I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1396 - 1397: Spending Money to Save a Life

"But Boss, in terms of manpower and funds..."

"I’ll handle this matter, you focus on recruitment. You are all experienced players, your direct involvement in recruitment should attract quite a few people." You paused for a moment and continued, "However, there’s one thing you must remember, our guild does not accept rubbish. Only those with ability, regardless of level, will be accepted across the board."

"Yes." Feng Yujian saw the look in your eyes that invigorated him; it’s a gaze called ambition. Hidden within your eyes is a kind of domineering aura, although faint, it’s enough to energize Feng Yujian for a while, and he believes that you will absolutely not remain mediocre; you are a Hungry Wolf stalking prey, and a dragon lurking in its cradle.

"Boss, what should we name our guild?"

You paused and then smiled: "Dragon Cliff."

Feng Yujian nodded upon hearing.

"Go register tomorrow, I’ll go raise some money."

No one knows where you’ll gather funds, Feng Yujian watched you rush towards the Southern area, secretly thinking that someone will certainly be out of luck this time. Feng Yujian guessed rightly, someone was indeed doomed.

You spread your wings in the night sky, flying swiftly under the cover of darkness.

To the south of Zhulu City lies the neutral city of Roland City, and between them is a range of hills—a paradise for robbers, mountain bandits, and all manner of criminals. This is a no-man’s land; there are no stationed armies, no Bounty Hunters venture here, the robbers gradually establish their Kingdom here.

The monster levels here range from 65 to 85. Although the levels are not high, any mission involving this area is a team mission. For the time being, no team has the ability to enter this range. You slowly land in the square of a village, where many mountain bandits gather for a bonfire party. As you descend from the sky, everyone stares directly at you.

Surveying the surroundings, you coldly gaze at everyone: "Who is the Boss?"

"I am." A burly man stands up, glaring at you. Village Leader: Level 90, attributes hidden, Special Ability, none.

"Hand over your money." You always speak bluntly, and this occasion is no exception. But at this utterance, all the mountain bandits burst out laughing.

"Someone actually dares to rob bandits!"

"Is this kid foolish?"

"Kid, go wash your behind before coming back. Our Boss favors fair-skinned men."

You said nothing, and under the astonished cries of the crowd, the Inverse Scale appeared. In just one encounter, over ten mountain bandits were instantly killed. Unfortunately, the ground only yielded a few copper coins; these bandits were really quite poor.

"Less talk, buy your lives with cash."

"Elder Brother, Boss is serious this time!"

"That knife looks fierce indeed; could it be the legendary Fire God Knife?"

"Nonsense, can the Fire God Knife really be that big?"

Regardless of the crowd’s discussions, the mountain bandit leader stood up, looking coldly at you: "I have money, but you must kill us all first!" Saying so, the mountain bandit leader lifted a large axe from behind him, shouting, "Kill him, a reward of Ten Gold Coins!"

"Ten Gold Coins, huh, last time killing that so-called Hero was only ten silver coins."

"Truly Boss is famous for being stingy."

"But do we have the guts to kill him?"

"He seems more fierce than our Boss, let’s disband; I heard Sky Mountain Wolf’s boss treats his henchmen well, let’s try our luck there."

Upon hearing his underlings wanting to leave, the bandit leader hurriedly shouted: "Eleven Gold Coins!"

"Boss, keep those coins for buying a coffin." A bandit carrying a Big Blade laughed, brushing past the bandit leader.

You sneered and said, "Without minions for meat shields, do you think you can win against the Inverse Scale in my hand?"

Looking around, the originally crowded open space had only a few people left, but their expressions didn’t seem to intend to help the bandit leader, as if they were waiting for the bandit leader to drop equipment.

"Damn it, I’ll fight you!" The bandit leader just took one step; your Inverse Scale had already pierced the bandit leader’s heart.

"Too slow." Another instant kill; the power of the Inverse Scale definitely rivals that of the Ming Ye. However, unlike the Ming Ye, the Inverse Scale doesn’t have strong inherent power. It strengthens along with its owner; Ming Ye becomes stronger by absorbing the enemy’s Essence Energy. In a sense, using Ming Ye feels more like being used by Ming Ye.

The bandit leader was immediately consumed by the flames of the Inverse Scale, then dropped a key and a piece of paper. You picked up the two items and said to a mountain bandit on the sideline: "Tell me where he stashed his treasures, I’ll give you one hundred gold coins."

Upon hearing the reward of a hundred gold coins, that bandit was elated and cheerfully led you into the bandit leader’s room. Finally, behind the bandit leader’s bed, you discovered a hidden passage. You didn’t allow that bandit to follow you into the passage. You casually gave him a hundred gold coins and then told him to leave.

All the bandits here had seen your methods; none wanted to become the second bandit leader. So, for a time, everyone took some valuables and left.

The passage was narrow; you had to stoop slightly to get through. As you reached a corner, you found your path blocked by an iron door. You instinctively used the key to unlock it, and sure enough, the iron door opened, revealing your eyes full of golden light! Before you was a room filled with Gold Coins and jewelry piled high like small mountains.

You didn’t rush to touch these jewels. There’s indeed a lot of money here, but you’re more concerned about where a small bandit leader acquired such a wealth. After thinking for a moment, you closed the iron door again and contacted Feng Yujian, asking him to bring people over to move things. Feng Yujian, being an experienced Jianghu society member, did not disappoint you. Although the monster levels here were much higher than theirs, and strong in group attacks, everything was unfavorable for them, yet Feng Yujian brought over thirty people here safely.

You nodded upon seeing them, inwardly praising your luck.

You led everyone directly into the room that glittered with gold. As everyone entered the room, they were relieved to find no one showed a glimmer of greed. In their eyes, these riches seemed no different than ordinary foliage. Those who came were originally Feng Yujian’s subordinates. The forty people you led had levels too low to be sent here to die.

"Leader, these riches..."

"Take them all back. Have the surgeon come to help too; I’ll find someone to deal with these treasures." Saying so, you transformed into a beam of white light and vanished from everyone’s sight.

Back in the real world, you saw Zhao’er and Fadi busy with embroidery. Zhao’er doing needlework was understandable, but Fadi doing it was a bit unusual. Fadi’s hands were quite large; at first glance, she seemed clumsy, resembling a burly man. However, she appeared to work diligently, her beautiful face adorned with a hint of tranquility.

Seeing both women watching you, you smiled gently at them and said, "Continue. I’m going to find Tuan Tuan."
