The Almighty Ring - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: 155




An enlightened, purpose-driven Jiang Fei logged into the game . . He brought his guild for a round of Heroic dungeons . After that, Jiang Fei collected Green Smithing Recipes that were Level 20 and above . He wanted to become stronger . The fastest way to do so was to increase the level of the ring . Eventually, he could bring more equipment from the game into the real world!

Of course, Jiang Fei would use all his might to fight for a treasure similar to the Evolution Blood . However, such treasures were highly uncommon .

Despite all his effort, Jiang Fei could not find anyone selling Recipes, even after roaming around the city gates and the stalls set up there . The odds of pub players obtaining items like that were abysmal!

"Hey! Brother! Do you want to see something good?"

Jiang Fei was still shopping . All of a sudden, someone whispered next to his ear .

"Eh?"

Jiang Fei turned around and saw a player standing right next to him .

It was an odd, peculiar character . He was not very tall, and his mouth looked like a monkey's . He looked pathetic . By right, most people would beautify their appearances with the system's aid when they created their avatars . However, this fellow looked so helplessly ugly, that not even the system's beautifying effects worked . This had been a deliberate act!

Smart Tomato (Rodent Race, Thief)

Level: 19

Health Point: 1624

Attack Power: 284



Remark: Guildless .

Jiang Fei took a look at the person's attributes . He finally understood why this fellow looked so pathetic . Since he had chosen the rodent race, he looked like an anthropomorphic rat . No orc player would submit themselves to such a fate . It was bizzare, to say the least .

"What do you want?" Jiang Fei asked suspiciously .

"Hey! Brother, I have some good stuff here, do you want to have a look?" Smart Tomato asked, grinning deviously .

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Fei frowned . This person somehow looked familiar .

"Good stuff! Come, come over here and we can talk!"


Smart Tomato ignored his questions and continued pulling Jiang Fei towards a secluded area .

"The hell are you on about! Have we met before? God damnit, is this what I hear of vagrants selling porn films underneath bridges?"

Jiang Fei pulled away from the fellow .

"Really good stuff!"



Smart Tomato even playfully raised his eyebrows as he spoke to Jiang Fei .

"Bloody hell! There are so many people around here . Why don't you pull one of them along? Do I look like someone selling fur hides?"

Jiang Fei was getting annoyed .

Well, it was not like he could blame him . There were indeed many people shopping around . However, none of them stood out like Jiang Fei . He was covered in a body of bedazzling, expensive looking armor . Apart from a few pieces of equipment shining with a blue light, most of them were shining with a purple light . He was a truly wealthy man!

Not only the quick-witted Smart Tomato was acting so intrusively . Everyone who had set up a shop would eagerly promote their own products as Jiang Fei passed by . It was as if Jiang Fei would pay ten thousand dollars for a stalk of wheat!

"Come! Come!"

Smart Tomato ran to a corner with no other people around . He waved enthusiastically at Jiang Fei .

"Come, my arse! Are you sick?"

Jiang Fei turned around and started walking away .

"Ayy! Ayyyy! Don't leave!"

Smart Tomato ran back to him and lowered his voice when he spoke . "I really have some good stuff . Don't you want to have a look?"

"What toy is it? Show me!"

This fellow had said those words multiple times . Jiang Fei's curiosity soon got the better of him .

"Come, come, come!"

Smart Tomato dragged Jiang Fei to the corner with no other people . As they were still in the city, Jiang Fei was not worried if the fellow was trying to play tricks on him .

When Jiang Fei arrived, Smart Tomato peeked around carefully . Once he was certain no one else was looking, he displayed a screenshot of the game to Jiang Fei .

"A golden treasure chest of Legendary quality! I am sure you haven't seen it before!" Smart Tomato said giddily, full of himself .

"I have actually seen quite a few of those golden treasure chests . That monster guarding it -- can't say I have!"

Jiang Fei rolled his eyes . He had no idea where this young fellow could have gone to take such a picture . The golden treasure chest was indeed rare and rather alluring . However, the tiger next to it was way too intimidating . It had sharp fangs and ferocious-looking claws, on top of a large, mighty body . As it was only a screenshot, Jiang Fei could not determine the level of the tiger . Was this a boss, or simply an elite?!

"Hehe! This is quite the secluded spot . There are monsters all around it . I died four times trying to find a safe way in!" Smart Tomato said . Again, he seemed as full of himself as before .

"That explains your low level!"

Jiang Fei nodded . Most mainstream players were mostly Level 20 and above . Even the frontliners were around Level 23 . This fellow was only Level 19 . He did not even have a complete set of equipment . He was basically half-naked . At first, Jiang Fei could not understand why . Now, the pieces were falling into place . This fellow was most determined to approach the treasure chest . He had not give up, even after dying four times!

"I've got the route sorted out . The only problem left is that thing in front of the treasure chest . You look like you'd be able to fend it off for a while . What do you think? When we get there, you can distract the monster while I open the treasure chest . We can split the loot . I will take eight-tenths of the loot while you take the remainder!" Smart Tomato said, as he gave Jiang Fei a charitable look .

"Don't kid around now . What a scam!"

Jiang Fei rolled his eyes and started walking away .

What kind of a joke is this? I fight the damn boss while you open the treasure chest . What if you ran off with the loot? Not to mention how dangerous the beast looked . What if I died? Forget about the experience points he had at this level . Jiang Fei's overall equipment was most definitely worth more than a Legendary Quality treasure chest!

Did Smart Tomato really think he was dumb enough to take such a huge risk for this tiny gain?

"Aye, aye, aye… Don't leave, brother . We can talk about this!"

Smart Tomato tugged at Jiang Fei .

"What is there to talk about? Go do it yourself"

Jiang Fei glared at Smart Tomato .

"So . . . . What do you propose?" Smart Tomato asked helplessly .

In truth, Jiang Fei was not the first person he had looked for . However, no one would fall for it so easily . Forget about the ratio of the split . Nobody would simply trust the other person to open the treasure chest!

"How about we do it this way? You will forget about whatever is inside the treasure chest . I will buy the treasure chest from you . Once you bring me to the location of the treasure chest, I will give you two thousand gold coins!"

Jiang Fei thought for a while before he spoke . After all, the Legendary Quality treasure chest was rather attractive to him .

"What about the monster? Will I be distracting it?" Smart Tomato asked . He was rather convinced . Although he did not know what was inside the treasure chest, it would be pointless if he cannot even have it in the first place . Moreover, someone else might discover the location of the treasure chest eventually . If that happened, he would have lost everything!

Furthermore, two thousand gold coins was not a small sum . Some guilds could not even gather this much money . For someone who relied on gaming to earn money for a living, it was a massive sum!
