“Now that I think about it, have I slept with goddess Xin Yun?”
It was a pity that he couldn’t remember what a goddess felt like…
He set this matter on hold for a while.
Richard’s mind was still on the dried branch, and he stopped to wander.
!!
Rebecca had been excited and wanted to return and study it after she obtained the victory gem.
The group left the Black Market.
He had only taken a few steps.
The few players who sold damaged treasures quickly surrounded him.
“Lord Kent!”
These guys did not know Rebecca. They all looked at Butler Kent, whose hair was still in perfect condition.
“Lady…”
Butler Kent looked at Rebecca. He waited for further orders.
Rebecca then looked at Richard.
The relationship went around in circles, and the players were dumbfounded.
‘So, these high-level NPCs needed a player to decide?’
‘Who is this? Was it that fierce?’
He couldn’t see Richard’s information. But the system had a clear distinction between players and natives. He could tell by looking at the color of the system panel.
“We’ll talk about it when we return to the manor.”
There were too many people, and he was already in front. So, he wasn’t in a hurry.
A few players did not object and got into the carriage with the Frostwolf family’s badge afterward.
This kind of great noble was a group of people with the most credibility, so they were not afraid of accidents.
In the carriage.
The four players discussed in low voices after they sat down.
“What do you guys think of that player’s identity? How could he make those two high-ranking nobles so obedient…?”
“This is a high-level player. He might even be the top boss who made it into the top 1,000 in the last instance dungeon.”
“That’s bullsh*t. What kind of existence is in the top 1,000? It’s not that easy to meet such a Big Shot. In my opinion, the other party might be doing a mission… When the time comes, we’ll give him some benefits and let him know the bottom line of the two NPCs ‘bidding.’”
“This is possible…”
“This pile of junk is finally showing signs of growth. Our hard work was not in vain… It’s a pity that the ruins have already collapsed. Otherwise, we could have gotten a lot of good things.”
Discussion continued.
Rebecca didn’t mind the players or their junk after they reached Violet Manor. She left the main hall to Richard. She impatiently brought the level 19 hero, Klei, to the secret room to equip and study the still-warm victory gem.
When the four players saw the two main NPCs leave, they stared at each other with wide eyes. In the end, Richard sat at the head of the long table. The four players looked at him in surprise.
They were sure from the moment they entered the manor.
Richard was a top-tier noble.
Not only were the guards all level 15 troops, but there were also level 19 heroes…
This kind of manor was something other than what ordinary nobles could own.
But now, what was going on with the two main characters?
“Did he sit on the main seat? And the maids around him had such an expression as if they were in a dungeon?”
Were players doing so well these days?
The older player stepped forward with a smile.
“Friend, my forum ID is Mo Liqing. I’m mainly here to sell some top-grade treasures. Are you in charge of this? We are fated…”
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the players who came up to him.
“Don’t tell me the few of you were named like this by Mo Lishou, Mo Lihai, and Mo Lihong?”
Mo Lishou nodded his head in embarrassment.
“I didn’t think that much at that time…”
Richard couldn’t help but chuckle. These idiots were as steady as ever.
However, the other party’s ID seemed quite okay compared to [Where’s Your F*cking Italian Cannon] and [Steamed Bun Lover].
“It’s not bad, easy to remember.”
“You’re right. I’m in charge of Violet Manor’s purchases now. Can you show me your top-tier treasures? ” the man asked.
When he mentioned the top-tier treasure, he deliberately emphasized his tone.
Mo Lishou was immediately embarrassed. This thing could only deceive NPCs. In the eyes of the players, it would expose everything once they opened the attribute panel.
He coughed and lowered his voice.
“Brother, we’re not outsiders. It wasn’t easy for me to get this batch of treasures. Please, be magnanimous, and let’s be friends today…
As he spoke, he extended his hand and gestured three fingers.
“As long as the price is right, we can give you a 10% commission.”
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was indeed good at this. He’d done this a lot.
He smiled and shook his head.
“Don’t worry about it. Just give me as much as you need. I won’t mistreat you.
“But there’s one thing. You need to tell me the origin of all the treasures, where you found them, what special bosses are around them, and the detailed location.”
A few immediately smiled. The ruins had already collapsed, so this was not a problem.
“No problem. All the information will be free if the price is right.”
Richard cut to the chase.
“Take them all out.”
The older Mo Lishou opened the cloth bag and placed the severely damaged treasures on the table.
They looked like a waste collection station when piled together.
Richard’s eyes scanned the area and immediately spotted the withered branch buried at the bottom of the treasure vault.
At this moment, he could sense the evil and dark aura even more clearly from a distance.
His perception was correct, as expected.
He picked them up one by one with a calm expression. He even grouped them according to the degree of damage after he looked at their attribute.
It looked like Richard wanted to buy it, which them excited.
Finally, Richard found a dried branch in the pile of junk.
He asked casually.
“This branch is contaminated with the aura of the undead. Where did you get it?”
Mo Lishou didn’t feel anything wrong with it, so he said with a smile.
“No, I plucked this branch from a dried tree.”
Displeasure engulfed his eyes as he said,
“That tree grew on a pile of flesh and blood. It has been dead for at least three months when we found it.”
“I could have made a fortune if I had discovered it earlier.”
Richard’s eyes lit up.
This growth habit was indeed so.
He said slowly.
“The undead could have planted this tree. What’s the tree called?”
Mo Lishou answered with certainty.
“The rotten tree.”
He added. “The system said this is an evil tree that grows in blood and corpses. It can also bear blood fruit… Unfortunately, I found nothing that time.”
“Rotten tree?
“Do you still remember the location?”
