Reborn: Super God of War Chapter 140

“Flare!”

Light Spellcaster Eire used Flare, and the team took some heavy damage!

The priest quickly waved his wand and healed the team . Their HP went back slowly .

“Flare!”

Boom—

The attack sent the Shield Specialist flying and fell on the ground heavily . Dead! The team was wiped out instantly!

“It was really hard . ” Dumb Fox climbed up . He was thinking of a strategy to deal with the situation without discourage . “The current Boss attack is higher than what we can take . Unless we have a way to increase our damage immunity . ”

Midnight said in a helpless tone, “All our equipment have light enchantment and magic defense . We drank Light-Resistance Potion before fighting it to… But it is useless . Now we are consuming 50 gold coins a day if this goes on…”

Indeed, exploring dungeons came with both risks and profits .

When the Boss was killed, the good drops would cover the cost and could even give a profit . But if stuck at a Boss for too long, the cost would be really high!

Take for example Triumphant Midnight . Every time a team was wiped out, the effect of the potions would be gone, and they needed to drink it again . A potion that bestowed +10 Middle-Grade Light-Resistance and lasted 15 minutes would cost 5 silver coins each . There were 15 members in a team . The total was 75 .

The endurance of equipment would drop after a wipe-out, and the repair cost was about 3 gold coins each time .

Considering the cost of potions and equipment… the profit would be close to zero when they had 5 wipe-outs .

Triumphant Midnight had 13 wipe-outs so far, that was a loss of dozens of gold coins!

Exchanging that to cash, it was about 4,000 to 5,000$! That was even more than what some small businesses could take .

Ding~

“Sly old fox . How's the dungeon? My team got wiped out again . ” Ghost Eyes sent in a message . “C'mon . Tell me your team got wiped out too . ”

“Old jerk . ” Dumb Fox was unsure of whether to laugh or cry .

Not only that, Angel Descent, Forest Promise and other guilds made no progress either . The only leading one was the Dark-Robed Knights . They had killed the first Boss with luck and ability . But they had a really hard time with the Devourers in the Neutral Camp .

“Sly old fox, wanna party?” asked Ghost Eyes smilingly . “Our guys are better . When we clear the Boss, just mention my Hunter's Guild . ”

Normally, Dumb Fox would have flame him back .

But now… he was actually considering that . If Ghost Eyes was really willing to cooperate and he made a small sacrifice on his side, maybe they could clear it…

Suddenly, Dumb Fox changed his mind . He replied, “Nah, we almost had it . You can be depressed on your own . LOL…”

The chat column had a message and a screenshot: “I have a video on the clearance of the first Boss . Not sure if you are interested?”

Dumb Fox checked the screenshot . Although it was blurry and edited, the death of Eire could still be seen .

“Price?” asked Dumb Fox cautiously .

“50K . ” The response was quick .

“Too expensive . ” Dumb Fox frowned . “A video on the first Boss cost 50K? The entire cost of the dungeon would be hundreds of thousand?”

“LOL… You can't think of it that way,” said the voice said in a laughing tone . “I only had one copy of this . Let's say, I sell it to another guild, and they clear the first Boss . The price would be much higher if you were to buy it from them . ”

Dumb Fox smiled coldly and said, “How can you promise to sell only to me?”

“Hahaha… I don't think I need to promise? The problem is whether you believe it or not . Fine, since you are so cautious, maybe I'll just contact Ghost Eyes . He might be interested . ”

“Wait! 50K right? I'll buy it! But you cannot sell it to others!”

“Hahaha, pleasant deal!”

Dumb Fox made up his mind . He had already lost a lot so far anyway . He probably would not clear it after he spent 50K on his own anyway if this went on .

The video was soon sent over . The video was edited such that the face and equipment of the players could not be seen . Even the damage numbers were mosaic .

It would be easy to spot Lin Jie with his extremely high damage if the video were to be leaked out .

He noticed that the damage of the Boss was extremely low!

“How did y' all do this?” asked Dumb Fox excitedly . His team could totally manage the Boss if the damage of the Boss was so low .

“Hehehe…”

Dumb Fox immediately understood the laughter . “Name your price . ”

“Master Fox is indeed straightforward . I'm not a mean person . I'll tell the method for free . ” The voice laughed . “They used [Light Enchanted Scroll] . Alright, that's all . Master Fox, have fun!”

