Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 163 Oh, the Sun (9.2K)

For Cao Renjie, a pure tank player, the speedrun time for the Shura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon is still a bit long.

Lin Hanchuan spent more than half an hour refreshing the panel outside before Cao Renjie finally came out of the dungeon.

The records on the recording stone are updated synchronously.

Third Place: Bloodthirsty Demon Slayer

Difficulty: Asura level
Time: 35 minutes and 12 seconds

Long Xiaochen glanced at the record, but instead of mocking him, he asked curiously, "Old Cao, how does it feel?"

"Gua Sha!" Cao Renjie said with a bitter face. When he entered the Shura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon, the two-faced demon plant was only at the general level, but its health and defense were still there. He was a tank, so he couldn't damage the two-faced demon plant, and the two-faced demon plant couldn't damage him either.

The two, one human and one strange, were scraping each other's skin inside the cave.

Fortunately, I won in the end.

Cao Renjie was quite satisfied with his 35-minute completion time.

If other players don't have a shortcut and just grind the Shura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon step by step, then basically no one will be able to break their own record for a long time.

Cao Renjie returned the Realm Teleportation Token to Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan turned to Long Xiaoyue and asked, "Xiaoyue, would you like to try it?"

"No need! I don't have any purely offensive songs." Long Xiaoyue immediately shook her head and refused. Her current role in the team is a crowd control support, and all the songs she chooses are control-oriented and supportive, without any purely offensive skills.

Without the help of teammates, she would most likely die if she tried to enter the Shura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon alone.

Lin Hanchuan reminded him, "Next time you can make a purely offensive song to increase your attack output. You can use it to protect yourself in critical moments."

If the musician plays a pure damage-dealing role...

It's also very powerful.

A musical genius like Long Xiaoyue can develop into an all-around musician.

“Yes, Captain!” Long Xiaoyue nodded immediately.

"Boss, are we going to farm the map boss at Green Light Lake next?" Cao Renjie asked.

Starting from when Lin Hanchuan went online, the Heavenly Path Team has spent almost a day on the two dungeons, [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession].

Everything that was due has been taken.

The next target is naturally the map boss of Greenlight Lake!

That big fish!
Lin Hanchuan looked at the message Mo Lingyun sent on the panel and said, "We'll talk about the map boss later. Old Mo sent me a message saying that the goblin dwarves have arrived at the entrance of the crystal mine and are now waiting for me to grant them access."

"The other raw materials for the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster Set are ready; all that's missing is the crystal stone before we can start manufacturing it."

Compared to the Green Light Lake map boss, what's more important to Lin Hanchuan right now is the Silver-level Water Bear Monster set.

According to Mo Lingyun, after he invested 100,000 gold coins as start-up capital, Roger acted quickly and obtained a large amount of raw materials within a day.

The factory workers are all in place.

The entire weapons factory is now just waiting for the crystals to arrive so they can immediately begin producing the Silver-grade Water Bear Monster armor set.

Lin Hanchuan certainly wouldn't hold anyone back.

The advertisement for the Water Bear Monster Set has already been released, and it's not just the entire Moon Gazing City that's eagerly awaiting it; even plant-wielding players from other regions are looking forward to it.

Lin Hanchuan also hoped to use the Water Bear Monster Set to earn his first business investment wealth in the Ninth District.

Lin Hanchuan then added, "Come back to Wangyue City with me later, and I'll see if I can help you get the resources for the second-tier advancement."

"If I'm still busy then, you guys can go wherever you want and come to Greenlight Lake to get the first kill of the map boss."

Unlike his own busy schedule, Long Xiaochen and the others had more free time, and Lin Hanchuan couldn't keep them by his side all the time.

I wouldn't do that kind of thing.

“That works too!” Cao Renjie had no objections.

Since Lin Hanchuan wants to develop his power, he will definitely have to travel back and forth, and he can't spend all his time grinding monsters and running dungeons.

What they can do right now is to improve their combat capabilities as much as possible so that they can be of help when it matters most.

Moreover, I am indeed very busy right now.

He has to juggle business and power.

You also need to maintain good relationships with those NPCs.

