Greed

But he immediately smiled and shook his head.

Impossible.

That kid looked like nothing more than an ordinary high school student scared witless. How could he possibly have the guts or strength for that?

He did not take that strange lunatic seriously at all.

After all, how high could the level of someone daring to farm a Level 13 Dungeon possibly be?

At most, they would be in their teens.

In the world of Professioners, Level-transcending monster farming was rare. Most Professioners only farmed monsters when their level was higher than the Dungeon's level!

Especially after level 10 and Level 20, the attribute boosts gained from every level-up became significantly greater.

And Greedy Wolf was exactly Level 22!

One more level, and he would no longer be able to farm this Dungeon.

Would a Level 22 C-rank Professioner be afraid of some minor character in the teens?

What an international joke!

Although he did not take him seriously.

He still chose to wait here.

Because that kid had interfered with his interests.

Not only had he humiliated the Greedy Wolf Battle Group, he had also disrupted the rules Greedy Wolf had set for collecting fees here.

He needed to publicly execute this person in front of everyone farming Dungeons here!

He would use this reckless kid to establish his authority once again!

And besides...

A trace of greed flashed through Greedy Wolf's eyes.

That person's headgear was actually from the same Wild Boar series.

He had heard that the Wild Boar series equipment dropped in Wild Boar Forest was an exceptionally powerful set.

A few days ago, he and his younger brother Wang Jie had luckily purchased a Level 5 Wild Boar Bracer from an independent player.

If that person's Wild Boar headgear was also a piece of the set, that would be perfect!

After all, ordinary people could generally only gather three pieces of the Wild Boar set.

Though he had money to buy equipment for his younger brother, such items were not easy to find. Even he himself had never gotten one as a drop.

And besides, how could buying compare to robbing in terms of speed?

Wang Jie had already reached Level 8. In his eyes, that leveling speed was already very fast.

More importantly, Wang Jie was a B-rank Shadow Walker Professioner. His potential far surpassed that of Greedy Wolf, his C-rank older brother.

As long as his younger brother could break through to the Bronze tier before the National Examination, their Wang family would truly prosper!

Furthermore, his younger brother was the only B-rank genius at Linhai Fourth Middle School. He could represent the school in the pre-exam special training organized by Linhai City's authorities!

Though Greedy Wolf was merely a hoodlum, he absolutely did not want his younger brother to be looked down upon during the special training because of poor equipment.

Just as he was pondering how to deal with that kid and strip him of his equipment while he was at it.

The Dungeon Crystal ahead suddenly lit up brightly.

A figure enveloped in Dark Gold radiance appeared before everyone.

He wore a savage Wild Boar Mask, his scarlet eyes like burning flames.

He was no longer wearing the black armor from before, but a far more ferocious Wild Boar Armor covered in sharp bristles.

Standing there, he looked like a terrifying Wild Boar Demon God that had emerged from the abyss of hell.

That fierce, violent aura seemed to freeze the very air around him.

Greedy Wolf's eyes instantly lit up.

It was him!

This person was the troublemaker!

He had actually... gotten another piece of Wild Boar series equipment from the Dungeon!

This was simply... wonderful!

He had searched everywhere without success, only for it to fall into his lap!

An incomparably excited and cruel smile appeared on Greedy Wolf's face.

As long as he broke that kid's legs and stripped off all his equipment in public, who else would dare refuse to pay protection fees?

And he could extort two pieces of the Wild Boar King's set from this kid!

If you enjoy this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you do not lose it next time.

His younger brother would definitely shine during the special training as well.

Killing two birds with one stone—this was practically a steal!

The people around them were also discussing the matter, their gazes toward Yang Yu filled with pity and gloating.

They all believed that this strange man was finished.

Greedy Wolf, his face full of excitement, led a group of lackeys toward Yang Yu with a vicious grin, as if Yang Yu were already fish on the chopping block, at his mercy.

The surrounding crowd respectfully moved aside, opening a path for Greedy Wolf.

