Chapter 941: Work Together

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Money! Right now, Happy was in great need of money!

The money in his bank card was all used to pay for his treatment fees and his room. He did not intend to use what he had remaining in exchange for in-game money either.

While he intended to level up to Moksha Realm, he also intended to explore Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts properly so that he can obtain Recondite Steel Heavy Sword and Great Demonic World Destruction Art as soon as possible.

The rewards he gained during the first time he entered Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts was pretty good. He got himself two demon vessels, one Moksha Realm body fortification technique, and a plot-relevant portrait which had a value he was not certain of just yet.

However, Happy did not intend to farm in the complicated treasure house.

His first encounter with it had already let him understand clearly that a person required great strength, alertness, reaction, and luck when he or she explored the treasure house.

Happy did not intend to test his luck multiple times and use it all, because that meant he will surely end up in a tragic state.

This time, his targets in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts were the beast tamers and animals inside.

The pelts and bones in these creatures were materials for high-grade equipment and weapons. Their value was in the hundred thousands, and the equipment they dropped was worth one million.

Happy intended to target those items and get some solid gold from them.

He arrived at the entrance he took to enter Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts, and Happy was surprised to see the group of people from Hunter Clan again.

But this group of people were not fighting against any hordes of beasts. Instead, they gathered together and talked about something.

Happy’s arrival caused these people to be incredibly excited.

Mu Qi, the leader of the Hunter Clan, walked over in surprise and delight. “Happy.”

This time, it was Happy who was speechless. He was already wearing a Bamboo Hat, but Mu Qi managed to identify him from afar. Also, how did he manage to even know his name?

“You’re here. Do you intend to enter the treasure house today as well?”

This time, Mu Qi was clearly just exchanging pleasantries with Happy.

He asked that because he saw how Happy managed to come out unscathed after he successfully entered the treasure house, and he had even gotten rid of a group of Blood Alliance members with clean and smooth movements. It was only natural that he thought that Happy was prepared to grind in the treasure house for a long time and get high-end resources.

“Thank you for giving me the information yesterday. There were indeed some rewards in the treasure house, but I don’t intend to grind in the treasure house today.” He stopped talking for a moment before Happy made a statement. “I nearly died a few times, so it’s best if I don’t take the risk.”

“True.” Mu Qi nodded in agreement to his statement and analyzed the situation. “That’s what many of the players who successfully came out of the treasure house believe. You have to be on high alert inside, and you can’t relax even in the slightest. The pressure is too great, so it’s enough that you only go once. It’s okay if you go there, but if you go too many times, you’ll become paranoid, and it’s very easy for you to run into trouble. Some of the people will either stay away from it after they came out, or die on their second or third time inside.”

Happy said nothing. He nodded in silence and swept his gaze over the people behind Mu Qi.

“By the way, how did you manage to learn of my identity?”

“After you went into the house yesterday, we stayed outside. Later on, the people from Blood Alliance rushed in.” The Gu poison user seized the opportunity to tell Happy everything that transpired during dawn.

“You uploaded my fight against Blood Alliance?”

After he listened to the whole thing, Happy’s expression finally changed, and he looked surprised.

“Yeah. At that time, we found Blood Alliance to be an eyesore.” The Gu poison user stated smugly.

Mu Qi stared at Happy with slight uneasiness. “Are we not supposed to upload it and expose your strength?”

“No, if Blood Alliance really wanted to test me, they would have recorded the fight themselves. You didn’t do anything wrong, I just didn’t think you would act so quickly.” Happy smiled wanly to state that there was nothing wrong with what they did.

Mu Qi sighed in relief and suggested. “By the way, Happy, since you’re not going into the treasure house, do you want to come with us? If you have to fight against a beast tamer alone, it’ll be very tiring for you, since you’re still in Life and Death Realm. Besides, I think that you’ll soon reach Moksha Realm, and you shouldn’t be thinking about leveling here, but farming money, right?”

When he heard Mu Qi’s analysis, Happy cannot help but have his expression change.

“In truth, most of the Moksha Realm elites come here to grind, but you’re in Life and Death Realm, and you fight with your fists. It’s very difficult for you to kill the beasts inside. But you’re almost at Moksha Realm, so you shouldn’t be in a hurry to practice any sort of martial arts.” Mu Qi paused for a moment before he braced his courage and explained, “While Hunter Clan isn’t really strong, we still have some degree of understanding toward Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts. If we’re together, it’ll be easier for us to move together, and our efficiency will also be pretty high. Besides, at that time, you can get one-third of the resources from your team. What do you think?”

‘One-third.’

If this offer was made at any other time, Happy might scoff at it, but to the current Happy, this was already a very high quota. After all, there were far too many people in Hunter Clan. Happy already obtained a huge share to be able to get one-third of the resources in one go.

“Aren’t you afraid that Blood Alliance will treat you as their enemies as well?’

“Of course we’re scared, but the situation in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts is very unique. Regardless of who it is, very few of them dare to come inside and cause trouble. Besides, once you reach Moksha Realm, I think that Blood Alliance wouldn’t have time to pay attention to nobodies like us.”

Mu Qi smiled, and his intention of working together with Happy was clearly displayed at that moment.

The people behind him reacted the same way. The group of trap masters and two tanks nodded.

“Since you’re not afraid, I’ll definitely be willing to work with you.” Happy took up the offer.

Mu Qi’s group looked delighted.

Yesterday, after they saw Happy fighting against the people from Blood Alliance, they realized that their luck had arrived, because it was impossible for Happy to continue remaining under the radar.

