Chapter 1520: Chapter 948: Plane Exploration (2): Setting Sail
"Thunder Clan? The Lost Elf Tribe that has yet to be found?"
Optimist raised an eyebrow.
"That’s right, it’s them."
Little Xian Miao nodded.
Optimist felt a stir in his heart, and his eyes brightened slightly:
"Could it be... they have news?"
He was very excited because all the veteran players of "Elf Kingdom" knew that locating one of the seven Elven tribes, the Thunder Clan, would surely bring immense rewards.
Back then, Cyber experienced this by leading the Frost Elves home, catapulting him from an unknown ordinary player to a legendary figure within the game.
To this day, whenever the elves mention him, it’s always with reverence, evoking the envy of many players.
Not to mention, his experience has even been recorded in the official archives of "Elf Kingdom" and the annals of the Elf Clan within the game!
In other words, just the act of bringing the Frost Tribe home was enough to ensure Cyber’s everlasting fame in the game.
The group of players in the expedition thought of this, glancing at each other and seeing the eagerness in each other’s eyes.
They were all veteran players, even among the whole "Elf Kingdom," they were the top tier, and over the years, they’d reached the peak of Golden Rank.
For them, there was no longer pressure for advancement, their gear was almost complete, and the only things left were refining their skills through battle and gaining fame within the game.
And these tasks, while the hardest in "Elf Kingdom," were also the most interesting.
However, although their interest was piqued, they remained calm because they still needed to verify whether the news was true or false.
After all... over the years, many players sought the whereabouts of Thunderbolt, and lots of news circulated, but it mostly turned out to be false.
"Xian Miaoju, is this true? Is the source reliable?"
Several of them asked.
Meeting the expectant gazes of the players, Little Xian Miao smiled slightly:
"Indeed, not long ago, Sister Gugu found an ancient manuscript with a mysterious Void Star Map, indicating the coordinates of a mysterious plane."
"That manuscript is written in Elven, and according to Sister Gugu’s deduction, it’s highly likely left by the Thunder Clan."
"Moreover, when we reported it to the boss, we even received inspiration from the Goddess herself, indicating this was the destination the Thunder Tribe set out for after leaving Segis!"
After hearing Little Xian Miao’s words, the players no longer doubted; they almost cheered.
"That’s fantastic! With guidance from the boss and the Goddess, this must be the true whereabouts of the Thunder Clan!"
Chopin said excitedly.
However, Hu Lu was somewhat puzzled:
"Wait... if this is true news, then why hasn’t there been a world announcement? Nor any hidden task triggered?"
"That’s the strange part for us too."
Gugu Bird adjusted her glasses and said:
"We originally thought that upon confirming the coordinates with the boss, an epic task would be triggered, but there was no follow-up..."
"However, after completing the Floating City, we triggered a task related to it, called [Set Sail], and one of the optional destinations includes the plane coordinate I found."
Optimist’s heart stirred:
"So... you plan to directly send the expedition to investigate?"
"Yes."
Little Xian Miao nodded.
"Just us?"
I am Invincible asked.
"No, you are the best expedition team in the guild, even top-notch across the whole server. I plan to have you lead, recruit volunteers from those involved in the Floating City construction, with a target of thirty thousand, including twenty-five thousand Silver Upper Rank and five thousand Golden Rank."
Little Xian Miao said.
"Wow... so many people? At this power level, they could wipe out a mid to lower-tier plane!"
Hu Lu couldn’t help but exclaim.
In the endless void, myth-level planes comparable to Segis World are rare, and legendary planes that can accommodate Legends are scarce. Most can only support Golden Rank or Silver Rank advanced, low-tier planes.
The weakest ones can’t even support anything beyond Black Iron Rank.
On such planes, even Golden players have to seal their abilities before entering, and Black Iron newbies can walk around without a care.
"According to the manuscript, if there’s no error, the plane should have a power level similar to Wendel, a Demigod level mythical plane."
Gugu Bird adjusted her black-framed glasses again.
Optimist and the others were speechless.
Wow... if this is the power level, then deploying tens of thousands of players indeed seems normal, might not even be enough.
"But... what if upon investigation, that many people aren’t needed?"
Hu Lu asked again.
Given Cyber’s past experience, if the Thunder Clan’s population is sufficiently large, and it’s just a returning mission, it’s possible... that many wouldn’t be needed.
"Then just conquer a few surrounding planes; anyway, the star map shows there are some small to medium lower-tier planes around. Just pick a few with good resources, conquer them, and sell the qualification of exploration to other guilds."
Little Xian Miao said indifferently.
Everyone was speechless again.
Perhaps... that’s what it means to be a big shot.
Having decided to embark on the Floating City expedition, Optimist and the others went to prepare supplies.
