Guild Wars-Novel

Chapter 467 - Rewards! 1

Eva rubbed her face with a sigh.

She felt her hatred and anger towards Sunna slowly bleed away. It wasn’t that Eva had suddenly decided to forgive Sunna’s actions, no she had just lost the energy to even be angry.

At this point, anyone could tell that Sunna was a colossal retard. Nothing she had said or done since she had broken ties with Eva had shown the least bit of common sense or even basic intelligence.

She was mentally challenged. There were no two ways about it. No one could mount a proper defense for Sunna against this claim. Even the other gods had been stunned and amused by her antics, finally realizing that they had been harboring an idiot all this time.

For Eva to actively go about seeking revenge on a mentally retarded person for their actions would be demeaning to Eva and her intelligence.

Of course, Sunna still needed to be taught a lesson, else she would just continue being an annoying hindrance, but it was no longer a goal, just a passing thought. With that, Eva ignored the retarded Sun Goddess and focused on her own rewards.

She was surrounded by the happy cheers of the other survivors who felt like they were on cloud nine. They had never expected to luck out like this and acquire such mind-boggling boons at all, especially the likes of Joker and Happy Scholar who were currently hugging each other and jumping up and down in joy.

The Emergency Quest had given them a lot of rep points and 300,000 gold!

Boss, not everyone was like Umbra with their own basic internal currency which at the current point had the same value as a single platinum coin.

300,000 gold was a hefty sum and could be used for a great many things. Even Kamisuo and co who had enjoyed many benefits from being Umbra’s closest allies felt like this much was a godsend.

Not to mention, that this was the reward per player!

Of course, for the core members of Umbra and to a lesser degree the expert players who had survived, this wasn’t that much. They had more value in UPs than this reward, but well, it could be used to buy food for their dogs.

The 7 Epic Treasure Chests were the true takeaway though!

Sure, there was only a 30% chance to get an Epic item from within and even that was dependent on the Luck stat, but it was still great! At least, they had 7 chances to try for an Epic item!

Even if they failed, that would be 7 Rare items for free for them to manage!

Apart from disgusting fellows like Umbra’s top-brass who wore Epic items like they were the new fashion, the rest mostly used Rare stuff at the highest.

Even Gentle Flower, Noble Soul, and Yui had just a few Epic items to their name with the majority of their loadout being Rare. With this, they could upgrade their equipment for sure!

Then, there was the mindboggling World Event completion bonus. As Boundless was an incomparably cruel and unfair game, only those who had survived to the end for any event, usually the hardest part of it, would get the system rewards.

The rest could only enjoy freshly cooked nothing for their efforts. If you didn’t like it, git gud scrub and survive till the end next time!

Funny enough, those cucks would always be present for every event due to the scenery and the small chance that they too could be the ones winning such absurd rewards as long as they managed to hide in a hole deep enough to survive.

The rewards for the World Event truly showed the reason why it had taken so long for it to begin and why despite millions of players participating, only 50 had been able to stay alive (which was a fluke due to the existence of Umbra).

In fact, it wasn’t calculated solely based on the performance during this battle, but everything that had occurred preceding it.

This included the First Guild War, the Void Infestation Emergency Quest, and even Draco using the Abyssal Key. Had he not used up the Abyssal Key, the rating would have been even higher and they would have gotten a lot more.

While the 8,000% exp, 300k gold, and 7 Epic Treasure Chests looked super sweet from the Abyssal Invasion Emergency Event, the rewards given from the World Event were smaller but much more impactful.

The two couldn’t even be compared.

100 reputation with all world organizations might not seem like much... but chief, you might be forgetting that the Church of Light was also a World Organization! The Mages Association, the Merchant Guild, and more.

Reputation allowed one to access special resources or services from organizations or countries depending on the amount of reputation in total. Some even allowed you to spend reputation points for rare items or unique services.

In the case of the former, you kept your reputation points but paid with something else, either platinum, rare items, or a specific token of sorts, and in the case of the latter, you just spend your reputation directly.

Usually, when doing the latter, the item or service you would gain would be of a higher quality than the former. One should not forget that in the previous timeline the top 2 players who had low-quality Divine items had gotten them by exchanging 70 reputation points with the Church of Light.

Of course, the process for that had been arduous and heavily based on luck, but still.

What was even more shocking was the 1,000 reputation with the War Maniac Pavilion! The number one power in the world! This organization held 90% of the main plane’s military power and they had access to items and resources that could likely overshadow the Church of Light.

Unfortunately for players, the 1,000 rep points could only be used in exchange for a common recommendation to join as an Unranked Warrior. Basically, what Draco had gotten from the big fuss he had made back on the first day by lasting 36 rounds in the Nightingale’s Cry survival mode at Rank 0.

Still, joining the War Maniac Pavilion, even as a bottom feeder fighter, was far greater than joining Umbra or any other organization, this much Eva knew. Draco knew this too, and the reason he hadn’t joined yet was that he knew he was nowhere near strong enough, Divine Class, bloodline and all.

