Chapter 1641 1641: A Mere 200 Million Gold Coins
The penalty for breach of contract from so many people is no small sum; for anyone, it would be a windfall.
If it were an ordinary player, they would undoubtedly log off without a second thought; even if they stopped playing the game, they wouldn't possibly part with the money.
However, Black Dragon King couldn't do that.
According to the system's settings, players with outstanding loans cannot sell or list their gold for sale. This means that Black Dragon King currently has a massive sum of money, but it's only game currency. To convert it into real money, he must engage in cash transactions with others.
One must understand that as the game progresses, the production of gold increases, and the exchange rate between gold and renminbi (RMB) decreases.
No one's money comes from thin air; even those wealthy players who buy gold do so according to the current exchange rate. Black Dragon King has such a large sum of gold in hand that no one would want to buy it all at once.
Even if someone wanted to, Black Dragon King is currently in the national server; who would dare to reveal themselves carelessly? The only option for him to spend his gold is to list it for sale.
However, all the gold he acquired for the mining area came from system loans, and after paying off the penalties, what remains is only a small portion.
Although this small portion is an astronomical figure for ordinary players, it is not much for Black Dragon King.
After all, Black Dragon King has a guild with several hundred thousand players in the Japanese server, which is a legitimate real estate asset—not much smaller than the top guild, and incomparable to others. Its value is naturally incalculable.
Should he keep the quantifiable gold or the priceless real estate? Black Dragon King, a shrewd businessman, knows better than anyone.
Reluctantly, Black Dragon King quickly made a decision. After hesitating for a moment, the once proud Black Dragon King finally deflated and sighed helplessly, "Alright, I concede! I'll give you the money, but you have to guarantee our safe return home."
What choice does Black Dragon King have? He is also quite desperate; he can't fight back and has fallen into a big pit. What good is it to not concede? Now the only wish of Black Dragon King is to return home safely.
"No problem!"
Fearless said, "Chinese players may hold grudges, but they are more forgiving than you think. As long as you hand over the mining area and disband the guild, no one will bother you."
"Is that so?"
Black Dragon King questioned, "No one will chase after me?"
"Rest assured!" Fearless smiled, "As long as I don't say anything, no one will know your name."
"I…"
Black Dragon King was speechless again.
Well, Fearless's words were obviously a threat to Black Dragon King; as long as you don't behave, I will make your name public.
After so many encounters with Fearless, Black Dragon King has a considerable understanding of him and knows that this guy is extremely cunning. With Fearless's character, he wouldn't have any psychological burden doing such things.
Under pressure, Black Dragon King had no choice but to painfully hand over the penalty money to Wang Yu beside Fearless.
Black Dragon King, being shrewd, knew exactly who to give the money to ensure his safe departure.
Watching Wang Yu take away the treasure chest, Black Dragon King felt his heart shatter (???`), realizing that he had come to the national server without doing anything else but act as a passing god of wealth...
The largest guild in the world was in his hands for just two hours before being thrown away, and the penalty money was even more pitiful; it hadn't even warmed up before being completely taken away.
Damn it, what did he come here for, to be a transport captain? Black Dragon King felt like crying without tears...
...
As Fearless expected, the players on the national server are very forgiving. Now that the mining area has been reclaimed, the Dark Alliance announced its dissolution, and no one bothered to kick a man when he was down, even for these disheveled and nameless Japanese players.
After receiving Black Dragon King's gold, Wang Yu casually released his permissions. Black Dragon King, dejected, led his subordinates on the journey home.
After Black Dragon King left, Wang Yu subconsciously opened the treasure chest to take a look at the amount of gold.
"Damn!"
Upon seeing the string of zeros behind the amount of gold, even Wang Yu, a calm expert, couldn't help but exclaim.
Two hundred million gold coins... two hundred million...
Damn, this group from the Quan Zhen Sect is also considered among the wealthiest in the game, yet the largest amount they've ever handled was only in the millions. Even when adding up the assets of the dozen or so members of the Quan Zhen Sect, it amounted to only tens of millions. He never expected that this treasure chest actually contained a full two hundred million gold coins.
It turns out that the penalty for breach of contract from these miner players amounted to twenty thousand gold coins.
No wonder these people didn't resign the second time after learning that the Dark Alliance was established by the Japanese; twenty thousand gold translates to nearly two hundred thousand RMB, which is their hard-earned money from over two months. Had the mining area not been taken, these miner players likely wouldn't have easily resigned.
"What's wrong? Is there a ancient equipment inside? Why the fuss?"
Seeing Wang Yu's expression, the Quan Zhen members couldn't help but gather around, stretching their necks in curiosity to look into the treasure chest. Unfortunately, since the chest was in Wang Yu's hands, they couldn't see anything inside.
"It's money…"
Wang Yu steadied himself and said.
"Damn! Have you never seen money before?"
The crowd collectively despised him...
"Two hundred million!"
Before the Quan Zhen members could finish their sentences, Wang Yu added, and while saying this, he opened the permissions.
"?(?||!? What?"
Upon seeing the amount of gold in the treasure chest, everyone in the Quan Zhen Sect was left standing dumbfounded. Vainglory and Ming Duo, these two useless guys, even started drooling, while Spring Halo muttered in shock, "Two hundred million? This is going to be a fortune…"
Even Fearless couldn't help but show a look of astonishment upon seeing the amount of gold.
At the same time, Fearless felt a hint of respect for Black Dragon King.
Two hundred million gold coins; he took it out just like that. Ordinary gamers would never have such boldness. This old fox really is someone who can accomplish great things.
"Look at you guys, acting like you've never seen the world!"
Seeing that mere two hundred million gold coins had frightened the Quan Zhen members so much (I feel a bit inflated too...), the nearby Evil Rampage couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Have you seen two hundred million gold?" Vainglory, that idiot, immediately countered without thinking.
"Uh…"
Hearing Vainglory's words, the Quan Zhen members glanced at him and quickly took a few steps back, distancing themselves from him with disdain.
"Damn, am I wrong?" Vainglory roared in anger.
"Little friend!" Evil Rampage said seriously, "In a certain sense, this two hundred million penalty is from me to Black Dragon King, and Black Dragon King then gave it to my brother… so you tell me, have I seen two hundred million gold?"
"I…"
Vainglory's face turned red, and he silently retreated to the side.
Evil Rampage continued, "Compared to this money, I'm more concerned about my brothers' livelihoods."
