Chapter 79: The Evilest Boss Ever
106 silver and 5 copper!
This huge sum of money shocked the entire shelter.
It has only been a morning since the bounty was posted, but someone had already completed the first kill!
With this efficiency, those people were clearly Pros.
As soon as the Administrator turned and left, a group of players swarmed up, surrounded the four players of Bull and Horse Squad, and asked with admiration.
"Brother! Where did you find the marauders? Did you go to the tire factory?"
"Destroying the entire team without injury, this is too strong!"
"Boss, take me with you!"
Surrounded by so many players, everyone would feel inflated, not to mention Night Ten who always like to boast. He rubbed his nose with his index finger, he said with a smile.
"Sorry, brothers, our team is full and we aren't looking for new recruits at the moment. But don't worry, we will update the strategy later in the evening. It's just a few marauders, anyone with a hand can do it."
"What? You asked me how I took out six people? That's a long story. At that time, six fierce and strong men came towards us. Just when they were about to spot us, I drew out the dagger immediately and was ready to jump..."
Ample Time rolled his eyes at him, completely speechless.
Gale looked away and pretended not to know this guy.
Only Old White was more straightforward and couldn't bear to see this guy showing off. He stretched out his hand and dragged Night Ten away from the crowd.
"Eh eh eh, don't drag me, I haven't finished yet!"
"Finish my ass!"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's prepare for the next wave quickly!"
As the first squad that killed marauders, everyone in the Bull and Horse Squad became the focus of heated discussion among other players.
As for the three marauders that were hanged, their corpses were sent to the Active matter extractor. No one cared about them.
After all, the personality settings of the administrator was a guy who abhorred evils as deadly foes, so it was expected that he would burn these people.
Unable to stand Night Ten's bragging, Ample Time and others did not stay in front of the north gate longer. They took the reward they just received, gathered 120 silver coins from their budget, and then went straight to the weapon shop.
Soon, they became the first customer of Xia Yan and bought the first 7mm bolt-action rifle sold in the weapon store!
After adding 6 7mm steel-cored copper bullets priced as high as 1 silver coin and 10 cheap inferior bullets, Ample Time paid for these items and delivered them to Night Ten.
When everyone's marksmanship was similar, the best choice was to have a perception type player as the shooter.
Old White could throw a javelin, and was brave in close combat. Ample Time could provide support with arrows. His proficiency was quite high currently, and the mid-to-close range may not be weaker than a gun. As for Gale who was the Intelligence type, throwing a Molotov cocktail or a primitive grenade at the critical moment would already be very good. It was not realistic to expect him to have high damage output.
At least in the current version, the intelligence type was indeed a bit useless, but who would guarantee that it would be the same in the future?
Maybe in the next version, the intelligence type would be the best sequence.
"... My archery skill isn't bad, and this bow can last for a while. Brother, this is the only 98K in our team! Don't waste the bullets!"
"Don't worry, good brother! I will definitely not let your expectations down!" Taking it from Ample Time's hand, Night Ten was moved with his gun in his arms, vowing that he would use it well.
With how intense that look of reverence was, it almost looked like he could rub a layer of paint off it.
If there was still paint on it...
In this way, the silver coins that Bull and Horse Squad had just received from the administrator were spent in the weapon shop.
Moreover, in order to replenish gunpowder, arrows, and other supplies, the four of them also used some of their deposits.
However, the four did not feel any distress.
Investing in equipment would soon bring more money to them.
This hunt made them realize the benefit of the mission.
Except for the experience gained in the battle and the coins and contribution points offered as rewards, the spoils that were dropped by the marauders belonged to them as well.
Although they were all melee weapons and simple armors, they could still be used.
The four ambitious players who have re-embarked on the journey were ready for the next hunt.
It would be great to have a bigger wave of marauders next time.
If they could take out a few marauders with guns, then they would really make a fortune!
A gun was at least 100 silver coins in the weapon shop. They could set up a stall in the market and sell their guns to players. Even if they sold the guns at 50 silver coins, it would still be cheaper than the price set in the NPC weapon shop.
As long as it could still be used, a bunch of people would definitely come to buy it!
Ample Time hummed a song and walked farther and farther away, while Chu Guang was still standing near the weapon shop, observing nearby players for a while.
