Chapter 8

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Faced with Victor Li’s invitation, Ye Tianyu fell into hesitation.

He was very tempted by this rare opportunity, but he also had his concerns.

For safety reasons, he began to ask about the internal situation of the Spiritual Team.

The situation in a dungeon that was missed out was unpredictable.

If the team was too weak, Ye Tianyu did not even need to consider and would immediately turn around to leave.

After all, on top of becoming stronger, his life should always come first.

Victor Li seemed to sense his concern.

He spread out a set of prepared documents on the conference table.

“There are 14 members in the Spiritual team. Including you, there would be 15 members.”

As he spoke, he pushed the documents in front of Ye Tianyu.

“This is the information of all the members including me. I suggest that you get to know them in advance.”

[Name: Victor Li

Esper Ability Attribute: Fire Warrior

Mutant level: Grade C+

Team Name: Spiritual Assault Team

Team Position: Leader

Number of conquerred dungeons: 368]

…

[Name: Li Shuangjiang

Esper Ability Attribute: Thunder Warrior

Mutant level: Grade C

Team Name: Spiritual Assault Team

Team Position: Member

Number of conquerred dungeons: 173]

…

After understanding the members of the Spiritual assault team, Ye Tianyu became slightly more relaxed.

Currently, there were five Grade C mutants in the Spiritual Team. The rest were all Grade D mutants. Each of them had their own role in the team.

Some were responsible for guiding directions, some were responsible for assisting from the side, and there were mutants who specialized in healing.

It was indeed as the rumors had said. This was a near-perfect lineup of attack troops, enough to rank in the top ten in City H.

While Ye Tianyu heaved a sigh of relief, he was also puzzled.

It should be easy for such a strong team to recruit teammates.

By simply placing the recruitment information on the mutant forum, the number of applicants should easily fill up an entire meeting room.

Then, why did Victor Li approach him instead?

Ye Tianyu didn’t think that being handsome meant having priority. Of course, it also could not be because of Chen Zhiwen.

After all, the things that appeared on the other side of the teleportation portal were unpredictable. Ordinary monsters might appear, but unexpectedly powerful monsters might also appear. Thus, every team leader was very cautious when choosing their team members.

At this moment.

Victor Li’s signature husky voice sounded again.

“What do you think? This is a rare opportunity. If other guilds grab the chance, we won’t have a share.”

Dungeons like this were usually well-hidden, so the discoverers had ample time to prepare.

But if they took too long to prepare, it would cause other changes.

There would be a greater likelihood for it to be discovered by other mutants.

Ye Tianyu could sense the urgency in the other party’s words, but he still had one last question.

“Sure, but you should explain why you want to team up with me.”

“What do you think? Captain Victor Li!”

Hearing his address for him, Victor Li smiled.

He knew that Ye Tianyu’s words meant that he had agreed to it to a large extent.

“You can take a look at the list for the last casualty. There’s the answer you want there.”

“The list of casualties?!”

Ye Tianyu took out the last document that was printed in black and white.

[Name: Kevin Wang

Esper Ability Attribute: Summoner

Mutant level: Grade D

Team Name: Spiritual Assault Team

Team Position: Member

Number of conquerred dungeons: 89]

…

After reading this document, Ye Tianyu felt understood.

The team member that was missing was actually a Summoner like him.

Now, it was clear that his role was to replace the former team member.

After much consideration, Ye Tianyu made a decision.

“Captain Victor Li, it’s a pleasure working with you!”

“Haha! Happy cooperation!”

This time, the team conquer was set to be the next day. As the location was special, he was not informed about it in advance. Both parties left each other their phone numbers.

Then, they separated.

…

Ye Tianyu left the meeting room and went straight to the Mutant Association’s [Trade Center].

In the Mutant Association of each city, there would be their own trading center. They would trade goods here, and they could auction or buy various items from the Mutant Association.

The frequency of dungeons appearing in City H had increased. Moreover, with the annual assessment of the Mutant Association approaching, many mutants were conquerring the dungeons or training hard…

At this moment, there were only a few figures in the trading center.

In front of a huge screen, Ye Tianyu was checking the equipment information displayed on it.

“My dear mutant, how may I help you?”

A staff member wearing a professional uniform with a ponytail walked up to Ye Tianyu.

“Hello! I’m a Summoner. Do you have any recommendations for suitable equipment?”

Ye Tianyu then pointed at the equipment on the screen.

He had to explore the unknown dungeon the next day. In order to increase his trump cards, Ye Tianyu decided to buy some equipment.

Ever since he obtained the [Swift Boots] last time, he did not have any other suitable equipment.

He could only try his luck here.

A summoner?!

That staff member looked at the Class E mutant badge on Ye Tianyu’s chest and her expression turned slightly perfunctory.

As employees of the trading center, as long as there were completed transactions by any mutant, they would be able to get a large commission from it.

But to be honest, she did not have much hope for a Class E mutant.

Many low-level mutants had come here before. Usually, they would only look but not buy, wasting her time.

“Sir! This is a high-end trading center. The cheapest equipment cost at least 10,000. It might not be suitable for your budget. Why don’t you go somewhere else to take a look?”

Huh???

“I came to the Trading Center to buy equipment. Is there a problem?”

Ye Tianyu regained his senses and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

‘Continue your pretense!’

‘Simply wearing cheap clothes and a low-level mutant. How could you possibly have the money to buy equipment?’

The staff said coldly, “Sir, please don’t delay my work.”

Her voice was loud, and the few people in the trading center looked over.

Another staff member saw this and quickly walked over to pull the rude staff member away.

She apologized solemnly.

“Hello, sir! My name is Yun Ying. I’m a staff member here.”

“I apologize for what just happened. I’ll be at your service.”

“Mmh!”

Ye Tianyu responded softly.

After being disturbed by the staff member, he instantly lost interest in continuing to browse and immediately repeated his previous question.

“Alright, sir. As for the Summoner, I have a few pieces of equipment that I can recommend to you.”

“Please come with me!”

Ye Tianyu was brought into a room. In front of him were many high-level equipment. It seemed like it was a space specially used for display.

…

At the front desk of the trading center, a few female staff members were struggling to chat among themselves.

Among them was the staff member who mocked Ye Tianyu. She was full of complaints and disdain.

“Hmph! He is just a low-level mutant, what purchasing power can he have!”

“I don’t know what Yun Ying is thinking. She’d actually brought him into the VIP space. To me, it’s just a waste of time.”

“Yeah! Only because that girl is so simple-minded and doesn’t have much work experience that she would be fooled!”

The more they talked, the more excited they became.

At this moment.

The girl called Yun Ying returned to the front desk.

“How is it? Has that poor fellow left?”

The short-tempered staff member was then stunned.

Yun Ying skillfully clicked on a few pieces of equipment, then took out the mutant’s special account card and swiped it on the machine.

[Grade C—Magic Sword]

[Grade C—Elf Dominator Necklace]

[Grade C—Elf Dominator’s Hat]

“Beep! Payment successful. Total deduction: 4.5 million. Remaining amount: 4.38 million!”

The other staff members widened their eyes when they saw this..
