The six purchasing booths were far from being enough to manage the influx of fragments seller.

Looking at the growing amount of fragments, everyone felt tired but fulfilled.

Of course, Fearless, Ming Du and the rest felt pain and joy at the same time…

Wang Yu was soft-hearted and felt bad for the ones who had to interact with the guildless players. He sighed and walked out of the City Lord’s Mansion to practice his skills.

See no evil…

Fearless and the rest were occupied till 9 pm that night.

After seeing everyone being free, Wang Yu felt happy for them genuinely and asked cheerfully, “How was it? How many fragments did we collect?”

“Sc*m!” They pointed a middle finger at Wang Yu.

He did not help with work and only appeared when they were done?

“I was just asking…” Wang Yu smiled and said.

“Hehe!” Fearless screamed excitedly, “Thirty-four thousand five hundred forty-five pieces in total! After adding what we already have, we have nearly thirty-eight thousand pieces, including all-purpose fragments!”

“Not bad… Looks like we have great cohesiveness!”

Wang Yu was slightly surprised when he heard the figures. There were only ten thousand guildless players here, and the numbers meant that they had collected almost all of the fragments in Twilight City.

Deception and his group played a huge part, because Quan Zhen Sect would have at most collected only half of what they had if not for them.

“Bullsh*t.” The other players looked down upon him and said, “We did all the work, you are not related to this at all!”

“Dare to say that again?” Wang Yu touched his wrist while smiling.

The rest could not help but cry, “Damn it, Old Bull is becoming nastier!”

“Aye? Since when did you reach level 50?” Fearless noticed Wang Yu’s level and asked.

Wang Yu nodded and explained, “Yes, I just reached 50. I haven’t done the awakening quest though, because my experience got prohibited.”

When Wang Yu reached level 50, the system sent him a notification that said that he was at his cultivation bottleneck. Therefore, he had to attain and complete the awakening quest from his teacher to continue improving.

“Then you came at the right time. Come, put this on and spin around.” Fearless took out a cape and put it on Wang Yu.

The rest were jealous of Wang Yu who got to enjoy the benefits of their labour first.

“What do you mean?” Wang Yu knew that Fearless would even lie to his own friends and was cautious.

“What are you scared of?” Fearless smiled, “Just some advertising…”

After collecting all the fragments, they need to make an effort to sell them away at an even higher price. The other guilds would definitely think twice after seeing their price, so they had to advertise hard…

The cape’s permitted usage level is level 50, and having Wang Yu as a model would be far more appealing than just a description of the cape.

“I see…”

Wang Yu nodded and continued, “I have a cape too…” After saying that, he took out his Angel’s Wings.

…

At the same time in the Last of Eastern Han guild’s office, Extravagant Riches, the president, was listening to Deception’s report.

“What? We didn’t manage to even get one? Didn’t I ask you to get at least five hundred?” Extravagant Riches stood up after hearing what Deception said.

Deception replied, “It was difficult for me too. There were people spoiling the market in Twilight City, and we could not do anything. Even Ling Yun Cabinet did not get anything.”

Extravagant heard and continued, “Spoiling the market? Who dares to do that? If I am not wrong, only Sanguine Warflag is worthy of doing that? They are not stupid though, so why would they do that?”

“It’s not even Sanguine Warflag who did it…” Deception said, “They did not even show up.”

“Who was it then?” Extravagant Riches was pissed, “Can’t you just tell me everything at once?!””Uhm…” Deception said immediately, “it’s Quan Zhen Sect!”

“Quan Zhen Sect?” Extravagant Riches was stunned for a moment and continued, “So it was this group of playful fellas. Did you not mention our guild?”

“This…” Deception hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t think you want to know…”

Extravagant Riches did not get angry, but instead nodded and said, “Oh, too bad. These guys were really hard to reason with, and they even challenged Termination Manor once. You guys should be lucky that you were not dead yet.”

“…”

After hearing what Extravagant Riches said, Deception felt so wronged and felt relieved that he backed out early enough, if not he would have died.

“Why don’t we bring more people there to try again?” Deception said after much thought.

Though Deception admitted his defeat, he still felt unfair and wanted to create trouble in Twilight City.

To his surprise, Extravagant Riches said, “It’s okay. If we did not manage to get fragments, this means that the other guilds did not get them too. Those rascals are not to be trifled with.”

“So we give up just like that?” Deception did not expect Extravagant Riches would let it go this fast.

Deception was the one who got frightened, and seeing this reaction from Extravagant Riches, he could not help but feel disappointed.

Extravagant Riches sighed, “What else can we do then? Do you expect us to form an alliance with other guilds just to go against Quan Zhen Sect? If we win, that’s good. But if we happen to lose, we will be the ones in big trouble. Don’t you know how the people in Quan Zhen Sect behave?”

Extravagant Riches felt sorrowful every time he mentioned Quan Zhen Sect.

Deception thought for a while and said, “Actually, I have a way to kill them.”

“Kill them? How?” Extravagant Riches was stunned.

Deception continued, “There are only less than twenty people in Quan Zhen Sect, and the fragments they bought are definitely not for internal use.”

“That’s true!” Extravagant Riches agreed. In that case, a few hundred fragments would be more than enough.

Deception continued, Since they did not buy the fragments for internal use, they must be doing it to monopolise the market. A small guild like them would definitely not be able to afford these many fragments, unless…”

“A loan!” Extravagant Riches was enlightened.

“Mhm!” Deception nodded and said, “The system has a high-interest rate, if we could form an alliance with the other big guilds to not buy anything from them, they would be slaughtered by the system anytime.”
