Chapter 93: Clever Dream Building

~7 min read 1,225 words

I don't know what mission they're on; Su Sheng glanced a few more times and then stopped caring.

But seeing them occasionally aggro one or two demon corpses, they could still barely handle it, their coordination was fine, but their strength seemed a bit lacking.

But after a glance at their uniform game nicknames above their heads, they all started with Zhu Meng.

Just now I was looking for my mage, called Zhu Meng Junjie.

They're probably a gold‑farming squad, maybe from a studio, or a small guild.

Zhu Meng… Su Sheng is quite unfamiliar with it.

…

Su Sheng continued leveling up on his own.

But just after Su Sheng had killed three or four small monsters.

Boom—

Suddenly, at the center of the Graveyard Hill, a huge tremor began.

Su Sheng curiously looked over.

He then discovered that at the central spot, a Graveyard Hill location, a massive coffin was slowly rising.

The coffin was five meters tall—what kind of person's coffin is this extravagant?

That five‑person squad was right beneath the coffin.

Is this the mission target of their squad? Su Sheng watched curiously.

But judging by the look, there should be a boss inside the coffin.

Su Sheng had been leveling in this area for so long that he'd lost count of how many demon corpses he'd killed.

He still hadn't seen a boss—turns out it was parked here.

But since it's someone else's mission, Su Sheng didn't want to interfere—after all, there's no grudge, and besides, Su Sheng isn't the type to steal bosses, except for enemies or unclaimed ones; he wouldn't mess with someone else's target.

Although stealing bosses is completely normal in games, Su Sheng still has his own principles.

Meanwhile, the members of that squad nervously turned to glance at Su Sheng's side.

At first, Zhu Meng Junjie came over to find Su Sheng because he was worried Su Sheng would steal the boss.

After all, if Su Sheng stole the boss, they'd really have no way to deal with it.

But seeing this, Su Sheng also realized they probably weren't from a guild.

After all, guild players taking on a boss wouldn't show up with just a single squad.

They're probably from a studio.

Seeing Su Sheng make no move, the five of Zhu Meng let out a slight sigh of relief, then they focused their attention and prepared to fight the boss.

But Su Sheng lightly shook his head, stopped paying attention to them, and pulled another demon corpse to continue grinding.

Although, Su Sheng indeed had no intention of stealing their mission boss.

But Su Sheng felt that this boss would eventually be his.

From how this squad previously handled those ordinary demon corpses, one could tell that if they only had this few people, they wouldn't be able to deal with this boss.

Although we don't yet know this boss's exact stats, a boss appearing in this 30‑level grinding area of Graveyard Hill can't be that weak.

If they get killed by the boss, as long as the boss doesn't disappear because of their deaths, Su Sheng won't hold back.

As for whether they succeed or fail in their mission afterward, that's no longer Su Sheng's concern.

Although Su Sheng has his own principles, that doesn't mean he's a total pushover.

…

As expected.

Whoosh—

Su Sheng hadn't even fought two monsters yet.

Over there, chaos erupted like chickens flying and dogs jumping.

Su Sheng curled his lips, knowing it would turn out like this.

He lifted his head and saw that the original five‑person squad now had only four members rushing out in a panic.

The original knight was nowhere to be seen.

In the rear, that demon corpse boss over three meters tall was wandering in place, obviously having left the aggro range.

"A 35‑level elite boss!"

"We can't beat it right now—Qi Pao Shui got insta‑killed, didn't even get a chance to heal."

The members of the Dream Building Squad were complaining.

That Zhu Meng Qipaoshui is their squad's main tank.

The full squad consists of four men and one woman, including a girl priest.

At that moment, Su Sheng easily dispatched the small monster in front of him.

After a glance at the Dream Building Squad muttering about what to discuss, Su Sheng didn't say much more—if they left, he'd just take over the boss.

However, a 35‑level elite boss is probably similar in stats to a magic puppet; solo, I think I can handle it.

Let's wait and see; if they leave, we'll talk then—if not, I could call over the Huakai girl or seek the Assassin Alliance, though the Alliance's class limits probably wouldn't help much against this boss.

Afterward, Su Sheng pulled the next monster and started grinding with peace of mind.

But the Dream Building Squad, muttering away, turned their gaze toward Su Sheng.

Afterwards, not knowing what they'd muttered, Zhu Meng Junjie finally led the remaining three over to Su Sheng's side.

But Su Sheng was still fighting monsters; they didn't speak, just watched him fight.

Watching Su Sheng's almost fluid movements, the Dream Building Squad members were momentarily stunned.

It's just too smooth—leaving aside the stats, that smooth maneuver alone is something they couldn't learn.

Su Sheng easily dealt with the small monster in front of him, then looked toward the Dream Building Squad beside him.

"Why do you want me to help fight the boss?" Su Sheng said. Aside from that, the Dream Building Squad had nothing else to ask of him.

"Yes, we are Zhu Meng Studio, a gold‑farming studio; we only have five people now, and we're all first‑time players of this type of game. Great God Mo Wen, could you help us?" Zhu Meng Junjie said sincerely.

"The world is bustling, everyone seeks profit; not taking your boss directly is already going the extra mile for me. As for helping you, what's in it for me?" Su Sheng said with a smile.

"If we help you fight the boss, all the loot except the quest items will be yours, Great God Mo Wen. Furthermore, if you're not satisfied, we can also offer a hundred gold coins—we just liquidated our gold, so that's all we have left." Zhu Meng Junjie's tone was very sincere.

The other three members of the Dream Building Squad bit their lips, clearly very unwilling, yet they said nothing.

This boss was activated by the props they painstakingly obtained from doing quests all along; no one would be willing to give it up.

If it were someone else, they'd probably demand a share of the loot.

But the Dream Building Squad members know their place well; they can't defeat this boss, let alone claim the loot—they'd fail the quest.

As for whether Su Sheng can help them take down the boss, the Dream Building Squad can't be sure, but right now Su Sheng is their only hope.

Needless to say, communicating with smart people is comfortable.

Zhu Meng Junjie's sincerity is very high.

Su Sheng grinned and said, "Party with me."

After all, on my own I might not be able to handle a level‑35 elite, but with the Dream Building Squad I wouldn't need to trouble Huan Jie and the others.

Upon hearing that, Zhu Meng Junjie was overjoyed.

He quickly submitted a party application.