Cao Renjie was somewhat impressed by Lin Hanchuan's efficiency; once he decided to establish a power base, he could immediately devote himself to it wholeheartedly.

This is the kind of person who acts on their word.

It's really rare to see that.

"Captain, how about this!" Long Xiaochen pondered, "You go up first, and we'll continue exploring the bottom of Green Light Lake for a while longer, at least until we figure out the name of the ruins before we leave!"

I've been here for so long.

Due to insufficient exploration of the ruins, they have not yet obtained a name for them.

Lin Hanchuan: "No problem!"

On his way back through the passage, Lin Hanchuan opened his personal panel and sent Mo Lingyun the walkthrough videos for the two dungeons, 【Demon Plant World】 and 【Demon Plant Master's Obsession】.

Lin Hanchuan: "[Demon Plant World Shura Level Clear Video], [Demon Plant Master's Obsession Clear Video], in the strategy team chat group, first find a few players with good strength, and after the Water Bear Monster Set from the Weapon Factory comes out, immediately organize them to run the two dungeons at the bottom of Green Light Lake."

Lin Hanchuan – “Finish the strategy as soon as possible!”

"I was just about to tell you this. The information Long Xiaochen revealed in the group has excited all the plant master players in various regions. Many have already come to Wangyue City to create alt accounts. In another day or two, plant master players will gradually start entering the city!" — Mo Lingyun
"Currently, quite a few people have been relaying to me through players in the group that they want to buy the Hidden Class Scroll for the Demon Plant Master and Demon Plant Seeds. I think we can totally form a team in the strategy team chat group to farm resources in the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeons, seize the opportunity, and make some money off those rich guys and girls." — As Mo Lingyun sent the message, the group chat private message notification sound was still ringing continuously.

Most of the players in the strategy team are veteran players from various regions. We don't know how good they are in their original regions, but their connections are top-notch.

They were commissioned by players of the Demon Plant Master class from various regions to order the hidden Demon Plant Master class and Demon Plant seeds from Mo Lingyun in advance.

At first, Mo Lingyun was still very angry.

What kind of person do these people take him for!
The dignified leader of the strategy team has actually become a middleman selling resources to the studio.

But after seeing the quotes these people offered...

Mo Lingyun felt that there was nothing wrong with being a middleman.

But he couldn't make a decision on this.

We should ask Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan had experienced the wealth of plant master players before, so he had no objection to Mo Lingyun's suggestion: "You can decide what to do, but we'll need to sign an agreement with the selected player later."

"Then I'll send you the list in a bit!" — Mo Lingyun, as the captain of the strategy team, was very responsible and dedicated. During this period, he made a point of getting to know all the players who joined the strategy team.

It was compiled into a document, mainly recording profession, level, combat power, etc.

The purpose is to be able to pull out a team from within anytime, anywhere to run a dungeon.

The resources for farming the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeons were the same this time; he only needed to flip through the documents to quickly locate the team members' list.

Lin Hanchuan: "No need. I'll return to the weapons factory as soon as the goblin dwarves enter the crystal mine!"

Lin Hanchuan still has a blueprint for the Water Bear Monster set, which he needs to send over.

If there's anything, you can talk to Mo Lingyun face-to-face later.

Lin Hanchuan – “Has the escort team arrived?”

"We set off a while ago, we should be arriving soon!" — Mo Lingyun
Lin Hanchuan – “Okay!”

Close the panel.

After saying goodbye to Long Xiaochen and the others, Lin Hanchuan left the bottom of Green Light Lake alone.

We left Green Light Lake.

It was only a short time before dawn, and the sunlight shone like gold foil on the emerald lake surface.

This large lake, nestled in the embrace of the mountains, is like a jade mirror left behind by a goddess. When the water ripples, it shimmers with tiny silver scales, echoing the clouds atop the distant mountain peaks.

The verdant mountains, like an ink-black screen, are reflected in the clear blue lake, creating varying shades of indigo. A gentle breeze blows, and the water's surface shatters the entire ink-wash scroll.

Lin Hanchuan, dressed in a silver-grade Water Bear Monster suit, stepped out of the ink painting, attracting frequent glances from the players on the shore.

