Chapter 2786 – Foundation Versus Foundation?

Meteorite City, Skyflare Hotel:

Due to the arrival of Shi Feng’s group of four, Skyflare’s executives had decided to assemble in full . As a result, the conference room serving as the meeting venue seemed a bit crowded despite being the size of a basketball court .

Over 100 Skyflare executives filled the conference room, every one of them at Level 133 or above . Even the weakest among those present were at the Refinement Realm and Truth Realm standards . The number of peak experts exceeded 20 .

If Skyflare operated in the modern God’s Domain with such a force, it would be considered a top adventurer team that even the various superpowers would be wary of . After all, only the superpowers could match such a force; first-rate Guilds wouldn’t even dream of accomplishing a similar feat .

In addition, among Skyflare’s executives, five possessed incredibly strong life auras, proof that they had crossed the Tier 4 threshold already . Compared to the rumors floating around the city, Skyflare actually had one more Tier 4 player under its command . Of the three newly promoted Tier 4 players, one of them was the female Assassin Crimson Billow . The remaining two were both vice commanders of Skyflare . One of them was Blood Blade, a Level 135 male Berserker, while the other was Fated Fern, a Level 135 female Oracle .

“What do you think, Brother Black Flame?” Lionheart asked when he saw Shi Feng enter the room . Pointing at the gathered Skyflare members, he chuckled and said, “These are the elites of Skyflare . Are they to your satisfaction?”

“They are indeed excellent . ” Shi Feng nodded in agreement as he scanned the crowd before him . Smiling, he asked, “Is this the surprise you told me about, Commander Lionheart?”

Setting aside the five Tier 4 experts, just the 100-plus Tier 3 experts present already represented astonishing combat power . Many of these Tier 3 experts sported Epic items, with some even boasting Fragmented Legendary items . It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the total number of Fragmented Legendary items that Skyflare had exceeded that of any individual superpower operating in the modern era .

With such a well-equipped team at his command, Lionheart indeed had the qualifications to be proud .

“Of course not . ” Lionheart smiled, shaking his head . He then took out an ancient crystal from his bag and asked, “What do you think this is?”

After a casual glance at the crystal, Shi Feng immediately revealed a look of surprise on his face .

“A Tier 5 Sealing Crystal!” Shi Feng couldn’t help doubting his eyes as he took in the dark-gray crystal in Lionheart’s hand .

Tier 5 Magic Scrolls were incredibly rare in God’s Domain because Tier 5 Skills and Spells possessed astonishing power . The requirement for sealing them in a Magic Scroll was incredibly high . Moreover, even if one successfully stored a Tier 5 Skill, one would be fortunate if the resulting Magic Scroll could exhibit half of the Skill’s original power .

A Sealing Crystal, on the other hand, could perfectly seal Skills and Spells at the Tier 4 standard or above . Moreover, although Sealing Crystals were one-time-use items, they did not impose any usage requirements . Players could freely use the stored Skill or Spell at 100% potential .

Meanwhile, the darker the color of a Sealing Crystal, the stronger the Skill or Spell stored inside . Since Lionheart’s Sealing Crystal was dark gray, the sealed Skill or Spell was at the Tier 5 standard at the very minimum .

“That’s right . This is indeed a Tier 5 Sealing Crystal,” Lionheart said with a faint smile . “We got lucky and came across a visiting high noble from another city . After helping him complete an incredibly difficult quest, we were able to purchase this Tier 5 Sealing Crystal from him . “I believe that with this Tier 5 Sealing Crystal, our operation will proceed much more smoothly . ”

“Indeed . If the Skill or Spell sealed inside is sufficiently powerful, it might be enough to land a heavy blow on the Infant Dragon,” Shi Feng said, nodding . While it was true that an unrestrained Tier 4 Infant Dragon was on par with Tier 5 monsters, that was true only for the average Tier 5 monster . A Tier 4 Infant Dragon still couldn’t stop Tier 5 Skills and Spells that were above average in power . Hence, this Tier 5 Sealing Crystal could indeed serve as a trump card in the upcoming raid .

