Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 133 Mercenary Guild
Checking his account, Lin Hanchuan now has 35 gold coins, including the cash rewards from the four stages of the [Endless Beast Tide] event.

At this moment, Long Xiaochen and the others arrived.

Cao Renjie asked curiously, "Boss, how much did you sell the profit rights for the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon for?"

Lin Hanchuan replied, "32!"

"So much!" Cao Renjie was slightly surprised; 32 was beyond his expectations.

"The goblin dungeon I used to grind monsters only gave me 180,000 points. The Endless Beast Tide is five levels higher than that, so I thought 240,000 to 250,000 would be the maximum!"

"Adding the gold coin rewards we obtained in the first four phases, the total pure gold coin earnings from the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon now exceed 400,000!"

Lin Hanchuan shook his head and said, "The overall benefits of the Endless Beast Tide are not as good as those of the Goblin Cave!"

Gold coins are only what you can see.

The Goblin Cave dungeon, being just a level 60 hidden dungeon, is more valuable than the Endless Beast Tide.

However, I did gain a lot of experience.

I was level 14 before I entered, and in less than an hour, I've already reached level 19!
Five promotions in a row!

If you focus on grinding the Shura-level [Endless Beast Tide] and try to get as many first kills on wild monsters as possible, you'll need to level up further.

Lin Hanchuan sighed, looked at the loot scattered everywhere, and said, "Clean up the loot, then go to the next dungeon."

The Shura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon has gone through five phases, and so far, the loot has been virtually never cleared.

Furthermore, since Lin Hanchuan was the one who killed most of them, the drop rate of wild monsters increased significantly with the help of high luck.

Therefore, after the monster corpses are refreshed and eliminated by the system.

Copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, potions, weapons... they were everywhere on the ground.

Even Xingchen came to help. They were so busy.

There are quite a few weapons and equipment, but only one piece of gold, which was dropped by the King of Slaughter.

Level 15 Gold +5 [King of Slaughter Set - Chest Armor]

The attributes are good.

The assembly requirements are for soldiers and tanks.

However, for Cao Renjie, who already has the full Mad Bull set, it's a bit of a waste. If he wants to equip the chest armor of the King of Slaughter set, he has to take off the chest armor of the Mad Bull set. The attribute boost he gets is not as good as a complete Mad Bull set.

"Ugh!"

Cao Renjie could only sigh in vain as he looked at the golden breastplate in his hand.

"Hey my ass, you're already fully equipped with silver gear!" Long Xiaochen, still dressed in loose clothing, couldn't help but say from the side.

"Me, my sister, the captain, the three of us are still just cobbled together from various sources. You should be grateful that we have a Silver Bull set!"

"A well-fed man truly doesn't know the hunger of a starving man!"

Cao Renjie handed the golden breastplate to Lin Hanchuan, leaving it to him to handle, and didn't forget to comfort Long Xiaochen, "Ah Long, don't worry, you'll have one too!"

Long Xiaochen smiled but didn't say anything.

Sets aren't so easy to get.

In the early stages, whether you're a pro or a newbie, you're using cobbled-together equipment.

However, no one seemed to care about this.

In the early stages, everyone was mainly focused on leveling up.

Non-growth-type level 10-20 sets are just for transitional use.

If you're quick, you'll be eliminated in a week.

If we wait a little longer, it will only take about half a month, and then we won't need it anymore.

Long Xiaochen was just being sarcastic and couldn't help but say a few words, but he was definitely envious. Cao Renjie had just put on the Mad Bull Set, and now he had an even better Golden Set.

Killing monsters is pretty fast.

However, the process of cleaning up the fallen debris is very slow.

It took more than twenty minutes.

It's almost completely cleaned up.

"Exit the instance!"

Lin Hanchuan gave the order.

The entire Heavenly Path Squad has exited the [Endless Beast Tide] instance.

The moment they stepped out of the dungeon portal, the notification sound of the first clear of [Endless Beast Tide] rang in the minds of all members of the Heavenly Path Squad.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Heavenly Path Team for becoming the first team in the Ninth District to complete the first clear of the Asura-level dungeon!"

