"Are we done here? I haven't allowed you to leave yet," James Williams said as he looked at Laura. "It's fine if you don't cooperate, and I understand what you're trying to say. Since you want to play, I'll play with you."
Instantly, Voodoo Barrier exploded. Laura was trapped before she could even react. Tina stood beside her and remained silent.

Looking at the shocking amount of HP that she had lost, Tina finally could not help but say, "Alright, Hades, are you going to make an enemy out of our Rose Union? Quickly let Laura go."
"50,000 gold coins and I'll let her go. Otherwise, there's no deal."
Listening to these words, Tina nodded without hesitation. "Alright, I promise you."
"Now it's 70,000."
James Williams tested Tina's bottom line step by step. He had no choice. For the sake of his sister's surgery fee, he did not care about how the players looked at him. He only cared about his family.
"Hades, you're going too far. I'm sure you're aware of the value of 70,000 gold coins, I'll give you 55,000 at most!"
"60,000," James Williams said nonchalantly.
Tina gritted her teeth and watched as Laura's HP dropped gradually.
"Alright, 60,000! That's all I can give you."
With a bang, the Voodoo Barrier exploded on its own, and the dark green poison slowly disappeared into the air.
Laura seemed to have something else to say, but when she saw Tina's cold gaze, she felt as if the words were stuck in her throat and forcefully suppressed it.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have received 60,000 gold coins from the Rose Union!]
Hearing the notification, James Williams smiled. "That's more like it. Why do you have to do all this to test my strength? Now let's talk about Dark Swamp."
Looking at the man in front of her who had changed his face faster than flipping a book, Tina gave him a fierce glare. The surrounding crowd saw that things had calmed down and gradually left.
James Williams opened the first page of the news regarding the game. It was full of news about Dark Swamp.
"Shocking! Five top players from the Wolf Union in the New York server have been completely wiped out in the Dark Swamp dungeon!"
"News! Five professional players from the Galil Union in the Canadian server have been wiped out in the Dark Swamp dungeon within five minutes!"
"Quick report! The five professional players from the French Seraph Union with top-tier equipment didn't even last for 10 minutes in the Dark Swamp dungeon!"
"Battle Report..."
"Battle Report..."
A series of news entered his eyes.
James Williams browsed through it before he remembered that in his previous life, Dark Swamp was one of the most difficult dungeons in the Novice Village. Very few people could clear it.
However, the first guild to clear the Dark Swamp dungeon would be rewarded with a full-service announcement and other rewards.
Now, almost all the guild members were trying their best to level up. James Williams kindly said to Tina, "If you want to clear the Dark Swamp dungeon, you have to reach level 20 first.
"Moreover, you'll need to learn a high-level gold skill, and your pet needs to reach level 13 at the very least. It also needs to be leveled up to a high-level silver pet. In addition to that, you'll need a few people who have excellent coordination with their pets, so that they could share the damage at the critical moment," he said.
As of now, most unions did not understand this information. They only knew how to level up and thought that leveling up was the key to clearing the dungeon.
In the later stages of Eternity, there would also be many rewards. Although they were rare, they were not non-existent. One could also obtain some special items by making in-game purchases.
For example, some skill books with special techniques could increase skills, but it would not affect one's log-in. There were also some special dungeon rewards such as changing classes in advance.
In his past life, these things were not considered rare. Now that they were only focused on leveling up, they would tend to overlook these rewards that would be needed in the later stages of the game. As a result, they would not even have sufficient combat power to defeat small monsters.
The combat power of players who leveled up step by step was not on the same level as players who leveled up through opportunistic rewards. To put it bluntly, their accounts were useless.
Tina nodded and said to James Williams, "In that case, we'll be leaving first. I still have to bring some members of the union to level up." After saying that, Tina left with her people.
James Williams nodded. However, there was a special reward for unions that had cleared Dark Swamp. For James Williams, who was a solo player and lacked everything right now, he did not want to give away these rewards. He might as well create his own union.
He came to the NPC village chief and said, "Village chief, I need to create a union."
The NPC village chief said, "This is a smart choice, adventurer. You should know that Eternity is full of dangers. A united team is much safer than an individual operation."
"How do you want others to call your union?" asked the NPC village chief.
"Zero!"
James Williams thought for a while and said, "Zero. It represents the beginning and the end of everything. Just like my name, Hades, which represents death."
The NPC village chief said, "So, adventurer, you need to pay 10,000 gold coins to form your union."
"What..."
James Williams was a little surprised. It actually cost 10,000 gold coins to form a union. The Eternity Company really had a business mind.
However, there was no other way. This money had to be given to them.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on creating a union!]
[Union name: Zero]
[Union president: Hades]
[Union level: Level 1]
[Union buff: None]
[Union residence: None]
[Union members: 1/20 (could be increased with gold coins, 1,000 gold coins per person)]
After the registration, James Williams opened the chatbox and made a small announcement in the Novice Village area.
Small announcements for 10 gold coins, big announcements for 100 gold coins, and worldwide announcements for 1000 gold coins.
Due to a lack of funds, James Williams only made a small announcement.
[A team led by a top player. Aiming to be the first to clear the Dark Swamp dungeon. Currently, 1/4 of the team has been occupied, 100,000 gold coins for each position. contact me if you're interested in joining...]
James Williams spammed 10 small announcements. After all, it was a big business that was worth more than 100,000 gold coins. He could not be too rigid about this small amount of money.
After that, the Novice Village chat interface immediately became lively.