Dumb Fox seemed to have hit the jackpot and started to search for this item .

“Point? 1,000 points could activate the second tier of the shop?” Dumb Fox was delighted . He said to Midnight, “Ask all the members to hand over their points!”

Midnight smiled bitterly . “There are no points left… All the points are sold to City of Light Central Auction House since it started to buy the points . ”

Indeed, the players with points sold it to Lin Jie the moment they got it . They were worried that maybe the offer would not last long .

If he had to buy now, he could only buy in small portions . To get 1,000 points and points for the items would take days!

Dumb Fox could not wait at all!

Dumb Fox frowned and checked the auction house . He almost fainted . 100 points for 1,000$!

There was an offer: 1,000 points for 9,900$!

There was a footnote below: Payment only in cash . Limited stock, only until it lasts .

“Damn these Profiteers!” Dumb Fox was aggrieved .

A team with 15 people would need six scrolls each . Even if the success rate was 100%, they would need 90 scrolls! 1 scroll cost 100 points, and 1 point was 10$…

Dumb Fox was bleeding internally!

He spent 50,000$ on the video and had to spend another 90,000$ on the items now?

The bad thing was, he just had to buy them! Everyone was stuck at the first Boss, and that was his weakness!

Dumb Fox decided to buy . With everything he had put in, the miracle worked as all the 90 scrolls succeeded!

After two hours, Triumphant Midnight killed Light Spellcaster Eire!

“Hahahaha…” Dumb Fox was delighted . He suddenly had an idea, since others could make money, he could do the same!

He immediately called Ghost Eyes .

“Ghost, I have a video on the first Boss . I'm selling you cheap at 50K because we are friends . Do you want it?”

“Lol . ”

The scoff had puzzled Dumb Fox .

After 2 minutes .

Hunter's Guild killed the first Boss! The method was exactly the same!

Not only that, Angel Descent killed it too! Forest Promise killed it too! The Boss which many guilds were stuck on became easy out of a sudden, and many guilds had killed it!

“Damn these Profiteers!” Dumb Fox finally understood what was going on .

Profiteers! Profiteers!

“I thought the video was only for me?”

“Are you f*cking kidding me?”

“F*ck you Brotherhood! You guys are notorious!”

Zheng Ziliang closed all the scolding messages and said to Lin Jie smilingly . “What a profit . ”

The profit was high indeed!

Eight guilds had bought the video, so the income from those transactions was 400,000$! Not only that, they sold 200,000 points, about half of the stock!

That was 2 . 4 million income in total!

However, what came next was numerous scolding posts on the forum! They accused the Brotherhood of fraud and chat records were posted .

Lin Jie was expected that too .

Some Brotherhood's member posted: “I am the son of the Prime Minister of the country . I need money urgently to get toilets . Please transfer the money ASAP!”

“What a scam there . ”

“Can't you see they hide their name? Low IQ then stay at home . These records are probably fake too!”

“Good to hear some guilds are messing with Brotherhood again . Which guild base will get destroyed now?”

That had shut everyone's mouth!

The influence of the Brotherhood was too great . Many scattered people who could not feed themselves, in reality, joined the Brotherhood . They could keep themselves fed and cozy by just working hard for missions .

How could such an organization be insulted?

Members from other guilds were unhappy, and they started to flame with one another!

Finally, someone noticed the key problem here . Points were sold by the auction house, and they were the one buying it as well! The owner of the auction house was behind all of this!

Suddenly, all the public opinions were against City of Light Central Auction House . Some people suggested stopping putting items up on the auction house . Many agreed!

The stock was almost empty instantly!

But within a few hours, those stocks were back secretly . There was no official place for them to use the cash exchange system other than there . The Black market?

Unfortunately, since the auction house was opened, the Black market had closed shop .

City of Light Central Auction House had control over the economy! It was only safe and fair to trade there! That was why people only wanted to trade there!

So, the terrible public opinions disappeared just like that! Brotherhood was not affected at all . Not only that, “Savage Blade” was well-known to everyone now .

Some of them even called it “Brotherhood Guild”!
