Chapter 67: Team Nightmare Dungeon Clue (Please Follow!)
About thirty minutes later.
Wu Wang's forehead veins bulged.
The virtual boss was drenched in sweat.
"Bro, hold on a sec, we're haggling, aren't we? Aren't you here to haggle?"
Finally, the virtual boss couldn't hold it together anymore.
The other party hadn't said a single word about haggling from start to finish; it was purely personal attacks, and the richness of the vocabulary nearly made his CPU burn out.
An adult's breakdown starts with "forget it."
A computer's breakdown starts when it can't calculate the result.
"Oh, isn't the rule that I have to win the argument before we can haggle? Let's continue, where were we?" Wu Wang frowned, recalling, "It should be about whether your virtual diode gets hard and hot from interacting with your 2D wife."
"Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to argue with you, a level 6 trash anymore. Goodbye! Oh no... never see you again!"
The virtual boss's face turned black as he vanished into thin air, leaving only a bewildered Wu Wang behind.
So the myth of your unbeatable haggling is just because you run away when you can't win the argument!
So what if I'm level 6? You look down on levels, huh! Let me show you something thick and big!
Wu Wang directly clicked 【Switch Account】.
【Yan Shuangying #00000】
【Player Level:???】
Wu Wang had noticed this from the very beginning.
This account created by Abyss God shared most functions like the daily shop with his own account, and its level wouldn't provide attribute points; basically, aside from looking mysterious, it served no purpose.
This was also why he called the other party a Parasite Beast.
It might also be due to the account being newly created; he estimated that when the Abyss God Mark fuses and evolves next time, this account will become even more independent.
But regardless, this level with three question marks was still quite intimidating!
Daily Shop — 【Haggle】!
The virtual boss's figure appeared again.
He was preparing to see which unlucky bastard dared to haggle while he was furious; this time, he would definitely vent all the frustration he had held back!
But unexpectedly, the surrounding environment became increasingly familiar.
Even the boy in front of him with a wicked smile was extremely familiar.
"Damn! How the fuck is it you again? I'm not dealing with a level 6 scum..."
Before the words finished, the virtual boss froze.
He discovered the other party's level was no longer 6.
It was three question marks that even he couldn't decipher, and they were eerily wrapped in a streak of red.
"What the hell is this... thing?"
The virtual boss reached out and poked the level displayed next to the player ID, which only he could see.
He knew he was virtual and couldn't make physical contact.
He was just curious.
But the next second, the account ID and the eerie red wrapping the panel actually started to flow!
With a speed that left no time to cover one's ears, it spread along the intangible virtual projection onto the boss's hand, and his originally pale blue electronic virtual image instantly turned a garish, demonic red.
Just like a computer virus.
A red tentacle, also a virtual image, crawled out from the ground; with a thickness like a water bucket, its length was fully several meters!
The virtual boss was instantly bound up.
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"
The boss was completely paralyzed, almost losing the ability to speak and only able to frantically say "holy shit."
Wu Wang also froze.
Abyss God, aren't you going too far?
Directly sticking tentacles into the screen to bind a 2D character is a bit weird!
What kind of strange bondage play is this?
At least switch to a woman! Binding this big bald head is a bit hard on the eyes!
Thinking this, he also tried to reach out his hand.
Click—
Wu Wang's hand rested on the virtual boss's shoulder.
With the ID 【Yan Shuangying】, he could actually touch the virtual boss!
The next second, he smiled.
He patted the virtual boss's shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "You offended the abbot and still want to leave? Now I give you two choices: either the goods are discounted, or I break your bones. That's fair, right? Choose quickly."
As soon as the words fell, the tentacles suddenly tightened.
The virtual boss felt his waist was about to snap.
He hurriedly patted the tentacles, gasping for breath, and shouted, "Hit! Hit! Hit! I'll give you the highest discount! Make this thing let me go quickly!"
【3000】 — 【1500】
The price beneath the sword sheath equipment instantly halved; Wu Wang's expression became even friendlier, but he still didn't let go.
He just smiled at the virtual boss like that.
The other party was about to break down.
Gasping for air and speaking intermittently, he cursed, "This really is... the maximum discount... if it goes any lower, I'll get fired... really..."
