Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 529 - Hatching the Darkwing Dragon

Regarding hatching the Darkwing Dragon before entering the Realm of Death, Nie Yan didn't hold any extravagant hopes. He was even about to give up, when Guo Huai sent word a Life Crystal had been found!

Nie Yan was elated. He hurriedly called up Guo Huai.

「Someone is selling a Life Crystal?」Nie Yan asked.

「Yeah, we've already made contact with him. That bastard's really greedy. He isn't willing to sell even for 100,000 gold,」Guo Huai said.

50,000 gold was already a sky high price for a Life Crystal. However, the other party still considered Nie Yan's offer too low.

Nie Yan frowned.「How much does he want?」

「I'm guessing he knows we're desperate. That's why he's trying to milk us for as much as he can. He said 200,000 gold, no less, or all negotiations are off. Exchanging equipment is fine too,」Guo Huai said, his eyes flashing with killing intent. 200,000 gold for a Life Crystal? How about you go rot in a hole instead!

「Exchanging equipment...」Nie Yan pondered for a moment, then asked,「What kind of equipment does he want?」Some experts didn't particularly care for gold, since they had plenty of it. At their level, top quality equipment was much more attractive, the kind that couldn't be bought even if you had the money. If they came in possession of a relatively rare item, they generally wouldn't sell it but would rather exchange it for equipment instead.

「Top quality Shadow Priest equipment, and he's picky. That guy's equipment is pretty good too. He has quite a few pieces of Sub Legendary-grade equipment. He even has a Legendary-grade staff,」Guo Huai said.

A Shadow Priest with amazing equipment...? Nie Yan's heart trembled. Shadow Priests were the least played class, with next to no experts. Only two players came to mind, that fellow on the Wind Serpent who attacked Tang Yao and Black Heaven's big brother.「What's that person's name?」

「Black Hell,」Guo Huai replied.

「It really is him. What a small world...」Nie Yan muttered. He didn't expect to meet Black Hell again. A Life Crystal wasn't something that could be obtained purely by luck. A certain amount of skill was required too. The fact that Black Hell had managed to obtain one wasn't strange.

「You know him?」

「He's Black Heaven's big brother.」

「Oh, so it's like that... Since he's an acquaintance, that makes things much easier,」Guo Huai said. Black Heaven was a huge pain in the beginning. But after getting to know everyone, he gradually blended in. Although he was a recluse by nature, he respected people with ability. If Asskickers United was full of trash, he probably wouldn't have stayed for very long. He initially looked down on everyone in the guild. However, after meeting Undying Scoundrel and the others and losing several times to them in one-on-one duels, then witnessing the skill of Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and the rest, his view changed. Afterwards, when everyone got familiar with one another, they realized Black Heaven himself wasn't too bad either. Since Black Hell was his big brother, there was no harm in having him do the negotiations.

「First, see if we have any good Shadow Priest equipment. We shouldn't try taking advantage of him,」Nie Yan said. If he could obtain a Life Crystal, trading away a few pieces of equipment was definitely worth it.

「Nie Yan, can we try recruiting Black Hell? I mean, Black Heaven is already here,」Guo Huai asked.

「It'll be difficult. I've already tried but failed. He seems to have some special attachment to the Dark Hero guild.」
