Chapter 22: A Deal with a Base of 1000 Gold Coins

An Kai and Hanks looked at each other and chose to leave the Split Mountain Gang.

When they passed by the trio, An Kai confirmed that the figure with dishevelled hair was the unlucky guy who had been led by Polpi once to the Rewards Building.

Polpi was a little surprised by the nameplate hanging on An Kai's chest.

He had an impression of An Kai and the others, but he did not expect them to be mages. At least they wouldn't be leeches at the gang.

As for Mage Richardson, who was at the eighth rank of Stage One, he only glanced at An Kai before raising his head and no longer cared about him.

His haughty attitude was clear.

After leaving the Split Mountain Gang, An Kai declined Hanks 'reluctant invitation and went to a tavern on a street of the Split Mountain Gang to check-in.

After meditating for a night, the sun rose.

[Attribute Point +1]

[Endurance +1]

[Endurance: 51]

A warm current flowed through his body, and the attribute points he had obtained from meditation were used by An Kai.

He was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he chose to open the plotline panel in the system to verify his guess.

[1: The Mage Association is confirming the location of the God of mage. They are now looking for clues across the entire continent. Those who provide effective clues will be rewarded handsomely!]

[2: In the Buklin Duchy, the orc forces supported by the First Prince and the dwarf forces supported by the Third Prince have a conflict.]

[3: The fifth princess of the Buklin Duchy is suspected to have appeared in the eastern desert of the Buklin Duchy!]

.

After quickly browsing through the information, An Kai finally found the plotline he wanted on the 48th side quest.

[48: Will Bucklin failed to escape due to hiding the Split Mountain Gang's resources. He was captured and brought back to the Split Mountain Gang's base. His life is on the line!]

"It's true!"

An Kai let out a long breath.

Today's side quest had proven one of his conjectures.

That was because all the sub-plots had happened yesterday.

This included the unlucky fellow who had been captured by the Split Mountain Gang, Will Buklin!

Tsk tsk!

"I refuse to believe this man has nothing to do with the Buklin Duchy!"

The appearance of the side quest further verified An Kai's guess.

The ring that the guy with dishevelled hair had was definitely a storage ring!

Inside were the 200 gold coins that he had stolen from the Split Mountain Gang.

If they were exchanged for low-grade stones, they could be exchanged for about 200 stones!

This was a huge sum of money.

A huge sum of money was enough to make An Kai take the risk.

Over the years, his strength had been steadily rising, and it seemed that he was not in any danger.

In reality, this was not the case.

Not to mention the harsh environment in the desert, a person's power level could not be changed in a short time.

Mage Dong Lin, the Guild Master of the Unnamed Town's Mage Association and a Stage 2 Mage, had once said that he would see An Kai after three years.

An Kai didn't believe that Dong Lin would treat him kindly when he saw him again.

If he wanted to survive the reunion safely, he had to be strong.

His unlimited lifespan gave An Kai enough time to pursue strength.

As long as he had enough resources, he could convert them into his own strength.

Therefore, An Kai didn't want to let go of Will Buklin's 200 gold coins.

This was a big fish, a big fish that was hard to meet.

However, this matter needed to be considered carefully.

After packing up, An Kai ate his breakfast and walked towards the Split Mountain Gang.

When he arrived at the Split Mountain Gang, most of the gang members were still in bed. There weren't many gang members on the 1,000-square-meter martial arts field.

An Kai didn't stay for long and walked towards old man Frank.

He pushed open the door. Frank was already in position.

Facing An Kai's arrival, he was very happy.

The two of them randomly started a chat with their own goals.

It was not until noon that An Kai heard Will Buklin's loud scream again.

After confirming that he would not be beaten to death today, he left the Split Mountain Gang.

Coincidentally, when he came out, he met the Stage 1 mage Richardson again.

"Humph!" Richardson snorted and walked past An Kai.

After returning to the tavern and eating something, he began his meditation for the day.

For the next half a month, his life was stable. Going to and for between the tavern and Split Mountain Gang.

Even Hanks had invited him to go fishing in the desert several times, but he had been rejected by An Kai.

Even when Hanks suggested accepting a bounty mission, An Kai rejected it without thinking.

In half a month, An Kai had gained another ten attribute points.

His four attributes had all reached 53 points.

As time passed, An Kai's wealth decreased.

After all, the cost of staying at the taverns in the city was still very high.

On this day, as usual, An Kai carried a plate of dishes with wine and walked towards the Split Mountain Gang.

In half a month, he had become familiar with Frank.

Every time he went, he would bring some food for Frank.

Frank didn't eat his food for free. He would use some gossip and interesting things about the Split Mountain Gang in exchange for telling An Kai.

"What? Have you come back?!

"What are you doing!"

"Polpi, if you can't find my brother, then prepare to be buried with him!"

At the entrance of the Split Mountain Gang's encampment, An Kai was just about to step in when he heard a furious roar.

Not long after, he saw Polpi leading the group of Split Mountain Gang members into the distance.

One of them was the Stage 1 mage with his eyes on the top of his head.

An Kai dodged to the side and made way for them.

After Polpi and the others left, An Kai carried the food into the Split Mountain Gang's encampment.

After entering, not a single person could be seen!

An Kai inadvertently glanced at the house in the southwest corner. As expected, when Polpi left, he took the guard guarding Will Buklin with him.

This was the right way to do it. After all, Will Bucklin was already heavily injured and only had one breath left to live.

They were still in the Split Mountain Gang's encampment, so the so-called guards were just for show.

Seeing this scene, An Kai smiled. After half a month of waiting, the opportunity appeared!

Reining in his thoughts, An Kai came to Frank's room.

"Sigh! Lord An Kai is here."

As soon as he entered, he saw a dejected Frank. Those who didn't know better would think that his father had died.

No, at his age, his father must have died!

An Kai muttered in his heart and brought food to Frank's side.

He didn't ask about his sigh.

It was obvious that Frank was like this because the leader's brother, Rennes, had not returned. His goal was to wait for An Kai to speak and then trick him into looking for Rennes.

Unfortunately, Frank's trick had long been seen through by An Kai, and it was clear.

No matter how much Frank coughed or sighed, he just stood there and pretended not to know anything.

Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough, cough!

'Cunning fellow!'

Frank gasped and cursed in his heart.

Perhaps it was because An Kai didn't respond to Frank's words. Frank wasn't in high spirits that day.

After half a day, they didn't say much.

An Kai couldn't wait for this to happen. He stood up and left.

After leaving the Split Mountain Gang, he did not return to the tavern.

Instead, he chose to go straight to Hanks 'house.

When An Kai arrived, Hanks was sweating profusely as he opened the door. His face was flushed, and he was panting slightly.

"Eh? Why are you here?

"If you have something to say, say it. Don't disturb my daily life!"

An Kai looked at Hanks and thought, 'Isn't this old thing afraid of intense exercise?'

However, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. Today, he had something important to do!

"Hanks, I have a deal for 1000 gold coins. Do you dare to do it?"
