73: Chapter 73 My brother Jian is risking his life on the front lines, do you think this is child's play?

Wei Donglai walked up to the three of them, just in time to hear Yan Han speaking.

"Brother Fei, so I'm rolling with you and Big Brother from now on?"

Wang Fei shook his head.

"Xiao Han, if it were just the two of us teaming up, it wouldn't be a problem. One Damage Dealer coordinating with another Damage Dealer, it wouldn't really be a matter of who's carrying whom."

"But the strength gap between us and Brother Jian is too large. To put it bluntly, we'd just be lying down to win and leeching experience."

"Brother Jian and I are life-and-death friends, that's why he's willing to carry me."

"And besides."

"Brother Jian can easily clear the Dungeon alone and secure a spot in the top ten."

"By bringing me along, he has to take on a certain amount of risk. I also paid a huge price before Brother Jian was willing to take me."

After saying that, he discreetly gave Zhang Jian a look.

Zhang Jian immediately understood and nodded.

"That's right. It's only because it's Xiao Fei. I wouldn't take anyone else, no matter how much money they offered."

Yan Han got anxious.

"Don't be like that, Brother Jian."

"Whatever Brother Fei can afford, I can too!"

"Is 5 million huaxia coins okay?"

Wei Donglai, who had just walked over, felt his heart skip a beat.

5 million just to join a team? Is this guy crazy?

Zhang Jian looked displeased and waved his hand.

"I'm not short on that kind of money. You should look for someone else more capable."

Wei Donglai was dumbfounded.

Even that's considered too little?

Wang Fei also sighed.

"Xiao Han, you might have misunderstood."

"Let me tell you the truth."

"The monsters in the Dungeon we're going to grind are very high Rank. Just the experience from leeching might be several times more than what you'd get in other Dungeons."

"Not to mention..."

He tried his best to mimic the arrogant expression of the Reception Envoy from before, lifting his head and feigning depth.

"If you wanted to buy a spot as a formal member of Galaxy Academy, no amount of money might be enough."

He sighed and patted Yan Han on the shoulder.

"It's not that Big Brother doesn't want to help you. If you don't understand, it's really hard to explain to you."

Before Yan Han could speak, Wei Donglai's heart stirred.

From the sound of it, does this Zhang Jian have the confidence to carry two people into the top ten of the total points and help them become formal members?

If he really has that ability, then a few million is indeed a bit of an insult.

Although he didn't internally agree with what Wang Fei said about the gap being too large and them just lying down to win.

He had heard a bit about this Yan Han; he was a top-tier class in the mage category, just like himself.

Even if his strength was slightly inferior to his own, he wouldn't be much worse.

If it was really as Wang Fei said, wouldn't it mean that even if he wanted to join, he wouldn't be of much use?

But he didn't say these words out loud.

Instead, he squeezed out a smile, extended his hand, and said:

"Great Zhang Jian, I've long looked forward to meeting you!"

"I am Wei Donglai, also an examinee from Long Province. I greatly admire your results. I wonder if I might have the honor of teaming up with you?"

Zhang Jian looked at the fawning Wei Donglai with surprise.

Why did this guy squeeze over here?

His rhetoric with Wang Fei regarding Yan Han wasn't entirely about wanting benefits from him.

Rather, Wang Fei had mentioned earlier that he wanted to test Yan Han to see if he was worth befriending deeply.

And his method of judging was whether the other party absolutely trusted what he said.

If Yan Han truly treated him as a big brother and believed him...

He would naturally understand his place, making it easier for the three of them to get along in the future.

If the other party still thought he was also a minor expert and wanted to show off some arrogance in front of Zhang Jian...

Then forget Zhang Jian, Wang Fei wouldn't bother with him at all!

But the two of them didn't expect...

Before Yan Han could even speak, this Wei Donglai suddenly ran over.

At this, Zhang Jian refused directly.

"Sorry, we don't team up with outsiders."

