Chapter 34

Soon, Lorne returned to the village.

At this moment, the Beginner Village was very lively. People appeared on the resurrection array one after another. They were all players who had failed the dungeon and revived in the village.

However, failure did not affect their fighting spirit. This group of players still rushed towards the wilderness excitedly. They went to level up. After they finished leveling up, they would still enter the dungeon.

This was all because in the dungeon, the drop-rate of monsters had increased. Although the value of the White Iron equipment had decreased, to ordinary players, the income from being able to drop a piece of equipment had reached the expected amount.

Passing through the streets, Lorne arrived at his destination.

In the corner of the village square, he found Super Rich.

“Greetings, God-tier player. This is my greeting gift.”

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man smiled as he walked over with a gem. This treasure that was worth at least a few hundred thousand was like a useless rock in his hands. He handed it to Lorne without hesitation.

Moreover, this middle-aged tycoon did not have the arrogance of a ‘big shot’. At this moment, he was more like an admirer of Lorne. If one only looked at him this way, it was hard to imagine that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man could casually toss out a million dollars.

“You’re too polite.” Grinning, Lorne accepted the gem.

He used it directly.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations on obtaining Pet Space+1.”

After a pleasant reminder, Lorne gained a new pet space. This way, he could contract another pet.

But now was not the time.

He had to create a team first.

Then, he gathered the remaining few people.

Although he did not need the help of his teammates, he needed money. In order to give his sister the best treatment, he needed a lot, a lot of money.

“Ding!”

“Player [Super Rich-Level 1] has joined the team.”

Only Level 1?

Lorne was surprised to see the notification.

This rich player was too weak. The game had been on for more than 24 hours and he was only Level 1. Had he been traveling the entire day?

Super Rich smiled awkwardly, “I’m old and don’t know how to play. I originally killed pheasants and reached Level 2, but after I walked out of the wheat field, I was quickly bitten to death by the demonized wild dogs.”

“Don’t worry. Just follow behind the team and don’t wander around.” Lorne casually replied.

In any case, he did not want to rely on the teammates he recruited. After all, they could not even clear Hard Dungeons. They were too weak.

“Alright, leader. I won’t wander around.” Super Rich smiled and nodded. He then asked, “Should we challenge the dungeon now?”

“Wait a while longer. There are still a few people left.”

There was still half an hour to go before the appointed time.

As for the Twinkle Rose, Lorne did not ask. Since he had already sold a ticket, her choice was not important anymore. Besides, he had already discussed this with her. If she did not plan to join in, there was no way that he would force her.

But at that moment, Super Rich said something astonishing.

“Leader, why don’t we stop waiting? I’ll buy the remaining spots. The two of us will go clear the dungeon now. When the full-server announcement appears, it will be even more shocking to see only two names on it.”

When he thought of the scene of the two of them clearing the dungeon on their own, Super Rich felt inexplicably excited, as if the cost was nothing to him.

Lorne’s expression grew odd. In order to save time, this man was planning to use three million alliance dollars to buy the other spots. It had to be said that the mind of the richest man was very different from that of a normal person.

But that seemed a little immoral.

While it was exciting to fleece a rich man, it was not in his nature to fleece one person over and over. It would be best to wait until the outcome was decided, then reluctantly accept his offer.

“Don’t worry. It’ll be another half an hour before my promise expires.”

“Alright then, I’ll try to recruit some people. If we can’t recruit anyone in this half an hour, then the two of us will enter the dungeon.”

“No problem.”

Lorne nodded. He could understand the thought of Super Rich. After all, he never lacked money. What he lacked was time. If he had half an hour extra in reality, the money he earned would be ten times of 4 million, or even more.

Just as Lorne was feeling rueful, a series of announcements suddenly appeared in the Beginner Village’s chat channel.

“Brothers, our Leader Tyrant is preparing to take the first clear of [Valley of the Dead]. There are still three spots left, going at one million alliance dollars each. Friends who are interested, don’t hesitate and quickly join the team. Here, I ‘Super Rich’ solemnly promise that if we fail to clear it, I will refund all of you.” +1

“Brothers…” +2

“Brothers…” +3

“Brothers…” +4

“…”

“Brothers…” +100

Starting from the first announcement, the chat of the Beginner Village had been refreshing non-stop. Half an hour later, there were a hundred new announcements.

The players were dumbfounded.

One had to know that every chat notification in the Beginner Village cost 1 gold coin!

100 announcements cost 100 gold coins!

According to the highest price of the black market, this was 500,000 alliance dollars!

In an instant, the name “Super Rich” became popular in the game. Everyone knew of this person.

Furthermore, no one would doubt his words. Although three million was a large sum of money to ordinary people, it was nothing compared to a tycoon’s wealth.

Seeing this situation, the players who were still wavering began to be tempted.

Ten minutes after the announcement, someone contacted Lorne and took the initiative to pay him 1 million alliance dollars as the ‘ticket’ cost.

At that moment, a message came from Twinkle Rose.

“I want the remaining three spots. I’ll transfer you the money now.”

“I’m sorry, big-busted sister. I received two invoices a second before you sent the message. There’s only one slot left.”

Lorne sent her three cigar emojis, as if mocking her.

Damn little brother!

Twinkle Rose gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to curse as she requested, “I want the last spot.”

Soon, Lorne received the last transfer, and the five-person team was officially completed. The group met in the Beginner Village and headed to the dungeon entrance of [Valley of the Dead].
