Lawless, who had been waiting, replied at once—

Lawless: 10,000 Points, half paid in advance. The other party covers all expenses. I take none of the instance proceeds. The only requirement is that the main quest must be completed successfully—and you must have cleared no more than four instances!

2567: That generous?

Lawless: It's not generous. That guy's a profiteer. How could he possibly let you take advantage of him?

Lawless: Last time, you sold two [Iron Fist-II] rocket launchers. You got 10,000 Points and 5 Skill Points from Steam City! You got 4,000 Points, 2 Skill Points, the [Basic Medicine Crafting Station Blueprint], and a [Solo Instance Cooldown Accelerator Card] from me!

Even if you crafted the [Basic Medicine Crafting Station], you should still have one Expert-level skill and one Mastery-level skill by now!

Lawless: What's more, you just sold a whole pile of [Gems], enough to give you another two Expert-level skills!

Lawless: Of course, that guy doesn't know about that yet!

Lawless: Still, 10,000 Points to hire a "mercenary" with an Expert-level skill is a fairly reasonable price!

Lawless's clear-cut calculations made Qin Ran shrug helplessly.

No one liked having their background laid bare.

But Lawless was different. As one of only two veteran players Qin Ran had traded with, he had even introduced Artisan to Qin Ran.

With a little thought, Lawless could use the Points and Skill Points to infer Qin Ran's general strength.

The only thing he could not get a handle on was what Qin Ran had gained inside the instances.

And that was