This operation was conducted in small teams.

The honor of being the first to clear the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] naturally fell to the Heavenly Dao Squad.

The system sound paused briefly.

Then it rang again.

"The Heavenly Path Team has received the following rewards: 100 points, 1000 gold coins, and 500 reputation points for all members. A server-wide announcement will be made soon!"

The squads that arrive are also ranked.

The ranking is not based on the overall combat power of the players within the team, but on points.

Team points are earned for team activities such as clearing dungeons and completing missions.

Currently, since only the Heavenly Path Squad has been established in the entire Ninth District, the squad rankings in Wangyue City have not yet been opened.

Therefore, only the members of the Heavenly Path Team know their current points.

When Lin Hanchuan and his group made their appearance, the atmosphere that had been building up for a long time instantly erupted into a frenzy.

"It's out! It's out!!"

"Is this the entire Heavenly Path Squad? I have to say, Arakawa Haku is really handsome. The combined good looks of him and me are definitely the highest in the Ninth District."

"That tall, thin, fair-skinned handsome guy is also good-looking, he's my type!"

"But aren't you a man?"

"What's wrong with men? Can't men pursue happiness? In our country, it's legal."

"Brother Huang, can I have your autograph?"

"Brother Xiao, look at me! I'm from District One!"

"Brother Huang, wanna be a couple?"

Amidst everyone's extreme enthusiasm.

The second district-wide announcement since the formation of the Heavenly Path Squad has arrived.

"Ding! Attention all players in District 9! Congratulations to the 'Heavenly Path Team' from Wangyue City for achieving the first clear of the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon, becoming the first team in this district to complete the dungeon for the first time!"

"Ding! Ninth District..."

After the three announcements, Lin Hanchuan and his team's first clear time of the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon also appeared on the [Endless Beast Tide] record stone.

First Place: Heavenly Path Team (Arakawa White Owl)
Difficulty: Asura level
Clearance time: 52 minutes and 35.23 seconds

When a team appears on the record stone, it will automatically indicate who the team leader was when the team first cleared the dungeon.

The time taken to clear a dungeon is not the total time a player spends inside the dungeon, but rather the time from when the player enters the dungeon until they receive the final reward.

The next reward is to check and pick up dropped items.

It is not included in the calculation.

After the system announcement confirmed that the Heavenly Path Team had successfully cleared the Shura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon, becoming the first team in the Ninth District to achieve this feat, the noise at the scene was deafening.

"This historic moment was worth the trip I made to stake out. The Heavenly Path Team not only became the first team established in the Ninth District, but also the first team to achieve a first-time clear of the Shura-level dungeon!"

"Look at the time on this record stone. They cleared the Shura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon for the first time in just 52 minutes. When the 'One Night Alone Drunk' team of ten people cleared the Hard-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon, it took them more than five hours."

"I really can't believe that a four-person team could be the first to clear the Shura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon? Their strength is just too outrageous!"

"Stay calm. After all, the predecessor of the Heavenly Path Squad was the Night Owl Squad. Apart from Arakawa White Owl, the appearances of the other three have changed drastically due to system adjustments, but judging from their physiques, they should all be from the First District Night Owl Squad."

"Brother Huang, are you short of players for your team? My brother and I are both top players on the power rankings in the third server!"

The scene was very noisy.

People even started crowding around Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan picked up Xingchen with one arm and said loudly, "Brothers, don't get excited, please make way for me, I have something urgent to attend to!"

As soon as Lin Hanchuan spoke, the noisy atmosphere at the scene was brought under control to some extent, but someone in the crowd still asked a loud question.

"Brother Xiao, do you have walkthroughs for the three dungeons, [Goblin Cave], [Trap Corridor], and [Endless Beast Tide], for the Shura difficulty level?"

This question reflects the sentiments of all the players present.

The scene fell silent instantly.

Everyone was looking at Lin Hanchuan.

