Chapter 61 I'm a Shopkeeper in the Game World
Yu Xunge asked curiously, "Does the game contract also recognize an official seal?"
Zhao Shuying smiled and said, "Of course I agree."
She regained her composure and elegance, and Yu Xunge even suspected that her previous banter was also a negotiation tactic.
After signing the contract, Yu Xunge was able to find the relevant contract on her character interface, and she checked it again before she felt at ease.
Zhao Shuying: "We will deliver the gold within three days. Whenever you go to any outpost recently, just let the staff there know. We have already entered your information and rank into our system. Your current rank is the highest among the non-staff personnel."
Yu Xunge glanced at the time; it was already 3 o'clock. If she didn't rush out to kill him soon, her revenge would be delayed until the next day. She said, "Okay, I won't go far these next few days. I'm leaving now; I haven't gotten anything important done this afternoon."
Zhao Shuying and Zhao Xianyin escorted her to the entrance of the base on the first floor, attracting the attention of other players.
After leaving the treehouse, Yu Xunge ran into the forest. She put on a black robe to cover her entire body, then cast an illusion spell to arrive at the cave she had reached that morning when she followed Su Zhi. She stood in the corner and began to wait.
While she was at it, she watched alchemy videos in her mind and thought about her next plan.
With five days left until New Year's Day, she plans to level up for the next few days and start exchanging gold for coins once she has enough. She will use her rest time in between to practice alchemy.
After all, she needs to use the Thief God's Disguise skill to exchange for gold. After deducting the reduced cooldown time, she works for 1 hour every 5 hours. During this cooldown time, fighting monsters is not worthwhile, since the environment outside each main city is different. She might finally find a monster, fight for two hours, and then have to go back. It would be better to go to the sewers or somewhere else to practice her professional skills.
Anyway, she can transform into animals and apparite, so escaping won't be a problem no matter what.
As darkness fell, Yu Xunge could already hear the sounds of cursing approaching.
It was Su Zhi and several burly men, a total of 8.
Yu Xunge had calculated this morning that there were a total of 21 people in their group, and she had only killed 10 of them. How come only 8 have returned now?
Do you think she's noticed something?
"No, she's been invited by teams before but she refused, so she wasn't wary."
"She's probably gone to another base again. Didn't they say she didn't have a fixed base?"
"Probably. We'll go back to that area tomorrow to fight monsters and keep watch."
"How could she dare to go so far in by herself? We only dare to fight at level 4... and several of us died today."
"Did you guys notice how much stronger the monster was today? I really couldn't defend against it, otherwise Xiao Si and the others wouldn't have died."
Yu Xunge was too lazy to listen. She took out a grenade, pulled the pin on one and threw it, and after throwing five in a row, she teleported to the outside of the cave.
As soon as Yu Xunge materialized at the cave entrance, he heard an explosion inside.
She waited patiently for five minutes, then, still under the illusion spell, went inside. Looking at the eight mangled "corpses" on the ground from a distance, she didn't approach them but instead pulled out her gun and fired three shots at Su Zhi's head, then at the burly man, and then one after another, firing three shots at each head.
After waiting quietly for a while, she drew her long knife, went inside, cut off everyone's heads, poured gasoline on them, and set them on fire.
It remained invisible throughout the entire process.
Only after seeing the bodies of the several people burned to a crisp did Yu Xunge feel satisfied and use Phantom Teleport again to arrive at Outpost 0003, which was at least two hours away from the crime scene.
Zhao Shuying said three days and it was three days. Before New Year's Day even arrived, Yu Xunge not only paid off all the skill crystals he owed, but also received 100 blank skill crystals and 40,000 catties of gold, which was enough to exchange for 100,000 gold coins.
So much gold was an astronomical figure for her, and even for the Su, Liang, and Han families, it was a huge sum. But for the country's reserves, it was nothing. She could imagine the internal debates they had about this transaction.
After obtaining the gold, she left the stronghold and ventured deep into the forest, running to the territory of level 8 monsters. After circling around to make sure no one was following her, she transformed into a goblin and teleported to the teleportation array in Undercity. Next, she would go find her goblin friends in her various main cities.
She could exchange 40,000 catties of gold for 111,111 gold coins. If she spent more time bargaining with the goblins, she might be able to get a lower price, but these were just her assumptions.
"180g for one? My friend, you can't be serious. Do you know Bill, the rich man in Undercity? He traded 170g with me."
"Then go find him."
"But I want to be friends with you, so 180g is fine."
Yu Xunge left the goblin area and felt that she needed to learn some speaking skills from Zhao Shuying.
"200g for just one gold coin?! Why don't you just rob someone?"
"I never wanted to switch; you were the one begging me. Do you know Bill, the rich man from Undercity?"
"...I know, so what?"
"I heard he used all his savings to buy gold, and for a while he couldn't even afford to eat."
"...Yes, I've heard that too, but he can earn 60g of gold for every gold coin he makes, which means he earns a gold coin for free every two days, and that adds up to 182 gold coins a year."
"Add 50 silver coins."
"...Yes, 182 gold and 50 silver, which is 1825 gold in ten years. So, are you going to exchange it? 180g per gold coin, that's the most I can offer. No one but me would be willing to give you such a great deal."
"Alright, I only have 1,000 here."
Some goblins in the main city are poor, while others are rich, but their bottom line is 180g for one gold coin. If you bargain further, you'll easily anger them. Moreover, after going around and around, she found that Bill was the richest. She never encountered another goblin willing to exchange 20,000 gold coins with her in one go, which greatly reduced her efficiency.
She could disguise herself twice a day, for one hour each time. She originally planned that one hour would be just enough for her to exchange for gold coins and also take a stroll around the alien capital city of Zelan Star. However, she didn't expect it to be not enough at all. Goblins like Bill, who could exchange for 20,000 gold coins at once, were rare. She could only chat with each goblin and exchange for 800 or 1,000 gold coins from them. There were hundreds of goblins in a capital city, and she chatted with them one by one.
She can only visit one main city each day, and that takes two trips. The remaining time is barely enough for her to browse the restaurants in the main city and find local chefs to learn local specialty recipes.
Yu Xunge simply rolled up her sleeves and slept while her skills were on cooldown. Once the 5-hour cooldown was over, she would disguise herself and go into the city to chat with goblins and exchange for gold coins. Fortunately, there was a time difference between the major cities, so she could always find a major city that was in daylight. With nearly four hours of work each day, Yu Xunge managed to exchange for 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins every day.
After a few days, Yu Xunge felt that he knew more goblins than his colleagues in the entertainment industry.
Yu Xunge returned to Undercity and transformed into a cow cat she had found in Ironforge, the dwarven capital. It looked almost identical to the cow cat she had become when she first arrived on Zelan Star. She then ran to Outpost 0003, jumped onto the table, announced her name, and said she was looking for Zhao Shuying.
Zhao Shuying arrived quickly; it's unclear whether she had been waiting for her.
Seeing the 100,000 gold coins that had been traded, Zhao Shuying finally felt relieved. There was indeed a voice inside the company that suspected that Yu Xunge would leave the gold behind on Zelan Star.
Yu Xunge was unaware of these things, or rather, she thought of them but didn't care. After getting another 40,000 jin of gold from Zhao Shuying, she continued to act as a gold coin reseller.
