He was rejected!

Andres looked at Su Fan in surprise, his face full of doubt and confusion.

He had never thought that Su Fan would reject him so decisively.

After all, he did not make any excessive requests. He just invited both parties to form a team and complete a dungeon quest together. This was not a big deal.

In the game, this kind of thing happened almost all the time. There was no risk at all.

But Su Fan actually rejected him directly?

This was something that Andres had never thought of, so he looked at Su Fan in surprise.

“Why?”

Andres looked at Su Fan and asked a question that he was confused about.

Why did he reject him?

There was no reason at all.

“Because I can’t team up with anyone right now. Ai Wei and I are forever teammates.”

Su Fan turned his head and looked at Ai Wei with a gentle smile. Ai Wei smiled back gently too.

The two of them looked very sweet. Even though Andres and Pena could be considered a model couple, they were still surprised by the relationship between the two of them.

“You two have a great relationship.”

Andres never expected to get that kind of answer.

This surprised him, but at the same time, it also made him feel a little helpless.

Because this was something that could not be solved. Since the other party did not agree to form a team, then their cooperation naturally would not be established.

“You flatter me. You and Pena are also a famous loving couple in the game.”

Su Fan nodded humbly and pointed at Pena.

“Hehehe.”

Andres only laughed and did not say anything.

Then, he changed the topic to the Finger Collector dungeon.

“This is not a simple game dungeon, but a dungeon with many restrictions.”

“First, this dungeon requires us to enter the Williams family’s manor and look for a member of a cult called the Cult of Pain from ten years ago. Then, strange things will happen every night in this manor, and weird monsters will randomly appear and attack investigators like us.

“Then, the people in the manor will ignore us. Even if we want to ask them about something, we will only get silent treatment. This makes our investigation much more difficult.

“Finally, there are the completion conditions. As long as we find the members of the cult and arrest them, or kill them, then we can be considered to have cleared the level. We can get the job change permit from the priest of the Church of the Blazing Sun, who issued the mission, and then we can change our class.”

Andres told Su Fan everything that he knew without holding back. Then, he looked at Su Fan with anticipation, as if he was waiting for something.

Obviously, he had no intention of giving up on forming a team with Su Fan. At the very least, he felt that he should give it a try.

“Thank you for your information.”

Su Fan naturally saw through this, so Su Fan immediately expressed his gratitude to Andres. However, he immediately shook his head regretfully. “It’s just that I really can’t agree to your request.”

“I’ve already promised Ai Wei that she will be my forever teammate.”

Andres was silent.

He did not expect that his sincerity did not manage to move Su Fan.

“Since that’s the case, I can only retreat in the face of difficulties.”

Andres smiled helplessly. He had never expected such an outcome in the end.

“I think you will regret it in the future.”

Andres looked at Su Fan seriously. “A man’s promise is indeed important, but a situation might occur, and this promise will be broken.”

Andres turned around and called out to Pena, “Pena, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Pena nodded slightly and prepared to leave with Andres.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, a voice called out to Andres and the others.

However, it was not Su Fan, but another woman’s voice.

“Ai Wei?”

Su Fan also looked at Ai Wei with a puzzled expression. Ai Wei, who had never interfered with any communication between him and the players, had stood up at this time?

This made Su Fan puzzled, but at the same time, he had a rough guess in his heart.

“The cooperation you mentioned is possible, but it’s not in the form of a team.”

Andres did not respond to Ai Wei but looked at Su Fan instead.

The person he wanted to cooperate with was Su Fan, so he wanted to know if Ai Wei’s stance could represent Su Fan’s attitude?

“Yes.”

Su Fan also understood Andres’s doubts, so he immediately nodded. “Ai Wei’s attitude is my attitude.”

Su Fan had enough trust in Ai Wei, and this trust would never change.

After receiving Su Fan’s affirmative reply, Andres heaved a sigh of relief.

Immediately, his gaze landed on Ai Wei.

“Miss Ai Wei, I wonder what you mean by this? Other than forming a team, there shouldn’t be any other way for us to appear in the same dungeon, right?”

“Form an alliance.”

Ai Wei said as she took out a sheepskin contract from her backpack.

“This is an alliance contract. It allows us to temporarily become allies under the witness of the contract god, and to work together to conquer a dungeon.”

“But in terms of price, this thing might not be so…”

“Understood! I understand!”

When Andres heard this, he immediately understood.

“Please tell us a number, Miss Ai Wei?”

“We don’t want money, but I heard that humans have something called a gaming cabin that allows players to stay online for a long time, right?”

“Miss Ai Wei, do you know how much a gaming cabin costs?”

When Andres heard this, he immediately frowned. A gaming cabin was at least 100,000 dollars, this was not a small amount!

“But I think you should be happy?”

Ai Wei’s expression was cold as if she did not hear Andres’s words. She continued to speak.

“Your guild has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation because of the failure of copying Su Fan’s method of clearing the dungeon. Now, other than finding a way to become the first player to complete the class change and salvage your reputation, there is no other way.”

“So you will definitely agree, right?”

Ai Wei’s tone was devoid of any emotion. Even Andres, who was already used to negotiations, could not figure out if this was the other party’s bottom line. Hence, he did not dare to bargain recklessly. He was worried that this rare opportunity would be wasted just like that!

After hesitating for a long time, Andres suddenly realized that he did not need to consider it at all.

Because he had a choice, and that was to agree to the other party!

“Okay! I can agree with your condition. After this dungeon is completed, I will order a gaming cabin for Mr. Su Fan!”

“A wise choice!”