It's common knowledge throughout the city that Arakawa Shiro has achieved the first clear of the three Shura-level dungeons in Mochizuki City. While everyone is cheering for him, they are also very interested in the dungeon strategies.

They now also want to clear high-difficulty dungeons, since the experience and rewards they provide are the best, helping them to quickly improve their strength.

But like Arakawa Shiro, he's the only one in the entire Moon Gazing City who can clear a Shura-level dungeon for the first time entirely through his own strength.

Other players are not strong enough to keep up in the Shura-level dungeons.

We can only rely on guides.

They wanted to know if Arakawa Hakuo had any strategy plans.

"I'll be frank about something: I sold the rights to the rewards from the three dungeons I cleared to the system." Lin Hanchuan looked at the player who had asked him the question. It was rare for someone to ask, so he took this opportunity to explain.

Since the rights to the profits from the dungeon were no longer in his own hands, Lin Hanchuan chose to make it public to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from using it as an excuse.

Everyone was shocked that Arakawa Shirakage would sell all the dungeon rewards. While they were still worried that the dungeon strategy might fall through, Lin Hanchuan continued.

"However, I will make the dungeon guides. I have already cached the Shura-level walkthrough videos for all three dungeons. Next, I will find some professionals to help create more detailed dungeon guides to ensure that every player present can clear the dungeons."

Someone in the crowd pressed for an answer.

"Brother Xiao, when will it be released? How much does a copy of the guide cost?"

This is another issue that everyone is very concerned about.

Since the right to the dungeon rewards has been sold to the system, the subsequent dungeon rewards will naturally have nothing to do with Arakawa Hakuo.

Since the other party is still willing to do it.

It's highly likely they're aiming to sell travel guides.

This is normal.

Selling the dungeon loot rights first, followed by selling strategy guides, is the fastest way to make money after clearing a dungeon for the first time, bar none!

"It's free!" Lin Hanchuan replied with a smile.

"I paid someone to create the walkthroughs for the three dungeons myself, and I will release them all for free once they are finished."

"I don't want a single penny from you!"

"Moreover, it's not just these three dungeons. I will also provide free walkthroughs for all the dungeons I clear for the first time within the Wangyue City territory, including those at the Shura level. I won't charge you a single penny."

"We only hope that with our joint efforts, Wangyue City will flourish in the future and become one of the leading major cities in the Ninth District!"

While Lin Hanchuan's words certainly contained a motivation to sell his reputation, his desire for a better future for Wangyue City was also genuine.

If a city cannot develop, no matter how strong you are, it's just that you are a strong individual.

In the future, let alone a regional unification war, even in a domestic unification war, even if you are the strongest in the Ninth District, you will not be able to withstand the joint attack of several powerful cities.

To put it simply, take the Soul Emperor for example. He's already number one on the power rankings in the first region, and possibly number one in all nine regions. No one can beat him in a one-on-one fight.

Even with such a powerful figure secretly building his own forces and recruiting other powerful individuals, he never publicly declared that he would become the biggest villain of the descent.

Lin Hanchuan never intended to be as cowardly as the Soul Emperor, but he never hid his ambition.

Of course, this is not just Lin Hanchuan's personal idea, but also the wish of all players in Wangyue City.

Who wouldn't want their city to become one of the most important cities in the entire region in the future?

Who wouldn't want to see others' envious, jealous, and hateful expressions as soon as they find out you're a player from Wangyue City?

But not everyone can say such a thing.

If an ordinary player says this out loud, it's a joke; others can just laugh it off.

But it was Lin Hanchuan who spoke now.

The strongest player in Wangyue City, the only player in the Ninth District to have achieved first-time clears of three Shura-level dungeons, the player who has killed the most NPCs and players in the Ninth District, and a guy suspected to be Night Owl.

When he said those words, it automatically acted as a "weathervane," stirring up the atmosphere at the scene.

"Okay, okay!! Brother Huang is right, from now on I'm your die-hard fan!!"

"Let the others in District 9 see how we, the players of Wangyue City, have transformed this remote fourth-tier city into one of the strongest cities in District 9."

