156 Golden Treasure Ches (1/2)

”Ayeeeee… Okay, fine. Treasure chest is yours, but you need to offer me more than just that!”

Two thousand gold coins were equivalent to twenty thousand dollars -- still a huge income for Smart Tomato, but he had a family to feed. For someone who relied on gaming as his bread and butter, the money would never be enough!

”Alright! Another five hundred!”

Jiang Fei had cleared a few Unknown Dungeons, earning himself a small fortune. Naturally, he would not think much of such a sum.

”Alright! But how do I know that you have that much money? In fact, how can you guarantee that once I bring you to the location, you won't keep it all for yourself?”

Although they had agreed on the price, Smart Tomato was still not convinced by Jiang Fei's promise.

”Let's just make it official!”

Jiang Fei laughed. Although the System Protocol charges a small amount of administrative fees for such arrangements, it was very secure, and the payout would be guaranteed.

”Great!”

Smart Tomato nodded. The System Protocol was indeed very secure. If Jiang Fei did not have enough money, the agreement would not be signed. Once the agreement was signed with Jiang Fei, the amount of gold coins promised by Jiang Fei would be temporarily frozen. As long as he brought Jiang Fei to the golden treasure chest's area safely and the Legendary Quality treasure chest was truly within a hundred meters, the system would automatically deduct those gold coins from Jiang Fei's account.

”Alright, let's head out now!”

Once they were done signing the agreement, Jiang Fei laughed cheerfully. However, right then, Smart Tomato stared at Jiang Fei with his eyes and mouth wide open. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost.

”You… You… You are Verdure Glider?” Smart Tomato stuttered.

”Yes!”

Jiang Fei nodded.

”It is you after all! Truly… Truly…”

Smart Tomato still could not make sense of his own speech.

Jiang Fei had gained a name in Dawnlight City. He was ranked number one in terms of levels. The strongest tanker in Dawnlight City, the distributor of godly equipment and the Mobile Cash Box. Such were just a handful of Jiang Fei's nicknames.

Once he became aware of Jiang Fei's status, Smart Tomato stopped asking questions whatsoever. After all, Jiang Fei's nickname of Mobile Cash Box was not for nothing!

Jiang Fei followed Smart Tomato out of the Dawnlight City. They headed towards the northern region. Very soon, they had departed from the main training area. The levels of monsters surrounding them only grew. Through the Mysterious Ring, Jiang Fei could tell that the monsters here were of Level 40 and above!

As they walked and talked, Jiang Fei got to know Smart Tomato better. He was quite the unique individual. Although he relied on gaming for survival, he took a different route from other Class Players who competed amongst each other and managed guilds. He played to explore and locate scattered treasure chests. Apart from that, he would roam around taverns, the city gate or the dungeon entrances to hear out news about such treasures. Whenever it was appropriate, he would summarize the news and sell it to interested parties.

It was not the most the lucrative lifestyle, but he had freedom. After a few successful trades in the game, he had earned himself a fair bit of cash. Therefore, he did not have much care about levelling, equipment or any of that. Otherwise, he would not have been willing to die four times in tracing the safe route.

Jiang Fei had learned much due to Smart Tomato's own self-promotion. After all, Jiang Fei was a very wealthy man. If Smart Tomato discovered some secret location or an undiscovered dungeon, he could sell the information to Jiang Fei. This was why Smart Tomato had warmed up so much to Jiang Fei!

Not long after, the two arrived at the location. It was far away, above a small hill. Jiang Fei could see the brightly shining golden treasure chest there. Of course, he could also see that the hill was filled with tigers. These tigers were normal monsters of Level 45. Even if players formed a group of a hundred people, they might narrowly make it through. However, some of the people would inevitably die.

A massive tiger lay next to the treasure chest. The white tiger was nearly four to five meters long, and was sprawled next to the treasure chest, napping.