Wei Donglai acted flustered, "Don't say that, Great One."

"I can pay to compensate for the losses of leading a team."

Zhang Jian shook his head, "You heard just now, we're not short on money."

Wei Donglai gritted his teeth, "Then how about this?"

He directly handed over a potion, gesturing for Zhang Jian to take a look.

After Zhang Jian took it, he saw the attributes.

[dew secret liquid] (excellence)

Instantly restores 500 points of Mana. Cooldown: 120 seconds.

(Cannot be used by those above the Second Job Change)

Zhang Jian's eyes lit up.

This potion is pretty good.

Compared to the ordinary trace and small recovery potions on the market...

Which could only restore 100 to 200 points of Mana...

And had cooldowns starting from three to five minutes...

The effect of this [dew secret liquid] was clearly much stronger.

If this thing were given to Wang Fei, their combat efficiency could be improved a bit more.

However...

This small benefit wasn't enough for him to accept a stranger.

He smiled apologetically, "Sorry, you should take it back."

This time, Wei Donglai was truly shocked.

He actually turned a blind eye to this?

If this Zhang Jian wasn't just posturing, he must be even stronger than imagined.

He no longer hesitated and took out another bottle.

"Sorry, I took the wrong one just now."

Zhang Jian took it, puzzled.

What is this guy up to?

But after seeing the potion that looked similar to the previous one, his pupils suddenly contracted.

[dew essence] (legendary rank)

Instantly restores 1000 points of Mana. Cooldown: 60 seconds.

(Cannot be used by those above the third job change)

This time, he was truly tempted.

Not only was the recovery amount of this potion ridiculously high, but the cooldown was also halved.

Whether it was for Wang Fei or himself, they could almost achieve perpetual Mana.

And...

Most importantly...

Compared to the excellence Rank bottle which couldn't be used above the Second Job Change...

This legendary rank one could be used up to the third job change.

It was a strategic-level resource; even if saved, it could be used for a long time.

He re-evaluated Wei Donglai.

This kid has some good stuff.

Seeing Zhang Jian start to take him seriously, Wei Donglai chuckled.

"Great One, how about it?"

Zhang Jian pondered for a moment.

"How many bottles of this potion can you provide?"

This question stumped Wei Donglai.

This series of Mana recovery potions was the flagship product of his family's pharmaceutical industry.

The legendary quality ones were usually not for sale to the public and only circulated internally.

It was said that the production Materials were hard to obtain, making mass production impossible.

For him to participate in the assessment, his father had gritted his teeth and only given him 10 bottles.

He thought for a while and held up one finger.

Zhang Jian's eyes lit up, "100 bottles? No problem!"

Wei Donglai's face immediately darkened.

"Great One, that joke isn't funny."

Zhang Jian instantly lost interest, "Only 10 bottles? Then forget it."

Wang Fei also shook his head.

"Brother, 10 bottles aren't even enough for us to clear the Dungeon once."

Wei Donglai was a bit indignant.

"I can solo clear a Dungeon of the same Rank in 20 minutes."

"Even if a high-Rank Dungeon is difficult, 40 minutes should be the limit, right?"

"This potion is only meant for critical moments. Are you planning to use it the whole time? Wouldn't that be a waste of such a precious item?"

Wang Fei glared at him.

"In the Dungeon we're clearing, there are 30 waves of monsters in total, with a ton of BOSSes and Elites. Do you think it's one of those low-Rank Dungeons that's like playing house?"

Wei Donglai's temper flared up completely.

"Fine, 100 bottles it is. I want to see just how exaggerated this Dungeon you're clearing is."

His expression suddenly became serious.

"I can provide 5 bottles first, and we'll clear it once as a team."

"But let me give you a fair warning: if the final result doesn't reach what you've claimed, our cooperation ends."

"Of course, regardless of whether we can cooperate, these 5 bottles will count as my fee."

While he was talking grandly, Yan Han, standing to the side, got anxious.