"It's all thanks to Brother Huang's courage. We've all fantasized about saying this, but no one has ever dared to say it!"

"As expected of the man I value, even his words exude such domineering power!"

"Brother Huang, if you ever form a guild, I'll definitely join!"

Online game players are almost all passionate and competitive.

They look forward to fighting, and they look forward to growing.

Looking forward to the future!
in the crowd.

There were about a dozen people with indifferent expressions.

They were scattered in various corners, but none of them were far from Lin Hanchuan.

They appeared to be quiet and reserved, but in reality, they were already exchanging messages like crazy in the chat group.

[Killer Chat Group]

"Damn, this Arakawa White Owl is pretty good at creating a lively atmosphere. He got the hundreds of players watching cheering after just a few words."

"What do you think we should do if Arakawa Haku really thinks that way and will do it in the future?"

"We've prepared so much, and now we've reached a crucial moment. Are you going to give up? If you dare to give up now, don't blame me for confronting you in real life!"

"No, no! Boss, you misunderstood. I was just making a few remarks. What I was thinking was that if we hadn't killed Arakawa Shiro this time and brought him down from his pedestal, our situation in Mochizuki City would probably have been very difficult."

"We now have two more items, so there's no way we can fail this time. And once we kill him, we can do it a second time, a third time! Until we kill him so badly he quits the game!"

"If, I mean if, by any chance, the situation arises where the person wasn't killed."

"If such an extreme situation really occurs, what does it have to do with us? We were just hired by the madman to carry out this matter. If Arakawa Hakuo has to blame someone, he can only blame the madman."

"Aren't we supposed to join Madman's guild from now on?"

"Damn it! Are you a blockhead? Can't you be a fair-weather friend? Who would join his guild if there was no money? If you see that Madman's guild is going to decline and might not even be able to pay salaries in the future, would you still join? Are you an idiot?"

"Stop! Enough talk. Arakawa White Owl is leaving. Ali and Apo, go first and control them. The brothers behind, remember to cover the wounded. Arashiyama and I will be ready to deal with any emergencies from behind."

……

……

Lin Hanchuan didn't expect the reaction from everyone present to be so intense; several people almost rushed up to him, begging to join the Heavenly Dao Squad.

Fortunately, Cao Renjie immediately took out his shield and blocked the way, allowing Lin Hanchuan to lead Xingchen forward slowly.

Long Xiaochen seemed unaffected, with his hands behind his head, following beside Lin Hanchuan, and asked, "Captain, should we go to Wangyue City later, or continue with the dungeon?"

“Let’s keep running the dungeon!” Lin Hanchuan replied. “Isn’t there another dungeon nearby called [Dawn of the Night]? Let’s go try it out!”

Just then, a system notification sounded.

"Ding! Attention all players in Wangyue City! Congratulations to player 'Luoqiao' for achieving the first clear of the Shura-level challenge 'The Three Questions of the Dwarfs'!"

The entire Heavenly Path Squad paused slightly.

Cao Renjie exclaimed in surprise, "Someone actually managed to clear 'The Three Questions of the Dwarfs' on the Shura level for the first time! It seems there are some pretty good players in Wangyue City."

Long Xiaoyue, the only one in the team responsible for gathering intelligence, said softly, "The three questions of the dwarves are puzzle-related instances. They don't require much strength, but they do require a lot of intelligence."

"It's quite normal for one or two highly intelligent players to appear among the hundreds of thousands of players in Wangyue City!"

"By the way, the current clear record for the [Dawn of Light] dungeon has reached Nightmare difficulty. According to the information players are sharing in the public chat channel, this dungeon mainly drops gems!"

"A three-star gem dropped in Nightmare difficulty..."

As Long Xiaoyue was introducing the information about the upcoming "Dawn," her vision suddenly plunged into darkness without warning, and her body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, as if she had been subjected to a spell.

At this moment, she resembled a doll in the deepest darkness.

"Ding! You have been attacked by the curse [Puppet] released by player 'Surging Waves'. You have been deprived of your vision and movement for 30 seconds!"

