Chapter: Chapter 69
“You should have a brain in your head, not shit!” Leticia yelled, her mind slightly blown by Bai Ling’s idiotic move.
Two big red words displayed on the black and white screen: Leticia had flipped over.
The traps in low-level dungeons don’t play fair; if they’re meant to instantly kill, they will, no matter how high your level is.
This time, Bai Ling’s misoperation triggered a trap, causing their three-person team to instantly perish.
“Qianqian, don’t say anything about Xiao Bai. She’s just a newbie, it’s normal for her to not understand things,” the leader quickly said to mediate.
Although she was a bit disappointed that their efforts were in vain, she could still control her emotions better than Leticia.
“But the BOSS is just ahead, and now we have to go back to the save point and fight our way back again. It’s so troublesome.” Leticia glared fiercely at the clueless Bai Ling, “Just stay behind me and don’t mess with weird things, okay?”
“Oh, okay.” Bai Ling nodded, then thought she needed to explain her previous action. “I saw a red button over there, so I wanted to see what would happen if I pressed it.”
“My sister, that’s red! Don’t you know what color red is!” Leticia slammed her fist on the table. Is this Bai Ling some kind of idiot? Red buttons are meant to tell you not to press them! How could she have pressed it?
It directly activated the self-destruct program for the entire dungeon, truly leaving one speechless.
“Hahaha, I remember I did something similar back then.” The leader, however, laughed. Bai Ling’s explanation reminded her of herself years ago when she was still in the early stages of exploring. She was as full of curiosity as Bai Ling. “As a result, all the teammates in my party got so angry they ran away.”
“Qianqian, haven’t you ever pressed it, or been curious about what would happen if you pressed this button?”
The leader’s question was a good one. Leticia certainly knew what the button did and what would happen if it was pressed.
Curiosity is something everyone possesses.
“I’ve pressed it, but I only pressed it after completing the dungeon once. I’ve pressed not only this one, but every button, big or small, in this dungeon that can be pressed.”
The leader was surprised. She thought Leticia would say she hadn’t pressed it. She didn’t expect that Leticia was also full of curiosity.
“Then why didn’t you remind me?” Bai Ling interjected.
“Why should I remind you? Who are you to me? Have you no shame?” Leticia turned around and gave Bai Ling, who was looking at her, a defiant middle finger.
When interacting with Bai Ling, Leticia was always particularly irritable.
“Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask you a question: what does it mean to give someone the middle finger?” Bai Ling didn’t quite understand some of Leticia’s actions. For example, the middle finger. She knew Leticia was showing disdain, but she didn’t really understand the true meaning.
“Cough, cough, cough, Bai, it’s better if you don’t know about this,” the leader immediately interrupted.
Given the ambiguous relationship between Bai and Qianqian, along with Bai’s occasional displays of a lack of common sense, the leader was a bit worried that Bai would misunderstand Qianqian’s intentions.
“Why?” Bai Ling didn’t understand.
“If you don’t understand, go look it up yourself! Don’t badger me at this time, okay?” Leticia rolled her eyes. “You two hurry up and catch up, we’re going to fight the boss.”
“With your level, Qianqian, you should be able to solo this boss, right?” The leader immediately maneuvered her character over.
Leticia inserted the key she retrieved from the previous monster room into the brass lock on the door. With a crisp click, the lock on the door shattered into several pieces.
“No matter how many times I see it, this way of opening a door always amazes me,” whispered the leader.
“Compared to opening doors, you should have a deeper impression of that boss, right? After all, it’s the monster known as the most beautiful boss.” Amidst the dazzling golden light, a maiden’s figure slowly appeared. Leticia pouted; it was indeed an old friend she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“I prefer the large butterfly from the Northern Territories event. It’s more beautiful and has more artistic flair. This Saintess here lacks a soul, so she’s not considered good-looking.”
“How can a clone have a soul? If you want a soul, go find the Saintess herself.” Leticia stated that she still preferred humanoid creatures.
Although that large butterfly was very beautiful, Leticia couldn’t describe her feelings towards it using the word ‘like’.
“Finishing the fight and packing up. Bai Ling, you go and touch the chest.” Under the pressure of their level advantage, Leticia didn’t spend much time dealing with the boss. A few small skills were enough, and the boss miserably collapsed on the ground.
A shattered white dress, messy golden short hair, stirring a sense of pity in one’s heart.
“She looks a bit pitiful,” Bai Ling said softly.
A small golden chest had already appeared in front of the boss, containing this dungeon’s completion rewards.
Bai Ling walked to the chest and pressed the interaction key. Instantly, a brilliant golden light erupted.
“Damn, it dropped gold.” Leticia and the leader simultaneously cursed.
The drop rate of this game could be described as outrageously low. Getting a gold drop on the first clear of a dungeon was like being an emperor among European royalty.
“That’s not right, does this dungeon even have gold drop items?” But soon, Leticia realized something was wrong. The highest rarity drop item in this quest should only be purple.
Bai Ling entered this dungeon after accepting a quest. Although she could re-enter and explore after completing it once, the rewards from exploration couldn’t compare to the first clear.
Even for the first clear, the highest rarity drop item in the boss’s treasure chest was only the purple-quality accessory, ‘Saintess’ Hairpin’.
“Ah, this dungeon doesn’t have gold drops?”
“Don’t you know, leader? Gold drops are exclusive to high-level dungeons.” Leticia was shocked. Her leader was too slacking; she didn’t even know this.
“Hmm, Book of Prophecy · One?” At this moment, Bai Ling was already holding the golden item.
Leticia quickly leaned in to take a look. The golden drop item was actually a broken ancient book.
