Chapter 68: S Rank Treaty
The subordinates all let out a sigh of relief when they heard this.
An A Ranker, that was just one step off from becoming a S Ranker, but A Rankers were all monsters still.
As for S Rankers, they were equal to nukes.
But after Bing Xin heard this, she couldn't help knitting her brows as she asked, "Big sister, who did you call?"
"It's Tie Gang." Bing Lan said with a knowing look on her face.
When she heard this, Bing Xin let out a sigh of relief before saying, "It's big brother Tie. Then that should be alright."
Bing Lan gave a nod before turning to her subordinates and saying, "Go and prepare for the dungeon raid. You'll all be going in with Tie Gang."
When they heard this, all of them revealed excited looks.
One might think that they would be afraid, but that was just how reassuring the title of A Ranker was. As long as they were with an A Ranker, there was no need to fear this C Rank Dungeon.
In fact, they would be able to pick up a few tricks from him and get closer to an A Ranker. This was actually a reward for them rather than a life threatening mission.
So the subordinates all ran off to prepare for the raid, leaving only the three of us at the table.
Once they were gone, Bing Lan gave a sigh and said, "If it wasn't for the S Rank Treaty, I would go myself…"
The S Rank Treaty, that was a famous treaty that everyone in the world knew about.
Since Awakeners became a representation of power in this new world, they were equal to nukes in the world before the world changed. Back when the world still didn't have Awakeners, there were already treaties in place to prevent the proliferation of nukes.
Now that there were S Rankers that were equivalent to nukes, there were naturally treaties to prevent them from causing mass destruction as well.
So in the cases of S Rankers, unless there was a treaty in place that prevented them from taking action unless it was a matter of absolute crisis.
Unless it was a matter that threatened the very extinction of the human race, S Rankers were not able to freely take action.
Of course, that didn't mean that S Rankers were unable to do anything.
For a S Ranker to move, they had to submit a formal written request to the Awakener Association that would require a council's approval. This was a long and tedious process since S Rankers were treated as important resources, so they weren't moved that easily.
But for small things like clearing out S Rank Dungeons, approval was gained fairly easily since the Awakener Association also benefited from those.
In this case where there was a Dungeon Break at this D Rank Dungeon that was in a remote place, this was not considered an emergency and Bing Lan couldn't act. Even if she were to put in a request, it would take too long for it to be approved.
Sometimes, the system didn't work, but that didn't mean that it was a bad system.
Sometimes, these inconveniences were necessary to keep the greater population safe.
Bing Xin gave a sigh as well before saying, "Big sister, it's not worth receiving the punishment. Big brother Tie will be here soon, so let's just leave it to him."
Bing Lan gave a nod in response.
The punishments that came with breaking the S Rank Treaty weren't light.
S Rankers were powerful, but it wasn't as if they had the power to go against the world itself.
There weren't that many S Rankers out there, but there were still quite a few.
All of these S Rankers had signed this treaty along with the governments of the world and the Awakener Association.
Any S Ranker that was found breaking this treaty would be punished by all of these people.
First, the S Ranker would be sanctioned by the Awakener Association, making it hard for them to obtain resources.
S Rankers were still human in the end, so they still relied on others for things like food, housing, and other basic necessities.
If they broke the S Rank Treaty, all of that would disappear.
At the same time, most S Rankers were part of guilds and these guilds relied on the Awakener Association for resources. So the guilds that the S Rankers were a part of would also be punished if they ever broke the S Rank Treaty.
Not to mention, they would face the siege of many different S Rankers condemning them for their actions.
For a small matter like this, it wasn't worth it for Bing Lan to break the S Rank Treaty and personally clear this dungeon.
So all they could do was wait for this A Ranker Tie Gang to arrive.
After half an hour, he arrived with a group of supporters.
To my surprise, there was even a B Ranker among these supporters.
It seemed that these supporters and Tie Gang formed a party to raid dungeons with.
Since he had brought his party along, it should be easy for Tie Gang to clear out this dungeon.
With his rank as an A Ranker, Tie Gang was naturally very popular.
He was quickly surrounded by many of the C and D Rankers from the camp who wanted to build a relationship with him. After all, for these C and D Rankers, if they could hug his leg, then they would have a firm backer.
But Tie Gang just politely sent them on their way before looking around as if he was looking for something.
When he saw Bing Lan and Bing Xin standing on the side, he waved at them with a smile on his face.
When they saw this, the two of them waved back with smiles on their faces as well.
Based on this, it was clear that there was a close relationship between the three of them.
