Chapter Thirty-Two: Haggling

  White Wolf, White Witch, these are the hidden BOSS of Frost Forest. The useless Silver Pendant can be ignored, but Blue River is not heartless, and the sharp teeth of the White Wolf are very precious.

  The Frost Forest is no longer a newbie village teaching instance, with each person limited to four entries per day. It's uncertain whether you can encounter the hidden BOSS in those four attempts, let alone when encountering the hidden BOSS, there's still a two-thirds chance it won't be the White Wolf.

  If Ye Xiu only wanted the 8 White Wolf Fangs, Blue River wouldn't have hesitated. But after wanting 72 high-level crystal coins and then also asking for 8 White Wolf Fangs, Blue River felt that this person was being excessively greedy, truly worthy of being a despicable person who would sacrifice an entire team to hide a BOSS. This person's skills may be great, but their character is not, is it suitable to recruit someone like this into the guild?

  Blue River had already started to hesitate, but Ye Xiu replied to his message in a calm and unhurried manner: "Is it expensive? In that case, I don't want the Silver Pendant. Alright?"

  Lan He couldn't help but laugh and cry, quickly replying: "Brother, we're all understanding people, I don't care how many of the Mysterious Silver Pendants you want, but the Strong Gale Beads and White Wolf Sharp Teeth..."

  "How many is suitable?" Ye Xiu asked.

  "It's one or the other," Blue River said.

  "This... is really hard to choose!" Ye Xiu said.

  "You can't have both fish and bear's paw at the same time, brother." Lanhe said with a heavy heart.

  "Then let White Wolf show off his skills!" Ye Xiu said.

  "Alright." Lan He let out a long sigh.

  "Even if it's just a little bit of meaning, isn't it better than nothing?" Ye Xiu said.

  Lan He almost vomited blood.

  "What about forty?" Ye Xiu asked.

  "Old brother, you... " Lan He was at a loss for words.

  "Thirty?"

  "Uh..."

  "Twenty-five, is that all?" Ye Xiu asked.

  The blue river was speechless for a long time, with hands on the keyboard, but couldn't find the right words.

  "Twenty-four?"

  Lan He's heart suddenly softened, and everyone had reached a point of lowering their prices. The majestic Lan Xi Pavilion was actually haggling with someone over the price of a powerful bead - wasn't this humiliating? Lan He immediately slapped his keyboard: "Alright, that's it!"

  "Oh."

  Lan He had just caught his breath when another message popped up: "How many of those silver pendants are you going to give out, anyway? It's not like it matters to you either way."

  Lan He fell off the chair as soon as he sat down, what kind of person is this? The silver pendant is basically useless, and you still want to take advantage of it being cheap?

  "What do you want so much of this stuff for?" Lan He asked in puzzlement.

  "This thing is completely useless in our eyes, but in some people's eyes, its value is different." Ye Xiu said.

  Blue River naturally knew that Ye Xiu was referring to those girls who liked these decorations. Could it be that this guy wanted them just to flirt with the girls? Wanting one or two would be fine, but wanting so many at once - did he want to flirt with that many girls? Blue River looked down on him and asked: "How many do you want?"

  "Are you indifferent? Then give them all to me?" Ye Xiu said.

  "We only have a few, just two..." Lan He had to lie, while deeply resenting himself for saying something that "didn't matter at all". Indeed, this thing didn't have much practical value, but it was also a very rare decoration, and giving it to the union's sisters as a benefit would be a good choice. Giving it all to this person for free was also a bit heart-wrenching.

  “……”

  Ye Xiu only responded with an ellipsis, but Lan Jue's face turned bright red. This lie was indeed clumsy enough, but since it had already been told, Lan Jue continued to brazenly pretend: "So that's how it is?"

  "If it's hidden, how will we distribute it?" Ye Xiu asked again.

  "Come on, everybody!" Lan He replied with a hearty laugh.

  “……”

  Ellipsis, see ellipsis. Lanhe sighed, a person who tried to take advantage of the situation, how could he be deceived in this? Rock-paper-scissors, seemingly fair. But Lanhe and his three friends were relatives, while the other side was a lone outsider, rock-paper-scissors was essentially four against one, they had an unfair advantage. This person obviously also understood this point.

  "Haha, just kidding..." Lan Hei hastily laughed, "If it's hidden, the record might not be achievable, and it wouldn't be good to let brother work in vain. For the things that are hidden, brother can choose one first, how about that?"

  "Alright, it's settled then." Ye Xiu replied.

  "When is that brother coming over? Our people are all on this side of Frost Forest!" Blue River said.

  "Oh, wait a minute, I'll get this copy out." Ye Xiu said.

  "Alright." Blue River nodded and glanced at Ye Xiu in his friend list: "Brother, are you going to switch jobs first?"

  "Never mind, let's just leave it like this for now!"

  Lan He was taken aback: "This..."

  "Never mind for now, I'll hurry up and get through this chapter." Ye Xiu replied.

  So Lan He quietly turned off the message and thought about it for a long time, feeling that something was wrong. After carefully thinking about it for half a day, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

  What's going on? The original intention was to invite this guy to run the next dungeon together and get to know each other, but instead they spent half a day haggling over rewards. This completely changes the nature of things, making it seem like they're hiring someone to work for them. Does Blue Brook Pavilion really need to hire outsiders?

  As soon as he thought of this, Lan He suddenly felt a pang in his heart for the rewards he had negotiated and struggled to obtain, feeling as if he had given them away for nothing. But then, he thought of the conditions under which these things were sent out: breaking through the customs record.

  Lan He was stunned at once.

  It's just an excuse, the record-breaking and all that. They have forty top-notch guilds in their Blue Brook Pavilion this time, how can they possibly be short-handed with five-man teams? Being short-handed is just a plausible reason to invite someone, and as for breaking records, it's a fake common goal to struggle for, making communication easier.

  To be honest, Blue River didn't think that inviting someone casually could create a new record. After 12 o'clock in the morning, the number of instances refreshed, and Blue River had already led the most elite five-man team from Lan Xuan Pavilion to brush Frost Forest three times, with a stable gap from the current record of Zhong Cao Tang. If it's really possible to change because of someone's arrival, wouldn't that person's strength be even stronger than the elites in their guild?

  Lanhe thought Junmoshou was a personal talent, but didn't think he was more talented than the union's elite. But this guy actually haggled with him over the reward for clearing the level, is he serious? He's only level 20 and said he wouldn't change jobs yet, does he really think he can refresh the record like that?

  "Lanhe, how's your contact with that person going?" Just then, Gao Shou, a fellow teammate of Lanhe's, asked.

  "He's coming soon, he'll be here in a minute, who will give up their seat?" Lan He looked at the other four people on his team.

  "Oh, I'll take a break then!" someone said.

  Lan He responded with a murmur and immediately left the group. The remaining four people squatted at the entrance of the instance, waiting for Jun Mo Xiao's arrival, while Lan He was still uncertain in his heart.

  Went to take care of something about the cover at night, so the update was late. The cover is an unexpected surprise, it will be changed back to the original soon, everyone please remain calm and ignore it!
