Chapter 53 Girl, shouldn't you reconsider?
Howling Valley instance entrance.
Dead silence.
All players, whether they were just casual players frantically looking for teammates or elites from the Moon Goddess's Radiance guild.
Or perhaps those who were just there to watch the spectacle were all frozen in place at that moment.
Their eyes widened, their mouths slightly agape, and their expressions froze on their faces.
Their gazes were fixed intently on the ancient wooden plaque at the entrance to the dungeon.
Six minutes!
A level 10 dungeon, a dungeon that is widely recognized as requiring a well-coordinated five-person elite team and taking at least twenty minutes to clear.
He did it all by himself in just six minutes.
"Six...six minutes? Has it been six minutes?"
A werewolf warrior rubbed his eyes, his voice hoarse.
"Grunt..."
The minotaur warrior beside him swallowed hard, his huge bull eyes filled with horror.
"It should take about this long to walk from the entrance to the boss room at the very back, right?"
"He...he wasn't fighting monsters, he was just taking a walk!"
"My God, how many exorcism talismans must have been burned? A hundred? Two hundred?"
"More than that! There are at least a hundred vengeful spirit monsters in Wailing Valley, plus elite monsters and the final boss—that guy has a lot of health!"
"To completely flatten it in six minutes, I estimate... it'll cost at least three to five hundred gold coins!"
Three to five hundred gold coins!
This number was like a boulder crashing into the crowd, eliciting a collective gasp.
Just to clear the beginner dungeon once?
What does this mean?
This isn't just being rich; it's burning money like it's worthless paper!
In an instant, all the gazes directed at the dungeon entrance changed.
That's no longer about viewing a rich newbie, nor is it about viewing a lucky nouveau riche.
Instead, they were looking up at an incomprehensible being from another dimension.
With money, you really can do whatever you want.
At this moment, Chen You, who was inside the instance space, was unaware of the turmoil that had been stirred up outside because of him.
He was frowning as he looked at the system notification in front of him.
[Ding! The destruction conditions for [Wailing Valley] have been met!]
Congratulations! You have successfully cleared the "Wailing Valley" dungeon!
Experience points gained: 2000
[Gained Zhaocheng Reputation: 3000]
Destruction mode?
Chen You fell into deep thought.
This should be something like a hidden challenge or a hard mode.
Higher risk, higher reward.
He glanced at the few pieces of equipment in his backpack that were so bad they were a waste of time to dismantle, and curled his lip.
The loot drops in normal mode are definitely not worth the wait.
It seems that if you want good stuff, you still have to rely on this "destruction mode".
but……
"When in doubt, ask Hill," Chen You muttered to himself.
By the way, I haven't drawn the VIP prize yet.
Having made up his mind, Chen You decided to exit the instance.
……
With a flash of light, Chen You's figure reappeared at the entrance of the Howling Valley.
"They're out!"
Someone shouted, and the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.
Hundreds of eyes were focused on Chen You.
Awe, envy, greed, curiosity... all these emotions intertwine to form an invisible pressure.
Chen You frowned slightly, not wanting to waste any more time here.
Just as he was about to summon his mount to leave, a figure blocked his way.
It is Yueying.
This proud young woman from the Elven race, the regional manager of the [Moon Goddess's Radiance] guild, no longer had the arrogance on her face.
Instead, a smile that was almost obsequious and dazzlingly radiant appeared.
In the six minutes that Chen You was playing the game, her intelligent mind had already figured everything out.
This man may seem eccentric and spend money like water, but he's definitely not stupid!
He just has so much money that he doesn't care about it anymore!
What does this tell us?
This shows that they are more worthy of our efforts to win them over and cooperate with them!
200 gold coins a month? That's too narrow-minded!
If we can reach an agreement and establish a long-term partnership, the reward will definitely be more than 2000 gold coins!
Right now, I have a perfect opportunity to cater to their preferences.
Thinking back to how she had ordered the retrieval of the Spirit Essence Sand without hesitation, Yueying couldn't help but admire her own intelligence!
As a manager, you need this kind of vision!
As for being rejected and ignored before...
Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles!
"Master Chen You! Congratulations! Congratulations on your unparalleled divine power, for leveling the Howling Valley with overwhelming force, creating a miracle that is unprecedented and will likely never be repeated!"
Yueying's voice was clear and melodious, and her flattery was undisguised.
It was as if the person who had just been publicly rejected and turned pale with anger was not her at all.
The members of the Moon Goddess's Radiance guild behind her were completely petrified.
What did they see?
Their goddess-like, icy girl, who was always arrogant and looked down on all male creatures...
She was actually... she was actually smiling at a man?
