Chapter 333 – Dark Portal



Nie Yan’s auction houses and shops generated a lot of gold . Combined with the numerous contributions of the guilds members, Asskickers United could persevere for a long time . Thanks to recent events, the profit of the Union of Assassins took a sharp decline since the professional players would rather be participating in the bounty notice than carrying out regular missions . Calculating everything, he earned roughly 50,000 gold a day .  

「Guo Huai, I want you to note down all their names . When this war is over, we’re going to reward them properly . They’re the lifeblood of Asskickers United!」Nie Yan said . The loyalty these players displayed far exceeded that of ordinary guild members . Of course, their effort didn’t go unnoticed . He planned to grant them benefits befitting of their merits .

At this moment, Bird walked over to Nie Yan with a girl in tow . She was quite cute .

Nie Yan glanced at the young lady, and she stared back at him with an inquisitive gaze . Her eyes were bright and full of spirit .

Violet Mist gazed at Nie Yan . He looked just like the figure she saw in the videos online . This was Mad Rogue Nirvana Flame!

“This is Violet Mist . She’s willing to become your personal Tinkerer . She’s one of our Advanced Tinkerers,” Bird said as he introduced Violet Mist to Nie Yan .

Nie Yan nodded in acknowledgement . Violet Mist looked no older than 18 years old . It was hard to believe someone so young would become a reknowned Tinkerer worth over ¥100,000,000 in the future . Even though he was a little surprised, he had seen many young talents by now, so he didn’t show too much of a reaction .

“Have you shown her the contract?” Nie Yan asked . Most players wouldn’t be willing to be bound by such a stringent contract, but the benefits he offered in return were ample . Just his name alone was a big attraction, to say nothing of the fact that he planned to invest an immense amount of resources to foster his personal Tinkerer .

“Yes, she’s already signed the contract,” Bird replied . Even Bird didn’t know what Nie Yan’s goal was .

Nie Yan turned to Violet Mist . “Since you’ve decided to become my personal Tinkerer, I’m sure you’ve read through the contents of the contract, including the confidentiality clause . ”

Seeing Nie Yan’s solemn expression, Violet Mist became flustered . The person before her was the legendary guild leader of Asskickers United, Mad Rogue Nirvana Flame! She felt immense pressure .

Who hadn’t watched videos of Nie Yan’s feats online? He was a heaven-defying figure who commanded her respect . Add this to the fact that she just found out this person was her boss, and it was no wonder she felt nervous .

“I understand . ” Violet Mist vigorously nodded .



Seeing Violet Mist’s flustered appearance, Nie Yan chuckled . “I’m not some scary monster . No need to be so nervous . Just abide by the terms of the contract and you’ll be fine . ”

A young lady like Violet Mist was still pure . She was much more trustworthy than those sly foxes who bounced from guild to guild .

“Here, take this . ” Nie Yan handed over Dela’s Magical Device Book . “I’ll provide you with all the necessary materials . You’ll be crafting the items described inside this book, specifically the Magic Bombs . I need a lot of Intermediate Magic Bombs, the more the better!” With a large supply of Magic Bombs, a lot of problems could be easily resolved, such as raising the levels of the players in the guild .

The materials required to manufacture Magic Bombs were fairly cheap, at least compared to the price of buying Magic Bombs from NPCs . Nie Yan still felt deeply pained when he recalled how much gold he spent on them .

Violet Mist curiously flipped open the book Nie Yan handed her, whereupon her eyes widened in shock .

This was a Legendary-grade Tinkerer Manual!

Just where did he get this!? Violet Mist was blown away . But on second thought, she felt this wasn’t all too strange . After all, Nie Yan was the guild leader of Asskickers United .

“Work hard . I hope you’ll meet my expectations . If your performance is good, I’ll give you a raise,” Nie Yan said . Most production class players didn’t come from wealthy backgrounds . Since crafting professions were generally monotonous and boring, the vast majority of players who selected them did so to earn money . Those who could earn salaries like Violet Mist ranked among the top of their respective professions .

Violet Mist hastily nodded . “I won’t let you down!” As a high schooler, it was amazing she could earn such a salary by playing Conviction . Even her parents would be shocked . She naturally wouldn’t pass up on such a lucrative job .

“I’ll leave you guys to it . ” Nie Yan bid farewell after explaining the relevant affairs .

Bird called for someone to prepare the necessary crafting materials for Violet Mist .

Nie Yan wondered about Violet Mist’s production output . As an Advanced Tinkerer, she should have no problem manufacturing several dozen Magic Bombs a day . He could let them accumulate for a few days, then use them all at once to level up .

Bird led Violet Mist away .



