MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1628 1628: Temptation

"Whoa..."

Hearing the words of Gloomy Abyss, Sanguine Warflag couldn't help but mourn for this kid for half a minute.

Sanguine Warflag knew very well what kind of people the Quan Zhen Sect were; they were notoriously audacious and only responded well to gentleness, not force. Speaking so arrogantly was essentially asking for death.

After all, he was still a young man, unaware of the depths of the situation. The Sanguine Alliance had once asked the Quan Zhen Sect the same thing.

...

However, to Sanguine Warflag's astonishment, Wang Yu and the others showed no signs of anger in the face of Gloomy Abyss's provocation. Even the usually sharp-tongued Fearless didn't retaliate immediately but instead looked at Gloomy Abyss with a smile and said, "We are just a small guild, not worth mentioning. I don't know which guild you belong to that allows you to speak so high and mighty?"

"Hmph!"

Gloomy Abyss was quite straightforward. When Fearless said that his guild was not worth mentioning, he actually believed it and disdainfully replied, "The Dark Alliance! Ever heard of it?"

"Sounds familiar! I think I've heard it somewhere before."

Fearless stroked his chin, looking up as if deep in thought.

At this moment, Sanguine Warflag hurriedly chimed in, "That's the one I just mentioned! The guild that swallowed up the Peerless Heaven in one go! You could say it's the strongest guild in the entire server now."

"Haha!"

Seeing Sanguine Warflag introduce his guild like this, Gloomy Abyss was quite pleased, nodding in satisfaction and showing a smug smile.

"Whoa..."

After hearing Sanguine Warflag's explanation, Fearless dramatically gasped, looking at Gloomy Abyss in surprise, "Is that the Dark Alliance that's currently acquiring the mining areas?"

"Bah!"

Seeing Fearless's surprised expression, Sanguine Warflag felt a headache coming on and silently cursed, "Damn it, it's clearly you who lured them here, yet you're acting surprised. If you don't go act, it's such a waste of talent."

"That's right! It is our guild!"

Fearless's exaggerated reaction once again pleased Gloomy Abyss, who promptly revealed his identity.

"Then how much are you offering?" Just as Gloomy Abyss finished speaking, Fearless leaned closer to ask.

"Uh..."

Fearless's question caught Gloomy Abyss off guard. However, Gloomy Abyss had a good impression of Fearless from earlier, so he didn't put on a stern face to act tough. Instead, he said calmly, "Five hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand?" Fearless pretended to be surprised, "Is it really that cheap?"

"Of course!" Gloomy Abyss replied confidently.

"Then I'll offer one million; how about the mining area belongs to me?" Fearless turned to Sanguine Warflag and said, waving his hand to pull out a large jewelry box.

With a thud, it landed on the table.

The jewelry box sparkled with golden light, dazzling Gloomy Abyss.

In the setting of <<Rebirth>>, when the amount of gold exceeds one million, the container turns into a luxurious jewelry box, purely to highlight wealth and make the rich seem more impressive.

One million gold coins is not a small amount. In the game, players who can casually pull out one million gold coins are extremely rare. Even the Dark Alliance's acquisition of mining areas involved loans from the system.

As for ordinary players, they had probably never seen that much money; most players treat gaming as a side gig, barely managing to support their families.

Converting the gold on the table into RMB means ten million; forget about supporting a family, one could even afford to raise a cow or an uncle comfortably.

"This..."

Looking at the jewelry box on the table, Sanguine Warflag felt troubled.

Gloomy Abyss was anxious, saying, "Why are you so unreasonable?"

"Oh?" Fearless raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't mining areas owned by whoever has money? I may not have much, but I have money. Right now, my offer is double yours. So, Sanguine Leader, shouldn't you sell the mining area to me?"

At this point, Fearless turned to Sanguine Warflag.

"This isn't just a matter of money!" Sanguine Warflag waved his hand, feeling perplexed about what to do.

Gloomy Abyss couldn't help but chime in, "It's a guild issue!"

"A guild issue?" Fearless muttered in confusion, then pulled out two more jewelry boxes and tossed them on the table before asking Sanguine Warflag, "Is this enough this time?"

"This..."

Seeing the jewelry boxes on the table, Sanguine Warflag licked his lips and turned to Gloomy Abyss, saying, "Well, An, what do you think..."

"I think..."

Gloomy Abyss was also speechless. He realized that the guy in front of him was just a naive rookie, having nothing but money.

If Fearless hadn't pulled out so much money, Gloomy Abyss would have resorted to threats, but seeing Fearless casually pull out three jewelry boxes, he started to feel a bit uneasy.

This guy was a tycoon. Why did the Dark Alliance come so far to buy a mining area? It was to make money, right? So, while they could offend many people, they definitely couldn't offend the wealthy.

That's why the saying "money is the best weapon" is absolutely true; just a moment ago, Gloomy Abyss was full of bravado, but now he was stuttering a bit.

Joking aside, if he offended such a big tycoon, how would he continue to survive in the future?

After being stunned for quite a while, Gloomy Abyss finally came back to his senses and, after thinking for a moment, respectfully asked, "Friend, I know you have a lot of money, but money shouldn't be spent this way."

"Oh?" Fearless asked curiously, "Then how should it be spent?"

"Very simple!" Gloomy Abyss continued to deceive, "You can cooperate with our Dark Alliance."

"Why should I?" Fearless said unwillingly.

Gloomy Abyss smugly replied, "Because we, the Dark Alliance, can acquire the mining area for five hundred thousand, while you'd need to spend three million."

"Um..."

After hearing what Gloomy Abyss said, Fearless pondered for a moment and said, "That does seem to make some sense, but what benefit do I get from it?"

"Of course there are benefits!" Gloomy Abyss continued to deceive, "Running a mining area isn't an easy task. We're in business too. As long as you're willing to invest, we can give you shares. You won't have to worry about anything; you just need to count your money later."

At this point, Gloomy Abyss couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his eloquence.

Despite the Black Dragon Guild's considerable size, everyone knows that Japan is a small country with few people, and resources are being monopolized, with only outflows and no inflows. In such circumstances, the Black Dragon Guild also had no surplus; otherwise, they wouldn't be taking such a huge risk to raid mining areas in the national server.

Even though they had acquired so many mining areas, it was all based on loans from the system with tens of thousands of players in the Black Dragon Guild. The system's interest rates are high, and if they mismanage the mining area business, they might end up working for the system for free. That's why finding a wealthy backer is the most reliable path.