And you're still smiling like that... licking my boots?
Has the world gone mad?
Chen You was also taken aback.
He stared at the spirited young woman in front of him, whose attitude had completely changed, and was momentarily stunned.
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
The other party was so humble, calling him "big boss" and "miracle" repeatedly, that even Chen You felt a little embarrassed.
He waved his hand and asked in a calm tone, "What is it?"
"Of course something's wrong! Something incredibly important!"
When Yueying saw Chen You strike up a conversation, her smile became even more genuine.
She leaned forward half a step, lowered her voice, and said in a tone as if sharing a shocking secret:
"Boss, I know you've been collecting a material called 'Spirit Essence Sand,' right?"
The way Yueying looked at Chen You was full of appreciation that said "I understand you" and a sense of kinship that "we are the same kind of people".
Chen You looked at her "everything is under control" expression and felt a little strange.
Spirit Sand?
He did need it before, but that was to bring it back to the real world for Qian Lao and his colleagues to study.
He remained calm and gave a faint "hmm".
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Yueying's eyes shone even brighter.
She puffed out her chest, her tone carrying just the right amount of self-satisfaction and boastfulness.
"To be honest, after you swept through the auction house, I immediately realized the extraordinary value of this material."
"I have dispatched all the main forces of the guild to reserve all the production areas of Spirit Sand outside Zhaocheng."
"Now, apart from the one you have, all the remaining spirit sand circulating in the market... is with me."
She paused for a moment, then extended her olive branch.
"Boss, I know you have lofty ambitions, and the amount of materials you need must be astronomical."
"I am willing to transfer all the spirit sand I possess to you at cost price—no, at below cost price!"
"I have only one small request: I hope to establish a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with you in the future."
"[The Radiance of the Moon Goddess] is worthy of your trust!"
After saying that, she looked at Chen You expectantly, waiting for his overjoyed reaction.
In her view, her actions were a timely and invaluable service, a stroke of genius in business.
This not only demonstrated their value but also extended a tremendous favor and paved the way for future cooperation.
perfect!
The surrounding players also heard this conversation, and immediately there was an uproar.
"My goodness, what a grand scheme! They've actually monopolized the Spirit Sand?"
"She's trying to get deeply involved with that super-rich guy!"
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This is the mindset of a top-tier player!"
Amidst the gasps of amazement and Yueying's determined gaze, Chen You finally spoke.
He looked at Yueying, his eyes filled with a hint of...confusion?
It's like watching a performance artist.
He shook his head.
"No."
Three simple words, light and airy, devoid of any emotion.
But it was like three bolts of lightning from the heavens, instantly striking Yueying's head.
"Wh...what?"
The smile on Yueying's face froze instantly.
She doubted she had heard correctly.
She used all her wisdom and staked a lot of the guild's resources to tailor-make an incredible gift for him, but he actually said... no need?
This doesn't make sense!
"Boss, did you...didn't you hear me?"
Yueying's voice trembled slightly.
"I mean, I have all the spirit sand on the market, and I can sell it to you at a low price..."
"I heard you clearly."
Chen You interrupted her, his tone still calm, "I said, no need."
"Why?!" Yueying finally lost her composure and asked in a trembling voice.
"You clearly need this material so badly!"
Chen You looked at her pretty face, which was contorted with shock and confusion, and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
He thought about it and decided to satisfy the other person's curiosity.
"The ones I bought a couple of days ago are enough."
Is that enough?
You've emptied the entire auction house's inventory, and now you're telling me... that's enough?
That's over five thousand copies!
What exactly do you want to use it for? To make the bed?!
Yueying felt her mind go completely blank.
All the logic and speculation she had carefully constructed shattered at that moment by the other party's casual remark, "That's enough."
She felt like a clown jumping around.
On his self-righteous stage, he performed a brilliant one-man show.
The audience members below the stage didn't even bother to lift their eyelids once, from beginning to end.
An overwhelming sense of humiliation, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed her.
Chen You ignored the young woman who was now completely dumbfounded.
On a whim, he activated the VIP member's auto-pathfinding function.
"Pfft~"
With a soft sound, a giant rabbit, the size of a calf, pure white, with blood-red eyes and a golden bell around its neck, appeared out of thin air before everyone.
Chen You glanced one last time at Yueying, whose face was deathly pale, and decided it was best not to go too far.
Leave room for maneuver in all things, so that you may meet again in the future.
He added another polite remark.
Thank you for your kindness.
"I'll contact you if I need anything."
After saying that, he gently patted the rabbit's back.
The giant rabbit leaped forward with its hind legs, transforming into a white lightning bolt that vanished at the end of the road with a gust of wind.
