Chapter 128 A Big Deal

Hearing Nie Yan call him a friend, Rensheng Ruxi flushed with excitement, standing taller than before.

The other stall vendors looked on with envy, thinking how lucky this guy was to have befriended such a powerful figure. Why couldn't such good fortune have befallen them?

"How much money can you come up with?" Nie Yan asked, staring at the Undead Warrior.

The Undead Warrior looked a little guilty under his gaze, stammering after a long moment, "We can only scrape together 360 gold coins. Could you not sell this piece of equipment just yet? I'll go find some friends to gather more money, and I'll be right back. Can you wait here for a while?" It was clear that this Undead Warrior really wanted that piece of armor.

Nie Yan considered it and said, "360 gold coins, it's yours. Bring the money over."

"Re...really?" The Undead Warrior looked at Nie Yan in disbelief, wondering if he had misheard.

"Cash transaction," Nie Yan said, he wouldn't accept any collateral.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Big Brother, thank you! I'll get my friend to send the money over immediately." The Undead Warrior was so excited he became incoherent. An equipment worth 500 gold coins, and Nie Yan was willing to sell it to him for 360. How could he not be excited?

The people around them, including Rensheng Ruxi, stared blankly at Nie Yan. 500 gold coins and 360 gold coins, a difference of a full 140 gold coins!

The Undead Warrior was beside himself with excitement.

"Wait!" An Undead Swordsman wearing level 45 gold set armor walked over from the crowd and looked at Nie Yan. "Brother, I want this warrior armor. How about I offer 500 gold coins?"

Nie Yan glanced at the Undead Swordsman. His armor was a set, so he shouldn't need this warrior armor. He wondered why he was willing to offer 500 gold coins, perhaps he was buying it for a friend.

The Undead Warrior glared at the Undead Swordsman. He had finally negotiated a price with Nie Yan, and now someone wanted to snatch this armor right out of his hands. How could he be happy about that? He clenched his fists, but when he saw the other party's guild emblem, Fallen Angel, his anger immediately dissipated. If someone wanted to take it by force, there was nothing he could do! Especially since the other party was offering the actual price! The Undead Warrior felt dejected; it was his fault for not having enough money.

Nie Yan didn't even raise his eyelids, saying, "This armor has already been sold. You can buy something else."

"I only want this one," the Undead Swordsman said, staring at Nie Yan in a deep voice.

The Undead Swordsman was so insistent. The surrounding players began to murmur. This was clearly a case of forced buying and selling, which was uncharacteristic of Fallen Angel's style. Could it be that the player selling the equipment had a grudge against Fallen Angel, so this Undead Swordsman was deliberately trying to make trouble?

Nie Yan swept a cold glance at the Undead Swordsman, saying, "I already said, this warrior armor has been sold. I never go back on my word."

The Undead Warrior was somewhat moved. He hadn't expected that even with someone offering a higher price, Nie Yan was still willing to sell the item to him.

Keeping one's word, not many people could do that. The surrounding people looked at Nie Yan with respect in their eyes.

Rensheng Ruxi beside him also looked at Nie Yan with admiration.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

The Undead Swordsman suddenly burst out laughing. "Brother, don't mind me, I was just joking. Name a price for the rest of the stuff, I'll take it all. Let's be friends."

The Undead Swordsman's smile seemed genuine. Nie Yan could tell he wasn't there to cause trouble.

Nie Yan looked at Rensheng Ruxi beside him. "Calculate how much the rest of this equipment is worth based on market prices."

"Okay, Big Brother," Rensheng Ruxi began to calculate, adding up the prices one by one.

After a while, the Undead Warrior's friend arrived with the money, and they completed the transaction with Nie Yan.

"Big Brother, thank you for selling me this armor. Let's add each other as friends, and if you need any help in the future, just let me know," the Undead Warrior said sincerely, greatly admiring Nie Yan's character.

"Adding friends isn't necessary. What's your name? I'll look for you if I need anything in the future," Nie Yan said. In this dark underground world, it was definitely beneficial to know more players.

"My name is Mo Shang Man Bu," the Undead Warrior introduced himself.

Nie Yan nodded. "I'll remember you." (Mo Shang Man Bu = Wandering on the Path)

Mo Shang Man Bu looked at Rensheng Ruxi beside him. "Brother, I'm sorry for earlier. I'm just an impulsive person, don't take it to heart."

Rensheng Ruxi smiled and said, "It's nothing, a small matter."

Mo Shang Man Bu bought the equipment he wanted and left excitedly, adding Rensheng Ruxi as a friend before he left.

Rensheng Ruxi calculated for Nie Yan, and the remaining equipment was worth about 3,900 gold coins.

"Give me 3,500," Nie Yan said, looking at the Undead Swordsman. Rensheng Ruxi would inevitably calculate a bit extra for him, so asking for 3,500 gold coins shouldn't be too much since the equipment stats were quite good.

