Chapter 473: 164. Xiani’s Bet! _1

Time moved forward to the next day. At eight o’clock in the morning, Cui Si’s alchemy hut reopened for business, and the impatient players, who were eagerly waiting for new items to appear so they could quickly complete the Black Iron Trial, finally saw what they had long coveted.

A sufficient amount of Burning Oil was placed on the shelves, and then quickly purchased by players waving their Gold Coins until everything was sold out.

The Burning Oil that was introduced this time was an "upgraded version" supplemented with higher-quality Burning Glue. Lead Dove, the head apprentice of the alchemy hut, enthusiastically guaranteed that this item would only increase the efficiency of killing Elite Corpse-Eating Ghosts.

The other alchemy apprentices also used charming words to persuade their brothers to buy more.

Their proactivity in selling was for a reason— the cunning Cui Si had tied their wages to the turnover of the hut.

With each item sold, the players currently working at the alchemy hut could earn a wage.

Although it was not much, compared to the players who currently don’t have a stable income in the game, working for Blood Vulture Duke was acceptable.

However, even with the essential Burning Oil and specially prepared bullets to fight against the Vampires, not everyone can complete the Black Iron Trial as smoothly as Little Wei Ming and Stick Brother. These aids only increase the success rate, but they are not always effective.

Lumina and Stick Brother both repeatedly emphasized in their posts that everyone should at least master their main skills before challenging.

But they couldn’t stop the playful hearts of the players.

The main issue was that others had already passed. If I was still stuck, wouldn’t it prove that I am a noob?

Yet the paradox is, who in the online world can admit that they are noobs?

"Really? Mud Head, you want to try too?"

In front of the alchemy hut, Happy Stick, who came to join in the fun and hang out, saw a familiar face. He grabbed the Mud Car Iaido, who was chatting happily in the crowd like an old man in the park, and exclaimed in surprise:

"Aren’t you three casual players with administrative positions? Why do you want to do the Strength trial too? Isn’t it nice to be an official in the camp?"

"It’s awesome, we even get position allowances now."

Mud Car laughed and waived his hand, saying,

"But since we are playing a game, we should challenge ourselves occasionally. It feels weird to always stay at level 10. I know what you are worried about, but don’t worry, we four won’t challenge dangerous Ghouls in the sewers. We plan to practice our hands on those Wolf people bandits.

There are also elite bosses among them!

Moreover, these guys are notorious for bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If we set up traps and badly injure them, they will run away. Then we can go and harvest, that’s all it takes.

We can also help the rookie guards in the camp to practice a bit, killing two birds with one stone."

"Oh, that’s not a bad idea. After all, no matter how big the sewer is, there aren’t so many elite corpse-eating ghosts to trouble the players."

The Happy Stick stroked his chin.

He also felt that he might need to shift the "battlefield". After dealing with the underground treasure house of the gang that they were currently searching for, why not take his brothers out to "grind some mobs"?

"Yo, Brother Fu?"

As the two chatted, the now well-known among players "Brother Fu" aka Little Brother Fu also came over to join the fun.

This guy had his steadily growing Little Scorpion Lion on his head. It had grown as big as a fat cat, always curious and looking around with its little head. The man and beast were being the center of attention, which led Happy Stick to make a joke,

"You’re only level 3, and you’re already thinking about the Black Iron Trial? Quite ambitious, aren’t you?"

"I am here to buy a ’Growth Potion’ for my Smelly Treasure."

Little Brother Fu grinned and waved his hand, saying,

"The way we summoners level up is different from you guys. We rely on our pets to damage, I’m not in a hurry to level up, I need to sort out Smelly Treasure’s first hunt. However, I don’t want to take it to the sewer, Stick Brother, do you have any good places in mind?"

"How about coming with us to grind Wolf people camps?"

Mud Car invited,

"It’s not far from the camp, about ten minutes by horse. The main aim is to get NPCs to gain combat experience. You can tag along and do some damage on the side, it’s not too dangerous."

"Okay, how much is it?"

Brother Fu quickly asked, leaving Mud Car stunned.

The middle-aged man said in astonishment,

"What are you talking about cost? Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?"

"Ah, there really is no place to spend money in this game! There’s not even a top-up window, not to mention buying outfits, I want that Vampire Midnight Hunter outfit, but there’s no place to buy it. But, isn’t leveling supposed to cost money?"

Little Brother Fu scratched his head and hugged the Little Scorpion Lion on his head into his arms, giving it a good rub. He said,

"Could it be free? That Sounds too good to be true. You’re not planning to use me as a bait for Wolf people, are you?"

"You just need to register as a junior manager in the camp, then you can act together with NPCs, not only does it not cost money, but you also get a weekly work allowance. High pay, little work, and close to home, you just need to spare two hours a day to help NPCs handle some camp affairs.

It’s a simple and enjoyable game mode, best suited for a rich guy like you.

Let’s go.

Big brother here will show you around."

Mud Car patted Little Brother Fu’s shoulder, the crafty middle-aged man was planning to fool another newbie into joining their "administration group".
