Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1838 - 832: No Room for Negotiation

Ding Hui’s mannerisms left Fang Yu speechless, feeling a bit queer.

Nearby, Zhuge Shi frowned, glancing at Ding Hui, seemingly pondering something.

Fang Yu shook his head slightly; although he had expected these two women to clash, he hadn’t anticipated the situation evolving to this point.

However, regardless, Fang Yu stood by Ding Hui’s side since Zhuge Shi was indeed an outsider.

Simply put, Fang Yu sat inside the room and started waiting.

Although the Bi Family had already spread the news through the Affiliated Council, enticing the fish to bite required the additional lure of a mysterious array map, so Fang Yu had Bo Changquan release news to the auction, indicating the Bo family would auction off a map from the former dynasty.

In truth, as long as Master Ouyang was drawn to the auction, Fang Yu’s plan would succeed.

Master Ouyang wasn’t someone just anyone could meet; without a recommender, one might not even set foot into the Ouyang Family’s door.

Fang Yu wasn’t aware, while he was plotting his plans, that some others at the Bo Mansion were contemplating how to escape.

"Money is not the problem!"

Suo Ru said coldly.

Qian Wu also looked in surprise at the unassuming young man beside him.

"Brother Jiang, are you not joking? Can you truly call upon help to aid our escape?"

His injuries weren’t healed, his battle strength was unstable, Suo Ru was indeed formidable, but he was like him, thinking of escaping and not fighting against the Bo Mansion forcefully.

Just any Elder coming would spell trouble for them.

"Can’t guarantee escape, but there is indeed a way to contact help willing to attempt a rescue. Additionally, it can notify the Suo Family and Qian Family to send people to retrieve the three of you—however, you’ll need to take me along and cough up extra money!"

Jiang Yong’s words prompted Qian Wu and the others to exchange glances.

Qin Er frowned, unable to fathom what means an ordinary person, who hasn’t even begun training in Martial Arts, like Jiang Yong could possess to contact the outside world.

Could it be he possessed monstrous wisdom, preemptively planning multiple steps ahead, anticipating being trapped at the Bo Mansion?

If such a strategist, can be used...

Qin Er considered herself without bottlenecks in martial arts, her future road wide open; only her strategic wisdom seemed wanting.

She didn’t think herself lacking intelligence, simply that with strategist assistance, many matters could be achieved with half the effort.

Rising attraction and desire to recruit talent, Qin Er couldn’t help but take another look at Jiang Yong.

Unfortunately, learning Qin Er was the Qian family heiress and even mute, Jiang Yong’s interest in her greatly diminished.

Simply put, it was a loss of allure.

Good-looking women abound, this being a game world, he hoped to enjoy abundant companionship, having several lovely ladies to enjoy with; seeking such an heiress and playing with the idea of marrying as a concubine proved difficult.

"Let’s stick to what we agreed upon, if I bring in help, you two must pay upfront."

Money, money, money, Jiang Yong was filled with thoughts of money; though Qian Wu disliked it, Suo Ru didn’t mind, being a demon not human, money held no use, yet Qin Er found this greedy weakness quite easy to manipulate.

With deals made, Jiang Yong smiled mysteriously, announcing he’d rest awhile, then leaned against a wall corner, closing his eyes gradually to sleep.

Logging out of the game, Jiang Yong promptly opened the game forum.

As a player, his greatest advantage wasn’t any in-game ability but the extra-board moves outside the game!

Despite his character being trapped at the Bo Mansion, simply with some cash power, sending messages, organizing a capital rescue team was but a minute’s effort.

Yet, as he published the post detailing the trade, Jiang Yong quickly realized things... weren’t as simple as he thought.

Finding someone to pass messages was easy enough.

Once the post was public, it received enthusiastic responses.

After all, passing a message costs nothing, payment made upfront via transfer.

However, choosing messaging candidates required selecting someone trustworthy, with high status or slight fame among players.

Otherwise, if any passerby takes the job, lacks the ability, or merely pretends, the money becomes wasted.

Moreover, not everyone qualified to enter the Qian Residence or Suo Mansion, so Jiang Yong carefully selected help.

That’s when the importance of casual forum interaction became apparent.

Since the game launch over half a year ago, the forum environment no longer retained its original wild and barren state.

Numerous individuals began marketing personal brands, creating star accounts, star characters.

For example, entry-level disciples of some sect, once joining, could immediately begin serializing their sect lives on the forum, like nurturing growth, others constantly follow updates, amused, tipping cash, or hoping to join a sect seeking recommendations, paying for favors, inquiring sect information.

Thus, when popularity reached great heights, the star account and personal IP were considered established.

Then as long as the character didn’t perish, remaining within the sect, revenue steadily generated, not to mention, disciples exhibiting extraordinary strength often receive requests for help, securing additional tasks abundantly available, coupled with disciples venturing safely, closer assassination jobs also an option.
