Chapter 793 - Using Gold and Money Sect’s Secret Branch

Chapter 793: Using Gold and Money Sect’s Secret Branch
Not far way from Beijing was a small town, and it was rumored that there was a secret branch set up by Gold and Money Sect[1]. Most of the people inside were at Moksha Realm or Inaction Realm, and it was a place that Class One Hall had recently discovered and invaded. Right now, it had already become Class One Hall’s private treasure trove, and only Class One Hall members can get close to that territory.
When Happy snuck near the place, he noticed that the situation was better than he imagined.
Even though the outside world mentioned that Gold and Money Sect’s secret branch had already become Class One Hall’s personal territory, due to Class One Hall’s status in the north, they did not need to place a lot of people to protect this area’s safety.
There were countless elites from different sects moving in and about the town, along with some solo players.
Most of these people came for the loot from Gold and Money Sect.
In the game, the disciples from Gold and Money Sect’s secret branch had extraordinary skills. Some of them used weapons that were made with gold, and they had the effect of breaking defenses. They were very popular among martial artists, to the point they were idolized.
Also, it was said that once a player assembled twelve Gold Hoops, they could assemble the unique weapon, Vajra Arm, which was worth cities.
Vajra Arm was a local specialty in this place. Not only did it have astonishing attack, it was also not inferior to a middle-grade divine weapon. It can also be used as an armor.

When it was used to withstand attacks, six of those Gold Hoops can weaken sixty percent attack. If the player used both arms to block the attack, they can completely negate the damage from their opponent’s attack, but there were few martial arts that complemented Vajra Arm. Once they had a martial art manual that could complement this weapon, they will truly have their combat ability increase by leaps and bounds, and they will jump straight to the ranks of the top-class players in the game.
And as luck would have it, Class One Hall did not forbid selling individual Gold Hoops to the outside world. They also seemed to be encouraging the players in the north to assemble a full Vajra Arm.

To the players, this was a great temptation. They did not have a lot of chances to do so. Hence, this place gained great popularity.
Of course, aside from Vajra Arm, Gold and Money Sect also produced many other things.
The rare drops were Li Xunhuan’s unique throwing knives. The people who carried out quests for Gold and Money Sect’s sect master could get one of these throwing knives. It was considered a consumable divine weapon. It had a one hundred percent accuracy, could destroy defenses, and had shocking damage.
Happy came to this place before in his previous life, and he knew about some of the mysteries and secrets in this place. He also knew that Class One Hall used Vajra Arm and Gold Darts as bait to attract elites to carry out quests for Gold and Money Sect’s sect master so that they could get the rare Little Li Flying Dagger.
All those who obtained Little Li Flying Dagger can practically not escape from Class One Hall’s sights.
But Class One Hall will not personally attack these people. Instead, they will order the elites from the sects affiliated to them to attack in secret and gathered Little Li Flying Daggers through force or trickery.

Unfortunately for them, the people from Dragon Sect had been sent to this small town by Dream Clouds. Their training spot was the secret branch that was off limits to non Class One Hall members.
The people from Class One Hall were very cautious. As long as someone wore a Bamboo Hat into the small town, Class One Hall will immediately have people keep an eye on them in secret. They will also think of ways to figure out that person’s identity.

Happy was familiar with Class One Hall’s tricks, so he took out a human skin mask, gave himself the disguise of a solo player who had a very miserable time in the game, and entered the small town.
Happy went straight to Sky Ascension Tower when he entered the town.
Since they were close to Beijing and since this place was right under the emperor’s nose, this place became the most popular place in town because its name had the meaning of reaching the skies in just one step. Also, the wine here was pretty good, and it was another reason why it attracted the martial artists.
But Happy did not come here for wine.
When he came out of Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion, he already had a few pots of wine in his belly, and he was temporarily uninterested in wine.
Once he sat down, Happy drank a little while he ordered some dishes, and his gaze naturally landed on the elites sitting by the tables across him. They seemed to have already surrendered themselves into the pleasures of wine.
Those who were observant could tell with just one glance that these elites were all Class One Hall members.
But Happy remembered these people, and he knew that they had a second identity.
Dragon Sect elites.
‘Dream Clouds, what a woman.’
Happy chuckled in his heart. He did not expect that these Dragon Sect elites will join Class One Hall straightaway. It was no wonder why they did not attract anyone’s attention even though they were so close to Beijing.
By the looks of it, Dragon Sect already had a deep relationship and was working closely with Class One Hall, otherwise, Dream Clouds will not take great pains to receive these people to Beijing after giving them a batch of Illusion Life and Death Pills before arranging so many hidden but great training spots for them.
Happy kept quiet. He lowered his head to pick out the peanuts in his plate in an effort to look away, and during that time, he used his spiritual senses to observe that group of people.
The thirty or so Dragon Sect elites occupied the seats for five tables near the windows. The curtains were drawn around them, and their discussions could not be heard. By the looks of it, they were rather cautious.

Waiter.

When he heard someone call out to him, a young employee ran up the stairs. There was a white towel over his shoulders. There was an incredibly respectful and hospitable smile on his face.
Sir, what is your request?

Happy did not say anything. He brought out a handful of silver from his Universe Bag and placed it on the table.
The waiter’s eyes instantly lit up and became much livelier. The smile on his face also became much more respectful and hospitable.
Sir, what is your request? You can tell me what you want.

While the waiter bowed, he quickly picked up the silver on the table. This action instantly attracted quite a lot of players’ shocked and bewildered gaze.

Let me ask you something. If you answer well, I will reward you further.

Happy’s tone was calm. His pathetic appearance and his unusual act caused him to be shrouded in a mysterious light.

Sir, please tell me what it is. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you, and I will definitely tell you all I know about it.
Fifty taels of silver was nothing to wanderers, but to the employees who were at the lowest level of existence in the game, this was a great fortune.
The employee’s respectful attitude and conversation attracted the attention of all the martial artists in the restaurant.
After all, when everyone drank and ate in the game, there were very people who will pay attention to the employees and waiters who walked about the hall. Naturally, they will not know that they could actually converse with the waiters like this. By the looks of it, it was a hidden quest, but it also seemed like a small trick that no one knew.
Right now, most of the people who could master these small tricks had a pretty good life in the game.
hence, the people who saw this scene were interested, including the Dragon Sect elites who sat in the private rooms near the window. When they noticed the situation in the hall at the first floor, they drew the curtains.
The sounds of conversation finally came out from the private room and traveled into Happy’s ears clearly.

The waiters in restaurants in the room might seem inconspicuous, but they’re always the people who are the most well-informed. How could we not have noticed this?


That guy is lucky. I wonder what he wants to ask.


There’s no harm in us listening to the conversation. I’ve heard that there are people who are doing Flower Snatcher Li Xunhuan’s quest. Little Li Flying Dagger is a peerless martial art. If he has it, we can try getting in touch with him.

Happy had already recognized the person who said these words. He was Teacher, the middle-aged man who died in his hands while they were outside Yangzhou City.
