Chapter 112: League of Haggling and Gossiping Aunties

Death Envoys were the tumors of the entire galactic federation. They were known to be the ultimate poachers. Whether you’re a human or non-human, tall or short, handsome or ugly, without class or not, you’re on their list, and it was the same for those who offended them.

Having one or two of the death envoys stationed at the Newbie Mountains eliminated will not cause so much commotion, but to have more than twenty-five wiped out from the death registry at the same time, it abruptly caught the attention of the Death Envoy Gossiping Auntie Associations.

Like the players, these death envoys also have their own population, combat power, and prosperity rankings, which will be rewarded at the end of every week when competing between Newbie Mountains, and they are updated every five minutes.

Newbie Mountain no. 27 was in the fourth place in the population list with 53 just five minutes ago, and with the 25 death envoys suddenly gone, their ranking fell into a swoop, landing them a position in the 204th place, which means something big might have happened. It calls for the gossiping aunties to gather. They opened the topic with enthusiasm to overcome their boredom.

Since the weekly monsters’ tide was still six days away, their recruitment business was in its crawling phase.

The overcooked chickens like to huddle together inside caves when sharing their gossip during their free time. Because of the restrictions imposed on them, they only had a few opportunities to seek entertainment, and gossiping was their main hobby besides being talent agents.

"My senses are tingling. I bet that those black buffoons have stupidly offended Tier 2 monsters and reaped what they sowed."

"That’s probably the case, but you can’t rule out the possibility of them encountering other powerful clans in ignitio. Those nosy guys love to jump like carps whenever they see us. They must have been envying our recruitment privileges."

"Or maybe they stumbled upon a light-element artifact and unknowingly triggered it to unleash a high-level spell and wipe out their numbers."

"What if those from light sectors sent someone to specifically target us?"

This question elicited a few seconds of silence among the gossiping aunties before one of them spoke.

"You’re exaggerating. They won’t waste their access passes for something so trivial, and while it is still in the early stages,

Besides the summoning platform, species from other realms can also use the access pass. They are granted to clans that have members that manage to rank in the Top 10 from the previous centennial game. They are akin to monthly single-use visas attached with limited visiting time.

Those that are from 4th to 10th place had allotted a quarter of a day. The third-place winner will have half a day. The second will be given a day, and the first place will have a week.

Even when you want to stay, the game will automatically kick you out of its planet’s orbit once your time runs out.

The Celestial Foxes Clan and the thieve Little Mantou had used access passes to cross the boundaries of the main game world.

Little Mantou was lucky or unlucky enough to establish a contract with Li Chunhua, but the downside of the deal was that his strength would be adjusted and he would be under the jurisdiction of his master, not allowed to visit his home until the end of the competition or if his Master died.

The gossiping aunties tried to guess the cause behind this strange event. Lots of them list possible factors, but they never mention that it was related to a player.

After all, to kill so many death envoys within five minutes was too much for the candidates at this time.

But only the 28 remaining death envoys of Newbie Mountain knew the truth.

Those who were unable to participate in the special event also gathered in their main hideout and were discussing who the player was who managed to kill their colleagues.

Because they didn’t pass the level requirement, they didn’t receive the location of the bounty player and only waited for those participants to bring back the good news, but what they received was the notification of true death notices and their ranking dropping out of the top 100.

This angered them a lot, but it also made them perplexed.

What kind of method did that player use to complete such a difficult task?

"A favorite baby got killed. I wagered that his dad was smashing things out of anger."

"What do we do now?"

"We could only wait until the monsters’ tide before we could make a move."

The others nodded before talking about unrelated stuff, fluttering their gossiping aunts’ hearts.

"Hey, I heard that you have a new cream to poison players. Can I buy it with points?"

"I luckily came across the friendly imp species while monitoring the players in my assigned areas and looted their tropic bananas to make it. I’m selling it for 300 death points for every 100 ml."

These aunties didn’t only know how to gossip. They also knew how to haggle.

"300 points is too expensive. Tropic bananas are not even rare. I’ll buy it with 100 points instead."

The seller snickered and stood on his ground. The others were also interested in the product and joined the two in bargaining. In the end, the product was sold for 175 points, signifying the aunties’ outstanding ability to negotiate.

One of them was planning on eliminating a particular oddball in his designated area using this. While it was forbidden for them to directly kill players, they can use an indirect method to do so.

When one product was done, the others took out another and it was a polished cream to make bones shiny. The flames in the eyes of the Aunties swayed wildly and they started another round of ’you add while I’ll subtract.’

They continued this for hours after the members took out their secret beauty products one after the other until they left the association with satisfaction to conduct their regular beauty maintenance.

One of them detoured from his usual route and navigated through a dense forest to arrive at a player’s territory half-kilometer east of the Salted Fish.

The owner of the territory were with his natives and was trying to make wooden barricades and plow the small field and when the natives saw the death envoy standing outside the territory entrance, they were alarmed and grabbed anything they can that qualify as weapons.

"Scram!" The natives shouted in between fear and anger but a voice commanded them to shut up.

Their Master wearing a bandana from a coarse fabric over his head, hurriedly run to the entrance and greeted the death envoy respectfully, shocking his natives. A sense of revulsion stirred within them and their impression of their Master went down a notch.

Their loyalty dropped in 5s and 10s.

If Little Baozi was here, she would have recognized who the player was because it was the Crow-mouth Huo Yan!

"What does his Excellency wanted me to do?" Huo Yan asked in a cautious tone.

"I need you to take care of someone." The death envoy spoke before handing a vial filled with blue liquid.
