Chapter 36: Panicking from Making Money

Since the end of the rat tide, the safety of the newbie hunters who went out alone had increased a lot. Most of them could return safely, but completing the Level 10 breakthrough mission was several times more difficult. At least, no one had hunted yet.

Without the Level 5 Irontooth Rats that dared to fight head-on, they could not catch up to the other animals there at all. Not to mention their poor throwing skills, they could not even get near enough.

‘Ping!’

A bullet entered its eye socket, reducing its HP by one-third. Then, three bullet shadows followed closely behind. Its HP bar instantly decreased by one-third three times before it was finally emptied.

[Beep: Congratulations, you have killed a low-level ferocious beast, Steel-Haired Beast. Experience gained: 3,000. Proficiency increased.]

Dagger smiled, he finally killed another ferocious beast.

This was already the third ferocious beast territory he had found following Jun Ci’s intelligence. He had not found any ferocious beasts in the first two places. He did not know if they had died or left. He was far from the luck of the first time.

As for this Steel-Haired Beast, its defense was relatively ordinary among the low level ferocious beasts. If it hit a vital spot, even three bullets might not be able to destroy it. It seemed that his progress of insta-killing the ferocious beast was about to end.

He successfully obtained 3,000 experience points. Without stopping, he rode his bone horse and galloped back with his prey.

He was in a pretty good mood, and he killed some wild beasts along the way. After all, he already had a warehouse.

It was just along the way, and he killed thirteen wild beasts. Unfortunately, the highest one was only Level 8 and did not have much EXP.

Recently, the players had accepted quite a number of small quests. They needed some beast bones and fur materials. These were all things that NPCs did not have. So just along the way. he could also earn some money off of Young Master Dai. That was the little prince of quests.

“Someone’s here?” Dagger put down the binoculars and immediately brought the bone horse back.

I didn’t get discovered, did I?

“What’s that sound?” Jun Ci suddenly froze and pricked up his ears.

“What?” His companion was puzzled.

Nothing!” Jun Ci shook his head. How could he hear gunshots? This was the game world. There was no such technology.

“There’s a lot of prey this time! I reckon everyone can get ten bone coins today.” The companion carrying the prey sighed happily.

This was the first time he had such a rich harvest since the rat tide.

“Pity about what?” Jun Ci laughed.

“It’s a pity that we’re hunting with NPCs. The prey can’t be used as a beginner hunting mission item to break through Level 10. Otherwise, we’d be rich. The fool who killed you actually bought it for 100,000 yuan. Don’t you think he’s stupid? Haha.”

“100,000!” Jun Ci couldn’t help but sigh.

“Brother Jun Ci, since we have been following the NPCs, our hunting experience have accumulated quite a bit. Let’s go out alone tomorrow. If the three of us work together, with your Small Mastery Bow Skill, there’s a 70% to 80% chance that we can successfully hunt a prey in a day. Isn’t it easy to earn that 100,000 yuan?” Another player walked over with difficulty while carrying a prey.

The three of them had joined the NPC hunting team, so they had to follow the rules. They had to do the most tiring work and earn the least.

This made Jun Ci a little tempted. The other player also spoke up. In the end, Jun Ci nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll take the deal of 100,000 yuan. As long as we maintain our lead and remain vigilant, Young Master Dai won’t be much of a threat even if he breaks through the bottleneck of Level 10.”

He made up his mind.

This made the three of them feel much better. Even their footsteps were much lighter.

With the help of the resurrected skeleton, Dagger was obviously much faster and slipped back to the tribe first.

“What’s the matter?” From afar, Dagger had already seen Rubbish Mouth circling around anxiously in front of his courtyard door.

“Dagger!” Rubbish Mouth heard the familiar voice and turned around in surprise. He was shocked at the sight and could not help but swallow his saliva. “Are we not in a game? Did you come in more than ten years earlier than us? Such a huge and ferocious prey, even a hundred players can’t defeat it, right?”

Dagger smiled and did not say anything else.

“Oh, that’s right, business is more important. Someone beat Young Master Dai to it and bought the witch potion for 130,000 yuan. I’m here to ask if you have another witch potion. It’s not easy to find rich men who can afford to pay 100,000 yuan.” Rubbish Mouth smiled slyly. He could not understand why someone was willing to fork out 100,000 yuan just to break through the bottleneck of level 10 in the game, no matter how realistic the game was.

Wasn’t it nice to have real money? But of course, this didn’t stop him from earning money.

Dagger heard the sound of the system notification. It was only 117,000 yuan? He was instantly unhappy.

“Dagger, by the way, the potion was sold by Drutu on our behalf, so we had to give him 10% commission. I didn’t take any money from it.”

“I don’t doubt you,” Dagger said.

As for his displeasure just now? It was an illusion. It was definitely an illusion.

Dagger looked at the 13 little beasts pulled by the bone cart beside him.

The players should be able to go hunting soon.

“There won’t be many opportunities to earn by helping players to break through level 10 missions!”

After thinking for a moment, Dagger said, “There are 13 prey here. Each of them can be used to fulfill the beginner hunting mission to break through Level 10. I’ll give them all to you. How you use them is all up to you. Your performance in the beginning was very good. This can be considered a test, but don’t feel too pressured. Just get rid of them as soon as possible.”

“Don’t feel too pressured? How can there be no pressure?” Rubbish Mouth smiled bitterly.

Thirteen prey. Thirteen missions. How could they be sold for such a high price each? There was only one rich guy like Young Master Dai.

Rubbish Mouth smiled bitterly.

“I’ll risk it. At most, I’ll screw it up.” Rubbish Mouth walked out and kept thinking, but he could not think of a good solution.

Other than Young Master Dai, who was not short of money, no one would buy the rest even if it was 10,000 yuan.

He walked out of the hill with a bitter face. He was blocked again. The muscular boy looked bitter too.

He looked up and saw that it was none other than Low Profile Bro.

“Brother, I heard that you bought the breakthrough witch potion medicine. Congratulations.” Feeling that he needed to be professional, Rubbish Mouth forced a smile.

“Don’t talk about it. There was only a 60% success rate. I failed.” The muscular boy was very depressed. 130,000 yuan was wasted?

However, he still gave Rubbish Mouth 1,000 yuan as a reward.

“Brother, if you have such connections again, don’t forget me. I won’t treat you badly.” This was the reason why Low Profile Bro waited here.

The sudden happiness made Rubbish Mouth cover his mouth.

Don’t get excited, don’t get excited, he calmed himself down as his mind raced.

His eyes blurred, and he noticed something.

“What a coincidence. I’ve just found out about a 100% chance of breaking through and was just about to look for Young Master Dai.”

“Really?” This was definitely a huge surprise for Low Profile Bro.

“But my NPC contribution points will be zero,” Rubbish Mouth said deliberately.

“A 100% breakthrough?” Low Profile Bro asked.

“Absolutely 100%!”

“150,000 yuan! Is that generous enough?” Low Profile Bro gritted his teeth. Money was…!