“Skyflare will assist you with everything it has this time, Brother Black Flame . I have gathered all of Skyflare’s top experts . We have a total of 124 people, five of whom are at Tier 4 . We have also finished distributing the teams . For the following operation, we will all listen to your command, Brother Black Flame,” Lionheart said proudly . “If you have anyone you wish to include in the team, you can freely make adjustments to the team, as well . ”

“I really have to thank you for this, Commander Lionheart,” Shi Feng said gratefully . ”

While he was somewhat confident of dealing with the Tier 4 Infant Dragon, he had never actually killed an unrestrained Tier 4 Infant Dragon . Hence, it wouldn’t be strange if their team suffered annihilation .

For the Skyflare adventurer team to give him its full support for such a risky operation required a lot of courage and determination .

“Nonsense . We are only helping each other, Brother Black Flame . If this operation succeeds, Skyflare will also greatly benefit from it, so how can we not give it our all?” Lionheart said . “If there are no problems on your side, we can take action at any time . ”

Lionheart understood that their operation this time carried great risks . However, he had decided to go through with it not because he was betting on the low odds of success but to tie Shi Feng to his boat .

Both the Crystal of Souls and Soul Water were of considerable help to players in completing their Tier 4 Promotion Quest . One example of this was Crimson Billow, who had failed her Promotion Quest before . After using a Crystal of Souls, she had completed her Promotion Quest on the second attempt .

In fact, even Blood Blade and Fated Fern had mentioned that without the help of the Crystal of Souls and Soul Water, they would’ve most likely failed their promotions .

Hence, Lionheart began placing even greater importance on the Crystal of Souls and Soul Water . Meanwhile, if he wished to secure a stable supply of these two items, he had to befriend Shi Feng .

As for the Infant Dragon raid itself, Lionheart didn’t really care whether it succeeded or failed . So long as he could tie Shi Feng to his side, he would make a profit .

“There’s no problem on my side . However, we’ll need to reorganize the composition of your team, as I am going to add three people,” Shi Feng said .

“Three people?” Lionheart looked reflexively at the three people standing behind Shi Feng .

At this time, the three people behind Shi Feng had concealed their auras and information using Black Cloaks . However, based on the appearances they revealed, Lionheart recognized one of them as Yu Luo, whom he had met at the Auction House previously . As for the two other people, they should be part of the group that entered Meteorite City with Shi Feng .

What surprised Lionheart was that Shi Feng was actually bringing only three people for the operation .

After all, they were going to raid an Infant Dragon, a creature known to be invincible against opponents of the same tier . Let alone a team of 100-plus Tier 3 experts, even an army of 10,000 Tier 3 experts might not be enough to defeat the Infant Dragon .

Yet, Shi Feng was planning to bring only three people to the raid .

“Mhm . This is my first time visiting Meteorite City,” Shi Feng said, nodding . “Sorry for the poor display, Commander Lionheart . ”

“Nonsense . Since you wish to adjust the team, we naturally don’t have a problem with it, Brother Black Flame,” Lionheart said, shaking his head . He then invited Shi Feng to the team and passed the team leader’s authority to Shi

Feng .

Afterward, Shi Feng inspected the team’s statistics and assigned Skyflare’s five Tier 5 players to one squadron . As for the Tier 3 players, he divided them across six squadrons, with one squadron having 12 healers and the other five having none .

Upon seeing Shi Feng’s team distribution, Skyflare’s members were inevitably confused . If their squadrons did not possess a single healer, what would they do when they got damaged?

While healers could heal players belonging to different squadrons, placing all of the team’s healers in a separate squadron would definitely lower their healing efficiency . Due to positioning issues, the healers wouldn’t be able to react immediately if players from other squadrons received damage .

However, what Skyflare’s members didn’t know was that Shi Feng had never thought about the team’s Tier 3 players taking damage and losing HP .

After all, if a Tier 3 player got hit by a Tier 4 Infant Dragon, even if it were just a scratch, the player would die without question . There was no need for a healer at all .

“Everyone in the healer squadron must prepare at least 20 Master Mana Recovery Potions and 20 Master Steel Potions . If you don’t have enough, you can go buy them now . I’ll pay for them,” Shi Feng said as he looked at the 12 Tier 3 healers .

At Shi Feng’s words, everyone present gasped .

A Master Mana Recovery Potion could not only instantly restore a player’s Mana to full but also increase a player’s Mana recovery speed by 150% for three minutes . With 20 Master Mana Recovery Potions, a healer could last through a battle involving hundreds of thousands of players .

A Master Steel Potion was even more extraordinary . At this stage of the game, it was considered a divine lifesaving potion .