"It's Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao is here! He finally released the Green Light Lake map!"

"Holy crap, he's so handsome! I want a twenty-ninth boyfriend now."

"If I have money in the future, I want to buy a tardigrade outfit. It looks really cool on me! It's like being at the forefront of fashion."

"You're overthinking it. Handsome people look good in anything, and vice versa. Clothes can only enhance your appearance, not save you from hardship."

"The strongest man in Wangyue City!"

Lin Hanchuan made quite a commotion at the bottom of Green Light Lake.

The large number of players currently gathered at the Green Lake map are mostly there to join in the fun; they want to see for themselves what the map where the Plant Master dungeon is located looks like.

Following trends and joining in the fun exists at any time.

Especially with the global popularity of online games, as long as you seize a trending event, go to the scene to take some videos and photos, add some text, and post them online, they can easily become a hit.

Especially now, many players are paying attention to the news about the Demon Plant Master resource dungeon in Wangyue City. They take some videos, post them on short video accounts, and the likes, comments, and reposts are increasing rapidly.

Of course, if we were to add the strongest man in the Ninth District—Arakawa Haku—into the mix now.

It would be hard not to become popular then.

As the players around him were filming Lin Hanchuan from a first-person perspective using the system's built-in video caching function, some players couldn't help but shout at him.

"Brother Xiao, when are you going to release the walkthroughs for the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeons?!"

Lin Hanchuan looked over and replied, "I've already sent the walkthrough videos for both dungeons to the leader of the Wangyue City strategy team. He's processing the videos now! Once the Water Bear Monster set is finished, we'll immediately organize our team to enter [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] to complete the strategy."

"I know everyone is very interested in these two dungeons right now. Don't worry, I will release the guide for free as soon as it is completed."

Taking advantage of the large crowd, Lin Hanchuan seized the opportunity to advertise the Water Bear Monster outfit and, incidentally, cultivate good relationships.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hanchuan actually answered the questions seriously.

Therefore, as soon as Lin Hanchuan finished answering, another player threw out a question.

"Could you tell me about the specific resources in the two dungeons, [The Demon Plant Master's Obsession] and [The Demon Plant World]?"

Lin Hanchuan took two steps forward, thought for a moment, and then stopped. He said, "My teammates have already mentioned in the strategy team chat group that the [Demon Plant World] dungeon mainly produces demon plant seeds, and the quality is quite good. At least the ones I've farmed are all at least three-star demon plant seeds."

"The '[Plant Master's Obsession]' dungeon may yield the hidden Plant Master class. As for the class level I obtained, I've already sold the job change scroll. Please allow me to keep the seller's identity confidential. Besides the hidden class, there's also a possibility of obtaining already cultivated plant monsters, around level 20 or 30. I saw them in the dungeon, but I didn't acquire them. It might require triggering special events to obtain them."

"Alright, that's enough for now!"

Lin Hanchuan raised his hand, signaling the others not to ask any more questions, but before leaving, he made a point of advertising the pre-sale of the Water Bear Monster Set.

"I'm heading to the Water Bear Territory now. Friends from there should know that goblins and dwarves have appeared there. They will be mining crystals for the weapon factory. Once the crystals are mined and escorted to the weapon factory by the city guards, the Water Bear Armor will immediately begin production."

"The Silver-tier Water Bear Monster Set will be available to everyone soon."

After saying that, Lin Hanchuan didn't linger.

Lift your feet and walk.

Although the surrounding players were still throwing out questions, no one dared to stand in Lin Hanchuan's way.

After all, killing players is an issue...
Lin Hanchuan is truly capable of doing such a thing.

Moreover, once he sets his sights on you, you're likely to be killed until your account is deleted and you're forced to leave Wangyue City, leaving you no chance to gain any traffic.

Leaving the crowd, followed by a large group of people, Lin Hanchuan arrived at the territory of the water bear monster.

The current territory of the Water Bear Monster is still occupied by the two teams that Lao Mo pulled out from the raid team, and they have always been the ones who kill the Water Bear Monster BOSS.

