When they first got the energy mine mission, it was only a B-rank mission with a reward of 8,000 Holy Coins. Now, due to the appearance of the Sword Saint, it was upgraded to an A-rank mission, and the reward had been directly increased to 100,000 Holy Coins! The 5,000 Holy Coins fine was not even a small fraction of this! Also, the rewards went far beyond that.
Another thing was that the higher-ups had also granted the Wanderlust Team the right to recruit new members… This was a special privilege, probably given because there were too few members in the team. Many exploration teams had actually lost many men after returning from missions. Although the extent of their losses was not large enough to threaten their team’s foundation, many missions that could originally have been handled on their own had to be shared with other teams due to lack of manpower.
Small Eyes still favored her ‘Murphy’s Handgun’ which she had always used, so she did not change her weapon. However, she got herself a set of ‘Swift Wings’ and a set of gray armor, along with a pair of boots. In addition to having the weight of a feather and excellent protection, the ‘Swift Wings’ was equipped with a series of several complex speed runic arrays, which could increase the wearer’s movement speed. For long-range soldiers, this was definitely something they longed for day and night.
They mainly spent the money on these two most important things: offense and defense. Of course, the others also bought whatever they had longed to get. Even Napier bought a Soul Dagger that he had taken an eye to long ago. Oscar also stocked up on a lot of life-saving items, like medicine, crystals, etc. He had to ensure that every team member would survive the missions they accepted. With the money they had, there were a variety of good things to choose from. After everything, they had already spent around 50,000 Holy Coins and almost all of the 50,000 military merit points.
