The one hundred gold coins loudspeaker came with insane special effects . Even the sunlight above everyone was completely covered by the special effects .
Vainglory said in low spirits, "Atlanta's Key, it sounds so familiar . "
"Rubbish, isn't it the one you picked up yesterday?" Fearless reminded him .
"Eh, oh right! Let me contact him now and see how much I can sell it for . " Vainglory immediately recalled the key he picked up the previous day, then quickly said .
Everyone's expressions were filled with envy .
Acquisition pleas sent throughout the server were generally for one-of-kind equipments . Since that person was willing to spend a hundred gold coins on that announcement, he definitely did not mind to multiply its price by several times… He managed to casually pick up such a treasure meant that his luck had rebounded after hitting rock bottom .
"How lucky, if I had not killed Hidden Lurker yesterday, this key would not even have emerged . " Vainglory said delightedly .
"Yes! How lucky… What a perfect time . Once Hidden Lurker was killed, it was immediately wanted by people . " Everyone spoke among themselves .
Everyone rambled on but someone was listening to their words . Hearing what everyone said, Fearless suddenly jumped up as though he thought of something . He told Vainglory, "Little Chicky, you can't sell it!"
"Why not?" Vainglory asked as he did not understand .

After playing the game for so long, Vainglory always had bad luck, never being able to earn a fortune . Now that he found the opportunity, he was quite angry that Fearless did not allow him to sell the key .
"Don't you guys think that there is something amiss? This thing does not even have an item description and yet Hidden Lurker brings it around like a piece of treasure . Once he lost it, the next day someone wants to purchase it . "
"This, is a coincidence… Couldn't have others come upon a quest which needs it?" The rest heard what Fearless said and realised that there was a connection but it was all conjecture . What if it was really a coincidence?
"There isn't so many coincidences in this world . Since Hidden Lurker brings it everywhere, he definitely know what it is used for . But why did he not trigger that quest?" Fearless laughed coldly .
"Hmm…" hearing what Fearless said, everyone seemed to have understood him .
Hidden Lurker was no beginner and even had top-notch experts like Nian Liuyun by his side . If even he could not trigger the quest, probably only those large guilds' occupation team could trigger it . However, this was too much of a coincidence .
"Let me add that Little Thief Mo and enquire first . " As he spoke, Fearless added Little Thief Mo as his friend .
Before Fearless could say anything, Little Thief Mo sent him a message, "How much are you offering?"
"…" Fearless was surprised . This Little Thief Mo was over-excited . Before he even spoke, he was asked for a price . It was obvious that he knew Fearless had the Atlanta's Key .
Fearless asked puzzledly, "What price?"

Little Thief Mo realised he was too eager and quickly said, "Did you add me after seeing my announcement?"
"Oh, yes, but I don't have the key . We are a professional team that can help you complete your quests . Please consider us if you have the need . " Fearless replied .
After a while, Little Thief Mo replied, "No need!"
"Then can I ask what is the Atlanta's Key for?" Fearless followed up with a question .
"No comments!"
Little Thief Mo only left these last words and when Fearless sent another message, he had already been blacklisted .
"Hehe, see, this is obviously Hidden Lurker's man . " Fearless sent their conversation records to the guild chat .
"I don't understand…" Vainglory shook his head .
"He actually blacklisted me . It must be because he is jealous of my intelligence and is afraid that I will coax the Atlanta's Key secret out of him . " Fearless said shamelessly .
"Stupid, scram!" Everyone started scolding him as they had no tolerance for his shamelessness .

"Haha . " Fearless laughed and said, "Actually that Little Thief Mo is only level 10, a complete small fry . Isn't this obvious enough?"
After the public beta testing, players would be level 10 once they completed the guided quests . Level 10 was also the criteria to leave the beginners' village and enter the home city .
Although afterwards, levelling up took some time, the player would not be stuck at level 10 if it was a veteran account .
Therefore, this Little Thief Mo's ID should be a new account . Hidden Lurker just lost his key to Quan Zhen Sect yesterday and today, a new level 10 account was in search for it… The connection was naturally very obvious .
There was deep-seated animosity between Quan Zhen Sect and Hidden Lurker . Hidden Lurker would definitely not personally ask Quan Zhen Sect for it .
"F*ck this old sly fox!" Vainglory scolded after he realised Hidden Lurker's motives as he knew he was delighted for nothing .
"Shall we ask him to pay before he receives it? Then after we receive his money, we can blacklist him . " Ming Du rubbed his chin and said .
"Right, Ming Du is indeed witty . " Fearless praised Ming Du then said, "If we do as you suggested, he can use the system witness . Even if he don't use it, do you think Hidden Lurker is stupid enough to fall for your trick? Won't we also become a liar like him?"
"Oh…" Ming Du was speechless .
In online games, malicious PK and securing BOSS to increase power were both playing tactics so people could not complain about who used more underhand means . However, liars and account thieves were the greatest common enemy and most unforgivable .
Through technical improvements, > was able to get rid of account thieves . However, due to the high nature of freedom the game had, liars became more and more capable . Those with unremarkable lying skills like Ming Du, were the worst as they could not even cheat the dumbest players, not to mention a top liar like Hidden Lurker .
Quan Zhen Sect may be fierce but they still earned their status through their abilities and believe in using their fist . Naturally, they did not want to ally with a liar .
"Damn it, I can't use this opportunity to cheat this piece of rubbish . I'm so mad!!" Ming Du yelled in frustration .
Quan Zhen Sect's elders had the deepest animosity with Hidden Lurker . When nothing happened, they simply played small tricks on each other . Now that they had his weakness with them, they were upset that they could not use the opportunity to rub salt into his wound .
Fearless smiled widely and said, "Why is there no opportunity? We simply don't have to give it to him . "
"Don't give it to him? Somehow it feels like he hasn't really incurred a substantial loss . " Ming Du clenched his fist .
"There is . At least this key is very important to Hidden Lurker . " Fearless said, "Since he could spend 100 gold coins to make a global acquisition announcement, Hidden Lurker definitely wants this key at all cost . How does he not lose anything when his lifeblood is in our hands?"
"Yes…" Ming Du scratched his head .
Wang Yu said from a side, "We can use this key right?"
"Yes, so long we meet the criteria, we can trigger the unknown equipment . " Fearless said .
"If we use Hidden Lurker's lifeblood, do you think he will breakdown?" Wang Yu said .
