Chapter 171: Don’t Even Think About It!
Crimson Plain.
“Hero, who is this…?” Alu asked looking at Butterfly.
“This is Die Wu, the queen of the neighboring Spirit King’s Forest,” Huachen said, then pointing at the goblin, introduced, “His name is Alu, the clan leader of the Snow Brother Goblins.”
“Goblins? Are they Big Brother’s friends?”
“Pretty much.” Huachen nodded. “Alu, can you let her stay for a while?”
“No problem, as long as she is someone you trust.”
“That’s good. By the way, don’t bully her just because she looks cute!” Huachen added with concern.
“…Alu wiped cold sweat, “You’re joking.”
Now that he was at Gold Grade, he could still tell that this butterfly’s power was far above his; anyone daring to cause trouble would definitely be in for it.
Suddenly remembering something, Huachen said, “Alright, Pori, come out.”
The goblin who had been following stepped forward.
Alu was surprised, “You’re still alive!?”
However, Pori was even more shocked. Joke’s on them—how did such a large Undead Army not take them out yesterday?
In terms of numbers, there were almost no casualties, and even the camp remained intact.
“See, I wasn’t lying to you,” Lan Chen said lightly.
“Puh…” The goblin was temporarily at a loss for words, but after a moment of hesitation, said, “I’ve done that, they won’t take me in again…”
“No, quite the opposite,” Alu interrupted. “We really need your wisdom. I also didn’t believe I could withstand them, but I managed to do it thanks to the hero’s help.”
“…”
“Come on, just go. You’ve already played those battle fools to death; only in this place will you have a future,” Lan Chen pushed him.
The goblin took a few steps forward, reached Alu’s front, took a deep breath, and then bowed his head. “Lord Alu, can I come back?”
“Of course.” The goblin nodded.
No kidding—if there wasn’t a professional who understood construction guiding them… He looked at the crooked camp and felt quite pained.
Pori was deeply moved, opened his arms, and couldn’t help but hug tightly.
However, he felt a lightness in his body, as if he had been picked up.
“Brother, what’s this?” Die Wu lifted Pori, curiously looking at the tiny particle in his hand.
Pori felt a chill; no matter how careful he had been…
“Hey Pori, do you think the contract has expired?”
“What… what do you mean?” The goblin forced himself to calm down.
“Forget it, I guessed you’d mess things up; I just didn’t expect it to be so quick,” Yang Chen said speechlessly. “Just right, Die Wu, help me keep an eye on him so he doesn’t cause trouble.”
“Yes, I promise to complete the mission!” Die Wu replied seriously.
Hearing this, Pori’s eyes dimmed, as if he had lost his dream.
…
After dealing with these matters, it was already 1 AM.
Glancing at the friend list, Brother Shiu was still online, while everyone else had logged off.
He intended to send a message, but a wave of resentment surged up, almost making him fall asleep on the spot. The events of the day piled up with no time to rest.
“Starry, I’m so sleepy… let’s talk about those things tomorrow.”
No response.
“Starry?”
“Ah, I got it.” She came back to her senses from her thoughts and answered.
Shu Chen didn’t mind, logged off, took a shower, and then lay down on the bed.
Not even a minute passed before he fell into deep sleep.
Time always flies when sleeping.
It felt like just a moment had passed, but ten hours had already gone by.
Ten hours…
Shu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the numbers on his phone.
11:19
No way, did I sleep till noon?
He pulled back the curtains, and the scorching sunlight shone directly through the glass.
Knock, knock, knock.
At the same time, a knock was heard at the door.
“Brother, have you gotten up?” It was Ziyu’s voice.
“Just got up, is there something?”
“It’s almost time for the helmet release. I’m going out; what do you want for lunch?”
Oh, right, the helmet release time is supposed to be at 12… what the hell, why is she buying a helmet? “Are you going to play Dream of the Mists too?”
“…Brother, you’re not pretending to have amnesia, are you? Do you think I’d forget about yesterday just because you’re acting dumb?”
So, what happened yesterday?
Forget it, food is more important. “Get me a serving of Orleans chicken steak rice!”
“Got it.” Ziyu replied.
Haha, the sound of footsteps faded away.
Less than three minutes later.
Tap tap tap, a more hurried sound of footsteps approached.
“Brother, open the door.”
“What else is there?”
“I have something to give you.”
Something? It’s not my birthday today.
“Coming.”
He opened the door and saw Ziyu wearing a red short-sleeve shirt and blue hot pants.
She was holding two bulging bags.
“Brother, I thought about it all night yesterday. Everyone has some weird quirks, but yours is a little more special. But, you can’t expose it on the street! These are some of my looser clothes from before; don’t worry, I’ve washed them very clean. If you can’t help it, just let it out in your room, don’t do it in public!”
This series of words left Shu Chen bewildered; what was all this about?
Ziyu handed the bags over to him and walked toward the door.
Wait! “Dust came back to his senses.
Don’t even think about intimate clothing!” Huayu turned back and shouted, then opened the door and left.
“…”
Opening the bag, oh man, it was filled with women’s clothing!
“???”
…
Looking at the two bags, Dust fell into contemplation.
Buzz buzz buzz—
Suddenly, his phone vibrated.
He grabbed it and saw it was Brother Shiu.
He answered.
“Alu, what did you do yesterday? Why didn’t you respond all day?”
“Ugh, don’t mention it… Remember the Spirit King’s Forest next to Crimson Plain?”
“Yeah, what happened?”
“There’s a mirage inside, and I accidentally fell in; the penalty for death is a 10-level drop and a 33% decrease in all attributes. Plus, I can’t communicate with the outside world.”
“Wow—Brother Shiu gasped, is there really that crazy of a dungeon?”
“You bet, and it gets better; I encountered six bosses, five Gold Grade and one Platinum Grade!”
“….”
“Why are you silent?”
“Sounds like a load of crap.” Brother Shiu said speechlessly, “Can you come out today?”
“Absolutely!”
“By the way, you should know about the dungeon, right?”
“What? Dream of the Mists has a dungeon?”
“…You should check the forum yourself. Get online when you can; the wild players’ performance is really hard to praise, and they can’t handle a bit of criticism. You can blow up in less than ten minutes.”
…
Opening the forum, it had only been a day, but the hottest topic had already turned into discussions about the new dungeon.
Chasing the Cold Crystal Giant.
According to the masters who completed it on simple difficulty, there would be a hidden CG after clearing it—
It roughly said that the Cold Crystal Mine was the place where an ancient powerful being fell, and the scattered power formed this Cold Crystal Mine.
As time passed, the pressure of the powerful being gradually dissipated, and the once unknown Cold Crystal Mine finally revealed itself to the public eye.
