Absolute Death Game

Seeing that both of them had no problem, Qin Dahai couldn’t help but feel a surge of ecstasy in his heart, thinking to himself that it was a done deal, this extra profit was secured.

There were indeed advantages to not being part of an organization. At this time, it naturally became his innate talent for profiting.

For a moment, Qin Dahai was so excited he almost cried out loud.

The two of them left the group and added Qin Dahai, then had him check the corpse. Of course, they weren’t afraid of Qin Dahai pocketing any equipment; if he tried anything funny, dozens of swords from either side would cut him down instantly, not even leaving scraps behind. Qin Dahai wouldn’t dare do such a thing unless he was out of his mind.

Feeling the gaze of those around him, Qin Dahai couldn’t help but swallow nervously, his palm sweaty as he clenched the mouse, "It must drop garbage, it absolutely has to drop garbage!" he chanted in his heart. As long as it was garbage, it would be his. But the loot dropped by a boss with a golden name couldn’t be that bad, no matter how trashy.

If Xiao Buli and Zhang Haojie knew what he was thinking, they’d probably be speechlessly annoyed.

However, Qin Dahai was also a bit worried. If it really dropped a bunch of trash, would the two of them just eliminate him on the spot? He thought it’d be best if the items were decent but not suitable for either of them.

With a mix of hope and fear, Qin Dahai gritted his teeth and clicked hard on the boss’s corpse.

Immediately, a row of item notifications popped up. Since the three of them were in a group, Xiao Buli and Zhang Haojie could also see what was dropped.

The boss dropped three items.

The first item turned out to be a quest item, which Xiao Buli recognized—

Black Dragon King Flag Fragment (Quest Item): This black fragment appears to have been a part of a king’s banner. Using this item can trigger a quest.

The second item was a piece of gold-quality armor.

Black Dragon Scale Treasure Armor (Armor - Chestplate): Armor +60, Strength +5, Stamina +5, Physique +5, Immune to Yin Attribute Spells.

Attached Skills:

Dragon Prestige LV1: Due to the aura of the Black Dragon, you radiate a faint sense of majesty.

Intimidating Beasts LV5 (once a day): Release dragon’s prestige to intimidate the surrounding beasts, causing them to flee in terror. For a short time, they will not dare to attack you.

Armor Description: This is an exquisitely crafted armor made from dragon hide and dragon scales. The armor retains the aura of the Dragon Clan, and because it’s made from materials dropped by a Black Dragon, it has very strong defense against Yin Attribute damage.

Equipment Requirements: Strength 20, Physique 30.

The third item was a piece of blue-quality horse armor, quite rare.

Linked Horse Armor (Mount Armor): Armor +40, Physique +5, Speed -2, the mount takes 30% less piercing damage.

The fourth item was a silver-quality cloak.

Bandit King’s Cloak: Armor +10, Charm +3.

Attached Effect: When wearing this cloak, you automatically have ’Respected’ Prestige among bandit-type creatures.

The fifth item was a Skill Book.

"Dragging Blade Slash": After a short acceleration, rush toward the target and deliver a sharp slash, dealing 300% weapon damage.

Learning Requirements: Advanced Profession ’Warrior General’, Strength 30 points, Stamina 30 points, Speed 30.

Beyond that, there were thirteen Gold Coins.

The moment these five items’ attributes were shown, everyone’s mouths watered with envy.

This stuff was terrifying, golden equipment! Compared to the loot they had obtained before, it was as if their previous gear was trash common on the streets.

But there was nothing they could do about it. While everyone thought so, they all watched Xiao Buli and Zhang Haojie, thinking, let’s see how you split it.

Zhang Haojie slightly pondered before saying, "Of these five items, the Black Dragon Scale Armor is undoubtedly the most valuable. How about this: we consider the Black Dragon Scale Armor as one part, and the remaining four items as another part. I’ll just take the Black Dragon Scale Armor, and you can have the other four. How’s that?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Buli immediately wanted to object because, generally, the value of one top-tier piece of equipment was at least equivalent to three or four pieces of lower-tier equipment like this Black Dragon Scale Armor.

But as he typed a line of text in the dialogue box, he did not immediately send it. After hesitating for a moment, he deleted it.

(Why would Zhang Haojie say that?) Xiao Buli felt a wave of strangeness in his heart. It was unlike someone as shrewd as his counterpart to reveal his true goal right from the start, wasn’t that just giving him the opportunity to raise the price? Or perhaps Zhang Haojie’s goal wasn’t really that?

His gaze swept over the other four items—the Dragging Blade Slash was a fairly good Skill Book, particularly useful for warriors. The Linked Horse Armor was also extremely beneficial for warriors, and while the Bandit King’s Cloak didn’t have impressive Attributes, its special effect could be significant if used well.

As for the Black Dragon King Flag Fragment, it also held great value to those who were unaware of its significance; after all, the words "Black Dragon King Flag" were extraordinary in themselves. Since Zhang Haojie was a high-ranking member of the Awesome Empire, he must know the importance behind these words.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Xiao Buli was almost certain of it, but he still felt it was better to be safe.

