Hearing this, Tom shuddered. His first reaction was terrible. This was because he realized that he had forgotten to ask the staff to keep an eye on the shop and not let anyone go upstairs.
However, now it was too late.
Tom stiffened his neck and turned his head. When he saw Super Rich’s face, he was slightly stunned.
“It’s you!”
“That’s right, it’s me.” Super Rich smiled. “Originally, I wanted to buy some equipment, but I found that you guys seem to have encountered a little trouble.”
Tom was silent. It was true that they had indeed encountered some trouble.
At this time, Mike finally took out the last piece of equipment in the forging furnace and threw it into Egg’s mouth.
Seeing this scene, Super Rich could not help but gasp.
“Is that another gold-quality equipment? No matter how many times I look at your forging level, it baffles me.”
Tom, who was listening by the side, felt that something was strange.
It was as though Mike actually had foraging shills, but in fact, he did not have any at all. This was because Mike really did not do anything. He just threw the materials in.
However, if one wanted to say that his forging level was incredible… Then there was indeed no one in this world who was more incredible than him.
At least, he had never heard of a blacksmith who could forge 100% gold equipment most of the time.
At this moment, Mike turned his head and smiled at Super Rich, “Long time no see.”
Super Rich also nodded and replied, “Long time no see indeed.”
However, Mike’s greeting felt as though it had been a long time since they met as compared to how the other person greeted.
Super Rich shrugged and said, “I think I can provide you with some help. I heard that you are purchasing materials. I have already sent someone to withdraw the money.”
As he said that, Super Rich took out 10,000 gold coins from his game bag.
In the second world, if a player died, they would lose a percentage of the gold coins they carried with them.
Therefore, generally speaking, players would put most of their money in the bank, leaving only a small portion on themselves for use.
Of course, normally, a player that carried around 100 gold coins was considered very rich. After all, 100 copper coins could be exchanged for 1 silver coin, while 100 silver coins could be exchanged for 1 gold coin.
100 gold coins were equivalent to 1,000,000 copper coins.
This was not a small amount that could be carelessly carried around. However, this was really a small amount for a super-rich person like Super Rich.
Looking at the 10,000 gold coins, Tom’s eyes were wide open. He had never seen anyone who could take out so many gold coins so easily.
Although he knew that the man was rich, but he did not expect the man to be so willful.
However, just as Tom was stunned, Mike shook his head and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I will not accept this help.”
This was clearly beyond Super Rich’s expectations. He was slightly stunned at first, then he looked at Egg that was chewing on the equipment. After a moment of silence, he said, “This should be the baby of a giant dragon. I have to say, you’re really the most magical player I have ever seen. You can even get your hands on a dragon. Although I am very willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, I reckon that you will not sell it.”
Although Super Rich said that, he still wanted to test the waters.
What if the other party was willing to sell it?
Super Rich could totally afford a price that would allow Mike to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
However, Mike calmly shook his head and said, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t intend to give this child away.”
To Mike, money was not important at all.
Super Rich did not show any regret. He smiled and said, “It’s okay if you don’t want to sell it. However, I think you should accept my previous suggestion. Although this seems a little unbelievable, you seem to be forging equipment to feed this baby dragon. High-grade materials are very expensive. I saw the price you put up just now. The money Hammer Whack-a-mole had has all been spent. What should you do next?”
Hearing this, Mike glanced at Tom. Tom lowered his head in embarrassment. He felt that not only did he not help, but his and Mike’s embarrassment was also seen by others. This made him feel a little guilty.
However, to his surprise, not only did Mike not feel embarrassed, but he directly took out 100,000 gold coins from his backpack and said to Tom, “I’m sorry, brother. I didn’t expect that this matter would cost so much money. You don’t have to force yourself, you should’ve just told me directly. I can think of a way to get the money.”
Tom was stunned when he saw Mike directly take out a whole box of gold coins.
He originally thought that it was already very surprising that Super Rich would dare to carry 10,000 gold coins with him. Even more so, this good friend of his was even more ridiculous, carrying around 100,000 gold coins!
It was 10 times more than what Super Rich had!!!
Although Mike definitely did not have as much money as Super Rich, this kind of powerful confidence was something Super Rich dared not to compare with.
Even Super Rich looked at Mike with a more appreciative gaze. In fact, what they did not know was that Mike had more than 100,000 gold coins on him.
Moreover, even if the money was spent, he could immediately ask Jasmine to send more money over. After all, he had given Jasmine a large sum of money before.
Plus, the whole Sarco City belonged to Mike.
Now, gold coins were really just a number to Mike. Without hesitation, Tom continued to buy materials and handed them to Mike so that he could continue to forge.
Meanwhile, Super Rich watched on silently.
He was still thinking about how he could help Mike. Of course, Super Rich’s position was completely opposite to that of Tom. Tom and Mike were friends, and Tom had been receiving Mike’s help since he met Mike in the game. So Tom wants to give back to Mike. This kind of help was not a big deal.
However, Super Rich was the opposite. He wants Mike to owe him. Super Rich and Mike are more like collaborators than friends. Almost every connection they have before is related to interests. In this case, it makes sense that Mike would not help Super Rich at any time.
Therefore, Super Rich had to help Mike. In this way, Mike would owe Super Rich a favor. In the future, if Super Rich needed Mike’s help, Mike could not refuse.
He stared at Mike and the little dragon while he waited silently.
Then, the forging furnace flashed a golden light again.
Mike took out the equipment in the forging furnace and threw it into Egg’s mouth. Then, without hesitation, he prepared for the next forging.
After watching the process, Super Rich finally found the root of the problem.
He thought of how to make Mike owe him a favor!
Super Rich had a plan in his mind. He took two steps forward confidently and said, “I think I can provide you with some help that can not be measured by money. For example… how about supreme-grade forging materials?”
Hearing this, Mike’s hand that held onto the materials paused in the air and turned to look at Super Rich.
“Supreme-grade forging materials?”
