Chapter 27: Qiancheng Muxue Arrives

During the upcoming Dungeon run, Lin Huan and the three women felt for the first time as if they were just pendants.

They also experienced Su Sheng's monster‑killing speed as if he were cheating.

Even after clearing all the small monsters in Hui Long Zhai, Su Sheng didn't drink a single bottle of blood potion.

As for the final bandit boss, its attack is 230, so high that a normal player at this stage would feel hopeless.

Moreover, this bandit boss's defense exceeds its attack, reaching 250, with 80,000 HP and a boss‑type regeneration of 400 HP per second.

A standard player team would have to struggle hard to defeat it.

But now Su Sheng's core stats—attack and defense—are at 299, just one shy of 300.

Even without Block, this boss, aside from its Rage Slash skill, cannot hurt Su Sheng.

Wielding twin daggers, Zhou Qiqi openly coasted, making it unclear who the real boss was.

(Bandit boss: This boss is unusually hard today; I didn't even break defense.)

After easily defeating this bandit boss, the Dungeon was fully cleared.

Looking at the rewards, there were no blue items, only two green pieces and one white piece.

Su Sheng couldn't use them, so he didn't mind and let Huan Jie handle it.

The experience wasn't lacking, but Su Sheng is already level 13, and the monsters in this Hui Long Zhai Dungeon are mostly level 11–13, so the experience Su Sheng can gain is quite limited.

Moreover, the higher the level, the more experience required to level up, and in a team Dungeon the experience is shared; although Lin Huan is the leader, he has set the experience split to be based on contribution.

Thus Su Sheng alone received 80% of the experience, though it was still divided according to contribution.

So Zhou Qiqi and Zhang Ziyuan said nothing.

But when you calculate it, it seems nobody earned much.

When the Dungeon ended and Lin Huan and the others emerged, they found that Li Wenyan and her group hadn't come out yet.

Come to think of it, with Su Sheng as a "cheat", ordinary players couldn't clear a Dungeon that fast.

"I'll ask how long Li Wenyan's group needs," Lin Huan opened a Private Chat.

A moment later, Lin Huan looked up: "They haven't even seen the boss yet."

That highlighted the gap.

Li Wenyan's side was already a fairly standard strong team.

There were also two Mage damage dealers; aside from that, the output status of the "Mage Master" among regular classes is absolutely unshakable.

Moreover, those five beauties were veteran players who had followed Huakai from the start.

But now Su Sheng has already led them out.

On the other side, the boss hasn't even appeared, showing the disparity.

"Fine, we won't wait for them; we'll go grind monsters to level up first."

"When they come out, we'll give them a coordinate so they can join us."

Lin Huan made the final decision.

The others naturally had no objections.

Because they had witnessed Su Sheng's "abnormal" attribute.

Thus Lin Huan skipped the earlier monster zones and went to a slightly deeper level‑15 monster area.

Blue Flame Demon Bull

Level: 15

Attack: 200

Defense: 200

HP: 8000

Skill: Charge

Description: Brief

Lin Huan shot an arrow, and the monster's stats were displayed.

A thick‑skinned, fairly strong attacker.

Players at this stage don't come here to level up.

Although not impossible to beat, fighting it is too slow and inefficient.

Exactly so; even though Wutong Town has the most players so far, this place is empty.

But with Su Sheng present, these demon bulls don't even break defense.

Thus Su Sheng, Lin Huan and the other two decided to level up here.

Even though Lin Huan still set experience split by contribution, because they're killing monsters above level 5, the experience of Lin Huan's three people keeps climbing.

But calculating carefully, it's still less than the Dungeon's experience reward, showing the Dungeon's advantage; this is because they're killing level‑5 monsters.

About an hour and a half later, Li Wenyan finally arrived with the other members of Huakai, and by then Lin Huan, Zhou Qiqi, and Zhang Ziyuan were about to level up.

"Cousin, why are you so slow?" Zhou Qiqi greeted while hopping around.

"Why did you come out so quickly? Did the Dungeon fail?"

Wu Zhaodi looked at the bull that Su Sheng had easily slaughtered, and didn't think much.

"The Dungeon rewards are indeed good, but the monsters inside are tough, especially that boss; it took a lot of time, though getting two green pieces is decent," Li Wenyan said with a smile, and it was evident that one of her pieces of equipment had changed.

The bandit boss's defense was too high, and with 400 HP regeneration per second, it would have been even more laborious without the two Mages.

"Naturally it succeeded; let's form a team first," Lin Huan said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Haha, thanks to Brother Sheng; Sheng is amazing."

Then Zhou Qiqi chattered about Su Sheng's situation.

Upon hearing that, the women stared at Su Sheng with mouths agape.

From Lin Huan's words they learned that Su Sheng had solidified the Dungeon, so they knew Su Sheng was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be strong to the point of being almost "overpowered".

At that moment, after joining the party they only then noticed that this was a level‑15 monster.

"So impressive."

The group of girls' eyes shone with admiration as they looked at Su Sheng.

"Alright, stop being starstruck, sisters, let's get to work; we can't let my little brother do all the work alone."

Lin Huan clapped his hands.

Huakai has become a famous studio, and Lin Huan even earned a set of school‑district housing; besides being surrounded by a bevy of beauties, he himself is also not weak.

So after the party spread out, the monster‑killing speed indeed increased.

Especially Li Wenwan and Murong Peipei, the two magic elders, after formally changing class, have the Bing Cui and Fireball skills, plus the starter skill Arcane Magic Orb.

The three skills bombarded in rotation; these early monsters have magic resistance almost zero.

Their damage output can even vaguely keep up with Su Sheng.

I have to say, magic elder, you truly are a noble magic elder.

Not long after, Lin Huan, Zhou Qiqi, and Zhang Ziyuan each leveled up.

"Shameless, absolutely shameless!"

At this moment, Zhou Qiqi, who had been goofing off, fumed and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing, Qiqi? Grinding monsters, and you're still goofing off browsing forums?" Li Wenyan raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi stuck out her tongue: "It's not that Sheng‑ge is too awesome; I'm just taking a little shortcut."

Su Sheng smiled lightly, saying nothing; for such a mischievous little girl, Su Sheng had nothing more to add.

"What are you looking at? Who's shameless?"

Lin Huan, unsurprised, also asked.

"Qiancheng Muxue, they want to pick Sheng‑ge's fruit; they announced moving into Wutong Town," Zhou Qiqi said with a scowl.

"So the Top Ten Guilds really are that shameless," Wu Zhaodi said, delivering a Shield Strike that knocked the demon bull in front of her unconscious.

Qiancheng Muxue…

From the start they announced the town they were moving into, a small town beneath the northern Xuanwu Main City.

The basic Top Ten Guilds had already claimed territory for themselves from the outset.
