Peak Of Perfection seemed to be ignorant of the ‘popularity’ of his name. When he heard Fearless’ question, he replied with absolute confidence, “That’s right, I am that Peak Of Perfection!” Everyone wondered who was the one who gave him this sense of superiority.
“Ahem…” Hearing Peak Of Perfection’s words, the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect immediately had the same avaricious expression as Fearless.
This was a live cash cow in front of them. If he really was that Peak Of Perfection, killing him and any equipment dropped would be enough to earn them a fortune.
Peak Of Perfection kept his calmness in the face of these unexpected stares. Not only did he not lie, he even said in an unperturbed manner, “Don’t look at me in that manner. Can’t you see that I don’t have much equipment on me? Moreover, I’m here in hopes of collaborating with you guys. Killing me won’t get you anything.”
“Oh…” Everyone listened before proceeding to size Peak Of Perfection up. This kid was really not equipped with much. It seemed like he was killed more often than the Quan Zhen Sect had killed others.
Without much equipment on him, he gave the Quan Zhen Sect no reason to kill him. By stating his purpose of coming here, he dismissed the evil thoughts of the Quan Zhen Sect.
After all, killing Peak Of Perfection would at most give them one piece of equipment. Working with Peak Of Perfection had a higher possibility of gaining much more benefits. As long as one was not dumb, it should be easy to weigh the pros and cons.
Fearless, who kept quiet after a while, touched his chin as he went deep in his thoughts. He had a whole new level of respect for this legendary man.
Even though Peak Of Perfection was a timid man, there were no traces of fear and panic in his words and actions. On the contrary, this fella was brimming with confidence from the beginning. Confidence like this could not be faked as it came from within a powerful person.
Fearless was also this type of powerful man which explained why he was ultra sensitive to similar players.
Even though Peak Of Perfection only said a few sentences, every sentence went straight to the point. Within the few sentences, he introduced himself and made sure nobody dared to touch him. Evidently, this kid’s brain was functioning well.
Of course, this was within logical reasoning. Peak Of Perfection was a top expert in terms of gaming strategies. If he didn’t have brains, how could he be addressed as that if he was merely a coward who ran away every time he was required to fight?
“Collaboration? We’re on different paths so how can we collaborate?” Fearless smiled as he asked Peak Of Perfection.
When faced against a smart and knowledgeable opponent, Fearless had always been the most cautious.
“Haha!” Peak Of Perfection smiled before replying, “I’ve recently encountered a high-level quest and I believe the ultimate objective is in your Twilight City. Everyone should know that I am not good at fighting and I’ve heard from this brother that your Quan Zhen Sect is the best squad in Twilight City. This explains my trip here…”
Peak Of Perfection looked at Fearless again as he asked, “Boss Fearless seems very wary of me. Are you afraid of me?”
“Heh, Fearless, he said that you’re scared of him! You can accept that insult?”
Quan Zhen Sect was filled with mischievous fellas. When Fearless was called out by this reputable coward, everyone started rejoicing and making fun of Fearless.
Fearless was not angry as he simply smiled, “Brother Peak, both of us are knowledgeable men so there is no need for any mind games. Only a fool will fall for such low-level psychological insult.”
As he said that, Fearless turned to look at the happiest Ming Du and Vainglory.
The rest of them pointed their middle fingers at Fearless. “You are the fool! A simple fool!”
“Haha…” Peak Of Perfection couldn’t help but laugh when he saw how ridiculous the Quan Zhen Sect was. “Then I shall be direct about this. This is a hidden dungeon and I need to retrieve a tool. I can guarantee that my remuneration for you will definitely be satisfying. If you’re willing, I can show you the quest now.”
“What tools do you need to retrieve?” Wang Yu suddenly asked.
Peak Of Perfection shook his head before answering, “I don’t know but this tool is heavily guarded by the BOSS. This is why I need you guys to help lure the BOSS away.”
“Lure the BOSS? Too troublesome…” Wang Yu said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. When the time comes, I will look at the geography of the place and give you guys a safe plan to lure the BOSS away…”
“That’s not what I meant…”
Peak Of Perfection was speaking but Wang Yu interrupted, “My point is that we can just slaughter the BOSS. There is no need to go through so much trouble to lure him away.”
“F*ck…” Peak Of Perfection glanced at Wang Yu before shaking his head again, “No, no, no, I think you didn’t understand what I said. That BOSS is not something you guys can handle. Otherwise, I wouldn’t need to hire experts just to lure the BOSS away.”
“Really?” a doubtful Wang Yu asked.
Peak Of Perfection replied, “Of course, the earlier BOSS in one of the earlier stages of this quest has already exterminated several notable squads.”
Peak Of Perfection’s quest should be a chain quest. According to the logic, the BOSS’s strength should increase after each stage. If the BOSS from the previous stage was already so disgusting, the ultimate BOSS must be incomparably powerful.
The few squads that Peak Of Perfection hired for the earlier stages were all reputable squads. In Peak Of Perfection’s eyes, the Quan Zhen Sect should be of the same standard as those squads.
He didn’t have hopes on them defeating the BOSS but he believed they should be strong enough to lure the BOSS.
Fearless replied, “Since the BOSS is so strong, I believe we have to look at the remuneration you’re offering first.”
“Of course!” It was definitely nice to be working with smart people. The moment Fearless finished his sentence, Peak Of Perfection already took out a pile of dazzling items and placed them on the table.
When the ground beetles of the Quan Zhen Sect saw the items on the table, all of them had their eyes wide opened.
“This is the [Crowd Lightning Skill].” Ming Du pounced forward to hug the skill book as he cried out.
The [Crowd Lightning Skill] was a magic skill that wasn’t considered the strongest damage skill. However, this skill was extremely important to a Lightning Wizard. This was because this was the preposition skill of the [Explosive Lightning Split]. The [Explosive Lightning Split], on the other hand, was the preposition skill of a Lightning Wizard’s greatest and ultimate skill, [Great Honourable Lightning].
Because of this unique nature, the [Crowd Lightning Skill] was considered to be a Lightning wizard’s best seller. However, the production of this skill was low and Hidden Lurker was the only person Ming Du had heard of who had learnt this skill.
“My god, it is the [Absolute Defense]…” Crotch Lord’s mouth opened wide at the skill book.
[Absolute Defense] could allow Guardians to be invincible for a period of time. It was also considered to be a skill that wasn’t very impressive but extremely rare.
The other skill books and pieces of equipment on the table were not much different in terms of rarity as compared to the first two items. Every item had a unique skill which was why they were rare…
To be able to obtain so many rare items… This strategy master was indeed living up to his name.
“How about we run after taking the items?” Ming Du said in the guild chat.
Vainglory replied, “Wouldn’t that be a daylight robbery? There is no use of our skills at all…”
“How about we get Old Bull to hold him, and I steal from him?” When Frost Blade saw that someone had stored more items than him, he started to have peculiar ideas in his head.
