Chapter 21: When did I say I was going to give the resources to her?

At the same time,

under the Goblin Nest dungeon vortex,

a group of people were crowding around a team that had just come out.

"Holy crap! Is Classmate Yuwen Hao really an A-rank class? Not only did he clear the Goblin Nest on Master difficulty, but he also broke the record that's stood for years!"

"Have to say, these big family heirs are truly badass. I remember when the Silver Wolf Guild cleared it, they used five A-rank classes, right?" "Yeah, and Classmate Yuwen Hao's team even has a B-rank Priest Traveler. Who would've thought he could clear it with that!"

"Classmate Yuwen Hao is a Barrier Master; you can't treat him like a normal A-rank class."

"Don't forget, Classmate Yuwen Hao was only level seven when he entered the dungeon. If he didn't have the strength, how could the other four professionals have carried a dead weight through a Master-level dungeon?"

"Looking at it this way, the Barrier Master class is fully capable of rivaling S-rank."

"So envious."

Surrounded by a crowd, Classmate Yuwen Hao and his team had just emerged from the Master-level Goblin Nest.

Classmate Yuwen Hao’s gear was tattered and torn, and he looked a bit disheveled.

Yet, this couldn't hide the uncontrollable smile on his face.

Finally, he’d passed.

He’d come out of the novice dungeon and put in all that effort—wasn't it all for this very moment?

Especially that line:

'Fully capable of rivaling S-rank.'

Classmate Yuwen Hao immediately felt that all the effort was worth more than the price paid!

He’d spent so much to clear the Master-level difficulty for nothing more than two reasons.

First, to get the General's Ring and boost his combat power in preparation for the level 20 second-turn mission.

The second reason was to tell the City Lord.

Who exactly was qualified to take that S-rank resource!

To be honest, in the novice dungeon, the strength Li Yao displayed had truly startled him, and later rumors even claimed Li Yao had awakened a talent.

At the time, Classmate Yuwen Hao hadn't planned on making an enemy of Li Yao.

Awakening a talent compatible with one's class allowed one to claim SS-rank resources, which didn't conflict with the S-rank resource he had his eye on.

But the very next day, he heard his S-rank resource was gone.

Classmate Yuwen Hao immediately developed a murderous intent.

"No matter how strong he acted early on, he's just a Summoner in the end. He can't even protect his own resources, and he wants to snatch mine?"

Classmate Yuwen Hao sneered repeatedly.

As for whether Li Yao could also clear the Master-level difficulty, Classmate Yuwen Hao hadn't even considered it.

The Silver Wolf Guild made its living by raiding dungeons, and their strength lay in the power of their high-tier professionals.

The low-tier professionals in the guild were mostly just talented young people.

They definitely couldn't compare to the veteran professionals his family hired at high salaries.

Want to carry Li Yao through a Master-level dungeon?

Keep dreaming!

Besides, that kid Li Yao had entered the Nightmare-level difficulty in full view of everyone.

'Best if he dies in there!'

Classmate Yuwen Hao thought viciously.

Just at that moment.

Classmate Yuwen Hao noticed a stunningly beautiful figure in the crowd ahead, standing out from the rest.

She seemed to be chatting with people, looking for a team to raid the dungeon.

Classmate Yuwen Hao felt a surge of heat and walked quickly toward her.

"Classmate Goddess Jiang, why are you here too?"

The beautiful figure heard the voice and was slightly 'stunned'.

She turned slowly, reaching up to brush a strand of hair from her forehead, revealing a delicate profile.

Seeing who it was, Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu said in pleasant surprise.

"Classmate Classmate Yuwen? What a coincidence, are you here to raid the Goblin Nest dungeon too?"

Her stunning face and the long, slender legs exposed outside her robe.

Even the young master of the Classmate Yuwen family, who was used to all sorts of beauties, couldn't help but find it hard to look away.

Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu was very good at using her advantages; even when choosing gear, she prioritized pieces that showed off her figure.

The two had met once in the novice dungeon.

Classmate Yuwen Hao had a deep impression of this sweet-looking girl who carried a hint of coldness.

Not to mention, she was an A-rank Frost Controller.

Classmate Yuwen Hao felt as if he had met his soulmate.

Not expecting to meet again so soon, Classmate Yuwen Hao weighed his tone and said nonchalantly.

"Yeah, I came to grind the dungeon to level up. Just came out of the Master-level one, actually."

"Master-level difficulty? Classmate Classmate Yuwen, are you talking about the Master-level Goblin Nest?"

Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu covered her mouth, looking completely stunned.

Classmate Yuwen Hao was extremely pleased: "Hahaha, it’s thanks to my family's help. Otherwise, I was only level seven when I went in; how could I have passed Master-level difficulty?"

Seemingly humble.

But actually telling Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu: don't look at me being level nine now; I was only level seven when I entered. Clearing Master-level at level seven—the value of that goes without saying.

"Level seven?"

Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu looked as if she were too surprised to speak.

"Classmate Classmate Yuwen, you entered a Master-level dungeon at level seven? Even with your family's help, I definitely wouldn't have the guts."

"Not to mention, my family is just an ordinary one; no one in my family is a professional."

Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu looked at Classmate Yuwen Hao, biting her cherry lips, hesitating as if she were deliberately distancing herself.

"Classmate Classmate Yuwen, I'll go find a team first. I need to work hard to level up so I don't fall too far behind you big family heirs."

Classmate Yuwen Hao saw it in his eyes and felt it in his heart.

A girl so unpretentious and hardworking—they were so rare!

He spoke immediately: "Classmate Goddess Jiang, do you take me for someone like Li Yao?"

"We've met before, and as classmates from neighboring schools, how could I just leave you to fend for yourself?"

"Come, join our team. I can't promise to carry you through Master-level, but Difficult-level is just a walk in the park, isn't it?"

"Is that okay? I'm afraid others will misunderstand."

Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu said timidly.

At the same time, her body moved unconsciously to Classmate Yuwen Hao's side, joining the team.

"Misunderstand? What's there to misunderstand? You've already broken up with Li Yao, who could possibly misunderstand?"

Looking at the beautiful figure beside him, Classmate Yuwen Hao felt an itch in his heart and couldn't help but lower his voice.

"Classmate Goddess Jiang, don't look at me like I'm Li Yao."

"Whatever he could give you, I can give you. Whatever he couldn't, I can!"

"Didn't he break up with you? And he even took the A-rank skill badge that should have been yours. Don't worry, I'll make the call for you!"

"To be honest, I'm determined to get that guy Li Yao's resources."

"When I get the S-rank resource, that A-rank resource of mine..."

Hearing this, Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu suppressed her excitement, frowned, and stepped back repeatedly.

"No, no, no, I can't take that A-rank resource. We're just ordinary friends; how could I accept such a valuable gift?"

"Hm?"

Classmate Yuwen Hao was stunned. When did I say I was giving her the A-rank resource?

That A-rank resource was meant for my underling, though I could give the A-rank potion inside to Classmate Goddess Jiang.

But since the atmosphere was already there, Classmate Yuwen Hao’s brain heated up.

"Can Classmate Goddess Jiang and I only be friends?"

"You're annoying!"

Goddess Jiang Goddess Jiang Ningyu pouted, her smiling eyes charming.
