Chapter 28: Lin Huan's Worry

Now, Qiancheng Muxue, being one of the top ten guilds, has abandoned the territory they originally "drawn" for themselves and set their sights on Wutong Town.

On the forum, the Qiancheng Muxue guild's homepage indeed has a flood of discussions.

Many players think Qiancheng Muxue lacks the stature of a top ten guild, because they discarded their baseline for a rookie Dungeon.

Some players also think Qiancheng Muxue's move is fine; after all, for development, clinging to a hollow framework while giving up present advantages is the foolish one.

Other top ten guilds can't swallow their pride, but Qiancheng Muxue doesn't care, so its scope is actually larger.

A multitude of players continue to discuss.

Among them, Qiancheng Muxue also posted on the forum, welcoming the player from the Solidified Instance to join Qiancheng Muxue; they can enter the core team directly and receive excellent treatment.

The other players also expressed envy.

The core team of a top ten guild, huh.

Those are officially contracted core members, all receiving salaries, and not low ones.

Glancing at Qiancheng Muxue's announcement post on the forum, Su Sheng faintly showed a trace of a smile.

Qiancheng Muxue, if they knew the Solidified Instance player was the mortal enemy they once had in "Qun Xiong", what expression would they make?

And moreover...

If you saw me, what expression would you have... Du Juan.

Su Sheng's expression was somewhat complicated.

But it's fine that they came; I was just thinking I wouldn't have a chance to deal with Qiancheng Muxue anytime soon, and now that Qiancheng Muxue arrives at Wutong Town, it's a perfect chance to settle both new and old grudges.

"Hehe, Wutong Town, Qiancheng Muxue, we're coming too."

At that moment, Su Sheng saw a comment under Qiancheng Muxue's announcement, and the nickname was... Kong Lang!

Qiancheng Leng Shao: "You guys just won't go away, who's afraid of whom!"

Player A: "What's going on?"

B: "A newcomer, huh, haha, the veteran players of Qun Xiong all know."

C: "That's a generational feud."

D: "It's a long story, what a saga of love and hatred."

Recalling the previous penguin news, looking at the nickname before him, Su Sheng felt nostalgic.

"Everyone's here…" Su Sheng whispered.

"Hey, Ah Sheng, I don't know whether you solidified this Dungeon is good or bad; I originally said Wutong Town is a bit remote, competition isn't that fierce, we could develop slowly."

"Now the top ten guilds are all flocking here." Lin Huan felt a bit emotional.

"Don't panic, Sister Huan, I'm still here." Su Sheng grinned, and with a swift Shield Strike, luckily knocked the magic bull in front unconscious.

"Yeah yeah, Brother Sheng is awesome, he can definitely carry our Huakai!" Zhang Qiqi shouted while jumping and laughing.

"Indeed, Ah Sheng, what am I still afraid of?" Lin Huan said, smiling at Su Sheng.

"Level up, level up! Who cares about the top ten guilds, we're just a gold‑farming studio!" Li Wenyan said boisterously.

"Right, Qiqi's not wrong; Ah Sheng is now the number one player in the game! We might just be able to leave any top ten guild behind!" Mu Rong Peipei, the law elder, chimed in.

"Alright, I know our Flower doesn't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!" Lin Huan nocked an arrow, Triple Arrow! whoosh whoosh whoosh~ three arrows in rapid succession, directly slaying the low‑HP Qingyan magic bull in front of Wu Zhaodi.

As for Su Sheng's side, no help was needed at all; occasionally Su Sheng could even turn around and look after them.

At first, Priest Huang Mingxin would occasionally check whether Su Sheng needed a heal, but found it completely unnecessary, so after granting Su Sheng an Inspire buff, she focused solely on the health bars of Huakai's sisters.

These Blue Flame magic bulls simply couldn't break Su Sheng's defense, and with the Wolf Fang Pendant's 3% lifesteal, Su Sheng's HP naturally didn't need monitoring, though the Inspire buff was still quite good.

Inspire: Increases attack and defense attributes by 5%, raises the caster's health cap by 1% of spirit attribute, lasts ten minutes.

Su Sheng, whose base stats are already abnormal, can, with the Inspire buff, pull four or five magic bulls at once for damage.

The group then calmly farmed monsters in that area.

Although the level‑15 Blue Flame magic bulls give decent experience and the farming speed is fast.

But Su Sheng is level 13, the Blue Flame magic bulls are only two levels higher, so leveling up will be quite a challenge.

Su Sheng calculated the time and experience, estimating that grinding here all night would barely get him to level 14, thanks to his fast farming.

It's also to look after the Huakai ladies; otherwise Su Sheng could have ventured deeper.

Su Sheng glanced back at the Huakai ladies and the focused Huan Jie, smiled faintly, didn't mind the speed, and kept grinding.

This time, he entered the game to help Huan Jie, so he naturally didn't consider the ladies a burden.

Perhaps most players who entered Wutong Town now, including Qiancheng Muxue, which has announced its settlement there, are all tackling the Hui Long Zhai Dungeon.

As for Hui Long Zhai's coordinates, when Su Sheng led Lin Huan into the Dungeon, players who had found them already posted the info on the forum.

With equipment backed by Su Sheng, Huakai's squad is now considered First Tier players; it took them nearly two hours to capture Hui Long Zhai.

Not to mention other players, but compared to the gains, it's still quite substantial.

After all, the experience from these level‑15 mobs doesn't match that of Hui Long Zhai's minions.

Thus, the outdoor game map of Wutong Town isn't crowded with players at this moment.

Repeated grinding over long periods is actually tiring.

But with a flock of chirping birds around, Su Sheng naturally felt no fatigue.

Although the drop rate for gear from wild mobs is low, over long grinding they still dropped some level‑15 white gear, but not a single green piece.

While level‑15 white gear's stats are decent, no one can equip them; moreover, they're comparable to the level‑10 green gear from Hui Long Zhai, so there's really no excitement.

"Ah Sheng, Mom and Dad have arrived."

At that moment, Lin Huan sent Su Sheng a message via Private Chat.

Su Sheng's hand paused as the Blue Flame magic bull's horn nudged him, dealing a harmless white damage.

"Bring Mom and Dad over? Level up together with them." Su Sheng said to Lin Huan in the Private Chat.

But Lin Huan gave a wry smile: "Mom and Dad don't want to come; he said they're old, just coming in to look around and play is fine, if they can't help then forget it, they just can't hold us back."

"..." Su Sheng remained silent; this indeed is the style of the old couple.

Now the old couple have also experienced the game, they have a basic understanding of it, and naturally it's clear that if Su Sheng and Lin Huan bring them along to level up, they'll only hold us back.
