in more professionals to join our mercenary team.”

Ding dong.

[You have received the mission “Pull into Team”]

[Join the Dawn Mercenary Team: You can appeal to your good friends, comrades, and NPCs to join the Dawn Mercenary Team.]

[Mission Introduction: For every professional you invite, you will receive five contribution points. The person who invites the most people will receive a gold weapon of the same level.]

[Mission Time Limit: 15 days]

[Mission Difficulty: None]

[Mission Reward: Contribution points]

[Mission Reward: Experience]

Cute Little Fairy’s eyes widened. It was as if she had not expected this to happen, and she covered her mouth cutely and pranced off while quivering. No one knew how many players she would be able to swindle…

When the players saw that someone had received a mission.

They all gathered…

But William only cared about the members of his mercenary team. This caused some players to silently scold themselves.

But as the news about the mission details and rewards spread.

The many benefits and rewards from the mission started to spread in the Black Lava Nation.

William stood at the street for a few hours giving out missions. He accumulated a lot of popularity. Then, he left.

Meanwhile,

He had used the transmission scroll to tell Lautner and the rest to spread the mission in the mercenary residence. It was best to spread the mission as quickly as possible and invite as many sheep into the mercenary team. He could comfortably shave off their wool then.

Beep.

William picked his eyebrows. He took out the transmission scroll and glanced at it. He mumbled in shock, “Marquis Chris is here?”

“Then that’s easy… I just have to control him. I have to wait one more day.” As William spoke, he glanced at his ability to control souls. He still had one more space, the space reserved for Marquis Chris.
