"Fuck!"
Gui Guzi and I immediately pulled out our swords and charged. No matter who killed Li Le, as long as they killed our client during our quest time, then they were ignoring Bloody Mercenaries' authority!
Cough cough, let's assume that Bloody Mercenaries had authority for now!
The person who had killed Li Le appeared. The name was very familiar — Unyielding Mad Dragon. Mad Dragon's ace Assassin had actually appeared here!
"Tch!"
Unyielding Mad Dragon saw me and Gui Guzi and immediately put the Creature Holding Stone and the equipment into his bag. At the same time, he grinned. "Come and take it if you have the guts!"
My Dark Wasp arrived immediately, its stinger flashing with cold light as it flew into the air.
Unyielding Mad Dragon was very calm. He took out fluorescent powder, raised his hand, and disappeared. Assassin's Level 30 skill — Vanish!
Forced invisibility was very difficult to break, especially in the early stages of the game when none of us had AoE skills.
“MISS！”
“MISS！”
Gui Guzi and I had missed our weapons, and there was only Li Le's corpse on the ground. Where was Unyielding Mad Dragon?
I stomped on the ground and suddenly spun, the Weeping Fire Blade drawing an arc in the air!
Whoosh!
The invisible Unyielding Mad Dragon made a dodging motion. Even though I couldn't see him, I could clearly feel the movement of the wind around me. Right now, my mind was completely clear. It was as if my senses had never been this sensitive before.
Location, found!
I shouted, "Little Gui, 25 degrees east by north, immediately, other readers look normally:!"
Gui Guzi was a bit dumb, but his reactions in the game were very fast. The moment I spoke, he had already attacked, his spear stabbing out like a divine dragon!
Puchi!
A trace of blood flew in the air. Unyielding Mad Dragon, who had been hiding, flipped out of stealth. My guess was correct.
"Fuck, how is this possible?!"
Unyielding Mad Dragon angrily shouted. He turned around and tried to escape, but he didn't think that Du Thirteen would already be behind him, sword in hand. Pointing his sword at Unyielding Mad Dragon, Du Thirteen smiled and said, "Kid, just admit defeat!"
Crack!
I flew past him and killed Unyielding Mad Dragon with a casual swing of my sword. An assassin's physique was very limited, so Gui Guzi and I were more than enough to finish him off.
As Unyielding Mad Dragon fell to the ground, the Creature Holding Stone dropped again. This item's drop rate was quite high!
Looking at the Demon Trapping Stone lying on the grass, the three of us didn't pick it up and huddled together.
"What should we do? What should we do with this Blood Skull?" Du Thirteen asked.
Gui Guzi said, "I picked it up and returned it to Young Master Le?"
I shook my head. "There's no need for that. This Blood Skeleton died on his own accord. We'd be meddling if we returned it to him."
"Then what should we do?"
"Yeah, how do we deal with it?" Du Thirteen was also very confused.
I pondered for a moment before saying, "We can't sell this Blood Skeleton ourselves. How about this? Thirteen, take it and use the game's notarized transaction to sell it anonymously. You can sell it if it exceeds 600 gold. Don't be greedy!"
Du Thirteen nodded. "Okay, what do we do with the money from the sale?"
"Confiscate it. Use it as the studio's activity funds. Well, actually, it's the three of us' food expenses!"
"Haha, no problem!"
Du Thirteen originally wanted to keep the Blood Skeleton and level it himself, but my previous words made him change his mind. It wasn't wise to level a meatshield pet in the early stages of the game. If it was a mage with high attack power but low health, it was possible to level it, but not a warrior.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Unyielding Mad Dragon and Li Le lying head to head like a pair of good brothers. I couldn't help but laugh. Li Le was a rich second generation, and Unyielding Mad Dragon's boss, Roaming Dragon, was also a rich young master. These two gangs would definitely fight to the death. The future of Floating Ice City seemed more and more interesting.
… …
Around five in the afternoon, Du Thirteen anonymously sold the Blood Skeleton in the online transaction. Someone offered 700 gold, and then all 700 gold were sold for 80 RMB. I also sold it for 900 gold. In total, I earned 76950 RMB. My personal card was almost at 100,000 RMB now.
After being modified by the virus, my reaction time in the game was reduced to about 0.3 seconds. As expected, I had achieved great results in the world of Heavenblessed. Looking at the balance in my card, I sighed. Fate makes fools of people. If I had this reaction speed a year ago, I wouldn't have been repeatedly killed by Candlelight Shadow, and He Yi and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls wouldn't have ended up in such dire straits.
Speaking of which, it was a blessing in disguise. After narrowly escaping death, my body was strengthened, and my brain waves were also very strong. Unfortunately, I didn't know if I was still human, especially after waking up and seeing the faint red spots on my skin and the burning pain I felt under the sun. All of these things forced me to suppress my desire to return to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, and made me work harder to build Bloody Mercenaries. Only then could I better protect Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, because Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls was my home, the land of dreams that I yearned for day and night. Other book friends: Normal.
In the afternoon, when it was close to dinner time, I went offline.