What could be clearly felt was that under the stimulation of Bull and Horse Squad's "sudden wealth", many players were ready to move, and were hesitating on whether to use the money they saved to buy either land or guns.
Anyway, their contribution points were not enough now. And if they didn't have citizenship, they wouldn't be able to buy land even if they had money. It was better to buy a gun to fight the bandits and farm gold and contribution points!
This desire especially ignited when they saw that the four players of Bull and Horse Squad could even kill a team of marauders without guns. Now that they had guns, how many marauders would they be able to kill?
Seeing that these players were already fired up, Chu Guang decided to give them a little push.
So, Chu Guang beckoned to the proprietress of the weapon shop and handed her a plank that was already prepared and said.
"Hang this wooden sign at the door in a moment."
After receiving the sign from Chu Guang, Xia Yan asked with a look of confusion.
"What's written on this?"
Chu Guang replied concisely.
"There is a 10% discount on all revolver rifles in our shop. The discount ends at 12 o'clock in the morning today. 15 revolver rifles are available while stocks last. The replenishment time is undetermined."
Holding the wooden sign in her hand, Xia Yan looked at him with a strange expression.
"Is it necessary to have a discount? Anyway, there's only one shop in this base."
"You think I just want the coins in their pockets? How naive!" Chu Guang said impatiently, not wanting to explain further, "Stop talking nonsense, just do as I said. Go now."
Maybe his wording was a bit tougher, because Xia Yan's body shook visibly, not daring to talk back. She could only leave with the wooden sign.
Satisfied with her obedient performance, Chu Guang nodded approvingly, and continued to stand aside, admiring his masterpiece.
As he expected, as soon as Xia Yan returned to the weapon shop and hung the sign at the door, the players who were still hesitating saw the exciting discount and no longer hesitated. They immediately took out the silver coins in their pockets, frantically buying the weapons on the shelves.
The price of a revolver was very cheap, 110 silver before the discount, and only 99 silver after the discount. It was even less than 100!
And the most important thing was that the revolver rifle was semi-automatic—as long as one pulled the trigger quickly, it could be fired repeatedly!
It was cooler than a bolt action rifle.
It was such a great deal.
Looking at these frantic players, Chu Guang suppressed his laughter.
They would know after they got it.
Sometimes shooting too fast was not a good thing.
The price of this thing was cheaper than the bolt-action iron-barreled rifle made by Boulder City, and not without reason!
Of course, even with a 10% discount, there were still only a few players who could take out 99 silver coins at once.
Of the rifles sold, at least half of them were bought by three or four players that regularly teamed up.
For a standard three-person team, one gun was actually enough.
The three people could switch to play, and the other two could use crossbows, throwing objects and other melee weapons to support the player with a gun. After everyone was familiar with the gun, it was not too late to replace the weapons of the whole team with guns.
At the beginning of the game, the conditions were a little bit tougher, so they could only save as many coins as they could.
Sooner or later everyone would have a gun!
15 revolver rifles were quickly sold out.
Under the stimulus of the promotion, not only were the broken guns previously seized from marauder sold out, but even the non-discounted Boulder City iron-barreled rifles were also sold. Now there was only one lonely 9mm gun left on the shelf.
Although the players who didn't buy a gun were a bit regretful, they were not discouraged. They had other ideas.
Some active players simply took the opportunity to sell DIY weapons.
The entrance of Proprietress Xia’s weapon shop turned into a large-scale private trading scene for a while.
"Does anyone want to buy the Engineer Happy Bat? It's super easy to use! One only costs one silver coin, if you want to buy it, you need to hurry up!"
"Seriously, how shameless you have to be to sell it for a silver coin? It's just a wire wrapped around a bat, alright? At least, tie a blade to it!"
"What do you know, this is called puncture + blunt weapon damage! If you tie a blade to it, it will be called a slashing injury!"
"Sorry, I still prefer the axe!"
"Does anyone want to buy the crossbow? It was produced by Woodworking Cabin. The original price was 20 silver. Now it only costs 15 silver. It also comes with 5 crossbow arrows. I don't need this anymore because I've changed to a gun. If you want it, please PM me ASAP!"
"Can it be cheaper? I only have 14 silver coins in my pocket."
"Sigh, fine then, I'll give you a friendly deal then."
