Chapter 209: The Ring of the Hidden

If you ask where to go after quitting the organization…

Going solo is definitely fine, just a bit hard on Guanghui. Chen Qing Shan slowly opened his eyes; if he had to join someone… it would definitely be Wu Ya!

It's just that I don't know what Guanghui thinks, so I need to talk to Guanghui first, and Wu Ya doesn't accept just anyone—he has to see my value!

Thinking that, Chen Qing Shan immediately sat upright, opened the chat window with Cheng Ershui, and began typing his résumé to sell himself.

When the system finished announcing the Epic-level Instance rankings, Cheng Shuili received three messages.

【Qing Shan Yuan Xing】: Wu Ya Dalao, hello! I am Chen Qing Shan, sorry to disturb. Although we haven't interacted much before, I have admired your great name for a long time! This time the Epic-level Instance I luckily took first place, all thanks to you! Honestly, I'm not interested in the power struggles in my current organization; I rather yearn for the free‑development atmosphere on your side.

【Qing Shan Yuan Xing】: Briefly introduce my advantages: 1. Skilled in car repair (did that in a past life). 2. Have management experience, previously managed a logistics team of over two hundred people. 3. Can fight and handle pressure, Instance survival rate 100%!

【Qing Shan Yuan Xing】: I know your threshold is high, but Guanghui and I are preparing to go solo recently. If you don't mind, the two of us could be peripheral members, absolutely obey commands, deliver all required supplies without shortfall! Please consider?

Cheng Shuili gently frowned; after reading it she felt even more like a monk who can't touch his own head.

What the heck is this guy doing?

She didn't get to reply, because the system finally finished the nonsense and started announcing the Hell-level results!

【Hell-level: First place Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, time 12 minutes 14 seconds!】

……】

Ahhh! The moment everyone has been watching! Our Wu God's result! Finally announced!

Throw flowers! Throw flowers! Throw flowers! Throw flowers!

Where did the robot come from? Why is everything a human‑machine?

Honestly, this time Wu Ya's result is a bit poor, almost didn't surpass the Normal-level first place.

The comment upstairs made me laugh. Isn't it normal that the Hell-level Instance time is longer than the Normal-level first place? Your demands are too high!

It's because Wu Ya Dalao was too overpowered before, spoiling people with his results! What are they even saying, really impressed.

Cheng Shuili silently watched for a while, regarding the fact that this time the time was clearly longer. She thought it was all the Wolf King's problem! She said they were in a hurry, yet he both refuses to account and acts, who can blame him?

But it's okay, Cheng Shuili doesn't care about that at all, getting first place is enough!

She curled the corner of her mouth; this Hell-level Instance announcement listed six names, the first few were people who were on both rankings, the last one was Ge Wudi, who had made a fool of himself on the regional channel last time.

After this name appeared, it sparked discussion on the regional channel.

"Ge Wudi? His name isn't on either list! How did he get into the Hell-level Instance?"

"Huh? Isn't that Niu Fen Ge? Haven't seen him for days… damn! How come after not seeing him for days he's suddenly entering Hell-level Instances? And he even got announced!"

"Isn't the announcement because this Instance was easy? Previously, besides Wu Ya Dalao, how many were announced? This time they announced everyone!"

"Upper floor, watch your words, our Niu Fen Ge holds grudges, the female‑cross‑dressing big boss he offended earlier already turned gray, who did it, I don't need to say."

"Upper floor, you're also brave! Are you warning others? Are you putting yourself into the game!"

"Niu Fen Ge: I've already noted your three IDs! Prepare to die!"

"You be careful."

"Hahaha, no way, didn't we all call him Niu Fen Ge before? Can he be killed one by one? Even if he wanted, does he have that card?"

"You also be careful."

Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow at the regional channel messages; this person indeed wasn't on either list.

As for why he could join the Hell-level Instance…

Cheng Shuili guessed it was probably because the rankings weren't updated in time, and entry to the Instance is allocated according to the actual ranking.

In other words, Ge Wudi already has top‑ranking strength.

Cheng Shuili tapped the table thinking, the Mileage Ranking is relatively stable; this ranking requires day‑by‑day accumulation, even if you run twelve hours a day, climbing the rank must be gradual, impossible to parachute in.

So it could only be the Wealth Ranking.

Wealth Ranking…

Cheng Shuili clicked her tongue, could this guy have become rich suddenly?

She was curious, so she specifically pulled up the ranking and saw that Ge Wudi previously wasn't even on the Wealth Ranking.

Then… what exactly is it that could turn someone who couldn't even make the Wealth Ranking into a top‑few on it?

Cheng Shuili admitted her curiosity was piqued.

She squinted, planning to have Xinxue do the talk‑up; this kind of job is perfect for that merchant. If she can't, then Liang Shanbo, that simple‑minded sweetie sometimes shows unexpected usefulness.

Cheng Shuili made up her mind, then checked the rewards of this Instance.

As expected, still three boxes: a special material box, a gold material box, and a special equipment box.

She had obtained them many times before, but when opening the special equipment box, Cheng Shuili still felt a bit nervous.

She took a deep breath, her finger hovered above the special equipment box for a few seconds, then gently clicked to open.

She didn't look directly at the bottom of the box, but covered her eyes with her hand, carefully shifting her gaze through the gaps, as if that would bring out something good.

But this time, luck truly favored her.

At the bottom of the box lay a ring.

This ring differs noticeably from the Abyssal Ring; the Abyssal Ring is pure black, while this one looks like an ordinary silver ring.

She carefully took it out, checking the equipment description.

【Ring of the Hidden】

【Description: A seemingly ordinary silver ring, surface bears fine wavy engravings; when light hits at a certain angle, a misty dark pattern appears. When actively activated, the wearer can enter a continuous 30‑minute "Deep Dive" state, during which all creature perception is shielded! (Greatly reduces one's presence after wearing)】

Shield all creature perception?!

Cheng Shuili read that line aloud softly, confirming she hadn't misread.

Does the system even understand what this description implies?

This is basically 30 minutes of invincibility!

This… this…

Cheng Shuili looked at the Abyssal Ring, then at the newly arrived Ring of the Hidden One, inhaled a breath of cool air and couldn't help exclaiming, "Are rings this powerful nowadays?"
