“We took too much already. You used so much Flash Dust and scrolls just now, you must have spent a lot. Take these two Lucky Gems,” Ban Xingde Huli said. They were already very satisfied with obtaining a Dark Gold warrior armor. Two Lucky Gems were nothing to Ban Xingde Huli.

Nie Yan thought for a moment and said, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.” He accepted the two Lucky Gems. He still needed Lucky Gems to enhance his equipment’s attributes.

“Soth Mountain Valley opens tomorrow, want to go together?” Ban Xingde Huli asked Nie Yan.

Nie Yan shook his head and said, “I’m not interested in Soth Mountain Valley. Maybe later.”

“Alright then.” Since Nie Yan wasn’t willing, he couldn’t force him. He could only sigh in regret.

With the new dungeon just opening, Nie Yan didn’t want to stand out too much. Otherwise, he’d really arouse suspicion. *Could this guy be a GM? He knows the strategy for the new dungeon right after it opens!*

Nie Yan led Ban Xingde Huli and the others out of the jungle through another shortcut, returning to Nat Small Town.

Nie Yan stepped into the house of the village chief, Monda.

‘You handed the King Scorpid’s Eye you found to Ross. Ross exclaimed in surprise, ‘Oh, heavens, this is incredible! Is this really the King Scorpid’s Eye? The village chief is saved!’ Ross ground the King Scorpid’s Eye you brought into powder, fed it to the village chief, and eliminated the toxins in the village chief’s body. You have gained the respect of the residents of Nat Small Town.’

System: All members’ Respect Value with the residents of Nat Small Town +6.

System: Your team has received a Team Contribution reward of 2,200 points.

System: Holy Roman Empire guild contribution +3,300.

System: You have gained 23,000 experience points and 12 silver coins.

The rewards for Expert-level dungeons were very generous. The intelligent mainframe would evaluate each player’s performance in the task, give them a reward value. Nie Yan undoubtedly received the most rewards in the whole team. The others also received generous rewards.

Nie Yan looked at his level, 76% of level seven, and couldn't help but exclaim, *Leveling up is so fast!* His total experience had already exceeded Ban Xingde Huli’s. After Ban Xingde Huli received the quest experience reward, he was only at 62%.

With half an hour left before the game closed, Nie Yan traded two portions of Flash Dust to Ban Xingde Huli at a price of three silver coins each, and said to Ban Xingde Huli, “I’ll be going first.”

“Okay, I’ll contact you another day. By the way, besides Flash Dust, do you have any Webbing and Polymorph scrolls? Sell me a few?” Ban Xingde Huli said.

“I don’t have any right now. I’ll mail you a few when I get back, you can give me three silver coins each.”

If he were to sell them outside, Nie Yan wouldn’t set such a low price.

“Okay,” Ban Xingde Huli agreed readily. Webbing and Polymorph scrolls were very useful. Not to mention one silver coin, he would buy them even for four or five silver coins!

The harvest from this mission was not bad, especially the Random Teleport Scroll. In Nie Yan’s eyes, it was equivalent to a Chapter of Order.

Ban Xingde Huli was very puzzled. Why was Nie Yan not interested in other things, but only wanted that Random Teleport Scroll? In his opinion, this Random Teleport Scroll was really useless. But he didn’t ask.

Nie Yan’s figure disappeared at the end of the street.

“Guild Leader, he doesn’t want to join our guild?” Huang Hun asked. He had just heard Ban Xingde Huli and Nie Yan talking about this issue, but he didn’t hear the specific details.

“Yeah, I was going to give him a position as Honorary Elder. This position has the least restrictions, but he still refused. Is he嫌our temple is too small? I wonder what level this guy can reach.” Ban Xingde Huli’s gaze became profound, and he said, “Hopefully not an enemy.”

“What a pity.” Huang Hun sighed. If someone like Nie Yan stayed in their guild, the impact on their guild would be very far-reaching.

Fei Lai de Shitou was stunned for a moment listening from the side. The guild leader, Ban Xingde Huli, asked Nie Yan to be an Honorary Elder of the Holy Roman Empire, and Nie Yan actually didn’t want to. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Nie Yan. He didn’t have any great ambitions, and he felt that the Honorary Elder of the Holy Roman Empire was already very remarkable.

Qi Ye Luomu sighed inwardly. This was the ultimate of a thief. When would he be valued like Nie Yan?

Nie Yan didn’t think there was anything regrettable about this Honorary Elder position. He teleported back to Calore City, bought twenty-six portions of Flash Dust, thirteen Webbing scrolls, and thirteen Polymorph scrolls from Soso Mia, mailed a little to Ban Xingde Huli, and then walked towards the auction house.

There were quite a lot of people in the auction house. Nie Yan found a place to sit down.

“Nie Yan, it’s me, Yao Yao. Where are you now?” Yao Yao saw that her friend list showed Nie Yan was in Calore City, so she asked.

“I’m at the auction house.”

“Oh, what a coincidence, so am I… I see you, I’m here! Come over here.” Yao Yao stood up, looked around, spotted Nie Yan sitting in the corner, stood up and waved to Nie Yan.

Yao Yao wore a snow-white mage robe, like a snow lotus blooming quietly. Her sweet smile made people feel refreshed.

Such a bright and beautiful girl, it was hard not to attract attention. Seeing Yao Yao’s brilliant smile, the surrounding crowd faltered for a moment.

Seeing the strange expressions of the people around her, Yao Yao realized she was being a bit abrupt, stuck out her tongue, and quickly sat down.

Seeing Yao Yao waving to him, Nie Yan stood up from his seat and walked in the direction of Yao Yao.

When he walked to Yao Yao’s side, Nie Yan noticed that there were two other girls sitting next to Yao Yao, both only eighteen or nineteen years old. One of them was an elemental mage, who was quite pretty, wore heavy makeup, and looked a bit coquettish. Nie Yan wasn’t very fond of this type of girl. The other was a holy priest, who had delicate features, was like a girl from a decent family, gentle and lovely, and made people feel good at first glance.

Nie Yan cast a Super Appraisal. The elemental mage was called Fei Yun Liushui, and the holy priest was called Yue Er Ya.

When he sat down next to Yao Yao, Nie Yan seemed to be able to feel the jealous murderous gazes of the surrounding players, and smiled wryly. There was a term called 紅顏禍水 (hóng yán huò shuǐ, "beautiful women bring trouble"), roughly like this.

“These two next to me are my classmates, she’s called Fei Yun, she’s called Yue Er, they’re both big beauties!” Yao Yao pointed to the two girls next to her and introduced them to Nie Yan, smiling mischievously.

“Yao Yao is the big beauty.” Yue Er held Yao Yao’s hand. Her smile was very quiet and peaceful.

“Hello.” Nie Yan greeted Fei Yun Liushui and Yue Er.

“Hello.” Yue Er nodded with a smile.
