Who else could this person be? Besides the greedy Jiao Wolf who was a good businessman, there was no one who could be so unscrupulous.

When he saw Ye Weiming running towards him, Jiao Wolf smiled and said, “I wasted close to ten minutes of my precious time to secure this deal. It isn’t too much to collect 50 more silver from you, right?”

Ye Weiming didn’t have the time to bullshit with him. He immediately clicked on the stall and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the price of the item as well as the item. Then he instantly bought the sword.

1 Gold and 50 Silver were taken away from him immediately. A long steel sword appeared in Ye Weiming’s hand. It was still a piece of rubbish that could only increase his attack by 20.

But no matter how rubbish it was, it was still a sword!

To a swordsman, having a sword and not having a sword were two different concepts.

Bury Moon was about to catch up with him again. Ye Weiming quickly waved his hand and welcomed him with ‘Lamb Chewing Peony’.

As for Businessman Jiao Wolf, he had already retreated far away.

This fellow was clear-headed enough to understand what he did. He sold a sword to Ye Weiming so that meant that he disrupted Bury Moon’s plan. At the same time, he slaughtered Ye Weiming furiously during the process of this transaction. Thus, he knew that Ye Weiming wouldn’t thank him for his help.

After the battle ended, no matter who the survivor was, he wouldn’t have a good ending.

However, he didn’t care. Seeking nothing but profits was a noble trait of an outstanding businessman. As he watched the two players fighting furiously, he didn’t stay behind to get a cheap deal. The position he gave himself in this game was a businessman, not a scavenger.

Thus, he decided to run away!

However, before he left, he didn’t forget to shout at the two players who were fighting, “Both of you are masters in the game. If you need to sell any items that you won’t use in the future, you can come to the Blue Fatty Items Shop at Luoyang. The price of white items starts from 10 Silver and blue items start from 1 Gold. The final price depends on the attributes of the item. I have professional appraisers in my shop. I believe that you will be satisfied with the quoted price.”

After he finished his advertisement, he dashed towards the direction of the dock without waiting for the reply.

However, before he could reach the dock, he was stabbed in the throat by a long sword that shot out from behind a tree. This surprise attack caused critical damage!

Yin Bukui’s figure dashed out from behind the tree. Before Jiao Wolf could react, he waved his sword multiple times, instantly turning this immoral businessman into a flash of white light.

Ye Weiming was still fighting with Bury Moon halfway up the mountain when he saw this scene. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

People like Jiao Wolf who raised the price on the spot were irritating but without this steel sword, he wouldn’t be able to find a way out of his plight so easily. Thus, he couldn’t hate Jiao Wolf either.

On the other hand, all he wanted to say to Yin Bukui when he directly PKed Jiao Wolf without any warning…

You did a great job!

Reality proved that Ye Weiming wasn’t the only martial arts master in the game. This Bury Moon was not to be underestimated either. They had fought for more than 30 rounds and although both of them dropped some health in the process, no one was able to gain any advantage.

Bury Moon evaded Ye Weiming’s sweep towards his throat. This time, he opened his mouth voluntarily, “You have a lousy sword. It won’t be easy to beat me. Why don’t we call it a day?”

Ye Weiming didn’t stop attacking him. At the same time, he said in contempt, “Do you really think that the outcome will be internecine?”

Bury Moon asked him back calmly, “Isn’t that the truth?”

What a poor kid. Because of their standing positions, he couldn’t see Yin Bukui’s sneak attack on Jiao Wolf. He also couldn’t see Yin Bukui charging towards them after he killed Jiao Wolf.

Yin Bukui stood behind Bury Moon and helped Ye Weiming to reply to Bury Moon. “Of course not. Do you think that I’m invisible?”

Yin Bukui raised his sword and stabbed at Bury Moon. He started attacking Bury Moon together with Ye Weiming!

So what if my weapon wasn’t good enough?

I have a teammate!

When there was only Ye Weiming around, Bury Moon was still able to maintain the balance between them with some effort. After Yin Bukui entered the picture, he started to feel anxious.

