Chapter 864: Captain Don’t Open Fire’s Mind Games

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Captain Don’t Open Fire and Big Bear Deng Deng An were both Void Blade’s leaders. They had made plans with Quan Zhen Sect to complete quests today so Quan Zhen Sect was not surprised at their arrival.

Instead, Captain Don’t Open Fire and the rest suddenly came to Quan Zhen Sect’s territory and they felt as though they were entering a lion’s cave… It could not be helped. The last time they interacted, Void Blade was traumatised by their conmen ways. After all, they used some psychological tricks the last time.

“Wow, leader Captain, how punctual.” Fearless looked at his watch and it was half an hour before the agreed time so he was surprised at Captain Don’t Open Fire’s punctuality.

There were some people in the game, especially large guilds’ leaders, liked to be pretentious so they would make their grand entrance after the agreed time to ascertain their status. Captain Don’t Open Fire had power in the game and was rich and a typical young master in real life so Fearless was surprised at his punctuality. This lad did have his good points after all.

Captain Don’t Open Fire smiled and said, “It’s a habit. So, is everyone ready?”

Fearless looked at Wang Yu who was caressing his sword and the rest of Quan Zhen Sect who was sitting upright, then said with a smile, “Of course, we have been waiting for this day.”

Obviously, being punctual was also Quan Zhen Sect’s basic quality.

“Alright, then everyone, enter the group.” Captain Don’t Open Fire saw that he and Quan Zhen Sect had something in common so he smiled and sent everyone the team invitation.

Seeing that Captain Don’t Open Fire sent the invite, Quan Zhen Sect was stunned then looked at Fearless before asking on the chat, “This time Fearless doesn’t want to be the leader?”

Usually, the team leader also took on the command role and no one minded that as after all, Captain Don’t Open Fire invited Quan Zhen Sect so he would not mess them up. The most important thing was the authority to split the equipment. It was always the leader’s so if Quan Zhen Sect helped others, they needed to have the leader’s role.

Fearless did not reply the rest and said on their guild chat, “Enter!”

Although everyone did not know what Fearless was up to, everyone knew that Fearless would never lose out so they did not hesitate and entered the team.

Captain Don’t Open Fire was indeed a filthy rich man. After everyone entered the team, he took out a silk scroll then the scene changed. Everyone was sent to the level 70 practice area, Sanguine Maple Forest in the east of Twilight City.

Damn, this Mass Teleportation Scroll is now worth several thousand gold coins apiece. It was just a mere twenty minutes walk and yet Captain Don’t Open Fire threw several thousands of gold away. He indeed had too much money.

Everyone arrived at the Maple Forest’s white grounds but grey haze surrounded them. In the haze was level-70 monsters roaming around except for this spot so it was obvious that these coordinates were chosen intentionally.

Captain Don’t Open Fire also felt Quan Zhen Sect’s disbelief at how he casually used the scroll so he explained, “There’s no other way. The level-70 monsters are all around. It will be too troublesome to clear them all so it is better to spend some money and save us some time.”

“Haha!” Fearless laughed and praised, “I admire people like Leader Captain who cherish time. Let’s not wait anymore to enter the dungeon.”

“Ok!” Captain Don’t Open Fire nodded then walked to the haze, reached an arm in and suddenly, everyone was swallowed by the haze.

<System Notification: You have discovered a trial dungeon, Treasures’ Hidden Ground.>

Treasures’ Hidden Ground was a typical cave dungeon. The darkness and occasional wind whistles made the atmosphere very scary. After entering the dungeon, Captain Don’t Open Fire pointed to the front and told Wang Yu and the rest, “This dungeon’s monsters are very smart, we…”

“This is not important!” Before Captain Don’t Open Fire finished speaking, Fearless interrupted and said, “Before we start fighting, I need to clarify something. Although you are the leader, later I will be responsible for allocating the equipment. It definitely has to be me, do you understand?”

Captain Don’t Open Fire understood Fearless so he smiled and said, “Of course. If this dungeon was not an exclusive quest, I will throw you the leader role.”

“What? An exclusive quest? Why didn’t you say it earlier?”

Once Captain Don’t Open Fire said that, Fearless and the rest of Quan Zhen Sect’s faces changed.

An exclusive quest was different from the usual quest system of normal and hidden quests.

It was like those who refresh the BOSS for the quest, an exclusive quest was birthed from quests but once it was finished, it would disappear forever. Only those who were in the quest could enter the dungeon.

Other than that, these monsters and exclusive quests which came about due to quests, had an extremely strong special characteristic. That was that they rarely dropped any items other than quest items.

Fearless had told Captain Don’t Open Fire that he would have all the things from this quest other than the quest item. Hence, now they were going to work for free.

“I said before, it is a dungeon quest.” Captain Don’t Open Fire opened his arms with a wrongfully accused face, looking quite smug.

“Rubbish! This is warped logic!” Fearless said anxiously.

Dungeon quests and exclusive dungeon quests were two different concepts. Fearless had cheated so many people and now it was his turn. Quan Zhen Sect was a bunch of people unwilling to lose out so why would they work for free? Seeing Captain Don’t Open Fire’s attitude, they took out their weapons, wanting to silence him.

Captain Don’t Open Fire saw that Quan Zhen Sect was panicking, he quickly said, “You guys have accepted the quest and I have also paid the deposit. If you back out now, you will have to pay me back twice the amount.”

“Pay then, we don’t care!” Fearless copied Captain Don’t Open Fire and opened his arms then said, “Recently, we have money. Several tens of thousands of gold coins is not significant.”

“You, how shameless can you be! How can you just break the contract like this!”

Captain Don’t Open Fire thought that the greedy Fearless would give up and help with the dungeon when he heard that he would have to pay twice the deposit amount but Fearless rejected it, so he began to panic.

Captain Don’t Open Fire was not experienced enough. Seeing his expression, Fearless showed a victorious smile and said, “We are willing to pay twice the amount so how are we shameless? I’ll sue for defamation.”

“I…” Captain Don’t Open Fire was lost for words then gave in, “State your price. How much for you to help us?”

“No bargaining, 100,000. Now that I am suspicious of you, pay up first!” Fearless said with a smile.

“You!!” Hearing Fearless’ terms, Captain Don’t Open Fire was furious. He had the money but he was not gullible. One hundred thousand for a dungeon, it was way more expensive than paying professional players for overtime.

“What? If you are unwilling, we will pay you back now then leave.”
