Chapter 129 Hiring (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader 20220427161247290)

With Qianwei gathering so many people, the observatory is practically guaranteed to be in the spotlight tomorrow.

If he goes into the dungeon with them, the Stars Guild members definitely won't attack him.

He could then follow behind the Star Guild, easily reach the Observatory Base, and dig up the treasure on that map.
Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, it will probably be discovered.

Thinking of this, Long Ming immediately dialed Xiao Pang's number.

buzz~
The call was quickly connected.

"What? Didn't we agree to get off work? I just lay down."

Little Fatty replied helplessly.

"Can you receive an invitation to the Watchtower Observatory instance?"

Long Ming didn't waste any words with the little fat boy and asked directly.

"The store doesn't sell observatory invitations; you can only buy them within the merchant group. But they're very expensive, costing around 500,000 1D coins each."

The chubby boy paused for a moment before replying.

"Buy me 5 tickets, I'll transfer the money to you when I log on later."

Long Ming planned to bring some men in, just in case.

"Brother, what's gotten into you again? The reason why the observatory invitation tickets are so expensive is mainly because those big guilds have driven them up. The cost-effectiveness of the tickets is extremely low."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

Long Ming was too lazy to explain to Little Fatty.

"Row!"

"Hurry up, it'd be best to send it to me today."

"Don't worry, it definitely won't delay your dungeon run."

Little Fatty solemnly assured him.

"Ah."

Long Ming immediately hung up the phone.

He opened WeChat and sent a message to Xiaoqi.

"Are you there?"

"Yes, Mr. Long Ming, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to hire you, Cloudfish, and Johnny to help me with the next dungeon."

"Oh, you're hiring us? We can only search, not fight?"

"Just search for things."

"Large or small laptop? Do you need a gaming pod?"

Xiao Qi replied immediately.

"need."

"That's three days. I can do that for free, excluding the cost of the game pod. As for Yunyu and Johnny, you'll have to give them some money, since they're not in good financial shape."

"Here's what we'll do: I'll give you 5000 mountain coins. You can use them as you see fit."

"Fine!"

"Okay, reserve 5 gaming pods for me."

Long Ming then spoke to Xiao Qi.

"Okay, I'll make the reservation for you now."

Xiaoqi replied readily.

"Thank you!"

Long Ming got up, walked to the bedside, picked up the helmet, put it on, and logged into the game.

Swish!
Long Ming reappeared in the City of Stars, opened the friends interface, and gave all the remaining 300 million+ One-Dimensional Coins to Little Fatty.

He then opened the add friend interface, entered Tang Yue's name, and sent a friend request.

"Notification: Added successfully!"

"Mr. Long Ming? You wanted to see me about something?"

Tang Yue immediately sent a message with delight.

"Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to hire you to run a large dungeon with me."

Long Ming extended an invitation to Tang Yue.

Although Xiao Qi and the others could also pick locks, Tang Yue was more skilled. Just in case, Long Ming decided to invite her to participate.

“Sure, my fee is 500 mountain coins per day.”

Tang Yue readily agreed.

"No problem, I'll give you 1000 mountain coins."

"Oh? Isn't this too much?"

"No, see you at the internet cafe at 7:30 tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

"Ah."

After giving his instructions, Long Ming logged off.

The next morning.

Long Ming arrived at the entrance of Star Wish Cafe.

Just then, Xiaoqi walked over with Yunyu and Johnny, greeting them with a big smile.

"Good morning, Long Ming!"

"Well, you're here."

"Let's go in."

"Wait, there's still one person who hasn't arrived," Long Ming said to Xiao Qi.

Who else did you invite?

Xiaoqi was also very curious.

At this moment, Tang Yue ran over breathlessly and said apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, it's still early."

Long Ming said to Tang Yue, who was a little nervous.

Xiao Qi glanced at Tang Yue and said to Long Ming with a resentful tone.

"Long Ming, you still say you have nothing to do with An Qing, but you've managed to win her over."

"No, we just needed a lock picker for the next mission, so we asked Tang Yue to come and help."

Long Ming explained awkwardly.

"Okay, Tang Yue's skills are indeed quite good."

Xiao Qi glanced at Tang Yue and said.

Tang Yue saw Xiao Qi looking at her and, somewhat frightened, hid behind Long Ming, given how bad the relationship was between the two groups.

"Alright, let's get on the plane."

Long Ming said to Xiao Qi.

"Well, let's go!"

Xiao Qi led Long Ming and the others towards the stairs.

They soon arrived at the sixth floor.

"Our private rooms are numbered 662-666. Long Ming, you should go to room 666."

Xiao Qi said to Long Ming.

"Row!"

Long Ming then walked towards room number 666.

Not long after, Long Ming appeared in the City of Stars.

He got dressed and sent the coordinates to Xiao Qi and the others using his wristband.

Soon, Xiaoqi and the others all gathered together.

"Everyone is here. This is the invitation."

Long Ming took out five invitations from his backpack and gave one to each of Xiao Qi and the others.

Xiao Qi and the others looked at the invitation in their hands and stared at Long Ming in astonishment.

"Observatory, you want to run this dungeon?"

"What is the problem?"

Long Ming asked with a smile.

"No, I'm a little confused. If you're going to do this, why not join a guild? Why are you paying so much money out of your own pocket?"

Xiaoqi was a little confused for a moment.

"There is a difference between running dungeons with a guild and doing it alone. You don't need to ask why; you'll understand later."

Long Ming didn't offer much explanation.

"Ok."

Xiao Qi saw that Long Ming said so.

Long Ming glanced at the time displayed on his bracelet and waited quietly.

Soon it was eight o'clock in the morning.

"Enter!"

Long Ming raised the invitation in his hand and activated it.

Seeing this, Xiaoqi and the others also raised their invitations to activate them.

shuh~
They instantly transformed into streaks of white light and disappeared, then landed on teleportation platform number 7.

Long Ming raised his wristband to check the information displayed.

Start Civilization: Guardian Observatory Base.

Civilization Level: 1

Number of people: 2631/10000.

Long Ming's eyelids twitched as he looked at the displayed numbers. These numbers were more exaggerated than last time, and they were still increasing.

However, he calmly incorporated Xiao Qi and the others into his team.

Wow, so many people!

Tang Yue exclaimed in shock.

This was the first time she had ever seen so many people in a dungeon.

At this moment, Yunyu said in astonishment.

"Long Ming, Seventh Sister, look! Isn't that Lord Qianwei and President Luo Xue?"

Long Ming and Xiao Qi looked up.

Qianwei and Luoxue met in the distance.

"Sister Luoxue, what brings you here too?"

Qianwei greeted him with a smile and polite pleasantries.

"I just came in to take advantage of your presence. With so many people you brought this time, it seems the other two major guilds will probably abandon this operation."

Luo Xue looked around but didn't see anyone from the Sinful Abyss Guild or the Star God Guild; there were only groups of casual players.
