CHAPTER 187: CHAPTER 168: DISCUSSION (PART 2)

Zhou Yingting furrowed his brows upon hearing this, "I think, given my Combat Power, asking for four entries isn’t unreasonable. You must know, if your instance can’t complete the task, you’ll be trapped inside forever."

"For me, the risk is too high. If you don’t agree, you can invite others into this instance. Judging by the number of people here, you should have enough choice."

Zhou Yingting’s tone was firm, believing that anything less than this price wasn’t worth the risk.

Xiao Yuzhu listened to Zhou Yingting’s words and saw the seriousness in his expression, and she sighed helplessly.

She knew she wasn’t mistaken, Zhou Yingting was dead set on four entries.

So trying to negotiate the price lower now was impossible.

Luckily, she had just convinced the others, and they were willing to offer Zhou Yingting this price, otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

With this in mind, Xiao Yuzhu looked up at Zhou Yingting in front of her and nodded.

"Alright, let’s settle on these terms, four Jing Hong Entries."

Xiao Yuzhu gritted her teeth and spoke to Zhou Yingting.

Having confirmed that the price couldn’t be lowered, Xiao Yuzhu could only agree.

Zhou Yingting had been about to leave, but stopped abruptly when he heard Xiao Yuzhu’s words, looking surprised at her.

Did she really agree?

Zhou Yingting’s face showed a trace of surprise.

He actually thought that asking for four entries would be too much and that the other party would surely decline.

After all, if it were Zhou Yingting, he wouldn’t agree to such terms either.

Asking for four entries was indeed excessive.

Yet unexpectedly, she agreed. Did she really have such determination?

"What, do you think it’s not enough?"

Xiao Yuzhu had agreed to Zhou Yingting’s price, but when she saw him looking at her in surprise, she was taken aback.

Surely Zhou Yingting couldn’t think it’s still not enough?

Or did he see her agree so quickly and intend to raise the price?

Neither option was something she wanted to see.

Listening to Xiao Yuzhu, Zhou Yingting shook his head, "I just didn’t expect you would agree."

"From what you’re saying, do you think you’re not worth this price?"

Hearing Zhou Yingting say this, Xiao Yuzhu furrowed her brows.

If Zhou Yingting thought that, she’d be at a big loss.

"Not really, it’s just my asking price is really high. Normally, others are unlikely to agree. Your agreement shows impressive resolve."

Hearing Zhou Yingting, Xiao Yuzhu sighed.

Her resolve wasn’t that strong, it was because she saw part of Zhou Yingting’s profile and considered her situation.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be willing to offer four entries to get Zhou Yingting to join her team.

Thinking of this, she sighed slightly, then changed her expression as she spoke to Zhou Yingting, "I hope you put in a lot of effort next, to be worthy of these four entries."

Zhou Yingting nodded, "Since I’ve taken your entries, I’ll definitely be dedicated in the instance task."

"But, what exactly is this instance task of yours?"

Until now, Zhou Yingting knew nothing about the task in their instance.

Xiao Yuzhu glanced to the side, then said to Zhou Yingting, "Let’s discuss it when we reach the meeting place, the others should be almost ready."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting did not refuse, and he followed her after nodding.

The two left the arena and walked into the distance.

After leaving the arena, Zhou Yingting saw several cars parked outside, and some of the people who agreed to enter the instance were among them.

Seeing these cars, Zhou Yingting turned to Xiao Yuzhu and asked, "Can’t we enter the instance here? Where do we have to go?"

"We need to change locations, don’t worry, it’s very close. The main reason is that we have some resources there, which are necessary to bring into the instance."

Xiao Yuzhu explained and then invited everyone to get in the cars.

Zhou Yingting was placed in a separate car.

Initially, Zhou Yingting wondered why he was in a separate small car, but once inside, Xiao Yuzhu handed him the entries he needed, and then he understood why.

It seemed Xiao Yuzhu was concerned that if others saw him receiving four entries...

If others saw him getting these four entries as a reward, a lot of people might feel unbalanced and demand a price increase.

Holding the entries she handed him, Zhou Yingting checked his Attributes and prepared to learn the entries immediately.

But at this moment, Xiao Yuzhu handed him the Scroll, indicating he should leave his name.

By leaving his name, when the Scroll was used, Zhou Yingting would be automatically pulled into the instance.

As for not mentioning the task of helping the others in the instance...

It’s mainly because there is no need to mention it. After entering the instance, only by completing the task can they leave.

If they don’t help, not only her club members will be trapped inside.

Looking at the Scroll handed to him, Zhou Yingting wrote his name on it.

Unfortunately, the Escape Scroll was used in the previous instance; otherwise, it could have been a safeguard in this one.

Even if the task couldn’t be completed, he could have exited the instance safely.

However, instances are inherently risky, just that this one’s danger is somewhat unknown.

The car drove for more than half an hour before coming to a slow stop. As Zhou Yingting got out and looked around, he found himself in the outskirts.

Nearby was an abandoned factory building.

After everyone got out of the car, they headed toward the factory, and once inside, they found many people already waiting.

Seeing Zhou Yingting and the others arrive, those inside gestured for them to come closer.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting and the others approached, and upon reaching them, they saw an arrangement of firearms on the ground.

They were momentarily stunned, obviously not expecting to see so many weapons here.

But everyone knew that, with their status, playing with these wasn’t illegal, so apart from the initial shock, their expressions returned to calm.

"This time, entering the instance might involve a big fight. Look and take whichever weapons you like."

A man covered in ammunition glanced at Zhou Yingting and the others, saying this directly.

Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, standing in place, looking a bit hesitant.

"I know some of you have great Combat Power, quite formidable, but do you have much Spiritual Power? Is your stamina good enough to sustain prolonged combat?"

"If you don’t pick out some weapons, once inside the instance, you might run out of Spiritual Power and stamina, unable to fight or run."

"At that point, there might be no one with time to save you."

The man speaking was very serious, continuing to pick weapons in front of him.

The weapons before him were about to become an armory.

Hearing this, after looking at the weapons in front of them, they hurriedly stepped forward to choose.

Since it was said like this, they agreed it made a lot of sense and promptly began selecting.

Hearing this, Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and stepped forward to examine the offerings.

It wouldn’t hurt to carry some of these.

If there’s going to be continuous combat, these firearms might come in handy.
