overlap with theirs so he paid them no
mind next to Leong Lake stood a Tavern
the only safe Zone in the vicinity known
as Leong Tavern for others it might be a
Haven but for Lyn fo it was the focal
point of his current Quest the entrance
to Leong Tavern bustled with players
coming and going this Leong Tavern is
truly a ripoff indeed a single bottle of
wine costs 1,000 gold coins yet it
wasn't all bad the beverage provided a
bonus increasing damage dealt to the
wild creatures around Leong Lake by 30%
H this is just an official ploy to
siphon our gold because the wine sold at
Leong Tavern enhanced damage against the
surrounding wild monsters players
training here would almost invariably
purchase a bottle to boost their
effectiveness a few players grumbled as
they exited the tavern only to be taken
aback upon spotting Lyn Fong approaching
their eyes widened in disbelief it's
Shan tizi what is he doing here I recall
there was an auction wasn't there the
auction concluded quite some time ago
did you not notice this fellow has made
a fortune I watched the live stream as
well the profits were outrageous
although they might not be to that
extent several sellers have posted
messages expressing their gratitude
towards him indicating they also earned
a substantial amount yes I have also
heard that the great Merchant Dynasty
charges a 15 commission which is quite
reasonable amid their discussions Lyn
Fong entered the tavern The Tavern
appeared somewhat dim clearly not a
reputable establishment a putrid odor
assaulted his senses rendering it
unbearable the players present were
scarce most players bought and left
while the majority inside the tavern
were NPCs The Tavern was not particular
particularly spacious featuring six
tables and a fee counter The Tavern
keeper did not lift his head busily
calculating on an abacus each NPC was
engrossed in their own activities likely
strangers to one another however Lyn
Fong as a player possessed a God's
perspective allowing him to recognize
many NPCs by name ly Fong exhaled a
breath of frustration truly a mixed bag
of the Six Tables four were occupied
with two reserved for players the four
NPCs belonged to four distinct factions
an outer disciple of the wyong sect
hidden identity named Ming z a martial
artist known as l bonning a water Bandit
named yenen and a government official
referred to as Captain in these four
appear to be engaged in a game akin to
werewolf casting furtive glances at one
another in reality they would have been
exposed long a geod was this strange
atmosphere coupled with the foul stinch
that deterred other players from
lingering ly fo furrowed his brow not
here his Target Leong was certainly not
present perhaps backstage ly Fong stro
directly toward the backstage area but
before he could enter he was halted by a
Tavern attendant the interior is not
open to customers please leave the
attendant was a fixed and PC guarding
the door to the back only through a
quest could he be persuaded to vacate
engaging him in conversation yielded but
this single phrase damn it what as the
deal ly pH exasperated took a seat
nearby by wasn't he the quest meant to
bring me here yet no sooner had he sat
down than another attendant rushed over
sir our Tavern only welcomes customers
you must order a drink to sit here that
disdainful gaze this place truly is a
den of inequity the dialogue box offered
only two choices first to purchase a
drink second to leave Lyn Fong took a
deep breath he chose not to buy a drink
but opted to leave instead upon
selecting to depart the system for
forcefully compelled him to stand ly pH
glanced around once more in1 paid him
heed and shaking his head he exited he
opened the quest system meticulously
examining every word on the task