With his great fighting instincts, skills, and strength, he will definitely climb to the top again.

If they managed to successfully be on the same side as Happy, Hunter Clan might not end up as a small, unknown group that only worked for others.

“Great! Let’s distribute our responsibilities and tasks. Our goal isn’t the disciples in the mountain villa, but the beast tamers. A beast tamer with a full team of beasts can ensure that we maximize the explosive strength from our trap masters. At that time, our tanks will be in charge of tanking damage and luring the creatures, while the trap masters are in charge of AOE damage. The Gu poison user will be in charge of controlling the creatures. Happy, you and I will—”

“I can be in charge of luring the animals. You just need to be in charge of getting rid of the traps at the entrance and set up traps. That’ll be enough.”

Even though Happy had been hiding his strength all this while, since he was going to get one-third of the resources in the group, it was only natural that he could not do nothing, because that was not the way he conducted himself.

Besides, he knew that Mu Qi had the same plan as yesterday. He wanted to lure out the beast tamer in the courtyard and kill him, but doing so will cost too much time.

Happy did not want to waste time waiting for them to set up traps and then spend another half an hour picking up loot. If that were the case, it would be better if he went solo.

If the battle yesterday had not happened, Mu Qi might think that Happy was boasting about himself, but now, he was completely at ease with Happy, and he agreed with it readily.

“Alright, we’ll listen to you.”

*****

Mu Qi was pretty good when it came to the distribution of tasks in his team and in commanding them. At the very least, he was more outstanding than Happy when it came to setting up traps.

The explosive strength from individual traps can be strong, but also be weak. However, as long as they were careful, it was very difficult for the traps to create any sort of fatal damage on people.

The tanks in the group were known as Old Pang and Young Pang. Both had Arhat Body and were Moksha Realm players with pretty good defensive equipment.

Once their task of luring creatures was taken by Happy, both were tasked to scout the road ahead of them by Mu Qi, and they were used as manual trap excavators.

Many traps were rendered useless once Old Pang and Young Pang activated them, but they did not cause too much damage to them. The group safely walked into the first courtyard, and Happy nodded in acknowledgement to their actions. He knew that Mu Qi was able to tell that he wanted to enter deep into the villa. Since the tanks did not need to lure the beasts, that meant that they did not need to get involved in the subsequent battles. If they were injured now, they can just sit down and activate their qi cultivation techniques while the others fought to be able to recover quickly.

There were only two beasts in the first courtyard as well as ten Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts Disciples.

Happy rushed to the front, and right when he engaged them, he put down two enemies. The group of people behind him threw their hidden weapons rapidly, making them advance like a swarm of locusts, and they managed to quickly end the battle.

The beasts were slightly more troublesome. They had a lot of HP, and normal hidden weapons can only damage them superficially. As for poison, Gu poison was the only poison that can confuse them. Normal poison was absolutely useless to them, because they were all brought up on a medicinal diet.

Happy got a general idea of the ranking system of the beasts in the mountain villa now.

Inaction Realm Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Disciples were normal monsters, and they were easy to deal with.

The beasts who moved alone required some time to kill, and they can be considered as elite monsters.

Beast tamers were mini bosses.

They led a group of armored elite beasts, and even top-class elites will need to spend a lot of energy before they can get rid of those sturdy beasts.

Mu Qi’s method was rather complicated and had a lot of details that need to be taken care of. They need to set up large traps that can overlap with each other with the intention of getting rid of everything in one go, but it was rather to control them, and it was also easy for the beast tamer to see through their plan.

Besides, a large amount of materials was required in setting up traps, and it was also quite a great investment.

Hence, Hunter Clan seldom used traps to fight against beasts. It was only when they faced a beast tamer with their entire group that they got to use this privilege. That was why they targeted beast tamer groups, which meant that their main targets were the mini bosses in Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The battle at the first courtyard ended, and they only obtained a handful of materials from the two beasts.

Mu Qi cast a glance at the other three entrances in the courtyard.

“We’re a little unlucky this time. There aren’t any traces of beast tamers in the other three directions. Let’s continue heading deeper. The difficulty in choosing one of the three entrances in the second courtyard will be higher.”

“Let’s not waste time.” Happy nodded and walked in front.

It was only at that moment that Hunter Clan sensed just how great it was to have Happy in the group.

Even though their target was beast tamers, it was a huge waste of time and energy to search for them by entering into multiple courtyards in the villa.

Hence, before they found a beast tamer, they will definitely be caught up in fights. At that time, their hidden weapons will have a hard time in ending a fight within a short period of time, because the trap masters only used hidden weapon techniques that were at Mystical or at Life and Death Realm. Their tanks will be injured badly by then, and the only person who can really fight was Mu Qi alone, which was why they needed to use up a lot of energy to fight, and dangers were everywhere.

However, once Happy arrived, even though his qi realm was not high, he could easily take care of the normal disciples at Inaction Realm. In fact, they were practically handing over their necks into his hands. He could also kill those beasts very quickly. They managed to press onward into the second courtyard and even swiftly end the second fight.

“Haha! Luck is on our side! The two courtyards to the east and west are both occupied by beast tamers. We have two beast tamer groups, and once we finish one group, we can fight the next one! If we’re quick, we can get more than ten million taels of silver in two hours!” Mu Qi and his group were incredibly excited. They quickly began setting up traps.

But Happy was the only one who pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

“It’s a pity that they’re not in the same courtyard, or else I’ll lure all of them over here, and we can get rid of all of them in one go.”

The entire group was rendered speechless, and they found themselves breaking out in cold sweat over the idea.