In comparison, the 70,000 gold appeared nearly insulting but then... a free Legendary Treasure Chest! This was beyond anything Eva had expected, for there was a 30% chance for each of these 50 fellows to come out of this with a Legendary item!

If they failed, they would be getting an Epic item anyway, so this was a great boon! Eva could not understand why the AI would give out something so good so easily.

Then, her face became bitter when she remembered that she wouldn’t know anyway. No player in the previous timeline had truly survived to the end in any World Event, so nobody had ever gotten any of the rewards per se.

They had almost always been wiped out to the man and nobody in their right mind who had actually survived had been suicidal enough to post the rewards they might have gotten.

Eva’s eyes scrolled down. So, it seemed only 6 guilds survived, including those two idiots Joker and Happy Scholar. Truthfully, if those two hadn’t been relatively pleasant in the previous timeline, she and Draco would have been much crueler to them.

Hmph, at least the rewards from this World Event would certainly allow their two guilds to climb out of the rut they had gotten themselves in to regain their Legendary status. One could say it was their luck.

As for the individual roster, it had been completely dominated by Umbra, unlike before when the last spots had been occupied by Gentle Flower, Noble Soul, and Yui. The three guildmasters had naturally noticed this and could not help but smile bitterly, but they had made peace with their place in the world.

Working with Umbra for so long had broadened their horizons so greatly that even the previous timeline version of them would be shocked and inferior. The only advantage their previous timeline selves would even have would be that they experienced more events and that they had climbed more Ranks.

But hehe. Everyone here had received 80 levels worth of exp. It seemed like many would be hitting Rank 3 tonight, minus those who had to upgrade items of their own.

Eva understood that the reason her placement was so high was because of her Goddess Form. The Angel Army and Goddess Wrath had really boosted her up, but it was nothing compared to what Cobra had done.

He had legitimately taken down two of the Rank 3 Void Devourers, so the only reason Eva had managed to one-up him was because the damage of Zaine and Roma had been calculated towards Eva’s contribution since she had linked them to the party.

But still, he felt like a munchkin compared to the almighty Fitter Cleric who had Lady Luck throwing him OP skills one after the another, like they were gr.a.p.es she was slowly feeding her hubby.

With both the Star Storm that had literally cleared player and monster alike, then the Thunderstorm that had reduced all Void Devourers by 10% of their HP, how was the Vice Guildmaster of Umbra supposed to compare?

Eva’s eyes moved to the fellow, who was displaying a calm expression despite probably foreseeing his soon to come rewards that would shake the soul of even a Titled God.

He then sighed and closed the screens before him, gazing into the sunset. One of his arms held his staff tightly while the other held the voluptuous Slim Fatty, and his eyes seemed to glaze over.

Once again, this fellow had escaped the present and was enjoying the visions of his ultimate future with grandeur and pomp. Even Eva had to admit that right now, Fitter Cleric was on top of the world. He had his Luck, his money, and his beautiful babe all in hand.

Who could stop him?

Eva snorted and looked away. She swore that she would later sicc Essence Stalker on him, for only that fellow could control this unbridled Luckmancer. In this battle alone, he had been wild and unruly so many times that even she had gotten pissed, but she dared not fight against Luck like Fitter’s head-on.

Eva checked her personal rewards for coming in second, and they were quite good. At least 3 times better than those from the Dragon Slaying Event. With this, she could arm more members of Umbra with good stuff.

However, what had Eva slightly more excited were the rewards given to the guild. Eva knew what they were, but decided to inspect them anyway just to be sure.

｢Divine Blessing Tokens – Consumable

Rank: Semi-Divine (100% effectiveness)

Effect: Summon a random True God to bless your Kingdom with an iota of Divine Energy, strengthening it and granting it more energy permanently.｣

｢Cassus Belli Waivement Scroll – Consumable

Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)

Effect: One can either reject a Cassus Belli despite the existence of a Just Cause, or one can declare war on any party without the need for a Just Cause.｣

｢Compulsory Muster Scroll – Consumable

Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)

Effect: Forcefully draft any group of people affiliated with your state, or any neutral party within 1,000 miles of your state regardless of their willingness.｣

An evil expression manifested on Eva’s face when she read through the effects of the latter two. They would be perfect for expanding Vita City-State’s conquest of regions when they eventually swallowed up the entire Paradise Lands and turned into a fledgling kingdom.

The Divine Blessing Token could wait until they upgraded that further to a Divine Empire. Eva had a feeling that if they rushed to use it now, they would regret it deeply later on.

No, this was not some random gut feeling, this was her bloodline precognition kicking in, only that it gave her a very vague feeling and just disappeared.

As such, Eva put it away and then focused on the reward for getting the last hit. It had been buried by the prompts from Sunna and her foolishness so she was super intrigued to assess what it was.
