Chapter 125 – Is there a traitor among us?
After replying to Han Yaru, Zhang Yi closed the chat window, left the Revival Spring, and headed to the warehouse in Hope Town.
In the Apocalypse world, aside from the limited-space backpack, every player has a warehouse that can store items infinitely, the difference being that the latter cannot be carried around.
Finding the warehouse in the Safe Zone, Zhang Yi opened his personal warehouse, took out three pieces of equipment dropped by the Greedy Dragon Emperor from his bag, placed two of them and a purple skill book inside, and then, after some thought, also stored the 2-star [Undead Set] rewarded from the City of Energy dungeon.
After that, Zhang Yi returned to the Revival Spring and sent the same message to King's Glory and Storm Angel: "I'm back, I'm at the Revival Spring."
At this moment, both King's Glory and Storm Angel were practically glued to the chat window, and upon seeing Zhang Yi's reply, King's Glory exclaimed in shock, "Brother Cheng... did you die?"
Storm Angel sighed, "Looks like he did. If he used a Return Scroll, he wouldn't be coming from the Revival Spring."
"Damn! Brother Cheng wouldn't do something reckless, would he? I'm going to check on him!"
With that, King's Glory rushed towards the Revival Spring, while Storm Dragon King was puzzled, "Why is King's Glory suddenly so concerned about Yinuo Qingcheng?"
Storm Angel was also taken aback, then suddenly realized, "Damn! He's after the Undead Set!"
Saying this, Storm Angel and his group hurriedly followed, fearing that King's Glory would get the promised Undead Set from Yinuo Qingcheng first!
After all, Yinuo Qingcheng had previously said: whichever of their two teams contributed more would get the Undead Set, without specifying that they had to help him clear the dungeon.
And this time, to help Yinuo Qingcheng with the dungeon, both King's Glory and Storm Angel suffered significant losses!
At the Revival Spring, Zhang Yi sat leisurely on a rock by the spring, examining the items dropped by the Greedy Dragon Emperor.
Aside from the two pieces of equipment he had casually stored in the warehouse, there was another piece of equipment—
A level 30, 3-star assassin weapon: Greedy Blade!
Double agility bonus, an exceptional dagger!
Even Zhang Yi, a mage, couldn't help but drool.
Before he could check the other items, King's Glory and Storm Angel arrived with their respective teams.
"Brother Cheng!" King's Glory hurried over, looking concerned, "Brother Cheng, did those bastards from Proud of the Crowd kill you?"
Storm Angel followed closely, expressing concern, "Qingcheng, are you alright?"
Initially thinking of the BOSS in the chat, they now began to show concern for Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi saw through their duplicity, "I died once, it's no big deal, but I did take down the BOSS."
Hearing this, King's Glory and Storm Angel were overjoyed, "Really? That's great!"
"Yeah, thanks to both of you for your help," Zhang Yi said.
King's Glory chuckled, "No problem at all~"
After a pause, Zhang Yi sighed, "It's just a pity that I didn't get much from the BOSS drop, most of it was taken by Proud of the Crowd before I could pick it up."
"What?" King's Glory and Storm Angel revealed their true intentions, "What about the Undead Set?"
"The Undead Set... was also dropped."
"The whole set was dropped???" King's Glory was incredulous, "Is that even possible?"
"Yeah, when it comes to sets, if they drop, it's the whole set," Zhang Yi said regretfully, "I promised to give it to you guys, sorry..."
"Those bastards from Proud of the Crowd!" King's Glory gritted his teeth.
"But don't worry," Zhang Yi said, "I won't let you guys help me with the dungeon for nothing."
Saying this, Zhang Yi generously took out 280 gold coins, along with the [Greedy Blade] and [3-star Treasure Chest], and said to King's Glory and Storm Angel, "A personal compensation of 10 gold coins for entering the dungeon, and these are the only things I got from the BOSS drop, plus a Beast Contract."
As he spoke, Zhang Yi deliberately opened his backpack, and when King's Glory and Storm Angel saw that there were indeed no other items that a BOSS might drop, nor the Undead Set, they believed Zhang Yi's words without doubt.
Zhang Yi continued, "As we agreed before, I only want the contract, you guys can split the other two items."
Zhang Yi's "gift" made King's Glory and Storm Angel very happy.
"Giving away a 3-star item just like that, truly worthy of being the boss of Zone 886!" King's Glory, who got the 3-star Treasure Chest equivalent to a 3-star item, said with a smile.
He even forgot that his losses were far more than just the teammates who entered the dungeon, there were also dozens of brothers guarding outside the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, all killed by Proud of the Crowd.
At this point, Storm Angel was a bit puzzled, "Don't you think it's strange? How did Proud of the Crowd happen to enter the dungeon at that exact time?"
Picking up on Storm Angel's words, King's Glory was also baffled, "Do we have a traitor among us?"
"Who is it!" King's Glory shouted to the players of King's World and Storm Family around him, "Who leaked our dungeon plans to Proud of the Crowd? Although I admit I'm no saint, I absolutely despise traitors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads.
At this moment, Zhang Yi waved his hand, "Forget it, maybe it was just a coincidence."
"Thanks for today, both of you."
As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, King's Glory and Storm Angel said in unison, "No problem, no problem, if you need anything in the future, Brother Cheng (Qingcheng), just let us know, as long as it's within our power, we'll do it!"
Thus, Zhang Yi managed to send King's World and Storm Family away with just a 3-star item, a 3-star Treasure Chest, and 280 gold coins.
And in their eyes, not only did they not suspect anything, but they also felt indebted to Zhang Yi.
Because they at least got a 3-star item and a chest, plus gold coin compensation.
While Zhang Yi, aside from the Beast Contract which was useless to their archers, got nothing else and lost a lot of money.
Once King's World and Storm Family left, Han Yaru, who had been watching from a distance, walked over to Zhang Yi.
"Zhang Yi, did you really give them all the BOSS drops?"
"I'm not stupid," Zhang Yi said, looking at Han Yaru, "Let me take you somewhere."
