"It's like this, warrior. If you want to use the artifact, Special Purification, you will need to pay 500,000 yordle reputation points. Since you have saved my people, we have discussed the terms and conditions. You must pay 50,000 reputation points in one go, and within a year, you must pay the remaining reputation points. Otherwise… " Serbia snickered.
"Otherwise, you will become a slave of us yordles for a period of three years."
Upon hearing the conditions, James Williams was momentarily speechless. Although he knew that the price would be very high, he did not expect it to be 500,000 yordle reputation points. One had to know that he had farmed monsters for a few days in the Misty Forest to obtain 60,000 reputation points.
The yordle people were indeed treacherous and would not suffer any losses. However, was it worth it to spend 500,000 reputation points in exchange for a piece of equipment with super perverse attributes?
The answer was self-evident. "Okay, I promise you."
James Williams nodded after careful consideration. He was ready to take a gamble in the next few days. It was only 500,000 reputation points. He had earned 60,000 in the past few days, it was not impossible to have 500,000 reputation points.
After James Williams agreed, he handed the crimson set to the senior manager, Serbia, and changed into a spare high-level gold set.
"Friend of the yordle people, this upgrade will definitely not disappoint you." Serbia smiled at James Williams. While he may have wanted to show a gentle smile, however, the smile on his face that was covered by his beard made him look treacherous.
"You should know, Mr. Hades, if you had not saved the Azil family and my son, even if you spent one million reputation points, you would not have been able to use our yordle's divine tool, Special Purification," Serbia said to him.
"Thank you so much," James Williams said with an honored look on his face.
However, he was very nervous. Although they were having a good chat, it should be known that there was only a 60% chance of synthesizing a high-level diamond set. If he failed, he would really lose everything. Not only would he lose the high-level diamond crimson set, but he would also owe the yordles 450,000 reputation points.
"So, friend, what equipment do you wish to synthesize with this crimson set? Is it a piece of armor? A pair of boots? Or a weapon for battle?" Serbia said to him.
"I think I'll go with synthesizing an equipment set."
James Williams thought about it and made a decision. Right now, the crimson set was his greatest asset. If he lost this set, his attributes in all aspects would drop by a large margin.
"Okay, then please wait for good news." Serbia nodded and hurriedly left the hall with the crimson set.
..
After seeing Serbia walk far away, James Williams looked at Bolton and said, "Mr. Bolton, is there still a mission for the Yordle Insurance Company? You should know that I now owe your Yordle Insurance Company 450,000 reputation points."
Although James Williams did not have the confidence in his heart, most of his hopes were now placed on this NPC Bolton who had a good impression of him.
"There are a few missions for the yordle people of Tulas City. Friend, there's this book called the Book of Vows. As long as you can obtain this book, I can probably give you a mission."
Bolton paused for a moment and said, "But the missions in the Book of Vows all have requirements. I want to tell you in advance that if you do not complete the missions in the Book of Vows, it will force you to become our yordles' slave for five years! This is the price for not completing the missions."
"Damn. There's actually such a good thing? Then where is the Book of Vows now?" James Williams quickly asked.
He was not worried about the five-year punishment for not completing the missions. This was an opportunity for him.
If Bolton could get the Book of Vows and issue some high-level yordle missions to him, wouldn't he be able to return the 450,000 reputation points very soon? He had a chance to complete more missions and obtain higher reputation points that could be used to buy things from their yordle shops.
Bolton smiled mysteriously at James Williams. "The Book of Vows is naturally kept in our Yordle Insurance Company, which is also in my father's, Serbia's, office."
Hearing this, James Williams was a little embarrassed. He could not possibly let someone else's son steal his father's belongings for such matters.
Just as he was having a headache, Bolton said, "Friend, please believe me. I don't want you to become our slave. So, please wait for me. I will bring out the Book of Vows."
Bolton gave James Williams a kind smile and hurriedly left the hall. After a while, he sneaked into the hall and saw James Williams. He took out a book made of kraft paper, which was the Book of Vows!
"Most of the yordle missions in Tulas City are in this book."
Bolton opened the thick book with great effort and flipped through the pages to James Williams.
Normal mission: collect the special mechanical parts required by the yordles.
High-level mission: eliminate the demonic forces that invaded the yordles' wood factory.
..
Rare mission: search for minerals in the Demonic Jungle.
..
Special mission: you are temporarily not authorized to view this.
..
Casually flipping through the pages, rows, and rows of neatly written missions were stated. Normal missions were enough to make the major unions scramble for them, while high-level missions could make the entire union go crazy. Rare missions were even more unimaginable to them because reaching this level required a reputation value that they could only dream of.
However, at this moment, in front of James Williams, these missions were all up to him to choose from!
"Friend, I personally suggest that you choose this rare mission: search for minerals in the Demonic Jungle. You don't need to kill monsters for this mission, nor do you need to venture into the depths of the Demonic Jungle and take risks. You only need to use a detector to explore the surroundings of the Demonic Jungle. You will detect the mines in various places, record them down, and you will receive an extremely rich reward."
Bolton suggested to James Williams.
Rare Mission: find the minerals in the Demonic Jungle.
Level: Rare
Description: Find the underground minerals for the yordle people, and you will receive a generous reward from them. The location is the Demonic Jungle and the surrounding area. Of course, the deeper you go, the more abundant the minerals will be.
