Song Jian broke into a slight grin, charging towards the few remaining weakened monsters with his sword. Within moments, horrifying screams erupted as each monster fell, with equipment and supplies scattering all over the ground.

“Man, this is something you’d only see in dreams, hahaha!” Tang Rong’s eyes sparkled as he burst into laughter, taking in the multitude of items on the ground, each emitting its own radiant glow.

“We really owe Brother Song for this one.” Wang Qi’s face displayed sincere gratitude.

“Let’s split the gear first.” Song Jian suggested, smiling.

“Brother Song, you should choose first. After all, you took down most of these creatures on your own. We’ll take what you don’t want…” Tang Rong offered, his face beaming.

Before, Tang Rong had been upset that Song Jian demanded so many items, but now it was clear that Song Jian could have cleared the entire dungeon alone. They were practically unnecessary.

Then, I won’t hold back.” Laughing, Song Jian quickly picked up a level 15 silver quality gauntlet, replacing his own ‘Zombie Leader Gauntlets’.

‘Bloody Thug Gauntlets (Silver) Leather Arm Guard. Equipment level: 15. Effects: Defense +8, Resistance +4, Agility +3, Armor Break +2, Dexterity +2. Attack speed increase: 20%. Special effect: Bloodthirsty Fury (passive). When you inflict damage on the target, there’s a chance to trigger Bloodthirsty Fury, increasing attack speed by 50% for 6 seconds. This effect can trigger only once every 5 minutes. Equipment requirement: Level 15. Available to take out of the game: No.’

This equipment could have been used by Rogues, but there was no hesitation in Song Jian’s eyes when he saw it. Besides, Tang Rong, who watched enviously from the side, had no other choice.

Well, I’ll just take this one. You can split the rest among yourselves.” Song Jian gave a quick glance at the remaining items, shaking his head.

“Brother Song, are you sure you don’t want any more? There are still two silver quality items left…” Wang Qi asked, his face filled with surprise.

“Enough, I have no use for the other two items.” Song Jian responded, shaking his head.

“Brother Song, you’re really generous!” Wang Qi beamed, giving him a thumbs up. “Tang Rong, why aren’t you thanking Brother Song yet? There’s a silver-quality dagger right here!”

“What, a silver-quality dagger?” Tang Rong’s whole body quaked; he had been so focused on the silver gauntlet Song Jian picked up, that he had barely noticed the other items they got.

Hearing about the silver-quality dagger made Tang Rong’s heart start thumping wildly. “Brother Song, are you really giving us this piece of equipment?” Tang Rong asked, hardly able to believe it.

“You take it, I have no use for a Rogue’s dagger.” Song Jian said, smiling.

In actuality, a level 15 silver quality weapon, especially a dagger, thrown into an auction house, could easily get tens of thousands of Doomsday Coins. However, Song Jian didn’t want to appear too greedy while running a dungeon with his friends. He would only demand what was suited for him. He wouldn’t intentionally hoard equipment just for a few tens of thousands of Doomsday Coins.

Eagerly, Tang Rong began using the dagger. His damage instantly skyrocketed, leading him to chuckle to himself in satisfaction

“There’s a silver-quality one-handed hammer left. Ma Yu, do you want to take it?” Wang Qi glanced at the other silver-quality item, hesitant to suggest.

“I’ll take it. I have the Blunt Weapon Mastery skill, hehe.” Ma Yu’s face broke into a hearty grin.

“Zhou Qing, you can take this blue quality priest’s robe and leggings.” Wang Qi directed.

“Alright.” Zhou Qing agreed enthusiastically, having not received a single piece of equipment until now, he suddenly found himself in the possession of two level 15 blue quality pieces of equipment

“I’ll stash the remaining items for now. We can sell them later and then split the money.” Wang Qi had assumed the role of team leader and quickly stowed all the leftover loot again.

“Phew, this game is so bleak and oppressive. If it weren’t for the thrill of getting new equipment, I’d have quit playing.” Zhou Qing caressed his newly-acquired priest’s robe, a wistful expression on his face.

“Then you can go on vacation in real life, you know. Jiuzhaigou, Hainan – these are good places to go and admire the beautiful scenery…” Wang Qi felt obliged as a team leader to lift his teammates’ spirits and quickly suggested.

“Hmm, that’s not a bad idea… But I’m broke, 1 can’t afford to go!” Zhou Qing’s face immediately fell at the suggestion.

Wang Qi was momentarily flustered; his attempt at encouragement backfired, leaving his teammate more depressed. “Well, 1 think the fountain park in the city isn’t that bad…” he quickly offered.

“What the hell, team leader! There’s a huge difference between Jiuzhaigou, Hainan, and a park fountain!” Ma Yu couldn’t help but mock.

“What do you know? I often spend my time near the park fountain…” Wang Qi hurriedly countered.

“Don’t you guys know that game items can be taken into the real world?” Song Jian asked, somewhat baffled.

“Yes, we do know. Last time I found an awl that I could take out of the game.” Zhou Qing admitted with a melancholic expression on his face. “But what use do I have for an awl? I was so furious that I just tossed it.”

“Items in the game with the attribute to be taken out are rare the more valuable the item, the rarer the attribute…” Tang Rong chimed in, appearing helpless.

He had always hoped to find a take-out-able dagger, but to no avail.

“In reality, the value of items in the real world doesn’t increase with their rank in the game…” Song Jian glanced around at the group, hesitating to continue.

He was considering how best to explain it without hurting their pride.

“Boss, what do you mean…?” Wang Qi turned to him, puzzled.

“I once found a jewelry store where almost all the gold bracelets were considered junk in the game, but they could all be taken out!” Song Jian blurted.

What? Really, Brother Song?” Zhou Qing jumped up from his spot on the ground, his face flushed with excitement.

“Yes, and I’ve gotten some jewelry before. In the game, they’re considered junk, but in the real world, they could be sold for millions, or even tens of millions…” Song Jian continued.

Zhou Qing and the others exchanged glances, suddenly catching their breath.

“Team leader, do you remember the Central Bank in the city where we were before?” Zhou Qing abruptly shouted.

“Yes, yes, I do. At the time, we only searched the lobby and office areas and found a heap of worthless paper money. But their underground vault…we couldn’t get it open, so we just left…” Wang Qi recounted excitedly.

“Do you think that bank’s vault might have gold bars?” Zhou Qing’s eyes started to sparide.

“Gold bars!” Song Jian’s eyes lit up as well. It was highly plausible!

“After we finish this dungeon, let’s go check that bank vault.” Wang Qi suggested, his excitement palpable.
