Chapter 509 - 508: Infinite Stream Cannon Fodder: Holiday Cruise 15
Not long after, the adventurers all learned that last night they could have asked the cruise staff to prepare gowns and accessories, and everyone was full of regret.
Those with money were still composed, but those without regretted not having thought of this sooner.
On the last day, when stuck on the matter of gowns, if they couldn’t pass the level, it would be quite a loss. They knew well that to persist until today, they’d not only expended effort but also many resources and nearly depleted all they had. If they could pass and get rewards, that little loss wouldn’t matter, but now they faced this situation.
Later they heard that some people had gowns prepared by NPCs, and were tempted, trying every trick in the book to cozy up to the NPCs in hopes they could obtain gowns. It wasn’t that the female adventurer went around telling this; rather, their actions were noticed by others. The female adventurer wasn’t the secretive type who covered everything up; if people discovered something, she didn’t mind.
In actuality, quite a few people in the dungeon were like this.
Unfortunately, establishing good relations with NPCs on the last day proved to be difficult.
The NPCs here weren’t some artificial intelligence; they had been real people before. A few sweet words weren’t enough to fool them. Whether they agreed to help with gowns depended entirely on their feelings and preferences. The adventurers had seen such situations many times and wouldn’t evoke any sympathy.
Given the current situation of these adventurers, it was hard for them to appear appealing enough for the NPCs to willingly provide gowns, so naturally, they didn’t succeed.
Unknown to the adventurers, someone approached Ah Chen, hoping Ah Chen could help them. Flattering words and promises of no cost came from their mouths.
However, mere flattery and promises were truly worthless.
The chance of encountering a random dungeon next time was very slim; surely, they were aware that even if they broke their word, there was nothing Ah Chen could do about them. Thus, it seemed they weren’t sincere.
Someone noticed Ah Chen’s silence and realized that this was taking advantage of her.
"Boss Li, if you could lend a hand, I’d be willing to offer seventy percent of the rewards upon passing," one adventurer spoke up.
Ah Chen replied, "Getting the gown doesn’t guarantee you’ll pass. If you don’t pass, wouldn’t that be a loss for me?"
She studied the adventurer before her more closely; this person had clear eyes, likely not someone insincere. Offering her seventy percent of the reward seemed genuine.
Sure enough, when she said this, the adventurer’s face reddened, realizing it was somewhat shameful.
But they were at the final level, and giving up now would truly be a loss.
"Ask him if he can revive after failing," Bai Chao’s voice whispered in Ah Chen’s ear, suggesting there might be a way.
Without much hesitation, Ah Chen asked, "If you fail this time, can you revive?"
Revival naturally required a Resurrection Card; the adventurer likely didn’t have many in their possession. If they could afford a second Resurrection Card, they wouldn’t have come pleading to her. What she meant was whether the adventurer’s first Resurrection Card was still unused.
"I can revive; my Resurrection Card hasn’t been used," the adventurer answered quickly, feeling a glimmer of hope.
"If you’re willing to help this person once, then swear an oath with the Main God, agreeing on the rewards distribution. If they fail to pass this time, you can agree to the distribution of rewards if they pass after; how it’s split, you both decide. Once the oath is sworn with the Main God, the rewards will automatically be transferred to you; no one can break the oath in the world of the Main God. If they continue to fail passing, let them transfer half of their Soul Power to you," Bai Chao whispered again, "Rest assured, it won’t be in vain."
The voice was low yet audible to everyone, who thought that Bai Chao was a shrewd trader, extracting a price even in failure.
But it must be said that it seemed fair for Boss Li.
Ah Chen didn’t care much for those rewards, but her mission target was Wei Wenlan, who definitely needed them.
Wei Wenlan was not a foolish person, but navigating smoothly through such a dungeon was almost impossible.
According to her estimates, Wei Wenlan might face difficulties in the dungeon, but with more tools and money, their chance of passing would greatly increase.
"I can help you prepare the gown, but we have to make some agreements, all witnessed by the Main God, meaning oaths must be sworn. You’ve heard what was said earlier; if you’re willing, we can discuss this thoroughly." At this point, Ah Chen paused, "If you pass this time, I’ll take only forty percent of the reward, but you must agree to one thing for me."
Naturally, if they encountered Wei Wenlan, they mustn’t harm Wei, even if they couldn’t offer help.
Among the adventurers before her, half were delighted, thinking the offer was already generous, while the other half felt somewhat reluctantly but bit the bullet and agreed as it was their last option.
Ah Chen didn’t care if they were willing or not. As long as the oath was sworn, they would be bound by the Main God’s rules and forced to keep their promises.
Other things didn’t matter to her.
Ultimately, the adventurers who approached Ah Chen signed a contract with her, swore an oath with the Main God, and after swearing, obviously felt more constrained, understanding they couldn’t go back on it, lest they face dire consequences no one would dare to test.
Originally, Ah Chen planned to spend money to buy gowns in a shopping street, but Bai Chao mentioned he was friends with the gown store owner, and thus led them all over.
At such times, he naturally had to show off; opportunities like this were rare!
The adventurers looked complicated; so this was the difference between ordinary folks and bosses, huh? Look at Bai Chao, a heartless trader among them, yet before Boss Li, he seemed pleased to suffer losses. Truly a double standard!
Soon, other adventurers who went to buy gowns learned of this. Upon learning the conditions for Ah Chen’s help in preparing gowns, they didn’t feel envious at all.
Better to buy themselves. From their calculations, the rewards after the dungeon are bound to be generous.
At five in the afternoon, a makeup artist arrived to prepare Ah Chen.
At seven-thirty, Ah Chen arm-in-arm with Bai Chao appeared at the ball scene.
The ball started at eight; they were resting on sofas around the dance floor.
It was lively here, mostly NPCs present.
With Ah Chen’s help, those who couldn’t prepare their own gowns were now dressed and inside.
Already starving, they quickly grabbed desserts to eat; once inside, they could eat anything offered, and finally, their stomachs were no longer empty.
At eight o’clock, the doors closed, and beautiful music played; many NPCs danced gracefully in the dance floor.
At that moment, the broadcast sounded: "Lucky ones, invite your partners to the dance floor for some joy. Those without partners in ten minutes will be expelled from here."
