Assassin at Range: The Sniper's Lethal Power-Chapter 91 - : Offline for a Meal, and Buying a House on the Side

ShieldBreaker had a certain pride about him.

Having unlocked the hidden class, Bounty Hunter, and soloed a boss to obtain the Guild Token, which had caused a stir among major guilds, he had received several invitations to join.

But ShieldBreaker had turned them all down.

For one, he was used to being a lone wolf. For another, he wanted to wait and see. If he were to join a guild, it had to be a top-tier one.

Now that Blackshade had laid out his thoughts, ShieldBreaker agreed without hesitation.

With Blackshade as the figurehead, his guild might not be the largest in scale, but it would definitely be the one with the most top-tier players! That’s the kind of guild worth joining.

Tristan wasn’t surprised by ShieldBreaker’s response. Top players had a common trait—pride. They wouldn’t want to join a regular guild and team up with average players to grind bosses.

Soloing bosses was nothing. Wasn’t it all about having the skills?

Tristan said, "This is just an idea for now. We’ll talk more when the time comes."

ShieldBreaker nodded, shaking his arm a bit, "Alright, that’s settled then. I’m off to do my class advancement quest."

Tristan responded, "I’ve got some stuff to take care of too."

The two of them parted ways.

Tristan wasn’t just being polite; he actually had things to do. But since it was getting late and the NPCs in Davi City were still asleep, there was no rush to get to work.

While he was lost in thought, a game notification popped up:

"Reminder: You’ve been playing for 16 consecutive hours. Please watch out for fatigue."

Tristan thought for a moment. Since the NPCs hadn’t woken up yet and there was no immediate need to level up, he decided to log off and grab a bite to eat.

Although the game pod had an energy-replenishing function, lying there for too long wasn’t ideal.

He opened the menu, chose to log out, and the hatch of the game pod slid open. Tristan slowly sat up, stretching as he left the pod.

After moving his legs a bit, he grabbed his bank card and left his rental apartment.

First, he’d grab a meal, then, while he was at it, he’d buy a house.

Downstairs in the restaurant, the owner, Dino, was working alone. Seeing Tristan, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Huh, you’re off early today?"

Tristan, who was quite familiar with Dino, replied, "No, I quit my job."

Dino didn’t ask any more questions, and skillfully brought over a bowl of Thai Tom Yum seafood noodles with two fried eggs on top, offering some comforting words: "When one door closes, another will open."

Tristan smiled and said, "Thanks."

After finishing the meal, Tristan wandered around the street. His eyes scanned the area, and it didn’t take long for him to spot a real estate agency.

He now had over seven million in cash on his card, so he had plenty of options.

There was only one thing Tristan cared about.

The neighborhood had to be secure.

Before the world of ExoGenesis merged with reality, he had been just an ordinary person, without the high stats from the game’s character fusion. He needed to stay cautious.

The agent, very professional, provided several options.

Tristan compared them carefully and quickly made his decision.

Then it was time to sign the contract and make the payment.

With the power of cash, the agent was incredibly enthusiastic, arranging everything meticulously. Tristan just had to sit back and relax.

For Tristan at this moment, these were just minor tasks.

The reason he was moving was to ensure a better, safer environment for playing ExoGenesis.

After receiving the keys, Tristan politely declined the agent’s invitation to dinner.

Sure, the agent was somewhat attractive, but so what?

In his past life, Tristan was one of the top ten players globally. He had plenty of beautiful women in his life, all with the best bodies and looks.

Moreover, after ExoGenesis merged with reality, the game’s NPCs also entered Terra, including plenty of high-appearance elves.

No ordinary woman could catch his attention.

Women would only slow down my Shadow Dagger!

With the house purchased, the next task was moving his game pod.

This wasn’t difficult.

By the time everything was settled, it was already past 7 PM.

A quick shower, then back to the game!

In the game, it was just after 7 AM, and the sky was already bright. Tristan’s figure appeared on Provence Avenue.

"First, I’ll go find Horreo and get my reward."

Tristan thought to himself.

But before he could make a move, a familiar voice came from behind: "Hey, fancy meeting you here."

Turning around, he saw Drake.

His three teammates were with him as well.

Tristan smiled and asked, "Been waiting long?"

Drake waved his hand, "No, we just finished our class advancement quests."

Drake’s face lit up with excitement, "Your suggestion was really helpful. Before leaving the newbie village, I picked up a hidden quest from the blacksmith. It turned out it merged with my advancement quest, and it rewarded me with this!"

He patted the long sword on his waist.

It was beautifully crafted, glowing with a green hue.

Tristan blurted out, "Is that a Growth Weapon? Better than Tasseban’s Glory?"

Drake was about to show off his new weapon, but before he could finish speaking, Tristan had already figured it out, almost causing him to choke on his words.

Damn, is there anything this guy doesn’t know?

Drake chuckled awkwardly, "Seems like nothing gets past you."

Nearby, Assassin laughed loudly, reaching out a hand to Drake, "C’mon, pay up. I knew you wouldn’t be able to keep this weapon’s name a secret from him."

Cleric Sophie added with a grin, "You thought you could fool Blackshade? Think again."

Drake sighed and handed two gold coins to each of his teammates, then sighed dramatically, "I give up."

Tristan had always had a good impression of this group of jokers, both in his past life and now.

After a few more jokes, Drake asked curiously, "When’s your shop opening? I was standing by the door a bit earlier, and it said you’re not open yet."

Tristan answered, "Tomorrow at 9 AM, I’ve already invited Horreo."

Drake’s eyes widened, "Wait, you’re talking about Horreo, the captain of the Davi City Guard?"

Tristan nodded and smiled, "Looks like you’ve been around Davi City."

Drake rubbed his hands together, his voice full of excitement, "I wonder if Horreo will have any good quests for us. It’s really intriguing."

Tristan glanced at him sideways, teasing, "I’ll introduce you to him when the time comes. Whether or not you can get a quest depends on your own abilities."

Drake grinned, patting his chest confidently, "Don’t worry, I won’t let you down."

After a bit more chatting, Drake continued, "I wanted to ask, what do you think about the Guild Token auction? I heard DarkSaber has two little goals in mind."

Tristan, who had been keeping an eye on this, asked, "How much are you guys preparing?"

Normally, this would be confidential, but since it was Blackshade asking, Drake didn’t hide anything and replied, "We’ve raised 200 million so far, and we’re planning to gather another

300 million."

Tristan gave him a thumbs-up.

As expected, Drake was a pro. He could mobilize 500 million like it was nothing.
