The Almighty Ring - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: 163




Since being beaten up no longer yielded results, Jiang Fei decided to stop wasting time .

Although Han Tianyu had told him he was not suited for martial arts and had crushed his dreams, Jiang Fei picked himself up in no time . He was different . He had the mental fortitude and other means of gaining power!

The Mysterious Ring on his finger gave him unlimited hope . Although he could not defend himself against an Inner Qi expert with his equipment for now, these experts had to be very few in number . Moreover, Jiang Fei's Mysterious Ring was capable of leveling up . Who knows what it could do in the future!

If Jiang Fei's body was not up for it, the Ring could fill in the gaps . If his body could not Level up, the Ring could . Therefore, locating Green Smithing Recipes that were Level 20 and above became Jiang Fei's new objective!

However, the drop rate of Recipes in the game was pathetically low . Up until now, he had not even discovered a single dungeon above Level 20 . Equipment Recipes above Level 20 were all but unheard of . Moreover, ever since Jiang Fei and Han Tianyu's relationship became known, Magithieves and the other two main guilds had started distancing themselves from Jiang Fei . All their acquired Recipes were handed over to their in-house blacksmiths . Although Jiang Fei had a very high success rate, Jiang Fei was already as good as an unofficial member of The Aristocrats . If they gave Jiang Fei the Recipes, it would be equivalent to helping their enemy!

The Aristocrats had gained a massive lead after they had established their guild base . If Jiang Fei had the financial backing and had access to large volumes of high-quality equipment Recipes, the other guilds would have no place left in the Dawnlight City!

After half a month, The Aristocrats now stood head and shoulders above the other three main guilds . It was now the hegemon in Dawnlight City!



The Aristocrats's guild base was nearly complete . Han Tianyu's arrival had boosted the development speed of the guild base with his sheer wealth . All his needs were met with a single word: Buy! Buy! Buy!

To boost The Aristocrats's position, Han Tianyu invested money in the real world to purchase eight large gaming studios . All sorts of materials were collected continuously to supplement the building of The Aristocrats . Nothing could stem or halt its progress!

Apart from that, upon completion of the guild base, The Aristocrats had become a middle-grade guild . The member limit had increased to ten thousand members .


Originally, Happy Drunk had wanted to use advertisements to attract players . From the new pool of players, they would slowly cultivate the ones who had the abilities and were also loyal to become team leaders and group leaders . However, Han Tianyu felt that this was a waste of time . In fact, the cultivated group leaders would not be professional enough . The tycoon had directly bought over twelve gaming organizations and recruited the over three hundred professional gamers . Overnight, the leadership framework had been completed for each level of group leaders!

Han Tianyu's meddling was indeed a good thing . As these players had signed contracts in the real world and were also paid salaries for their professional leadership . They were much more loyal and reliable than the leaders who would have been cultivated in the game . After all, these professional gamers knew who their big boss was in real life . Even if they had the guts, they would not dare to betray the military arms dealer!

However, Happy Drunk was not happy about it . In his own words, "A tycoon like you has just ruined the fun in the game!"

"Hehe, I play the game for the sake of entertainment and happiness . Why bother with all that trouble? A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem after all . When the time is right, I will bring you around on a stampede . It will be fun!"



Han Tianyu clearly did not agree with Happy Drunk's idea of working hard for fun . In the eyes of this tycoon, the purpose of gaming was to have fun . The amount of money spent in the game did not matter the least bit to a tycoon like himself!

There was a saying that it was easier to find a thousand troops, than it was to find a capable leader . With the management framework in place, it was much easier to recruit new members . After all, they had the bragging rights as the number one guild in Dawnlight City . Random advertisements had attracted members overnight and transformed The Aristocrats from a low-grade guild with twenty thousand members to a middle-grade guild with a hundred thousand members!

The Aristocrats's ridiculously unreasonable methods had upset the other three big guilds . They no longer dared to be associated with Jiang Fei -- the master of equipment . They were afraid of indirectly helping The Aristocrats .

With the three big guilds no longer supplying Jiang Fei with Recipes, Jiang Fei was supposed to have nowhere to turn to but The Aristocrats . However, Han Tianyu had clearly misunderstood Jiang Fei . He thought that Jiang Fei did not like to craft equipment, and had, therefore, told Happy Drunk not to bother Jiang Fei unless it was urgent .

Happy Drunk was not Jiang Fei's brother, after all . He also viewed The Aristocrats as his own baby . Since Han Tianyu had asked him not to trouble Jiang Fei, he would obey, even if he found any Recipes . Therefore, Happy Drunk started cultivating his own blacksmith . He no longer bothered Jiang Fei .

While the other guilds did not want to inadvertently help their enemy, Jiang Fei did not want to cause anyone trouble . Therefore, the two main powers in Dawnlight City had stopped providing Recipes or ingredients to Jiang Fei .

Jiang Fei would never ask for help unless he absolutely needed it . If someone else did not approach him with Recipes to trade for his equipment, he would simply assume that nobody had found anything . He would not initiate the conversation . Therefore, the double layers of misunderstandings led to Jiang Fei not having access to any Green Recipes of Level 20 and above .

Jiang Fei did have Blue Recipes . However, their appetite for valuable material went through the roof . He knew exactly how much the Mysterious Ring needed to consume . The last time he fed the ring, he had been shocked beyond reason . He never dared feed it with any more blue equipment ever since .

Having shopped around yet again, Jiang Fei still failed to find any crafting or treasure Recipes . After all, the possibility of pub players acquiring Recipes was pathetic!

"Ding!"

The sound of a system notification could be heard . It notified Jiang Fei that a voice message had been received . Jiang Fei saw that it was a message from the Bandit, Smart Tomato, whom he had met not long ago .

"Hi, Brother Fei!"

As soon as the voice message was accepted, Smart Tomato's warm greeting could be heard .

"How are you? What's the matter?" Jiang Fei asked .

"Hehe, Brother Fei, I've got juicy news!"

Smart Tomato laughed .

"Oh? How juicy exactly?" Jiang Fei asked .

"A Level 25 Unknown Solo Dungeon!"

Smart Tomato did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point .

"Eh?"

Jiang Fei's eyes flew wide open . What perfect timing . He had been worried about Green Recipe shortage . A Unknown Dungeon was the perfect solution .

"What do you think? Are you interested, Brother Fei?" Smart Tomato asked tentatively .

Although the rewards from a Unknown Dungeon were great, these dungeons were hell . Regular folk may be able to learn of their locations, and that would be it . This was especially the case for a Level 25 Dungeon . Players would only dare make an attempt once they have reached Level 30 and unlocked the second class . If Jiang Fei did not buy it, it might no longer be Smart Tomato's secret in the next few days!