"Please note that you have been attacked by player 'Surging Waves'. All your actions against him from now on are in self-defense!"

At this moment, all members of the Heavenly Path Squad, along with nearly a hundred players in the vicinity, received a system notification that they were under a curse.

Someone's coming to kill me!

The stars must not be harmed!

As Lin Hanchuan gazed into the darkness ahead, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately used [Pseudo-Free Agent].

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully used [Pseudo-Free Spirit] to be exempt from the curse [Puppet]!"

As the system notification sounded, light returned to the pupils, and freedom returned to the body.

Before he could even see everything clearly, Lin Hanchuan immediately cast an infinite barrier around himself.

Just as a transparent barrier completely enveloped his body, a dagger stabbed towards him from the right.

Cracks appeared on the barrier instantly.

The opponent's attack is quite strong.

They even activated several attack-boosting skills, all in the hopes of landing that one hit.

"Ding! Please note that you have been attacked by player 'Strong Enough to Lift a Cauldron'. All your actions against him from now on will be considered self-defense!"

As the system notification sounded, Lin Hanchuan abruptly turned his head to his right. There was a face as thin as a monkey, his eyes filled with disbelief, and the tip of the jet-black dagger in his hand was still touching the infinite barrier.

"you……"

Looking at Lin Hanchuan with such strength, he felt his soul tremble.

The A-grade curse scroll specially prepared for him was actually exempted, and he even had time to react and summon a defensive barrier to protect himself immediately.

These were props they had carefully prepared for Lin Hanchuan. Bang!

Lin Hanchuan raised his hand, and an explosive arrow pierced the opponent's chest, instantly killing him.

Without even glancing at the fallen corpse, Lin Hanchuan conjured another lightning whip in his hand and lashed it out at the player less than a meter away to his left, who was still holding a scroll.

boom! !

With a single lash of the whip, sparks and lightning flashed, and the opponent died instantly.

At this moment, the players within a seven or eight-meter radius of Lin Hanchuan stood motionless like puppets, their eyes vacant.

However, a few are still moving.

"Holy crap, the curse has been lifted!"

Upon seeing Lin Hanchuan kill two of his companions, they gasped in surprise and immediately retreated.

"Stop running! Charge!"

From behind the crowd, in a place unseen, came an angry voice.

Followed by.

A summoning gate appeared in the sky.

When Lin Hanchuan looked up, a fireball as big as the sun overhead emerged from the summoning gate and hurtled toward the ground with explosive speed, its target still being him.

Having recovered, Lin Hanchuan glanced at the stars and the players around him, then summoned the Holy Sword, wielded the Staff of Despair, and soared into the sky.

"It's really courting death!"

Lin Hanchuan heard the angry voice from the back of the crowd again, and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. At the very back of the crowd, there was a fat man holding an open scroll in his hand.

He was also looking at Lin Hanchuan.

It was just a mocking smile.

In his pupils, a giant fireball, gradually enlarging and supported by a long golden tail, hurtled towards the Arakawa White Owl, which had its back to him, like a shooting star.

If Arakawa Haku had chosen to dodge the moment the summoning gate appeared, he would still have had a chance to survive, but now...

They're definitely going to die!
Summon Meteor is a B-rank scroll skill.

Although it can only summon one large fireball.

However, its damage output is quite terrifying, starting at over 10,000!

It's simply not something any player at this stage can withstand.

What's more, it's the Arakawa White Owl, a mage!

boom! !

The anticipated collision did not occur as expected.

The enormous fireball, as big as a rockery, instantly engulfed Arakawa White Owl. The raging flames exploded in the sky, and even players on the ground, who were some distance away, could still feel the intense heat that burned their skin.

"It's done!"

The moment the fat man clenched his fist in celebration, his joy froze on his face, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and horror.

The enormous fireball that had been burning fiercely just moments before was erased from existence and vanished without a trace, as if it had touched some kind of taboo.

And Arakawa White Owl.

He stood atop the holy sword, gazing at himself, completely unharmed.

