Chapter 52: Friendship? A Hundred Million!

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Friendship? A Hundred Million!

Stripped of his position, Zhou Yangming stormed off in indignation.

With the farce concluded, Su Mingde walked over to Yu Zhun with an apologetic smile. "You must be Yu Zhun. I am truly sorry.

"Hong has mentioned you to me before. I took this matter very seriously and specifically reminded the supervisor in charge of recruitment. I never expected Zhou Yangming to interfere and cause such a huge misunderstanding..."

He looked around, noticing countless burning gazes fixed upon them, and let out a soft cough. "This isn’t the best place to talk. Shall we go somewhere else?"

"Alright," Yu Zhun nodded. He could roughly guess what the man wanted to say.

"Hong, Yue, you two come as well." Su Mingde waved at the Su family siblings. "There’s still some time before the next round, so there’s no rush."

The four of them soon arrived at a quiet conference room within the Divine Revelation Hall. The location had been chosen by Su Mingde. And his choice was quite interesting. Although the Divine Revelation Hall didn’t investigate player killings within the Divine Revelation World, it didn’t mean one could casually murder other players right under their noses. This was clearly part of Su Mingde’s way of expressing his sincerity.

Inside the conference room, Su Mingde spoke earnestly. "Yu Zhun, although it might be a bit brazen of me to say this, I still hope you can join our Hanlong Guild if possible. The Godslayer Guild is merely a One Star guild; we can offer you far more dungeon resources.

"With your track record of perfectly clearing the Bloody City, whatever players you need for a raid team or whatever dungeon you want to conquer—just say the word. Our guild will definitely do everything in our power to coordinate it.

"This is something a small guild simply cannot provide.

"If you still hold a grudge about what happened earlier, the Hanlong Guild is more than willing to offer compensation..."

"Uncle Su, thank you for the invitation," Yu Zhun said, shaking his head. "You might not know this, but I’m the one who created the Godslayer Guild."

Su Mingde froze for a moment, then let out a sigh. He had originally thought Yu Zhun had merely joined a One Star guild, meaning there was still a chance he might jump ship. But Yu Zhun had created the guild himself. That meant it was impossible for him to join the Hanlong Guild.

"It seems I was presumptuous." Su Mingde smiled bitterly. "Since you’re already a guild master, let’s change our approach.

"Would you be interested in... sharing your experience in clearing the Bloody City?" he asked earnestly. "Our Hanlong Guild is quite well-off financially. If you’re willing to share, we can negotiate a price."

Hearing this, Yu Zhun pondered for a moment.

"I can share it." Glancing at a fidgety Su Hong nearby, he smiled. "Su Hong and I are friends, so there’s no need to talk about a price."

Even though the guide Su Hong had given him was completely wrong, the friendship behind it wasn’t wrong at all.

"Actually, achieving a perfect clear isn’t that difficult..." Yu Zhun briefly explained the general method of beating the dungeon.

Of course, he didn’t mention a single word about exactly how he killed the monsters and bosses. Su Mingde and the Su family siblings were tactful enough not to ask.

"You can’t drink that cup of water, or your infection rate will double when facing the final boss?" Su Mingde’s eyes widened after listening to the strategy. "And the final boss is hiding in the well in the tailor shop’s backyard?"

"The backstory we deduced was completely wrong," he said, shaking his head with a wry smile. "This is just..."

Sometimes, the line between right and wrong was paper-thin. In that brief moment, he had already figured out the method for a perfect clear. Kill the Blood Corpse King as quickly as possible, open the invisible wall, and then return to kill the final boss, the Blood Demon. The most important thing was not to drink that water. The Hanlong Guild’s most elite raid team held the record for the fastest clear time at under twenty minutes... With a lower infection rate, a perfect clear was not entirely impossible!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"No!" He abruptly lifted his head and looked at Yu Zhun. "This strategy is incredibly precious! We couldn’t possibly take it without paying!

"Yu Zhun, please wait a moment!" Su Mingde quickly contacted a few other executives. A moment later, he looked up. "One hundred million."

If Yu Zhun had provided a complete, detailed guide instead of just his clearing experience, one hundred million definitely wouldn’t have been enough. But since the Hanlong Guild would have to use this experience and undergo numerous attempts to summarize a fully detailed guide on their own, one hundred million was a very fair price. Even though it was only a Lv. 20 dungeon, it was a strategy for a perfect clear!

"Consider this a token of friendship from the Hanlong Guild. Please, you must accept it!" Su Mingde said with a serious expression.

Yu Zhun was speechless.

"Holy crap, that’s a lot of money," he thought. "What token of friendship? This is a hundred million!"

"Then I suppose... it would be rude to refuse?" Yu Zhun blinked and gave him his bank account number.

After Su Mingde contacted the guild to complete the transfer, he turned his gaze to Su Hong and Su Yue. "Did you two memorize what Yu Zhun just said?"

The siblings nodded vehemently.

"Your raid team has seven people, and you applied for a 2A dungeon." Su Mingde thought for a moment. "The raid team whose application was rejected today has eight people, and their strength is quite decent.

"It’s perfect. The two teams combined will hit the maximum player limit for the raid.

"I’ll arrange for them to form a team with you, and together you’ll tackle the dungeon using the new method." He patted Su Hong on the shoulder.

This would be the Hanlong Guild’s first time using the new method to raid a dungeon! Although there was a certain risk of failure, even a failure would be of great significance. Su Mingde also had his own selfish motives—he naturally wanted to give such an opportunity to his own son and niece. As for bringing along the team that had been rejected, on one hand, a perfect clear was much more difficult and required more manpower; on the other hand, it would completely erase their hostility toward the Godslayer Guild. It was hitting three birds with one stone.

While they were talking, Yu Zhun received a notification that the one hundred million had been deposited into his account, sending a jolt through his heart. That was a hundred million! In all his life, Yu Zhun had never seen so much money. Although it was only enough to enhance the Three Divine Talismans twenty times... At that thought, he immediately calmed down. "Enhancing equipment really is a bottomless pit..." he thought.

"Yu Zhun, I’ll repeat it once. Tell me if I’ve got it right..."

At the thought of soon leading a raid team as the core commander, Su Hong couldn’t help but feel nervous, opting to double-check the details with Yu Zhun.

Soon, they reached the final step of verifying the details.

"...After killing the Blood Demon, we still use the badge to teleport out, right?"

"Correct," Yu Zhun nodded. "That’s how I did it. After killing the Blood Demon, I activated the badge at the bottom of the well and left."

After saying this, he couldn’t help but frown. He had originally planned to use his secondary appearance when leaving the dungeon to avoid drawing attention to himself after achieving a perfect clear. But when he came out, he completely forgot to change his appearance, ultimately attracting a lot of unwanted attention.

"That shouldn’t have happened..." he thought. "Is my memory really that bad?"
