Starlight City East, Level 19 Wild Zone, Death Cave.

Outside a massive, pitch-black cave that looked like a giant bloodthirsty mouth, a group of players had gathered.

These players were roughly divided into two factions.

On the left, IDs were prefixed with [God Slayer];

On the right, IDs were prefixed with [Tianxuan]!

Each side had over a dozen players, led respectively by the Level 19 Assassin [God Slayer, Moon] and the Level 13 Mage [Qing Yan].

The players on both sides were at each other's throats, the tension in the air was palpable.

Caught between these two groups was a lavishly dressed, wealthy-looking fat man, ID [Niu Dehua], a Level 16 Priest.

The scene was at a stalemate.

Niu Dehua, stuck in the middle, was impatient: "Come on, say something, can you fight or not! Give me a solution!"

"Did I pay you to come here for a cockfight?"

As soon as Niu Dehua finished speaking.

God Slayer, Moon and Qing Yan both glanced at Niu Dehua and said in unison, "Shut up!"

After that, the two continued to glare at each other, their eyes filled with a desire to tear each other apart.

Niu Dehua didn't dare to say another word, fearing that one more sentence would get him killed by the fiery looks from the two women.

At this moment, God Slayer, Moon finally couldn't hold back and broke the deadlock.

Crossing her arms, she taunted Qing Yan, "If you Tianxuan can't handle it, just back off early! Don't waste time here, let us God Slayer handle it."

Qing Yan put her hands on her hips and snorted, "It's not even been an hour, what's the rush?"

"Fine," God Slayer, Moon checked the time and smiled calmly, "Then let's wait and see what tricks you can pull!"

As they spoke.

A figure approached from the darkness.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, both God Slayer, Moon and Qing Yan couldn't help but feel a wave of joy.

Lu Ming glanced at God Slayer, Moon, then walked over to Tianxuan's side and asked Qing Yan, "What's the situation?"

Qing Yan explained, "We took a task to help him kill a BOSS, but the map where the BOSS is hiding has restrictions. Players over Level 19 can't enter, and in a team, only five people can enter."

Qing Yan lowered her voice, a bit embarrassed, "We've tried twice and failed, mainly because my level is too low... I had no choice but to trouble you..."

"The key is that the God Slayer people are here too, so we have to succeed in this task! Otherwise, if God Slayer catches us this time, they'll definitely exaggerate and post online saying we're useless, tarnishing Tianxuan's reputation."

Lu Ming knew that a team was essentially equivalent to a large-scale studio.

Their purpose was to help other solo players with high-difficulty tasks, kill monsters they couldn't handle, take them through dungeons, and earn commissions from it.

So, Lu Ming immediately said to the employer [Niu Dehua], "Form a team, take me in."

Niu Dehua looked Lu Ming up and down, full of doubt: "You're a Level 15 Trickster, a sewer class at that, and you're even lower level than me..."

"Inside is a Bronze-level BOSS, how can you, a support, help me kill it?"

As soon as Niu Dehua finished speaking.

Before Lu Ming could respond, Qing Yan immediately stood up, fully confident in Lu Ming, and guaranteed to Niu Dehua, "If he can't help you defeat the BOSS, Tianxuan will refund your commission tenfold!"

This statement drew ridicule from the God Slayer players on the opposing side.

"After waiting so long, I thought they'd bring in some big shot, but it's just this?"

"Where do they get the confidence that a Level 15 Trickster can kill a Level 19 Bronze BOSS?"

"Looks like Tianxuan really can't cut it anymore."

As the God Slayer players, who were clearly seeing Lu Ming for the first time, sneered, God Slayer, Moon suddenly turned and swept them with a cold glance.

"Shut up, all of you!"

The God Slayer players instantly fell silent.

Then, God Slayer, Moon said to Lu Ming, "Nether, let's make a deal."

"As long as you don't interfere tonight, whether Tianxuan can solve this or not, I'll give you a million!"

The God Slayer players were stunned.

"Why does the lady trust that Trickster so much?"

"Yeah! Spending a million to stop him from acting? Damn! Can that guy really kill a Level 19 Bronze BOSS?"

God Slayer, Moon crossed her arms, her fingers tapping her shoulder, watching Lu Ming intently, her cold eyes showing absolute confidence.

It seemed she was certain Lu Ming couldn't refuse her offer.

Meanwhile, the Tianxuan players were shocked.

"That crazy woman must be insane!"

"A million? Damn, the commission for this task is only fifty thousand! What's she trying to do?"

Tianxuan·Eternal, standing beside Qing Yan, stared at God Slayer, Moon with burning eyes.

He understood that the other side was trying to poach.

"Do you think only you God Slayer have money?"

Tianxuan·Eternal was about to step forward, planning to outbid God Slayer, Moon by offering Lu Ming two million!

After all, he knew how strong Lu Ming's potential was.

Any top player with a five-star rating would be offered a salary of at least a million a month by major teams.

And once such potential players were exposed, they'd be immediately poached by the top three domestic teams, leaving other teams with no chance.

So, as long as they could keep Lu Ming in Tianxuan, two million was nothing, and Tianxuan·Eternal wouldn't hesitate for a second!

However, at this moment, he was stopped by his sister Qing Yan.

Just as he was puzzled why his sister stopped him.

He saw Lu Ming had already applied to join Niu Dehua's team and then followed him into the Death Cave.

Niu Dehua certainly didn't truly believe Lu Ming could help him kill the BOSS.

Someone who could spend fifty thousand to hire someone to kill a BOSS wouldn't be short on money.

But what Niu Dehua thought was: later, when he gets the tenfold compensation of fifty thousand, he could easily take ten thousand and hire someone from a top-three domestic team to help him kill the BOSS.

This way, not only would he get a free BOSS, but he'd also make a profit of forty thousand!

Why not?

Meanwhile, God Slayer, Moon, who was directly ignored by Lu Ming, had her previously confident expression turn sour.

She didn't understand.

"I offered him ten times the price for his Soul Stone before, and he seemed so money-hungry! How could he not be interested in this easy million?"

"Why is that?"

As God Slayer, Moon pondered where the problem lay.

Qing Yan smiled at her and said, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?"

"Don't get too happy yet!" God Slayer, Moon said angrily, "That's a Bronze-level BOSS, Nether might not be able to kill it alone!"

As soon as God Slayer, Moon finished speaking.

Boom boom boom~

Accompanied by a tremor, a wail echoed from the Death Cave.

The next moment, a map announcement sounded.

[Ding~ Death Cave map BOSS Death Ruler · Vilia has been slain!]
