Seeing this scene, Yu Chuan felt sothing in his heart.
The guild he joined in the early days in the Land of Sin disbanded because of a lack of transparency in profit distribution.
When it cos to profit distribution, trust between teammates is one thing, but the leader's actions are another.
Even if deep bonds form between mbers over the years, all transaction processes must be completely open and transparent.
In the face of profit, even the deepest bonds can fracture if doubt arises.
Only through transparency can the seeds of suspicion be prevented from taking root, which is the guarantee that a fixed team can sustain itself for a long ti.
During private negotiations, players kept offering high prices.
The offers were generally above 150,000 in sacrificial power, but the leader didn't rush to agree and simultaneously negotiated prices with multiple players.
At that mont, another private chat window popped up.
The other player's ga ID was "Yu Yunyou."
Veteran players were familiar with this ID; it ranked first briefly on the player power list and belonged to a Control Flow player.
The once unpopular Controlled Life Soul gained explosive popularity because of him.
Later on, he pioneered the controlled pet flow style among existing gaplay factions.
"Yu Yunyou" is considered a faction representative among Control Flow players.
Yu Yunyou: Buddy, what's the price?
Pig Teammate: Boss, you set the price, if it's reasonable I'll sell.
Yu Yunyou: I checked the current prices for Shuyan Warriors. Your soul beast is functionally stronger than Shuyan Warriors, but it's still not hatched, and its hunting level is quite low. It will require so resource investnt early on. Offering 220,000 is quite reasonable, please don't hike the price; this price is very fair.
Pig Teammate: Boss, you're generous. In the Senluo Forest Region transactions, the soul beast seed can't be transferred over.
Yu Yunyou: I'll co over imdiately, wait for .
...
Seeing the leader sell the soul beast at a price of 220,000 sacrificial power, the entire team cheered.
"Celebrate after getting the sacrificial power; don't pop the champagne early."
Saying this, the leader summoned the group vehicle "Floating Boat," leading them toward the exit of the Senluo Forest Realm Space node.
During this ti, "Yu Yunyou" was also added to the group.
When casual chatting brought up why he wanted to buy the soul beast, Yu Yunyou sighed:
"You guys should know I have one Heavenly Soldier that escaped from the Ascension Clan's breeding farm, right?"
"Of course, an early divine pet; back then, you topped the forum rankings with your Heavenly Soldier," the leader complinted with a smile.
"Although the Heavenly Soldier's hunting level of 75 was indeed strong back then, it no longer matches the combat power of top players. I can't bear to kill it. Seeing you selling soul beasts, I thought I'd buy one for the Heavenly Soldier to consu, transforming back into a Heavenly Soldier quickly, then subsequently grow by devouring other monsters..."
An hour later, Yu Chuan's team connected with Yu Yunyou at the Senluo Forest Realm node exit.
Known as one of the veteran player representatives, Yu Yunyou dressed quite plainly in a cyan robe, followed by two Shuyan Warriors and a giant beast with a hunting level of 89. He continued with the controlled pet flow style.
The leader trusted him greatly and directly handed over the soul beast seed.
"Boss, here's your soul beast seed."
Yu Yunyou accepted the soul beast seed with a smile and nod, then transferred 220,000 sacrificial power.
With the transaction complete, when the team returned near the Soul Beast Nest, everyone could barely contain their joy, bursting into thunderous cheers.
"Haha, we might just strike it rich! There's quite a number of soul beasts in the nest; we can undoubtedly produce them in batches."
"That was worth it, it's damn worth it..."
Yu Chuan leaned against a rock, watching his joyous teammates, his lips involuntarily curling into a smile.
The next mont, a transfer notification sounded in his mind; the leader had sent over 11,580 sacrificial power.
He decisively returned 2,000 sacrificial power to the leader.
He couldn't accept the sacrificial power previously given by the leader, considering it as borrowed.
Seeing the smiles on his teammates' faces, Yu Chuan genuinely felt happy.
The feeling was akin to the growth gained from battling in sweat-drenched fights at Ah Le Training Camp or the first ti he accumulated enough sacrificial power to embed the Battle Aura Soul.
Besides the value of the sacrificial power itself, there's the tangible sense of earning rewards through effort.
Additionally, there's this group of newly made friends.
They exude a certain purity.
Without scheming or worrying over gains and losses, they laugh heartily when they win and start anew when they lose.
Though they've only spent a short amount of ti together, Yu Chuan felt the sa thrill as battling shoulder to shoulder with his brothers back in the day.
At this mont, the leader's bald head glead crimson in the firelight as he poured spiritual wine from his space bag, while the assassin and monster played gas, Stardust and Green pouch clustered, chatting about sothing.
This simple, straightforward way of interacting made Yu Chuan feel especially grounded.
Watching the smiling, playful teammates by the fire, he made a decision.
Perhaps he could temporarily pause his solo journey and walk alongside this team for a while.
The dream of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range would remain unchanged; it's a goal he set for himself.
But on the road to Player Peak, eting such sincere companions was a stroke of luck.
With them, it might only be a stop in his long adventure in Monster World, but certainly a vibrant mory along the way.
...
Three days later.
Yu Chuan grew increasingly skilled at stealing soul beast seeds.
These past two days, over 100,000 sacrificial power had been deposited.
No warriors from the Soul Returning Clan had arrived yet, and the "Soul Beast Gold Mine" still had potential for further extraction.
That day, after successfully stealing two soul beast seeds, the team sought buyers, when a famously known player on the forum sent a private ssage.
Little Mage: I'm interested in buying soul beast seeds, available for high price?
Seeing the ga ID pop up on the leader's private chat screen, the previously joking team was suddenly stunned.
This... indeed a tricky situation.
