Welcome to the World of the Strong [Unlimited Flow] 33p2

Chapter 33 p2: The Ancient Castle

Shi Jun raised her eyes slightly, as if she was too lazy to look at the person opposite her, and then looked away again.

“My name is Zhong Yu. That’s all.”

The arrogant man glanced at her face, as if he held a grudge against her for ignoring him and mocking him. He sneered. “You’re so weak. Will something happen to you in the instance?”

Shi Jun smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. I’ll die after you.”

Although she said this in a soft voice, the casual attitude she exuded revealed a confidence that needed no words, making people unable to help but believe her.

This calm and composed attitude was in stark contrast to the arrogant man’s constant emphasis on his own strength.

The arrogant man’s expression changed on the spot. He had not expected her to be so rude. He had originally wanted to get angry, but because there were other women present, he held back.

Besides, Zhong Yu had a sickly beauty to her, and the arrogant man was not willing to really get angry.

He just smiled at Zhong Yu ambiguously. “Don’t worry. If anything happens to you, you can come to me at any time. I’m a magnanimous person. As long as you pay the price, I will help you. And… beauty, you’re so weak. If you’re cold at night, you’re welcome to come to me. I’ll warm your bed for you, for free.”

Jiang Yu frowned, her expression changing.

Just as she was about to say something, a cool hand grabbed hers.

Jiang Yu paused and looked back.

Shi Jun was holding Jiang Yu’s hand, her gaze lowered. Her palm was a little cold, and the skin on the back of her hand was also pale, but…

Only by really touching it could one feel that this hand was not entirely weak and boneless.

Shi Jun felt the temperature and touch that were completely different from her own body temperature, and only then did she suppress the violent thoughts in her heart.

Don’t be rough.

Shi Jun said to herself in her heart.

Roughly dealing with a person is not an interesting thing.

She slowly curved her lips, her gaze on the arrogant man as if she were looking at a dead person.

“Okay,” she said with a light smile, her eyes deep. “But I’m just afraid that at that time, your body temperature won’t be much higher than a corpse’s.”

The meaning in her words was that she was referring to the arrogant man as a dead person.

Although her words were light, when in this instance where people could die, the power of the curse was not light.

The arrogant man was not intimidated by her. Instead, he smiled. “Okay. Then I’ll let you see how strong my body, which has been nourished by yang energy, is. Is it really only a little higher than a corpse’s temperature? And it’s just right to… give you a good supplement.”

Just as Jiang Yu was about to flare up, she heard the person next to her say, “Have you said enough?”

Although her words were gentle, they had a certain authority.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Yu glanced over.

Shi Jun looked up at the arrogant man, a gentle smile on her lips. But the gentleness was too much, and it became a kind of strangeness.

At this moment, in her eyes, the arrogant man was no different from a dead person.

In fact, she had even arranged his death.

A survival mission. It’s just right for a tool to scout the way, isn’t it?

Shi Jun’s smile deepened.

The woman next to her hugged her arms and looked up at the arrogant man opposite her.

The arrogant man smiled at her. “What, is this beauty going to introduce herself?”

Xiao Man looked up at him coldly. “You’re so arrogant after only passing two instances. Aren’t you afraid that something will really happen?”

The arrogant man rubbed his chin. “I’m not like you people who pass by luck. You should know that I’ve passed all of them with high scores based on my own strength. And I’m confident that I can pass this instance. Beauty, you should think about other people’s strength when you speak.”

Xiao Man raised an eyebrow slightly.

The arrogant man said, “But don’t worry. If it’s you, beauty, I’ll make an exception. If you ask me for help, of course I’ll consider saving you.”

Xiao Man’s expression did not change.

After all, she had passed many instances and had naturally seen many clowns. She was not so weak that she could not hold her expression when she met a clown’s performance.

But in her heart, she had also sentenced the arrogant man to death.

A person like this would not live long.

Xiao Man did not continue to look at him. Instead, she introduced herself, not revealing any extra information.

Finally, it was the arrogant man’s turn. Excluding his bragging, Jiang Yu only extracted one useful piece of information from his words, which was his name.

His name was Zhou Dayong.

Then, it was time to analyze the mission.

Xiao Man did not want to listen to Zhou Dayong anymore and directly took his right to speak.

“This mission is a survival-type mission. It’s both simple and difficult. There’s no need to think about how to complete the mission. The only thing you need to pay attention to is to try your best to survive. But unlike that, the mission has also added a hidden mission. Although it doesn’t affect clearing the instance, but… if you want to get a high score, then it’s best to do the hidden mission.”

Jiang Yu also thought so.

But… she was not sure what the difficulty of survival was, so for her, completing the main mission was the most important.

