Chapter 174 Lucas and Lucia

The matter ended smoothly and Davis had been assigned a place to stay in their camp along with a slight introduction of himself.

Two days passed within the flick of a finger.

To his astonishment, Davis was greatly surprised to see how cultured these people were unlike the rag tags or rogues he thought them to be.

It was more like they belonged to a single family where each and one of them enjoyed the other's company as far as he could see.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

This sight gave Davis the chills, 'This shouldn't how a mercenaries base is supposed to be like, right?' Was his thought, but didn't let it bother him anymore.

He did consider the thought if he was trapped in an illusion formation, but after a probe, that didn't seem to be the case.

Before long, he didn't stay put but gathered information on how things worked here from the members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

His presence invited a lot of doubt from the others as their leader didn't tell them that he was a genius, but it didn't take long for the rumours to spread that the newbie killed a lot of Ferocious Vultures below the Fifth Stage with a single attack.

This caused them to laugh, and seeing how this newbie was just a Peak Energy Condensation Stage Cultivator, they brushed off the matter like it was just another joke.

That said, they treated him well and didn't make things difficult as they saw him as one of their own.

"Something weird you say? Now that I think of it, there was an intense energy fluctuation near the borders of Desolate Plains, in the southern direction. Father said that it was a spatial fluctuation that was either caused by some treasure coming into existence or some powerful existence breaking into the void to enter the legendary Immortal Stage! A person who looked like a 15-year old, young and charming, said with a reverence glowing in his eyes.

"At that time, it was a hot topic for everyone here to talk about, haha."

"I see, it must be most likely a treasure no?" Davis questioned back with a profound gaze.

"Haha, I'll have to disappoint you. Experts swarmed to that place but there was not a single treasure there, much less a powerful existence breaking through..." The youth wryly laughed.

And to do higher-level missions, he needs a higher cultivation base.

To reach a higher cultivation base, he needed more resources which are bought by using Cloud Spring points.

He smiled knowing that it was a circle; a circle of development, for both himself and the mercenaries.

Still, he wasn't bothered by it as he thought that it will take only a few years for him to rise in position.

Besides, he wasn't even sure if he will stay here till he finally becomes the top existence in this place.

Then again, thinking of a certain wager, he shook his head.

After all, he plunged into it himself.

With the basic uniform, he couldn't even earn a single Cloud Spring point as he doesn't even have a Cloud Spring mercenary badge.

To get that, he needed to complete his first mission.

"Don't say that, Davis. Our Cloud Spring Mercenary should've treated you better but..." Before she could finish her words, she got interrupted.

"It was I who accepted his challenge. No need to dwell on it..." Davis replied as he smiled. His smile contained a trace of greed.

Daniuis was worried that Davis would hold a grudge against him once he grows up, so to make up for his offense, he threw a wager.

The wager was that Davis should reach the Captain position in a year without using any Soul Attacks and Soul Defense.

If he passes, then he gets to choose a treasure from the Cloud Spring Mercenaries, regardless of the quality; grade.

Davis had no intentions to lose this kind of opportunity, nor was he so naive as to decline this kind of wager just for maintaining face or reputation.

Originally, he thought that he should increase his Essence Gathering Cultivation, but with this, his plan changed.
