259: Refuse to cooperate

"Yog... Van Dyke, I feel like this name sounds familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere before."

"Indeed, I feel that way too. Oh right! I remember now, combined with the Gentlemens Country and SS-grade skills, he should be the first SS-level Hunter globally exposed. If I recall correctly, his skill seems to be related to Vampires."

"Indeed, he has converted an extremely large number of followers into Vampires, which has seriously affected the stability of the entire Gentlemens Country. The Hunter Union has even given him a higher danger rating than those Zombie monsters."

"Dealing with a human who possesses powerful skills is much harder than dealing with those mindless monsters who only have strength and know nothing but slaughter."

"I didn't expect so many important figures to be drawn into this secret realm instance this time. Besides the SSS-level Hunter from Great Xia, another SS-grade Vampire Progenitor has appeared."

"Those behind him should be the humans he bit and turned into Vampires, right? They don't seem much different from normal people, but they give off a gloomy and unapproachable feeling?"

"Vampires can only act at night, so the Netherworld Ghost Realm, which has no sun, seems quite suitable for them. Vampires can arguably be considered ghosts, right?"

"Is Van Dyke trying to find trouble with the Undead Monarch?"

"Unless his brain is broken, he wouldn't do that. It must be cooperation, mutual benefit."

In fact, he guessed correctly.

Van Dyke had been observing, waiting for Chen Ming, the Undead Monarch, to appear so he would have a chance to discuss cooperation and do business with him.

'Oh, is he the Hunter from Gentlemens Country with the SS-grade Vampire skill?'

Chen Ming noticed Van Dyke walking towards him.

He had no interest in the cooperation that everyone was talking about.

Chen Ming was very certain that Van Dyke was not a good cooperation partner.

Reason?

The reason was simple, his presence here was the best proof.

Chen Ming didn't think a bug would only appear on him. This guy had definitely done many things that benefited himself at the expense of others.

Except for the official Hunters from Great Xia selected by Chen Ming, which of the other foreigners who came to this world wasn't completely evil?

It was just that the current sense of crisis was too strong, covering up their ferocity.

Simply because this world did not lack entities more ferocious than them.

If they didn't restrain themselves, they wouldn't even know how they died in the end.

"Hello, Undead Monarch, my name is Yog Van Dyke, the first SS-level Hunter from Gentlemens Country." After walking up to Chen Ming, Van Dyke politely extended his hand.

Chen Ming didn't even bother to look at the hand he extended.

"Good heavens, he's so disrespectful? He's an SS-grade professional Hunter, after all."

"He's SSS-level! An SS-grade is nothing in front of him!"

"Exactly. Read more news. I heard the Undead Monarch is currently the ceiling humans can reach. However, the Eagle Faction has heavily blocked the news, so it's not guaranteed."

"Blocked? Why block it?"

"Why else? Of course, it's because they are afraid their own people will admire strength and run to join him, then turn around and join the Great Xia Star Alliance. Who doesn't know it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree?"

"That's true."

"..." Listening to the discussions around him, Van Dyke gave an awkward smile, 'As expected of an SS-grade, he's indeed arrogant.'

Such words could only be said in his heart. If he really said them out loud, they would definitely fall out.

"Mr. Chen, right? Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to find trouble with you. I just want to talk to you about cooperation." Van Dyke specifically clarified his position, fearing Chen Ming would see him as an enemy.

"There's nothing for me to cooperate with you on." Chen Ming waved his hand, completely uninterested in what Van Dyke wanted to say next.

Could he really expect ivory to come out of a dog's mouth?

"Mr. Chen, how would you know if you don't try?"

"With the strength of the two of us, we can definitely easily dominate the entire Ghost Realm!" Van Dyke stated his ambition.

"What! He actually wants to dominate the entire Netherworld Ghost Realm instance?"

"This instance is different from other instances. It seems it can exist permanently, so it indeed has the value of being conquered."

"The Undead Monarch and the Vampire Progenitor joining forces, they might actually be able to do it! A strong alliance."

"It's just, I wonder if there's a place for people like us to participate."

"Want to participate? No problem, let him bite you first and turn you into a Vampire. Otherwise, why would he trust you?"

"Are there any brothers who have been bitten? Does it hurt?"

...

It was very noisy.

"I said, I'm not interested in your idea." Chen Ming stated again, leaving no room for expectation for Van Dyke.

"..." Although Van Dyke appeared calm on the surface, his fists clenched unconsciously.

He felt that Chen Ming was very disrespectful and didn't put him in his eyes.

He had clearly come with good intentions, wanting to do something big with him.

Since fishing up the SS-grade skill [Vampire], he had never been so humble towards anyone else. Chen Ming was the first.

"How about, you consider it again?" Van Dyke forced out a clearly strained smile.

"No need." Chen Ming no longer kept his gaze on Van Dyke, looking around instead.

Then he waved at a fierce ghost who was clearly a staff member of the Huangquan Auction.

Facing the most distinguished guest of the Huangquan Auction, even a fierce ghost of that level had to walk up with a smile, asking respectfully, "Mr., is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm in a hurry. One price, ten billion huangquan coins, sell me all one hundred tickets, how about it?" Chen Ming stated his request.

"Ah? He wants to buy out all the tickets to leave the Netherworld Ghost Realm for today?"

"Good heavens, he's not giving us any chance to participate at all!"

"No matter what, it's impossible to give this kind of special privilege, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the fierce ghost was about to speak.

Chen Ming directly took out a stack of ten thousand huangquan coins each, totaling ten million huangquan coins, and handed it to the fierce ghost, "After it's done, this money will be my extra hard work fee for you."

"No problem!" The fierce ghost took the money and readily agreed.

His smiling face was a completely different style from his appearance and massive body.

Eerie! An indescribable sense of incongruity!

[Successfully spent ten million huangquan coins! Hundredfold return has been triggered. Congratulations to the host for obtaining huangquan coins +1000000000!]

[Successfully spent ten billion huangquan coins! Hundredfold return has been triggered. Congratulations to the host for obtaining huangquan coins +1000000000000!]

Afterward, Chen Ming instructed the Captain leading the thousand Star Alliance Hunters before him to handle the one hundred tickets himself.

As for himself?

He could open portals whenever he wanted, he didn't need such things at all.

[Successfully gifted Huangquan Tickets! Hundredfold return has been triggered. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Huangquan Tickets +10000!]

'No way? This can give returns too?'

Chen Ming showed a hint of surprise.

On the other side, looking at the portal that opened before them, leading away from the Huangquan Auction.

The group of Hunters only then realized that their trip to the Huangquan Auction had ended before it even began.