Even Wang Jie's heart began pounding.

He knew about the set equipment too.

This kid's luck was simply too good!

If he could obtain this kid's equipment, would he not soar straight to the heavens?

With the advantage of two rare set pieces, he would definitely level up at the fastest possible speed and shine during the pre-exam special training!

However, just as everyone believed a bloody crushing was about to unfold.

Something that left everyone dumbfounded happened.

That strange man, who resembled a Demon God, was not even interested in sparing them a glance.

His figure merely flickered slightly where he stood.

"Whoosh!"

In a burst of dazzling light, he vanished from the spot once more and entered the Dungeon Crystal again.

For a moment, Greedy Wolf, Wang Jie, and all the lackeys behind them froze in place.

The vicious smile on Greedy Wolf's face stiffened.

He stared blankly at the empty space and said in confusion, "Th-this is... a Dungeon Cooldown Reset Scroll? Or did this person... get scared of us and use a Teleportation Scroll to run away?"

Either possibility meant one thing.

This kid was rich!

Whether it was a Dungeon Cooldown Reset Scroll or a Teleportation Scroll, both were exceptionally precious strategic-grade items.

Any one of them could sell for hundreds of thousands on the Black Market.

Teleportation Scrolls were even more valuable than their price suggested. Items that could save one's life were difficult to buy even if one had the money.

Anyone who could afford such items must have a family with money to burn!

But judging from the situation, it looked more like a Dungeon Cooldown Reset Scroll.

Greedy Wolf's expression immediately shifted between light and dark.

So... should he keep waiting here or not?

At that moment, Wang Jie behind him had an imperceptible glint flash through his eyes. He spoke up, "Big Brother, it is very possible that he got lucky and received a Dungeon Cooldown Reset Scroll when he cleared the Dungeon just now. But this person's combat strength is not low. He was actually able to solo Wild Boar Cave... I think we should just forget it. There is no need to offend an opponent whose background we do not understand over such a small matter."

Wang Jie's words made Greedy Wolf hesitate even more.

The reason they could throw their weight around in Novice Village was because they knew how to read people.

If they truly offended some big shot they could not afford to provoke, they would have long since been wiped out in one fell swoop.

But seeing such a juicy piece of meat fly away right before his mouth left him deeply unwilling.

Besides, his younger brother was so sensible and always thought of him. He could no longer prepare better things for his younger brother—could it be that he could not even help him complete the set equipment he desperately needed?

Wang Jie watched Greedy Wolf hesitate, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly as he sneered inwardly.

He understood his older brother far too well.

He had said those things on purpose.

It was all to make his older brother take the risk and help him obtain that equipment.

Seeing that Greedy Wolf was still hesitating, he added more fuel to the fire.

"Big Brother, think about it. Although this person seems to only have two pieces of equipment on him, he can solo an Elite Dungeon. His Profession Level must be quite high. Could he be some core member of a major family sent out to gain experience, simply someone who likes to keep a low profile?"

The moment he said that.

Greedy Wolf seemed to be awakened instead, immediately retorting, "Xiao Jie! This time, you are wrong!"

Greed gleamed in his eyes as he analyzed, "A member of a major family? Which member of a major family would come out to gain experience without hiring an entire squad to power-level them? Which member of a major family would have only two rare pieces of equipment? They would already be wearing a full Epic set!"

"And this kid has been alone from beginning to end! He must not have any substantial family background! Do not worry. Just because he can afford to use one scroll does not mean he can afford a second! This time, your brother will definitely get those two pieces of equipment for you!"

A look of "concern" appeared on Wang Jie's face. "Big Brother, we should not take the risk! What if..."

"Say no more, Xiao Jie!" Greedy Wolf waved a large hand, cutting him off. His face was once again filled with confidence and cruelty. "Just wait here. Wait for your brother to bring you good news!"

He turned and roared at all his lackeys, "All of you, hold this place the hell down! The moment that kid comes out, surround him immediately! If anyone lets him get away, I will chop off his legs!"
