BXBX NOVEL Chapter 27 27 Huntress 2
Is that a dagger?" Alex asked.
"This...yes it\'s my dagger, just In case someone gets too close to me," she said.
"Can I have that...but first which grade is it?" Alex asked.
"Hump...you want my dagger, I used you to defeat a goblin that would have killed you and I offered you 100 blue coins for the trouble but you still want my dagger, do you want to die?" the girl asked him.
"You think you can kill me," Alex said with confidence.
"Really, should we check it out," the girl said and removed the dagger from her scabbard and pointed it at Alex.
The dagger had a unique shine to it as the sunlight reflected on the dagger.
"If you kill me, everyone would be hunting you, your location would be exposed" Alex threatened.
"Do you think I don\'t know, what do you take me for, I can kill every single person in this forest in case you don\'t know" the girl said.
"Everyone in this forest is still a noob, if I kill you I would just climb up any tree and kill anyone who comes looking for me, I have a skill that gives me unique hearing so no one can sneak up on me"
"But you didn\'t see me, I saw you first" Alex scoffed.
"Well...for your case, I guess I wasn\'t paying attention because I was busy with the goblin, and besides if I kill you, it would be of no use to me, you are just a low-level player with nothing to offer," the girl said.
"Nothing to offer...just give me the coins, let\'s part ways here," Alex said angrily.
"What coins...the offer is off the table, bye I\'m leaving," the girl said and turned around.
"What...you can\'t do that to me...please" Alex quickly begged.
"Okay but before I do that, I want you to help me with something, in return I would give you both the dagger and the coins, how does it sound"
"What\'s the catch...you refused to give me the dagger and now you are offering me both the dagger and coins, what do I have to do?"
"Nothing much, I just want you to enter a cave and disturb a certain creature so I can kill it," the girl said.
"Disturb a certain creature...you want to use me as bait so you can defeat something, just as you did now...sorry I can\'t"
"Why not...I would give you something special, I would tell you the content in my inventory and you can choose, except from my bows and arrows"
"So you would give me the dagger, coins and I choose something from your inventory...hmmm it sounds nice but I want more coins," Alex told her.
"Deal...your pay has been increased to 5000 blue coins, so all you need to do is to disturb it and make the scorpion follow you out, then I kill it...simple"
"Did you say scorpion?"
"Yes, I need to kill a desert scorpion for my task, and because I\'m ranged I can\'t go too close," the girl said.
Alex chuckled softly, "So you want me to enter a cave where a bunch of scorpions are and disturb them so you can kill them, I\'m sorry but I can\'t"
"You already agreed, if you don\'t follow me I\'m going to kill you"
"Really, then go ahead, I\'m not up to level 5 so it\'s easy either way, if I go to the scorpion\'s cave I\'m going to die, if you kill me I\'m also going to die, so I take the easy way out," Alex said his face void of emotion.
"What if I give you something to help with that?" the girl asked him.
"To help with what, my level or what?"
"But first you must promise me you are going to help me"
"I promise," Alex said immediately.
"What\'s your name?"
"I\'m Reaper, why do you want to know?"
"Accept," the girl said.
\'Accept what...what does she want me to accept, I would just collect whatever she offers and scram, I can\'t possibly go into a scorpion\'s cave\'
[Player Huntress sent you a friend request]
[Accept/ Reject]
Alex looked at the interface In surprise, he didn\'t know there was a feature like friend request on the game. He quickly clicked on accept.
[You are now friends with player Huntress]
"So you are called Huntress, I\'ve never heard of you," Alex said trying to get her anger.
"That\'s because I don\'t do much, I do my thing away from the eyes of others and I have more than 10 masks," the girl said.
"So what are you going to give me"
"Here" huntress opened her inventory and brought out two potions.
"What are those?"
"Level boost and XP boost, this level boost is very rare, most players don\'t know about it, and it grants players 5 extra level free"
"What!! so if I use it now I would gain 5 extra level"
"Yes, but I would only give you the XP boost now so you can defeat smaller beast and level up quickly, then after the mission is done I would give you the level boost, sounds like a good deal right" Huntress said.
"Yes, but it\'s too good to be true, what do you get for killing the scorpion..."
"Well I can\'t tell you that, but I can find another newbie player and offer him this same deal, I\'m sure most people would accept without thinking about it"
"Yes, but they would be dead before you can kill the scorpion"
"So are you in or not, you\'re wasting my time"
"I\'m in, but first let\'s review all my reward, a dagger, 5000 blue coins, XP boost and level boost and I would choose something from your inventory right" Alex asked.
"This seems too much, maybe we should just forget about it" Huntress said and turned around to leave.
"Wait... I\'m going to do it" Alex quickly shouted.
"Okay, but you\'re not choosing anything from my inventory, there are too many valuable stuff there, follow me we\'re leaving now"
