Chapter 43: The Recruitment Scam

  The wind whistled as they approached, and he replied, "Yes, we're here to dig up treasure. What's the problem?"

  "Haha, then those two don't need to bother anymore. Actually, Jin Money Leopard is just like other animals and won't drop money or items!"

  The wind was blowing gently and suddenly stopped, turned around to look at the聚宝盆 (聚 means gathering, 宝 means treasure, 盆 means basin), the聚宝盆 was walking towards him, asking: "How did you know?"

  "That person smiled and said: 'Actually, I was the one who released that news!'"

  "What, you... why!" The two were shocked again, and the聚宝盆 had already pounced forward, unleashing the anger that had been suppressed for over an hour. Wielding the large sword in his hand, he shouted as he hacked towards the other person: "I'll hack you to death, you cheat!"

  The opponent, however, remained calm and composed, effortlessly dodging the first sword strike from the treasure basin while simultaneously drawing out his own long sword from his waist to meet the second incoming strike. The two only saw a flash of light before their eyes, but without any piercing sensation, and when they came back to their senses, the treasure basin found that its large sword had transformed into a dagger.

  The two were shocked, especially the聚宝盆. Although he had seen many divine weapons, this was his first time seeing one that could destroy an opponent's weapon. Meanwhile, 风萧萧 was sighing on the side, lamenting that people who use swords are as common as cow hair these days.

  That person was clearly very satisfied with the effect of this sword and said leisurely to the two people: "Can I explain it to you?"

  Jubao Pan was still immersed in the sword just now, and after hearing what the man said, he raised his head to look at him, with a questioning gaze.

  He said: "If you two are old players of the game, you will certainly know that equipment accounts for a large proportion of the several major parts that attract people in the game."

  Jubao Pan nodded.

  That person continued to say: "The rivers and lakes initially claimed that there would be no ready-made settings in the game, but eventually gave up this idea, because it is simply impossible! Without equipment in the game, the fun will be reduced by half, and for some people, it's all!"

  He said that, and the man stopped for a moment, looking at the reactions of the two. The face of Jibao was full of approval, while Feng Xiao's expression remained unchanged.

  "And I'm one of those people," he continued. "Playing any game and collecting the equipment is my greatest pleasure..."

  Ju Bao Pen interrupted him here: "These are all the same as me, but what does this have to do with this matter?"

  He smiled and said, "Because I want to gather all the people in this game who share my interests together and form a gang. Rather than getting to know them one by one, it's better to bring everyone together like this."

  "But most people who hear this news will come and take a look, they are not necessarily all interested in equipment."

  "So at first, I didn't show up, and I went back and forth to several places where monsters refreshed more frequently. Basically, after fighting for over an hour, I still hadn't gotten anything, but I didn't give up. That's when I would go negotiate with him." The person paused for a moment before continuing, "I saw the two of you over an hour ago, and now it's almost been two hours. You're both still in the forest, which shows that your attachment to equipment is stronger than anyone else's."

  The wind was whispering, thinking that we weren't persistent, but didn't know where the refresh was faster and more abundant, so hadn't encountered any monsters yet. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a wave of the聚宝盆's hand, "I'm very interested in this idea of yours, what's the name of this guild?"

  "I'm going to call it 'Money Gang', although it sounds a bit vulgar, but for our tribe that loves equipment, this name is quite suitable, most of the people just now agreed with this name!"

  "Hmm, I think so too, but with just this little skill, how many people can you find?"

  "Hehe, since I posted the message on the forum, there have been people coming non-stop 24 hours a day. At first, it was just me alone, but later some people who had agreed to join my group also came to help out, so the efficiency has been increasing constantly. And don't forget, the people who can come here to fight are all around level 50 or higher, which is considered high-level in the game. The quality is guaranteed."

  "This is the reason you chose this place? Your fondness for equipment won't level up, you know!"

  He smiled and explained: "That's not it, mainly because I'm from the Hengshan Sect, so I'm more familiar with this place."

  "How many people have you gathered now?" asked Jupao.

  "I haven't counted this yet, but rest assured that the number of people will not be less than those big gangs. And through this method, I found that the longer someone stays in the forest, the more likely they will become a backbone of our gang. After all, in our gang, we can't just look at levels!"

  "Hmm, that makes sense!" The Golden Cauldron nodded repeatedly.

  "What do you think, you two? Any opinions?" he asked with a smile.

  The wind was whispering silently, and the聚宝盆 said: "Hmm, not bad, but earlier that sword of yours... how did it become so fierce?"

  "That guy burst out laughing and said: 'I knew you'd definitely ask, you're really into equipment!'"

  The treasure basin is also a smile of relief.

  That man laughed and said, "My sword is also a top-notch one, but just now when I cut off your sword, it really gave me a fright. I reckon the durability of your sword has almost run out. The consumption of durability in the clash between weapons is indeed very fast. When a strong attacking weapon clashes with a weaker one, the difference in durability consumed by both sides is like heaven and earth!"

  Jubao Pan nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but feel emotional: "This is something I've never noticed before!"

  "That man smiled and said: 'This sword of mine is called "Azure Water Green Dragon", I forged it myself!'"

  The wind whispered to hear himself build, his ears immediately perked up, and the Aladdin's lamp also asked out the question he had been expecting: "What attribute?"

  "Attack 2500-3500, Hit 100, Speed 120, Weight 75."

  "Awesome!" The聚宝盆 exclaimed repeatedly!

  "How come I've never seen it in the Arsenal Catalogue?" asked Feng Xiao Xiao.

  That person looked at him with an insider's gaze and exclaimed in surprise, "You're talking about the 'Jianghu Arms Spectrum' on the forum? That thing is called a arms spectrum, but actually it's a ranking list of people's strength, not ranked according to the pros and cons of the weapon attributes!"

  "Then your level isn't high?"

  "I'm 66 years old!"

  "Level 66!" The two exclaimed, this was already a very high level at present.

  "Alas, now that we've leveled up, it's getting harder and harder. Without the support of higher levels, we can't go to high-level places to hunt for treasure!" The person sighed.

  "I didn't participate in those martial arts tournaments, and I've always been solo when hunting treasures and leveling up, so I'm not on that soldier's ranking list you mentioned!" The man noticed the two people's confusion and continued to explain.

  The two nodded together.

  The man asked: "How about it, are you interested in my 'Golden Money Gang'?"

  The two of them exchanged a glance, and Ju Bao Pen said sincerely: "I'm very interested in your guild, but we're just a few friends playing together in real life, let's go back and discuss it."

  "That's great, no problem. If your friend wants to come over, they're welcome too! Our guild isn't saying we don't like equipment just because we're not enthusiastic about it!" The "my guild" from earlier has now changed to "our guild".

  "Okay, how can I contact you then?"

  "My name is Duobao Qimou, add me as a friend, and when the time comes, just send me a private message, or come directly to our guild, we're going to build it in Chang'an City!"

  "Built in the city? That would cost even more money!" exclaimed Jing Bao.

  "That's for sure, but our Ai Bao family has never been short of money!" The man smiled and said, "Alright, I'm going to persuade others now, you guys remember to come find me later!" He turned around and left.

  Jubao Pan added the other party as a friend, and in an instant, the other party also added him as a friend. "Treasure Hunter's Cunning Plan, this name is really fitting!" Jubao Pan muttered to himself.
