“Really?” Berserk Thundergod was worrying after hearing how even Wang Yu did not know the background story. Now that Fearless offered, Berserk Thundergod was revitalised.
“Boss Fearless, don’t cheat my feelings…” Berserk Thundergod quickly added as he was afraid that Fearless was lying to him.
“Don’t worry, I don’t cheat people,” Fearless said smilingly.
Berserk Thundergod said agitatedly, “May I know what idea Boss Fearless has that can help me find the hints for this quest?”
“Hehe!” Fearless did not reply Berserk Thundergod but instead, smiled and changed the topic, “Boss Thundergod, your guild has tens of thousands of people. If you can’t do anything about it, why look for us?”
Berserk Thundergod said, “Boss Fearless, aren’t you asking the obvious? Having many people doesn’t mean we will know things like the background story.”
“Oh.” Fearless then said, “Seems like we are the oddbags… Although I have a way to find out the background story, it isn’t that easy, you know…”
Berserk Thundergod knew the rules, but he thought that a simple meal would allow him to bribe some information out of Quan Zhen Sect… Quan Zhen Sect was not so easily satisfied. What a joke to think that they could be satisfied with just one meal.
If Fearless did not know Berserk Heavenlaw’s quest, the price was perhaps negotiable. Now that it was obvious that Quan Zhen Sect had exclusive possession of the information, it would be unforgivable if they did not earn a heavy sum from Berserk Thundergod.
“What do you mean, Boss Fearless?” Berserk Thundergod was also not easy to deal with as seen from how he was acting ignorant. However, Quan Zhen Sect’s actions were also unpredictable. After all, to Berserk Thundergod, all they needed was a little hint. They were just hitting it off over food and drinks, and yet, now they were negotiating over money. This drastic difference was too much to handle.
Fearless smiled, “I know where to get the information, but you have to understand that I have to buy the information. There is no reason for us to pay out of our own pockets, right? I hope Boss Thundergod understands that my brothers have a livelihood to pay for too.”
“Of course. Your hands are already in my wallet, how can I still not understand?” Berserk Thundergod was being sarcastic, then he put on a smile, “How much money does Boss Fearless need to buy the information?” Berserk Thundergod enunciated his words clearly.
“I am not the one buying, you are! I am not greedy; 5000 gold coins would suffice.” Fearless said.
“…” Hearing what Fearless said, everyone started discussing. Wang Yu said, “You are really too greedy. You really intend to earn back every single cent we spent on the quest, with interest.”
Fearless replied, “Hehe, it isn’t so easy. Do you think Berserk Thundergod is stupid?”
“F*ck!”
Indeed, after hearing what Fearless said, Berserk Thundergod exploded and recklessly took out his staff.
Berserk Thundergod was used to buying things in Berserk Thunder City this way… While people used their mouths to haggle prices, he used his staff to slash prices. Everyone knew that this was his way of doing things, but no one dared to stop him.
Wild Thunderheart and the rest were used to this habit of Berserk Thundergod. Seeing him take out his staff, they panickedly tried to hold him down and pointed at Wang Yu who was choosing his weapon.
“…”
Seeing Wang Yu, Berserk Thundergod instantly calmed down and took a deep breath, and said deeply, “Boss Fearless, this is too exorbitant.”
“Really? Then that’s fine, we are in a rush to return. We might miss the last airship.” Fearless stood up as he spoke, preparing to leave.
“You… Boss Fearless, wait, anything can be discussed.”
Berserk Thundergod hurriedly stood up to correct his words. At the same time, he also felt nostalgic. He was well-known for being shameless but now that he met someone more shameless, he could only surrender to karma.
“What is there to discuss? If you think it is too expensive, you can choose to not buy it. I can’t force you to buy it.” Fearless said.
“But your price is too ridiculous! 5000 gold coins is really too much.” Berserk Thundergod said upsettingly.
Fearless said, “Boss Thundergod, you’re indeed an honest person. You have so many people in the guild and you want to pay for all of it?”
“Erm…” Berserk Thundergod replied, “Still, it is too expensive. How about 500 gold coins? Just one hint, not anything more.”
“Ok!” Fearless decisively said, “I know that there is an NPC in the city.”
“And the?” Seeing how Fearless did not continue speaking, Berserk Thundergod asked.
“How much information do you think you can buy with 500 gold coins?” Fearless snickered.
“You…” Berserk Thundergod was furious. How different was it from not saying anything?
In a fit of anger, Berserk Thundergod once again wanted to take out his weapon but was once again stopped by his subordinates. Berserk Thundergod turned to look at Wang Yu who was messing with his weapons and calmed down once more.
“Boss Fearless, why don’t you just offer me the best price? Let’s not beat around the bush and do this directly.” Berserk Thundergod said while suppressing his anger.
“4500 is the lowest” Fearless said.
Berserk Thundergod moaned then said, “Ok, 4500 it is. Any discount is still a discount. However, I have a condition too.”
“Speak,” Fearless said with an eyebrow raised.
“I want to go and ask personally.” Berserk Thundergod said. From what Fearless said, it was not hard to guess that Fearless bought his information from that NPC. This was an important hint. If they knew who that NPC was, they would no longer have to beg others for help in the future. It was an ever-lasting benefit.
“Sure!” Fearless nodded.
Hidden Lurker knew the same things as Quan Zhen Sect when it came to Atlanta’s secret. Obviously, he also bought information from the library. Now that Berserk Heavenlaw had so many of United Alliance’s players, very quickly it would no longer be a secret that they could buy information from the library. Hence, there was no point in haggling further.
“Ok, tell me, which NPC has the hints?” Berserk Thundergod asked.
Fearless smiled and said, “Boss Thundergod, you wanted to attack me just now. Now I am extremely fearful. I can’t trust Boss Thundergod as a person. Why don’t you pay up first?”
“Huh, why will I cheat you?” Berserk Thundergod exclaimed as he took out a large bag and threw it at Fearless. Fearless caught it, took a look and reached in, then said, “Why is there only 4500?”
“Didn’t we agree on 4500?” Berserk Thundergod said angrily.
“Didn’t I give you a hint? That was 500 gold coins. Did you forget?”
“F*ck you!!” Berserk Thundergod and even Berserk Heavenly Thunder could no longer hold their anger in. They took out their staff and pointed it at Fearless, saying angrily, “What a liar!”
Fearless used a finger to motion Berserk Heavenly Thunder’s staff away, then said coldly, “Be wary of your words. Do you think you can defeat us?”
Once Fearless finished speaking, everyone in Quan Zhen Sect stood up.
