Chapter 982 - Chapter 982 Chapter 982 Continue to Prevail

Chapter 982: Chapter 982 Continue to Prevail Chapter 982: Chapter 982 Continue to Prevail It was a while before Summer Girls finally spoke up, “This team specializes in power-leveling services, but not just your average Gold Coin service. They help players farm instances and complete high-difficulty tasks. This studio is also quite famous in the industry. If I didn’t know their boss personally, there’s no way they would accept the job for the price I offered.”

Li Yao glanced at their guild emblem. Scarlet Moon was indeed a prestigious high-end studio. Moreover, it was filled with super experts, including some retired professional players. However, Li Yao had no dealings with them. He just nodded to show that he understood.

The rest of the team was listening to their conversation, and after hearing Summer Girls praise the studio, they were preparing to hear Li Yao express his admiration. However, Li Yao simply nodded indifferently, leaving everyone else feeling quite awkward.

The atmosphere suddenly turned a bit tricky. These people had previously looked down on or doubted Li Yao, not believing he was particularly skilled.

Even their studio had players who were advanced engineers, and the first time they attempted it, they were led by an engineer from their own studio.

But they failed, and then that person told them that, at this stage, completing this task was simply unrealistic. The Engineer Lock originated from Titan technology, and although this was a simplified version, understanding engineering was just the basics. A profound knowledge of the Old Gods and broad insights were key.

If he wanted to unlock all eight locks, he would need good luck and encounter only simple puzzles to succeed.

Later on, three employers hired two other master engineers, but their performance was still worse than the people from their own studio; their folks managed to unlock three locks. The other two couldn’t even solve the third lock.

And those people took a long time to unlock the locks, unlike Li Yao. Bloody hell, he was still talking when he unlocked it. Remembering the sweat-covered, frustrated faces of the other engineers and then looking at Li Yao, who was still casual, it was clear who was superior.

This was definitely a master. In the realm of the Old Gods, sometimes having combat skills alone isn’t enough; a specialty can be more important than strength itself, especially for many critical tasks.

Upon seeing Summer Girls chatting and laughing with Li Yao, Ling Feng immediately darkened. This was the first time he had seen Summer Girls so happily conversing with a stranger.

Although she always wore a smile that felt as refreshing as a spring breeze, it was a different matter.

“Hmph, let’s not take this lightly,” Ling Feng said, “Master, don’t you get overconfident either. Maybe you just got lucky with the first lock being simple, or it was something you knew how to handle. The subsequent locks will only get harder. Don’t talk as if everything is certain. It would be troublesome if you were to overreach and couldn’t manage later. The most important thing about being a person is…”

Li Yao nodded slightly and suddenly interjected, “Hey, hey, the team’s a mess. Who’s the commander here? Are we heading for a wipe? Why isn’t anyone adjusting? If you can’t hold on, I’m not going down with you guys.”

“Pfft…”

The women in the team couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

Ling Feng quickly got the team back in order, and the situation finally stabilized.

“I thought Summer Girls was bluffing just now. I mean, Scarlet Moon has quite the reputation. How come their combat strength seemed so mediocre? Now I get it, it’s all because amateurs are directing the professionals,” said Li Yao slowly and deliberately.

Summer Girls gave Li Yao a sidelong glance and said, “Ling Feng is trying to organize a school team and wants to be the commander, so he’s practicing. And I think he’s doing quite well as a commander.”

Li Yao shrugged and muttered, “Hmm, not too bad. I suppose he could scrape by leading a third-rate small team.”

“If you’re so capable, then you take over,” Ling Feng finally couldn’t ignore the comments anymore and glared at Li Yao.

“Sure, you want me to be the commander, right? If you all follow my commands, I can guarantee that we’ll complete this task in one go. But why should I do it? Are you going to pay me? I won’t bother wasting my breath,” Li Yao replied.

“Fine, I want to see just how good you are. Name your price,” Ling Feng said with a sneer.

Li Yao held up a finger and waggled it.

“Ten Gold Coins? I’ll pay that,” Ling Feng said as he reached for his Gold Coins.

Li Yao said with disdain, “Scram, beggar.”

“A hundred gold coins? Ni ma, I’ll sign the contract. I’ll buy the gold coins for you. You direct for now,” Ling Feng said, his face flushing red.

Summer Girls quickly interjected, “Don’t be impulsive, a hundred gold coins is no small amount.”

“It’s fine, I can afford that. I just can’t stand people showing off like this,” Ling Feng said, anger flashing in his eyes.

“I said a thousand gold coins, okay? You think you can see how I direct for a hundred gold coins? Are you still half asleep?” Li Yao looked at Ling Feng as if he was an idiot.

Fuck…

Everyone else was also shocked: Holy shit, a thousand gold coins.

As they spoke, they had already made their way into the nearby inn.

Li Yao casually walked up to the treasure chest and began to unlock it.

“Damn it, do you think you’re the world’s number one commander, or a commander from Starfire who always gets first kills? A thousand gold coins. Why don’t you just die? There’s a limit to how much you can show off,” Ling Feng nearly exploded with rage but held back his swear words to maintain his image in front of Summer Girls.

“Forget it, forget it, maybe he was just joking,” he said.

“Right, right, just a joke. Boss, just give good directions, okay? Let’s complete this mission,” they urged.

Click…

They had just blocked the door and were arranging their formation when they heard the sound of the treasure chest opening. They couldn’t help but turn around and saw Li Yao once again tossing the freshly looted item to the equally stunned Summer Girls.

“The next one’s in the Alchemy Laboratory. Why are you still standing there in shock? Make way, make way,” Li Yao said, returning to the team.

“Is it really that easy? This one’s supposed to be twice as hard as the first,” Summer Girls said, completely baffled.

Li Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, “Didn’t someone just say it? I had good luck and encountered an easy Engineer Lock. The second one was also simple, so I directly unlocked it.”

Everyone was speechless. Easy, my ass. Even if you’re lucky and encounter a familiar lock, it still takes quite a bit of time, okay? How can it be so easy to just touch the chest and unlock it in a few seconds?

The team charged towards the Alchemy Laboratory. After a while, Summer Girls asked, “Do you really know how to direct, and are you really good at it?”

“Not bad, at least I’m not half-baked,” Li Yao said with a smile. “Do you really believe that?”

Summer Girls earnestly nodded, “I believe.”

Li Yao just smiled and didn’t say anything more.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. He hasn’t even joined the battle until now. Clearly, he hasn’t been in any team. Someone like that has no combat capability. How can he lead a team?” Ling Feng said as if he had caught Li Yao’s weak spot, and he said with contempt.

“Big brother, I am a Master Engineer, okay? You guys didn’t pay me to fight, why should I?” Li Yao stated matter-of-factly. “Besides, if I joined the battle, there would be no difficulty left in this mission. Do you think that would be fun?”…
