Chapter 78

(Listen, listen, listen (Great thanks to 'Dancing with Maple', 'tanzit', and 'Trainee Gentleman XXX' for the rewards!))

In just three days, time had flown by...

At the southern gate square of the Supply Town, the largest square in the southern part of the town, just a bit further ahead was the southern exit of the Supply Town.

Although the square was quite large, it was neither on the way to the Beast Forest nor a major entry or exit route, so usually, not many people would be here.

However, today, the place was packed with people, a sea of humanity!

Wu Yan, Chrysanthemum, Misaki, Ikaros, and Lilin, a group of five, stood in an inconspicuous corner of the square, looking at the massive crowd in front of them, and couldn't help but be amazed.

There had to be at least ten thousand people here!

"It seems that the news from the auction house these past few days wasn't spread in vain..." Wu Yan looked at the endless crowd, seeing the various small and large groups, even mercenary teams, and couldn't help but frown.

Because, if the so-called treasure was found, everyone here would... no, definitely, become enemies!

Wu Yan didn't believe that anyone here would be kind enough to share the treasure they found.

"It looks like many families and mercenary teams have sent people to get involved in this mess..." Misaki's eyes sparkled with an indescribable light as she glanced around the square and said.

Of course, Misaki wasn't counting the number of people; she wasn't that bored. At this moment, Misaki was using the system's perception to detect the strength of everyone present.

Chrysanthemum, while holding Lilin, was also doing the same thing.

The light in her eyes never stopped moving, and with a tense expression, Chrysanthemum said, "There are so many strong people..."

Wu Yan and the others had only been in this Spalier world for a short time, and even Wu Yan, who had arrived the earliest, had only been here for a few months. He wasn't familiar with the place.

He didn't know the names of those families or mercenary teams, and even if he could detect the names of the people here with the system's perception, he wouldn't bother to remember them, after all, there were tens of thousands of people...

However, detecting their strength was absolutely necessary!

Because they might become enemies...

There were countless people below the fifth rank, and quite a few at the fifth rank, but these people couldn't pose a threat to Wu Yan and the others, so they didn't pay much attention. What truly concerned Wu Yan were those who could pose a threat to them.

"There are nearly a hundred people at the sixth rank!" Chrysanthemum said, looking at Wu Yan.

"There are fifteen people at the seventh rank!" Misaki pursed her lips and turned to Wu Yan.

"There are no eighth-rank people yet..." Wu Yan frowned and glanced at the crowd.

Misaki narrowed her eyes, barely suppressing the excitement that made her want to spark, and with a slight smile, said, "So many strong people, it's really..."

"Exciting, right?" Wu Yan rolled his eyes at Misaki and said irritably, "You, we're estimating how many people can pose a threat to us, and you're already getting excited. Remember, there are over a hundred people here who can harm us!"

"Sure, over a hundred, but in reality, almost none of them can pose a threat to me..." Misaki touched her bangs and smiled, "Although there are fifteen people above level 60, the highest level here is still me, level 69!"

"It's not a threat to you, but it is to us!" Wu Yan shrugged and waved his hand, "I'm only level 50, and there are over a hundred people here who can deal with me. Besides, even though you're the highest level here, you're not afraid of one-on-one fights, but what about a group attack?"

"Alright, alright, I was just talking casually. Do you think I don't know? Really, why be so serious." Misaki's enthusiasm was completely dampened by Wu Yan's words, and she felt that the guy in front of her was really annoying.

"Alright, we still have Ikaros, so there's no need to worry..." Chrysanthemum interrupted their conversation irritably. If they were worried about such things with their strength, wouldn't she be trembling with fear?

"Indeed, we still have Ikaros..." Turning to look at Ikaros, who was standing beside her with a blank expression, Wu Yan immediately felt reassured.

If Misaki still had to worry about being ganged up on, given that there were over a dozen people of the same rank as her, then Ikaros had no such concerns!

Wu Yan could confidently say that even if everyone here ganged up, they wouldn't be a match for Ikaros!

Group battles were meaningless against Ikaros, a strategic universal angel equipped with a series of high-destructive weapons!

Ikaros was a being capable of destroying a civilization!

Moreover, they weren't pushovers either!

...

Silently putting away the system character status list, Wu Yan glanced at the dozen or so seventh-rank leaders at the front of the crowd and smiled slightly.

Although his and Chrysanthemum's levels weren't considered strong here, there were over a hundred people with higher levels than him, and who knew how many were higher than Chrysanthemum.

However, on their side, they had Misaki, who was definitely the strongest here, at least until the eighth-rank people showed up!

Of course, what made Wu Yan feel the most reassured was Ikaros!

Level 77! Eighth-rank!

And even among the eighth-rank, she was definitely one of the top!

Plus, the series of equipment in Ikaros' inventory, which made Wu Yan's heart tremble, made him believe that Ikaros was absolutely the strongest among the eighth-rank!

Even if a ninth-rank person came, they wouldn't fare well!

Because, aside from the three C-rank rare weapons, Ikaros also had a B-rank equipment!

Golden equipment!

That was something only ninth-rank people were qualified to use!

That was something even Wu Yan didn't have!

That was something even eighth-rank people didn't have!

With this level of equipment, in an operation without ninth-rank people, could the strongest be in doubt?

Moreover, even the other equipment was not to be underestimated.

There were differences among C-rank equipment, just like there were differences among people of the same rank. For example, two seventh-rank people, one at level 60 and the other at level 69, had a significant difference.

The same applied to equipment. Among C-rank equipment, there were differences among rare weapons. Wu Yan's two rare weapons, Zekiden Shana was in the upper-middle range, while Nendou Armor was in the upper range!

Ikaros' Permanent Tail Missile and Absolute Defense Circle were both in the upper range!

Apollo was even more impressive, showing as C-rank, but Wu Yan had asked the system, and Ikaros' Apollo, although C-rank, was almost B-rank!

An extremely high level and extremely strong equipment created this heaven-defying girl!

So, even though they were only five people, including a little girl who couldn't help much and could only be a mascot, Wu Yan wasn't afraid of anyone.

Even if they couldn't match the numbers of those mercenary teams and large families, each with hundreds or thousands of people, in terms of quality, they were absolutely not inferior to any group!

Plus, with the items Wu Yan had exchanged for 70,000 item points last night, he didn't believe that this treasure hunt would end in failure!

In short, Wu Yan was also getting excited!
