Chapter 622: Proactive Price Increase

…

The base is already under construction, twenty thousand people are working overtime, and we've also pulled in some subordinates to assist; in total forty thousand people are giving their all.

It should be possible to finish the base by tomorrow, and the day after we can start the monster siege.

In fact, it didn't catch Su Sheng off guard.

Less than half an hour after logging in that day, Shen Wang's message arrived.

After reading Shen Wang's message, Su Sheng couldn't help but smack his lips.

No wonder the old big brother is still impressive; by this calculation, the gold value of the top‑ranked guild among the top ten is still rising.

Back then, building a base on our side, plus Hidden Dragon, only had about 14,000 manpower; we dragged our feet and it took a long time before we finally completed the base.

Although… it was also because we were building a town, mainly the Life Divine Stone got stuck for a long time.

Look at the Universe; once a Tier‑3 guild shows up, the manpower instantly fills up.

Besides that, there are other subordinates helping out.

A base can be finished in two days.

That's the difference.

"Got it. We'll start gathering manpower and set out tomorrow night," Su Sheng replied.

"Thanks for the effort."

"No problem."

After ending the Private Chat, Su Sheng opened another Private Chat.

"How's it going? Any news on Kong Lang?"

"Nothing yet; we're looking for several level‑70 ones," Chen Guan replied.

"Alright, notify them; we'll set out to the base over at the Universe tomorrow night."

"Huh? That fast? The Universe side already finished?" Chen Guan was a bit surprised.

"Pretty much; after all, they were once the top guild, so their speed is naturally quick."

"Got it, I understand."

After that, Chen Guan went silent.

Su Sheng, feeling a bit down, closed the Private Chat.

Su Sheng told Chen Guan to quickly arrange some manpower to find an Elite Boss above level 55, preferably around 56–57.

There's no choice; the new skill trial requires soloing a higher‑level Elite Boss on one's own.

I'm currently level 55; soloing an Elite Boss that's higher than my level means I have to pick the target carefully.

After all, few Elite Bosses are easy, and their levels are so high.

As for what Chen Guan just mentioned, there are many level‑70 Bosses.

Su Sheng's brain isn't being foolish.

Su Sheng has no ability to solo Elite Bosses around level 70, even though his stats are abnormal and his Lion Knight class is a hexagonal warrior.

But being a hexagonal warrior isn't a cheat.

Previously, the level‑70 bosses we fought for the Life Divine Stone almost required the entire Yan Huang Base to mobilize.

Su Sheng estimates that at this stage, soloing a boss gives him a chance only against Elite Bosses below level 60.

Bosses above level 60 are basically out of consideration unless the situation is special.

Current‑stage players generally don't let any chance slip when dealing with bosses of this level, because everyone's power is right at this tier.

Moreover, the gear dropped by such bosses matches the mainstream level of current players.

Finding a suitable boss isn't easy.

Hopefully we can find one today; there will definitely be a big battle tomorrow, and if I can, this skill will be another Bottom Card.

After that, Su Sheng went out alone to grind monsters.

Along the way, many players excitedly greeted Su Sheng.

In "Zhu Lu", Su Sheng is undoubtedly the biggest‑card "star".

Su Sheng occasionally nods in response; after all, everyone who arrives at the Yan Huang Base now is his "wealth deity".

What's wrong with being polite to the "wealth deity"?

…

…

"A‑Sheng, Yun Duo added you; please accept."

Just as Su Sheng was leisurely grinding monsters, Huan Jie's Private Chat came through.

Seeing the message, Su Sheng was a bit surprised, but recalling the news Huan Jie mentioned this morning, he opened the friends list, scrolled through applications for a while, and finally found a friend request from Yun Duo.

After all, far too many people have sent friend requests to Su Sheng.

So Su Sheng has blocked them all.

"Hello, Chairman Mo Wen."

The moment the friend request was approved, a Private Chat from Yun Duo came through.

"Hello."

Su Sheng politely replied to the message.

"Deputy President Rose, I think I mentioned it to you, right?"

"You gave a rough outline; is the Dungeon difficulty high?"

"Indeed it's not low... we've already wiped out twice, and only one chance remains."

Left with no choice, I thought of seeking external aid.

"Hmm… Is time urgent? I probably won't have time today, tomorrow, or the day after; how about the day after that?" Su Sheng was mainly worried that the dungeon would take too much time.

Moreover, this is already the last chance for the dungeon; when the time comes, the monster siege of the Universe's garrison will begin, and if I can't get out of it, it'll be troublesome.

"It's fine, there's no time limit." Yi Mo Yun Duo replied.

"How is the remuneration calculated?" Su Sheng asked directly; there's nothing embarrassing about it—even close brothers settle accounts clearly. Moreover, my history with Yun Duo is second only to running into the Fallen Elf camp outside last time, and also cooperating during the Battle for the Cauldron.

"Apart from a core quest item, we don't want anything else; all loot can be given to you." Yi Mo Yun Duo replied cleanly.

"Oh?" Su Sheng was somewhat surprised, and couldn't help but think of Li Xiao's quest from last time.

"Hidden Class?" Su Sheng tried asking.

No reply came from the other side for a long while.

Seeing this, Su Sheng already had a rough answer in mind.

Yi Mo Yun Duo looked at the message, feeling gloomy.

Mo Wen, Qian Chen!

As expected of the game's top player, he immediately guessed the key point.

It's not that Yi Mo Yun Duo intentionally hid something.

Mainly, I was also afraid that Mo Wen and Qian Chen would raise the price.

After all, for a hidden class quest, the price of external aid is merely the dungeon's entire loot, which still isn't enough.

If it were a regular dungeon quest, needing only a quest item, handing over the rest of the loot to external aid would be fine.

But once you factor in the hidden class, it's not that price.

But this hidden class couldn't just be abandoned for nothing.

After all, Yi Mo Yun Duo herself is a hidden class, and knows very well how strong hidden classes are.

For the Yun Duo Guild, having an additional hidden class goes without saying.

"Um… we can consider raising the price." Yi Mo Yun Duo's message came after a while.

Su Sheng smiled faintly, as expected.

Although Yi Mo Yun Duo didn't give a direct answer, proactively suggesting a price increase naturally already gave the answer.

Su Sheng, meanwhile, pondered for a moment.

What kind of "price" would be best to collect?

If it were something like the Universe, Su Sheng would naturally speak up.

But Yun Duo…
