179 Chapter 179 - Foe-herder’s Offensive Maneuvers (2/2)

Just the name of the Warrior ranked sixth on the leaderboard would garner quite the attention of players even in other in-game cities, yet the four ladies who were from the same city as him merely looked at one another in confusion, ”Who is he?”

”I'm the guild leader of Cloud Herder. We fought with you girls yesterday,” Foe-herder informed them, feeling depressed. Not recognizing him at a glance was fine, yet for the ladies to actually not even know his name, was he that unremarkable of a player?

”Oh! You're from that silly guild with five hundred men that only sent out fifty men for the guild versus guild tournament, right?” one of the ladies asked.

”Hey! Don't say such things!” another lady admonished her as she surreptitiously glanced at Foe-herder.

He felt so embarrassed, but since it was the truth, he could not retort back. As for the move being silly… Since Cloud Herder lost the match, what else could it be?

Foe-herder coughed and tried to change the subject, ”I wanna ask the name of your guild's male Mage.”

”Ah! I remember you,” another lady suddenly cried out, adding, ”You asked us the same question after we finished our fight yesterday.”

Foe-herder nodded his head, ”Yes!”

”Sis Xiaowu said to not tell you of our male player's name. Scram! We're leaving!” The four ladies then hurried off.

”Ah…” Foe-herder's hand was already reaching into his dimensional pocket for his money pouch to begin his currency ploy, but he ended up staying quiet as he released his hold of the coin purse.

Foe-herder refrained from using that ploy, as he realized that there were four ladies present. If he were to tempt them with money, he would have to satisfy all four. The four together would turn the 100 gold coins into 25 gold coins each. If one of them asked for 100 gold coins, he would likely have to pay each of them that much.

Why be hung up on this one group? With that thought in mind, Foe-herder asked for the location of the next target.

”One lady is here at Peddlers' Street 3. She has a stall set up!” someone reported to Foe-herder.

Quickly making his way over to Peddlers' Street 3, Foe-herder was then approached by his guild member stationed there and was directed to where the stall was.

Foe-herder gave the lady a once over. She was a Fighter. Her hands were hugging her knees as she squatted on the ground. The stall before her had many useless items, yet she eagerly awaited the customers to arrive.

”Seems like someone who is in need of money,” Foe-herder smilingly said as he confidently walked toward the direction of her stall and was about to carry out his ploy.

...A few minutes later, a commotion suddenly brewed in Peddlers' Street 3 and Foe-herder could be seen squeezing his way out of the crowd with his hands covering the back of his head for protection. Several items sailed through the air and bounced off of his armor, as the female Fighter waved her fists and loudly cursed him, ”Trying to poach our guild member?! You even dare to bribe me with gold coins! You better run, you scoundrel!”

Foe-herder fled from Peddlers' Street 3 with a flustered look on his face. The Cloud Herder's member that was responsible for tailing this target also ran out, fixing Foe-herder a confused gaze, ”Guild Leader, why did you flee from her?”

”Many people are nearby, so doing this sort of thing here is difficult!” Foe-herder replied as he sweated. The lady got angry once he revealed his intention to bribe her. Getting shouted at in one of the busiest streets in Yunduan City for trying to bribe a lady, he could not help but feel immense shame and anger.

”Peddlers' Streets and taverns; let's avoid those places with many eyewitnesses,” Foe-herder announced on the guild channel after this incident.

”There ain't many people here!” someone immediately suggested a target in one of the less traveled by streets of Yunduan City. Foe-herder rushed over there while asking, ”What is she doing there?”

”Seems like she's repeating a quest,” the member reported.

”What quest is there in that place?” Foe-herder asked, perplexed.

”I don't know,” The member was equally clueless on this front. ”Could it be a hidden quest? She has been repeating this quest here for quite some time now.”

”Is that so?!” Foe-herder excitedly hurried over to the said street.

Two guild members showed their heads from the corner of a wall upon his arrival and pointed toward a certain direction: ”We've been counting and she'll be in that spot once every seven minutes. It's been six minutes since she last showed herself, so she should be here soon.” Just as they said this, a lady appeared at the opposite end of the street and noisily made her way toward the location that the two men had just indicated.

”I'm going,” Seeing that the lady was a fellow Warrior, Foe-herder immediately felt a sense of closeness toward her. He arranged his armor presentably and noisily made his way toward the location as well.
