Chapter 74: The Advang Pyers

  Suddenly, Cassius spoke, breaking Mantou's fantasy of diving while riding a dragon.

  "It's getting te. Please return, everyone. I hope that ime we meet, you will have made full preparations."

  Then, he waved his hand lightly, and a portal burning with raging fmes appeared before them. Before the four could react, a powerful magical force shoved them inside, leaving no room for struggle or resistance.

  They felt a fsh of white light and found themselves ba the small house.

  The words on the invitation had dimmed ainguished; it seemed there was no sed ce to use it.

  Summer Night Autumn Rain recalled the ret experiend couldn't help saying, "This shop is so cool—no, I mean, this NPC is so important."

  Singo felt sret for writing that strategy guide too early: "I really didn't expect fa tribution to have such a big role; I shouldn't have jumped to clusions."

  "That warrior's advanced css 【Crimson Scaled queror】 is defihe stro early-game css, bar none."

  Born Battle Maniac touched his bald head: "I also want to try out the dragon bloodli feels very strong."

  Singo agreed: "Yes, just the natural armor alone widen the gap with ordinary pyers, not to mentioribute bonuses and spell abilities."

  Mantou said quietly, "Then shouldn't we keep this information to ourselves and not let others know?"

  Summer Night Autumn Rain and Born Battle Maniaodded in agreement upon hearing this.

  From their professional gamer mi, monopolizing information to widen the gap with others was very normal.

  But Singo objected: "No, we must make this information public."

  Mantou uzzled: "What if someone else snatches the Crimson Scales?"

  He was now focused solely on being a dragon knight; there was no room in his mind for any other thoughts. After all, being a knight is every man's romance!

  Singo gave him a ptuous gnce before saying, "Of course, we won't annou immediately but wait for a certain opportunity."

  "portunity?"

  "Observe the movements of those big guilds; wait until they start peting for fa tributios."

  Summer Night Autumn Rain immediately uood and expined, "In the early stages, gold s are scarce. Those big guilds might focus more on equipment and won't spend money o items, but ohey develop, they will defiry to purchase quest items like the 【Mysterious Invitation】."

  "And after they uand the role of fa tribution, they will definitely monopolize the information and start grabbing those fa tributios they previously didn't want. At that time, we should release this information to mobilize more solo pyers to pete with the guilds and slow down their progress."

  Born Battle Maniac added, "And before that, during this period, we widen the gap with others in terms of fa tribution."

  Mantou suddenly realized and excimed, "You top professional pyers have really dark minds."

  Singo said, "What do you mean by dark minds? This is called gaming strategy. If you're not good, practice more. By then, you'll be responsible for making videos, I'll be responsible for writing guides, and we'll directly boost our traffic."

  "Alright."

  Born Battle Maniac looked at the invitation oable, which was no different from ordinary paper: "Should we buy another invitation first? That thing probably isn't supplied infinitely. It wouldn't be good if those guild bastards snatched it, especially that Royal Authority."

  "Do you have a grudge against them?" Mantou asked curiously.

  Born Battle Maniac smiled holy, toug his bald head: "It's not a big grudge. In the previous game 'Star Domain', I blew up their guild's mothership with a ship-cutting bde. I'm afraid they'll target me ohey develop this time."

  Cold sweat broke out on Mantou's forehead. He thought to himself, "This guy is really ruthless; better not provoke him lightly."

  Summer Night Autumn Rain asked, "Where we get so many gold s? The ten gold s st time already cost us everything."

  Singo sneered fidently, "Do you know that the Baator City Exge has retly unched a new service—gold loans, requiring only oh the value as colteral."

  Mantou noticed that Singo was eyeing him unkindly—more precisely, eyeing his equipment. His face immediately darkened.

  "I worked hard to grind for this equipment; don't even think about it!"

  "Mantou, don't you want to bee a handsome dragon knight?"

  Singo approached with a sinister smile, his words like the whispers of a devil.

  "Ah—"

  "Don't forcefully strip my equipment—"

  "At least leave me some shorts, Singo."

  Summer Night Autumn Rain blushed and covered her eyes, but still peeked through her fingers, her face growing even redder.

  Born Battle Maniac awkwardly scratched his bald head and said, "Singo is just like that; don't mind him."

  When Singo turned around, Mantou looked utterly defeated. He had returo his i appearance when he first ehe game—a simple cloth outfit, full of the charm of a cute newbie.

  Singo himself also led by example, stripping all his equipment .

  Singo wore a gentle smile on his face: "You two, I won't o trouble yht?"

  Summer Night Autumn Rain witnessed Mantou's miserable state through her fingers, instinctively hugged herself tighter, her cheeks slightly flushed.

  She hurriedly said, "Don't e over; I'll do it myself."

  Afraid that Singo might turn into a tentacle monster and do something inappropriate.

  Born Battle Maniac touched his bald head and straightforwardly took off his beast-skin clothes—anyway, barbarians didn't need much equipment; they just o go berserk.

  "Snap!"

  Singo cpped his hands with a smile.

  "No objes from anyone, so let's start grinding! Let's widen the gap with other pyers, starting now!"

  "I'll take these equipments to the Exge for a loan, and once we get the gold s, we'll immediately grab the Mysterious Invitation. Battle Maniac, Autumn Rain, and Mantou, you three go to the square to take os. The more fa tribution, the better. Also, pay attention to the quest to iigate the Tieflings; all these o proceed simultaneously."

  Mantou, wearing simple cloth clothes, colpsed on the ground, his eyes empty.

  "Is this the world of top professional pyers?"

  "I have objes..."

  However, Singo seemed not to hear, holding the pile of equipment that Mantou longed for, and hurriedly left.

  Born Battle Maniac patted Mantou's shoulder with his big, strong hand: "Mantou, don't take it to heart. Singo is like this; we often have mental breakdowns too. You'll get used to it."

  Summer Night Autumn Rain stood by, looking at him sympathetically, softly f him.

  Mantou was on the verge of tears: "Who takes Singo's words to heart? I'm thinking about the equipment I painstakingly grinded for ten days—"

  More than ten days ter, a legend of the "Bck Sve Four" spread iy.

  They were four famous popur professional pyers. Strangely, each of them wore only the simplest newbie cloth clothes. Some pyers reasonably suspected they had been robbed and were heavily i.

  These freat pyers" were not picky about tasks at all; they accepted any work, whether it was moving bricks, smearing ash, repairing walls, deliveriers, or mining. Even when entering pure fa tribution tasks that ordinary people avoided, they eagerly accepted them.

  In just over ten days, they had raised their fa tribution to nearly five thousand, shog the forums and earning the niame "Bck Sve Four".

  "Achoo!"

  Mantou wiped his sweat in the dark mine and sneezed for some reason.

  "What 'Bck Sve Four'..."

  "I'm a man who wants to bee a dragon knight!"

  He thought to himself, his determined gaze faintly shining in the darkness. However, behind him came the scolding of the hobgoblin overseer and the sound of whips.

  "What are you doing? Daydreaming? Hurry up and work!"

  "Oh, okay."

  Mantou swung his hoe again, his movements being more skilled.
