MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 680 - 680: Performance

The players' emotions soared up and down like a roller coaster; first, they mistakenly thought they were going to be killed, then they found out that the Artillery Shells were ineffective against them.

But the next Blade Car, forced them to be on high alert, this god damn war machine, was not something current players could contend with.

The players naturally gathered together, forming an alliance in a short time. Clearly, they viewed Li Yao and his team as an opposing coalition of seven teams.

"Aren't our friends inside going to come out and greet us?" Beast Speaker said loudly.

Li Yao stopped a few dozen yards away from them, got straight out of the tank, and standing on top of it, he laughed, "What a pleasant surprise meeting old friends again. It was only a while ago that I defeated you guys at sea, didn't expect to see you again this fast."

Beast Speaker's expression changed, but he immediately laughed and said, "Who do we have here? Chairman Liaoyuan himself. But what's this about the sea? I think you might be mistaking me for someone else?"

Li Yao shook his head with a smile, saying, "So typical of the Prosperous Era's style, always quick to act but slow to own up. Very well, let's just say that I killed several useless old dogs at sea. What do you have to say about that, huh?"

Beast Speaker gave a forced laugh, at that time he didn't agree with using such petty methods against Starfire, but it was his boss's command so he had no choice.

Having denied it earlier, now being cursed, he could only tolerate it and tried to pretend that it had nothing to do with him.

"Why don't you all catch up after we finish the game?" Morren, the vice president of the Ferren Guild, interrupted everyone's conversation.

The others also echoed his sentiment, and Li Yao nodded, saying, "I see a magnificent tower in the distance. Could it be a top-tier base? No wonder it has attracted so many skilled players."

The crowd's faces changed instantly as they didn't know what the base was either.

But this towering building seemed to tower over the whole plain. Obviously, it wasn't just any place. If Li Yao set his sight on it.

Thinking of the power of the tank just now, they wouldn't stand a chance.

Beast Speaker glanced around and said, "Actually, we are also unsure. Rumor has it that there is a top-tier boss inside. How about Sparkling President leading the way?"

Before Li Yao could respond, Tonton, who crawled out of the tank, said, "Humph, do you guys think we are stupid? There must be powerful monsters inside, I expect our tanks will have a hard time dealing with them, right?"

Morren quickly added, "It seems that you, the Prosperous Era, have quite a grudge against Starfire. You plan to send our friend, who just saved us, to his death. This is too shameless! This tower is clearly a Demon Cave, which can't be cleared with just a few hundred people."

"Exactly, exactly, the Prosperous Era always bites the hand that feeds them."

"Damn it, Starfire just saved us, and you are trying to set them up. That's a disgrace."

"We despise your type of hypocrites the most." @@novelbin@@

Beast Speaker presented an embarrassed look on his face and said, "I apologize, I apologize."

Li Yao waved at everyone with a smile, but he was snickering at their antics. He was capable of reading people's minds so he hadn't missed the calculation of those present — they thought the tower was some important base and they were worried about him interfering.

"Big brother, why did you have to save them? From my perspective, we are all opponents, it would be good news if they die," Tonton muttered disbelievingly.

"Whether we have a grudge or not, it doesn't hinder a simple rescue operation. Now that everyone has escaped, it's time for us to leave," Li Yao said, ready to climb back into the tank.

Morren quickly called out, "Wait a moment, Brother Liaoyuan."

Li Yao turned back doubtfully and asked, "Brother Morren, is there anything else?"

Morren cleared his throat and said, "Well, I'm just curious about how you had your tanks. Of course, if it's inconvenient to talk about, we won't press you."

"There's nothing to hide, our team was fortunate enough to land near a tank manufacturing factory. We killed a boss and found these tanks in the factory, which are all functional," Li Yao explained earnestly.

All players looked jealously at Li Yao's team. Seriously, they had the luck to end up at a tank manufacturing plant, why couldn't they have such good luck.

"That can't be right." Morren frowned: "You only have your team, but so many tanks…"

Li Yao complained painfully, "Ah, it was my haste for success, you will understand when you see it."

With that, he ordered the skeletons out of the tanks.

Seeing several dozens of skeletons, everyone swallowed hard. Morren found it hard to say, "Such strong spiritual power, it's impossible."

Li Yao sighed and said, "Yes, it's so hard, I'm already exhausted I feel like I'm dying. I plan to find a place to take a good rest as I can't fully control these skeletons."

With that, Li Yao saluted them and was about to climb back into the tank.

At this moment, Beast Speaker couldn't hold back and quickly exclaimed, "Chairman Liaoyuan, please wait."

Li Yao frowned, "What else do you have to say?"

Morren preemptively spoke, "Ahem, Chairman Liao, your strength is widely accepted. However, as you mentioned earlier, you can't possibly control so many tanks. It would be a burden, and the harm would outweigh the benefit."

Li Yao acted as if he didn't understand and asked doubtfully, "Do you have any good solutions?"

"Of course, Chairman Liaoyuan must know that if an item is endorsed by the System, it can be traded. Keeping so many tanks will only burden you, why not sell a couple to us, the Ferren Guild, and that way you won't need to hide and rest all the time. You could also earn some military merits, why not, right?"

"That's right, it was what we thought too, or sell it to us, name your price Chairman Liaoyuan."

"Exactly, exactly, there's no need to sell it to these top-tier guilds. They are all cheapskates. It's better you sell them to us."

The members of other guilds also couldn't contain themselves and started expressing their thoughts one after another. No kidding, if they could buy a tank with dead military merit, it would be the deal of the century.

"This doesn't seem quite right, wouldn't I be at a loss?" Li Yao still looked reluctant.

Everyone tried to persuade him once again, fearing that Li Yao wouldn't agree to sell.

The persuasion continued for about ten or so minutes until Li Yao finally loosened his grip, "Alright, you guys have a point. It's not like I can fully command these tanks, selling some wouldn't be a problem. But I have to clarify, I will only sell twenty tanks and five Blade Cars."

Everyone's faces filled with joy, but immediately afterward they all looked at each other cautiously.

Twenty tanks might seem like a lot, but there were at least hundreds of teams here. Among hundreds of teams, twenty tanks were barely enough.

Sister Li also emerged at this time. She said, "I will handle the specific details. The Chairman doesn't handle such things. The Chairman has decided to sell twenty tanks. I think we should hold a small auction. Highest bidder wins."

All their faces turned green. An auction, this was way too ruthless, it was like forcing them to bleed dry. But looking around at everyone else, would anyone back off?

Tonton leaned against the tank, watching Sister Li take care of the process. In the team channel, she said, "Big brother, how was it? I was quite supportive, wasn't I?"

Li Yao was in a good mood now, saying, "You truly are a little devil! Everyone, come out, let's see how many military merits we can earn this time."…

PS: Tomorrow's my birthday, so the updates for these two days may be a little late.
