Chapter 191 -182: Brother Finally Made a Fortune!
Da Fei approached the Great Elder and Chief of Staff to request a reservation for a large ship.
The Great Elder shook his head on the spot: “Warrior! This won’t do. First, this matter is not under my control; second, it’s against principles. We must adhere to principles.”
Da Fei urgently asked: “What are the principles?”
The Great Elder laughed: “Of course it’s to follow the rules. You can buy the corresponding ship when your prestige is enough. Who gets a ship without paying first?”
Damn! And here I was, getting rewards before completing the task! Turns out their principle is that there are no principles!
In the end, it’s just like a company giving more benefits to outstanding employees. On the surface, they reward with cars and better offices to improve employee welfare, but ultimately, it’s to serve the company better, not to unduly benefit individuals.
It seems there’s no way through with the ship, but no worries, I still have Mayor Elorin and Duke Markar’s connections.
Now, it’s time to talk business!
Da Fei earnestly said: “Great Elder, before I departed, Mayor Elorin promised that if I complete this arduous mission, I would be nominated for the Gru Hero inheritance.”
The Great Elder hummed, then patted Da Fei’s shoulder with a meaningful tone: “As the Chief of Staff, I’m only responsible for commanding battles. The grand matter of hero inheritance is not under my control either. But one thing for sure, warrior, you haven’t completed the task yet, have you? The Pool of Radiance still isn’t purified, right?”
Damn! I almost snorted out a booger! Wasn’t it supposed to be a reward for the Abyss Blood Pool? Why also include the Pool of Radiance? The World Tree is dormant, how many years will it take to purify the Pool of Radiance! Is this suggesting I keep being the newbie for months?
The Great Elder smiled gleefully: “So, warrior, put all your efforts into purifying the Pool of Radiance. When the time comes, I will also nominate you, submitting a request for the Gru Hero inheritance to the Kingdom! You are the finest hero in our Alliance; this inheritance is rightfully yours. Moreover, once completed, our staff department will exceptionally promote you to a lieutenant in the Elf Kingdom, that’s a bright future indeed!”
Da Fei was stunned: “Rightfully mine? Could there be someone else competing?”
The Great Elder smiled: “Who wouldn’t want to become the strongest hero? To accelerate our steps toward conquering the New World, the Kingdom will select an inheritor from the ten most outstanding youth. But so far, warrior, you are far ahead, so I have high hopes for you!”
–System Prompt: You have received information about the Gru Hero inheritance.
Damn it! So this is just a way to motivate others to work desperately for the Kingdom! Turns out I’m not playing a single-player game! Da Fei felt deceived; the so-called hero inheritance is just a bunch of bananas hanging over the elephant’s head, always in sight but never easy to reach!
Since there are competitors, can I, a human, smoothly receive the inheritance from the Elf Kingdom? Won’t there be manipulations against me? Cut it, I have a big shot, Markar, on the human side. And since the inheritance is divided into three parts, let me secure the human side’s inheritance first. But is this inheritance really that awesome? I feel like with my current dual deputy roles, I am already incredibly powerful!
The Great Elder said smilingly: “In any case, if there’s anything unclear, you can always come here. Our doors will always be open for you, warrior!”
Damn, it’s not like it’s the door to the girls’ dormitory. Like I care! The scene changes, and Da Fei is escorted out to the World Tree Square. Now penniless, I don’t even have the fare to go back to see Mayor Elorin or Markar! I have three level 31 heroes, teleporting once costs 930 gold coins! Where do I get the fare? Maybe take a newbie through an instance?
While hesitating, Da Fei’s message alert went off. It’s Lei Huolong! Oh yeah, the big spender is here! Maybe I could borrow some spending money?
Lei Huolong said: “Brother Fei, you’re online, huh? Got time now? Let’s talk about the inheritance, the sooner we finish the sooner I can report back to my boss.”
Nonsense! I’m a celebrity, becoming the focal point of the crowd once I appear, and you didn’t notice I was surrounded in the World Tree Square. Fine, it’s also time to make this big deal happen. As a professional player, what kind of professional player am I if I haven’t succeeded in any deals!
Da Fei replied: “I’ve got all the free time, like a beggar now, how do we trade?”
Lei Huolong chuckled: “Does Brother Fei have a Gold Hunting Net account? We can trade through the Gold Hunting Net escrow.”
Just like that. As a professional player, having an account with Gold Hunting Net escrow is a must. Although Heroic Creation Era is a world-class game, the game itself will never support real money transactions between players. Online transactions still rely on this most ancient method: the buyer sends money to the middleman agency’s account, and then the middleman agency sends a small account to log into the game to receive virtual items.
Now that the mode of transaction is settled, it’s time to discuss the price.
Lei Huolong chuckled: “Brother Fei, name your price.”
Name my price! This isn’t about buying a pack of cigarettes or instant noodles; this is a deal worth millions, a life-changing deal! Although I don’t believe in those million dollar figures touted on the forums, I have my psychological price in mind, but when it comes to naming my price, I still hesitate! This is a long-term poor man’s awe of money!
How much? 500? 800? Dare to ask for so much! Or should I go straight with 300? Not okay, he will surely bargain. How about directly 600?
As Da Fei hesitates, Lei Huolong, no, Ma Jialong, is also hesitant. What he fears and hates the most is this kind of player, accidentally striking a jackpot but not knowing its use or its value. You ask for a price, he says: “You tell me!” You give a price, and he just keeps silent, afraid of being short-changed!
