72: Chapter 72 Squatting Hell: Guild Master Lu Tie!

Lu Tie was only Rank 4, so he couldn't detect Lu Chen's tracks.

"You can call me the Dream Maker. As long as you are willing to work for me, you will receive huge benefits. At the very least, your strength will be able to improve by a large margin!"

"..."

Lu Tie naturally wouldn't agree easily.

After all, he didn't even know who the other person was.

Don't be fooled by his large build; he wasn't stupid.

In fact, how could a tough guy who could run a guild and open up channels for making money from rich women be without a brain?

"You want me to work for you? Unless you come out openly, conquer me with absolute strength, and set some ground rules, don't even think about it!"

Lu Tie's profession was a Heavy Armor Warrior. As the name suggests, it was a shield warrior among the warrior classes, but his Rank wasn't particularly high, only Rank B!

Knowing that this tough guy who worshipped strength wouldn't easily submit unless he was conquered by the strength he excelled in, Lu Chen revealed his form while wearing the Actor Mask.

"Huh? A little brat?"

Lu Tie had thought the other party was some badass Senior expert, but he didn't expect it to be just a scrawny little brat.

"Assassin stealth? Little brat, are you daring to play with me? My sandbag-sized fists will make you cry and go home to call your mommy!"

Although Lu Tie's words were vicious, he didn't make a move. He just wanted to intimidate Lu Chen so he would retreat. He never hit the elderly, women, or children; that was his motto as a tough guy.

But the next second, Lu Chen released the [Celestial War Body] Forbidden Spell, Incarnation into an eighteen-meter giant, strong and sturdy, resembling an ancient Heavenly God of war, which directly dumbfounded him.

"You aren't an Assassin class? You're a Warrior?"

Before Lu Chen could use his overbearing strength to conquer him, he proactively knelt on the ground and hugged Lu Chen's thigh.

"Big Boss, please take care of me!"

Such a mighty and extraordinary Celestial War Body was exactly the war body he had dreamed of. Furthermore, he could also feel an unrivaled power from Lu Chen.

Moreover, this power was very pure, indicating that the other party was not some big villain.

If he could follow such a mighty and invincible Big Boss, why worry that his dream wouldn't come true in the future!

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly. Sure enough, the best way to conquer a tough guy was to be tougher than him!

Immediately, Lu Chen canceled the Celestial War Body and returned to his normal size.

"Big Boss, let me clarify first. It's fine for me to work for you, but you cannot make me do things that break the law or commit crimes. Our Squat Hell guild is a guild of real men; we absolutely do not do things that go against our conscience!"

He had heard of powerful Big Bosses subduing some low-level guilds to get things done, but he didn't expect that one day he would be favored by such a Big Boss.

For these low-level guilds, this wasn't a bad thing. On the contrary, they could obtain many benefits from it, provided they did the Big Boss's tasks well.

"That goes without saying!"

Seeing that this big guy had such a sense of justice, Lu Chen was even more determined to support this guild.

"Big Boss, my name is Lu Tie!"

"Lu Tie? Your name really fits your temperament!"

"Hehehe, I think so too!"

"What does Big Boss want me to do?"

Lu Chen waved his hand: "No rush, sign this Loyalty Contract first. From now on, you are my exclusive envoy!"

Holy shit!

SSS-Rank contract?

Lu Tie was shocked.

SSS-Rank items, no matter what they were, were worth over a hundred thousand gold coins. The Big Boss just bought a contract scroll like that?

Lu Tie didn't hesitate any longer and signed it immediately. This was probably a pay-to-win Big Boss; he had to cherish this opportunity!

Seeing that Lu Tie had signed the contract, Lu Chen sent him a friend request.

"What the Hell? F-Rank Beast Tamer?"

Seeing Lu Chen's basic information, Lu Tie was petrified on the spot.

F-Rank Beast Tamer class?

No way!

Can a Beast Tamer class use stealth?

And use that super fierce war body skill from just a moment ago?

He could be 100% sure that the war body that looked like a Heavenly God just now was definitely not an illusion, but what the Hell was this situation?

His cognition had received a huge impact.

Wait!

Lu Chen?

He remembered that not long ago, in the global announcement, there was an F-Rank Beast Tamer in the three-person team that first cleared the five-star Hell-difficulty instance Corrupted Temple, and his name was also Lu Chen!

Hiss!!!

Could the young Big Boss in front of him be that Lu Chen from Xihai City?

