MMORPG: Martial Gamer Chapter 1301 - -200 Gold

Chapter 1301: -200 Gold

Twilight City wasn’t a big place to begin with and the west side of the city wasn’t very far away from the School of Magicians. Shortly after, Wang Yu and Fearless had arrived at the Library.
The Librarian was sitting at the front of the door, with the same old unyielding expression, seemingly as if he would beat you to death if you were to disturb him.
Wang Yu dared not carelessly provoke this person, thus he softly nudged at Fearless, who was by his side.
With a sly smile, Fearless walked up to the front of the Librarian, before tossing out a bag of money and asking, “Can I enquire if you happen to know Arthur’s location?”
Upon seeing the bag of money, the Librarian lifted his brows and said, “Which one?”
“Keke!” Fearless smiled before reaching out his hand. The other library staff were stunned momentarily, before reluctantly returning the bag of money back into Fearless’ hands.
“F*ck! This is possible?”
Upon seeing this, Wang Yu was shocked speechless. As money-minded as he was, to think that Fearless was even able to exploit the money of the Librarian.
The on-looking passersby were even more shocked at this scene.
With the existence of the forum, the Easter eggs within the games were naturally made known to all of the players. Thus, the purpose of the existence of the Librarian was no longer a secret.
However, everyone also knew how scary the Librarian was…
This fellow was infamous for always demanding for money. So long as a player dared to ask him a question, he would demand for it… If you refused to pay, the system would forcefully deduct the amount from your balance. Therefore, the more questions you ask, the more you would have to pay.
Who would have thought that today, someone would be able to take money from this person’s hands? Heck, this was simply an act of god!
The Assassin that was constantly observing Wang Yu’s duo was also stunned silly at this scene…
A while later, they send a message back to Big Bear Deng Deng An, “Boss, you have no idea what we just saw. They came to the library and asked the Librarian a question. However, instead of taking their money, the manager returned it to them instead.”
“???” Big Bear Deng Deng An was stunned, “That’s nonsense… right?”
“It’s true…” The Assassin replied with certainty, “I think that the Librarian is a key to completing the quest.”
“That makes sense!” Upon hearing this, Big Bear Deng Deng An pondered over the matter before agreeing to it. He hurriedly added, “Wait for me, I’ll be there instantly!”
…
Just when the Assassin and Big Bear Deng Deng An were conversing, Fearless indifferently replied the manager, “Arthur, the old stonesmith of Twilight City.”
“He doesn’t exist!” Without a second thought, the manager instantly replied with just this sentence.
“Doesn’t exist? Surely you have gotten it wrong! This stone slab clearly says that…”
Upon hearing the words of the manager, Wang Yu refuted the manager’s statement in dissatisfaction and took out the stone slab.
“Relax!”
Fearless raised the staff in his hand and calmly held Wang Yu back, before saying, “He merely said that his location doesn’t exist, it doesn’t mean that this person doesn’t exist. After all, he is an old stonesmith. For all we know, he may have already been dead long ago. Leave it to me!”
As he was speaking, Fearless once again tossed the money pouch in his hands and asked, “Tell me the location of the old stonesmith of Twilight City, Arthur!”
“Which one?” the manager asked once more.
“Hehe!” Fearless once again revealed a crafty smile.
“Pah!”
The manager ruthlessly slapped the money pouch back into Fearless’ hands.
Upon seeing the actions of the manager, Fearless replied conceitedly, “The Stonemason that lives in Twilight City.”
Fearless weighed the money bag in his hand and said, “You don’t understand, a small fly can still be considered meat!”
Wang Yu, “…”
“42 Southern Street!”
After seeing the money that was supposedly his, getting swindled away by Fearless twice in a row, the Librarian was extremely gloomy. He reluctantly muttered a location out to Fearless.
Let’s go!!
After receiving the location, Fearless placed a marker on the minimap before leaving the Library.
Just when the two of them were walking towards the door, Wang Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks and pointed at a corner, before saying, “If you, brat, continue to follow us, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“???”
When the surrounding players heard Wang Yu’s words, they were instantly confused by his actions, and thought that Wang Yu had some mental problems. Otherwise, why would he be talking to a corner of the walls? Was he bullying the wall just because it could not retaliate?
However, the moment Wang Yu left, an Assassin came out of [Stealth] at that exact position, with cold sweat forming all over his neck and forehead…
Wang Yu was the City Lord of Twilight City, with all of the city guards being placed under his command. Killing someone within the safe zone of the city did not have much implication on him and was easily achieved with just a few words.
…
After Wang Yu’s duo left, Big Bear Deng Deng An brought a group of people and arrived in front of the Librarian and asked, “Why were the city walls in the west side suddenly damaged?”
“…” The Librarian was naturally in a foul mood after getting played by Fearless. Upon seeing the rude manner of Big Bear Deng Deng An, he naturally wouldn’t be kind to them. He reached out his hand and gestured with his fingers, demanding money from the group.
The amount of gold in Big Bear Deng Deng An’s inventory -200.
Big Bear Deng Deng An wasn’t surprised at this. Instead, he focused all of his attention to the wise words of the Librarian.
Who would have thought that after receiving the money, the Librarian merely uttered three words, “I don’t know!”
Upon hearing this, Big Bear was infuriated and slammed the table asking, “Are you playing me?”
-200 Gold.
The manager nodded his head and replied, “Yes!”
“I…”
Big Bear was instantly enraged. He took out his sword and was about to hack at the person in front of him.
Upon seeing this, the manager coldly smiled and said, “I’m sure you know of the outcome of killing me.”
“What outcome?”
Big Bear was stunned, gold -200.
“Being chased by the city guards!” The tonality of the manager was very light. The Big Bear in front of him seemed like a small little ant in front of him.
Big Bear clearly knew the might of the city guards, and getting chased by them was definitely not a good thing. Upon hearing the statement of the manager, Big Bear momentarily calmed himself down, before asking with a forced smile plastered on his face, “Did City Lord Iron Bull come here just now?”
-200 Gold.
Yes!” the Librarian replied.
“What did he ask?”
It seemed like Big Bear was not as stupid as he seemed, and quickly caught on the ropes.
However, after having been exploited by Fearless, the intelligence of the manager had increased drastically. He coolly answered, “Two questions!”
“Which two questions?” Big Bear continued asking.
-200 Gold.
The Librarian answered, “Arthur and his descendants.”
“What was the answer?”
-200 Gold.
“A lot!”
“Which two did you tell them?”
-200 Gold.
“None, 42 Southern Street.”
“What the f*ck is that answer?!”
Upon seeing the gold in his inventory getting depleted 200 at a time, with the final two answers that he received being complete nonsense, Big Bear was infuriated to the point of exploding…
-200 Gold.
The manager said, “The answer that you want!”
Big Bear, “I…”
“Hurry up and drag the boss away!” Upon seeing that Big Bear was about to place himself on the chopping board once more, his lackeys hurriedly dragged him out of the Library.
…
At this moment, Wang Yu and Fearless had arrived at the location, 42 Southern Street, which the Librarian had mentioned.
The south side of Twilight City was the most desolate part of the city, and 42 Southern Street was even more isolated. If it were not for the fact that Wang Yu could use the city guards to lead the way, they would probably have only managed to find this location after half a day of searching.
