The Almighty Ring

”What toy is it? Show me! ”

This fellow had said those words multiple times.
Jiang Fei ’s curiosity soon got the better of him.

”Come, come, come! ”

Smart Tomato dragged Jiang Fei to the corner with no other people.
As they were still in the city, Jiang Fei was not worried if the fellow was trying to play tricks on him.

When Jiang Fei arrived, Smart Tomato peeked around carefully.
Once he was certain no one else was looking, he displayed a screenshot of the game to Jiang Fei.

”A golden treasure chest of Legendary quality! I am sure you haven ’t seen it before! ” Smart Tomato said giddily, full of himself.

”I have actually seen quite a few of those golden treasure chests.
That monster guarding it — can ’t say I have! ”

Jiang Fei rolled his eyes.
He had no idea where this young fellow could have gone to take such a picture.
The golden treasure chest was indeed rare and rather alluring.
However, the tiger next to it was way too intimidating.
It had sharp fangs and ferocious-looking claws, on top of a large, mighty body.
As it was only a screenshot, Jiang Fei could not determine the level of the tiger.
Was this a boss, or simply an elite?!

”Hehe! This is quite the secluded spot.
There are monsters all around it.
I died four times trying to find a safe way in! ” Smart Tomato said.
Again, he seemed as full of himself as before.

”That explains your low level! ”

Jiang Fei nodded.
Most mainstream players were mostly Level 20 and above.
Even the frontliners were around Level 23.
This fellow was only Level 19.
He did not even have a complete set of equipment.
He was basically half-naked.
At first, Jiang Fei could not understand why.
Now, the pieces were falling into place.
This fellow was most determined to approach the treasure chest.
He had not give up, even after dying four times!

”I ’ve got the route sorted out.
The only problem left is that thing in front of the treasure chest.
You look like you ’d be able to fend it off for a while.
What do you think? When we get there, you can distract the monster while I open the treasure chest.
We can split the loot.
I will take eight-tenths of the loot while you take the remainder! ” Smart Tomato said, as he gave Jiang Fei a charitable look.

”Don ’t kid around now.
What a scam! ”

Jiang Fei rolled his eyes and started walking away.

What kind of a joke is this? I fight the damn boss while you open the treasure chest.
What if you ran off with the loot? Not to mention how dangerous the beast looked.
What if I died? Forget about the experience points he had at this level.
Jiang Fei ’s overall equipment was most definitely worth more than a Legendary Quality treasure chest!

Did Smart Tomato really think he was dumb enough to take such a huge risk for this tiny gain?

”Aye, aye, aye… Don ’t leave, brother.
We can talk about this! ”

Smart Tomato tugged at Jiang Fei.

”What is there to talk about? Go do it yourself ”

Jiang Fei glared at Smart Tomato.

”So….
What do you propose? ” Smart Tomato asked helplessly.

In truth, Jiang Fei was not the first person he had looked for.
However, no one would fall for it so easily.
Forget about the ratio of the split.
Nobody would simply trust the other person to open the treasure chest!

”How about we do it this way? You will forget about whatever is inside the treasure chest.
I will buy the treasure chest from you.
Once you bring me to the location of the treasure chest, I will give you two thousand gold coins! ”

Jiang Fei thought for a while before he spoke.
After all, the Legendary Quality treasure chest was rather attractive to him.

”What about the monster? Will I be distracting it? ” Smart Tomato asked.
He was rather convinced.
Although he did not know what was inside the treasure chest, it would be pointless if he cannot even have it in the first place.
Moreover, someone else might discover the location of the treasure chest eventually.
If that happened, he would have lost everything!

Furthermore, two thousand gold coins was not a small sum.
Some guilds could not even gather this much money.
For someone who relied on gaming to earn money for a living, it was a massive sum!
