From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS - Chapter 68

68 A thousand taels

one, one thousand taels!?

Liu Qinghong almost choked on his words.

A thousand taels!

This wasn’t just a thousand copper coins.

!!
Moreover, not every player could afford 1000 copper coins.

Not to mention a thousand taels.

Liu Qinghong asked again with uncertainty, wanting to confirm if he had heard wrongly, “”Daoist priest, I’ve already promised to help you find the innate spirit item. What is this one thousand taels for?”

“What do you think of me?”

“Well, Daoist priest is a master beyond the world.”

“Then I don’t look like a fool, do I?” Qing Xuan pointed at himself and sneered, “”Did I really believe you when you promised to help me find the innate spirit item?”

“If you break your promise after this, I can’t recover my loss even if I cut you into a thousand pieces.”

“So, I’ll give you a thousand taels of silver as a deposit.”

“As long as the money is in place, everything can be discussed. Otherwise, hehe!”

Qing Xuan chuckled at the end of his sentence, his tone full of mockery.

The meaning was obvious.

Don’t even think about getting something for nothing.

Liu Qinghong’s mouth opened, but he was speechless.

Indeed.

Just like what Qing Xuan had said, it was not impossible for him to stand the other party up and run away. After all, no player would stay in the novice village forever.

More importantly …

In the depths of Liu Qinghong’s heart, he really did have such a plan.

Anyway, his initial goal was to find a way to trick Daoist Qing Xuan into making a move.

As for the other party’s conditions.

He would agree to everything he could, and he would force himself to agree to whatever he couldn’t.

As long as it wasn’t immediate, then it wouldn’t be a big problem.

However-

Daoist Qing Xuan had obviously seen through his plan and immediately blocked his way.

One thousand taels of silver!

This was not a small number.

Someone had once compared the prices in the game with the prices in reality.

One thousand taels of silver was roughly equivalent to one million in the real world.

Moreover, there was a price but no market for it.

Because it was only the early stages of the game, the players ‘purchasing power was mostly in copper.

It involved silver.

They were all rich people in the game.

It was also because of this that those who could take out a tael of silver to read their fortune were all rich people in the eyes of other players.

He hesitated for a moment.

Liu Qinghong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, ” alright, as long as you can help me deal with the Liangshan stronghold chieftain, I’ll pay for the one thousand taels of silver.

“Liu shaoxia, you’re so bold!”

Daoist Qing Xuan smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

“I’ll give you half a day. Wait for me here.”

“Have a safe journey, and come back early.”

Daoist Qing Xuan shouted enthusiastically as he watched Liu Qinghong leave.

When Liu Qinghong was completely out of sight.

Daoist Qing Xuan stroked his beard and shook his head.

one thousand taels, these Outlanders are quite rich, tsk tsk!

On the other side.

After Liu Qinghong returned, he immediately went to find Fu Moyan and the others and told them about Daoist Qing Xuan’s conditions.

As for the prerequisite of one thousand taels of silver …

Fu Moyan and the others were also shocked.

However, he had to do something.

He was only surprised.

To them, a thousand silver taels was not a small price, but it was not impossible to obtain it.

Moreover, not all of them would be able to take the money.

If they were to split it evenly, it would be around 100 to 200 taels per person.

If that was the case, there would be no problem.

Money can make the devil turn millstones.

As long as one was willing to invest, one thousand taels of silver would not even take half a day to gather.

—

In a wild plain.

The mountain bandits of the Liangshan stronghold gathered.

“Master!” Niu Feng and the others looked at Qin shujian, who was in front of them. Their expressions were extremely respectful.

Qin shujian turned around and looked.

There were about 500 mountain bandits of the Liangshan stronghold, but there were only about 100 of them left. The rest of them had died in the battle with the players and had not respawned.

As for the mountain bandits who were standing there …

Even the lowest level was martial entry-level three.

Even the number of martial entry-level four and martial entry-level five chieftains had increased by a lot.

Even to the extent that …

There were two more people at martial entry-level six.

These two people.

It was not Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming, but Zhang Tieniu and Wang tiezhu.

This was because both of them had received cultivation techniques after martial entry-level five. Although Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming were already at the peak of martial entry-level five, the subsequent cultivation techniques had limited their progress.

Qin shujian had taught them the first eight levels of the bodyforge manual.

However, it would take some time for the two of them to completely transform it. It would not be replaced so soon.

Three martial entry-level six powerhouses with strong vitality.

Seven of them were at martial entry-level five.

There were 23 martial entry-level four.

The rest of them were all at martial entry-level three.

This kind of strength had allowed the Liangshan stronghold to reach an unprecedented peak.

Even if he used one-twentieth of his power, he could easily drown the former Liangshan stronghold.

“The appearance of the players is a crisis, but it is also a rare opportunity.”

in the past, before the players arrived, these NPCs had to train for years or even decades to reach their current level.

but with the arrival of the players, all of this became easy.

Qin shujian looked at the people in front of him, and a sentence appeared in his mind.

Fortune is where misfortune lies, and misfortune is where fortune lies.

The appearance of players had brought a lot of changes to this world.

However, at the same time, it also brought great opportunities to these NPCs.

As the Liangshan stronghold chieftain, these NPCs were tightly bound to him.

As long as he was still around, these NPCs would not die when facing players.

However, if he were to die, there was a high chance that these NPCs would die as well.

This way …

From a certain perspective, they could be considered to have lived and died together.

But he didn’t care.

He had put in a lot of effort for the Liangshan stronghold to grow from a small stronghold to its current state.

He had never thought that one day, he would be able to decide life and death with a single word.

In just an instant.

Qin shujian’s heart was filled with a heroic aura.

“Come with me and trample the Inhumans!”

“Trample the Inhumans!”

“Trample the Inhumans!”

Instantly, the mountain bandits shouted in unison.

“Let’s go!”

Qin shujian turned around and exerted force between his legs. A small part of the ground instantly caved in. His body shot up like a graceful swan and flew straight into the distance.

Behind him.

More than 100 mountain bandits took a step forward. Just like Qin shujian, they exerted strength in their legs and dashed into the distance.

Most of these mountain bandits were ordinary mountain bandits from the Liangshan stronghold.

However, if they were to go out alone, they would still be true-blue martial entry-level three experts.

With his full speed, he was not much slower than a fast horse for a short time. As for his aura, he was even better.

Now that over a hundred people were running with all their might, the commotion was even greater.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
