A group of Novice Village players pointed and whispered about Xiao Wen.
Unlike before, there was no mockery in their eyes—only awe.
Not long ago, the guild administrators who had previously caused trouble for Xiao Wen had issued statements one after another, claiming that their conflicts with him had merely been misunderstandings. They hoped to reach an agreement peacefully and had no desire to resolve matters through violence.
It was only a statement, and there was no admission of fault between the lines.
Yet the players understood perfectly well.
The leaders of those guilds had backed down!
The forces represented by these people were far more than just one or two guilds. Behind many of those guilds stood King-tier and even Emperor-tier players!
What kind of person was this Halfway Through the Mortal World, to make such figures yield?
At the very least, he was not someone ordinary players like them could afford to provoke.
As the players stepped aside one after another, Xiao Wen's path became much smoother. He walked over to Yaxu on his own.
"Young Warrior, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. What news do you need me to deliver this time? Don't worry, we're old friends. Even though communication costs have gone up, your price remains the same—five gold coins per message. How about it?"
The moment Yaxu saw Xiao Wen, his face broke into a broad smile.
This was a major spender!
The last time they had done business over posting news, he had earned a sizable information fee.
Now that this man had come again, how could he not be enthusiastic?
Xiao Wen returned the smile. "Boss, this time I'm planning to introduce you to a big deal—an even bigger one than before. I wonder if you're interested in taking it."