Bury Moon knew that he wasn’t their match but he couldn’t escape because Ye Weiming’s movement technique was at a higher level. He had no choice but to open his mouth again and said, “Fellows, killing is easy but you might unconsciously bring misfortune to others. Let’s not get too overboard. If I die here, I will fail my mission. My efforts for the past two days will be wasted. Do you want to become mortal enemies with me?”

Ye Weiming didn’t care about him at all. “Oh, you know this? So what were you thinking when you chased us just now?”

Ye Weiming and Yin Bukui didn’t stop attacking when he was speaking. Instead, their attacks got more violent.

One minute later, Bury Moon’s health was almost gone. In the end, Ye Weiming used the ‘Beauty Of A Sick Lady’ to turn him into a flash of white light.

The items he dropped were a long sword, a jade pendant, and… a box of steamed bun?

Ye Weiming quickly picked up the items and put them into his bag. Then he sent Yin Bukui the links of the items. He didn’t do this because he wanted to keep all the items for himself. It should be known that the items a player dropped were different from the items dropped by a boss. There was no such thing as touching the corpse and waiting for the system to distribute the items for you. You have to pick up the items to see their attributes.

Green Bamboo Sword (Gold): Created using the poison mystic techniques of the Miao boundary. Attack +150, Movement +5, Poison attribute damage +5.

Nephrite Jade Pendant (blue): A pendant made from nephrite jade. It’s able to nourish your Qi and health. Health limit +100, Internal energy limit +50.

Meat Vegetable Bun: The famous meat vegetable bun from Yangzhou city. It’s delicious. Hunger -20.

“F**k, this is absurd! Even disciples from righteous clans like me have to eat plain steamed buns. Yet, this immoral fellow is eating meat buns!?” This was what Yin Bukui cared about when he saw the attributes of the three items?

Yin Bukui didn’t mention anything about the distribution of the items but Ye Weiming couldn’t act blur. He went directly to the topic at hand and said, “The price of this Green Bamboo Sword is around 50 Gold. The Nephrite Jade Pendant is a blue item but such accessories are rare in the game so it should cost around 20 Gold. Let’s distribute the items based on this price. The person who takes the sword will compensate the other party with money. Which one do you want?”

When he heard Ye Weiming’s suggestion, Yin Bukui replied firmly, “I want the pendant.”

It was the expected answer. Ye Weiming immediately sent Yin Bukui a trading request. He placed the pendant and 15 Gold on the trading platform.

Based on his estimation, the total value of these two items was 70 Gold. Everyone would get 35 Gold worth of items. If Ye Weiming took the Green Bamboo Sword, he would naturally have to give the other party 15 Gold.

But when Yin Bukui saw the content of the transaction, he canceled the deal directly. “This is just the beginning of the game. I think that 15 Gold must be the entire wealth for a martial arts master like you, right? I don’t want your gold. I just want the meat buns as well as a promise that when I meet any troubles during my mission in the future, you will help me once.”

Ye Weiming shook his head. “We’re friends. If you need me, you just have to call me. I will not refuse you. Financial matters should be settled clearly between friends. You have to take the money.”

Ye Weiming persisted so Yin Bukui had to keep the pendant and the money. Of course, he was more concerned about the meat buns. After everything was settled, he took out one meat bun without hesitation and ate it happily. He said in a muffled voice while eating, “After I entered the game, I can’t bear to spend any money so I haven’t eaten meat for days. I finally ate a meat bun today. What a tough life!”

“Brother Ye, would you like one?”

Ye Weiming looked at Yin Bukui as he enjoyed his meat bun. A gentle smile appeared on his face. He said sincerely, “Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me?”

Ye Weiming smiled and didn’t reply to him. He just raised his finger and pointed at the spot where Jiao Wolf was killed. Then he said, “You know what I’m referring to. As a constable, there are some things that I can’t do.”

“You’re so hypocritical!”

Yin Bukui laughed as he scolded Ye Weiming. After that, he bid farewell to Ye Weiming with cupped fists and rode on the boat back to Mount Wudang to complete his mission.

As for Ye Weiming, he turned his body and looked at the mountain full of corpses. Excitement shot out of his eyes.

It was another harvest season!