Now, top Big Bosses all over the country were looking for the tracks of Lu Chen, Yu Linglong, and Night Shadow, and there were even many super Big Bosses secretly issuing high-reward quests for their tracks.

"Gulp, Big Boss, you wouldn't happen to be that F-Rank Beast Tamer who first cleared the Corrupted Temple, would you?"

"That's right! That's me!"

Gasp!

It really was him!

Lu Tie took two steps back, full of disbelief.

He didn't expect that one of the trio that the Big Bosses of the whole world were looking for would appear in Yunlan City and even come looking for him.

At this moment, he was a little panicked.

Oh no!

Was it really an illusion just now?

Did Lu Chen use some high-level hallucinogenic potion?

"Don't worry, what you saw and felt just now was not an illusion."

Lu Chen saw through his thoughts.

Lu Tie's face was bitter and melancholy, but whether it was true or false, it didn't matter much anymore.

Because he had already signed the Loyalty Contract scroll, he would have to obediently follow Lu Chen's orders for the rest of his life.

"For tomorrow's ticket competition, I want you to take first place and give the ticket you obtain to me."

"But... Big Boss Lu, my strength is limited. I'm afraid I can't take first place!"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own ways to let you easily take first place!"

Saying this, Lu Chen asked him to take off all the equipment on his body.

Lu Tie was stunned again!

No way!

Big Boss,

Why are you taking all the equipment off me?

"How many gold coins does your guild still have?"

"..."

Lu Tie panicked even more.

The Big Boss wouldn't be trying to rob him, right?

But he could only obediently hand over all his gold coins: "Big Boss, there are only a little over ten thousand gold coins left. If I spend these, I'll have to eat dirt."

"So little?"

Lu Chen was speechless.

You are a leader of a two-star guild after all, and a Rank 4 job changer, yet you are so poor.

Lu Tie was also on the verge of tears. It was all because of the protein gluttons in the guild; they couldn't do anything well, but they were number one at eating protein, and they had eaten him into poverty!

Immediately, Lu Chen traded the hundred thousand gold coins to Sister Linglong, asking her to purchase the Rank 4 main Materials for crafting Heavy Armor Warrior equipment, and kept the remaining tens of thousands of gold coins in his pocket as forging fees.

Items bought in the System mall were all bound Materials, and the equipment crafted would also become bound, so he could only ask Sister Linglong to buy them.

Buying high-quality equipment separately might be very expensive.

But if he only bought Materials of the corresponding quality, it wasn't particularly expensive; 100,000 gold coins were completely enough.

After Yu Linglong received the message, she was full of doubts, but she did as instructed.

"Wait for my good news tonight!"

After saying that, Lu Chen disappeared into stealth again.

"This... Big Boss Lu can really use stealth!"

A glimmer of hope rose in Lu Tie's melancholy face.

Evening.

God-Slaying Pavilion guild.

Yu Linglong returned.

Lu Chen brought the Materials into the forging room, which left Yu Linglong looking at each other in dismay.

Lu Chen, the little brother, could also forge equipment?

But when she saw Lu Chen forging with her own eyes, she was completely stunned, associating it with the thunder and Holy Light phenomena at the Corrupted Temple before.

"Could it be that Lu Chen, the little brother, has mastered other professional skills?"

She saw Lu Chen personally disassemble Lu Tie's equipment, refine it, and re-forge it in one go. The whole process only took about ten minutes.

A brand-new ten-piece set was forged!

Two Epic-grade quality items, eight Orange-grade quality items!

"100% success rate?"

Yu Linglong's heart rate accelerated.

With just this forging skill.

Lu Chen could completely earn a large amount of gold coins quickly by buying Materials and forging equipment to sell.

At this time,

Lu Tie was tossing and turning alone in his room, so he had to lift iron to soothe his inner anxiety.

He regretted being too impulsive during the day and getting on Lu Chen's pirate ship just like that.

Now it was done.

His equipment had been stripped away.

His gold coins were gone too.

His freedom was gone as well.

He was back to square one.

If the guild members asked tomorrow, he wouldn't even know how to explain it; the guild might even disband.

[Ding, Lu Chen has initiated an equipment trade with you: two Rank 4 Epic-grade items, eight Rank 4 Orange-grade quality items. Do you accept?]

Clang!

The barbell in Lu Tie's hand fell. Looking at the popped-up trade notification, his heart stopped, and he was dazed for a long time.

"Am I... dreaming?"
