Shen Yi wasn't in a hurry to enter the dungeon; he wanted to digest what he had obtained from the beginner dungeon.
Shen Yi glanced at the team's mechanics; in short, it had many advantages, but was also quite troublesome.
First, there's the personnel limit: a minimum of three people and a maximum of ten. However, few teams choose to gather ten people, firstly because it's bloated, and secondly because it's inefficient.
After joining a squad, teammates have a special damage mechanism to prevent teammates from stabbing each other in the back.
Shen Yi also noted that if team members do not meet the requirements, the team will be disbanded.
If they randomly recruit someone to join the team, and that person then leaves, the team has no choice but to disband on the spot.
Applying for a team costs 10,000 yuan or 100 points.
Shen Yi wasn't wealthy enough to ignore the money.
"etc."
Unexpectedly, just as Shen Yi refused, the man spoke again.
"My price is already very fair; you won't find this price anywhere else."
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "You're saying this method is common here?"
"Pretty much." The man chuckled. "Listen to me, without a squad, you won't be able to move an inch here."
Shen Yi shook his head. "That has nothing to do with me."
He really wanted to form a team, but he didn't want to form one right away.
Shen Yi was not in a hurry.
"Don't go."
The team immediately surrounded Shen Yi and his companion.
The man looked at Shen Yi, his smile vanished.
Surrounded by several people, Shen Yi frowned.
Wu Yong asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"
The man's smile turned cold. "You'd better accept my price now; I'm doing this out of kindness."
The commotion was quite significant, immediately attracting the attention of dozens of professionals in the hall.
They all looked in this direction.
Someone immediately recognized the man's identity.
"Hey, isn't that Zhao Yuan?"
"Zhao Yuan went to extort money again!"
"Hehe, every time Zhao Yuan sees a novice professional, he goes over like he's smelling a scent, tsk tsk."
"This business is much more profitable than robbery; you can make 50,000 just by fooling people."
"These two newbies are really in trouble for bumping into Zhao Yuan. They either have to obediently pay up and get ripped off, or they have to pay up and leave."
"Tch... No fun. Instead of ripping off newbies, we might as well go down to the next dungeon and get some rewards."
"Where can you make this much money in dungeons? I heard Zhao Yuan and his team hire people to stake out newbie players. If they bump into one, they rush over immediately, making tens of thousands in one go. I'd do it too!"
...
Shen Yi looked at Zhao Yuan, "What if I said I have no money?"
No money? No problem!
Zhao Yuan's lips curled up slightly. "The Professional Guild allows you to earn points on credit. Since you are the lowest-level professionals, the credit limit is five hundred points."
Five hundred points?
Shen Yi finally understood why Zhao Yuan had asked for 500.
It's obviously targeting newbies!
"Brother Yi, we can't agree to that."
Wu Yong quickly said, "I took a look. The guild's credit has interest. If we exchange 500 points, we'll have to pay back even more!"
"That little bit of interest is nothing; you'll get it in your next dungeon run."
Zhao Yuan said dismissively, "Hurry up."
"I advise you to hand over your points immediately, otherwise..."
"What else?"
Shen Yi laughed, "You can't exactly attack me in the Professionals' Guild Hall, can you?"
"You do have some brains." Zhao Yuan wasn't surprised, but the sarcasm on his face deepened.
“I really can’t lay a hand on you here.”
"But it may not be the same in other places."
"I can stay with you; there's always something I can do."
"For example, the wilderness."
At this point, the threat couldn't be clearer.
Shen Yi thought for a moment, then turned to look at the receptionist.
"Will the professional workers' association regulate this kind of behavior?"
"The Professionals Guild explicitly forbids professionals from fighting and killing within the city."
The receptionist clearly disliked Zhao Yuan's team's behavior, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"However, there will always be places where the professional guilds do not prohibit it, and in the wilderness, they even encourage professionals to fight each other."
Shen Yi nodded after hearing this.
That makes sense.
If too many rules and restrictions are imposed on professionals, they will become like tigers with their teeth pulled, losing all their spirit.
That's definitely not the scene anyone wants to see.
However, this creates too many loopholes for professionals like Zhao Yuan to exploit.
"In that case, do as you please."
Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment. "What did you say?"
Shen Yi curled his lip. "You can't lay a hand on me in the city, so whatever you want to do is none of my business. Do whatever you want."
"I won't spend those points."
After saying that, Shen Yi turned and left!
Shen Yi's choice surprised Zhao Yuan.
He'd seen hotheads before, but never one as hotheaded as this.
Despite the obvious difference in their social standing, they still dared to ignore them...
"That kid!"
Zhao Yuan's face was ashen.
"Captain, what do we do?"
"What do we do? Of course, we follow them!" Zhao Yuan sneered. "If we can't even squeeze money out of the newbies, our team will lose all face!"
...
Wu Yong turned his head and, sure enough, saw Zhao Yuan and his group following the two of them furtively.
"Brother Yi, they're catching up!"
"If they want to follow, then let them follow." Shen Yi said calmly. "It can't affect us."
"Are we really going to let them follow us indefinitely? Then we won't even be able to go to the wilderness, how are we supposed to participate in dungeons?"
"We're not going to run a dungeon right now."
Wu Yong thought for a moment, "I can find a few high-level professionals to issue a warning..."
"I almost forgot, you are the young master of the Wu family."
Shen Yi glanced at Wu Yong and said, "If that's the case, why didn't you reveal your identity earlier?"
After hearing this, Wu Yong smiled wryly and said, "Brother Yi, you're thinking too simply."
Strictly speaking, Wu Yong does indeed come from a prominent family.
Being from a prestigious family has many advantages: better resources and access to more intelligence.
But it's not a panacea.
If the younger generation only knows how to suck blood, how can the aristocratic family continue its legacy?
Even compared to ordinary families, aristocratic families place even greater emphasis on training their offspring.
“My dad told me that if I’m not dead, I shouldn’t look for my family, and it’s best not to mention my family’s name, or my dad will beat me to death.”
"Moreover, things are different now than before. The Wu family no longer holds absolute power in Jiangdong."
Shen Yi smiled and said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have teamed up with you."
"So you're after my status?" Wu Yong's lips twitched slightly. "Brother Yi, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"
"Then you can leave now..."
Shen Yi said lazily, "I'd like to know, if we split up, who will they go with?"
Wu Yong's expression froze instantly.
"Brother Yi, you're not going to abandon me, are you?"
