Making Money with Others

The person who arrived was Li Mingzhou, a newly hired professional player from the company whom Wang Qian had a brief, unpleasant encounter with.

Hearing his words, Wang Qian chuckled and continued sweeping the floor without saying anything.

That's it? That's the level? A professional player?

In the short time Wang Qian had been sweeping the plaza, several professional players had already approached him.

Normally, the ones sweeping the plaza in uniform were NPC soldiers. Wang Qian's appearance was proof that he could receive quests from the military.

This was a channel they desperately sought, yet their company's professional player started with such words. It seemed the level of Shan Hai was…

…quite worrying.

However, some people were like persistent toads, bothering others even if they couldn't bite.

Seeing that Wang Qian ignored him and instead became more energetic, Li Mingzhou walked up to Wang Qian's cleaning vehicle and directly blocked his path.

Then, he looked at Wang Qian with a mocking expression, clearly intending to annoy him deliberately.

This was the nature of those bothersome toads; they possessed an innate sense of superiority from somewhere.

They always believed the world revolved around them. In their minds, even causing trouble for you was a sign of their favor.

Actually, Wang Qian's initial indifference was to avoid such trouble, but he hadn't expected it to cling to him.

Wang Qian believed that dealing with such people required giving them a profound lesson once and for all, making them want to stay far away.

But he didn't have many good options right now. He needed to resolve the immediate problem first!

He glanced around and quickly spotted a patrol of passing NPC soldiers. Wang Qian waved at them.

With the rank of Sergeant, he already had a certain level of authority. At the very least, ordinary NPC soldiers needed to greet him first.

Seeing Wang Qian's signal, the patrol of NPC soldiers quickly ran over. The leading soldier glanced at the special insignia on Wang Qian's uniform that symbolized his rank, then straightened up and said:

"Sergeant, may I ask what your orders are?"

Wang Qian: "This person is obstructing official duties. Make him leave."

"Obstructing official duties can lead to a detention of up to two hours. Shall I proceed~?"

"Oh!! Max it out!" Wang Qian exclaimed upon hearing such good news. He definitely wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

He hadn't expected his military rank to be so powerful. It seemed this path was indeed the right one.

Li Mingzhou, standing nearby, was stunned. He instinctively tried to run, but the NPC soldiers immediately pinned him down.

"Now he's trying to run. He can be detained for a maximum of 4 hours!" the leading NPC said. He could clearly see Wang Qian's annoyance with Li Mingzhou.

"Max it out! Max it out!"

"Alright, take him away!"

Taking him away meant forcibly taking him. Just as Li Mingzhou was about to say something, a special muzzle device clamped his mouth shut.

At the same time, he discovered his communication system was completely unusable. At this point, he was utterly helpless.

He was dragged away while struggling.

"May I ask your name!"

Since the other party was showing him such respect, Wang Qian naturally wouldn't dismiss him casually. Asking for a name and making a friend cost nothing.

Besides, more friends meant more paths, and perhaps he might need their help with similar matters in the future!

"Chi Xu, Alliance Interstellar Fleet, Sergeant."

"Qian Wang, Fleet Sergeant!"

"Hello! Hello..."

"..."

After a brief conversation to get acquainted, Wang Qian resumed sweeping the plaza, and Chi Xu continued his patrol.

After finishing sweeping the plaza and submitting the quest to Old Huang, one round of daily quests was completed.

In addition to the quest rewards, he received an extra 3000 experience points, 15 gold crystals, one exquisite-grade alloy steel, and a treasure chest.

This was equivalent to completing one and a half extra quests, making the rewards quite generous.

Furthermore, he could complete two such rounds of quests per day, meaning his leveling speed would be far beyond anyone else's.

Wang Qian decided to open the treasure chest later, along with another one. He had already accepted another round of quests and set out.

The first stage of the quest was still collecting ores, the second was killing star beasts, the third was transportation, and the fourth was a dungeon. The overall quest remained unchanged, only the details varied.

For example, the types of ores and star beasts, the destination for transportation, and the quest materials needed for the dungeon.

These variations had no impact on Wang Qian's ability to complete the quests. When it came to the dungeon quest, he contacted the Yu sisters again, arranging to tackle it together.

This time, he planned to clear the remaining 4 dungeon runs in one go, to avoid further hassle.

