Chapter 1027: Yun Duo's Request for Help

"Ah Sheng, logging off?"

Su Sheng had just stepped out of the game pod when he saw Huan Jie perching lively on his own bed.

"Huan Jie, you're up so early today?"

Su Sheng opened his mouth with a hint of surprise.

"Everything's basically settled, so I logged off early. I didn't expect you to drag it until the very last moment."

Lin Huan glanced at the time and spoke.

"How's the Dungeon run going, still smooth?"

Lin Huan asked with a smile, because the others only logged off at the time limit, so Lin Huan didn't know the current status of Su Sheng's party's Dungeon run.

Su Sheng thought of how he had taken down the boss at the last moment and couldn't help but flash a slight smile.

"It's okay, the difficulty's not low, but so far it's been relatively smooth."

"The loot's decent as well."

Wei Liao, Su Sheng added.

Although the gear obtained along the way was only those initial little Ghost‑Mask Spider minions.

The boss only dropped materials.

But the experience was still abundant.

Especially the final boss: I knocked it out at the last moment, so I practically hogged the experience; even though I gave more than half to the Suan Ni, the experience I could reap wouldn't be low.

Su Sheng hadn't looked, but guessed that if there's another stage, after clearing this Dungeon he might jump straight to level 71.

I have to say, to level up quickly you still have to rely on Dungeons or quests.

Grinding monsters and the like would take forever.

Moreover, Su Sheng was still thinking about the loot that fell from the boss at the final moment.

Although he hadn't had time to examine what it was, among them was a red light orb, particularly eye‑catching.

Even if it's just a material, it should be a base supply.

A red base supply would certainly not be cheap.

"I'll go take a shower first..."

Su Sheng smiled faintly; although he was lying in the game pod, almost like deep sleep, the various in‑game emotions could still feed back to his body.

For example, after experiencing some tense, thrilling battles in the game, his body would also secrete sweat.

The combat intensity that day wasn't low, so Su Sheng was all sticky.

When Su Sheng finished showering and came out, Lin Huan was still in Su Sheng's room, not having left.

"By the way, Ah Sheng, there's something I want to tell you."

Seeing Su Sheng emerge from the bathroom, Lin Huan said.

"Huan Jie, what's up?"

Su Sheng replied casually.

"It's just that Yun Duo over there wants to borrow some people from us."

Hearing Huan Jie's words, Su Sheng was slightly stunned: "Borrow people, what do they need them for?"

Yun Duo Guild, huh.

"They've secured a base, so they probably want us to help defend the base against monster sieges."

Lin Huan replied.

"Base?"

Su Sheng was a bit puzzled.

If I recall correctly, Yun Duo just barely reached a Level‑2 guild, right? How could they have a Level‑3 so quickly?

Of course, if it were a Mythic‑type guild with a big backing, that would be enough, but Yun Duo's situation is…

"They've obtained an item similar to what we got before, allowing a Level‑2 guild to apply for a base."

Lin Huan explained.

Upon hearing that, Su Sheng's eyebrows twitched slightly; indeed, lucky ones are many—back then I couldn't get that item myself.

It was just that the Yanhuang Guild was founded earlier, so they seized the initiative.

Of course my luck wasn't bad either; a Level‑3 guild already built a small town.

"Yun Duo's base is only a village in scale, right?"

Su Sheng asked.

Lin Huan nodded: "Naturally."

Getting an item that lets you build a base early is already hard enough; how could you build across levels?

So far, aside from Yanhuang Guild's base being town‑scale, all other guilds' bases are still only village‑scale.

"A village base's monster siege isn't…"

He stopped mid‑sentence.

Indeed, without other guilds intervening, a village‑scale base's monster siege difficulty is quite low.

Moreover, Yun Duo Guild seems to have hardly offended anyone; others have offended too harshly.

Even the recent clash with the Imperial Dynasty, the main antagonist was still Yanhuang.

After all, the damage caused by Yun Duo Guild is truly limited.

Logically, Yun Duo Guild's base construction shouldn't be disrupted by anyone.

But Su Sheng thought of Yun Duo Guild's special circumstances and understood why a Yun Duo would borrow people from his side.

Although Su Sheng knows that after Yun Duo Guild upgrades, the recruitment situation has changed somewhat, Yun Duo Guild's weakness cannot be changed in a short time; he estimates that after it upgrades to a third‑level guild, recruiting a few solid members should get things moving.

Furthermore, Yun Duo Guild likely lacks any financial backing to support it, so its development is not fast.

If it were a guild with good relations and potential, Su Sheng might still recommend it to his superiors to see if they could give it a little support, but given Yun Duo Guild's situation, it's better to forget it.

"Alright, you arrange for people, pull ten Thousand‑Person Teams over, that should be about enough."

It's just a monster siege on a village; with the current elite strength of Yan Huang, ten thousand troops are more than enough.

In fact, we don't even need ten thousand; bringing ten thousand is just a precaution.

Although we're basically sure the Imperial Dynasty won't make any moves, it's better to be safe than sorry.

After all, my relations with that Yun Duo faction are still fine, and last time the fragment purchase also went smoothly thanks to that Yun Duo.

We still can't reveal the situation of this fragment on our side; we might invite that Yun Duo to help in the future.

"Fine, then I'll arrange things on my end?"

Lin Huan had no objection to that.

"Alright, we've finished talking about the game; now it's time to talk about our matters."

Su Sheng casually tossed the towel he used to wipe his head to one side and smiled as he moved closer to Huan Jie.

Lin Huan's face flushed slightly, and she gave Su Sheng a white look.

... Everything is left unsaid.

Game time!

Logging in.

Su Sheng also felt refreshed and clear-headed.

At this time, others were also logging in one after another, but everyone's expression was not good.

The time they logged off yesterday was extremely tight; they subconsciously thought Su Sheng also hadn't managed to defeat the boss, so after logging in today they still have to face that troublesome puppet boss and fight it again.

Although they already know the boss's mechanics, facing its terrifying stats means they still need to spend a lot of time even if they know the mechanics.

Moreover, after working so hard yesterday, they ended up falling short at the last moment, so naturally their expressions aren't good.

Only after they all logged in did they suddenly notice that the boss statue in the middle was gone.

What's going on?!

No way!!!
