Chapter 238: The Price
An expert under a certain guild?
Speaking of which, this little swordsman has exceptional skills and team awareness. He knows what to do and never engages in unnecessary actions.
Moreover, could an ordinary person come up with so much money?
Although he wasn’t too interested in guild disputes, it was still best to confirm things.
“What name do you plan to give your guild?” Starry suddenly asked.
“We haven’t decided yet, but several names are already settled. Once it’s established, you’re welcome to join us.” He answered calmly, as if he anticipated the question.
Several settled names? It wouldn’t be Yuhua, would it? Or something like… Cloud’s Edge branch?
Seeing Starry’s worries, Forgotten Memories opened up, “I know about your past with those people. I can assure you, I have no connection with them. My friends and I came together purely out of shared interests. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to meet them.”
“…No need.” Starry shook her head.
No matter whose it was, this Guild Token had to be sold. The only difference was that he had the first purchasing right.
Fair is fair; he was also contributing to this team. Now that this boss dropped the token, selling it to him would not be a problem.
As the number of Guild Tokens dropped increased, their value would only continue to decrease.
If time dragged on and the third or fourth token appeared, they might not even get half of the current amount.
Zane had his own considerations too. This version activity couldn’t just have so few monsters for players to fight; there would definitely be a real climax later, and it wasn’t impossible for more Guild Tokens to drop!
“Since you need it… then I’ll sell it to you. But you don’t have to give that much, how about this? You give each of us 200w?” Starry was firmly holding him, speaking slowly.
The swordsman showed a shocked expression, “You… are willing to trust me?”
“It’s just selling something; it’s not as serious as you think. Besides, this is a boss we defeated together, isn’t it?” Starry couldn’t help but chuckle, her delicate face making him feel a bit uneasy.
“Hey! Hey! Brother Memories!” Endless Sea waved his left hand. He finally came back to his senses.
“Hehe, the heroine has a boyfriend now, so don’t overthink it,” Fenghua said, slightly opening her small mouth in wonder, pointing at Endless Sea and exclaiming, “Could it be… you!?”
“Of course not!” Starry blurted out instinctively.
“…Damn! Heroine, consider my feelings! Can’t you answer a little slower!?”
“…”
The silence struck Endless Sea’s heart like a double blow.
…
In the end, the Guild Token was sold to Forgotten Memories for 750w.
Among them, Endless Sea took 150w, while Starry and Fenghua took 300w each, which was the result of multiple concessions.
Thus, a direct transfer of funds avoided the handling fee, allowing them to make a small profit.
By the way, the swordsman looked stunned when he saw the keywords on Starry’s bank card, but he quickly realized it might be the boyfriend mentioned.
Unexpectedly, that Fengchen Yanhua turned out to be a pretty boy, and he even had the girl sending money… he felt a sudden surge of jealousy.
And the person in question?
Zane received his first huge sum of money in life, excitedly shouting in his room, “I’m rich!”
“I’m rich—!! Hahahaha—!!”
However, he was quickly suppressed by his mother’s sharper scolding.
“Zane, it’s one thing to play games all day without going out, but what’s with the crazy behavior in the middle of the night? Can’t you see what time it is!? You don’t sleep and you don’t let others sleep?! What’s with all this yelling!!!” Zane jolted awake, returning from his ecstasy. Indeed, it was already past one in the morning, the rest time for workers; it was better to keep a low profile, lest he annoy the neighbors.
…
After wiping out the Shadow Warriors at West Gate, at least half of the players were rushing toward North Gate and West Gate, believing that with their combined efforts, it wouldn’t take long before they also broke through on the other sides.
“It seems the Shadow Lord has limited capabilities.” Gal said disdainfully, his gaze resolute. “Next… is the final step.”
As long as they defeated the lord, it would mean a complete victory in the siege. After taking a short break, they might even have the energy to directly attack the Dark Fortress!
The reason he was so sure was that he could sense a thick aura of darkness not far away; it must be the Shadow Lord himself, no doubt about it.
“You two, follow me.” Gal looked at Zane and Che Rui, stating calmly.
“Sir Commander, I think it would be better to reassess after meeting up with them.” Zane felt an uneasy intuition and hastily spoke up.
“Stop talking nonsense! I sense a terrible power gathering… we must increase our speed; there’s no time to wait for them!”
“…She of course knows about this; after all, Mo Ran had been here before.
The strange roar, combined with the Shadow Lord’s abilities and the barriers created…
It could be understood with a little thought that the boss was probably trying to come up with some new tricks.
Based on previous plot assessments of strength, (Xieu + Xiin) > Shadow Lord.
Xiin was at 56 Diamond Grade, while Xieu’s panel was not accessible for viewing.
Even this much would just heavily injure the boss.
Currently, their strongest lineup was only Gal at 45 Platinum Grade; it felt hopeless from the start.
That said, they had no choice but to charge in; maybe they’d get lucky and find the Shadow Lord in the middle of casting a spell?
“Zane…” While she was lost in thought, Starry interrupted her contemplation.
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“That person wasn’t wrong… I can feel the endless force of silence reviving. Perhaps in less than 10 minutes, this city… will be truly engulfed in darkness.” Starry’s tone carried some weight; this time, it might be even tougher than when they were in the underground passage.
“…Although Starry was speaking earnestly about it, Zane couldn’t help but want to throw up.”
A quick interjection—such an old cliché!
“…” Starry’s forehead bulged with veins, gritting her silver teeth, and the Qiu Yue Sword was silently raised.
Perhaps this was the downside of mental connection.
“Wait! Wait! This isn’t the time to be angry!”
…
“They’re coming, Lord.” In the bone-chilling underground space, Evening No More looked at the silent figure before him.
“…” After a moment of silence, the Shadow Lord turned his back, crossing his arms. “Adventurers from the Otherworld… have grown so quickly, breaking through the West Gate in such a short time.”
“Is there anything you need me to do?”
“No need. The final ritual is about to complete. Humanity… will pay the corresponding price for their arrogance.”
