Chapter 1306: Dirty Transaction
“That was a small matter, he said that he has forgiven you. I have a quest on my end and I wanted to know if you are interested in it.”
To think that Fearless could still utter words of forgiveness after stealing someone else’s quest… Fearless’ level of sc.u.mbagness was truly something that w.a.n.g Yu could never reach.
Of course, Captain Don’t Open Fire was an intelligent man and knew who he could offend and who he couldn’t. As shameless as the people of Quan Zhen Sect were, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
However, the last few words of Fearless had indeed piqued his interest.
Quan Zhen Sect loved to cause trouble wherever they go. However, extraordinary people tended to do extraordinary things. The type of quest that this bunch of people received were usually beyond ordinary.
“Quest? What quest?” Captain Don’t Open Fire hurriedly asked.
Fearless coolly replied, “A quest that adds 100 points to the development level of the west side of the city. If you are interested then meet us at the bar, we will only wait for you here for ten minutes! If you do not appear within ten minutes, we will look for someone else!”
As the guild overseeing the west side, the only thing that Captain Don’t Open Fire lacked currently was development level over his region and reputation. After having lost a quest to w.a.n.g Yu today, his heart has been gloomy ever since. Now that Fearless had offered a quest that could raise the development level of the region that he oversaw, Captain Don’t Open Fire was instantly energised. He hurriedly replied, “Don’t, don’t, don’t! I’ll definitely be there!”
As he was speaking, Captain Don’t Open Fire immediately took out a teleportation scroll, appearing at a teleportation point near the bar.
He was truly an extravagant person. He had actually used a teleportation scroll to travel over such a short distance without any hesitation. Clearly, his desire for the development points over his region was extremely high.
“How is it? Is he coming?”
Within the bar, w.a.n.g Yu tossed the question to Fearless who was by his side.
Fearless gave w.a.n.g Yu a thumbs up and said, “It’s done! He’ll be here soon!”
“For real?” w.a.n.g Yu was in disbelief… In just a few minutes, he had managed to sway Captain Don’t Open Fire? Wasn’t this guy too good with words?
“He will appear within ten seconds! Ten…”
“Dang!”
Just when Fearless began his countdown, the door to the bar was violently pushed open, only to see Captain Don’t Open Fire frantically rus.h.i.+ng in.
“This way!” Fearless waved his hand over at Captain Don’t Open Fire. Upon hearing his call, Captain Don’t Open Fire turned his head over and saw w.a.n.g Yu sitting beside Fearless, causing him to panic a little.
Fearless hurriedly comforted him, “Don’t worry, the quest is his!”
Upon hearing this, Captain Don’t Open Fire hurriedly muttered some prayers in his heart, before mustering up his courage before walking over to w.a.n.g Yu’s duo.
“Sit!”
Fearless pointed towards the seat between w.a.n.g Yu and himself.
Captain Don’t Open Fire didn’t walk over to that seat, but instead chose to sit opposite of w.a.n.g Yu.
Even though he knew that such a small difference in distance would not be able to guarantee his life if w.a.n.g Yu decided to deal with him, it was still better to keep his distance away from him.
Business talks were all along Fearless’ forte. Thus, w.a.n.g Yu had decided to take a backseat this time around and observe.
Upon seeing how frightened Captain Don’t Open Fire was of w.a.n.g Yu, Fearless helplessly waved his hand and said, “Seeing your frightened appearance, I shall cut to the chase. Do you want to help us with this region development quest?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire wasn’t a fool, thus he would naturally want to take a look at the quest before committing to it. He nodded his head and said, “Of course I want it, however, I would have to take a good look at it first. Otherwise, I am unable to offer a price for it.”
“Offer a price…”
w.a.n.g Yu glanced at Fearless, before private messaging him, “You asked him for money?”
“No, he’s offering it on his own accord.” Fearless smiled, seemingly as if he had seen this coming.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Yu displayed the details of the quest to Captain Don’t Open Fire.
Upon seeing the quest content, Captain Don’t Open Fire scratched his head and said, “This quest looks familiar.”
