Some players who did not understand the situation burst into laughter.
[Who is so arrogant to say that he can lead a team to clear Dark Swamp at level 14? Is the system glitching? Hahaha…]
[Brothers, ignore the idiot above. The one who posted the announcement is Hades. He has single-handedly suppressed the Wolf Guild. His damage is insane…]
[Hey, brother, didn’t you see the news on the front page? How many unions and professional players have formed a team to clear Dark Swamp only to be wiped out? They’re almost level 20 but they still failed. Do you think that a level 14 wizard’s team made up of random players can compete with those top players?]
[Hahaha, is this Hades crazy about gold coins? Only a retard would give him 100,000 gold coins…]
…
Looking at the messages in the chatbox, James Williams was not angry. After all, only he knew his current level. It was not difficult to clear Dark Swamp.
In the Dark Swamp.
Tina and the members of the Rose Union had spent half a day researching and trying before they finally saw the first dungeon boss of Dark Swamp, the Demon Knight. The boss merely raised the scepter in its hand high up, summoned a group of monsters, and drowned Tina and her members.
Tina used 5,000 gold coins to resurrect the five people and sighed deeply. They were all level 16 and 17 players and their pets had reached level 15, but they still could not clear it.
She touched her pet dejectedly. Tina’s pet was a hunting dog, and it was obediently laying beside her.
At this moment, when she wanted to look at the guide again, she happened upon James Williams promoting on the public screen.
[Ding!]
[Tina from the Rose Union has sent you a friend request.]
James Williams glanced at the message and clicked Agree.
[Tina: Hades, can you guarantee that you can get the first clear?]
Seeing Tina’s message, James Williams’ lips curled into a smile. It seemed that this woman had a strong obsession with the global banner that would come after the first clear.
One had to know that after the first clear, not only would the reputation of their union increase, but they would also receive a large number of union buffs, as well as a large number of equipment and materials. After obtaining the skill books and special items, the difference between them and the other unions would be immediately revealed.
[Hades: It shouldn’t be a problem.]
After reading Hades’ message, Tina was also considering it. She could not guarantee a win even if she spent the money now. If he failed, wouldn’t her 400,000 dollars go down the drain? After some thought, she decided against it.
James Williams knew that Tina was a smart woman. She did not have absolute confidence, and she did not want to waste her money. Well, this time, he would let her witness his strength.
[Ding!]
[You have a friend request.]
[Tycoon has requested to add you as a friend.]
[Tycoon: Brother Hades, I’m interested. Since you are leading the team, I want to join!]
Seeing that someone was actually interested to join, James Williams did not know whether he should cry or laugh.
Then, he approved the friend request and pulled him into his union.
[Ding!]
[You have successfully invited Tycoon to join the union.]
[Player level: Level 13. Class: warrior. Officially joined Zero.]
Looking at the notification, James Williams felt like vomiting blood.
This person was only at level 13. It had been so long since the opening of the server, and this player named Tycoon had only reached level 13. How did he play? His equipment was also ordinary, he only had a set of silver equipment just like James Williams.
Since he had spent so much money for James Williams to bring him to clear the dungeon, he did not want to mistreat him. James Williams then messaged him.
[Hades: Tycoon, I have 100 giant mutant spider eyes here. Do you want to buy some to level up? Your level is a little low.]
When he heard that his boss was going to sell something to him, he was already slightly excited. Moreover, his boss was actually selling giant mutant spider eyes. One had to know that killing one spider was already of great difficulty, yet his boss had 100 of them!
[Hades: How about this, I won’t cheat you. 20 gold coins for one, that’s a good deal, right?]
Tycoon immediately agreed.
[Tycoon: Good, good, boss. Now that I have these 100 spider eyes, my level will definitely catch up.]
[Ding!]
[You have received 2,000 gold coins from the player, Tycoon.]
[You have received 100 giant mutant spider eyes from Hades.]
Tycoon excitedly took the 100 giant mutant spider eyes needed to complete the mission.
After he exchanged the spider eyes for the mission rewards, his level rose from level 13 to level 15 and a half.
James Williams looked at the items in his backpack. It was time for him to upgrade the full set of silver equipment he was wearing. Otherwise, he would be too shabby as the union president.
After that, James Williams also remembered that the equipment he had obtained from the giant mutant spiders had not been sold yet, thus, he sent a message to Tina.
[Hades: Hey, woman, I have some pretty good items. Do you want to consider buying them? Otherwise, I will sell them in the Novice Village.]
Seeing the message from Hades, Tina was stunned. She randomly remembered the equipment and skill books that James Williams was selling in the Novice Village.
At the thought that her union members still lacked equipment and skills, she smiled and replied.
[Tina: Alright, I’ve seen all your equipment. It’s pretty good, but you can’t cheat your friends, right? How about this, I’ll take it for 15,000.]
James Williams was not unreasonable. He could accept this price. He would only rip her off next time!
