Chapter 989: Chapter 989: The Target of Calculation Appears Chapter 989: Chapter 989: The Target of Calculation Appears “What’s wrong with you guys, coming over only now, do you have any idea how long we’ve been waiting in the graveyard?” Ling Feng stood up and spoke irritably when he saw the four of them approaching with smiles and laughter.

Little Cat raised her eyebrows, “Are you an idiot? We’ve explained it so many times already, we were killing the boss. You saw the announcement, right? We got the first kill.”

Speaking of the first kill, Ling Feng’s face looked even more displeased. It was a first kill of a boss of the same or even a higher level, which was incredibly valuable.

He was also in this team and had the chance to get the first kill.

“Crap, if you could get the first kill, why didn’t you start earlier? And, how come this trash could get the first kill, but we couldn’t?” Ling Feng directed his accusations not at the detached Xia Xia, but at Bing Yu.

The implication was clear; he was resenting them for not including him in the first kill.

“Get lost,” was the only word Bing Yu said, which made Ling Feng’s face grow even uglier.

Xia Xia frowned and said, “Your anger is completely unreasonable. We don’t have the ability to get the first kill. It was the three of us who paid Chase to lead us to the first kill, and would you please watch your language? Chase isn’t trash, and you are being very impolite.”

“What, that’s impossible.” Ling Feng’s eyes nearly shot fire, “I admit his engineering skills are decent, but he didn’t even fire a single arrow from beginning to end. How could such a guy lead you to a first kill, stop kidding around.”

“He didn’t attack at all,” so Little Cat briefly explained the process.

People from several studios admired Li Yao, never expecting that a first kill could be achieved in such a way. Does that mean that bringing a Necromancer could allow for endless boss kills?

Ling Feng’s scorn grew even stronger, “I knew it, truly petty. With just one idea you could scam more than a thousand Gold Coins, no one is like you, I’ve never seen such a shameless person. Moreover, as someone we hired, why didn’t you share such a good idea sooner and let us wipe instead? Your character is really…”

Li Yao responded coldly, “Idiot, I’m not your daddy, it’s not my business if you go die. You did hire me, true, but my duty was only to unlock, nothing more. Why should I care about your life or death? You’re so full of yourself, thinking you’re the sun and the world revolves around you. I just didn’t want to bring you for the first kill, so what? I’ll bring who I want to bring, what can you do about it? With your kind of garbage, not just a hundred Gold Coins, even ten thousand Gold Coins from you would stink.”

The others listened, dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected the usually quiet Li Yao to be so sharp.

“You, you, you…” Ling Feng trembled with rage, “Since you’ve completed your task, our contract ends here, right? You can leave now, can’t you?”

The expressions of both women changed at once. Little Cat didn’t know, but they were very aware of Li Yao’s prowess. He was an exceptional expert, and as he said, he was under no obligation to act.

With an extreme laugh, Li Yao retorted, “The hiring contract is crystal clear; I’ve acquired the right to complete this task, meaning even if you terminate the hire, I can still continue with this task alone or with others. Are you sure you want to terminate the contract?”

“Crap, are you stupid? Terminate it now, Xia Xia…” Ling Feng turned to Xia Xia.

Xia Xia’s face changed completely. Knowing how capable Li Yao was and his knack for ideas, if they began to compete for this task, could they really proceed with the next step? It was a joke; after having spent so much money on this task, how could she allow such an event to happen?

“Don’t act rashly; I’m the real employer here, so of course we’ll adhere to the contract. Besides, we might need your help with later tasks, and I also want to hire you as a combatant. Name your price,” Xia Xia looked at Bing Yu, “What do you think?”

“Okay, we’ll split the hiring cost,” Bing Yu nodded in agreement.

“You, you…” Ling Feng was furious, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, but since it was the calm Xi Xia who made the decision, he would’ve already blown up if it had been someone else.

“Alright, let it be, Hunter, name your price,” the calm Xi Xia said.

“I like smart people. Let’s say this, I’ll still need engineering expertise later on, and I am a man of principle. No need to change the hiring price, let’s keep it that way. What interests me is the task itself,” Li Yao didn’t raise the price.

“Then thank you very much,” Xi Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

The kitten, however, curled her lip: “Never thought the miser would be so generous for once.”

“I’m only generous to those who know how to respect others. The saying ‘treat others as you would like to be treated’ is exactly what I mean,” Li Yao said, shrugging his shoulders.

“Alright, alright, let’s go turn in the task,” the Shield Warrior said. Seeing Li Yao’s profound engineering knowledge had already changed so much, and knowing a method to farm bosses, he saw Li Yao in an increasingly favorable light.

Though Ling Feng was angered, he couldn’t do anything about it, and the group could only hurry to complete the task.

Li Yao knew that he had seriously offended this guy, but he didn’t care at all; after all, once this task was done, they’d be strangers anyway.

It took the group two hours to arrive at a silver coin cave hidden behind a mountain, and as soon as Li Yao entered the cave, he felt a warm current.

“This is the NPC’s laboratory,” the calm Xi Xia said, “It seems there is an Eye Lake below, which is why it is so warm here.”

Li Yao nodded. A powerful figure’s Engineering Laboratory generally used magma as a furnace, and compared to Li Yao’s own small lab, which only used regular furnaces, there was too much of a difference.

However, the materials he was currently using did not require extremely high temperatures, so for now, it was quite sufficient.

When engineering reached the pinnacle, one had to go to specific places to craft some superior materials, like the Light Faction’s Dwarf capital, Ironforge, which had the largest Furnace, and their technique of channeling magma was exceptionally skilled.

Inside the cave, there were alarm robots and guard robots. Li Yao took a few glances at the manufacturing style of the robots and understood immediately. In his heart, he calmly devised a plan on how to trick the NPC.

That’s right, Li Yao intended to trick the NPC inside, who was very strong and a super-boss of a dungeon, although it would take a long time to reach that stage.

“To think you completed my commission so quickly, not bad. Where’s the thing?” said a gnome, its voice filled with a metallic texture as if it were a machine, not a living being.

The calm Xi Xia handed over the key, and afterwards, everyone gained a substantial amount of experience and the good graces of this NPC.

However, Li Yao didn’t care about that at all. This was a super antagonistic boss; the goodwill was utterly useless.

“Very well, this is it. Wait for me a moment, I need to apply some techniques before you can use this key to open that portal,” the female gnome said as she started bustling about.

The rest of the group stayed quietly in place, while Li Yao observed for a while, thoughts flashing through his mind, already hatching a plan…
