Chapter 217 Chapter216-Complete Map of the Godslayer Continent (2nd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
The Treasure Thief Rat was livid, exclaiming with indignation, "Devious humans! How dare you set a trap for me?"
John's smile was brilliant and unwavering as he leisurely responded, "Well, that's not entirely true. I merely pointed you in a direction; it was you who chose to look that way."
The rat's face twisted into a very human-like expression of fury.
Its tiny rodent visage seemed at odds with its rotund and stout body.
It looked as if it would love nothing more than to leap at John and scratch deep marks across his face.
However, a deep-seated instinct held the Treasure Thief Rat back.
The reason was clear: the rat, with its acute sense of smell, detected a faint but unmistakable aura of danger emanating from the young man before it.
John had meticulously concealed his aura.
For any other being, even those of Demigod Level, discerning John's true power would be impossible.
Yet the Treasure Thief Rat was different.
It had an innate sensitivity to all kinds of auras.
Despite John's perfect concealment, the rat could still catch a whiff of the impending danger.
John stood still, arms crossed, his smile tinged with a hint of menace that kept the Treasure Thief Rat completely immobilized.
Soon after, Adam and Blue Sea, who were a distance away, finally rushed over.
They leapt gracefully from their mounts, their faces lit up with smiles as they approached John and the captive rat.
Even before they fully arrived, Adam's boisterous laughter echoed, "Hahaha! Who would've thought, Galewind? Your scheme actually worked! I've already received the system notification..."
Blue Sea, too, wore an elated grin on his face, seemingly thrilled at their unexpected windfall.
Even for these two high-ranking divine players, the occasion was undeniably thrilling.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, John turned to the Treasure Thief Rat with a playful smirk, saying, "Shall we commence our transaction now?"
The Treasure Thief Rat responded with a reluctant huff but then, in full view of the trio, unveiled its treasury.
A plethora of equipment item descriptions materialized before the trio, a dazzling display that was almost overwhelming to behold.
But the information on the very first item was enough to make the eyes of the other two shine, with only John remaining unfazed:
[Map of the Godslayer Continent (legendary item): Drawn by the Treasure Thief Rat during its countless years traversing the Godslayer Continent. This detailed map accurately marks all the uncharted areas, even detailing the levels and attributes of monsters within. Various regions are color-coded by danger levels: yellow for safe areas, orange for moderately dangerous zones, red for high-risk regions, and black for the absolute forbidden territories. This map is priced at 5 million gold coins, stock: 1.]
Blue Sea and Adam exchanged glances, understanding better than anyone what this map signified.
This was a comprehensive map of the entire Godslayer Continent.
Given the vast expanse of the Godslayer Continent, without this map, players would have to rely on their own explorations.
It would probably take several major game updates, spanning over years, to discover the entirety of the continent.
Although the game 'Godslayer' had only been out for a few months, it had already undergone several major version updates.
Yet, even with these updates, players' active territories were still confined to the northern part of the Godslayer Continent.
Possessing the detailed map of Godslayer Continent would mean one could anticipate unopened realms, understanding what kinds of bosses and resources lay in wait.
For Blue Sea and Adam, leaders of top-tier guilds, this held an unparalleled allure.
But the price tag was staggering—5 million gold coins, which translates to a whopping two hundred million yuan.
To spend such an amount on a map item with no additional abilities is something an ordinary solo player would never contemplate.
Only top-level guilds, with their deep pockets, could consider such a visionary investment.
"To be honest," Adam said with a wry smile, "this map is invaluable to us. But the price... It's not that I can't afford it. I just don't have that amount on hand right now."
Even as the leader of the Genesis Guild, it was implausible for Adam to casually tote millions of gold coins.
And with the urgency of the deal, rallying his members to pool together such a sum might be too late.
John, stroking his chin, nonchalantly suggested, "If it's really beyond your means, why don't the two of you combine what you have? And if it's still short, I can lend you some."
John's proposition was immediately met with approval.
Blue Sea and Adam showcased the gold coin counts from their inventories and, realizing they were only short by a few tens of thousands, turned hopeful eyes towards John.
John offered a slight smile, immediately transferring the remaining gold coins to Adam's account via a private transaction.
From the side, Blue Sea remarked languidly, "Remember, this map is a shared asset between our two guilds. Guild leader Adam, don't betray the trust I've placed in you."
Adam rolled his eyes in response, retorting, "Spare me the nonsense. Do you take me for some petty cheat? "
"And to purchase this detailed map of Godslayer Continent, I've expended one of my precious trade opportunities. You better compensate me adequately later."
Blue Sea laughed heartily, patting his chest in reassurance. "Relax, if we come across any items beneficial for both our classes in the future, I'll prioritize those. I won't let your trading opportunity go to waste."
Feeling reassured, Adam proceeded with his trade with Treasure Thief Rat.
At the steep cost of 5 million gold coins, he acquired the singular Godslayer Continent map, of which only one existed.
Once the trade concluded, Treasure Thief Rat's expression finally relaxed.
Pocketing 5 million gold coins brought immense satisfaction to this peculiar creature, whose intellect surpassed even that of humans.
By nature, his kind had a profound love for gold.
One glance at his attire and the small shovel he previously wielded revealed his exaggerated obsession with the precious metal.
"Brother Galewind, aren't you interested in the map of the continent?" Carefully tucking the map into his backpack, Adam looked at John with a hint of surprise.
John slowly shook his head, speaking nonchalantly, "For a solo player like me, that thing isn't particularly useful."
"Besides, many areas of the system are still locked. Even if I knew in advance, there's not much I could strategically plan on my own."
Adam and Blue Sea nodded in agreement, a hint of envy visible on their faces.
They truly wished they could be like John, roaming the gaming world as solo players, moving wherever the wind took them, engaging in whatever quests they fancied.
Unfortunately, their roles as guild leaders meant they couldn't indulge in such freedoms.
Every action they took had to prioritize the interests of their respective guilds.
"A serious issue has arisen," Adam suddenly remarked, a touch of annoyance directed at Blue Sea.
"After buying that map, we've nearly depleted all our gold coins. What about your trade opportunity? I wonder if there's still time to gather coins from the guild for a transfer."
Blue Sea's brow furrowed as he realized the gravity of the situation.
At that moment, John wore a serene smile, gently saying, "Don't worry, it's not as dire as you think. Trading with Treasure Thief Rat isn't limited to gold coins. "
"In fact, gold coins sometimes offer limited purchasing power. Beyond them, bartering with items is also an option."
"It's Treasure Hunter Merchant! Damn it, how could you butcher my glorious name? 'Treasure Thief Rat' sounds horrendous! Correct it immediately!" Treasure Thief Rat exclaimed, hopping madly in indignation.
John gave him a mere sidelong glance, and immediately, the creature swallowed whatever rebuke it had been about to spit out.
Though John's eyes still twinkled merrily, to Treasure Thief Rat, they seemed to contain an infinite threat of impending doom.
Meanwhile, Blue Sea and Adam were too engrossed to care about anything else.
Their entire attention was fixated on the attributes and information of the upcoming items:
[Backpack Expander (legendary item): Crafted by dwarven masters using a unique spatial energy gem, this item draws power from the void. Once placed in the backpack, it immediately expands its capacity by an extra 300 slots. Price: Item equipment of equivalent value or 6 million gold coins. Stock: One piece.]
It was yet another item with attributes that defied convention.
Both Adam and Blue Sea's eyes sparkled brightly, almost as if they wished to purchase it on the spot.
Not just them, even John, who stood aloof, found his interest piqued by the backpack expander.
An item that could add 300 extra slots was undeniably tempting for any player.