However, they were very unlucky. The drop rate of the Water Bear Set pieces was extremely low. Even now, they have only managed to collect half of the Water Bear Set.

They were quite self-aware; upon seeing Lin Hanchuan approach, they immediately came to greet him.

"Brother Xiao!"

"Brother Xiao, you're here!"

The strategy team was formed at Lin Hanchuan's call, and the players in the team had long since voluntarily accepted Lin Hanchuan as their leader.

When the boss arrived, everyone greeted him familiarly and then stood behind Lin Hanchuan.

Surrounded by the top five players on various professional rankings, Lin Hanchuan entered the Water Bear Monster's territory and headed towards the entrance of the Crystal Mine.

There was a bald NPC talking to a rather robust middle-aged goblin dwarf. Behind the middle-aged goblin dwarf were nearly a hundred goblin dwarves, a few of whom were middle-aged, but most of them looked like young men. Many of them were sallow and thin, but they all looked very excited.

They haven't left the Radiant Forest for a long time to work for humans mining ore.

Lin Hanchuan approached and overheard their conversation.

“Elder Mo, didn’t I already tell you? Our weapons factory has been sold to a very wealthy foreign owner. The price the workers pay for mining ore isn’t set by me, nor by our factory manager; it’s decided by that foreign owner!”

“Rosen, you’ve seen the situation of my tribe. We can’t even guarantee one meal a day anymore. Many of our people have died in the past two months. I must bring back enough food this time.”

“I deeply sympathize with the plight of the goblin dwarves, but to be honest, I’m just an employee and have no decision-making power whatsoever. At most, I can only ask the big boss to keep the previous price for you, one silver coin per person per day! But if the big boss shakes his head, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Mr. Rosen, your words are enough…” The goblin dwarf was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed Lin Hanchuan slowly walking towards them. Seeing the large group of foreigners following behind him, he nervously reminded Rosen.

"It seems that sir has arrived!"

Rosen turned around.

I spotted Lin Hanchuan at a glance.

"Boss!!" Rosen shouted immediately.

Although it was the first time seeing Lin Hanchuan, the factory manager's description of his appearance was exactly the same, not to mention the large number of foreigners following behind him.

It's almost 100% certain that it can be locked in.

This young foreigner was the big boss behind the weapons factory.

"Have you been waiting long?" Lin Hanchuan asked with a smile.

Rosen quickly shook his head and said, "No, no! We just arrived not long ago!"

Immediately afterwards, he introduced the middle-aged goblin dwarf beside him to Lin Hanchuan, "Boss, this is Mord, an elder of the goblin dwarf clan in Radiant Forest. Their chieftain heard that you wanted to hire them to mine here and took it very seriously, so he immediately sent Elder Mord to lead the best miners in the clan over."

"Hello, I am Arakawa Shirakatsu!" Lin Hanchuan extended his hand to Elder Mo with a gentle expression.

Mo looked at Lin Hanchuan's outstretched fair hand, then glanced down at his own rough, black hands, which resembled tree bark. He quickly rubbed them against the inside of his clothes before extending his hand and shaking hands with Lin Hanchuan with a stiff expression. "Hello! I am an elder of the goblin dwarf clan of the Radiant Forest! You can call me Mo."

On the way here.

Rosen described this unknown boss in detail.

An extremely wealthy foreigner. He plans to develop his career in Moongazing City.

He will become the most powerful person in Wangyue City.

Even the city lord has to show him respect.

It was impossible to tell how much of it was true and how much was false; it was all based on Rosen's word, and he accepted it all.

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Hanchuan had left a very deep mark on his heart.

Even before he met Lin Hanchuan, this elder of the goblin dwarf race was already filled with fear of him.

She was afraid that she might do something inappropriate and leave a bad impression on this foreign boss who would become the most powerful man in Wangyue City.

"Elder Mo!" Lin Hanchuan, unaware of these things, simply assumed that goblin dwarves were naturally reserved. He withdrew his hand and said, "I heard everything you were talking about!"

"Huh!? Ahhh!!" Mo's mind went blank for a moment. If he heard what was just said, then he must know about the current predicament of the goblin dwarves.

