Chapter 282: Chapter 92: 25-Person Gold Team Forming

Hearing Salted Fish’s remarks, everyone was suddenly befuddled.

Qingfeng Deying asked, "What’s going on? Shouldn’t the guild leader be the one to start the group?"

Beijiu Pao replied, "The guild leader just said it’s too dangerous and called it off."

Shengtun Lemon interjected, "Salted Fish, are you up to it? Don’t mess this up."

Qingfeng Deying echoed, "Exactly, without the core team members up front taking the brunt, can we even manage?"

Xiu Hua Meng Zhangfei retorted, "Hey, look who’s talking, I’m a level 22 Iron Guard, my combat strength is definitely not inferior to those Generals in the core group. If only I had a healer to buff me, I would have charged in long ago."

Angel Blessing questioned, "Are there even healers in this game? Doesn’t everyone just rely on drinking blood bottles to heal themselves?"

Beijiu Pao explained, "Of course, there are healers, Magic Masters, Immortal Masters and the like can heal, but we just don’t have any here."

Shengtun Lemon said, "Magic Masters are all rich people, high-end talent, how could they possibly be our healers?"

Angel Blessing asked, "Isn’t Dida La a Magic Master?"

Beijiu Pao stated, "Isn’t a Five Elements Mage a Fire Mage?"

Seeing that the discussion was veering off-topic, Salted Fish quickly interrupted the periphery members’ chat.

Salted Fish said, "Stop, stop, stop, don’t talk about these useless things. Let me tell you, the stuff in the Ancient Tomb is definitely extraordinary. Most importantly, the boss of the tomb was already taken down this morning, that Ancient Tomb Corpse King, just from the name you know it’s the boss of the tomb. This means that right now there are mostly just Little Monsters left in the tomb, it’s a good time for us to strike. But if we wait another week for the boss to respawn, then we’ll have missed the boat."

Salted Fish added, "Besides, it’s not only us who know about this; our guild is a mixed bag, and we might have spies from other guilds or just people selling intel. The tomb could already be targeted by another guild. If we don’t act fast—I’m telling you, we’ll end up getting cut off."

Qingfeng Deying still worried, "But can we handle it with just us?"

Salted Fish reassured, "Why not? Are there no talents among the peripheral members? I think everyone just doesn’t like being restricted, which is why they didn’t join to become core members, but we still have the strength, right folks?"

Xiu Hua Meng Zhangfei laughed, "Haha, you’re absolutely right. If it weren’t for not liking being bossed around, I would have joined the main force long ago."

Imperial Little Qi chimed in, "Exactly, I too am a mighty Beast Tamer, part of the Magic System, right? I’m halfway to being high-end talent. Once I reach level 20 and change to Beast Taming Master, I’ll really take off."

Xiao Jie was speechless watching this group’s discussion; there really were those amongst them who didn’t know their own limitations, easily losing their bearings after a little flattery.

However, not everyone was like that.

Jifeng Zhiyin asked, "So, Salted Fish, how do we split the goods?"

Salted Fish replied, "There’s generally a lot of stuff in the Ancient Tomb, not just a few items. Everyone will act separately; whoever grabs something keeps it."

Considering there might still be some Little Monsters in the tomb, the front row would likely face more danger but also have a better chance at snagging good loot. Those hiding at the back would naturally just pick up what others left behind.

"How about it, fair, right?"

Xiao Jie was speechless, this division plan seemed a bit crude; it’s bound to end up as everyone rushing for benefits at the glimpse of them and turning to run at the sight of danger. In the end, whoever grabbed something would own it. If monsters and treasures appeared together, who would bother to fight the monsters when they could just rush for the treasures?

Salted Fish assured, "No need to worry, with me, Salted Fish, here, I’ll handle any real danger we come across. Plus, don’t forget, we have two big shots with us."

Dida La said jokingly, "Haha, well said, but let’s settle this first; I’m a Magic System so I can only provide support from the back. If I can’t grab any loot during the scramble, wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?"

Salted Fish queried, "So, what do you suggest?"

Dida La replied, "As long as we successfully conquer the Ancient Tomb, I want no part in the treasures, but I must have a guarantee of a hundred taels of silver as my appearance fee."

Salted Fish responded, "Dida La, aren’t you being a bit unreasonable? We don’t even know what’s in there yet."

Dida La countered, "Didn’t you say there are plenty of good things in the Ancient Tomb? Is a hundred taels really that much?"

This left Salted Fish feeling like it backfired.

Salted Fish conceded, "Fine, I’ll accept your condition. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll definitely give you the hundred taels. If there’s nothing else, I’ll break the bank and pay out of my own pocket."

Dida La agreed to join, "Then I’m in, but just to be clear, I’m only responsible for providing support from behind."

This was the confidence of a Magic Master; when encountering specific emergencies, it often requires Magic System professions to resolve the situation. Even if it’s just a supporting role, they required an appearance fee.

Xiao Jie hesitated; this ragtag team felt a bit risky.

Hidden Moon Following Wind questioned, "Salted Fish, how can you be certain there’s no other boss in the Ancient Tomb? What if a big monster pops up?"

While asking the question, he also sent a private message to Hidden Dragon Do Not Use.

Hidden Moon Following Wind messaged, "Brother Qianlong, Salted Fish is forming a group to raid the Ancient Tomb, aren’t you going to intervene?"

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use replied, "How can I intervene? Salted Fish is a Guest Elder, not a core member, and I don’t have the authority to intervene. Besides, if he really can conquer the Ancient Tomb, it’s better to keep it within the guild rather than another guild snatching it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jie instantly understood; there were certainly other people reporting to Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, his statement evidently pointed to Salted Fish’s warning about other guilds possibly intercepting them.

Hidden Moon Following Wind questioned, "Does Salted Fish still want me to join?"

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said, "Feng, it’s up to you to decide, don’t worry about the guild. This matter isn’t that complicated. Since the guild isn’t planning on raiding the Ancient Tomb right now, it’s fair game for the peripheral members to explore. The guild has no reason to interfere. However, you must bear the risk yourself. Be careful, Brother Feng."
