Chapter 47: Sword and Flame Mercenary Group

  Zhang Yang and the others waited for a while longer. When they saw that the corpses on the ground suddenly became transparent and disappeared, they knew that Ao Shi and his gang had all revived in the graveyard, albeit weakly.

  "Go, it's over!" Zhang Yang put away his Silver Scales Sword.

  Han Paozi nodded, although he still had a lingering sense of resentment in his heart. After all, he had killed Ao Shi twice, causing his red name to drop four levels. Adding the additional level drop from his weak revival, it could be said that he had vented his anger!

  Zhang Yang and the other three continued to form the original team of Da Mo Gu Yan's death mode, while Han Paozi went to find his Xijiao Cheng Mei to talk about life and ideals.

  More than half an hour later, Zhang Yang finished his copy and returned to the main city. He saw that there was a new email in his mailbox and went to collect it.

  The thick earth round shield was sold, but the price was not a fixed price of 1,000 gold. Instead, it was auctioned off to 650 gold, and no one bid higher, resulting in an automatic transaction!

  Zhang Yang was taken aback, thinking that the shield he had sold well yesterday had suddenly dropped in price so much! He moved his mind and came to the auction house to search for "Thick Earth Round Shield". As a result, there were actually other people's "Thick Earth Round Shields" on this, with the same starting price as him, 500 gold, but the fixed price was only 700 gold.

  The shield seller's name is "Fa Shang Piao".

  It's actually him!

  Zhang Yang was suddenly startled and quickly rummaged through his mind for information about this person.

  In the previous season, "Miracle" had a very powerful mercenary group called "Sword and Fire Mercenary Group". This mercenary group was not large, with only 10 people, but its combat power was quite strong, taking down almost half of China's five-man and ten-man death mode dungeons' first clears!

  As long as you pay, this mercenary group will work for you and put the name of the boss's guild or the boss himself on the team that cleared the dungeon.

  This mercenary group, apart from running instances, also takes on various assassination and bodyguard jobs. Since they are all top-notch experts, it's unknown how many people have fallen victim to their sinister hands! As a result, the "Sword and Fire Mercenary Group" is also known as the "Trashy Mercenary Group".

  Someone asked them why they didn't build their own guild. The result was that those people said building a guild required 30 responses, but they only had 10, not enough people...

  This "cheap goods" mercenary team continued for half a year, until the A-level and S-level professional leagues opened. The team had different opinions on which company's title sponsorship to accept, resulting in a split. Six people who were greedy for money took on the name of a Japanese enterprise "Toyota Team" and entered the S-level league. The other four people re-recruited new members, but the quality of the personnel dropped by one level, and they continued to struggle in the A-level league.

  This guy is a former member of the "Cheap Goods" mercenary group, who later mixed in the A-level league and became a professional guardian knight. Zhang Yang had fought against him before and acknowledged that his opponent's skills were not inferior to his own!

  However, to make a thick earth round shield, you must clear the death mode of Banga Cave and defeat the hidden BOSS, only then will you have a chance to obtain the casting blueprint! And according to the development of the previous life, the first clearance of Banga Cave's death mode will be a month later...

  Zhang Yang suddenly understood!

  In the previous life, the reason why the Death Mode of Bengdi Cave was stuck for most top teams was because of Lao San's BUG-like existence! However, in this life, he "invented" the terrain BUG strategy ahead of time. Both Shilianyuan and Dàmò Gūyān Guild know about this easy and simple tactic, it's hard to guarantee that no one will leak it out!

  This way, the BOSS who was originally out of reach has become easy prey, and anyone can defeat it!

  This life, due to his rebirth, changed the course of the game! The butterfly effect has begun to manifest!

  He sighed, and Zhang Yang took out a thick earthen circular shield again, with a starting price of 500 gold and a price tag of 700 gold. He thought to himself, "Let's make some money together, everyone! Why engage in mutual sabotage and price suppression? That would only lead to both sides suffering losses. Never do such a thing again!"

  "Server Announcement: The Sword and Fire Mercenary Team has successfully cleared the Bengodi Cave (Death Mode) and broken the clearance time record. Their great achievement will be listed on the Death Mode Speedrun Leaderboard (China Region), let's cheer for them!"

  "Server Announcement: Player Bawangdao (Captain) broke the record for clearing Bengdi Hole (Death Mode), and received a system reward of 10 gold coins, one level 1 rune stone, and increased alliance prestige by 250 points!"

  "Server Announcement: Player Forty-Four Thieves (Team Member) broke..."

  Suddenly, the server went crazy and started brushing screens wildly, with everything turning red!

  "What a strong team this is! They've actually broken the record!"

  "Mercenary group of sword and fire, just like in the game 'Teng Long'!"

  "Awesome!"

  “……”

  The area channel was suddenly bustling with excitement.

  Zhang Yang was slightly surprised and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

  That red practice fire one door heart thought to obtain the Bangka Di hole death mode speed record, in the end but only a empty! The core players of Lost Paradise can also be considered professional players, but compared with "trash" they are completely not enough to look at!

  It's going to be a fierce competition for the first kill in the copy after this!

  Zhang Yang opened the death mode speedrun leaderboard and looked at the "trash" players' clearance records.

