Chapter 019 Beast Trap
Chapter 019 Beast Trap
As soon as the Fan Knight spoke, the people opposite him immediately turned their unfriendly gazes towards him, but the Fan Knight remained calm and composed, acting like a wealthy man.
"May I ask who you are...?" Emperor Tianhe bowed to the Fan Knight.
"No problem, I am Zhen Deqiang, the guild leader of the Emperor's Guild!" Fan Knight said arrogantly, then pointed to Ignite Sword Saint, "He is the vice guild leader, Zhen Dejun!"
"Emperor Guild?"
"What tier guild is this? Never heard of it."
"It seems to be a second-rate guild."
"A mere second-rate guild dares to compete with the guild leader for this Blackthorn hatchling? They're truly overestimating themselves!"
"This guy's obviously a shill, deliberately trying to drive up the price..."
The players of the Tianhe Guild immediately started discussing, but Emperor Tianhe waved his hand to stop them. With a gentle smile on his face, he glanced at Fanfeng Knight, then looked at Li Hanqiang and said, "Fifty thousand in cash, can be transferred immediately, how about it?"
The fan-wielding knight quickly added, "I have 80,000 gold coins!"
The Heavenly River Emperor's gaze turned cold, and he said, "One hundred thousand in cash!"
The fan-wielding knight remained unfazed, laughing, "Haha, two hundred thousand in cash!"
"It seems my friend really wants this mount," Emperor Tianhe sneered. "In that case, I'll let it be yours!"
The Fan Knight was taken aback: "What? You're giving it to me? Aren't you going to reconsider?"
The Ignition Sword Saint beside him laughed, but quickly suppressed it, and said to Emperor Tianhe, "You guys know what's good for you! Going against our Emperor Guild never ends well. You're not bad, come visit our Tianfeng City sometime!"
Li Hanqiang wished he could kick those two idiots away and call them over to act as shills and drive up the price, but who would have thought that these two guys' acting skills were so bad that they were seen through at a glance.
Doesn't this deal have to fall through?
Li Hanqiang reacted quickly, saying, "To be honest, this city lord is not short of money and has no intention of accepting cash. I only sell this Blackthorn Baby Turtle for gold coins or in exchange for Chaos City Lord exclusive items, so I'm sorry, all your previous bids are invalid!"
"Oh, so you don't accept cash? That's a problem. I don't have many gold coins, only a hundred!" Fan Knight realized.
Emperor Tianhe shook his head and smiled, saying, "Alright, enough talk, here's one hundred gold coins plus this item."
As he spoke, he took out a blueprint.
This blueprint was obtained from the only treasure chest in the [Hunter's Camp] dungeon. It is an exclusive item of the Chaos City Lord. Emperor Tianhe was just wondering how to get rid of it, and now is a good opportunity.
Li Hanqiang glanced at it—
[Blueprint for the Beast Trap: A special item, exclusive to the Lord of Chaos. Using it will place a permanent beast trap (a special level 1 defensive tower) in the War Corridor. The trap has a chance to capture beast-like monsters and inflict continuous damage. Players are encouraged to explore further for details.]
"There really is an item exclusive to the Chaos City Lord!" Li Hanqiang was overjoyed. Judging from the attribute information, the beast trap was not a high-level item, but it was quite interesting. It was even a level one defense tower. If he could add a hundred gold coins, Li Hanqiang would be happy to exchange it for a Blackthorn Baby Turtle, since he had only fished it out while AFK.
This time, the Fan Knight was wise enough not to say anything more.
Next, Li Hanqiang and Emperor Tianhe successfully completed the transaction, and both parties were very satisfied.
After the transaction was completed, Emperor Tianhe led his team away, but Big Buyer went up to Li Hanqiang to ask for his commission.
After thinking it over, Li Hanqiang felt that this big business opportunity belonged to a talented person, so he was not stingy and gave him 5 gold coins.
Satisfied with the big sale, he hurriedly went to the Chaos Slab to buy more potions and continue his business as a medicine seller.
The two men, who were fanning the flames, also wanted to ask Li Hanqiang for a red envelope. After all, they had acted as shills before, although they hadn't done a good job and almost messed things up. But these two were shameless and still wanted it.
Li Hanqiang, of course, wouldn't give them gold coins. He smiled and suddenly asked, "Do you want to know where I got that black-spined baby turtle?"
"Where did you get it from?"
"Hmm? If you say that, does that mean there's still a chance to get one?"
"Haha!" Li Hanqiang snapped his fingers. "Don't say I'm not loyal. Come on, let me show you around the Azure Wave Pool. It's a holy land for AFK farming. That Blackthorn Baby Turtle was caught by me from the Azure Wave Pool. If you're lucky, you can catch one too..."
Li Hanqiang solemnly introduced the Azure Wave Pool to the two, Fanfengdianhuo and Li Hanqiang, and led them inside. Seeing their delighted expressions as if they had discovered a new world, Li Hanqiang said, "AFK farming? One gold coin per AFK session, no time limit. Maybe you'll catch a Blackthorn Baby Turtle while AFK farming, or even a more powerful mount! Even if you don't catch a mount, the trash fish you catch will sell for a good price. I would never let ordinary people AFK here."
The Fan Knight and the Ignition Sword Saint, being simple-minded, immediately took the bait. In addition, they were extremely tired, so they started fishing without hesitation. A moment later, the two logged off and left to AFK in the Azure Lake.
Li Hanqiang felt pleased. He first went to the war corridor and set up the animal traps along the Flame Tower.
This animal trap is as big as a square table, with densely packed teeth; it looks quite terrifying.
Li Hanqiang imagined the scene of the siege monsters being caught in the bear trap and constantly losing health, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
A few moments later, around 1 a.m., Li Hanqiang suddenly heard a system notification: "A Defense Tower Shop, a Chaos Treasury, and an Endless Tower have appeared in your Chaos City. Congratulations, player!"
At that moment, the ground of the entire Chaos City trembled. Stone slabs were laid out on the left and right sides of the Heart of Chaos, extending outwards for about fifty meters. Then, two buildings appeared out of thin air, one on the left and one on the right.
The building on the left has an architectural style reminiscent of an ancient Greek temple, with many stone pillars around it; that's the defensive tower shop.
The one on the right is quite strange; it looks like a huge treasure chest, undoubtedly the Chaos Treasury.
Furthermore, behind the Heart of Chaos, the ground widened by fifty meters, and a tall tower, resembling the Seven Treasures Pagoda in the hands of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was erected—that was the Tower of Endless.
"System notification: You are now ready to begin a new round of monster siege."
"System notification: From now on, you will face more challenges. The intensity of the monster siege will gradually increase. The average level of the fourth wave of monsters is 10. With each subsequent wave, the average level of the monsters will increase by two levels, and their numbers will also increase. Please make your choices carefully and do not rashly initiate the monster siege..."
Looking at the Chaos City, which had become much larger, Li Hanqiang was in a good mood.
The Chaos City used to be pitifully small. Beyond the War Corridor was the Heart of Chaos, and a few steps further out was the end. But now, the Heart of Chaos seems to float in the center of a square, and the newly paved stone slabs are big enough for a thousand people to dance together. It has instantly become more upscale.
"Not bad, not bad!" Li Hanqiang nodded, glanced at the defense tower shop, and immediately ran over to check it out.