When players consumed the potion, not only would their Defense increase by 300%, but their maximum HP would also increase by 1,000% . Although the potion only had a 15-second duration, its Cooldown was only 60 seconds .

If every healer carried 20 Master Steel Potions with them, they would practically be immortal healers, so long as their potion stock lasted .

“Oh, I almost forgot . Every healer must also carry at least five Magic Scrolls holding Tier 3 Defensive Curses . It would be even better if you have a Tier 4 Defensive Magic Scroll,” Shi Feng added .

“This…” Lionheart felt a little awkward when he heard Shi Feng’s words . “Brother Black Flame, I don’t think there are even 20 or 30 Magic Scrolls holding Tier 3 Defensive Curses . I’m afraid it’ll be impossible to supply every healer with five . ”

“Is that so?” After giving the matter some thought, Shi Feng said, “If that’s the case, have everyone bring at least one . ”

Afterward, Shi Feng spent the next half an hour reorganizing and reoutfitting the team until he was satisfied .

“This should be enough . ” Looking at the items the team members carried, Shi Feng nodded and said, “Next, we can start making our way over to the Dragon . ”

“Okay!” Lionheart revealed a bright smile when he heard Shi Feng’s words . He then turned to Wind Chaser and said, “Chaser, go make the necessary preparations quickly . ”

“Understood!” Wind Chaser nodded, aware of Lionheart’s intentions . Their purpose in assisting Shi Feng this time wasn’t to raid the Tier 4 Infant Dragon but to rope him to their side, as well as show him the power of the Skyflare adventurer team .

“Preparations? Aren’t we setting off right away?” Shi Feng asked strangely . “Brother Black Flame, you might not be aware of this, but that Infant Dragon’s location is far from Meteorite City . Even if we travel on Mounts, it’ll take us around three days to arrive,” Lionheart said . “Hence, for the sake of this operation, I contacted the city’s high nobles a few days ago to borrow some Flying Mounts from them . ”

“You’ll rent Flying Mounts?” Shi Feng was a little surprised . He never thought that Lionheart would help him to such an extent .

The Ghostfire Hills where the Infant Dragon had its lair was indeed distant . Even the shortest route there would require them to cross nearly 30 leveling maps, including some Level 140 to Level 150 maps along the way . Hence, reaching the Infant Dragon wouldn’t be an easy task . In addition, Flying Mounts were exceedingly rare in the ancient God’s Domain, for some reason . They were so rare that no player in Meteorite City had gotten their hands on a Flying Mount even now . Hence, players who wished to travel across long distances quickly would have to rent Flying Mounts from the city’s high nobles .

However, to do so, one would first have to raise their Favorability with a high noble to the level of Respect . Meanwhile, in Meteorite City, the players eligible to rent a Flying Mount numbered no more than ten . Moreover, the rental cost was a whopping 5,000 Magic Crystals per day .

Most importantly, players could rent Flying Mounts only ten times per month at most . Hence, the city’s player forces would normally choose to rent Flying Mounts only for urgent matters .

With so many people participating in the operation this time, Skyflare would have to rent at least seven Flying Mounts . In other words, Skyflare would use up seven of its monthly rental opportunities .

“That’s right . With the Flying Mounts, we’ll need only half a day to reach the Ghostfire Hills,” Lionheart said delightedly .

In the entire Meteorite City, he was most likely the only person who would dare make such a generous move .

However, Shi Feng shook his head in response and said calmly, “There’s no need to rent Flying Mounts from those high nobles . You’ll be wasting your rental opportunities . We can just fly there right away . ” “Fly there right away?” Lionheart parroted Shi Feng’s words in confusion . “Mhm . ” Shi Feng nodded . Smiling, he said, “I have a Flying tool, so we can fly there right away . There’s no need for you to trouble yourself . ”

After saying so, Shi Feng led Lionheart and the others to the Skyflare Hotel’s rooftop .

Skyflare’s bewildered members followed after Shi Feng, trying to figure out what kind of means Shi Feng had that could fly their whole team to the Ghostfire Hills . After all, their team had over 120 people . It would take seven Flying Mounts just to transport their whole team simultaneously .

However, as Skyflare’s executives were whispering among themselves, Shi Feng opened the lid of a pouch hanging at his waist . The next moment, a metallic behemoth over 100 meters in length emerged from the pouch, thoroughly blocking out the sky above everyone .
