Super Spender

Chapter 686: Chapter 680: Do Not Provoke

However…the efficacy was surprisingly high. Just as they were feeling amazed, the mission was suddenly refreshed. Everyone hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the mission again. On seeing it, they were completely dumbfounded because someone else had submitted task completion.

This time, the submission was made by a coalition of more than ten mercenary groups that were quite famous. Almost all of them were top-ranking groups in the Mercenary Association. Seeing that they had destroyed two interstellar pirate base planets and freed most of the slaves and ordinary civilians there, everyone felt an indescribable wave of sentiment.

The two most powerful interstellar pirate groups were exterminated just like that? These two were long-established pirate groups that had dominated for centuries. They had been on the wanted list of various parties, even officially by the Galactic Federation, and were still listed on its golden wanted orders.

But, they had always been just names on the list. Now, they had been wiped out in no more than a week.

The reason for all this was the nine-star mission. One couldn’t help wondering what those who had been robbed countless times by these two pirate groups, and their families, were thinking. It was not that the groups were invincible, it’s just the prices offered for their destruction weren’t high enough.

Take this bounty for example: a whopping 1,300 billion star credits managed to decimate two mercenary groups. Although it’s rumored that the prince came from a primitive planet, with negligible power, he was brought back from the Death Star to inherit his legacy in the Galactic region by a Federation-supervised warship.

Still, the prince had journeyed to the Death Star in some smuggled illegal spaceship. But despite not owning even a single spaceship, he managed to destroy two of the three major pirate groups. Everyone knew the results since these groups saw that the prince was nearly powerless.

Yes, the prince didn’t have his warship or territory. But shit, the prince was rich! 1,300 billion star credits smashed out without a second thought! It was simply like using money to smash two mercenary groups to death! While it was unclear who was pulling the strings, it was unlikely to be a mercenary group.

Based on the scale of the warship, it seemed that there was another prince involved, perhaps from a family trying to stir up trouble. But thinking about it, this rumored prince was a big spender!

Given that new tasks were submitted and both were completed at once, everyone was refreshing the mission page continuously to see if the prince approved. Soon they saw a task update. When they saw that the total bounty remaining was just 280 billion star credits, most people couldn’t help but sigh, “Ah, this mission is practically complete.”

There was so little money left that it was unlikely anyone else could claim it. However, to their surprise, after the completion of these three tasks, the prince suddenly canceled the remaining tasks. Although the tasks were canceled, most people didn’t say anything. They only regretted that they hadn’t acted fast enough.

The fleets of these two pirate groups were completely annihilated, and their base was destroyed. Those under their rule had been rescued. The pirate groups can be said to have been wiped out, and there was no need for the rest to be counted.

That was a substantial amount of money. With so much money, one could purchase a complete fleet. And as a prince, he naturally had the right to own a war-class warship.

Just as most people were logging out of the mission list, all of a sudden, everyone’s mission list vibrated tremendously. Immediately, a new mission popped up. Upon seeing the new mission, everyone froze, then went into a frenzy. “Holy crap, another nine-star mission!”

Nine-star missions hadn’t been seen for many years, and now several were popping up one after the other. When did nine-star missions become so cheap! But, even while obsessing over this thought, they were swiftly tapping on their screens. Nobody knew what the mission would be. Perhaps if they took a shot, it could turn out to be a jackpot.

As they opened the mission, everyone was dumbstruck. The bounty for this mission was a whopping 500 billion star credits! And the bounty was set by the same prince who just posted the previous nine-star mission!

When people read the mission’s details, a chill ran down everyone’s veins. It was as if there was no way out.

The bounty wasn’t as high as the one before, but there was a huge difference. The content of the bounty posted was even more indescribable.

“Wanted: All members, warships, and remnants of the Shadow and Devil Mercenary groups. Total bounty: 500 billion star credits. Each ordinary group member: 1,000 star credits; higher level minor boss: 5,000 star credits.” From the lowest rank to the highest, all were included. Even so, going by the names listed in the bounty, a few hundred thousand people had to be caught and dealt with before the money ran out.

This was tantamount to complete destruction of the Shadow and Devil Mercenary groups. Although the previous mission was flagged as mostly complete, it didn’t mean all the people had been wiped out. For example, Finn Lewis’s fleet wiped out the main fleet, but there were at least dozens more small ships and others that hadn’t been with the main fleet.

The main fleet that had been eliminated was just a ticking time bomb. But with this bounty, no need to guess what the outcome for these people would be. They had to either hide their true identities or be hunted down, otherwise, they had no chance of running away.

More importantly, these money bounties were terrifying. People die for money, and birds die for food. It was likely that many mercenaries couldn’t be caught, but pirates would definitely have some clues. Since pirates were notorious for their unscrupulous behavior, the conclusion was obvious. Otherwise, why would the Shadow and Devil Mercenary groups have been wiped out so quickly?
