Hu Die Lan
Chapter 262 Changed to Toll Station
Ye Xiu's answer was also straightforward, a standard truthful answer.
"As expected, it's you..." Nightwatch Cold Pool replied.
"Yes, it's me."
"With a record like that, you're the only one in the tenth server with that kind of ability," Nightwatch Cold Pool said.
"Not necessarily. If you let Lao Han spend some time on it, he could also achieve such results," Ye Xiu said.
"Lao Han?"
"Han Wenqing..."
"Sweat..." Nightwatch Cold Pool really didn't realize that "Lao Han" referred to Han Wenqing. Speaking of which, he hadn't fully adapted to the fact that Lord Grim was Ye Qiu. Personally, he had a pretty good impression of Lord Grim. As for Ye Qiu, this season's Ye Qiu was super lovable. Under his leadership, Team Excellent Era had suffered repeated defeats this season, which made the Tyranny fans extremely happy.
"Don't worry! I won't be breaking any more records in the future. I'll just sell strategies," Ye Xiu said.
"You don't even kill people yourself, how sinister," Nightwatch Cold Pool said.
"Don't say that. Everyone is just trying to make a living. You won't let us break records, so I'll sell strategies. You won't even let me sell strategies? Are you trying to leave us with no way to live?" Ye Xiu replied.
Nightwatch Cold Pool was speechless. Unable to beat Lord Grim's record, they joined forces to hunt him down. To be honest, this tactic was not at all honorable. However, if the guild wanted to develop and continue to grow stronger, they had to fight for dungeon records. The pursuit of Lord Grim was considered a means out in the open. Nightwatch Cold Pool had seen even more insidious and despicable methods. To be honest, the low level of morality in this virtual world of online games sometimes made one wonder if everyone was a Gemini, and that dark side of their personality had all run into the game.
"Uh, it's nothing. I just didn't want to lose so confusedly, so I came to you to confirm. Now I finally understand," Nightwatch Cold Pool replied.
"If you want to win, it's not like there's no chance," Ye Xiu replied.
"What's the method?" Nightwatch Cold Pool replied with lightning speed.
"Buy the strategy!" Ye Xiu replied.
"Sweat..." Nightwatch Cold Pool sweated again. In that instant, he realized that Lord Grim's strategy-selling business was probably even more terrifying than him acting as a substitute or kidnapping records. Because this time, the guilds really had no way to stop him. Selling strategies wasn't limited to within the game.
However, for Tyrannical Ambition's current situation, directly snatching back the record was undoubtedly the most manly and powerful way to strike back, even with a sense of desperate counterattack, which would definitely attract a lot of attention. Therefore, Nightwatch Cold Pool was immediately interested in this strategy.
"What kind of strategy is it?" Nightwatch Cold Pool asked.
"It's the strategy that Misty Rain used to surpass your record," Ye Xiu replied.
"The same one?"
"Of course."
"Then how can you guarantee that we can surpass them?" Nightwatch Cold Pool said.
"Did I guarantee anything? I only said you have a chance," Ye Xiu replied.
"You mean, the same strategy, and then we rely on our own performance?" Nightwatch Cold Pool said.
"That's right."
Nightwatch Cold Pool, as an experienced old player, immediately envisioned a scenario: From now on, in the tenth server, guilds that aspire to the dungeon record will first have to purchase a copy of the dungeon's strategy from Lord Grim, otherwise the guild's team will withdraw from the competition early without any competitiveness...
This guy! He's not a kidnapper now, he's running a toll booth. From now on, his strategy will be the necessary pass to obtain records!
"Can I see the strategy first?" Nightwatch Cold Pool asked.
"No."
"Why..."
"Because our relationship isn't very good. I'm afraid you won't give me the materials after reading it," Ye Xiu said frankly.
"Then what if I give you the materials and you don't give me the strategy?" Nightwatch Cold Pool retorted.
"Then you'll suffer a great loss," Ye Xiu replied.
"You..." Nightwatch Cold Pool was speechless. It was clear that this was a seller's market, and they were the ones begging for the strategy, not Lord Grim crying and shouting to sell the strategy to them. If they wanted the strategy, they had to provide the materials first. There was no other choice.
Nightwatch Cold Pool was depressed. He couldn't make up his mind. Jiang You was still around at this time, but Nightwatch Cold Pool didn't know if his emotions had stabilized. If he suddenly found out that Lord Grim was still in control of the tenth server's record, and even more stable than before, he was really afraid that Jiang You would vomit blood and be taken away by an ambulance.
"I'll log off at seven o'clock. You have fifteen minutes to consider," Ye Xiu sent a message.
"Of course, you can wait patiently until I go online again during the day. Even if you consider it until this time next year, if I'm still around, I can still sell it to you at any time, as long as you pay the materials." Before Nightwatch Cold Pool could reply, Ye Xiu had already sent another message.
"What materials do you want?" Nightwatch Cold Pool asked for the price.
"Wait a moment." Ye Xiu responded first, considered it carefully, and then replied with a list.
"These are all materials from the Luminous Forest dungeon," Nightwatch Cold Pool said after a quick glance.