If he tries to lower the price next, what should he do?
Humans love to take advantage of others when they are in distress.

But he seemed unable to refuse!

The goblin dwarves relied on this mining team to bring back food.

"How many miners did you bring?" Lin Hanchuan asked, looking at the goblin dwarves behind Morde.

Under Lin Hanchuan's gaze, the goblin dwarves subconsciously avoided eye contact, not out of guilt, but because it was the first time they had seen such an important human figure, and they were a little timid.

“103!” Elder Mo replied with a sigh of relief.

He has brought over all the tribe members who still have the strength to mine.

103, including him.

"Two hundred gold coins a day, how about that?" As Lin Hanchuan spoke, he took out a large bag of gold coins and placed it in front of Elder Mo. "This is the advance payment, about three thousand gold coins, to hire you to mine here in the crystal mine for half a month!"

"This...this...this!!" This time, not only did Mo's mind go blank, but even Rosen's mind went blank.

Has my foreign boss become this rich?

Not only did they not try to negotiate the price, they also doubled the quote. Before we even started, they had already handed over 3000 gold coins.

This kind of extravagance was something he had never seen before in all his years in Wangyue City.

"Thank you, boss!!" Elder Mo finally came to his senses, almost moved to tears with gratitude. "We will definitely help with the crystal mining this time!"

Mo's voice had barely faded when...

The system voice rang in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Please note that your generosity has inspired the gratitude of the goblin dwarves, who have decided to double their efforts in the upcoming ore mining, increasing crystal ore mining efficiency by 50%!"

This is what I've been waiting for.

The NPC workers who arrive are sentient beings; their emotional impulses can increase their work efficiency.

Playing the emotional card is difficult, but Lin Hanchuan can throw money at it.

Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems.

Spending 3,000 gold coins increased the goblin dwarves' mining efficiency by 50%, a huge profit.

"Don't mention it, this is what you deserve. I'll give you extra gold coins as a reward after the mining is finished," Lin Hanchuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you!!" Elder Mo thanked him repeatedly. Lin Hanchuan's gold coins were a godsend for them.

It can directly solve most of the problems currently facing the goblin dwarves.

The dwarves in other places also looked at Lin Hanchuan with tears in their eyes.

He is the sun of the goblin dwarves!
Out of gratitude, Lin Hanchuan granted each of them access to the mine and led them into the crystal mine. From now on, these goblin dwarves would work themselves to the bone to mine for him, still grateful.

After leaving the crystal mine.

Rosen suddenly asked Lin Hanchuan a question, "Mr. Arakawa Shiro, aren't you afraid that they'll take your money and go straight back to Radiant Forest with so many gold coins you've given them?"

Listening to the clanging sounds coming from inside the mine, Lin Hanchuan looked at Rosen and said, "If they do that, then the goblin dwarves will never exist in the Radiant Forest again!"

Lin Hanchuan spoke lightly, but to Rosen, his very soul trembled instantly.

He could tell that Lin Hanchuan wasn't joking; he genuinely thought so and would actually do it.

For the first time, Rosen realized that this young man, who always wore a gentle expression, was actually a tiger in sheep's clothing.

Standing at the entrance of the crystal mine, Lin Hanchuan said to Rosen, "Rosen, I heard from Factory Director Roger that in addition to being the deputy director of our weapons factory, you are also involved in the slave trade and frequently visit the Radiant Forest."

"My main job is as deputy factory manager; I only do slave trading occasionally," Rosen quickly stated. "From now on, I will focus all my attention on the weapons factory."

He couldn't quite figure out Lin Hanchuan, so when faced with problems, he could only try to put himself in a positive light.

Try not to leave a bad impression on Lin Hanchuan.

"Don't be nervous!" Lin Hanchuan could tell that Rosen was scared, so he tried his best to make his expression kind and friendly, and put on a smile. "I just want to ask you some questions!"

Lin Hanchuan's smile frightened Rosen. He tried hard to recall if any of the slaves he had sold during this period had any connection with foreigners. "Ask away, I will tell you everything I know without reservation."