In the living room of the workshop, I sat on the sofa, took out a ballpoint pen, and recorded all of the Bloody Mercenaries workshop's income and expenditure for the day. First sale of the Blood Skeleton, 1000 gold, or 76950 RMB, accepted the mercenary quest (help Li Le level up to 27), 100 gold, or 7600 RMB. Second sale of the Blood Skeleton, 700 gold, or 53200 RMB. Total income: 137750 RMB. Expenses: Breakfast: 12 deep-fried dough sticks, 5 sesame seed cakes, a total of 17 RMB. Lunch: Szechuan restaurant, 287 RMB. Total expenses: 304 RMB. Today's net profit: 137346...
I read it out. Du Thirteen and Gui Guzi both nodded and said that there were no problems. I said, "Since there are no problems, should the three of us go to Construction Bank?
Everyone get a card. This is the first time Bloody Mercenaries has paid their salaries. "
Gui Guzi said, "Boss Broken Halberd, you actually caught the Blood Skeleton yourself, so it shouldn't be counted in the total."
I shook my head and smiled. "It's fine. It doesn't matter how much money I have, as long as I have enough to use. What's the point of having too much? It's not like I can take it to my coffin."
Gui Guzi laughed and asked, "Then, how do we pay the salaries?"
I had a card up my sleeve and said directly, "50% of the total income will be deducted as the workshop's operating funds. Thirteen will be in charge of it, and the rest will be divided into three parts. How about it?"
Du Thirteen stilled and said, "Lu Chen, you seem to be at a disadvantage if that's the case.
You put in the most effort in this workshop, so you should get the most... "
I shook my head. "No need to say more. This is our workshop's pioneering period, and I don't want to be too selfish. Also, one Blood Skeleton sold for seventy or eighty thousand. A gaming otaku like me doesn't have the time to spend it. Why don't we split it and send some money home? That way, our families will be at ease, and we can play happily outside, right?"
Gui Guzi and Du Thirteen nodded in agreement.
At this time, Du Thirteen saw the phone in the paper bag next to my hand. It was the TC72 made of pure platinum. His eyes immediately lit up and he couldn't help but ask, "Lu Chen, when did you change your phone?
This phone... is so cool and flashy. Tsk tsk, what material is it made of? It's so heavy, it can't be cheap, right? "
I smiled carelessly. "It's a knockoff made of aluminum alloy. What, do you like it, Thirteen?"
"I like it. Other book friends, look at it normally:!"
"Then take it. Think of it as an early 25th birthday present for you."
"Haha, really?" Du Thirteen was overjoyed. He grabbed the TC72 in his hand.
I smiled. "Of course it's real. Take it and use it. It's not very expensive anyway. But... cough cough, when the phone is about to break, you can take it to a gold and silver shop to have it appraised. Maybe you can sell it for some money, haha..."
Du Thirteen was a bit suspicious. He held the TC72 fondly as if he couldn't bear to let go of it. It was as if he had finally captured the heart of the girl he loved after many years of experience.
Before dinner, the three of us went to the bank and completed the transfer. Then, we used my name to make a public account and deposited 70,000 RMB into it. I gave it to Du Thirteen for safekeeping. From now on, he would be in charge of all the workshop's purchases and living expenses. This guy had become the workshop's financial manager. Gui Guzi kept calling Du Thirteen "Manager B", and Du Thirteen always suspected that the guy was calling him "Manager B".
After everything was done, the three of us went to the nearest Hunan restaurant. It was the Happy House opposite Suzhou University. The last time I ate with Lin Yixin, it was pretty good.
After we ate and drank our fill, we returned to the workshop and continued working hard!
… …
Swhoosh!
I appeared in Floating Ice City and looked at my Level 40. It was time to go out and grind. Once a player reached Level 40, their Rank 3 skills would gain proficiency and could go to Rank 4. I had to grind Ghost Deity Armor, Pardon, Slayer Slash and other ace skills to Rank 4 as soon as possible!
At this time, a bell rang — Ding ~!
System Notice: Player "Wind Fantasy" wants to talk to you. Do you accept?
After confirming, Lin Yixin's voice came from the other side. "Hi ~ Lu Chen, good evening!"
I was on guard. Such a good attitude, it couldn't be anything good!
"Beauty Yi, if you have something to say, just say it …"
Lin Yixin's bell-like laughter came from the other side. A few seconds later, she said, "Lu Chen, I saw Li Le this afternoon. Hehe, his face was covered in dirt, so interesting ~"
"Oh, as long as you're happy …"
"Right, I heard that you took Li Le to grind levels this morning?" Lin Yixin asked in a seemingly casual manner.
I said seriously, "He didn't recognize me. Also, Bloody Mercenaries values the customer above all, so it's normal to take him to grind levels. We're serving the people!"
"You're serving the yuan, aren't you?" Lin Yixin hit the nail on the head.
I laughed. "Yiyi, you're chatting with me instead of grinding levels? What, missing me?"
"Go die, who would miss you!"
Lin Yixin said angrily, "Alright, I'm going to grind levels. Bye!"
I hung up and felt good inside. In Floating Ice City, I seemed to be the only person who dared to publicly tease the Fruit Knife Goddess, Wind Fantasy.
I walked out of Floating Ice City and headed straight for my next destination: Reflection Hills.
It was a holy place where high-level monsters spawned and the Rank 5 ingredient, Garlic!
