Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge
Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Wang Fu’s RecruitmentChapter 144: Chapter 144: Wang Fu’s Recruitment
Both instances had their merits, but the single-player survival instance had too many uncertainties, so Zi Liyuan turned his attention to the “Orc Invasion” instance.
Like “Guard The Energy Crystal,” it was a team-based defense instance of the tower-defense genre, but it spawned a larger number of monsters at once, the only difference being the slower refresh rate of the Boss.
“Let’s give it a try, if it doesn’t work out, I can always quit and choose ‘Battle of Survival’ instead,” he said to himself.
As Zi Liyuan was about to join the queue at the window to buy a ticket, Wang Fu arrived with Xiao Liu in tow.
“I am the administrator of the Instance Home, Wang Fu. Would you, Zi Liyuan, spare a moment to talk?”
Zi Liyuan was surprised by Wang Fu’s appearance, but since the other party had introduced himself, he was very willing to make an acquaintance.
“Hello, may I know what Mr. Wang is looking for me for?”
He nodded and followed the administrator to a reception room, his face full of curiosity.
This Instance Home manager was an official staff member. Finding him meant they certainly had checked his information, so he directly asked what the situation was.
“It is somewhat presumptuous to invite you for a talk so suddenly, but I find myself in a position where I must inform you of a matter,” Wang Fu explained.
Xiao Liu, very observant, brewed a cup of tea for each of them and then quietly exited the reception room. She closed the door behind her and stood guard outside to prevent anyone from approaching and eavesdropping.
“Young friend, when you were running the ‘Guard The Energy Crystal’ instance yesterday, you overtaxed the source of the instance, nearly causing it to collapse. As a result, maintenance had to be performed, which is considered damaging to the interests of the Great Xia Empire. Therefore, we hope that when you are playing instances at the Instance Home in the future, you could be a bit more gentle. For this, we from the Instance Home can offer you certain privileges and benefits.”
Others buy tickets to play instances in a straightforward exchange of money for services, without any clear rules stated. Hence, it was not Zi Liyuan’s fault that the instance was overtaxed to the point of nearly collapsing.
However, to prevent the same issue from occurring again, Wang Fu had no choice but to clarify the matter with him and was willing to offer considerable privileges and benefits within his ability.
Of course, part of this was also due to the fact that they saw potential in him, for a national high-achiever who had broken the admission records of Dragon Academy, even if he belonged to a death-related profession, was worth cultivating a relationship with.
“I see, I deeply apologize for the trouble I’ve caused to your side,” Zi Liyuan expressed his apologies.
The other party had been very fair not to trouble him, and they were even offering compensation; naturally, Zi Liyuan wasn’t foolish enough to refuse.
“If you understand, then that’s good. Later, I’ll have Xiao Liu enter your information into the official candidate list. Then, you will be able to directly access various exclusive instances for officials. However, I hope you keep this matter confidential and not broadcast it,” Wang Fu requested.
Being in charge of the Instance Home, with an annual quota to grant a few candidates official status benefits, Wang Fu didn’t hesitate to give one to him.
“Thank you, Manager Wang. I wonder if the Instance Home or yourself are involved in purchasing instance loot like materials, items, equipment, and rewards?” Zi Liyuan inquired further.
The mention of internal staff benefit instances immediately sounded like great opportunities to Zi Liyuan. His mind quickly understood that this was the other party giving him an advantage, with a strong flavor of wooing him.
With this in mind, he could also reciprocate the favor, further closing the gap in their relationship.
What could be a method where both sides cooperated for mutual gain and bound their interests together, thereby bridging their relationship even faster?
“Oh, it seems that you’ve had some good gain before. Yes, the spiritual energy crystal is indeed valuable. I assume the rewards from the instance for you are no less than tens of thousands. Are you looking to sell them?” Wang Fu asked.
Lingyuan crystals are treasures that can speed up the progress of cultivation techniques, and they’re rarely sold. Wang Fu was somewhat interested.
“The Lingyuan crystal is just one of the items for trade. Manager Wang, you might want to take a look at this list of trade goods.”
Although his Spatial Backpack was large, it couldn’t stand being cleared out after every dungeon, even packing up and taking away the corpses, especially after the “Guard The Energy Crystal” dungeon, where he had picked clean even the minor monsters’ corpses.
He was really like a freak obsessed with collecting corpses. The only consolation was that the mechanism for minor monsters might be different from that of a BOSS; as long as they were of the same type, race, and level, and their bodies were not mutilated or damaged, they could be stacked like item materials.
One storage slot could hold up to 200 as a set, so having collected tens of thousands of bodies from the dungeon, he only occupied nearly a hundred storage slots. It was actually those BOSS corpses thrown into the Spatial Backpack that occupied one slot each, giving him the impression that his backpack space was not enough.
Zi Liyuan directly sent Wang Fu a list of items.
Lingyuan crystals x 36,800 pieces, massive amounts of dungeon materials… several silver hero equipment… tens of thousands of blue rare equipment… tens of thousands of green equipment…
Wang Fu looked at the list, his eyes twitching uncontrollably, and he was at a loss for words.
Damn, he had underestimated this kid; this youngster was far more formidable than the information he had seen!
The quantity of materials and equipment was absolutely sufficient to support a shop selling low-level equipment for a year.
At the same time, Wang Fu was also very tempted. His Wang family also ran a business, backed by the dungeon home, and they had private cooperations with multiple teams, so they could get their hands on some good merchandise.
But the low-end goods displayed by Zi Liyuan were of high quality in their category, considered superior or top-notch. If he could take them all, his family would definitely make a large profit and could even garner a good reputation.
“Young friend Zi Liyuan, I, Wang, am a few years older than you. If you don’t mind, just call me Uncle Wang. For the items on this list, Uncle Wang is willing to purchase them at 80% of the market price. What do you think?”
Those companies that specialize in purchasing goods usually buy at only 50% to 70% of market value.
He was willing to offer 80% for two reasons: one was to build a relationship, and the other was that the quantity was large and of decent quality, which could also bring a good reputation for his family’s shop.
As for the massive amount of dungeon materials, they were even easier to sell, such as the tasks needing them posted by the mercenary guilds. Anyway, he had many connections and wasn’t worried about not being able to dispose of them.
“Then, Uncle Wang, it’s a pleasure to do business!”
Strike while the iron’s hot; this immediately brought the two of them much closer.
“Liyuan, I see you’ve also reached LV60 and are about to undertake the Third Order advancement quest.
But Uncle Wang must remind you, the Third Order is a watershed mark, and not just for practitioners, but for BOSSes as well.
Uncle Wang has seen your data before. For the first two advancements, you chose the hero difficulty and even faced a Lord Boss, didn’t you?
If you want to continue challenging a Lord Boss for your Third Order advancement quest, you must be fully prepared.
The mechanics of the Third Order Lord Boss in the advancement dungeon have completely changed; the most important being the removal of mental constraints on the BOSS.
This means the aggro list is virtually useless, causing many geniuses who didn’t know the truth to be instantly killed by the BOSS upon entering.”
