Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer - Chapter 697

Chapter 697: Skyride Hotel Chapter 697: Skyride Hotel The monster wave crisis in Star Falls City might have been resolved, but the aftermath was a whole new story.

Other than the fact that compensation must be paid to the deceased, there must also be calculation of the rewards that are required to be given out to those who excelled.  However, that was merely the tip of the iceberg because there was more documentation and procedure to do.  The work was so much that Jessica found it overwhelming to even try to list them out one by one.  Yet despite being swarmed and pressured by such a workload, she received a message from her coworker that Xu Feng had arrived and requested a meeting.

Having interacted with the man for a long time, Jessica only knew the pile of paperworks in her desk would continue to stack.  Thus, she kept her exhausted look and entered the VIP room, going as far as stating that she would guilt-trip Xu Feng if he dared to assign her more work.

“So what do you want from me this time?” Jessica asked once she noticed Xu Feng’s silence.

“If you want to ask about the town at Twilight Glades, then it’s still under construction or if you want to talk about the guild residence, then it would be done in 1-2 days from now.”  Feeling somewhat guilty, Xu Feng flashed an awkward smile and shook his head.

He didn’t need to come here to check on the status when it was already listed in his system interface.  ‘Ugh, if I do tell her it, then I’m going to have to deal with a troublesome scene.’ Xu Feng knew exactly the type of reaction that one would face if they triggered someone in Jessica’s current state.

Finally, an enlightenment came in and Xu Feng found the perfect scapegoat to blame.

Without further ado, he retrieved the Lockdown Order Field and placed it on the table.  Meanwhile, Jessica’s eyes widened in shock, her lifeless and exhausted expression seemed to undergo a fierce change.

“T-This mana…” She stuttered in disbelief as she recognized the mana was very familiar to a certain figure.

It was a figure whom even her manager and boss, Howard, would be treating carefully.  Nevertheless, she shook her head and quickly denied the possibility.  “Hah, did you pick these stones from elsewhere- possibly during the monster waves invasion?” She questioned in amusement, almost as if she wanted him to answer yes.

Unfortunately, the brutal reality shattered her completely to the core when Xu Feng had zero intention of giving her some fantasy.  “No, these stones were embedded by our City Magistrate, Magnus.” Xu Feng responded and continued, “The City Magistrate assigned me a task and even sent me here with his powerful magic.

So with great reluctance, I can only do what the City Magistrate wants if I wish to continue my peaceful life in the city.”  “…”  It was as if her soul had left her body, Jessica nearly slumped to the floor, unable to utter a single sound.  Her mouth was left agape and if one had a great imagination.

They could see a ghost-like figure escaping from her open mouth.

“T-The City Magistrate sent you here huh…” Jessica said in a bittersweet tone.

Nothing was more depressing than having a superior dumping more work on you.  Do you dare to refuse?  Well, unless one wished to lose their job, then their only option was to suck it up and accept the situation.  “There’s no need to sulk that much.” Xu Feng suddenly mused and explained, “The task isn’t that difficult.

All you need to do is help me post a quest in the adventure quest bulletin board.”  “Eh, that’s it?” Startled, Jessica’s eyes widened.  “All I need to do is put a post on the bulletin board?” She asked in disbelief.

Without a doubt, this kind of task was too simple.

In fact, it was so easy as well that she became more suspicious rather than at ease.  “Of course, it’s that simple but I’m positive that you would want to do more.” Xu Feng smirked and proceeded to explain the reason behind the post.

Sure enough, Jessica seemed to have undergone nirvana upon realizing the situation.

“Heh, you should have said that from the start.” She exclaimed with a vibrant expression.

“Rest assured, I’ll ensure you get talented individuals to sign up.” Having realized the post was a recruitment of war against Skyland City who had partaken in the siege to ruin her city.

There was no way Jessica would opt out of such an event.  How dare these ruffians try to destroy the work she had done in the past years!  Just like that, Jessica quickly had the recruitment quest posted in the bulletin board and assigned some of her subordinates to promote and advertise it heavily.

Very soon, news of the recruitment quest began to circulate among Star Falls City players before it branched out to elsewhere.

“It seems like Vanguard Guild was taking the initiative this time.”  “Hah, who wouldn’t be infuriated to be repeatedly targeted?”  “I bet MIST must now be punching the air in anger and frustration.

Their elites were taken as hostages and their allies were having it worse from other guilds.”  The Game Forum soon exploded in fervor, with the top trending keyword search being Guild War, Vanguard Guild, and MIST.  Additionally, this could be considered the first-ever guild war since the transition from town to city.  Skyland City, Skyride Hotel  At Skyride Hotel, numerous players with the MIST emblem attached to their chests gathered in the lobby.  Many held worried and anxious expressions, with only a few people seated at the main center being solemn.  “Elders, the meeting for today does not need me to explain, right?” A young man with a rifle wrapped around his back exclaimed solemnly.

He was of a Gunner Class, and the acting guild leader of MIST, Tyler.  As the Heir of MIST Group, he was entrusted to manage the guild by the President, but so far, there had yet to be any fruitful result.  But that wasn’t even the worst part, given their expedition not only failed miserably.

They must now also face the wrath of the Vanguard Guild’s retaliation.

Naturally, almost everyone at present knew who was at fault: Tyler.

The decision to create an alliance to siege the city where Vanguard Guild was operating was made by none other than Tyler.  Even when there was opposition and advice stating it wasn’t worth the risk, Tyler simply dismissed it and stated he was the acting guild leader.