"Alright then, but you’re getting quite the bargain this way. In that case, give me the Gold Coins dropped by the BOSS as well. I assume your big business won’t mind this small amount of money."

Having said that, Xiao Buli let Qin Dahai divide the equipment. However, Zhang Haojie was left stunned; he had not expected Xiao Buli to yield so easily. He had thought Xiao Buli would certainly fight him for the Black Dragon Scale Armor, the gold-tier equipment, so that he could take the other four items and some Gold Coins effortlessly for himself. @@novelbin@@

Unexpectedly, Xiao Buli simply agreed, which wasn’t part of his plan.

Indeed, he coveted the Black Dragon King Flag Fragment. Since it was a quest item, the triggered quest could very likely be related to the Black Dragon Legion, which was of great significance to him. The other three items were also valuable.

With this in mind, he no longer dared to play hard to get and hurriedly said, "Although the Black Dragon Scale Armor is nice, the other four items are also valuable. I can’t let you have all the money."

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Buli’s previous thoughts were affirmed. He smiled lightly and said, "Then let’s split it, I don’t mind."

After saying that, he urged them on. Qin Dahai glanced at Zhang Haojie, about to divide the loot, but Zhang Haojie quickly called out, "Wait, let me think a bit more."

Xiao Buli wasn’t in a hurry. He turned to Han Wenhuan and gave a couple of instructions, and Han Wenhuan immediately typed in the game: "Hey, you were the one who said you wanted the Black Dragon Scale Armor. What more do you want?"

Xiao Buli played peacemaker, "We are all comrades who fought together; there’s no need to be like this. How about this. If you really don’t think it’s fair, you give me the Gold Coins, and then you can choose one more item from the four. If it isn’t something I particularly want, I’m fine with you having it."

Just as Zhang Haojie was about to choose, Chen Chuan suddenly pulled him aside urgently, "Boss, they’re setting a trap for you. If you pick now, you’ll fall right into it."

Zhang Haojie immediately realized the situation. The other party’s willingness to give him the items was under the condition of "if I don’t particularly want it," but no matter which item he chose, they could simply say, "Oh, I happen to particularly want this one," to increase the price. In that case, he would fall straight into their hands.

Thinking of this, he inwardly sighed in relief, gratefully looking at Chen Chuan. Scheming was not exactly his strong suit, "Then what should I say?"

Chen Chuan sighed and said, "Boss, just stop beating around the bush with them. That Xiao Buli is very sly; you can’t outplay them. Just be straightforward, don’t beat around the bush anymore. You’re stronger than them, and we have the backing of a guild. At most, we let them have a little advantage—they surely won’t dare to rip us off too much, or risk falling out with us."

Hearing this made sense to Zhang Haojie. After all, he was the one who had buried himself in this situation. He had no choice but to type, "I’ll just speak plainly then. I want the Black Dragon King Flag Fragment, the Linked Horse Armor, and ’Dragging Blade Slash’. You can have the remaining two items. We’ll split the Gold Coins equally.

How does that sound?"

Xiao Buli was startled by the sudden change in attitude, struggling to react, but the deal was not bad—a gold-tier equipment was extremely important to him, and the silver-tier cloak was very useful.

"Good, it’s a deal."

Seeing that an agreement was reached, Qin Dahai reluctantly divided the loot, not daring to pocket a single copper coin.

"Come on, bosses, at least give us a cut."

Zhang Haojie casually tossed a Gold Coin, and Xiao Buli also traded the ’Sturdy Leather Cuirass’ he had exchanged to him, so Qin Dahai did not end up laboring in vain.

Zhang Haojie lost interest in staying any longer. "Let’s go," he said and led his people away.

Once Zhang Haojie and his party left, Xiao Buli couldn’t wait to get into the two pieces of equipment. As they say, clothes make the man; donning the Black Dragon Scale Armor, his appearance immediately took on a much more imposing air, complemented by the black cloak billowing behind him, he even possessed a bit of a bandit king’s domineering aura.

Han Wenhuan asked, "Boss, what do we do next? All the militia are dead. It’s gonna be tough if we want to attack their stronghold."

Xiao Buli chuckled, "What need do we have for militia? The Black Mountain Bandits are now headless after this battle, hardly anything left. We are enough. Let’s not delay. I’ll report to Sky Grass, and in three days, we attack Black Mountain."

Having said that, he glanced at the other Solo Players. After the battle, two had died, leaving thirteen. As they had all gained some benefits, their Morale seemed quite high. It was the perfect time to capitalize on their enthusiasm, so Xiao Buli stood atop the palisades, "Who’s interested in taking Black Mountain with me!"

This was hardly a question; the hard part was over, and now it was time to reap the benefits. Without much coaxing, the crowd agreed enthusiastically.

PS: The outbreak begins tomorrow. Whether you believe it or not, well, I do. (
