“Simple Gem: Can be used for equipment inlay, reduces current equipment Level Requirement by 10 levels!”
Looking at the specific properties of the purple gem in his hand, Yi Tianchen was somewhat surprised. He immediately recalled the old man from Maple Village who had helped him embed the Dragon's Roar after deciphering its seal. It seemed that if it weren't for such a magical gem, Dragon's Roar would still be lying in the Money Exchange.
But how should he assess its value?
A span of 10 levels was certainly a significant distance for every player. Especially now, as players' levels continued to rise, their attributes were becoming stronger, but the speed of leveling up was slowing down. The advantages of an item that spanned 10 levels were evident.
Behold, Proud Dragon was staring wide-eyed, fixated on the Simple Gem in Yi Tianchen's hand without even blinking. The Shadow Repeating Crossbow he had just acquired was a level 40 Dark Gold Weapon; if paired with this Simple Gem, it would be perfect.
“Wow... this thing is great!”
Still marveling at it, Proud Dragon rubbed his hands together awkwardly, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. However, the glimmer of desire in his eyes was impossible to conceal and was easily noticed by both Yi Tianchen and Not a Master.
“It really is a good item!”
Yi Tianchen nodded in agreement, a smile appearing in his eyes as he held the gem up to the sunlight with his thumb and index finger, admiring it. He couldn't help but exclaim, “What a great item! Absolutely a great item! Hmm, I can definitely sell it for a good price when I get back.”
“Uh... you plan to sell it?” Proud Dragon was taken aback and said sternly, “Such a good item would be a shame to sell to outsiders; why not sell it to me instead? How about that?”
“You're an outsider too!” Yi Tianchen replied, speechless.
“Exactly! Internal sales only; you have nothing to do with it!” Not a Master earnestly expressed this correct viewpoint and continued, “Boss, why not sell it to me? You know that weapon we got last time was just ten levels higher!”
“If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. So tell me, how much can you offer?” Yi Tianchen asked seriously.
“This kind of gem is priceless; although it's for internal sale, it can't be too low...” Not a Master furrowed his brows and thought for a while before continuing, “Boss, how about I offer you 1,000 gold coins? I can't afford more than that.”
“Uh…”
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianchen continued to ponder with a bitter expression. The back-and-forth between them made Proud Dragon increasingly anxious and distressed. After some gritting of teeth, he seemed to make up his mind and shouted, “Damn it! I’ll offer 2,000 gold coins; I want that gem!”
“2,000... hmm, that's quite a sum!” Yi Tianchen mused thoughtfully and then looked at Not a Master. “Little Bear, what do you think?”
"What's it to you? It's for internal sales!" Not a Master glared fiercely, clearly showing a look that said he would get aggressive if not complied. He shouted, "Boss, I may not have much money, but I have a heart loyal to the Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group; he has money, but in the end, he's an outsider!"
"That's reasonable, very reasonable!" Yi Tianchen nodded thoughtfully, appearing to agree.
"Reasonable my foot!"
Proud Dragon was fed up and stared at Not a Master, engaging in a silent battle of glares. Regardless of the outcome, he finally shouted, "Fine! I'll join the Mist Rain Flowing Years Mercenary Group and still offer 2000 gold for this gem. Is that acceptable?"
Yi Tianchen was taken aback and nearly laughed out loud. The reason he had been playing along with Not a Master was to see if he could use this gem to win over Proud Dragon. He hadn't expected Proud Dragon to bring it up himself so soon.
Surprise! Unexpected!
At this moment, Yi Tianchen's heart was filled with these two emotions. However, even though Proud Dragon had proposed it, he couldn't let him see that it was all an act, could he? He needed to think carefully about how to proceed next because things were progressing much faster than anticipated.
"Ahem... well..."
Yi Tianchen showed a bitter expression as he pondered, "It can work, but... you know that the President of Mist of Time isn't me. If you really want to join, I can help convey your message. As for whether they'll agree or not, I can't guarantee that."
"Uh..."
Proud Dragon shivered slightly upon hearing this, his thoughts racing. This mere Emerging Guild—no, more accurately, just a mercenary group—actually dared to act so high and mighty? To put it bluntly, did they think they were worthy of his consideration?
Yet it was precisely this statement that dispelled Proud Dragon's doubts. As someone who had long navigated the fringes of Guilds and was well-known among them, Proud Dragon had seen his fair share of storms and knew well how various Small Guilds operated.
When he heard Yi Tianchen and Not a Master harmonizing earlier, Proud Dragon had indeed wondered if they were trying to win him over.
However, due to the gem's allure, he had wanted to continue observing. Now hearing Yi Tianchen say this—combined with the prestige of being First Person—made the idea of them trying to win him over seem less theatrical in Proud Dragon's mind.
"Uh... Boss, didn't Captain say that Mist of Time is no longer recruiting unless there are players with strong combat abilities who can be considered after evaluation?" Not a Master said seriously.
Proud Dragon was taken aback: "What?! Are you doubting my strength? Do you want to compare? Let's wager 1000 gold coins; are you up for it?"
“Gambling... I still need to use this 1000 gold to buy gems! Tsk tsk... 1000 gold coins, what a bargain! My Divine Weapon Greatsword will be in my hands soon, hahaha...” Not a Master remained unfazed, but his expression turned into one of longing, eventually bursting into laughter.
“Damn!”
Proud Dragon was conflicted; it seemed like this guy completely disregarded him! For a moment, he doubted whether to pull him in or not, but then quickly dismissed most of those thoughts. He turned to Yi Tianchen and said, “First Person, tell me, how are we going to do this? I’m focused now.”
Yi Tianchen was still deep in thought. After rummaging through his friend list for a while, he finally said sternly, “Hey, should we kill the BOSS first?”
“BOSS? Where’s the BOSS?” Proud Dragon was taken aback.
“Our President said that if you can snag the BOSS, you’ll pass and be able to join Mist of Time. This gem could even be a reward for you!” Yi Tianchen declared with righteous fervor.
“Really?”
“Fake!” Not a Master looked pained and shouted, “Boss, it’s first come first served! Besides, this guy hasn’t even shown up yet! Is it that easy to steal a BOSS?”
“Come on! I’ll show you how it’s done; if I can’t get it, I’ll leave myself!”
