Chapter 27: The Indispensable Young Master Dai
"Brother Dao, I heard that you killed Young Master Dai so much he's questioning his existence. The players who called him got cursed out, it seems he's too scared to log in, maybe he's given up. In our tribe player group, Brother Dao is still the number one boss."
Upon hearing this, Small Knife frowned slightly. That's not good, while I have some savings, I can't just sit and eat up everything. My childhood friends' salaries still depend on this big spender.
While thinking, he took out a pretty good quality stone-made spearhead and said, "We won't be buying wood anymore, let's buy stone, and I'll give you a task."
"Brother Dao!" Slutty Mouth cried with a long face, "Players can't collect stones. I've asked around, those high-level materials that meet the requirements can only be split with battle, relying on Blood Qi power and a Bone Knife worth tens of thousands of Bone Coins. In our tribe, only a few esteemed witches can afford stone houses."
Is that so? Small Knife pondered, finding rubble is easy, but it can't replace large standard stones.
Slutty Mouth looked glum, knowing that wood trading was over. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still very disappointed.
Just with this, in just a few days, he made tens of thousands.
Small Knife thought about it and asked, "What's the current buying price for Bone Coins?"
"It's been driven up to 150 RMB each by Young Master Dai." Slutty Mouth said wryly. Thanks to making a lot recently, he was able to afford buying some, to purchase beast meat to eat and maintain his level advantage. Now he's already Level 12, ranking in the top five among players.
Players had long realized the importance of eating, but to fill up on two meals of beast meat a day, it took at least four to six Bone Coins. This was because everyone's Power was weak and still like children's; clearly, the stronger you are, the more you eat.
Currently, besides the extremely risky hunting, sharpening bone spearheads was the most profitable, but even the best players, the first group to survive the newbie trials with Small Knife, only managed after being seriously injured.
He is now extremely skilled in sharpening, able to make four a day, and even if not all ordinary quality, it could only exchange for four Bone Coins.
"A purchasing price of 150, four make 600 RMB a day, nearly over 20,000 a month in high income. But there's only this one awesome player."
Small Knife thought, he didn't lack Bone Coins himself, but couldn't possibly exchange large amounts for cash.
So he inquired, besides Young Master Dai, only three or four people occasionally bought Bone Coins to exchange for beast meat. Most couldn't bear to part with them.
"100 RMB per Bone Coin, you can get as many as you want from me. You're the middleman, how much you sell them for is your business, but don't leak my name." Small Knife pondered and said.
Slutty Mouth was stunned, then overjoyed: "Dad, you're my real dad!"
"Shut up! Even joking has its limits, no more of that talk in the future."
"Yes, boss! Brother Dao."
"Hmm, start with 100 Bone Coins, no, 20, 20 should be enough. Young Master Dai isn't logging in, even this price seems high." After the initial joy, Slutty Mouth seemed to get a hold of the situation.
"That's why it's up to your skills." Small Knife finally revealed his fox tail.
The two whispered to each other.
Slutty Mouth's eyes lit up, giving a thumbs up, "Brother Dao is still the best, I'm on it."
Slutty Mouth hurriedly left.
With Young Master Dai not logging in, The wind blows cool on the ass felt life was dull. Since he died to protect Young Master Dai last time, Dai threw 30,000 at him and even gave him a personal phone number, becoming an unquestionable confidant.
The wind blows cool on the ass woke up laughing from dreams, with such a big Golden Leg, but now that Golden Leg was beaten into seclusion, possibly relocating his spawn point.
Such a pity.
He called offline, but got scolded. It seemed his second noble sacrifice was for nothing.
"Brother Liang, I've got a big secret here!" Slutty Mouth came over.
The wind blows cool on the ass gave him a look, listlessly sharpening a stone spearhead.
"It's the secret of that bull's skill explosion."
"That guy paid a heavy price to shock Young Master Dai." Slutty Mouth said mysteriously.
This made The wind blows cool on the ass's eyes light up, "A heavy price? I knew it, how could he be so powerful, killing our five men with one spear? Tell me more."
"Heh heh, Young Master Dai knows and will definitely regain his momentum! You expose this secret and you'll surely be favored by Young Master Dai." Slutty Mouth had a mischievous grin.
The two bargained, finally settling at 12,000.
Having learned the secret, The wind blows cool on the ass barely held on until he logged off, then immediately called.
"Get lost!" Young Master Dai, who was drinking with a beauty in a private room, hung up several times, the call still persisted, cursed a word, and hung up again.
Just seeing this kid's name put him in a bad mood, recalling that unpleasant moment.
Thinking about it made him feel stifled, it was definitely cheating, and complaints were useless?
The phone kept ringing insistently.
"Damn it! Kid, give this Young Master a reason, or don't blame me for being ruthless." Young Master Dai said irritably.
"Young Master Dai, I've been working hard these days to complete tasks and cozy up to NPCs, increasing favorability. I finally exhausted my favorability and learned a huge secret. That Small Knife was deceiving you. He doesn't have such incredible power. To shock you, Young Master Dai, he paid the price of minus three levels and weakened for three days to unleash that terrifying power. That kind of attack can't be performed continuously, it's a big move."
This made Young Master Dai pause, involuntarily curling his lips: "No wonder, I said it, how could a player who's played for a few more days be that powerful. It's not right."
"He's burning the boats, trying to scare you away, Young Master Dai, because he knows if it drags on, he's no match for you." The wind blows cool on the ass flattered.
"Hehe, can this Young Master be scared away? It's just that two friends came, and I had to entertain them. As for hanging up once or twice, does it matter? Young Master Dai never cared. The one who laughs last is the winner, I enjoy the process."
"Exactly, exactly! Young Master Dai is in a different dimension from us."
The wine became less tasty, the beauty looked dull, seemingly entering sage time.
All in his mind was that incredibly real game, as if he'd traveled to the Otherworld.
......!
That night, Young Master Dai logged in.
"Welcome back, Young Master Dai." Arranged by The wind blows cool on the ass, players lined both sides of the cave entrance, all muscle kids bending to salute.
"Haha! No need for formalities, no need for formalities." Young Master Dai laughed as he walked out.
"Keep an eye on him, that Small Knife, I'll make sure he can't stay in my tribe." Young Master Dai said loudly.
"That's right, if our Young Master Dai hadn't entered the Second World late, how would he have his moment in the sun? Relying on a high level and strong skills can only last for a while...!"
