Chapter 1792: Chapter 1531 Heading to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts to Dig for Treasure (Two-in-One)_2

So many people have suffered losses already; she’d been having enough headaches as it is, and now adding a piece of platinum equipment is just adding insult to injury!

"Miss, remember what you said, all of us here heard it, don’t go back on your word!"

"How could the boss’s daughter go back on her word? Besides, I recorded it; this is a legitimate means to protect our rights. I trust Miss won’t let us down."

A few players were subtly pressuring Han Siying; if she shirked responsibility, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"You go ahead and tally it up; I’m logging off to catch a break."

Han Siying took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to explode, and logged off on the spot.

If Su Ran knew about this scene, he would definitely burst out laughing. Xue Wuqing was still worried about a third wave of attacks, but with these second wave losses, Han Siying was already at the breaking point, how could she possibly think about launching another assault on the territory?

Even if they were forcibly organized, this group of players would go through the motions without actually trying, switching their gear to trash to avoid further loss risks.

"Bro, the missus bolted, what do we do?"

"That compensation looks iffy; just your platinum helmet alone is beyond her means, not to mention our assortment of gear which piles up to a fair amount. She’s a high school student, she couldn’t possibly have such financial clout, it would have to rely on the boss."

A young warrior who still had a baby face analyzed, "Whether the boss can accept it is still a question. If we don’t fight for it, there’s really no hope."

"Right, we have to fight for it! I refuse to believe there’s no fair place to appeal to!"

"Don’t get worked up, the boss shouldn’t break our hearts. Just wait and see."

"Fingers crossed..."

Reality.

Han Siying took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and then knocked on her father’s bedroom door.

"Come in."

Her father’s emotionless voice sounded; only then did Han Siying summon the courage to enter.

"Failed?"

"Yeah."

"As expected. Get out."

"Father, there’s one more matter I need to report to you."

Han Siying was surprised by her father’s reaction; he showed no sign of anger. It seemed he had anticipated this failure, only the scale of the losses he may not have computed?

"No need to say anything, I already know."

"Do you also know about the platinum helmet that got blown?"

"I don’t know, nor is there any need to know. Out."

"Uh..."

Han Siying felt awkward, some words choked in her throat, unsure how to bring up the topic, being effectively blocked by her father.

"Remember, say what needs to be said, don’t say what shouldn’t be said, now get out."

"..."

Upon hearing her father’s somewhat pointed words, Han Siying wanted to say something rude but held back. It seemed that she would have to shoulder all the blame herself. However, she had neither the capacity nor the funds to cover such compensations. Keeping her head down, she pressed on, "Father, about compensating for the equipment losses..."

"Out."

"..."

If Han Siying didn’t understand her father’s intentions now, she really would be out of her mind. Left without options, she abandoned the thought and exited his bedroom.

Once Han Siying was gone, Han Siying’s father pulled out a tissue and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

The scene transitions to the game.

After using up three batches of Teleportation Scrolls, Su Ran finally reached the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, where Banana had grown impatient waiting, shooting level 20 jungle wolves to pass the time.

"Oh my God, big brother, you’ve finally arrived! I’ve killed dozens of jungle wolves while waiting for you, it’s been tough!"

Banana released three arrows in succession, instantly killing the poor jungle wolf, and then turned to meet the approaching Su Ran.

"Can’t help it, these Random Teleportation Scrolls just aren’t my thing; the farther they can send me, the farther I end up. I’ve gotten used to it."

Su Ran didn’t see it as a big deal, glanced around, and couldn’t help but laugh, "You’ve really matured, snatching even newbie mobs, those new players are too scared to come close because of you!"

"I’m just bored, I didn’t pick up the equipment these jungle wolves dropped; I consider it a good deed."

Banana scratched his head and ducked into the forest with Su Ran, whispering, "Overturning Brother, I suggest you switch out the Fire-Resistant Mask. The newbies’ eyes were glued wide open when you appeared; having too much fame can be a burden. Life in the spotlight is like that, paparazzi snapping pictures at every turn, no privacy at all, so tragic!"

"I’ve gotten used to it. Listen to you with that sour tone, you’re just envious."

Su Ran removed the Fire-Resistant Mask, replacing it immediately with an ornamental one. Banana was right; the mask was too unique, making it hard to stay incognito. With an ornamental mask, there was a certain degree of disguise. Even if enemies spotted him, he could delay them enough.

"Oh, to be honest, I’d love to experience that tragedy, but I’m never given the chance to be famous..."

"Banana, I have a method to make you famous quickly without spending a dime."

"Tell me quickly!"

"Bare all your clothes and run a lap in the Imperial City safe zone; you’ll definitely blow up in fame!"

Su Ran stifled a laugh, speaking seriously, "If you don’t become famous, come find me!"

"Pft! I knew you weren’t planning anything good; hurry up, before those big guilds come, let’s quickly dig up the treasure and go!"

Banana couldn’t help but urge him; he didn’t want to waste any time.

"Look at you all anxious; what’s the rush? Let’s assess the situation first, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to put it on hold."

Su Ran had already memorized the coordinates of the ancient treasure map, and without lingering too much, led Banana into the depths of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.

...

About three minutes later, where Su Ran had just paused, a few towering trees stood. A tremble shook the leaves, and three robed players jumped down from above.

"Big brother, did you hear that? They mentioned treasure!"

A player with a pinched face couldn’t contain his excitement and whispered, "This is the treasure Overturning Water plans to dig up; it must be valuable!"

"No kidding, I have ears too. Just... are you sure this is Overturning Water?"

It was a white-haired player speaking; judging by his young face, he must have premature graying.

"I heard it too; Overturning Water was afraid of revealing his identity and even swapped masks. This person must be Overturning Water, no doubt about it!"

"Big brother, this is a rare chance; we can’t miss out on the treasure hidden in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

"If even Overturning Water has come to dig, the treasure must be massive wealth; the two of them can’t consume it all! This is our opportunity; missing it would be a shame..."

"Big brother, don’t hesitate anymore, or we’ll lose them!"

The two players were filled with urgency, egging their leader on, hoping he would make a decision quickly and not waste this golden opportunity.

"Even the three of us combined aren’t a match for Overturning Water. Going will just add embarrassment..."

The player referred to as big brother had more concerns than the other two. He realized that even if they tailed to the treasure, they wouldn’t be able to deal with Overturning Water, there was a high chance they might lose their lives there. That would be a disaster.

"Big brother, if that’s the case, then let’s switch our approach. Forget the treasure and sell the information exclusively!"

"What do you mean?"

"Follow them to the treasure spot, then sell this information to those big guild leaders and make a killing!"

"Hey, that makes sense. Big brother, think about it, selling those treasure coordinates multiple times would still make a handsome profit!"

"Great idea, let’s go, keep up with them, can’t miss this business opportunity!"

Big brother snapped to attention, accepted his teammates’ proposal, and led the squad towards the direction where Su Ran disappeared, knowing that finding the treasure coordinates meant potentially striking gold!

Maybe they could even get a share of the treasure!

Whether Su Ran’s treasure hunt will be exposed, or these players will succeed, we shall see tomorrow.
