Chapter 4

"Does your Spirit Guild want to buy this quest?" Li Huailin asked, listening to Ye Hang's meaning. "What's the price?"

"First, ask the village chief if this quest is a solo quest or a team quest." Ye Hang, being very professional, asked before answering.

"Oh." Li Huailin nodded and turned to look at the gray-bearded village chief, "Old man, is the quest you mentioned a solo one or a team one?"

"Great warrior, although you are very powerful, this quest is full of danger, so I suggest you call some capable teammates to help you," the gray-bearded village chief formally said.

"It seems to be a team quest." Li Huailin turned back and said.

"In that case, I have two proposals. One is to form a team to take on this quest and help you complete it. In this case, you don't need to pay, but we will also take the rewards as our compensation. The second is to form a team to take on the quest, and then you give up the quest, and we, the Spirit Guild, will complete it. In this case, we will give you a sum of money as compensation," Ye Hang, being the vice president of a large guild, immediately came up with two feasible plans.

"Oh, how much compensation?" Li Huailin didn't even consider the first plan; he didn't want to lose tens of thousands of experience points and immediately aimed for the compensation.

"Our guild has just moved into 'Heart of Glory' and doesn't have much in-game currency. Can we use real money instead?" Ye Hang thought for a moment and asked.

"No problem." Li Huailin nodded.

"In that case, 30,000." Ye Hang immediately quoted a price.

"30,000... " Li Huailin was quite satisfied, but he still showed a slightly unsatisfied look on his face. After all, it was a business deal, and he couldn't agree immediately; there might be room for a higher price.

"35,000, and I'll transfer it immediately." Ye Hang, seeing Li Huailin's hesitation, immediately raised the price.

"35,000 plus 10 silver coins in-game currency, and we have a deal." Li Huailin thought for a moment and still wanted some in-game currency as a backup. Ten silver coins weren't much, just 1,000 copper coins, but a large guild like the Spirit Guild definitely had it.

"Alright, deal." Ye Hang said straightforwardly.

"Alright, form a team with me to take the quest, and after I give it up, you transfer the money." Li Huailin said. He wasn't afraid that the Spirit Guild would cheat; with so many players around and the Spirit Guild being a reputable large guild, they wouldn't trick him.

"Alright."

A team invitation immediately came through, and Li Huailin accepted it. Looking at the team, there were four players from the Spirit Guild: Spirit Night Sailing, Spirit Firehead, Spirit War Soul, and Spirit Gray Machine, all male.

"Old man, give me the quest quickly." With the team formed, Li Huailin said to the gray-bearded village chief again.

"Of course, warrior." The gray-bearded village chief said with a smile.

System notification: The village chief of the beginner village has issued an AA-level hidden quest, 'Source of Evil.' Do you accept?

"Yes."

AA-level hidden quest 'Source of Evil' -1: Find the source of the dark creatures appearing in the beginner village. Hint: It is said that someone found traces of the demonic race to the south of the village. Please investigate. Quest reward: 2,000 experience, 10 reputation, 1 silver coin.

"Such a small reward?" Li Huailin was a bit surprised.

"No, the quest has a -1, which means it's part of a series. This is just the reward for one part of the hidden quest. It won't be just this much," Ye Hang, with his extensive game experience, immediately saw the reason.

"I see." Li Huailin nodded, "But it's not related to me anymore."

After saying that, Li Huailin left the team and opened the quest menu to give up the quest.

System notification: Do you really want to give up the AA-level hidden quest 'Source of Evil'?

"Yes."

System notification: You have given up the AA-level hidden quest 'Source of Evil.' You have gained 1,000 reputation points.

"Huh?" Li Huailin was stunned and immediately realized that giving up a quest should deduct reputation points, but due to his character's bug, it now added reputation points.

"Damn, can I take it again?" Li Huailin quickly asked the gray-bearded old man in front of him.

"Sorry, warrior, this is a hidden quest. Once you give it up, you can't take it again," the gray-bearded village chief said regretfully.

"Damn, can't farm reputation points anymore..." Li Huailin muttered to himself, a bit disappointed.

The people from the Spirit Guild didn't pay attention to Li Huailin. Ye Hang and the others were discussing the quest, and the task of transferring money had already been notified to the guild's financial personnel to go offline and transfer it.

"Alright, the money has been transferred to the account you provided. Here are the ten silver coins." Ye Hang walked over and traded the ten silver coins to Li Huailin, "We are going to complete the quest. By the way, Huailin, you are a solo player, right? Have you thought about joining a guild? I can recommend you to join the Spirit Guild and join my second team."

"Hmm?" Li Huailin was slightly moved. The second team of the Spirit Guild wasn't just an online group; it was basically a department of a large company, with a monthly salary of no less than ten thousand yuan and bonuses, which was very enjoyable. However, after carefully considering his current situation, he was an illegal login. If the Spirit Guild needed him to work on-site or discovered his current situation, it would be a loss.

"Sorry, I am a solo player and won't join any guild." Thinking about his situation, Li Huailin seriously declined.

"Oh, I see." Ye Hang nodded. Indeed, there were players who only liked solo play, so he wasn't surprised, "Alright, let's add each other as friends. We might meet again in the future."

"Alright."

The two added each other as friends, and the people from the Spirit Guild left. The surrounding players were still gathered there, having been stunned by what just happened. They wanted to ask Li Huailin what was going on, but they didn't dare to disturb him when they saw the Spirit Guild people talking to him. After all, they were a large guild, and it was better not to provoke them. But now that the Spirit Guild people had left, they immediately surrounded him.

"Whoosh," before the surrounding players could react, Li Huailin flashed with a white light and logged out.

"Damn, this cool guy left so quickly." The surrounding players were left empty-handed and felt depressed.

"Too cool, too cool." A player nearby, still in shock from slapping the NPC, shouted crazily.

"I'm impressed, I beg for the cool guy's name, I want to be his follower!" A big man yelled.

"Right, he seemed to just slap the village chief to get the hidden quest. Why don't we try it?" A player suddenly said.

"Right!" "Right!"

A group of players suddenly realized and turned their green eyes toward the dazed gray-bearded village chief.

"I'll do it!" A muscular man stepped forward, lifted the village chief's collar, and slapped him with his right hand.

"Slap." The player suddenly flew straight out as if hit by a truck, crashed into the wall of a house about ten meters away, and instantly turned into a beam of white light, dying.

"Damn, really an instant kill!" The surrounding players exclaimed again.

"How do you play this? Why did the cool guy have no problem, but we got instantly killed?" A player asked.

"Is it the wrong posture? I remember the cool guy did it like this." Another player flew out and turned into a beam of white light.

"No, I think it's this posture." Another player quickly flew out.

"Is it the wrong expression? I remember the cool guy had this expression when he hit him." Another player with a constipated expression flew out.

"Does it only work if you're a virgin?" Soon, a teenager flew out into space.

...

Regardless of what happened there, Li Huailin, upon logging out, immediately checked his online bank and found that indeed 35,000 had been added to his account.

"Hehe, this game is really profitable. I earned 35,000 on the first day of playing. I am indeed cool, awesome, and amazing," Li Huailin said satisfactorily.