“Obviously!” w.a.n.g Yu replied, “Didn’t you guys take on the “Wall In Danger” quest today morning? This is the follow-up quest..”
“I…”
Upon hearing this, Captain Don’t Open Fire’s heart broke down. Heck, they had stolen his quest and were thinking of selling it back to him, these people were truly…
“How is it, Boss Captain Don’t Open Fire? The quest is as I have mentioned, right?” Fearless asked, with a cheeky smile.
“There’s no discrepancy!” Captain Don’t Open Fire gritted his teeth and replied, “Speak, how much are you asking for!”
In actual fact, there was no such thing as s.n.a.t.c.hing of quests in games. When it came to this type of quests, the player who was more capable would naturally be able to take it up. Big Bear’s bunch had spent the entire morning pondering over the quest but did not come up with anything. w.a.n.g Yu, on the other hand, only needed a few hours to progress till the second phase of it. Evidently, this quest was better suited for someone else.
What Captain Don’t Open Fire didn’t lack the most was money. Thus, spending some money to claim back the quest in its second phase wasn’t too painful for him.
Captain Don’t Open Fire knew clearly how ruthless Quan Zhen Sect was. Since he had asked for an offer from Fearless, he was naturally prepared to be slaughtered.
However, contrary to his expectation, Fearless merely waved his hand and said, “No money required!”
“No money required?” Captain Don’t Open Fire was stunned silly when he heard this. Shortly after, he said meekly, “Boss Fearless… our Void Blade is a relatively new guild, please spare us.”
Who didn’t know that the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect were people that would never place themselves at a disadvantage? If they did not want money, could it be that they wanted their lives?
Captain Don’t Open Fire suddenly felt despair in his heart the moment he thought of this.
“What kind of logic is this?” w.a.n.g Yu, who was listening to the entire conversation, couldn’t bear this anymore and interrupted, “We aren’t asking for any money from you and yet we are still exploiting you?”
“Just say how much you want. I can give you real cash if need be…” Captain Don’t Open Fire said bitterly.
“We really do not want any money from you!” Fearless said, before adding, “But we have a condition!”
“I knew it!”
Upon hearing what Fearless said, Captain Don’t Open Fire finally dropped the stone in his heart. It was better if there was a clearly laid out condition. Otherwise, he would be butchered brutally at the end of the day if there wasn’t one.
After pondering over it for a while, Captain Don’t Open Fire said, “What’s the condition, please say it!”
Fearless smiled and said, “This quest can not be transferred and only share, thus, the people from Quan Zhen Sect have to be a part of it.”
“Just this?”
Upon hearing Fearless’ condition, Captain Don’t Open Fire was pleasantly surprised. To think that this was their only condition.
“En! What does Captain Don’t Open Fire think of this?” Fearless threw him back a question instead.
“Of course, there’s no problem, just tag along as much as you want!” Captain Don’t Open Fire heroically said.
Captain Don’t Open Fire knew full well the capabilities of the members from Quan Zhen Sect. With their help this time around, it would greatly bolster their fighting strength.
Without waiting for Captain Don’t Open Fire to recover himself, Fearless added, “We are more or less considered mercenary troops, so you can’t expect us to work for free right? After giving the quest over to you for free, surely you can’t expect us to work under you for nothing.”
See? Captain Don’t Open Fire knew Fearless would surely pull such a stunt.
Captain Don’t Open Fire waved his hand in an exaggerated manner and said, “No worries, as long as the quest is completed, just quote any price!”
“I shall name a price then!” Fearless smiled and said, “Our battle team has recently won the champions.h.i.+p t.i.tle in the national tournament. Thus, it is not an exaggeration to say that we are the strongest battle team out there. The fee of 10000 gold per member to get us to help out in this quest shouldn’t be too much to ask for right?”
Ten thousand gold was currently a few tens of thousands of Chinese yuan. However, according to what Fearless said, Quan Zhen Sect was the best battle team out there. Thus, spending this amount to get them to help out with the quest was within reason. After all, everyone had seen their capabilities before.
