At that moment, those few people hesitated again. Eight taels of silver might not mean much to Xiao Jie, but for these ordinary players, it was still a considerable fortune.
The group all looked towards Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie said speechlessly, "Don’t look at me, your lives are your own. I think the guild leader’s words make a lot of sense, everyone has to bear the consequences of their own choices. Maybe Salted Fish can really make you rich, the crux is whether you think the risk is worth it or not, I personally don’t think it is."
In the meantime, two more people returned to the team.
In the end, four people including Xiao Jie chose to exit.
Xiao Jie turned around and while walking, he sent a private message to Ye Luo.
Hidden Moon Following Wind: Ye Luo, aren’t you pulling out?
Ye Luo: Don’t worry about me, it’s just a rock, I can’t be trapped by that, rest assured, even if something really happens, I’ll be fine.
Xiao Jie thought to himself, are you that confident? But then again, considering Ye Luo was wearing the Dead Man’s Black Robe, had the Undead Affinity passive skill, and could turn invisible in the dark, he really had reason to be confident.
He couldn’t say much more and could only lead a few newbies out of the thief hole.
Watching Xiao Jie lead people away, everyone else turned to look at themselves, and Salted Fish was in a tough position at the moment.
"Damn it, I’ll lead the way myself, move aside!" Saying this, he took the lead towards the tomb entrance, and the crowd quickly followed. As long as there was a leader, even the most dangerous places could be ventured into.
When Xiao Jie returned to the first floor with the four newbies, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use was resting since the game’s little monsters took over half an hour to respawn, after killing, all they could do was wait.
Nevertheless, the leveling speed in this mine was still considerable, especially with the Earth-burrowing Zombies, which gave Experience Points each resurrection — of course, the Experience Points for not dying and reviving were halved.
Seeing Xiao Jie return with people, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use was somewhat surprised.
"Eh, why did you come back?"
"Encountered some potential risks, I reassessed halfway through, and decided to pull out."
Xiao Jie recounted the discovery of the Ancient Tomb entrance.
Hidden Dragon Do Not Use was somewhat astonished, "Heh, you really are cautious, a normal person couldn’t resist such temptation, especially after money was already spent."
Xiao Jie laughed, "If you were leading, I would indeed dare to go in, but with Salted Fish, forget about it."
It had to be said, seeing Hidden Dragon Do Not Use with a group of core members in bright armor did give a reassuring feeling.
Since he was already here, he might as well join and mix in some Experience Points for leveling.
Xiao Jie directly requested to join the team, and Hidden Dragon Do Not Use also promptly accepted the request; since they were idle anyway, they might as well level up together.
Speaking of it, although the mine was a bit oppressive, it really did give a lot of Experience Points, just yesterday morning he earned over 30% Experience Points.
In another two days, he could level up again.
In at most a week, he would be able to reach level 19, and with the two Martial Arts skills he recently acquired, his strength had already improved enough. Then, he could start the Ancient Qi Refiner’s inheritance.
He was eager to set out, looking forward to experiencing what it felt like to be a Master of Magic.
He wondered how Ye Luo and the others were doing; if they really found some treasures in the Ancient Tomb...
At this moment, Xiao Jie felt rather conflicted. He hoped that those people would be safe — after all, they were from the same guild, all alive and breathing, wishing for everyone’s safety was only natural, not to mention Ye Luo was still inside.
On the other hand, Xiao Jie somewhat hoped that something would indeed happen to those people, to prove his foresight, otherwise, if he pulled out halfway and others found a bunch of treasures, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?
In this world, many things are judged by success or failure, if you choose wrong in the end, no matter the reasoning, you’re still an idiot.
As long as you choose right, no matter how risky or thoughtless, that’s still considered bold and skillful.
The world is just that realistic.
