“Are they not afraid of my revenge if they laid hands on my team members?”

“Apparently after the next system update, cities will no longer be a safe zone. I doubt these guild leaders will hide in basement forever,” Lu Li said coldly. “If a guild leader gets killed in front of so many people……”

Water Fairy shuddered upon the thought.

Most guild executives were once experts in the past, but that was all a long time ago.

The weight of guild affairs and the life of peace and luxury had caused all of them to lose their sense of battle and determination.

Sorrowless, the number one player from the past had been killed.

If the members of Xin Xin Mercenary Group were killed, all they would lose was EXP. However, if a guild executive was to die while being helplessly pounded onto the floor in front of a crowd, they would lose their prestige.

Levels were easy to gain, but the same could not be said about prestige.

Since ancient times, grace and power had always been the key to leadership. None of the executives from top guilds had ever given up on implanting a reliable image in the hearts of their guild members.

“It’s a good thing we never planned to cause you any trouble.”

Water Fairy wasn’t afraid of Lu Li, but neither did she think of him as an easy target.

Even though he didn’t have the advantages of numbers or background, he wasn’t afraid of anything.

He was too rational, so it was unwise to threaten him with his team members. He wasn’t the passionate type who would die together with them.

Even if you were to wipe out his entire team, he would still remain concealed in the dark, patiently waiting his chance and once the time came, nothing would stop him besides death.

Most importantly, he was too skilled.

Two days ago, Water Fairy might have challenged Lu Li to examine her improvement.

However, after Lu Li killed Blood Dagger and Sorrowless, the once fearless girl who stood at the top cowered before him.

“What’s your price? You should know, this is no easy dungeon,” Lu Li said.

“Don’t demand too much. Drizzle Court has backed out this time from the faction of people who are against you,” Water Fairy pleaded.

“Oh, seems like those who are interested in shutting me down all come from a strong background.” Although Lu Li said this, he honestly felt no pressure at all.

“Since yesterday, there has been someone to take up your bounty at different times of the day. The coordinates kept on refreshing,” Water Fairy said casually. “This time, your old rival received a lot of support.”

“The Imperial Secret Service,” Lu Li sighed.

“This information is quite valuable, right?” Water Fairy asked.

“Don’t expect me to hand over the cheat guide just for this piece of information; I really couldn’t care less about the players from Imperial Secret Service. As a thief who has learned Gale Steps, no one can stop me if I want to go.”

Dozens of Thieves in the Glory Capital couldn’t do anything to him, let alone those from the Imperial Secret Service.

“I wasn’t expecting you to give me the guides for free. I was just hoping for you to not ask for too much.” Water Fairy was a little uncomfortable about talking business in a game.

“Ice Spike, Nethershard, Dreadtusk, Plagued Spring……” Lu Li was already prepared and listed out a bunch of rare materials. He was worried that Water Fairy might not be able to remember everything, so he even sent the list again by text.

The list included materials he needed to make his dagger, materials he needed to upgrade his ring and materials to make equipment for others in the Xin Xin Mercenary Group.

“Oi, enough.”

Even the usually cold and expressionless Water Fairy had become irritated. If someone was next to her, they would lament, “No wonder why people always like pretty girls; they look beautiful even when they’re angry.”

“Just a few more. White Wolf Fang, Ancient Metal of Nature……”

Lu Li finally finished; he had listed dozens of rare materials in total.

“Lu Li, don’t overstep your boundaries,” Water Fairy angrily said.

“If you can supply fifteen of these thirty-nine materials, , I’ll give you the entire guide. If not, it’s a hundred gold coins for each material that’s missing. Of course, you can also just give me 1500 gold coins.”

Lu Li was steadfast, as if he wasn’t facing a rare beauty.

Even if Water Fairy was rich, she wouldn’t spend 1500 gold coins on materials.

It’s not that the guide was unworthy, but that it was more profitable to do the exchange with rare materials. A lot of the rare materials on the list were less than one hundred gold coins in value.

“Give me your answer within half an hour. Otherwise, I’m off to level up,” Lu Li added.

“Can a single items stack?” Water Fairy asked.

“No, besides the White Wolf Fang which I need two of. I only need one of each of the other materials.” What Lu Li currently needed the most were these thirty-nine different materials; he had the rest of the missing materials in their storage.

“I’m going to go and check how many of these I can acquire. I’ll contact you half an hour later.”

Water Fairy was a decisive person.

$150,000 for a cheat guide. It was hard to determine if this was worth it.

For an average team, the entire profit they could make from the Howling Caves would be no more than $10,000 (drop rate greatly decreases after the first clear).

However, for a guild with thousands of teams, their losses would be made up if around a dozen of these teams were able to make a breakthrough.

Additionally, a cheat guide for Heroic-mode would make an important point of reference for the Difficult and Nightmare modes of the dungeon.

As well as this, passing the entire dungeon would be very profitable for them in terms of advertising.

“I won’t be waiting around once the time passes,” Lu Li said, then paused and added, “Thank you for your intelligence.”

The first half sounded cold, but the second half was said in a thankful tone.

If it wasn’t for the information that Water Fairy had brought, he would’ve asked for a higher price. He would have asked for at least half of the forty rare materials, or 2000 gold coins.

After half an hour, Water Fairy punctually met up with Lu Li.

“Here are seven of the materials. We’re still missing eight, so we’ll give you eight-hundred gold coins.” Water Fairy didn’t bother to exchange formalities and traded with Lu Li.

Lu Li took one look, and was no surprised to find that all the materials were fairly common. The materials for his Dagger Mold were included, but none of the materials he needed to upgrade his ring were there.

If his ring levelled up again, it would become a legendary equipment. Even in his previous life, legendary equipment was a rare sight, let alone at this point in time where most people still used Steel-grade gear.

Any kind of material was rare and hard to get.

Besides the seven materials, there were also another 800 gold coins. The exchange rate was currently around 1:100, so this was the equivalent of about $80,000.

“What are you trying to do that requires so many materials?” Water Fairy was extremely curious.

“Making equipment for the members of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group.” Lu Li didn’t try to hide anything. He then coughed and said, “I have a forging hammer of the best quality. It doesn’t forge anything under Superior grade.”

“What? How is that possible?” Water Fairy widened her pretty eyes.

Others might have trouble finding Molds for gears, but this was no problem for her. She already had the gears made and was wearing them.

However, the two pieces that she had made out of Silver-grade molds were only of Fine quality. The qualities were as follows: Fine, Superior, Exquisite and Perfect, with Fine quality being the lowest.