As for the hidden mission, she could only explore it as much as possible in these seven days.

Zhou Dayong also immediately said, “What you said is exactly what I was going to say.”

He looked at Xiao Man with a self-important gaze. “It seems you’re not completely useless. Not bad. Your analysis matches my train of thought.”

Liu Ling immediately flattered him, “Big Brother Dayong is so great.”

Jiang Yu glanced at them, feeling a little speechless.

Xiao Man ignored Zhou Dayong.

“For a seven-day survival mission, the first day is generally not difficult. The difficulty also increases with the number of days. Similarly, the probability of someone dying on the first day is not high. In other words, if we want to complete the hidden mission, we must investigate it clearly in the first few days.”

Jiang Yu was thoughtful.

This was something she had not considered.

She nodded slightly and listened to Xiao Man’s analysis.

Zhou Dayong’s mouth opened. He was not satisfied that his right to speak had been taken away, but at the same time, this analysis was something he had not thought of. So, his mouth moved, but in the end, he did not say anything.

Shi Jun slowly looked away, her fingers touching her lips.

“Actually, there’s one more thing I’m very curious about.”

Xiao Man looked over and frowned slightly.

For some reason, she felt that this sickly newcomer was a little familiar, but she had clearly not seen her much.

Shi Jun said softly, “Generally speaking, the difficulty level of an instance is below the character’s level. But why is the difficulty level of this instance C-70%? Is there anyone among you whose level exceeds this?”

She had asked this on purpose and had her gaze on Xiao Man.

But Shi Jun also knew that she could not get anything out of her. After all, if Xiao Man would panic because of this, then she would not have become one of the top ten players.

But knowing was knowing. Shi Jun still wanted to ask.

Zhou Dayong said, “When did this rule come about? Don’t tell me you’re just making it up.”

Shi Jun smiled. “It’s in the newcomer handbook. Have you forgotten so quickly?”

Zhou Dayong was at a loss for words. “Who still reads the newcomer handbook?”

The smile on Xiao Man’s face was impeccable. “Indeed. But what if someone here has a level that exceeds it?”

Gu Dong was the first to answer, “I haven’t reached it. I’m only C-15%.”

Shen Liang also said, “I’m C-10%.”

Liu Ling: “I’m C-20%.”

Zhou Dayong’s expression did not change. He also had a plan in his heart.

Although his level was higher than those people, it was not C-70%. So, did that mean that among the three women opposite him, someone’s level had exceeded it?

Zhou Dayong thought for a moment in his heart and answered on the surface, “I’m C-60%.”

Jiang Yu paused for a moment. She had not expected that her level was actually the lowest. But considering that she had only cleared three instances, it was still okay.

Jiang Yu did not answer her own level. She just said that her level was not there yet.

The rest were Zhong Yu and Xiao Man.

But…

Zhong Yu should not have reached it either, right? After all, she had asked such a question.

Shi Jun smiled faintly. “I haven’t reached it either. I’m only C-50%.”

She looked at Xiao Man. “What about you?”

A smile was on Xiao Man’s face. “I haven’t reached it either. It seems… there’s a bug.”

Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly. She had not expected Xiao Man to be so shameless as to blame the instance and the system.

But on the other hand, if the other party had really used some kind of item to suppress her level, then it could be explained.

“Forget it. It’s only a little higher. Don’t worry about it,” Zhou Dayong muttered.

Then, Zhou Dayong’s eyes rolled. “Speaking of which, since this instance is most likely a supernatural instance, then we have to be prepared for battle. Why don’t you all take out the items you’ve brought and let’s see? That way, we can also have an understanding of our combat abilities. What do you think?”

However, the others looked at each other and avoided Zhou Dayong’s gaze, not listening to him.

Yeah, although they were not competitors in this instance, to some extent, they were not partners either.

And on the bad side, they might have to be on guard against each other. After all, you can’t be too careful.

Ghost-type instances would always make people have some alternative worries, such as…

…would someone pull others to be a scapegoat in order to escape from a ghost?

And the items they had bought were life-saving treasures. No one would easily reveal their life-saving items.

No matter what, they were just strangers who had just met.

Seeing that no one was agreeing with him, Zhou Dayong’s face was a little ugly.

He looked at Liu Ling. “Liu Ling, what items did you bring?”

Liu Ling looked up at him and smiled. “My items are not worth mentioning. The only thing that can be used are some talismans. Speaking of which, Big Brother Dayong, why don’t you let us see your items first? You’re so great. The items you can buy must be very good, right? Why don’t you take them out and let us see?”

Of course, Zhou Dayong knew that Liu Ling was doing this on purpose. His face turned green, but in the end, he still did not take out his items.
