I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1683  The Smuggler Group Leader

"I need to take part in the war, or else my bones won't satisfy my needs for one year!" He looked at the Holy Ones bones and decided to stop using them.

These bones, alongside the dark realm ones, were his most precious assets. He didn't have another means to get them, at least for now. So, he decided to stick to using just normal bones, knowing this would raise the total cost to something scary.

He knew this was just the beginning. If he kept increasing the number of trees, investing everything he gained and got into planting more trees, then it wouldn't be surprising to use billions of bones to let the trees just grow up.

He wouldn't care if this was temporary, as the results were great. But this was going on like a snowball, with every new planting, more bones would be needed.

"I now realise why this heart wasn't that popular and the previous owner didn't keep it," he muttered to himself, squeezing his temples while feeling the pressure already.

He was someone who had a magical solution to all this, and he was already feeling the struggle waiting for him in the near future. Imagining how the previous owners of this heart felt made him inwardly sigh.

[Hey man, are you there?] Just when he was feeling down thanks to the heart and bones issue, he heard the voice of Silverlining ranging in his ears.

[Did you get a link with anyone?] Hye now wasn't feeling the same thirst and hunger towards crystals. Instead, he was craving to get more bones.

But if he could get crystals in a fast way from the smugglers, then it'd help him a lot. After all, he decided to not just stand by and watch the upcoming war, but directly take part in it.

To do so, he needed to arm up and level his warriors to a sufficient stage. He didn't intend to keep his life safe; he wanted to crush his enemies and gather up lots of bones.

Yet things were never to be that easy for him! After all, wars in the grand universe were much different than the ones he used to experience back at the apocalypse.

[Did I ever fail you? Hahahaha! I got a connection with someone who is active at your region]

[Hurry up then and let me speak with him] Hye wasn't in a good mood right now, [I don't want to waste time until the war draws closer, and he'll be gone with other smugglers]

[Gone? No, he is going to stay] Silverlining felt a bit weird, before he realised this was thanks to Hye's lack of experience in how wars were conducted in the universe, [Smugglers and other dark traders and dealers will flock this region for war]

[Come here? Are they nuts?!]

[They are smart! In any war, lots of damage will happen. Imagine having access to the grand vaults of the big families in this world, with no one caring about who steals what! Isn't that amazing?]

[But they are risking losing lots of their members, even all of them if they get in the middle of the ongoing clash between the two sides!]

[That's a risk they'd accept for sure] Silverlining paused, [Now, do you want to meet him or what?]

[He is here?!] Hye was more surprised by this. He thought only delegates and low levelled members of this smuggler group would be in this world. As for the big shots, they'd be far and safe from here.

[Told you, they are going to gather here to collect their loot]

[Arrange a meeting then] Hye was eager to get to know such a dark side of this universe, [Make sure it's somewhere secretive and safe. I got enough heat over my back]

[Let me speak with him about the details of the meeting and will return to you]

Silverlining took more time than what Hye expected. Instead of responding to him in a few hours, he took another week to do so!

During which, Hye kept nagging Silverlining about the response. All he got was to just hold on and wait, as the leader of this smuggler group was quite busy.

Hye didn't have anything else to do but to take out his closest warriors, the ones he trusted the most, the Soulers. He spoke with Lucas, ending up deciding to arm up a group of ten thousand first and let them rise to level two.

Hye got a weapon that could raise his power enough, but he wanted soldiers to fight and pave the path for him as well. Among everything else he got, the Soulers were considered the best.

He made a little mistake here, one that he'd realise later on. He was thinking about how to fight this war based on the apocalyptic rules, the old rules that didn't apply anymore in the new world of the universe.

something that Hye asked her to do. He already made lots of deals with merchants from various families, and it was now time to He left Lucas to be on his side, promised him to strengthen him first then his vices.

During all this time, the green nymph lady was dealing with something that Hye asked her to do. He already made lots of deals with merchants from various families, and it was now time to collect the first batch of crystals from them.

She was out for a few days now, meeting up with lots of merchants. She'd collect the crystals from them, transfer them to Hye, while the latter would send them the bones as promised.

This was something these merchants asked to do, all of them actually. This was done to avoid any watchful eyes over Hye. And he suspected this was something that these merchants used to make deals with the smugglers and illegal merchants.

He didn't object to doing it this way. He knew he could do this remotely, but they insisted on sending someone to pick the crystals as they didn't have access to load them into their inventories.

What he didn't know was that all the merchant families here used the same method to watch the ones working with them.