"Wait for me, I'll try to invite two more people!" Wang Qian still wanted to try his luck. If the party wasn't full, he would be at a disadvantage.

"Why don't you not invite anyone? We'll book the entire party, and we'll pay you the full price for a full party," Yu Xiaoyu said.

Wang Qian: "A rich woman! OK, let's go. I won't let you lose out either. We'll do the Hard difficulty."

I'll try Nightmare difficulty next. But I'll probably need your help. If we can clear it, we'll all make some serious cash."

Wang Qianduo already had a rough plan. Clearing Normal difficulty only gave one gold, and a full party got four gold.

Charging ten gold per person for Nightmare difficulty shouldn't be too much. Even if split three ways, that's 6.6 gold each.

Not to mention the loot from Nightmare, which was far superior to Hard difficulty. They wouldn't be splitting that evenly, either.

After a brief discussion, the Yu sisters immediately agreed to Wang Qianduo's plan.

If the three of them tackled Nightmare difficulty together, Wang Qianduo would take half the profit, with the other half going to the sisters.

Additionally, any equipment they could use would be prioritized for the sisters if Wang Qianduo didn't need it.

After quickly clearing a Hard difficulty dungeon together, they immediately set their sights on Nightmare.

Wang Qianduo could technically clear Nightmare difficulty by himself. After all, he had a 30% HP potion that no one else could comprehend.

Just relying on potions, the monsters in these dungeons wouldn't stand a chance.

But he didn't want to waste them. He didn't know if he could get more of these potions later.

Wasting such late-game potions here would be a colossal waste.

Even if he were a total noob, he wouldn't be that clueless.

"Careful of his cleave! You two just need to hold him. I'll finish him with Chain Lightning when he's at 10%!"

The three of them were facing the final boss. Wang Qianduo's skills were all on cooldown.

Yu Xiaoyu nodded, then fully charged her heavy hammer before slamming it into the ground. A shockwave actually pushed the giant boss back.

This girl played a strength-based mech and chose a heavy hammer as her weapon. Truly...

After Yu Xiaoyu's attack, Yu Xiaoxin followed up immediately, throwing two long spears from each hand. They lodged themselves into the boss's feet.

As the boss stumbled backward, this pinning attack sent it crashing to the ground.

While their skills couldn't control the boss for long due to its strong resistance, the synergy of their unique abilities made the boss fall.

This stun would last quite a while. A boss of this size would take several seconds to get back up.

Even though their damage was a bit "scratchy," they didn't need to deal the damage.

"You two fall back. Watch my Chain Lightning!"

Just as the boss was getting up, Wang Qianduo's Chain Lightning cooldown was ready. A silver arc of electricity shot out, taking down its last sliver of health.

Critical Hit -2010

"We cleared it!"

"I wish I had your damage!"

"Dream on!"

As wealthy women, the Yu sisters' equipment was already quite good compared to average players. Their skill was also slightly better than Wang Qianduo's.

At the very least, their coordination made Wang Qianduo feel inferior.

Wang Qianduo realized he seemed to be below average. Otherwise, why would so many people he encountered have better skills than him?

While clearing Nightmare difficulty together was still a bit of a struggle, it was mostly without incident.

The only thing lacking was coordination, which could be improved with a couple more runs.

And the "incident" was only the final boss. In the first half of the dungeon, Wang Qianduo had learned basic Intelligence skills, giving him enough skills to use.

He didn't give the forest wolves a chance to alert others, and his burst damage against the first two bosses was high enough.

Even if they couldn't wipe them out in one go, the Yu sisters' coordination and damage were more than enough for the finishing blow. The trio combo was perfectly capable of clearing the dungeon.

Furthermore, without the hidden quest, the final boss, a lumbering mechanical monstrosity, was significantly easier. It also lacked its second phase where it took to the skies.

With all these factors combined, the three of them could definitely carry others through the dungeon.

"Carrying Nightmare difficulty runs. 10 gold per person. Only two spots available. Drops go to the captain. Limited spots, first come, first served..."

As soon as they exited the dungeon, Wang Qianduo started advertising in the channel.

But before he could even finish his message, the application requests exploded.

An endless stream of party requests popped up before him, completely different from the first time.

Someone could actually carry Nightmare difficulty? Why wouldn't people check it out!
