Chapter 560 - The Bet Is On (2/2)
One of the players stepped out and said with a smile, “Thank you for teleporting back from a long distance way. This place is too crowded. Can we talk in private?”
“Sure.” Roland nodded.
That man must be a big boss. The four hundred gold coins he asked for equaled seven million yuan.
It wasn’t humiliating to be slightly humbler when talking business with a big boss.
They walked to one side of the city wall, which was remote and had few people around.
The player who just talked was tall, skinny, and average-looking. Apparently, he didn’t add any Charm to his stats, just like Roland.
“Mr. Roland, the market price of gold coins is 16,000 yuan apiece. Can you give us a discount since we’re buying four hundred? What do you say 15,000 yuan apiece?”
Roland clicked his tongue. “May I know your name? You’re asking for a 400,000-yuan discount. Don’t you think that’s too much?”
“Call me Carrot.” The boss smiled and said, “That’s just our offer, and we can always negotiate. However, we’re sincerely hoping to buy four hundred gold coins at one time. It will save you a lot of time versus selling them individually. You should let us save some cost too.”
Thinking for a moment, Roland said, “Okay, 15,000 it is. You’re truly frank, so I’ll be frank
too.”
“Thank you very much.” Carrot was stunned, and his eyes became unfocused. It seemed that he was off on the Internet making the transfer. A moment later, he refocused his eyes on Roland. “The money has been transferred. Please confirm it, Mr. Roland.”
Roland confirmed that he had indeed received the transfer.
So, he took out four bags from his Backpack and gave them to the buyers. “You can make a count.”
Carrot waved his hand and stored the four bags in his own system Backpack. Then he said, “Mr. Roland, we have another little favor to ask of you.”
Roland was in a great mood after finishing the transaction. He said, “What is it? I’ll give you a hand as long as I can.”
“Would you please die?”
While he talked, the five buyers dropped five magic scrolls.
Five layers of Dimensional Anchors were instantly unleashed, and almost a hundred transparent spatial chains emerged from the void and locked the space nearby tightly.
“What’s the meaning of this?”
Roland subconsciously stepped back and looked at the locked space. If there were only two scrolls of Dimensional Anchors, Roland could’ve escaped with a flash by trying his best.
However… the task was impossible with five scrolls.
“Exactly what I just said.” There wasn’t any satisfaction or hate on Carrot’s face. Instead, he seemed vaguely apologetic. “We’re hoping that we can kill you.”
Roland got it. “So, this is a trap for me. You eased my wariness with a deal that involved millions of yuan so that I would fall into your
trap.”
“Not exactly. We had truly intended to purchase gold coins, and we wanted to kill you too. I just thought that it would be convenient to do both at the same time.”
“Then why do you want to kill me?” Roland secretly summoned his mental power, preparing to break free. But he wanted to learn more useful information now that someone had set up such a major trap. For example, he wanted to find out if they were hired by anyone. “We’re Spell Breakers.” Carrot smiled. “We need an opportunity to show ourselves to everybody, or it would be pointless for us to continue in this class. The regular Mage players are dumb as hell, and it’s boring to fight Warlocks and Priests whose spells are always the same. It’s not allowed to kill the NPC Mages. So, only you, the most powerful Mage in the whole server, deserve our attention.”
S*it!
Even though Roland had always been calm, he felt greatly shocked after hearing that.
Since this was a game, many players’ behaviors were actually unpredictable.
Besides, Roland thought that these people might already have started livestreaming.
His guess was correct.
A stream channel named “Spell Breakers To Kill Roland” had been opened five minutes earlier.
At this moment, more than a hundred thousand netizens were waiting in the channel. “Damn it. It’s really a deal worth millions! They’ve really put a lot of money forth just in order to kill Roland!”
“How else could Roland have been drawn here?”
“They needed those gold coins in the first place, so there isn’t exactly any cost! They’re just good at taking advantage of the environment and the incidents around them!”
“There’s no cost? Every Dimensional Anchor scroll costs at least ten gold coins, and five means fifty gold coins. That is to say, they’ve already spent a million just to keep Roland earthbound. What’s extravagance if not this?”
“Five Spell Breakers! And the space has been locked by super space anchors! Roland’s survival isn’t certain now that he’s lost his mobility!”
“The bet about whether or not Roland can survive is on! Join this chat, 5XXXXX, if you want to participate!”
