Chapter 183: Old Feng
How did you know? Starry said in a different way.
Chen Chen’s hands trembled slightly as she said, “We have a tacit understanding, this little thing…”
Really? Then guess what I’m thinking now?
“You are thinking… why the other you is so handsome?”
… Is this a joke?
“…”
…
Just as Chen Chen was talking to herself, more people gradually gathered around.
After dinner, many were preparing to enter this dungeon, and more players had reached level 25.
It is believed that this place will exist as a model dungeon for a long time.
If a complete set of the sparkling gear is obtained, it not only greatly enhances individual combat power but also narrows the equipment gap between regular players and experts.
Of course, all of this is premised on the ability to clear it.
And the gold parties were about to appear as well.
The so-called gold party refers to a powerful team taking a boss through the dungeon, which is considered a somewhat high-end way of farming materials.
However, Chen Chen was not considering this way of making money; firstly, the efficiency is too slow, and secondly, gold parties are prone to disputes.
While chatting with Starry, the voices of a nearby team grew louder, making it hard to ignore.
“Is there anything to eat? But this time he learned to be smart and just stood by to eavesdrop, avoiding getting burned.
“Sister H滑, we really can’t manage this! We thought of the strategy all night, and only with your Earth Knight can we barely accomplish it, and we spent a whole day in practical combat just to scrape by.” The man paused, “Look at this leaderboard; it’s them again!”
“… The knight called Sister H滑 did not respond.
“Our original leveling progress has been delayed for so long because of this dungeon, what’s the point of doing it again?”
“… She was silent for a long time. “Forget it, let’s go back; we’ve stayed in Yunshui City long enough.”
The man seemed to have received understanding as they each pointed out several unreasonable points; if they were internal members, everything could be explained.
Those around them listened to their discussion and felt there was some truth to it. Starry always swept across the crowd with her super strong attributes, regardless of when she killed Yuhua, fought fiercely against others, or defended against the gold-grade boss; she had never been seen failing.
Even in the previous game, there were no reports of such a person.
Chen Chen lowered her head and pretended to look at her bag.
What’s going on? Can that be linked to him? Dungeons are cleared with real skill, alright!
Tears slipped silently, as if lost in thought.
“That’s right, it must be; the officials deliberately sent a few of their own to suppress the players, achieving certain goals.” The man concluded.
“Pfft!” A female archer leaning against the wall couldn’t help but laugh, her huge bow shaking in her arms.
“What’s so funny?” The man said displeased, frowning.
“You said Starry is an official person?” The archer retorted.
Seemingly familiar with that voice, Tears slowly turned around.
“Yes, what’s the matter?”
“Hmph, just because you can’t compare with her, you start spreading rumors? I think you’re just the same.”
“Ahh,” the man sneered, “How long have you been playing? Do you get it? Dare to point fingers at us? On the leaderboard for that medium difficulty dungeon, there are only three teams!”
Glancing over her body, he said, “If you ask me, you should go to a wild team and act a bit cute; maybe with good luck, you can mix into a big boss’s team. Or, I could just…”
“Enough!! Chasing Waves, shut up!” The female knight shouted angrily.
The man called Chasing Waves sighed and quickly fell silent; he rarely saw Tears so angry.
Seeing this, the mocked archer let out a breath, “This is pointless.” She then turned and walked away.
“Wait!”
“What else is there?” She turned back impatiently.
“Have you… battled Starry before?” Sliding Flow tightly clenched her fist and asked.
“No, but I can assure you, she is not an internal person.”
“… I understand, thank you.”
…
Chen Chen was still contemplating whether to jump out and clarify, not noticing that the others had already left.
Suddenly, she felt someone tap her shoulder.
Looking up, a proud figure stood in front, with a towering fire-red bow slung across her back and a slender sword hanging at her left hip.
It was the Twilight Ranger.
“Old Feng?” Starry exclaimed in surprise.
Of course, this was said by Huan Chen.
Fenghuayue’s expression froze, stroking her chin and said, “What kind of ridiculous title is that? Do you usually call other girls like that?”
“Oh, not really; you’re special.”
“???”
“Hahaha, Old Feng, haven’t you helped me kill bosses twice? Since that’s the case, we are brothers now!”
“Please don’t call me that… Just call me Fenghua.” Fenghuayue had a face like “roast me please.”
…
They walked to a relatively secluded corner where usually no players would come by.
“I came this time to find you for something.”
“Going into a dungeon? But I’m already full here.” Huan Chen said awkwardly.
“Not that… Although the Cold Crystal is indeed very strong, I have something more important.”
Saying this, Fenghuayue took out a scroll from her bag.
“This is a scroll my mentor gave me.” She spread the scroll open, which was completely blank.
“Nothing on it?”
“Correct. The purpose of this scroll is to record that I have received an SS-level mission, limited to 3 people. We must set off by tonight at the latest, but I haven’t found suitable candidates; in the end, I think you and that little girl are most suitable.”
“Speaking of which… where is that little girl? Why isn’t she with you?”
“Um… she may have eaten too much recently and might grow a bit stout.” Starry hesitated and pointed at her body, saying, “Look, she’s looking a bit boyish now.”
“… Fenghuayue glanced at Fengchen Yanhua standing there, “Are you serious?”
…
“That’s pretty much it.” Zane’s teammates said as they caught up.
“An SS-level mission… It could be the first one in this game, right? If there’s such an opportunity, don’t bother with any dungeons; we can tackle that difficulty later. Anyway, for a while, no one can clear it; I’ve heard the damage on hard mode is not on the same level as medium.” Brother Shiu thought for a moment and said.
“You guys go ahead; after a clear, the drop rate will be significantly reduced. We can just help Orange farm some herbs; it feels like it’s been a long time since we did that. If we don’t hurry, it’s going to be gone.”
Jiangxia also agreed.