He didn't know what was happening. Using the scroll didn't release his own built-in skills, and the system wouldn't give any follow-up feedback after hitting the target.

This situation caused extreme panic in the fat man, and he immediately shouted loudly towards the crowd.

"hurry up!!"

"Use your last trump card!"

The sound fell.

Whoosh! !

An arrow shot out from the crowd with a loud bang, leaving Lin Hanchuan with no chance to dodge.

This is the third special item they prepared specifically to kill Arakawa White Owl—the Arrow That Always Hits!
laugh! !

The arrow struck Lin Hanchuan directly, piercing his abdomen.
-
2451!

A damage value of over two thousand immediately appeared on Lin Hanchuan's body, causing the fat man on the ground to breathe a sigh of relief.

It finally hit!
More than 2,400 damage.

Even fully armed tank players shouldn't have that much health at this stage.

Arakawa White Owl...

The fat man looked up at Lin Hanchuan, blinked, then blinked again. The figure of the man in his pupils remained firmly planted on the holy sword.

How the hell are you still alive?!

The fat man was scared!

I'm really scared!

Having played Descent for so long, I've never seen such a difficult mage to kill!
boom! !

As Arakawa Hakuyo waved his staff, he saw only an exploding arrow, which rapidly magnified in his pupils.

follow closely.

boom! !

In the last glimpse of death, the fat man's pupils were still trembling.

"Thirteen in total!"

Lin Hanchuan stood on the holy sword, quickly scanning the crowd and identifying thirteen targets.

After the explosive arrow killed him casually.

The staff swung continuously!

Boom boom boom! !

One after another, large fireballs accurately struck the targets who were trying to escape.

Not a single one survived!
A complete counterattack!

When Long Xiaochen and the others were freed from the curse, Lin Hanchuan had already joined the group, picked up Xingchen, and checked her for injuries.

"team leader……"

Long Xiaochen's expression was calm as ice. He was about to speak when Lin Hanchuan interrupted him.

"We were assassinated! It was a madman!"

"I originally intended to treat him like he was invisible and ignore him completely, but I didn't expect that he would not only fail to learn from his previous mistake, but now he has become even more outrageous."

Lin Hanchuan said in an icy voice.

"Having been attacked twice in a row, if I don't take some action, then it would be me, Arakawa White Owl, who would be cowardly!"

"Let's go! Enter the city!"

"Go to the Mercenary Guild and issue a bounty!"

"It's my turn to fight back!"

My original plan was to focus on clearing dungeons for the first time and then sell the revenue rights to quickly accumulate initial capital.

But the other party kept coming to our door.

There's really no need to spoil them anymore.

Even an ant should be crushed.

"I'll post a bounty in the chat channel!" Long Xiaochen said immediately.

"Yes, if we can find his coordinates, whether it's inside or outside the city, we'll go straight there and kill him!" Lin Hanchuan nodded.

For players, there are two types of bounties.

The first method is to offer a reward. In chat channels, forums, and other places, a reward is offered to a player, promising a certain amount of money after the task is completed. Generally, no one will accept large rewards because if the other party does not acknowledge the reward, the official authorities cannot do anything about it.

The second method is official bounties. Players can go to the Mercenary Guild to post bounty missions, provided that you have pre-stored the corresponding rewards in the system. After completing the mission, players only need to go directly to the Mercenary Guild to claim the bounty reward, without needing to communicate with the person who posted the bounty in any way.

The level of a bounty mission issued by the Mercenary Guild is not determined by the strength of the target, but by the value of the reward you offer for that bounty, which is then assessed by the system.

For an extra fee, you can also use the system to issue a city-wide, national, or regional reward notice.

Long Xiaochen chose the first option; whether it works out or not depends on fate.

Lin Hanchuan chose the second option, not only to ensure success but also to demonstrate his stance.

Madmen must die!
The Heavenly Path Squad marched straight forward, and the crowd in front of them quickly retreated to both sides, with no one daring to block their way.

Although there were nearly a hundred players around Lin Hanchuan and his group who were also affected by the Puppet Curse, the players who were further away could see the entire battle process of Lin Hanchuan clearly.

