CHAPTER 54: CHAPTER 54: COERCION AND CONCLUSION

The man in the coat was alone at this moment, but his instincts told him that the Assassin teammate should be nearby.

And the sniper rifle he couldn’t find was likely hidden by this sneaky guy, otherwise, it was hard to explain why he and the others hadn’t seen it in the vicinity.

An item produced in a dungeon by a player cannot be stored in another player’s personal space unless the owner dies, but it can be stolen or traded. He had a sense of what would happen next.

Sure enough, just as the man who could only sit on the rooftop due to physical issues shouted twice, a fairly young voice suddenly came from behind him.

"I did take your weapon. If you want it, you’ll need to trade something for it."

The man in the coat immediately turned his head, but found no one on the rooftop behind him. Clearly, the speaker was still invisible.

"Why are you doing this? We’re teammates! You’re robbing me while I’m down despite how I treated you as a friend!"

The man in the coat said displeasedly toward the direction of his back, feeling extremely unlucky to have such a disgusting teammate.

"Hehehe..."

The invisible man behind him laughed disdainfully upon hearing him.

"Teammates? You have the nerve to mention the word teammate? If it weren’t for the difficult dungeon that made you flip, I remember you planned to screw over a teammate to take his equipment. I’m just changing my plan according to the situation, we’re all the same."

As the invisible man spoke, the man sitting on the rooftop had his face turn ugly because during the preparation stage of this dungeon, he indeed secretly discussed with others to betray a certain low-level teammate with seemingly good equipment, including the now invisible man by his side.

Unfortunately, plans couldn’t adapt to changes; the difficulty of this dungeon far exceeded expectations. The terrifying BOSS made a fierce rush from the start, completely disrupting their plan, rendering all previous discussions futile.

"I was just speaking theoretically, didn’t actually betray him. You’re slandering me!"

The man in the coat argued back to the invisible man beside him, giving himself a reason.

"Tsk..."

The invisible man scoffed again at him disdainfully.

"Stop talking nonsense with me... Trade me some valuable stuff quickly, or you won’t get your beloved weapon back until the end of this dungeon.

I remember the market price of a Fine Layer sniper rifle is quite high, right? Don’t even think about using trash to fool me."

The man urged the man in the coat.

"You..."

The man in the coat was almost pale with anger upon hearing this, but he didn’t dare to ignore this treacherous teammate because as a shooter player, losing an effective weapon would greatly diminish his combat effectiveness, and without a good weapon, his next dungeon would be in danger.

"Alright... alright... I have a Fine Layer ring for the Mage profession, originally intended to trade for equipment. I’ll trade it to you."

As soon as the man in the coat finished speaking, a trade notification appeared before him, clearly, the invisible man beside him initiated a trade request.

Though he felt very frustrated inside, the man in the coat chose to accept the trade invitation and then pulled out a ring from his personal space to begin the trade, where he provided the ring, and the other party exchanged nothing, essentially he gave it for free.

"Alright? A trade between Fine Layers, I have shown a lot of sincerity, now return my sniper rifle."

After the transaction, the man in the coat immediately urged the air beside him.

However, the other person’s greed was not so easily satisfied, as the one who just squeezed a transaction out of him quickly said:

"Not enough, this kind of ring isn’t as valuable as firearms; you’ll need to add something else."

Upon hearing this, the man in the coat’s face turned almost green, and he quickly retorted:

"Don’t push it! I might as well gamble on the upcoming treasure chest!"

While an unpleasant argument happened on this rooftop, Wang Zhifan and the three others in the front had already killed half of the bandits, the progress was much faster than expected.

This was mainly thanks to Wang Zhifan’s exceptional strength. Facing these ordinary bandits was a complete crush, practically wherever he appeared, bandits would instantly die, either their heads parted from their bodies or their torsos split from the chest.

"Is this guy really Lv3? How is he so strong? The buffs I added certainly can’t be that powerful..."

The long-haired black-clothed woman dealing with sparse targets alongside the suit-wearing rifle youth outside the bandits was very surprised. She originally thought Wang Zhifan, the Warrior teammate, was among the weaker ones, but now discovered this guy, who liked to avoid strong enemies, was absurdly powerful, far beyond the capability of a Lv3 player.

"Perhaps this dungeon was so difficult because of him? But at least it’s almost over."

She had this thought flash and then raised her fan to add more buffs to the person slaughtering bandits dozens of meters away, as for the Healing Skill, it was entirely unnecessary since he didn’t appear injured.

The subsequent time in this dungeon was so dull, with Wang Zhifan as the slaughter knife, the suit-wearing rifle youth as firepower support, and the long-haired black-clothed woman as assistance, the trio spent less than ten minutes killing nearly two hundred ordinary bandits assembled for a charge, and then began the more time-consuming pursuit, exterminating the panic-stricken bandits attempting to flee one by one.

Fortunately, a certain limitation seemed to exist in this dungeon, with the panicked and frightened bandits fleeing only inside the camp and not outside, allowing their cleanup to progress relatively quickly.

About half an hour later, after the last fleeing bandit was shot dead at a distance by the suit-wearing youth, treasure chests appeared before each of them, including Wang Zhifan, who also saw a list of reward choices.