"Okay, deal," the Undead Swordsman agreed readily without haggling, confirming the transaction with Nie Yan.

Nie Yan looked at his backpack. Selling this equipment was more or less a profitable venture.

After buying all of Nie Yan's equipment, the Undead Swordsman extended his hand with a smile. "Let's be friends, my name is Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang, what should I call you, brother?"

Nie Yan carefully examined Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang wore a level 45 dark set of armor, so his strength should be quite good. He was probably around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with a natural air of arrogance.

The Undead Swordsman class was similar to a Berserker, specializing in PK. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang seemed to be doing quite well, on par with Wu Feng, Hei Bai, and others.

Nie Yan reached out and shook hands with Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang, preparing to make up a name at random.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, I know who you are, no need to introduce yourself."

Hearing Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang's words, Nie Yan's heart tightened, his eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent flashed across his face, but he remained calm. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang knew his identity, so why hadn't he exposed him? How did Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang know his identity? Nie Yan thought for a moment, it must have been some of the equipment he sold that gave him away.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang had taken the initiative to approach him, but hadn't taken any action, so what was his intention?

Nie Yan remained vigilant, ready to use a random teleport scroll to escape if anything went wrong.

"Some of the equipment you sold came from my brothers. That warrior armor from earlier too! But since I've bought them all, I don't have any malicious intent towards you. Our Guild Leader wants to meet you," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said, looking at Nie Yan. He guessed that Nie Yan might have used some skill to sneak in. As a Lawful Good player, being able to disguise himself as a Chaotic Evil player and enter a Chaotic Evil settlement required not only special skills but also a certain amount of courage. He actually admired Nie Yan a bit. If it were him, he might not dare to sneak into a Lawful Good village.

"Fallen Angel's Guild Leader?" Nie Yan pondered for a moment. They had come looking for him, so what was their purpose?

"Although Fallen Angel and your Nirvana Guild belong to two different factions, we don't have any conflicting interests. If we can cooperate, it would be greatly beneficial to both sides," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said. Precisely because they belonged to different factions, unless the two factions were in full-scale war, they shouldn't be direct enemies. In that case, there was a possibility of cooperation between the two.

Logically speaking, players from opposing factions couldn't cooperate, but since Nie Yan could sneak in, that was another matter.

"Where is your Guild Leader?" Nie Yan asked. The other party was able to find him in the sea of people, so their abilities were not small. He had some expectations for future cooperation.

"Please remember, we don't know you," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said, emphasizing this point to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan nodded, understanding what Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang meant. If he revealed his name to Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang and the others, if something happened to Nie Yan in the Chaotic Evil faction one day, that would be a big problem, and Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang would be implicated. In order to ensure his own safety, Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang had to pretend not to know Nie Yan. This was a form of self-preservation. Their cooperation could only be done in secret, and it had to be very secretive.

"Hello, my name is Lie Huo," Nie Yan said, extending his hand to shake Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang's, using a fake name. As for who he really was, it was enough for Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang to know. (Lie Huo = Raging Fire)

Dealing with smart people was enjoyable. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang smiled knowingly and said to Nie Yan, "Come with me, our Guild Leader is already waiting for you."

Nie Yan glanced at Rensheng Ruxi beside him. Rensheng Ruxi stood up nervously. Both Nie Yan and Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang were big shots, rarely seen in ordinary times. Rensheng Ruxi had just recognized Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang was the Vice Guild Leader of Fallen Angel!

"Rensheng Ruxi."

"Big Brother, just tell me what you need."

Nie Yan traded Rensheng Ruxi 100 gold coins, saying, "You helped me complete a big deal, this is your reward. Thank you for today."

"How can I accept this?" Rensheng Ruxi quickly declined. Although all of his assets added together weren't even worth 100 gold coins, he couldn't accept Nie Yan's gift for nothing.

"Don't be so wishy-washy, just take it. I'll look for you again when I need help in the future," Nie Yan said, smiling and patting Rensheng Ruxi on the shoulder. He could tell that Rensheng Ruxi was quite honest and trustworthy.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang smiled at Rensheng Ruxi and said, "Just accept it, 100 gold coins is nothing to us."

Rensheng Ruxi couldn't refuse, so he accepted and received the 100 gold coins, saying gratefully, "If you ever need anything in the future, Big Brother, just message me, and I will do anything!"

"No need to go through fire and water," Nie Yan said with a smile, turning to Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang. "Let's go."

"Okay, come with me," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said, leading Nie Yan into the distance.

Rensheng Ruxi watched Nie Yan's back disappear into the distance, packed up his stall. Now that he had money, he would first level up a few times and get some equipment. Otherwise, if Nie Yan looked for him for help next time, he would be too weak to be useful.