High-level area-of-effect curse + minimum B-rank summon meteor + 2500 damage per arrow

Every step is a certain death sentence.

But Lin Hanchuan not only easily survived, but also instantly killed all those who tried to assassinate him!

powerful!
too strong!
The fault is strong!

At this moment, those players who were still jealous of Lin Hanchuan's first clear of three dungeons also felt relieved.

They're not even in the same league.

What can we compare them to?!

[Wangyue City Public Chat Channel]

Long Xiaochen sent a message inside.

Kanglong Youhui: "10,000 gold coins. The Heavenly Dao Squad is offering a bounty on the current coordinates of the Madman. If any brothers know the location, please add me as a friend and send me a private message. I'm currently in the Endless Beast Tide dungeon, heading towards the Moon Gazing City Mercenary Guild. As long as I can find the Madman based on the coordinates you provide, I'll immediately receive 10,000 gold coins!"

In the current situation, it's difficult for ordinary players to even farm silver coins.

Long Xiaochen's announcement of a 10,000 gold coin bounty in the chat channel was undoubtedly like dropping a bombshell into a calm lake.

"Ten thousand gold coins for the coordinates of a madman, is that for real?"

"How did Madman and his group offend the Heavenly Dao Squad this time?"

"I was in the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon, and I personally witnessed more than a dozen players assassinating Arakawa White Owl. I just posted the video on the forum, and any brothers who are interested can go and take a look."

"It's blown! The Heavenly Path Squad has officially issued a challenge to Madman!"

"Haha, the madman's madness is about to crumble!"

"Hey front row, gotta grab some peanuts, sunflower seeds, and raisins! Anyone want some?"

The chat channel immediately became lively.

Previously, the Kuang Family Army had repeatedly provoked Huang Chuan Bai Xiao, and this time it can be considered the Tian Dao Squad's official response to the Kuang Family Army's provocation.

A reward of 10,000 gold coins is offered directly.

Only coordinates are needed.

The Heavenly Path Squad went straight to kill the Madman.

This might sound like giving Madman and his team time to prepare, but it also reflects the Heavenly Dao Squad's confidence in their own strength.

[Killer Squad Chat Group]

"It didn't work! That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! The server has only been open for a short time, how can a mage like Arakawa Shiro be this powerful? I don't know about anything else, but just his health is definitely higher than that of a regular tank!"

"Are we still playing the same game with Arakawa White Owl?"

"He's cheating! Arakawa White Owl is definitely cheating!"

"I've never seen anything so outrageous in my life!"

They couldn't figure it out.

Why can't Arakawa White Owl be killed?

"Something's wrong! The Heavenly Dao Squad's Regretful Dragon has placed a bounty on the Madman's coordinates in the chat channel!"

At this point, someone noticed the chat channel.

"how much is it?"

"Ten thousand gold coins!"

"Boss, does the chairman know about the failed assassination attempt?"

"I've already told him, but he hasn't replied yet. This is a big problem! The Heavenly Path Squad is on their way to the Mercenary Guild, and they're most likely going to issue a bounty!"

"Should we betray the guild leader? We won't get his 300,000 in cash, but if we can get 10,000 gold coins from the Heavenly Dao Team, that would be a huge profit!"

"Get lost! I'm so annoyed right now, I'm logging off, do whatever you want with me!"

……

……

On his way from Resurrection Square to the Mercenary Guild, Cao Renjie looked back.

Several people followed at a distance behind him.

"Boss, those guys have followed us!" Cao Renjie said helplessly to Lin Hanchuan.

"Ignore them!" Lin Hanchuan said nonchalantly. "They're just a few gossip magazine readers!"

Arrival is the world's most popular online game.

In reality, many industries related to him have emerged.

Among them are various gossip magazines and websites related to the arrival of an ancestor.

In order to attract attention, they will buy first-hand materials about events that occur during the arrival of the world at high prices.

Every player can become a reporter for a gossip magazine and contribute articles; as long as they are fresh and popular enough, the price won't be low.

