Chapter 45

Of course, to avoid hostility, Chu Ge did not ask these questions. Right now, his primary goal was to sweep through the Instance Dungeon. Everything else could wait until afterward. Also, if they got along well, Chu Ge might be able to obtain some information from Zhao Beifeng.

While Chu Ge was having these thoughts in his head, Zhao Beifeng began to speak, “I will get straight to the point. I didn’t come here to get rid of violence and create peace. My only purpose is to perfect my martial arts skills and weapon techniques. If I can make a small fortune along the way, it would also be good. Saving the people is just a process, so when you receive loot, I will take half of it.”

Chu Ge thought that this person was straightforward. “Of course,” he said, “The loot obtained will naturally be divided in half. But how should we divide it?”

Zhao Beifeng sightly smiled, “You have asked the right person. I have traveled from the north to the south for so many years and have seen many crooked ways that people will use to suppress others. Generally, we have three ways to distribute the loot.

The most commonly used method is distributing the loot according to demand. For example, I want saber techniques, and you want sword techniques. After we have finished battling against those leaders, the loot will be given according to who wants what.

The second way of distribution is to look at luck. If we see something we like, we will throw dice. Whoever gets the more significant number will take that item.

The third way is to calculate according to the number of people. Generally speaking, although there are many enemies in places like the Fierce Tiger Villa, there are only a few who can be regarded as experts. We can set in advance how many people we will kill each. Once everyone has been killed, the loot will be distributed according to the number of kills we were set to make in advance.

This time you are the leader, so it is up to you to choose which option you think will be the most appropriate way for use to distribute the loot.”

Chu Ge listened to Zhao Beifeng’s words and wondered why this guy felt so strange? He felt like a player in a game. What exactly was the origin of these teammates that the system had arranged?

“Well, I wonder what kind of loot Brother Zhao wants,” Chu Ge thought.

“What I want most are the saber techniques and sword techniques, as well as inner cultivation techniques. It would also be nice if the loot contained a bejeweled saber or bejeweled sword.”

Chu Ge thought, what a coincidence. He also wanted the inner cultivation techniques. It seemed that distributing according to demand was impossible.

As for throwing the dice option, he was not confident about his luck. He said in his heart that he should leave that option out.

“Then let’s distribute it according to the number of enemies,” Chu Ge said, “I have explored the Fierce Tiger Villa before. There are four leaders in this Fierce Tiger Villa. Wang Xu, the expelled disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, the Four Ghosts of Mount Tai, the villa lord Hu Yiba, and another person whose name I don’t know. However, there are definitely these people inside.”

Zhao Beifeng’s expression showed a trace of surprise, “I didn’t expect brother Chu to be so meticulous in handling matters. In that case, since there are four leaders, it can be evenly divided as there just so happens to be only two of us. As for those scattered minions, their loots will belong to whoever kills them. What do you think?”

Chu Ge nodded his head, “Okay, but how should we divide the loot of the four leaders? Who chooses first?”

In the end, they still had to throw the dice.

Zhao Beifeng seemed to be well-prepared. He took out three dice and gave them to Chu Ge. He threw them and got one, two, and three.

Zhao Beifeng also threw the three dice and got six, six, and six.

Chu Ge saw that Zhao Beifeng had an indifferent smile on his face. Chu Ge said in his heart that it was insanely lucky he did not choose to distribute the loots by throwing dice.

“I choose Hu Yiba.” As expected, Zhao Beifeng picked the final Boss.

Chu Ge said, “Then I will choose the leader who doesn’t have a name.”

“I choose the Four Ghosts of Mount Tai,” Zhao Beifeng picked his second choice.

Chu Ge had no other choice, “I choose Wang Xu.”

When the distribution of the Bosses was over, Zhao Beifeng said, “Let’s not delay this anymore. We can start now.”

As he said that, he started walking further into the Instance Dungeon. Chu Ge quickly followed him. When they arrived at the gate of the villa, Chu Ge shouted, “Wait a minute!” He concentrated and condensed his force. Then, he resurrected a corpse! A mountain thief minion was directly resurrected into a zombie, as it followed after Chu Ge.

“Oh? This skill of yours is pretty good,” Zhao Beifen said, looking surprised, but he did not ask about it further. It seemed like such skills were within his scope of understanding.

The two men and a zombie went through the gate of the mountain stronghold. After they walked a few steps inside, they saw four bandits gathered together gambling.

Chu Ge said, “Wait for me to start fighting the monsters, then I will pull them out for you to fight!” With that, he took out his bow and arrow.

Zhao Beifeng snorted coldly, “There is no need to go through so much trouble. These four bandits are nothing to me.” With a wave of the bejeweled saber in his hand, he rushed towards the bandits.

The radar range of these bandits was much farther than that of the Kobold skeletons. It had reached 20 meters. The four bandits lifted the table, and one by one, they rushed up with long spears and short sabers in their hands.

When Chu Ge saw this, he thought it was absurd. However, he could not watch the action and do nothing. Therefore, Chu Ge also gritted his teeth and rushed up with a saber and a shield. Then, he noticed that he didn’t have to do anything.

While being surrounded by the four bandits, Zhao Beifeng’s body flashed and dodged the attacks. His long saber was like a wild snowstorm as screams sounded one after another within the shadows of the moving saber. Then, Zhao Beifeng immediately placed his saber into the sheath. The four bandits stood motionless on the stop for a moment before they fell to the ground one after another.

Chu Ge’s eyes were wide open. “Sh*t! This was too awesome. Was this martial arts? He was so handsome! This was much better than using a sword and a shield to fight,” Chu Ge thought. He looked at the Tang Saber and the Bomb Shield in his hand, as he suddenly felt like he was taking advantage of Zhao Beifeng.

“What are you standing there for? There are still a lot more of them farther in,” Zhao Beifeng said as he quickly touched the four corpses and then continued to walk farther in.

Chu Ge looked at the four bodies that had lost their light and thought that this wasn’t right. If this continued, even though it would save him a lot of trouble, the loots dropped would all be taken away by the adventurer.

Although the loot dropped from small monsters inside the Instance Dungeon would not be as good as the loot dropped from the Boss, Chu Ge could still gather a lot of stuff. If he was lucky, he might be able to get something that could be useful. Not good, he should not wait any longer.

Chu Ge quickly followed after Zhao Beifeng, who had already started fighting against three robbers. Chu Ge observed the situation for a little bit, then shot an arrow towards a robber who had moved away from the group.

Fortunately, even though this Zhao Beifeng was skilled with his saber, where killing small monsters was like chopping vegetables and fruits, he was just a Jianghu wandering swordsman after all, and not an expert. It was impossible for him to pull all the small monsters towards him. Chu Ge could still draw out one or two. Moreover, as Zhao Beifeng had attracted most of the enemy’s firepower, it would be much easier for Chu Ge to deal with the small monsters with the help of the zombie. He did not need to use his flame missiles. After all, the combat power of these mountain thieves and bandits were nothing compared to the Fierce Tiger Villa Minions.

Chu Ge could use just his bow and arrow, as well as his saber and shield to deal with the small monsters.

After finally clearing the small monsters at the bottom of the mountain, Chu Ge was tired and breathing heavily. He had only killed seven or eight little monsters, two mountain thieves, three bandits, a robber, a deserter, and a Fierce Tiger Villa Minion. Zhao Beifeng pretty much killed the rest.

However, the combat power of these small human monsters was very strong. Killing them was like killing real people. Even if Chu Ge had armor and a bejeweled saber, he was still tired from killing so many small monsters.

But he didn’t dare to take a long rest, as he quickly touched the corpses.
