186: Business opportunities under human lives
Xu Shian and Gamor not seriously running the Dungeon didn't actually affect the progress of the Dungeon run.
After all, his stats were explosive; just the two Boar-men Hunterss were enough to sweep through the Dungeon with the team.
But not taking a straight path while traveling and constantly following the Mining Spots was wasting too much Time!
Fortunately, Xu Shian also had a sense of proportion and didn't stray too far from the route.
Furthermore, the Anywhere Door still had a five-hour cooldown.
The others just let them be... After spending five consecutive days, Xu Shian's team finally cleared all the Dungeon first kills here, right when the first batch of high-end players from the Noodle Country cleared the Bronze Trial!
And Xu Shian's level at this Time officially reached Level 16... "After this, running Level 15 Dungeon first kills won't be worth it..."
It really wasn't worth it.
If it weren't for the free stat points reward from the first kill, Level 15 Dungeons, even those on hell difficulty, offered no improvement for Xu Shian.
After all, Xu Shian had already cleared so many Level 20 hell difficulty Dungeons, so it was normal for him to look down on Level 15 drops!
And once Xu Shian entered a Dungeon, even An Xixi and the others wouldn't be able to get the free stat points there.
As for the Khmer Country Dungeons, Xu Shian planned to take his entire small team with him and let An Xixi's team take the Level 15 ones themselves... They couldn't just leave one Khmer person behind, right?
A Dungeon only gives forty free stat points in total; presumably, they won't care for that either!
So he wouldn't leave any for those Noodle Country players... After dealing with several neighboring countries, the Time was already approaching the end of July.
Xu Shian had an incredibly fulfilling month!
He was busy flying around every day.
Saying his feet never touched the ground was absolutely accurate.
Of course, the results were also gratifying.
Stealing a bit from the Khmer Country, stealing a bit from the Rakshasa Country, Xu Shian's level had already reached Level 19!
Meanwhile, King Arthur, ranked second, was Level 14 at this Time.
Although his level had risen significantly, but this guy's recent situation might not be great... After all, he didn't have Xu Shian's advantages.
By relying on the demon passport to seize resources from other countries, Xu Shian was regarded as a beloved hero in his own country... Xu Shian actually didn't care much about this part.
Because his original plan was also to sweep up most of the Dungeon first kills in the East Dragon Empire.
It was only because he suddenly obtained the Three-Piece Monster-Pulling Set midway that he adjusted his goal and started harassing the neighbors... But King Arthur didn't have that advantage!
Although he led over two thousand players through the Bronze Trial and arrived at the main city.
But in an old capitalist country like john bull, many of the experts he recruited already had their own factions.
It could be said that one-third of them left as soon as they reached the main city.
Later, after King Arthur founded the guild Ragnarok, he always soloed and completely ignored guild affairs... The situation of Ragnarok was different from Time!
As for the Time Guild, even if no one managed it, the members were basically reluctant to leave!
After all, it wasn't a formal guild created by the game system... Once you left this village, you wouldn't find this shop again.
And King Arthur's recent operation of sweeping the entire country caused dissatisfaction among many guild members... The The Empire Where the Sun Never Sets boasted endlessly, but it only had three states in total... There weren't many resources overall, yet you're hogging them all? At least team up and give your brothers a share!
People are like this: give a little, and they are grateful; give a lot, and they become resentful.
This is human nature, regardless of nationality... Saying foreigners have such great contractual spirit is just drinking too much Yilin chicken soup!
Honest and trustworthy people exist everywhere, regardless of nationality!
And Yilin's approach is just to highlight the good parts abroad and the bad parts domestically.
In Xu Shian's view, all crows under heaven are equally black... And the retaliation from those john bulls was quite interesting: they simply left the guild!
These days, large numbers of players have quit Ragnarok, and King Arthur's strength has visibly declined.
Although he had already cleared more than ten Level 15 Dungeons on hell difficulty and elite difficulty.
And obtained several hundred free stat points.
But losing the bonus from his talent caused his solo clearing path to stall!
King Arthur is a Mage; as long as he doesn't have the ability to instantly kill the Boss, it's impossible for him to solo Dungeons on elite difficulty.
King Arthur was furious! He truly envied Bankai—high status, talent that didn't rely on others, no worries... But Bankai had worries too!
His Novice Set was pretty much at its limit!
Because he no longer had new sets to participate in the fusion process.
His talent requirement meant that he was indifferent to the powerful equipment dropped by Dungeons, because if he couldn't stack the quantity, he couldn't maximize his talent... And if he wanted to synthesize skills, the number of skill books was even smaller... Furthermore, hearing other people's world announcements filled his heart with hatred!
After a month, the player who had been taking first kills anonymously finally surfaced... It was completely unexpected.
Taya Running Deer, a yellow person, or more accurately, an Indian... Actually, if she were just a yellow person, it wouldn't be so shocking; there are countless Banana People from various East Asian countries living in the US who are Americans in every sense of the word.
But she turned out to be an Indian... The US Forum is now filled with wails of despair; for the locals, they felt this was even worse than if she had been a 'little black person'!
And as the end of July approached.
Novice Village released another version update regulation.
All Novice Villages will be shut down on August 15th!
At that Time, all players who have not yet left Novice Village will be randomly teleported to the major main cities.
This made many people feel like the sky was falling!
Currently, due to the border blockade, almost no one except Xu Shian had the means to cross national borders.
Since the cost of living in Novice Village was extremely low, they all wanted to hide out there until the national borders opened up so they could return to their home countries... Among these, players located in the African regions were having the worst Time.
A group of self-assured players went to the main city, only to find they were not protected by the local tribes at all... Seeing their situation on the Forum, one could only say they were living miserably!
Many of the posts they wrote themselves were blocked by the nearly uncensored game Forum. Thinking about it, they might be better off dead and clean... But now they couldn't stay in Novice Village anymore... In an instant, the entire world boiled over!
Inside Qinghan Garden, Xu Shian was fishing in his own large lake.
He was a little annoyed now!
Originally, various factions had made inquiries and were actively preparing various summoning items to facilitate bringing home the prodigal sons who were enjoying life abroad... Unexpectedly, this sudden news caught them completely off guard... People came from all directions to plead, use moral coercion, and ask Xu Shian to help bring their sons enjoying life abroad back home... There was even a 60-year-old hag who pointed at Xu Shian's nose and sprayed him.
"I'm over 60 and only have this one son. If he dies, it will be all your fault for refusing to save him..."
Sometimes Xu Shian really wanted to call the police.
Setting aside the fact that they are in the US, how could he save them? Even if he had a way, why should he help them?
Oh... They enjoyed extravagant pleasures without me, but now that they're about to die, it's all my fault?
Xu Shian didn't indulge him, and that old man disappeared that very day... This incident also made Xu Shian see a business opportunity... A massive business opportunity... A business opportunity hidden beneath human lives.
"Sink, do you still have that batch of unstable partner summoners you made earlier?"
"Yes! This thing can't be sold, so other than collecting dust in the warehouse, it has no other use!"
"Hard to say..."
Xu Shian thought for a moment. During the Novice Village stage, every Novice Village was an independent small world.
This was why only that extremely special unstable partner summoner could summon teammates across worlds.
But now that they had entered these different countries, the situation was no longer the same.
These countries were all located on the same plane, the same world!
Traffic is currently blocked only because of barrier issues... "Can we remove all of these Craftsmanship Special Effects from them?"
"How can we remove them? If we remove them, they won't be worth anything!"
The Green-Skinned Goblin immediately panicked. For him, money was life, and life was dog shit...
