After they had tidied themselves up, although they still appeared a bit messy, at least they were more presentable now.
“Uncle Luo, may I ask who this, um… distinguished guest is?” One of the older players asked cautiously.
“This is Lord Zhao, and tonight, all expenses at the Cat Tail Tavern are on him.” All expenses are on him?
Both players’ expressions changed abruptly.
As frequent patrons of the tavern, they knew that reserving the entire establishment would cost at least five thousand gold coins or more, and if you added drinks and food, it would easily reach a five-digit sum.
A five-digit gold coin expenditure was enough for an average player to live lavishly for a long time.
As players, their mindset shifted quickly, and they soon realized the reason why Luo Yang had called them over, and they respectfully inquired, their faces changing.
“Hello, Lord Zhao. My name is Hou Li Xu (Monkey Gift), and his name is Hou Li Fa (Monkey Gift Hair). Those are our forum names.
May 1 ask if you have any instructions? We are willing to serve you as you wish.”
Ji Chen was speechless for a moment.
Wow, could they have chosen more peculiar names for themselves? They were truly an interesting pair…
He nodded slightly and asked slowly, “Luo Yang mentioned that you encountered a great dragon while exploring outside?”
“Not really.” Hearing this, the two of them exchanged embarrassed glances. “That was just us bragging. A top-tier creature like a dragon, if we had really encountered one, we probably wouldn’t be standing here right now; we would have been turned into ashes with a single breath.
In reality, we encountered a Marshland Dragon.”
His interest was piqued.
In this world, dragon-like creatures were easily distinguishable by their names alone.
Dragons such as the Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, and Poison Dragon, each with a dragon term in its name, were considered top-tier dragons and were commonly known as traditional dragons.
While Ocean Dragon and Desert Dragon were considered secondary-level dragons.
Following that were creatures like Marshland Dragon and Wyverns, which had a certain amount of dragon bloodline and were still formidable in strength.
Below them were various dragon-like species with minimal dragon bloodline, mostly offspring of dragons known for their promiscuity, creating new species with some dragon characteristics.
What these two players described was a Marshland Dragon, which belonged to the same tier as the Wyverns.
Ji Chen felt a bit disappointed. Lower-tier dragons had less dragon bloodline, which meant fewer Dragon Blood Crystals could be produced.
A Marshland Dragon could produce enough Dragon Blood Crystals to advance dozens of Dragon Blood Murlocs, which was still decent.
“Tell us everything you know. Mr. Zhao won’t let you down,” Luo Yang said.
Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair nodded and said, “1 remember we once took a mission from the natives to survey the terrain of a certain area. Big Boss, you don’t know, those natives were so stingy.
They made us travel so far to such a dangerous place, and can you guess how much they paid us?”
It was less than a thousand gold coins, it’s simply a rip-off!
But we had no choice. Our territories were all occupied, and we had to compromise for our livelihood, so we reluctantly took on this task.
On the way, we encountered countless gathering spots of wild creatures, and roaming bandits, and several times we almost lost our lives…”
Ji Chen’s lips twitched involuntarily.
These two fellows started well, but the more they talked, the further away they deviated from the topic, expressing the emotions they had been harboring.
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, Luo Yang’s face gradually darkened.
“Get to the point!”
“Oh? Oh, yes, I’ll get to the point.” Monkey Gift smiled awkwardly and coughed lightly. “Later, on our way back, we took a shortcut through a swamp to save time, and we saw more than twenty Marshland Dragons rolling in the mud…” “Are you saying there were more than twenty Marshland Dragons?”
“Well, yes, we only saw that many, but there might be even more in deeper areas.”
Ji Chen felt a sense of excitement. While twenty-something Marshland Dragons might not be considered many, at least it meant he could obtain a considerable number of Dragon Blood Crystals, making it worth a trip.
Seeing the change in Ji Chen’s expression, Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair suddenly thought of a possibility. Could this big shot, ahem, this great lord be planning to slay dragons?
“Mr. Zhao, are you planning to deal with those Marshland Dragons? Even the lowest-ranked ones are at Tier 5, and they’re in their home swamp. It’s incredibly difficult to defeat them.”
“That’s right, I’ve checked the information. Marshland Dragons not only have tough skin and thick flesh, but they also possess a skill called Marshland Aura, which can inflict negative buffs on enemies. It’s quite nasty.”
Ji Chen waved his hand dismissively.
“I know what I’m doing.”
This statement silenced Luo Yang, who had originally wanted to offer some advice.
In all honesty, wasn’t this just courting death?
At their current level, Tier 5 creatures posed a significant challenge for them, especially since most players were still focusing on Tier 3 units. Taking on more than twenty Tier 5 Swamp Dragons in their own territory would demand a substantial force.
Even if you have a fortune, you’re still treated equally in front of wild creatures!
This isn’t some online game where you can respawn; a single mistake can cost you your life, and people will die!
Seeing Ji Chen’s determined and resolute expression, the three of them could only sigh inwardly.
Ji Chen naturally didn’t know what they were thinking, and even if he did, he would just smile it off..
