What treasure chest monster? Call me the Mysterious Merchant!

Chapter 64 The Treasure Chest Merchant Ruined My Reputation!

Seth circled the monument twice, and seeing no movement, reached out and touched it:

"The material is similar to that of the Dragon Summoning Flute, so it's definitely a dragon civilization. In that case..."

Without lingering, he strode out of the fantasy library, returned to his office, and picked up the magical communication device on his desk:

"I need 50 gold coins. Get them ready now and deliver them tonight."

"Yes, President, do you need any other consumables?" a young female voice asked on the other end of the phone.

After a moment's thought, Seth said, "Bring 200 sets of armor for each class, Tier 4."

He hung up the phone, tapped his fingers twice on the table, and then suddenly stood up.

……

Meanwhile, Fang Qi was accelerating at breakneck speed.

Seth will definitely come looking for me and Loxi, so I need to hurry back to the shop!

We don't need to worry about Zhenyu for now. If she can't win, she'll run away. Even if she dies and goes back, we can still get her back.

Although his business plans were disrupted, there were advantages to the chaos.

He had already used the alias "Divine Stele" to spread the word, and unless the academy was stupid, they couldn't possibly not have made the connection to "Standard Cube".

After more than a week of fermentation, that thing has become a kind of hard currency in the academy and surrounding areas, and its expansion trend is very good.

The college will definitely take this very seriously and come to me for bulk purchases.

Even if we can't use it all this time, it's still a worthwhile strategic resource to reserve high-purity magic.

Fang Qi went all out, drifting along and banging on blocks, making a racket like an old-fashioned tractor.

There were no students on the road, only a few instructors with solemn expressions and hurried steps, clearly having a mission to complete.

They heard the unusual noise, glanced at it briefly, saw that it was Rosie sitting on the box, and then paid no further attention.

One of the "Four Sages," best avoided.

This made it easier for Fang Qi to travel.

The once bustling commercial district is now closed, with doors and windows tightly shut, and the light of a protective magic circle flickering faintly.

No wonder, anyone with eyes could see that the academy being sealed off by the dome was unusual.

It is because of their confidence in top-tier academies that businessmen are able to wait patiently. If this were elsewhere, they would probably have all run away by any means necessary, creating complete chaos.

boom.

Fang Qi reversed and bumped into the gate, then quickly returned to his original position: "Luo Xi, you prepare the goods, I'll go get the people."

"Okay." Rosie opened the warehouse door, poured out the standard cubes, and packed them into boxes of nine.

Mr. Box has already explained that a box of 9 costs 6300 credits. If Vance comes, he should keep his word and give him a 5% discount, making it 6000 after the discount.

Fang Qi's consciousness was focused on the original historical text.

After a quick calculation, over three days, the average daily income was over three thousand yuan. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to store up as reserves and have a big meal occasionally.

"No, save it first." He entered the editing page.

There are only three things I'm here for: recruit people, recruit people, and recruit people again!

However, the conditions need to be modified.

The financial resources test needs to be improved. Several days have passed, and those who haven't made money are definitely casual players. This time, we're in a bit of a hurry and need to find some hardcore players.

For combat power testing, the speed requirement for clearing the level remains the same, but a contribution percentage requirement will be added. After all, you need to explore new areas, and you can't just rely on others to get through without some ability.

As for the probability of triggering the teleportation trap, Fang Qi thought for a moment and secretly changed it.

Double the amount, plus targeted invitations!

In the past two days, some lucky players have come, but Fang Qi has sent them all away on the grounds that he "lacks the key materials for activating the channel".

There were no shortage of staff in the store for the time being. Fang Qi planned to let players in after he had sold most of the goods he had on hand, so that he could get some Talosha specialties for free.

This is a perfect opportunity to cash in on the deal and make a quick profit.

"We need 23, plus Zhenyu, that's enough to form 3 player teams."

Fang Qi estimated the combat strength of both sides and felt that they were about the same, with the player having a slight advantage. With his own and the academy's assistance, he was sure to win.

Players will need to spend a significant amount of points to leave the warehouse, and Fang Qi also plans to use his new ability to provide support during combat...

Each additional player represents an unnecessary expense, so we should save money wherever possible.

"Adjusting the rules only costs 1000 points, which is quite cheap."

Once the revisions are complete, all that's left is to wait patiently.

……

Five hours later, Fang Qi finished processing the large orders from Saite and the Academy, and glanced at the transaction terminal.

A post went viral and became the top trending topic:

"This must be a trap set by the treasure chest merchant!"

"My trap? Well, I'll have to take a look."

After confirming that two more players were needed to start a large group in the circular corridor, Fang Qi clicked on the post.

"Qiling: Family, does anyone understand? Last time I led a raid group, after finishing the dungeon, I hadn't even paid the workers yet when I suddenly fell into a teleportation trap and was thrown here. The system even said I need to prepare 3000 gold coins worth of Ice Mint to open the door to the new map. (Attached: Screenshot of the Circular Corridor)"

"Qiling: After I got out, I finally found the team records and spent ages explaining to everyone in private messages. I even had to pay them back to salvage my reputation... This time, I started a boss team again and fell into their trap and got dumped here!"

"Qiling: They still haven't let me out! Everyone's saying I skipped out on my bill! Damn it, this must be a trap set by the treasure chest merchant, ruining my reputation and preventing me from getting any glowing weapons!"

"Oh ho." Fang Qi laughed unkindly, indicating that he was powerless to help.

That's right, he did it on purpose, making sure the players couldn't find it and would come back another time.

This is called sustainable development: reasonably increasing the difficulty of obtaining equipment, adding random variables, and lengthening the player's graduation period.

He didn't even add random attributes to the game, and then let players enhance it; that's already quite merciful.

Besides, others only made a few comments, but they didn't criticize him, did they?

This shows that the hidden dungeon, the Circular Corridor, is still very attractive!

Then look down.

"Qiling: I can't even imagine how I'm going to survive the days of running dungeons, opening treasure chests, and having teleportation traps everywhere..."

"abc: The original poster doesn't know how lucky they are. I heard that's a hidden map over there, and there are several new classes. I want to go in but I can't..."

"11111: Has nobody noticed the design of the circular corridor? It's a bit like a transportation hub, like the Great Blessing! Those stalls will definitely be full of functional NPCs in the future. I wonder when the planners will arrange a wife to go in there."

The next row includes those who agree and want to go, as well as some who speculate about the college's tendency to chase rumors.

Fang Qi casually flipped through the pages and then looked away.

In just a short while, two more people appeared in the circular corridor, one of whom was an acquaintance.

"Finally everyone's here!" Fang Qi counted the number of people, confirmed that the team was in place, and then used his newly acquired ability to impersonate the system, projecting it in front of each player at the same time.