How could anyone hit a person through an electronic screen?! Is there any justice left in this world?!
Watching him, he really was about to give out.
There really should be no room left to drop.
Only then did Wu Wang click 【Switch Account】.
In an instant, the eerie red and tentacles throughout the entire room vanished.
The virtual boss dropped to his knees with a thud.
His whole face was flushed the color of pork liver.
Taking advantage of the fact that this guy hadn't gone back on his word yet, Wu Wang quickly clicked the 【Purchase】 option.
The Calamity Coins in his backpack instantly dropped to 500.
At the same time, a strangely shaped, slightly broad sword sheath quietly appeared in his backpack.
Paid in full!
"You f*cking… I'm gonna…"
The virtual boss was just about to talk tough when he saw Wu Wang, expressionless, switch his ID from 【Wei Wang Ren】 to 【Yan Shuangying】.
It scared him so badly that his flushed face instantly went deathly pale.
He vanished on the spot out of thin air, returning to the daily shop panel of the Spirit Disaster game.
He never wanted to see this guy again.
Beep beep beep—
Before Wu Wang could even take the sword sheath out to test its effects, the friends list started flashing with beeps.
And it wasn't just one message.
On the 【Wei Wang Ren】 account side, Chen Baili Dao was looking for him; on the 【Yan Shuangying】 account side, Old Xiezhi was also looking for him.
First, he opened Chen Baili Dao's message—
The other party seemed a bit excited as he said: "Holy sh*t! Brother Wang! You f*cking are a god! You actually haggled successfully at the daily shop?!"
"Huh? How did you know?"
Wu Wang was dumbfounded.
How did Chen Baili Dao over there already know, right after he finished interacting with the virtual boss?
Did you plant a monitor on me or something?
The next second, Chen Baili Dao opened his personal panel's daily shop section and sent it to the friends list for Wu Wang to view.
At the most conspicuous spot, in bold Hua Wen Song typeface only slightly smaller than the four characters 【Daily Shop】, two sentences were displayed as an announcement—
【Congratulations to player Wei Wang Ren#9527 for successfully haggling! Becoming this shop's first King of Mouth!】
【This achievement grants the player a permanent 10% discount on all purchases!】
The reason 【Yan Shuangying】's ID wasn't displayed was because the purchase was made using the 【Wei Wang Ren】 account, so by default it was the latter who successfully haggled.
"Bro, that's f*cking awesome! The forums on the APP have blown up, everyone wants to know how you did it! This is absolutely unprecedented!" Chen Baili Dao said excitedly.
There was no other reason, just because he had also tried haggling before.
And then he was shamed on the daily shop's notification bar for a full 24 hours.
For a whole month after that, colleagues at his workplace laughed whenever they saw him, and today Brother Wang had actually avenged that humiliation!
Holy sh*t! That feels so damn good!
"Oh, you just have to out-talk him, it's really simple. You guys can't possibly not do it, right? Then it must be your problem, not mine."
Wu Wang said with an unnatural expression.
Because he noticed below this notification.
The 【Haggle】 option had changed.
It became 【The shop owner has benefited greatly from your verbal techniques and is currently optimizing and upgrading. Please stay tuned!】
Oh no! This guy couldn't have gotten cursed at for so long that he learned all of his speech therapy and was planning to upgrade his cursing skills to take revenge on other players, right?
Just thinking about other players possibly being attacked by his own speech therapy, Wu Wang felt a bit helpless.
It's not my fault, okay? You guys are the ones going to haggle, no one's forcing you to go.
Afterwards, he opened Old Xiezhi's chat window.
The message inside directly stunned Wu Wang.
"Brother Yan, good news."
"A subordinate of mine in my branch just happened to match into a nightmare-level team dungeon. The entry time is two days from now. Can you come to Mingyang City in the next two days to discuss the specific entry conditions?"
"I also have a favor to ask: if it doesn't affect your own safety, could you try to save my worthless subordinate? There's still someone at home waiting for him to come back. I'll personally compensate you with suitable items and equipment, and consider it Old Xiezhi owing you a favor."
"The dungeon's name is—【Masquerade Ball】!"
