  Captain Don’t Open Fire was very afraid of Fearless breaking the contract so hearing what he said, he panicked again, “100,000 it is but can you promise we will pass?”


  Fearless smiled, “I can’t promise but you know Quan Zhen Sect’s character, we don’t do muddle jobs. We will definitely do our best.”


  Without mentioning Quan Zhen Sect’s character, it was still ok but once it was mentioned, Wang Yu and the rest felt bad.

  Wang Yu had never seen someone extort the employer after entering the dungeon.

  “Of course, if you don’t trust us, we can leave now. It’s fine.” Speaking, Fearless signalled to Quan Zhen Sect and everyone motioned, pretending to leave the dungeon.

  “Ok, ok, ok! Whatever you say.” Captain Don’t Open Fire was shocked so he quickly took out a one hundred thousand gold coins contract and gave it to Fearless.

  Fearless smiled upon taking over the contract, “You should have done this earlier. Why make things so complicated?”


  Captain Don’t Open Fire said upsetly, “If I knew earlier, I would have been wary of you.”


  “Hehe, I am just playing along. Leader Captain, you surprised me by playing tricks over such a small amount,” Fearless said with a burst of cold laughter.

  “Erm……” Captain Don’t Open Fire heard him and blushed then waved his hand and said, “Alright, let’s fight.”


  Quan Zhen Sect saw Captain Don’t Open Fire’s reaction and asked Fearless puzzledly, “You two had an underground deal? Why were you so sure he would pay?”


  Fearless said, “Because he won’t dare to let us leave.”


  “Why?” Everyone did not understand.

  Fearless said, “Because they have challenged this dungeon three times.”


  There were many times of quest systems in <> and exclusive quests had a time limit.

  If not, when a player received a quest for a month but did not do anything, the quest BOSS would be killed hundreds of times by others while loitering around.

  Guild exclusive quests’ longest time limit was a month. This dungeon opens once a week and Void Blade had tried three times so obviously, this was their last chance. Or else, they would not pay so much for help.

  Hearing what Fearless said, everyone was instantly enlightened but Wang Yu despised him, “You already took the money but you still extorted more from them. How shameless.”


  “Hmph!” Fearless sneered and said, “If he did not try to cheat us, I would not cheat him for more.”


  Indeed, if Captain Don’t Open Fire had been clear that this was an exclusive quest with no other rewards, Fearless would have negotiated for other terms and not increase his price on the spot.

  However, to Captain Don’t Open Fire, Quan Zhen Sect was a greedy bunch so when Fearless wanted the quest rewards, he wanted to let Quan Zhen Sect lose out. The big guilds in Twilight had all been cheated by Quan Zhen Sect so whoever could take revenge, they would gain more than just the rewards.

  However, although they loved money, they spent it no less generously than Captain Don’t Open Fire. It was just several tens of thousands of contract money. How could it scare these murderous people, so it was useless.

  Quan Zhen Sect’s motto had always been to work for whoever paid so even though they did not like Captain Don’t Open Fire, they have taken his money so they would do their best.

  In terms of fulfilling the contract terms, Quan Zhen Sect never tried to trick their way through.

  The first level of Treasures’ Hidden Ground was a long cave with level 60 elite monsters, called Frontline Treasure Hunters and Greedy Robbers.

  Frontline Treasure Hunters were warrior monsters with great strength and used a hammer expertly to knock back their target. Greedy Robbers were invisible monsters who could annoyingly move around without trace.

  However, Captain Don’t Open Fire had already brought people here three times so everyone was familiar with them. Once they stepped into the cave area, Captain Don’t Open Fire took out a seven-hundred gem (True Vision Gem which market price is 700 gold coins so it is often referred to as seven-hundred gem) which instantly lit up the area around him.

  Based on Captain Don’t Open Fire as the centre, all the Greedy Robbers within a five-metre radius were exposed.

  Quan Zhen Sect’s abilities were indubitable and the seven to eight Void Blade players that could enter this dungeon with Captain Don’t Open Fire were also the cream of the crop. Under Fearless’ command, everyone quickly cleaned out the monster in the cave and reached the end.

  As everyone expected, an exclusive quest’s drop rate was low. Any dungeon with level 60 elite monsters would have some equipment with attributes after so many were killed but along the way, there was none.

  Ming Du and the rest originally had a thread of hope but they were devastated.

  At the end of the cave was a circular platform and on it was a cover with a carved rune. It should be the entrance to the next scene.

  Captain Don’t Open Fire pointed at the cover and said, “All three times we fought till here and could not enter……”


  Frost Blade laughed, “What’s so difficult? Isn’t it just a locked door? Just unlock it.”


  “Only if it was so simple.” Captain Don’t Open Fire sighed then pointed at the two red gems on the two sides of the cover and said, “Do you see those two’s position? The two red gems are the magic which seals the cover. Once you walk near the cover, the magic will knock you back. Even more angering is that these two gems cannot be smashed. Boss Fearless, I have heard that you are intelligent and have your ways. Do you have a way to open this entrance?”


  Captain Don’t Open Fire thought Fearless would need to think for a while but before Fearless spoke, Quan Zhen Sect all laughed and said, “This is too easy.”


  “Oh?” Captain Don’t Open Fire heard them and his jaw dropped. Void Blade’s players were also in disbelief.

  Since the game’s server opened, everyone had come across the combination of traps and magic. Their usual method was to eradicate the magic before unlocking it but since the gems were immune to attack, they were invisible.

  Quan Zhen Sect could fight but this was an intelligence problem so it could not be resolved by brute force. What use was there even if they could fight well?

  Seeing Captain Don’t Open Fire and Void Blade’s players full of suspicion, Fearless said, “Frost, educate them.”


  Frost Blade received the order then walked to the gem then took out a shovel meant for digging traps, then dug the ground surrounding the gem.

  In a while, the two gems were removed from their places by Frost Blade along with their holders. After digging the gems, Frost Blade changed the shovel into a dagger. With a flick of his hand, a “Kacha” sound was heard and the lock on the cover was broken. Indeed, the system was unpredictable but Quan Zhen Sect was more ferocious, shocking everyone.

  Frost Blade played with the gems in his hand and said, “Giving away a set of magic spells for opening a door. This is such good welfare. You guys are so wasteful.”