  27 minutes 39 seconds!

  This score is pretty good! Zhang Yang probably still remembers that in the last century, this record was refreshed several times and finally settled at 24 minutes and 17 seconds. Because this copy has a low level and the upper limit is only level 15, it's hard to get a good score!

  And like Mazavi's nest, it starts at level 20 and has a cap of level 29, with a span of 10 levels, giving players ample time to speedrun. And after reaching level 100, the time required to level up is around 10 days to half a month, which means there's even more time for speedrunning.

  "A drop", a cryptic message suddenly arrived.

  "Warrior's defeat! I've really lost big time this round!" The voice of Chi Lian Huo was unusually disheartened.

  "Don't be so disheartened, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Zhang Yang comforted. In fact, he and Chi Yan Huo didn't have any particularly close relationship, and he wasn't fond of people with such deep schemes, but rather Ghost Heaven was more to his taste.

  Chi Yan Fire smiled wryly, this copy of "Miracle" may have many versions, but he also has self-awareness. Lost Paradise's strength is just so-so, not too high or low. To get the first clearance of a certain Bangga Cave, he still had to cling to Zhang Yang's thigh!

  "Warrior, this time I've come to challenge you to a business deal!"

  "Oh, want to buy a shield? 1000 gold per piece, the more the better!"

  "No! No! I want to reserve a copy of Mazavi's Nest for the first communication!" Chi Lianhuo said hastily.

  Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said: "Sorry, the five-person team is already full!"

  "Hey, War General, we're old business partners! Give me some face and make room for me, or I'll give you 10,000 gold. How about it?" Red Lotus Fire began to tempt him.

  Zhang Yang's current goal is to build a stable team, not only to conquer dungeons but also to prepare for future professional league matches. As for the start-up capital for his business venture, he already has it and no longer needs to work for others.

  "No way, it's already been said! Besides, tomorrow we're going to hit Mazawi's nest, do you have anyone on your side who is level 20?" Zhang Yang laughed.

  Chi Yan Huo doesn't restrict speech, they are all elites who want to break the record of Bengdi Hole's passage. None of them deliberately practiced leveling up and suppressed their level at 15. With just one night's effort, where can he find a 20-level member!

  "Warrior, don't be in such a rush! Look at the ranking list, there are hardly any above level 20! This first clear isn't urgent, let's take a few more days and I'll add another 10,000 gold, how about that?" Chi Lian Huo grew impatient.

  "Sorry, Chi Yan Huo Hui is long, it's already been said!" Zhang Yang refused without hesitation.

  Hong Lian Huo fell silent for a while before saying: "Alright, let's speed up our leveling and book your level 30 instance!"

  "Haha, that's for later, let's talk about it later!" Zhang Yang laughed loudly.

  After hanging up the phone with Chi Yan Huo, Zhang Yang went to the auction house again to sweep away the goods, clearing out all the Ganlancao and Yinxinghua. Due to Zhang Yang's crazy sweeping in the past few days, the prices of these two medicinal materials had already doubled, causing many alchemy players to cry out in distress, after all, not everyone was as rich as Zhang Yang.

  All the newly collected medicinal materials have been turned into finished products. Zhang Yang's primary dark resistance potion has reached 300 sets, occupying 60% of the bank's space. In about another day or two, his bank space will be insufficient again.

  Look at the time, it's already past 11 o'clock, Zhang Yang chose to go offline and sleep.

  The next day at six o'clock, Zhang Yang woke up and followed his usual routine, putting on his exercise clothes and punching a set before starting his long run.

  All the way from the residential area, passing through the garden, through the market, came to an alley entrance, Zhang Yang stopped.

  It wasn't the end of his long run, but rather a middle-aged man in his fifties lying at the entrance of the alley, holding his head with both hands, looking like he was injured. The surrounding area was crowded with onlookers, all eager to see the commotion, but none willing to lend a hand.

  Just as Zhang Yang was about to step forward, he was grabbed by the arm by a sixty-year-old old man: "Young man, don't get involved in other people's business! That guy is an old swindler. Whoever goes up to help him will be bitten and at least cheated out of hundreds or thousands!"

  No wonder nobody dares to do good deeds in this era, the atmosphere has been ruined by these people who have no integrity and no morals at all! It's circulating online that how many kind-hearted people were bitten back, bitten until they were covered in blood, bitten until they lost hope? And how many people who truly needed help, but lost their lives because of these people?

  It's a big income if you cheat! If you don't cheat, there is no loss. Just admit the mistake and it will be fine!

  Zhang Yang shook his head and continued walking forward.

  "Hey young man, didn't I tell you not to interfere?" The old man grabbed Zhang Yang's arm again.

  "Grandpa, I have to go home through this alley, what can I do!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

  "You'd better be careful, that old rascal has a wicked mind!" The old man warned kindly.

  "Alright, I know, thank you, sir!"

  However, some things can't be avoided. Zhang Yang had just stepped over the old man lying on the ground and hadn't taken a step forward when he felt his ankle being grabbed tightly. He turned his head to look back, wasn't it the old scoundrel who was lying on the ground?

  P.S: It seems like I forgot to update a chapter yesterday, uh, sorry.
