Chapter 178: Another Wave of Turmoil

Some things in the game.

Hearing that, Su Sheng didn't hide anything and briefly explained the Dungeon and the challenges they were facing.

Then Su Sheng thought of something: "By the way, Dad, have you completed your job change?"

Su Wenhao heard that and smiled smugly: "If you don't recognize who your dad is, how could I be any worse? Of course it's done."

"Now your dad, I'm also a Hidden Class."

"Dad was taken for a ride by that Fangshi Mentor all the way; we Huakai sisters were just accompanying," Lin Huan said softly at that moment.

"What Fangshi Mentor? That's my brother in the game, your dad,"

Dad chuckled.

"Then I still have to call you uncle..." Su Sheng muttered helplessly.

Having become brothers with a game NPC, I guess only my own dad has that unique relationship.

"As long as the quest is completed, that's fine," Su Sheng said, unable to comment further.

"For you, that 6‑million‑gold item, since you used it, help Lin Huan properly," at this moment Huang Hui glared at Su Ba.

Su Ba fell silent immediately, grinning cheekily.

Seeing this, Su Sheng smiled silently, realizing that only Mom could keep Dad in check.

Huang Hui still instinctively thought that Lin Huan was in charge of the game matters, completely unaware that the Huakai were now basically following Su Sheng's directions.

Including Lin Huan himself, who also follows Su Sheng's plan.

"Hehe, don't say any more."

"The issue Huan Huan just discussed with A‑Sheng, perhaps I can actually help."

Su Ba then said mysteriously.

"Eh?" Su Sheng was startled, looking up at his own dad.

Lin Huan also set down their chopsticks, waiting quietly for Su Ba's continuation.

"Stop beating around the bush and speak up," Huang Hui, clearly curious, tapped Su Ba's hand with her chopsticks.

"Umm... umm... let me speak," Su Ba shrank his head.

"A‑Sheng means we need to infiltrate with five people without being spotted by those little monsters."

Su Wenhao looked at Su Sheng and Lin Huan and said.

"Right, if they were assassins it would be easy, but a pure Assassin team entering the Dungeon isn't very effective," Su Sheng nodded.

"I just learned a new seal from your uncle, the Mist Seal."

Su Ba took a bite of breakfast.

Su Sheng was startled—"Uncle?"—then realized it referred to that Fangshi Mentor.

"Its effect creates a mist covering an area of five meters, moving with the caster, lasting two minutes."

"Players inside the mist default to stealth, unless a monster enters the mist, they won't be detected."

"I originally thought this seal was useless," Su Wenhao said.

"Huh?" Su Sheng blinked, "Nice item."

In a way, the seal's effect really isn't that great.

At least for players it's ineffective; a white mist moves, and players aren't stupid.

But for wild monsters it's quite handy, especially now; the Mist Seal is a lifesaver.

"As for that BOSS's time limit, there's a way," Su Wenhao continued.

"Hm?" Su Sheng looked up.

"The Prison Cage Talisman that the Fangshi of the Higan Flower Guild used before—see if we can retrieve a copy; once I master it, I can limit that BOSS for three seconds," Su Ba said.

Su Sheng's eyes lit up: "Prison Cage Talisman, I have one."

It's perfect timing; I just crafted one last night.

"What?"

Su Ba and Lin Huan looked at Su Sheng in surprise. Hidden Skill Books aren't easy to obtain.

"It just dropped last night; the drop rate for low‑rank Demon Race troops is still high," Su Sheng explained.

"It seems that monsters linked to Demon Energy or the Demon Race give higher XP and drop rates, and their stats are also higher," Su Sheng continued.

Hearing that, Lin Huan nodded thoughtfully.

"Then tonight I'll log in and craft a few Mist Seals to test," Su Wenhao also said.

"Fine," Su Sheng nodded.

【9】 It remained a relatively calm day, but at noon Su Sheng pulled Chen Guan into Wu Long's shop for a quick meetup.

It was still a relatively calm day, but at noon Su Sheng took Chen Guan to Wu Long's little shop and met with Wu Long.

At the same time Su Sheng told Chen Guan about the Dungeon.

Chen Guan could only lick his lips, noting that the Assassin Alliance's special nature means that without outside help, most Dungeons are out of reach.

After work, Su Sheng logged in immediately.

The other Huakai girls were still leveling, mostly at 28–29, and should reach level 30 and change gear in a day or two.

Su Sheng planned to guard a three‑person low‑rank Demon Race squad here all day; unless luck is terrible or something unexpected happens, he should reach level 35 today and equip two new items.

As for the Prison Cage Talisman Hidden Skill Book, it's already in hand, so giving it to Dad later is the same.

But, human plans can't beat fate.

Su Sheng guarded there for less than an hour.

A Private Chat from Lin Huan arrived.

"A‑Sheng, Dad got killed."

Su Sheng was stunned; wasn't Dad gathering materials for the Mist Seal?

When he first went online, Su Sheng also received a Private Chat from his father, saying he would first gather materials and send the mist talisman to Su Sheng after making it.

"What's the situation?" Su Sheng asked.

"It's Qiancheng Muxue again." Lin Huan replied, also explaining the background.

After hearing Lin Huan's explanation, Su Sheng finally understood the background.

Again, that Qiancheng Leng Shao.

His father was indeed gathering materials to make the mist talisman, but the talisman required a special material, the mist crystal core.

These mist crystal cores are from a level-35 mist butterfly.

The mist butterfly is a high-attack, low-defense, low-health monster, which can be said to be a quality training target.

The training spot for the mist butterfly had been monopolized by Qiancheng Muxue's two Thousand-Person Teams.

His father considered going to kill a few mist butterflies to see if he could obtain the mist crystal core.

But Qiancheng Muxue had bought out the area, so how could they let his father in.

Unable to enter, his father proposed buying a few mist crystal cores.

At first, those Core Members of Qiancheng Muxue also agreed.

It was just a few mist crystal cores; the materials dropped by these mist butterflies, aside from the recycle shop, currently have no known use.

Who to sell it to, isn't that the wrong buyer?

But unfortunately, the commotion here attracted the leaders of these two Qiancheng Muxue Core Teams… Qiancheng Leng Shao.

Qiancheng Leng Shao saw his father wearing the black-and-white yin-yang law robe and immediately had ideas.

The black-and-white law robe was obviously a good item at first glance.

Su Sheng knew that the yin-yang law robe, after completing the quest, would become a piece of Purple Equipment, but it was a Combined Equipment, similar to Su Sheng's Mysterious Ring.

It was just a component of the set, lacking the Mysterious Ring.

Moreover, it was bound equipment, exclusive to Yin-Yang Practitioners, so his father could not trade it even if he wanted to.

Qiancheng Leng Shao's meaning was simple.

Want the mist crystal core? Sure, exchange it for the black-and-white robe on your person.

Su Ba naturally refused, thinking of turning back to find Su Sheng and Lin Huan for a solution.

But how could Qiancheng Leng Shao, who had ulterior motives, let his father go so easily…
