Chapter 253: The Heart‑Fluttering Zhu Meng Junjie

"Finally arrived..." Su Sheng looked at the Wutong Town ahead; it was already a Safety Zone, so even if Qiancheng Muxue's people wanted to act, they couldn't.

"Quickly go clear the black name," Su Sheng laughed, scolding the "air" beside him.

"Hehe, I still couldn't hide from you, boss; I'm leaving right now..."

In the Guild Channel, Shen Yang replied in a goofy manner.

Shen Yang, this big black name, stayed invisible beside Su Sheng and entered the Safety Zone.

Normally, black‑name players cannot enter a Safety Zone; under normal circumstances, setting aside whether you can get in, a big black name outside would likely be blown up by other players.

Even if you could rush in, the moment you cross into the Safety Zone, NPCs will act and drive you out.

But Shen Yang, this guy, is an exception.

His invisibility skill is something the town's NPC guards simply cannot detect.

Thus, while invisible, Shen Yang can easily slip past those NPC guards and enter the town.

However, while he can hide from NPC guards, he cannot hide from Su Sheng.

Although Su Sheng cannot "see" Shen Yang's presence, he can clearly sense Shen Yang's location.

As for why he recognized it as Shen Yang, it's because everyone else was present.

Who else besides Shen Yang could have that level and be right beside him?

"Brothers, good work; today I'm adjusting the guild warehouse, all items are 30% off," Su Sheng posted in the Guild Channel.

"Also, for the brothers who fell in the recent battle, an extra compensation of 100 guild contribution; attach a battle screenshot of the dropped gear and find the Deputy President, and we will compensate the equipment," Su Sheng added.

"Long live the Chairman!!"

"Whoa, 30% off, enough for my blue two‑handed sword, I'm coming!!"

"Long live!"

During this period, the Yanhuang Guild warehouse has been stockpiling various gear; purple items are close to fifty, and there are countless blue and green ones…

After all, Su Sheng, with Huakai's girl, split forces to "steal" so many dungeons—not a joke.

Furthermore, many guild members have also turned in items they don't need to the guild warehouse in exchange for contribution.

"Everyone, push harder; when we all reach Zhuque City, our guild can achieve Level 2," Su Sheng said to rally the group.

Guild experience points are purely based on members' daily activity.

Grinding monsters, quests, and secondary professions all boost guild experience.

Of course, if you AFK online all day, you naturally won't gain much guild experience.

Moreover, after reaching Level 2, the guild gains a guild attribute buff that can increase members' own stats.

Although the increase is modest, the Level 2 guild buff adds +10 to Strength, Intelligence, Agility, Constitution, and Spirit.

After reaching Level 3, even more can be added; it may look like a mosquito‑leg visual, but attributes are built up bit by bit, after all.

Of course, a Level 1 guild has no beneficial buffs.

"Wutong Town, it's been a long time," Tie Chui Airen said, looking at the town with some nostalgia.

The Wutong Town guards did not block these Dwarves' arrival at all.

Clearly, from Wutong Town's perspective, these Dwarves are friendly units.

"Let's go, we'll use the Teleport Array to go to Zhuque City," Iron Hammer said to Su Sheng.

Su Sheng nodded, then called on Chen Guan and Ten Court Yanluo to arrange the follow‑up cleanup, as he would lead the Dwarves' squad to continue the mission.

Zhuque City—currently, only people from his side can go there.

Of course, if the HuanYu side could use the Qinglong City Teleport Array they could come over, but HuanYu hasn't even finished exploring Qinglong City yet, so they have no mind to come to your Zhuque City.

…

Then Su Sheng led, followed closely by Su Ba, Su Wenhao, and Lin Huan; Huang Mingxin and Li Wenwan were at the rear, and together they entered Wutong Town, leading ten Dwarves with bamboo baskets toward the Teleport Array.

Players nearby cast side glances.

"What kind of mission is this?"

"Who knows, but you see Mo Wen and Qian Chen have already made it to Zhuque City and returned to Wutong Town for this mission, so it's clearly not easy."

"Right, otherwise Qiancheng Muxue wouldn't have been so aggressively intercepting them; they're probably trying to sabotage the mission."

"Mo Wen, the great...," a familiar voice called out at that moment.

Su Sheng turned his head and said, "Zhu Meng, hello."

"You guys are amazing, five thousand of you beat fifteen thousand," Zhu Meng Junjie praised.

Indeed, the ones greeting were the Dream Building Squad; Zhu Meng Junjie led the Dream Building Squad, watching the Yanhuang and Qiancheng Muxue battle the whole time.

It's not that the Dream Building Squad didn't want to help; they know their own limits, and besides, they only have five people—against Qiancheng Muxue's over ten thousand, they'd barely fit into a tooth gap.

"Haha, just average, how about considering joining Yanhuang?" Su Sheng replied with a smile.

Su Sheng has been keeping an eye on Zhu Meng Junjie, the player with the Innate Mission Holy Body.

Lin Huan, Li Wenwan, and a few others looked curiously at the Dream Building Squad members.

For Su Sheng to personally reach out, there must be something special about them.

"I..."

Zhu Meng Junjie hesitated, glancing back at the other four members of the Dream Building Squad.

Clearly the Dream Building Squad hadn't reached a consensus, but it's obvious Zhu Meng Junjie was interested.

Su Sheng wasn't surprised; it's fine if he's interested, just afraid you might be completely uninterested.

Su Sheng reached out and patted Zhu Meng Junjie's shoulder: "No worries, whatever, we're all friends; if you ever change your mind, Yanhuang's doors will always be open to you."

After all, who wouldn't want to be friends with a player who has an Innate Mission Holy Body?

Including this Divine Artifact forging quest, it was only thanks to the Dream Building Squad that it could be triggered.

If it weren't for someone from the Dream Building Squad asking me to help with a quest, my three‑colored Demon God Tree Heart would probably still be in the warehouse.

"Hmm." Zhu Meng Junjie nodded, his expression a little uneasy; after all, Mo Wen the Great Deity had already invited him a second time, and given Mo Wen's reputation and status in the game, Zhu Meng Junjie felt himself a bit ungrateful.

"These Dwarves…" Zhu Meng Junjie looked at that group of Dwarves; he naturally recognized them.

"That token—just as I have decent materials and need to forge something, it triggered a quest," Su Sheng said without holding back, "All thanks to your help."

The Dream Building Squad also possessed a forging permit from the Dwarves.

"This is what Mo Wen the Great Deity owes you; without your help we couldn't have completed the quest," Zhu Meng Junjie said, yet he did not claim credit.

"Alright, I'll continue the quest on my side. We'll talk later; if you change your mind, feel free to contact me at any time," Su Sheng glanced at the Dwarves squad that had already walked away.

"Okay..." Zhu Meng Junjie nodded.

Then the members of the Dream Building Squad saw off Su Sheng's party and that Dwarves squad as they entered the Teleport Array in Wutong Town....
