Chapter 181 : Server Enemy No. 1 29 (2/2)

The topic derailed from there. Other than the occasional complaint, there wasn’t any more discussion about the Camp War on world chat.

‘Probably went to a more private chat to discuss it… After all, it isn’t exactly something you’d want to boast about.’

Shi Sheng stealthily went and logged on to her Idle Chess account to peek at Sang Yu’s Not Late’s location. Apparently, she was at Langya Ridge.

[PM] Idle Chess : [I just logged on. Are you okay?]

[PM] Sang Yu’s Not Late : [I’m fine.]

Shi Sheng didn’t say anything else. After roughly a minute, Sang Yu’s Not Late sent another message.

[PM] Sang Yu’s Not Late : [Do you think I’m the reason we lost the Camp War too?]

[PM] Idle Chess : [I believe in you.]

[PM] Sang Yu’s Not Late : [Thanks.]

[PM] Idle Chess : [I’ll bring you dungeon-clearing… It’ll be better to get away from all this.]

Though Sang Yu hesitated a bit, she still agreed in the end.

Shi Sheng brought Sang Yu to go dungeon-clearing, multi-tasking between killing mobs using Idle Chess and splitting loot with Ink Seeker using her other character.

Though the reward for conquering the tower was only a title, they had gotten plenty of loot along the way, so the two called Profiteer over.

[Party] Call Me Profiteer : [Ink Seeker Dashen, Music Dashen… your luck is simply incredible! All these are top tier loot!]

[Party] Music For Miles : [quit the chatter, just gimme the cash]

[Party] Call Me Profiteer : [……]

‘Even more to-the-point than Ink Seeker Dashen…’

[Party] Call Me Profiteer : [I don’t have that much on me right now. Please wait a moment while I transfer some funds from my alternate account.]

Shi Sheng felt bored by the time Profiteer finished, so she asked a random question.

[Party] Music For Miles : [hey profiteer, what were you collecting heavenly mystery crystals for?]

‘He’s been collecting those things ever since I came here! And he’s still collecting them! Though I guess not as much as before…’

[Party] Call Me Profiteer : [I suppose I can give you this information as a gift: Heavenly Mystery Crystals are going to be very important once the level cap has been raised to 150.]

[Party] Music For Miles : [how’d you know? ur sleepin with the game company’s ceo?]

[Party] Call Me Profiteer : […I have my ways, so please don’t ask any more Dashen. This item will have a very great use in the future. I’m telling you guys this: In the future, you might not be able to buy it even if you wanted to.]

‘Can’t buy it even if you had money? That awesome?’

The drop rate of Heavenly Mystery Crystals wasn’t high, and since it didn’t have any known use, many players would dispose the crystals when they dropped. There probably weren’t more than a thousand Heavenly Mystery Crystals circulating in the game.

[Party] Music For Miles : [aren’t you afraid i’ll steal business from you if you tell me like this?]

[Party] Call Me Profiteer : [Music Dashen sure knows how to crack a joke! Why, you deal with four-digit figures on a regular basis, would you really covet this bit of small change?]

The reason why he dared to tell her was exactly because he knew she wasn’t that keen on money. Just now when she was selling stuff to him, it had been him who set the price. Had Ink Seeker not been there too, he would’ve earned some hefty profit.

[Party] Music For Miles : [didn’t you say you wanted three lifetimes before? still want it?]

[Party] Call Me Profiteer : [?]

Profiteer was puzzled, to say the least. ‘Wasn’t she unwilling to sell it to me no matter what? How come she’s willing now?’

Profiteer looked over the chat log and thought back to what he’d said when he had offended her before. To his exasperation, he realized that all he’d needed to do to get on her good side was praise her…
