18 Deal Done

"Is that so? I'll sell the equipment your guild dropped to someone else then," Su Jin glanced at Scarlet Rose and hung up the video call.

It wouldn't be a problem for Su Jin to sell the low-grade equipment. After all, he was the one who defeated those players and got the equipment they dropped. Not only would he earn a lot of money from selling it, but he could also get it back and sell it to someone else if he and his buyers were enemies in the future.

Su Jin took the initiative to call Scarlet Rose because she didn't ally with the other three guilds. The other reason was Su Jin wanted to call Scarlet Rose.

However, since Scarlet Rose refused to negotiate, Su Jin decided not to sell it. He did not need to worry about finding a buyer for the equipment.

Su Jin was calm and casual after hanging up. It was a pity that he had to sell it to other sole players. He needed to set up his stall. It wasn't as convenient as selling it to a guild as a whole. However, spending some time selling the equipment wasn't a big deal.

Meanwhile, Scarlet Rose couldn't snap herself out of the shock she had after the call. She was dumbfounded.

She began to recall what Heavenly Cloud had said.

Scarlet Rose realized that she had rejected Heavenly Cloud's offer to sell the equipment to them.

The deal Heavenly Cloud mentioned was not some disgraceful deal. It was a deal of purchasing back the guild's equipment.

Scarlet Rose's face flushed red. After hesitating for a few seconds, she chose to call back. Losing dignity was a small matter. The strength of the guild was more important.

The equipment dropped by the players from the four guilds had decreased their overall strength.

However, if the other guilds bought the equipment, the Rosette Guild could not snatch the perfect leveling points in the future anymore.

Scarlet Rose wondered if she could grab a whole leveling point for her players to level up in the future without the equipment.

No matter what, Scarlet Rose decided to purchase back their equipment. It was best if she could buy the equipment of other guilds as well. She would rather have them stored in their guild than give them to their enemy.

Just as Su Jin was about to spread the news on the regional chat channel, he received a video call.

Looking at Scarlet Rose's profile picture above the dialer's ID, Su Jin pondered for a moment and decided to answer, "Yes?"

Looking at Su Jin's sudden change in attitude, Scarlet Rose took a deep breath. Then she smiled and spoke, "There was a tiny misunderstanding just now. I thought you wanted me to sleep with you, so my attitude towards you was a little harsh. Please forgive me for my rude attitude."

"Is the deal still on?"

"I've already informed my subordinates to prepare gold coins. The Rosette Guild has sufficient money to purchase the equipment. We will buy them no matter how much you want to sell them for."

"Can we meet up and seal the deal?"

Scarlet Rose didn't give Su Jin a chance to speak. After she quickly finished speaking, she looked at Su Jin and blinked her bright eyes.

"Heavenly Cloud, you have slain me just now. As an expert player, you wouldn't go back on your word, right?"

"I apologize for my attitude just now, okay?"

"Please sell the equipment to me."

Scarlet Rose pouted her lips and fluttered her eyelashes. She was trying to win Su Jin's pity.

Su Jin lifted his eyebrows and tried not to grin. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I can sell the equipment to you. Let's meet at the Novice Village."

"Prepare the gold coins. I'll sell it to someone else if I am not happy with your offer."

"I don't wish to have the chance to get the equipment back after selling them to you."

Su Jin chuckled as he warned. He then hung up the video call and headed towards the Novice Village.

With his current strength, he wasn't afraid of being surrounded. Moreover, he had just slain those guild players.

Meanwhile, Scarlet Rose quickly put out an order, asking her members to gather as many gold coins as they could.

Most of what she had said was true, but she lacked a little supply of gold coins.

"President, I've already passed down the order. I'll bring all the units in our store here. Xiao Meng has already gone to the village entrance to collect gold coins from the solo players. She'll pay a 10% premium for them. Is that alright?"

Shui Tianer, the vice president of the Rosette Guild, had appeared out of nowhere and approached Scarlet Rose from behind.

"No... no problem. How long have you been here?" Scarlet Rose froze as she stammered.

Scarlet Rose had looked for a hidden place to make a call. She couldn't understand why someone could eavesdrop on her.

"Not long ago, I happened to hear you and Heavenly Cloud talking. You've sacrificed too much for the sake of the guild, president. Why don't you seduce Heavenly Cloud? Perhaps you'll be able to recruit an outstanding player like him to our guild. Heavenly Cloud plays well. You won't be at a disadvantage."

Shui Tianer giggled as she spoke.

She had naturally been following behind Scarlet Rose for quite some time. Although she had calmed down the guild members' emotions quite a bit, they still needed to increase their benefits in the future to win their hearts back. Shui Tianer had never thought she would overhear something like that.

Scarlet Rose was unhappy. She held Shui Tianer's arm and said, "Hey, didn't you say you would protect me when we fought? Why do you sound so excited when you want me to seduce Heavenly Cloud? Huh!"

"We have a serious business relationship with Heavenly Cloud. Nothing more. If those three guilds allied and attack us, we'll be in trouble."

Although Rosette Guild was powerful, it still did not have the power to monopolize the other three guilds.

Scarlet Rose and Shui Tianer played around for a while. Then they took a few core administrators to the entrance of the Novice Village to wit for Su Jin.

"I wonder what equipment Heavenly Cloud will sell to us."

"I think maybe only the low-grade equipment. That will be fine too. It'll at least increase our strength, and we will be able to deal with other guilds."

On the way to their meeting point, Scarlet rose briefed the situation to them. The other administrators all knew what they were going to do.

When they were at the village entrance, Su Jin arrived there too. He was fiddling with a few pieces of equipment in his hands as he walked.

These extra pieces of equipment were the contributions of the guild players he met on the way back.

Su Jin did not want to waste them. So, he kept them.

"Heavenly Cloud, we are here," Shui Tianer smiled as she waved her hand. From her expression, one could only see that she was happy as if Heavenly cloud hadn't killed them.

Scarlet Rose wanted to remain expressionless. However, after hesitating for a while, she smiled too.

Both sides met.

Su Jin looked around and didn't waste any more time. He immediately opened the trade interface and handed over the two pieces of bronze equipment he wanted to trade.

Noticing that he had three silver treasure chests in his backpack, he opened them and took out a silver ring with a restoring health attribute. He decisively put it on, leaving the other two pieces of silver equipment that he couldn't use for the time being.

Afterward, Su Jin dragged over a few hundred pieces of low-grade equipment and sold them all.

"You are even selling us bronze equipment?"

That surprised Scarlet Rose, and the smile on her face was brighter.

Shui Tianer and the other administrators evaluated the items. After roughly looking through them, they gave their price, "A total of 80,000 gold coins."

Based on the market price, these pieces of equipment were worth around 60,000 gold coins.

However, they offered a higher price to win over Heavenly Cloud. After all, there were no eternal enemies in this world. Only benefits were forever there.

On the other hand, the Rose Guild bought them all at a high price to prevent Heavenly Cloud from selling the equipment to other guilds. Selling the equipment to other guilds would only increase their strength and put the Rosette Guild in danger.

"Well, deal done," Su Jin nodded slightly and pressed the "confirm" button. Then, he obtained 80,000 gold coins.

It would bring Su Jin a fortune of 150,000 dollars if he converted the 80,000 gold coins into money!

It was much more than any job would pay.

However, the average player could not get that many gold coins unless they reached Su Jin's level.