"Yes! Speaking of which, congratulations on killing the Flame Witch Kashu today and getting the first kill in the Luminous Forest dungeon," Ye Xiu replied.
Nightwatch Cold Pool didn't answer. With the miserable situation in First Line Gorge, those two things had completely failed to make them happy.
"The Luminous Forest has only just started being farmed today, so I can't collect all the materials you want for the time being," Nightwatch Cold Pool didn't question the price of the materials. Ye Xiu had also estimated it. Although the types of materials were different compared to Misty Rain, the value was basically the same. Nightwatch Cold Pool obviously understood that this price was even lower than being a substitute, but what he said was indeed the truth. The Luminous Forest had only just started to be farmed, and each team only had three chances. Rare materials could only be obtained by encountering hidden Bosses, so they hadn't gotten much yet.
"Well, you should have some, right? Why don't you tell me your inventory, and I'll pick?" Ye Xiu replied.
"Please wait a moment..." Nightwatch Cold Pool gritted his teeth and replied to this message.
Should he go find the guild leader and the others to discuss it? Nightwatch Cold Pool was conflicted at this time. Currently, he was the only one who knew about the strategy. With his status, he could still buy the strategy by using materials. Then what? Rely on the guild leader and those experts to break the record? How would he explain it to them? That he wrote it himself? Then why didn't he take it out earlier? Did he just think of it? Then why didn't he think of it earlier? There was no way to explain it!
Just say he bought it, but don't say it's from Lord Grim?
Damn, he dares to buy it even if it's not from Lord Grim...
Nightwatch Cold Pool's balls hurt. What's this feeling of hating him so much, but also believing in his strength and having to rely on him?
After pondering for a few minutes, Nightwatch Cold Pool still felt that he had to discuss this matter with everyone, otherwise there was no way to explain the strategy clearly.
"Wait for me a little longer!" Nightwatch Cold Pool hurriedly sent Lord Grim a message, and then quickly contacted Jiang You and the others. He explained it briefly and then waited anxiously for Jiang You's reaction.
"So, this guy actually had this plan in mind long ago, so he casually pulled four casuals to play in the duel at night, and lost without caring?" Jiang You suddenly thought very far.
Nightwatch Cold Pool was stunned. At first, he didn't think of it that way, but after hearing what Jiang You said, he also felt that it was indeed the case, but he didn't know how to tell Jiang You.
"But he did say that our captain can also do what he can do," Nightwatch Cold Pool suddenly said.
"It would be too much of a burden to keep bothering the captain and the others," Jiang You said. On this matter, his mind was still calm.
"Then what do you say..." Nightwatch Cold Pool realized that Jiang You's mood seemed to be good at this time.
Jiang You was silent for a full minute, and finally squeezed out a message: "Give him the materials!"
"Okay!" Nightwatch Cold Pool had already made up his mind, and he didn't care about showing the materials for Lord Grim to pick. Their current situation was really difficult. It was all up to them whether or not to compete with Lord Grim and be taken advantage of in the end.
After receiving Jiang You's clear reply, Nightwatch Cold Pool turned around and contacted Lord Grim. He didn't say much, just two words: "Deal!"
"What materials do you have?" Ye Xiu asked.
Nightwatch Cold Pool flipped through the inventory. They really didn't have much from the Luminous Forest. They couldn't gather what Lord Grim wanted by name and number, but it was enough to exchange for the equivalent value.
At this time, Nightwatch Cold Pool was typing the list of materials in the message. As he typed, he suddenly had another idea. He erased most of the things that Lord Grim wanted on the list.
This trick was a little boring. With Lord Grim's ability, it was only a matter of time before he collected these materials. But Nightwatch Cold Pool was just feeling a little unhappy, so if you want something, we just happen to not have it. You can just use what you don't want to make do!
Ye Xiu looked at the list sent by Nightwatch Cold Pool and said nothing. He clicked on all the necessary ones, and then the others were exchanged for the equivalent value. Then he replied, and Nightwatch Cold Pool saw that there were no problems. The materials were sent quickly, and Ye Xiu also asked for an email address and immediately sent the strategy over. It was simply the version with the key points marked in red pen, which saved Tyrannical Ambition the trouble of finding Easter eggs.
Nightwatch Cold Pool treasured it as if he had found a treasure. He opened the document and was about to say something to Lord Grim when he found that the person had logged off.
Nightwatch Cold Pool suddenly panicked. Could he have been cheated? Was the strategy fake? He thought about quickly flipping through the strategy. After scanning the number of pages, he already felt a little tricked. How could there be such a long strategy?
But when he looked at it again, he found that this strategy was different from the average strategy. This strategy was so detailed that it could be described as nonsense.
"Damn, is it charged by the word?" Nightwatch Cold Pool despised it, but then he found the red marked parts. At first glance, he didn't pay much attention. But after scanning it twice, he immediately read the meaning.
"So that's how it is!" After reading this paragraph, Nightwatch Cold Pool suddenly understood.
"Did you get the strategy?" On the other side, Jiang You was already urging him.
