Master Changsheng

Chapter 64, Section 063: Departure and the Bounty

"361 gold coins, so poor?"

"Two plaques on the third floor of the bounty tower..."

"Two sets of job change scrolls."

"That's it?!"

Ankai emptied all the items from the storage rings of the two baits.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Hanks was somewhat unfriendly…

[Second-Tier Assassin Class 'Assassin' One-Time Class Change Scroll]

[Second-Tier Class Knight 'Light Knight' One-Time Class Change Scroll]

The system displayed the name of the reel.

"You old fool, you'd better give me an explanation!"

After all that effort, he only got 361 gold coins and two scrolls that he couldn't use.

An Kai was somewhat displeased.

He didn't know the value of the scroll, and at this time, he couldn't and wouldn't return to Chaos City to sell it...

"Uh... the auction price for these two job change scrolls together is 2000 gold coins."

"These are the most valuable items. I personally witnessed them being acquired through a huge auction."

Hanks chuckled, a look of pride on his face. He had his own reasons for choosing the right bait.

Upon hearing that the two scrolls were worth 2000 gold coins, Ankai's eyes lit up...

"I knew it! Hanks, you couldn't possibly be wrong about me again!"

After Ankai finished speaking, he sensed the scrolls and, confirming that he couldn't use them, pushed the two scrolls in front of him toward Hanks...

The meaning is self-evident.

To everyone's surprise, Hanks seemed to have suddenly taken control of the game. Calm and collected, he picked up the two reels, examined them briefly, and said softly, "1200, will you sell?"

bass!

Upon hearing the price, Ankai suddenly drew his [Brute Force Staff], as if he were about to smash Hanks to death.

"Old man! I'm giving you a chance, you'd better think carefully before you name your price!"

"Young man, don't be so hot-tempered. It's not good to start a fight over a mere disagreement..." Hanks smiled and took a step back, gently pressing down on the large, dark brown iron rod that was pointing at his forehead...

"This price of 1200 isn't me trying to rip you off. Ankai, we've known each other for so many years, would I cheat you?"

When Ankai heard Hanks' explanation, he remained silent, but then raised the [Strength Staff] again and pointed it at Hanks' forehead, expressing his attitude through action.

"Ugh! The bounty auction house is utterly despicable!"

"When they saw that these two unlucky guys wanted the two job change scrolls, they had their own people inflate the price, eventually raising the value of something worth around 1100 gold coins to 2000 gold coins..."

As Hanks got to this point, he shook his head and sighed repeatedly, as if he were truly lamenting that the two had wasted money.

Hanks believes he's a good actor, and there's nothing Ankai can do about it.

After all, both of them are now preparing to run away.

Ankai would not return to Chaos City to inquire about the prices of these two items.

Therefore, Hanks believes he has it in the bag this time!

An Kai stood still and suddenly chuckled softly.

He put away the [Brute Force Staff]...

"Hey! Ankai, how about this, for the sake of our friendship, I'll give you another 50 gold coins!"

When Hanks saw Ankai, he seemed to have given in, so he gritted his teeth and pretended to make a very painful decision.

"No need, we have no connection."

To everyone's surprise, An Kai didn't even look up. He squatted down and put away the plaque on the third floor of the inner city's bounty tower, as well as the two scrolls...

Pick out 49 gold coins from the pile and put them away.

The remaining 312 gold coins were pushed in front of Hanks.

"The scroll is worth 1200 gold coins. You currently have 361 gold coins. You take 20%, I take 80%, so you get 312 gold coins. Is that correct?"

When Hanks saw that Ankai had finished distributing the goods fairly and justly, he was dumbfounded, feeling as if he had shot himself in the foot.

He had foreseen everything, except that Ankai wouldn't make a deal with him...

Standing there, Hanks stammered, "No...no trade?"

An Kai chuckled lightly: "No, I suddenly remembered that I have two distant cousins, one an assassin and the other a knight. I'll give these two to them."

The seemingly false excuse prevented Hanks from pressing the matter further…

"Good...good...Ankai kid...you really are kind..." Hanks' face twitched as he finished speaking in fits and starts.

After collecting the 361 gold coins, Hanks had a lot to say, but seeing Ankai's ambiguous smile, he couldn't utter a word...

2000 gold coins is indeed an inflated price, but it's not as outrageous as Hanks said. Two job advancements can still easily be sold for 1500 gold coins in Chaos City.

Hanks didn't even need to think about it; even if he offered 1500 or 1600 gold coins to buy the scroll right now, Ankai wouldn't agree.

Of course, he wouldn't offer such a high price.

"Hanks, will you ever come to Chaos City again?"

As Ankai packed his things and prepared to leave, he asked Hanks, who was standing there.

With the exchange rate for gold coins and magic stones so low, it would be a loss for Ankai if they didn't interact in the future.

He was waiting to finish his seclusion, sell the scrolls, and then trade the Philosopher's Stone with Hanks...

The reason he's not in a hurry now is because he still has plenty of skill points, and An Kai estimates that a year or two of seclusion would be enough for him.

"I?"

Hanks pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, then smiled calmly: "It will come. For a scoundrel like me, only the desert and Chaos City are my true home."

An Kai nodded, relieved.

Then, preparing to leave, he realized that he had just killed the guys in the inner city of Chaos City, as well as the assassins trained by the Bounty Tower and the people from the City Lord's Mansion in the Evergreen Gang. If he stayed any longer, he might be targeted by the City Lord's Mansion of Chaos City.

Perfect timing! He had solved his food problem, and it was time for him to go into seclusion…

"Ankai!"

Suddenly, Hanks called out to Ankai, who was turning to leave. Ankai turned back, puzzled…

"Try to leave the desert in the future. The desert is a gathering place for scum like us. You are still young, try to go out and explore."

Upon hearing this, An Kai suddenly burst out laughing…

"Hanks, are you getting senile? Or are you just getting old?"

"Why are you talking nonsense?"

"However, if you are about to die, remember to find a way to let me know. In my hometown, according to custom, I am supposed to give you a gift and host a banquet for you."

With a joke, An Kai put away the [Brute Force Staff], waved his hand, and walked into the depths of the desert without looking back...

"Gift money? Attend the banquet?"

Hanks muttered to himself, gazing in the direction Ankai had left, and couldn't help but sigh.

It seemed as if she felt sorry for Ankai's reluctance to leave the desert, or perhaps she was recalling her own past...

After taking one last look at Chaos City, Hanks ran off without turning back in the direction Widow Wang and the others had gone…

"I wonder when we'll meet again..."

...

The day after Ankai and Hanks left.

A warrant has been issued within the inner city of Chaos City!

The first is to issue a warrant for the arrest of the person who attacked and killed the Evergreen Gang's "Puppet Master" and "Astrologer".

Secondly, a warrant is being issued for the arrest of "Reed," who fished his way into the inner city...

The bounty for each of them is 1000 gold coins!

This is the city lord's mansion, which has been silent for a long time. For the first time in recent years, it has taken the initiative to issue a wanted notice...

...

The next day, after a day of walking, An Kai arrived at his first destination, following the simple desert map he had obtained from the Changqing Gang.

A small oasis covering approximately 200 acres…

Just as Ankai reached the entrance to the oasis, he saw that a side quest had been refreshed.

Coincidentally, he saw the wanted posters for him and Hanks from Chaos City…

"How stingy!"

With a muttered word, it plunged headfirst into the oasis…