Nie Yan had a headache trying to think of a method to earn gold quickly . Doing quests was out of the question . Even the most difficult ones within the scope of his abilities would only reward him around 50 gold . Such a pitiful amount was like trying to douse a house fire with a cup of water .

Nie Yan reshuffled a few things in his auction houses and shops . The Level 50 dungeon, Roth City, was going to be released in a few days . He had his subordinates stock up on items he knew would be in high demand . With six auction houses, his hoarding ability was unmatched . After the release of every new dungeon, he made a profit of thousands to tens of thousands of gold .

The war with Bloodlust Blades didn’t show any signs of ending soon . It might even drag on for over a week . Nie Yan felt confident Asskickers United could last for 10 days . He didn’t know if the other side could do the same .

Nie Yan went off and explored some secret areas in high-level maps, obtaining rare items which he listed up for sale in the auction house . He also spent a lot of time running around in the wilderness hunting for treasure chests . This was his way of earning a bit of extra gold while also conveniently training his Lockpicking Specialist skill .


While Nie Yan was in the middle of treasure hunting, the Dark Portal from Bennett’s Journal was about to open .

The Dark Portal opened once every five days and only lasted 20 minutes . Nie Yan would have to wait another five days for it to open again if he missed it . He pondered for a long time . Should he go and visit the Underworld? He might even make some unexpected harvest . It was also a good opportunity to earn a lot of gold!

Nie Yan finally came to a decision . He would have Sun retrieve the next fragment of Sulgata’s Shadow while he took a trip to the Underworld . The territories of the two factions were in the same dimension, so he could still remotely direct things back in Calore .

「You want to go to the Underworld!?」Guo Huai blurred out in shock after Nie Yan informed him of his plans .

「Yes, I’m going to the Underworld,」Nie Yan said decisively .

「When will you be back?」Guo Huai asked . He was worried something might happen during Nie Yan’s absence .

「Five days . 」

「That long?」Guo Huai frowned .

「Keep the bounty notice up . We can hold out for at least a week and a half . Don’t fret, nothing will happen . Even if Bloodlust Blades keeps making taunts, tell our brothers to stay calm . With the way things are developing, we’ll definitely be the ones to come out on top!」

「Alright . 」Guo Huai nodded . He should be able to manage the situation by himself for the next five days .

「Help me get a few bags, the bigger the better . Ask the brothers in the guild chat . I want the largest bags!」Nie Yan said . Since he was going to be staying in the Underworld for the next five days, he would need to stock up on plenty of consumables . Besides this, the more bagspace he had, the more items he could bring back .  

「I’ll get right to it!」Guo Huai said . He began asking in the guild chat for large bags . As a guild full of elites, the players from Asskickers United regularly obtained bags from levelling and dungeon runs .

The players in the chat replied in droves when they heard Nie Yan needed bags with a lot of slots .

「How large of a bag does the boss need?」

「I have a 30-slot bag . 」

「How could a 30-slot bag be good enough for the boss!?」

「I have a 36-slot bag!」

「I also have one!」

「I have a 40-slot bag!」

Guo Huai compensated the players who donated their bags with an equivalent value of merit points . After tallying everything up, he collected two 40-slot bags and two 36-slot bags . They were the best bags available at the current stage of the game!

After finding how many bags Guo Huai collected, Nie Yan quickly whispered him,「That’s enough, I already have a 40-slot bag on me as well . Deliver everything to my personal storage . 」

Before long, Nie Yan received the bags Guo Huai sent over and switched out his old bags .

Nie Yan stocked up on a ton of consumables, including some necessary scrolls . His Combat Medic skill had also ranked up .

Combat Medic (Advanced)

 

Requirements: 10 Runic Cloths

Description: Craft Advanced Combat Bandages which can be used in the middle of combat . Each bandage replenishes 200 health every second for 10 seconds and cannot be interrupted for the first 3 seconds . (Cooldown: 5 minutes)

Nie Yan bought enough Runic Cloths to craft three full stacks of Advanced Combat Bandages, which should be enough to last him five days .

Aside from the Combat Bandages, Nie Yan filled all five of his bags with full stacks of consumables . Out of the 172 slots in his inventory, only 5 were left empty . He definitely had to leave some empty space; otherwise, he would be forced to throw stuff away to make space when he found valuable items in the Underworld .

After settling his affairs in Calore, Nie Yan found a secluded corner and opened the Dark Portal .

A portal emerged in front of Nie Yan . It emitted a dark energy that appeared to pierce through space .

This Dark Portal led to the remote Underworld!

As Nie Yan gazed at the portal, a mysterious force guided him . He lifted his foot and stepped inside . The surrounding space trembled as his figure disappeared into the Dark Portal .
