White Wolf, White Witch, these are the hidden Bosses of the Frost Forest. The Mithril Pendant is useless, so Blue River doesn't care, but the White Wolf's Fang is very precious.

The Frost Forest is no longer a teaching instance for newbie villages. Each person can only enter a maximum of four times a day. It's hard to say if you can encounter a hidden Boss in those four times, let alone if there's a two-thirds chance it's not the White Wolf when you do encounter one.

If Ye Xiu only wanted these eight White Wolf's Fangs, Blue River wouldn't hesitate. But after asking for seventy-two Strong Spider Silk, and then eight White Wolf's Fangs, Blue River felt that this person was a bit greedy, worthy of being the shameless type who would kill a whole team for a hidden Boss. This person's skill is good, but their character is not good. Is it appropriate to bring such a person into the guild?

Blue River was already beginning to hesitate, but Ye Xiu replied to his message unhurriedly: "Too much? Then I don't want the Mithril Pendant, okay?"

Blue River didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly replied: "Brother, we're all sensible people. I don't care how many Mithril Pendants you want, but the Strong Spider Silk and White Wolf's Fangs..."

"Then how many do you think is appropriate?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Choose one of the two," Blue River said.

"This... it's really hard to choose!" Ye Xiu said.

"You can't have both fish and bear's paw, brother," Blue River said earnestly.

"Then White Wolf's Fangs it is!" Ye Xiu said.

"Okay," Blue River breathed a sigh of relief.

"A little something for the Strong Spider Silk would be nice, right?" Ye Xiu added.

Blue River almost vomited blood.

"How about forty?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Old brother, this..." Blue River didn't know what to say.

"Thirty?"

"Uh..."

"Twenty-five. That should be okay, right?" Ye Xiu asked.

Blue River was speechless for a long time, his hand on the keyboard, unable to find the right words.

"Twenty-four?"

Blue River's heart suddenly softened. This person was lowering the price little by little to test the waters. It was embarrassing for the dignified Blue Brook Guild to haggle over Strong Spider Silk. Blue River immediately slapped the keyboard: "Alright, let's do that!"

"Oh."

Blue River had just breathed a sigh of relief when another message popped up: "Give me a few more Mithril Pendants, you don't care anyway, right?"

Blue River fell off his chair with a crash. What kind of person was this? They even wanted to take advantage of something as useless as Mithril Pendants?

"What are you going to do with so many of those?" Blue River asked, extremely puzzled.

"These things are useless to you and me, but to some people, their value is different," Ye Xiu said.

Blue River knew that Ye Xiu was talking about the girls who liked these decorations. So this guy wanted these to pick up girls? Giving one away was fine, but wanting so many, how many girls did he want to pick up? Blue River deeply despised this person and asked, "How many do you want?"

"You said you didn't care, so just give them all to me, right?" Ye Xiu said.

"We don't have many, just two..." Blue River had to lie, and at the same time regretted saying "didn't care." Indeed, this stuff had no practical value, but it was a very rare decoration, a very good choice to give to the guild's female members as a benefit. It hurt a little to give them all to this person for nothing.

"..."

Ye Xiu only replied with an ellipsis, which made Blue River's face flush. This lie was indeed clumsy, but since he had already told it, Blue River shamelessly persevered: "So that's it?"

"If a hidden Boss appears, how will it be distributed?" Ye Xiu asked again.

"Everyone rolls for it!" Blue River answered quickly.

"..."

Ellipsis, another ellipsis. Blue River sighed. How could someone who tried so hard to take advantage be fooled on this? Rolling the dice seemed fair, but Blue River and his four friends were close. This person was alone, rolling the dice was like four against one. They had a big advantage. This person was obviously very clear about this.

"Haha, just kidding..." Blue River quickly laughed it off, "If a hidden Boss appears, we probably won't be able to break the record, so we can't let you work for nothing. You get to pick one item from the hidden Boss, how about that?"

"Okay, then it's settled," Ye Xiu agreed.

"Then when are you coming over? Our people are all in the Frost Forest!" Blue River said.

"Oh, wait a moment, I'm finishing this instance," Ye Xiu said.

"Okay." Blue River nodded and then looked at Ye Xiu in his friends list: "Brother, do you still need to change your class first?"

"No need, I'll just leave it like this for now!"

Blue River was stunned: "This..."

"I won't say anymore, I'm going to hurry up and finish this instance," Ye Xiu replied.

So Blue River silently closed the message and thought about it again and again, feeling that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully for a long time, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

What was he doing? His original purpose was to invite this guy to run an instance together to build a relationship, but he had spent so much time haggling over the rewards. This completely changed the nature of things, making it seem like he was hiring someone to work. Did Blue Brook Guild need to hire outsiders to work?

Thinking of this, Blue River suddenly felt sorry for all the rewards he had haggled for, feeling as if he had given them away for nothing. But suddenly, he thought of the condition for giving away these things: breaking the dungeon record.

Blue River was immediately stunned.

Missing one person, breaking the record was just his excuse. Blue Brook Guild had sent forty top-tier players to the new server. How could they be short of one person to form a five-person team? Saying they were short of one person was just to give him a plausible reason to invite someone. As for breaking the record, that was to create a common goal for everyone, making it easier to communicate.

Frankly speaking, Blue River didn't think that inviting someone at random could create a new clear time record. After 12:00 AM, the dungeon instances reset. Blue River had already led the most elite five-person team from Blue Brook Guild to run the Frost Forest three times, and there was still a significant gap between their time and the current record held by Herb Garden. If the arrival of one person could really change that, wouldn't that person's strength have to be stronger than the elites in their guild?

Blue River thought that Lord Grim was a talent, but he didn't think that he was a talent stronger than the elites in their guild. But this person was seriously haggling with him over the rewards for clearing the instance. Was this person serious? He was only level 20, and he said that he wouldn't change his class yet. Did he really think he could break the record like that?

"Blue River, how's it going with the person you contacted?" Just then, Bound Boat, a master in Blue River's team, asked.

"I've invited him. He'll be here in a moment. Who's going to give up their spot?" Blue River looked at the other four members of the team.

"Oh, then I'll take a break!" someone said.

Blue River "mm"ed, and then this person quit the team. The remaining four squatted at the entrance of the dungeon, waiting for Lord Grim's arrival. Blue River was still hesitant.