Back in Zone 1, Lin Hanchuan often encountered some suspicious players. They weren't enemies; they were informants who had been paid by gossip magazines.

As a "famous figure in Wangyue City," Lin Hanchuan naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Especially his performance in the battle before the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon made the gossip magazine's informants smell money, and several of them followed him along the way.

Cao Renjie nodded, then looked at Long Xiaochen and asked, "How's the bounty progress on the public chat channel?"

“Several people have added me as a friend!” Long Xiaochen shook his head and said, “But the coordinates they provided are all different, so they must all be fake!”

Cao Renjie said with an air of certainty, "This is usually the case when you offer a bounty in the chat channel. Most people just want to join in the fun and fish in troubled waters. If they catch it, they make a profit; if they don't, they don't lose anything."

"Moreover, the number of players that Madman brought with him when he entered Wangyue City this time was quite large. Some of the people who replied to your message are definitely his people. They will give you fake coordinates to deliberately affect your judgment."

"Don't expect any positive feedback from the chat channel anymore. Just hand this over to the system later."

Long Xiaochen, the first person to place a bounty, sighed, closed the panel, and accepted reality.

The Mercenary Guild of Moongazing City is right next to the auction house.

It is a magnificent building with bronze Roman columns standing in an interlocking pattern on the outside, supporting a dome.

The Mercenary Guild has no gate; it is a completely open building. Lin Hanchuan walked up the eighteen steps in front of him, passing by various reliefs—a gladiator with a sword stepping on the corpse of a hydra, a griffin knight's cloak crackling with lightning, and broken spears and shields blooming into flame emblems in the cracks of the stone.

Stepping onto the stairs, Lin Hanchuan found himself in a spacious hall, where players and NPCs moved about.

The Mercenary Guild offers quests from NPCs in Moongazing City, so many players come here after completing their class change to find suitable quests, with a chance to trigger hidden quests.

The pretty NPC maid at the entrance immediately approached Lin Hanchuan upon seeing him, smiling and asking, "Foreigner, welcome to the Mercenary Guild. Would you like me to explain some basic information about the Mercenary Guild to you?"

The NPCs at the entrance usually serve as information guides for the mercenary guild.

Lin Hanchuan shook his head and said, "No need!"

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Even though she was refused, the maid's smile remained unchanged.

"I want to issue a bounty!" Lin Hanchuan stated his purpose directly.

"Okay, then please follow me!"

The maid led Lin Hanchuan and his entourage into the hall.

Directly in front of the Mercenary Guild's main hall, there is a transparent blue light screen, on which related tasks are constantly being updated.

Arranged from top to bottom and left to right according to task level.

These tasks usually have a time limit for completion.

Once a mission is taken away, it will disappear from the light screen.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at it.

The highest level mission is an A-level team mission.

"plz follow me!"

Following the maid through the crowd, we arrived at an office where a sprightly old man was sitting on a chair, his eyes fixed intently on the contents of a book.

He seemed oblivious to Lin Hanchuan's arrival, chuckling as he watched.

The maid reminded softly.

"Guild Master, someone wants to post a bounty mission!"

The old man pressed down with both hands, and the book instantly disappeared from his grasp. His previously somewhat lewd expression instantly became solemn and dignified. His gaze swept seriously over the members of the Heavenly Dao Squad, finally landing on Lin Hanchuan, and he asked, "Are you going to issue a bounty mission?"

"Yes!" Lin Hanchuan nodded.

The old man immediately opened the drawer, took out a form and a pen, and placed them on the table.

"Then fill out the form!"

Lin Hanchuan picked up the pen and filled in the form as required.

The old man looked at Lin Hanchuan, and as he looked, his gaze became strange. Suddenly, he asked, "Are you also a Berserker Grand Mage?"

"Hmm?" Lin Hanchuan paused, looking at the old man.

"That's what they asked."

"What's your relationship with Maurice?"

He is my teacher!

The old man suddenly lowered his voice and leaned closer.

Did he tell you about them?
