MMORPG: Martial Gamer

However, Wang Yu’s ability to hack through over a hundred of Divine Martial’s members in a head-on fight was beyond Fearless’ expectations. It was also the reason why everyone looked at Wang Yu in such a fearful manner.

How could a single player take on a hundred players himself? The average member count of current guilds was approximately 500. Being able to take on more than a quarter of the members of any guild, if Wang Yu wanted to kill someone, that player might as well quit the game to save himself from the inevitable.

With such a fearsome player, everyone present was glad that they did not choose to become Quan Zhen Sect’s enemy.

Wang Yu could understand the rationale behind most of Fearless’ plan. But, there was a point which he could not figure out.

“Why didn’t we just surround Martial Yin Yang directly, instead of looping one big round like what we did?” Wang Yu asked, confused.

Fearless smiled and said, “Wouldn’t everyone be exposed in that case? Divine Martial Guild is rather powerful. We can’t possibly hide in Twilight City forever and not venture out to other cities.”

“So that’s the case…” Wang Yu came to realisation.

Playing the enemy for a fool and leaving them clueless as to who the culprit was… A despicable strategy such as this could only be devised by Fearless himself. Furthermore, allowing everyone to earn some quick cash and improving everyone’s relationship at the same time was simply killing two birds with one stone.

It was worth pointing out that apart from the money which Martial Yin Yang paid for the equipment, he had paid a total of 300,000 gold. Quan Zhen Sect had only mobilised ten players in this entire operation and yet was able to claim a third of the gold. The benefit that they managed to reap was tremendous.

Even though the other guilds had deployed quite many of their members, they did not get injured whatsoever and all they did was loiter around on the street in a circle. Being able to earn a sum of gold from this was equivalent to them picking up gold on the streets!

Achieving a win-win situation such as this was something only Fearless was capable of.

As to how the other guilds were planning on distributing the other 200,000 gold was none of Quan Zhen Sect’s business.

Just when Fearless was about to take his leave after handing over the gold, Captain Don’t Open Fire abruptly stood up.

“Boss Fearless, Great God Iron Bull, please hold on!” Captain Don’t Open Fire said.

“Oh? What’s the matter?” Fearless turned around and said to Captain Don’t Open Fire.

Quan Zhen Sect and Void Blade had a small conflict in the past. Frankly speaking, Fearless did not really have much of an impression of Captain Don’t Open Fire. If not for the fact that he had requested to be a part of the operation this time around, Fearless would not have asked for his participation.

“That… I can forgo my portion of the money,” Captain Don’t Open Fire said.

“Oh? Truly a rich man!” Fearless emotionlessly said to Captain Don’t Open Fire while pointing his thumb upwards.

In total, there were eight guilds that took part in the operation this time around. After evenly splitting the 200,000 gold, the amount that each guild could claim wasn’t a small sum. Declining this large sum of gold wasn’t something an ordinary person could do.

“But I have a request.” Captain Don’t Open Fire hurriedly followed up with.

“En, say it,” Fearless said, knowing full well that things weren’t as simple as it seemed.

Captain Don’t Open Fire wasn’t stupid himself. Money, to him, was truly insignificant. Being able to obtain a favor from the people of Quan Zhen Sect was something way more valuable than money itself.

Seeing Fearless agreeing so readily, Captain Don’t Open Fire joyfully said, “Can I request a favor from Quan Zhen Sect?”

“Arson, murder, scamming, sabotaging. Which is it?” Wang Yu asked, from the sides.

“It’s neither of those…” Captain Don’t Open Fire replied, shaking his head.

“Then why are you looking for us?” Wang said, puzzled.

“…”

“Ignore his nonsense… So what do you want from us?” Fearless hurriedly interjected.

“I want to complete a dungeon!” Captain Don’t Open Fire answered.

“Dungeon? Don’t you guys have your own professional battle team to do that? Why are you looking for us instead?”

As <<REBIRTH>> had been released for quite some time, most of the players were already familiar with the game mechanics itself. It was definitely easier to play it now compared to in the past when the game first launched. For a high difficulty dungeon, as long as the players were willing to persevere through it, it was generally clearable.

Excluding Wang Yu, every single player in the professional team was of better standards than the players from Quan Zhen Sect. There was definitely no need for Void Blade to hire an external party to help them. Unless, it was a ploy set up by Void Blade?

“Heh…” Captain Don’t Open Fire laughed bitterly. “The professional tournament is about to begin, it will be inconvenient for me to burden them with this…”

“No wonder…” Fearless said in realisation.

Professional battle teams rarely involved themselves with matters pertaining to the guild. Even when increasing their player levels, they would normally do so together as a group. For tasks like taking down BOSSes and clearing dungeons, they rarely played a part in it.

After all, these professional players were all high salaried professional experts. They couldn’t be bothered to snatch for resources with a bunch of low-end players.

On the contrary, the existence of large guilds was to help equip these professional experts with the best equipment that they could possibly get. If every other small matter had to be handled by these experts, what was the point of paying them such high wages?

Furthermore, this was the period whereby all the professional experts were working to the best of their abilities to better themselves prior to the tournament. Even though Captain Don’t Open Fire was their boss, he had no reason to demand them to stop whatever they are doing and work overtime by helping the guild out.

A professional expert had an annual salary of over a million dollars. The overtime pay for ten of these experts would definitely amount to over 20,000 gold…

Among all the guild leaders sat at the table, Captain Don’t Open Fire was financially the smartest.

“Boss Captain… Even though your professional experts don’t have much time on their hands, what makes you think that we have spare time ourselves? Just take a look at Old Bull! It is extremely taxing on him to go around hacking people every day,” Fearless said, pointing towards Wang Yu.

“Ah…” Captain Don’t Open Fire was frightened speechless, interpreting what Fearless had said as a threat to him.

“He he!” Wang Yu couldn’t help but laugh cheekily at Fearless’ statement.

Upon seeing Wang Yu’s suspicious laughter, the Captain Don’t Open Fire that had personally witnessed Wang Yu’s fearsomeness before felt a chill run down his spine at this moment. On the verge of tears, Captain Don’t Open Fire said to the both of them, “Big Bosses, it’s fine if you choose not to help me, please don’t exert such threats on me….”

“We are not scaring you… As you have seen, with Old Bull’s capabilities, the price to enlist his help would definitely not be low… Five of your so-called “professional experts” surely can’t even handle one Wang Yu.” Fearless comforted Captain Don’t Open Fire.

“That is true, that is true…” Captain Don’t Open Fire hurriedly nodded his head. Captain Don’t Open Fire had finally realised that even though the most powerful player in Quan Zhen Sect wasn’t Fearless, he was definitely the most vicious one among them. Trying to take advantage of him was impossible.

“Surely you have to give us a reasonable price if you want to enlist Wang Yu’s help… It’s fine if you don’t factor in the rest of our help. After all, we are already used to getting looked down upon by others. However, you better not look down on our Old Bull… He is someone who will even kill his own people if he gets mad,” Fearless said, smiling cheekily.

Wang Yu frowned and said to Fearless, “That’s enough from you; if you say anymore, I will personally eliminate you!”

“Eh… Then can I implore Boss Fearless to open a price? If the price is appropriate, I am willing to pay the amount,” Captain Don’t Open Fire said, relieved.
