Chapter 1333 - Chapter 1333 Chapter 1333 Treasure

Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333: Treasure Chapter 1333: Chapter 1333: Treasure Li Yao quickly rejoined his original team and then began carving a path away from the Hydra. Floating Snow’s Hydra was really defying logic, as it could greatly restrict movement speed and make harvesting easier.

Though two quicksand areas had emerged, Li Yao still chose to back against the quicksand. Compared to before, there was one more direction to defend, but since they had killed the Alpha Hairhound, the pressure wasn’t much different from before. Moreover, Li Yao was much more serious, so despite the situation seeming dangerous, it was actually as stable as Mount Tai.

Two hours later, the last Hairhound was killed, and the continuous high-intensity battle had taken its toll.

Only then did Li Yao and Edward begin to collect the items needed for the quest. As for other materials, except for those from Warcrafts that were of boss-level and above, which Li Yao found worth his time, he couldn’t be bothered to collect the rest. After gathering what was needed for the quest, he rested atop the Battle Scorpion.

“I say, you’re the chairman of one of the most powerful guilds and a boss to boot. Are you really short on this bit of crummy material?” Li Yao said as he pulled out a bottle of fine wine.

“Short, naturally short,” Edward replied briskly, gathering materials with great efficiency.

“I almost believed you there.” Li Yao had just poured a cup of wine when the other partners snatched the bottle away, and even Star Shine clamored to drink some.

“Do you think we’re all like your Starfire, huh? I don’t have that kind of money to invest in ancient gods, running a guild is not easy,” Edward said, a glint in his eye. “Your Starfire is really taking off, huh? How about this, why not have our two guilds collaborate to organize a competition event?”

“You’d have to ask Sister Li about that, I don’t handle those specifics,” Li Yao replied.

“With that kind of attitude, I’m amazed at how you’ve developed Starfire. It’s truly unfair,” Edward said, speechless, but then added, “With all the wealth of Starfire, aren’t you considering finding a partner? You know, the ancient gods’ pie is so big, you control so many channels, but you haven’t fully realized their potential, especially since Starfire is just an emerging guild.”

“Same as before, talk to Sister Li about any specific partnership. I don’t understand these things, and even if I do understand a little, I’m not professional, so I don’t want to worry about it. I just focus on doing what I need to do,” Li Yao shrugged.

“Then what do you think you should be doing?” Edward asked, resigned.

“I increase Starfire’s visibility and decide the guild’s major development direction, providing the best possible opportunities and conditions for Starfire’s growth. I believe everyone’s energy is limited, as long as everyone plays their part, that’s good. Like in a dynasty, if an emperor has to meddle in everything, even if he had three heads and six arms and a hundred hours in his day, he still wouldn’t be able to finish it all,” Li Yao said with a laugh. “Forget it, talking about this with you always feels like showing off in front of an expert.”

Edward shook his head slightly: “You’re too modest. What you’re saying is absolutely right, and Starfire’s achievements are visible. I just didn’t expect you to have such great courage and to know how to delegate so well.”

“You overestimate me, I just got a bit lucky. At the start of the game, I happened to meet some good people. Sister Li is a big boss in real life, one of the Fortune 500 kind, managing a small guild is a piece of cake. Vivian’s case is even luckier, it’s all about being at the right place at the right time. Otherwise, relying on me alone, even if Starfire was splendid for a time, it wouldn’t have any real fighting power.”

The two chatted idly, with Edward meticulously gathering materials for more than two hours.

“Shall we go deeper?” asked Edward, slouching ungracefully on the Battle Scorpion.

Li Yao shook his head. “Don’t you think the gains from this secret realm are a bit low?”

“Not at all. With these materials, I can make at least ten thousand sets of green-quality standard military outfits,” said Edward.

“But the issue is, this secret realm has both an exploratory and adventurous nature. How could there be no treasure chests? There were a few chests in the Alpha Hairhound’s den, perfect for opening.”

Quickly, everyone arrived at the Alpha Hairhound’s den, which was nothing more than ruins with a huge statue of the dog-headed god in the middle.

Beneath the statue were several treasure chests, two radiating a golden glow and three shimmering with silver.

“Just right, we each open one, but the specific contents we’ll distribute by negotiation, how’s that?” proposed Li Yao.

“In fact, without you and your battle partners, victory would have been impossible. If there’s anything you need, I’ll back off,” Edward said earnestly.

“You’re quite the honorable chairman,” Li Yao remarked before the two of them opened the chests.

“System: Opened the Alpha Hairhound treasure golden chest.”

“System: Obtained blueprint: Hairhound Set.”

“System: Obtained Blood of Prayer.”

“System: Obtained Mask of Prayer.”

Edward also obtained a blueprint, a troop building blueprint: Hairhound Den, Blood of Prayer, and a piece of Gold Equipment.

The other silver chests were opened by others, and the spoils were gathered together.

“I won’t take advantage either. We’re a team, and even though Vivian is your battle partner now, she should get a share too. The three of us will take turns choosing from the spoils until it’s all divided, how about that? Of course, since you contributed the most, you choose first, alright?” Edward added to his previous suggestion.

“That’s fair,” Li Yao looked at the loot and said, “Then I won’t be polite.”

The Hairhound Den of legendary gold quality could be a large-scale lair that periodically produced Warcraft level Hairhounds, and with sufficient Blood of Prayer, one could even recruit an Alpha Hairhound. While the Blood of Prayer was precious, it was not unobtainable.

This was a Warcraft troop type, and although it didn’t look good, having an Alpha Hairhound would mean explosive combat power and formidable vitality. If it weren’t for Li Yao and his team’s overwhelming firepower, they would have been wiped out countless times already.

Even though these troop types were of no use to Li Yao, the Starfire guild needed them. The guild could add another powerful combat troop type, providing Starfire’s players with one more kind of troop to recruit; its value was the greatest.

“Good choice,” Edward said.

“You can drop the act. I bet if you had chosen first, you would’ve picked the set blueprint too,” Li Yao said with a chuckle as he saw Edward put the set blueprint into his backpack.

“You got me there. With this blueprint, the ten thousand sets of equipment I make from those materials will have set properties, and there’s even a one-in-ten chance of becoming blue-quality military outfits, which is much stronger than before. I just happen to have an elite legion of ten thousand soldiers, although equipped with the Original Blood Set, it does not match my legion,” Edward explained.

“You’re really dishonest. It’s not just ten thousand sets; it’s not only here that you can find Hairhounds. With this blueprint, who knows how many materials you could buy. I bet your entire elite legion will be in blue sets,” Li Yao said, half-joking, half-serious.

“Cough cough, who asked you to not pick the set blueprint? Too late for regrets now.”…