"Are you familiar with all the races in the Radiant Forest?" Lin Hanchuan asked directly.

Rosen nodded quickly, "I understand."

"Could you elaborate?" Lin Hanchuan pressed.

He had previously discussed matters concerning the various races in the Radiant Forest with Factory Manager Roger at the weapons factory.

However, these were all basic answers, and Roger had only heard them from other people.

He knows far less than Rosen, who has been constantly entering and leaving the Radiant Forest.

Ever since he learned about this deputy factory director, Lin Hanchuan had been trying to learn more about Glorious Forest from him.

Having finally encountered this opportunity, Lin Hanchuan naturally wouldn't let it slip by.

Rosen didn't know where to begin. "There aren't many races in the Radiant Forest, but they have a lot to say about them. Where do I even begin?"

"How about we start with the goblins and dwarves? Take your time, there's no rush, I have plenty of time," Lin Hanchuan said softly.

The escort team composed of city guards has not yet arrived.

He could obtain intelligence about the Radiant Forest from Rosen while waiting for the escort team.

The escort team needs to enter the crystal mine to transport the ore mined by the goblins and dwarves all the way to the weapons factory. Lin Hanchuan needs to grant them access to the crystal mine.

“Goblin dwarves…” Rosen began.

Lin Hanchuan listened quietly from the side, occasionally asking a question or two.

After listening to the stories of the various races in the Radiant Forest, Lin Hanchuan asked again, "Do you know about the distribution of various mineral resources within the Radiant Forest?"

"Huh?!" Rosen looked at Lin Hanchuan, his eyes showing confusion, before he suddenly realized what was going on.

He had been wondering why Arakawa Shirakatsu was asking so many questions about the various races in the Radiant Forest.

Now he understands.

Arakawa Haku is eyeing those mineral resources.

They spent a huge sum of money to buy a weapons factory.

Now that they've learned about the situations of various races in advance, they're probably analyzing how much they would have to pay if they were to seize mineral resources from them using forceful means.

Who knows, Arakawa White Owl might even want to seize their mineral resources and then sell all the people of those races into slavery.

This business is huge!

Most people wouldn't even dare to think about it.

They truly are foreigners.

This level of vision is something I, a small vendor, could never reach in my entire life.

"Are you after those mineral resources?" Rosen asked Lin Hanchuan in a low voice.

Lin Hanchuan's expression was firm: "Yes!"

He wanted to reach an agreement with the races within the Radiant Forest to trade minerals and see if there was an opportunity to monopolize the mineral resources in Moonrise City, preventing other forces from mass-producing weapons.

"I understand most of it!" Rosen, who was very perceptive, nodded quickly and said, "In fact, besides selling slaves, I also frequently traded mineral resources with them. Some of the ore used in the weapons factory was purchased from those races."

"To be honest, Mr. Arakawa Hakukatsu, I've been eyeing those mineral resources for a long time. You see, I even prepared a map."

Rosen had already come to regard Lin Hanchuan as one of his own, and couldn't wait to take out a map from his spatial ring and hand it to Lin Hanchuan.

"Look, I've been preparing this map for over ten years. It marks the locations of all the mineral resources under the various races in the Radiant Forest."

"Besides, I also have some insiders who are willing to act as informants."

Rosen has already regarded Lin Hanchuan as a close friend.

Even though he had completed the creation of a map showing the distribution of mineral resources among the various races in the Radiant Forest, he never dared to mention it to anyone else, much less put it into action.

To put it bluntly, he was a slave owner.

He couldn't handle any of the races in the Radiant Forest.

But Lin Hanchuan is different!
Rich and prestigious!

Moreover, the fact that he is asking about this now shows that he has already made the necessary preparations.

Lin Hanchuan took the map, opened it, and glanced at it.

[Mineral Resource Distribution within Glorious Forest (Simplified Map)]

The map is hand-drawn.

In many places, the lines are not clear; some are thick, some are thin, and some are even broken or blurry.

However, the coordinates of some mineral resources are marked very clearly.

In addition to mineral resources, Lin Hanchuan also unexpectedly discovered some medicinal plant cultivation areas on the map.

