"Yes."
Ye Qiu accepted the voice message.
Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "The pit on Tiger Mountain is dug."
Ye Qiu was surprised, replied by voice, "So fast?"
Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "Hehe, got some help."
Ye Qiu responded, "I'm heading over now. Also, recruit some players to Wolfhead Ridge. They've dropped some gear; my backpack is full."
Thousand-Faced Gentleman (voice): "A lot?"
Ye Qiu glanced around, "Quite a bit."
Thousand-Faced Gentleman paused, then voice messaged, "If you have any unnecessary or extra items, sell them to me. I'll pay market price."
Early in the game, even ordinary White Common gear was rare!
"Okay."
Ye Qiu nodded.
He was going to sell anyway.
After hanging up, Ye Qiu inspected the scattered items.
He ignored the white gear entirely.
Only collected Gold Coins, materials, red and blue recovery potions, several nice Blue Advanced gears, and one Purple Rare gear.
[Wolf Fang Mystic moon Staff (Purple Rare Weapon): Requires Level 5, +100 Mana, +10 Spirit, +5 Agility. Passive skill: restores 5 mana per second while carried.]
"Nice!"
Ye Qiu praised, but felt a bit regretful.
It wasn't gear for sword users.
"Oh right, Thousand-Faced Gentleman is a mage, and his sister Lovely Qingyue is a priest. Perfect for them!"
Ye Qiu decided.
Although Purple Rare gear was rare, he no longer cared much.
After all, with the godlike Timid War Cloak as a benchmark, any gear significantly weaker was trash!
Moreover, Purple Rare gear still had Level restrictions.
Meaning, it was Low-Level gear, only useful early in the game.
Soon it would be obsolete!
Orange Epic Tier gear, however, had broken free from Level limits.
Even at Level 100, it was still useful!
Soon, two players sent by Thousand-Faced Gentleman arrived.
Seeing the mountain of items scattered everywhere, they were wide-eyed, gasping!
"What... happened here?!"
They exchanged stunned looks.
Only when Ye Qiu approached did he raise his brow and ask, "Why only two of you came?"
Each player's backpack started with 20 slots.
Obviously, Two players couldn't carry all these items away.
"You're the NPC?!"
The two players brightened when they saw Ye Qiu's cloaked figure.
NPCs in this game were extremely rare!
But they didn't interact with Ye Qiu, because they made money by doing tasks for wealthy players, not by playing the game.
Leveling up tasks were low priority for them.
"There are more of our people nearby", one said, opening the friend list and calling for nearby allied players.
Soon, five players had filled their backpacks, barely clearing Wolfhead Ridge.
No wonder this was recognized in the past as the most cost-effective Level Grinding zone!
High drop rate, high experience, and monsters had obvious weaknesses!
But only for Low-Level players.
……
At the top of Tiger Mountain, the sky darkened.
"You, Ning Qingyue, you're playing me, huh!"
Zhao Hanyan furiously shouted at Lovely Qingyue.
Lovely Qingyue's real name was "Ning Qingyue."
Hearing this, she smiled like looking at a fool, and said teasingly, "It's you who's greedy and dumb, why blame me?"
Zhao Hanyan angrily said, "Why not blame you? Didn't you say there was treasure buried down here, so we worked our asses off wasting time and energy digging pits and holes all day?!"
Hearing the blame thrown back, Ning Qingyue just sneered, "Please recall carefully, when did I ever say there was treasure buried on top of Tiger Mountain?"
"You—!"
Zhao Hanyan thought carefully.
She realized the other really never said anything about "buried treasure."
Only said an NPC made them dig here.
"What do you mean that the NPC told you to dig here?"
Zhao Hanyan felt frustrated.
All day long, she and her players had only done one thing—dig pits!
The whole top of Tiger Mountain was dug three feet deep!
Especially in the middle, a pit five meters deep!
But in the end, nothing!
"That seems none of your business."
Ning Qingyue sneered.
Zhao Hanyan was silenced.
It was indeed none of her business, but why did it feel so awkward?!
She couldn't swallow this anger!
Just then, "Zhao Hanyan, You're used to bullying people in real life, but how come you're the same in the game?"
People looked toward the voice.
Two figures walked up from below Tiger Mountain.
One was refined and amiable.
"Brother!"
Ning Qingyue immediately went over.
The refined person was Thousand-Faced Gentleman, real name "Ning Qianjun."
But everyone's attention was more on the figure beside Ning Qianjun.
A middle-aged man, ordinary build, holding a rustic saber in one hand, and dragging several Jade-Eyed Tiger Monster corpses by a vine in the other!
Bloody and imposing!
"NPC!"
Many immediately recognized him.
At this stage, only NPCs could easily kill Level 10 Jade-Eyed Tiger Monsters!
Players needed dozens or hundreds to surround and kill one, often suffering heavy casualties!
"Oh, didn't expect you to get an NPC to help."
Zhao Hanyan sneered acidly upon seeing Ning Qianjun and the NPC beside him.
Ning Qingyue quietly asked, "Brother, did it work?"
Ning Qianjun smiled and nodded, "Thanks to that mysterious collaborator, I got into the village and finally found this swordsman."
It cost quite a bit.
Favorability increased somewhat, but still not enough for a team-up.
So they relied on other means.
In short, Ning Qianjun openly showed his Level.
Above his head, appeared the label "Level 5."
"Brother, your Level rose so fast?!"
Ning Qingyue exclaimed.
Previously, due to the Deep Mountain Tiger Fiend incident, Ning Qianjun's Level had dropped to 3.
Now not only had he recovered, he'd leveled up to 5!
That was incredibly fast!
Ning Qianjun smiled, "I've been leveling up fighting with the swordsman, like these Level 10 Jade-Eyed Tiger Monsters. The huge level gap means good experience."
But at the end, a trace of regret appeared on his face.
Ning Qingyue was about to ask, when suddenly, Zhao Hanyan's voice rang out, "Perfect timing, I have an NPC too. Let's see whose is stronger?"
Beside her, the Burly Youth with a sullen face stepped out.
His hands wore brass knuckles.
"Just itching for a fight, come on."
The Burly Youth NPC taunted, looking at the middle-aged swordsman NPC beside Ning Qianjun.
