Chapter 1816: Chapter 1544: Extorted Again for 1,000 (Two-in-One)_2

Even if Su Ran has money, he shouldn’t think he can boss them around!

Of course, if he is willing to pay a certain price, that’s a different story.

"What do you guys think?"

Su Ran obviously realized this long ago, and instead of expressing his opinion, he calmly asked the few captains around him, waiting for their grand discussions.

"I suspect that only one of these passages is safe, so we must choose carefully."

Ugh, isn’t that just obvious.

Su Ran rolled his eyes and didn’t say much more, casting his gaze towards the others.

"If there are three longs and one short, pick the shortest; three shorts and one long, pick the longest. ABCD, I choose C, but there are only three options now, this is too hard..."

"These entrances all look identical, can’t distinguish at all. Why don’t we play rock-paper-scissors; the winner gets to decide, how about that?"

"..."

Su Ran almost choked, and thought, how could someone like this become a team captain?

Is this world too crazy, or has he fallen behind the times?

"Come on, rock-paper-scissors, I’m really good at this. Su Ran, what are you waiting for, come on!"

Su Ran felt his IQ being rubbed on the ground, and he could only go along with these people, engaging in an intense battle of rock-paper-scissors with them.

No choice, low influence, just got to follow the big picture.

In the end, the warrior player beside him won and casually chose the middle entrance. According to him, in a three-choice question like this, the probability of option B being correct is over thirty percent!

"..."

Su Ran felt powerless to retort, so he could only give a smile and follow them into the tunnel in the middle.

This tunnel was one that others had chosen before, but whether or not they would encounter anything was yet to be seen.

...

Imperial City, Safe Zone.

"Where’s the person?"

"Damn, that kid escaped!"

"Lucky he ran fast, or we wouldn’t have let him off!"

Su Ran’s subordinates returned to the safe zone via teleportation and searched every corner, but couldn’t find a trace of the white-haired player. Where he had set up a stall before was now occupied by an average-looking girl who didn’t seem to be leaving, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Probably in cahoots, let’s go ask her!"

A few of them were unwilling to give up and walked over, surprised by the woman’s enthusiasm before they could even ask a question.

"Are you here to buy information? I’ll give you a ten percent discount!"

Selling information?

Their eyes lit up, certainly in cahoots!

Wow, these con artists reached boss level, they even have a husband-wife duo!

"Sister, what kind of information are you selling?"

They exchanged a quick glance, probing indirectly for intel.

"You don’t know? I shouted so much on the world channel, was it all for nothing?"

The female player said angrily, hands on her hips and face showing indignation, "Check the world channel yourself, don’t bother me!"

"Wow, a seller with such an attitude, who would patronize you!"

"What a joke, shouting hundreds of times on the world channel, but can’t I just have logged on?"

When had they ever received such treatment, angered by the female player, they snapped back.

"Alright, alright, it’s my mistake, happy?"

The female player waved impatiently and explained, "My info is unique, concerning the Divine Domain envoy’s mission!"

"What?"

Their expressions changed. Just moments after leaving, the info had changed?

"I heard there’s a powerful BOSS in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. Do you know about it?"

They weren’t concerned with the Divine Domain envoy’s mission, more urgent matters at hand. As long as they found the white-haired player’s whereabouts, they could report back to Boss Su Ran.

"So you’re asking about that? I don’t know, don’t know, just leave already, you’re interrupting my business!"

The female player, confident in her safety in the safe zone, spoke boldly, even if there were eleven of them they couldn’t do anything to her!

"Then... the white-haired young man who was here before? Do you know where he is?"

One of the shield warriors stepped forward, pulled out two gold coins, and slipped them into the female player’s hand, smiling, "This is for the information, don’t find it too little."

"At least you’ve got some sense, I suppose I could tell you. After buying information from me, the white-haired player left here, probably off doing a mission now?"

The female player weighed the two gold coins, then revealed what happened earlier.

"Then where’s the Divine Domain envoy?"

"No comment, if you want to know, pay the price, 1000 gold coins for the intel, non-negotiable, thank you for your cooperation."

What the hell!

Another thousand!

If they said there’s nothing between that white-haired player and this woman, no one would believe it, considering the high price. They must ask Boss Su Ran first, one of them walked aside and sent a message to Su Ran.

Unfortunately, since they’re in the quest realm, normal messaging was impossible. Helplessly, he resorted to directly calling the boss’s built-in phone.

After a while, he returned, handed over the thousand gold coins to the female player.

"The money is given, now spill it, what’s the Divine Domain envoy’s mission?"

"Haha, money really talks! Handsome, don’t you need a girlfriend?"

Upon seeing so much gold, the female player immediately stowed it in her bag, afraid the player might take it back. Once it’s hers, it’s not coming back!

"Cut the crap, just spit it out!"

"Oh my, such masculinity! I can’t, my fallopian tubes are tingling..."

The female player was charmed by the man before her, then, noticing his darkening face, quickly dropped the fangirl facade and got serious, "C’mon now, I wouldn’t even look at someone like you, acting all high and mighty!"

"Listen carefully, I’ll only say it once, your loss if you don’t remember! The Divine Domain envoy is in..."

Before she finished, a group rushed by, shouting:

"Hurry, hurry, the Divine Domain envoy said only a hundred slots, no time left if we’re late!"

"This person is deep in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, do you think this hunting event starting early has anything to do with the envoy?"

"Who knows if there’s a connection, seriously, why leave the palace for some backwoods spot, asking for trouble!"

The group dashed into a pharmacy, probably to buy supplies, for as the saying goes, horses and soldiers are useless without provisions, right?

What?

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s subordinates were dumbfounded, even the female player had an embarrassed expression. Taking advantage of their confusion, she quickly said, "Go to the northwest corner of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, the Divine Domain envoy is there, only the first hundred players can get the quest, good luck."

Then, the woman logged off on the spot, leaving no room for them to respond.

"Damn it, tricked again!"

"What now, do we tell Boss Su Ran or what?"

"Tell him what! If Boss Su Ran finds out, he’ll tear us apart!"

"Then what do we do, a thousand gold isn’t a small amount!"

"Each bears 100 coins, swallow this loss, and remember, never let the boss find out! Let’s go, hurry to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, can’t let that white-haired kid escape!"

"Relax, there’s a hunting rule, once killed in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, you can’t re-enter during the event period..."

"Damn it, now what, can’t exactly just wait?"

"No choice, gotta tell the boss, let him decide, that’s our mission done."

The underlings resignedly departed the safe zone, having been duped.

...

"Wow, this big guy is amazing, unbeatable in close quarters!"

Su Ran excitedly watched the unidentifiable BOSS ahead, awed by its imposing stance. The small monsters they encountered along the way were effortlessly slain by it, it was simply exhilarating!