The races in the Radiant Forest not only sell mineral resources to the humans of Moongazing City, but also sell some medicinal plants.

These medicinal plants are not usually harvested wild in the forest, but are instead cultivated in large quantities and sold to the Magical Potion Guild in Moongazing City.

Chatted for a while.

Lin Hanchuan and Luo Sen were very compatible.

Lin Hanchuan thought Rosen was generous, providing everything unconditionally, including maps.

Rosen believed that Lin Hanchuan was a kindred spirit, and that by following him, he could realize his dreams.

I learned from the conversation that Rosen has good connections in Moon Gazing City and can get things that can't be bought through normal channels.

"There are some things I need you to get for me," Lin Hanchuan said to Rosen, engaging in a deeper conversation. "Gold coins are no problem, as long as you can get them!"

Still unsure what Lin Hanchuan wanted him to do, Rosen patted his chest and assured him, "Boss, don't worry, I'll do my best!"

Upon receiving this message, Lin Hanchuan immediately sent a message in the Heavenly Dao Squad chat group.

Lin Hanchuan: "Send me the list of resources you need to advance to the second job advancement. I've met an NPC who sells goods; let's see if he can help you get them!"

Although most of the resources that Long Xiaochen and his group acquired for their second job advancement could be obtained from the market.

However, collecting all the items one by one would take a lot of time, so it's better to leave it to professionals like Lawson.

Saves money and effort.

Long Xiaochen: "[Image] This is my resource list, thank you captain!"

Cao Renjie: "[Image], thank you, boss!"

Long Xiaoyue: "[Image] Thank you, Captain!"

Lin Hanchuan: "I will have him collect as much as possible. I can only guarantee that he can get most of the resources, not that he can collect them all."

The resource list provided by Long Xiaochen and his team included several items whose names alone suggested they wouldn't be easy to obtain.

Lin Hanchuan naturally couldn't guarantee it.

Long Xiaochen: "It's alright, it's alright. Collecting most of them is enough."

Long Xiaoyue: "Collect as much as you can! At least doing so will save us a lot of time."

Cao Renjie: "Me too!"

Lin Hanchuan: "You can decide what to do next yourself! I will notify you as soon as the resource collection is finished."

Long Xiaochen: "Okay, Captain! Next, we plan to explore this ruin. Currently, the exploration progress is only 45%, and we still need 15% before the system will give the ruin a name."

Cao Renjie: "Boss, I'm waiting for your good news!"

After ending the chat, Lin Hanchuan looked at the resource list on the panel and read it aloud to Rosen.

Rosen quickly jotted it down with a pen.

"One two-star black iron stone, five drops of lotus liquid..."

When Rosen heard the names of the resources Lin Hanchuan mentioned, he looked at him strangely. Most of these things were not difficult to collect, but rather too easy to collect.

You can collect at least a third of them by going to any general store.

However, there were one or two items whose names even Rosen himself had never heard of.

After Lin Hanchuan finished speaking.

Rosen immediately handed the resource list he had written down to Lin Hanchuan and said, "Boss, look at these resources I wrote down, are they correct?"

Lin Hanchuan checked the resource list provided by Long Xiaochen and the others, corrected two errors, and then looked at Rosen, asking directly, "Was it difficult to collect all the information on this list within a day?"

Rosen felt that Lin Hanchuan was testing him, so he hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded very seriously and said, "Although there are two items here with names I have never heard of before, don't worry, I will do my best to collect them all within a day."

Lin Hanchuan took out a large bag of gold coins. "There are two thousand gold coins here. Take them and use them first. If you need more, just let me know."

“Okay!” Rosen did not refuse, not because he did not want to, but because he really did not have much money. Although he had sold slaves in the past few months, they were very cheap, and the money he earned was barely enough to support his family.

The remaining money was simply not enough for him to maintain a lavish facade in front of Lin Hanchuan.

Then they started talking about things inside Wangyue City.

Until the escort team arrived.

Lin Hanchuan then stopped chatting.

Rosen left to busy himself with collecting the resources on the list.

After granting each member of the escort team access to the crystal mine, Lin Hanchuan returned directly to Wangyue City.
