"… So, you guys came back just like that?"
Fangzheng was speechless as he gazed at the young ladies.
He had never seen them in such a sorry state. Both of Ying Lili's eyes were swollen from crying, Asuna was still unconscious, and Mimi was also in a sorry state. On the other side, Qing Ye revealed an awkward smile while Liza was covered in mud and hid behind Ling Yin …
"Forget it. Pack up and we'll go when you guys are ready …"
"I'm not going!"
Before Fangzheng finished his sentence, Ying Lili was the first to jump up and shake her head desperately.
"I'm not going! I'm not going to this floor even if you beat me to death! I won't go even if I die!"
"M-Me too … Those bugs are too scary, Mr. Fangzheng. I can't take it anymore …"
Qing Ye was also trembling as he begged for mercy.
"That's right, that's right. This is just the beginning and there are already spiders and centipedes. What if cockroaches appear later on?"
"— — —!"
Almost all the young ladies turned pale and their bodies stiffened. Qing Ye rolled her eyes and almost fainted. The centipedes and spiders that were the size of humans were enough to test their mental fortitude. If they were to meet a cockroach that was the size of a human, perhaps they would break down immediately!
"…"
Looking at the unyielding look on their faces, Fangzheng was at his wit's end. To be honest, he didn't expect the designer of the sixth level to be so disgusting as to create a bunch of worms … As the saying goes, there are only two kinds of people in this world. One is afraid of having no feet, and the other is afraid of having many feet.
Now, it seems that my guild has a bunch of people …
Fangzheng tried to persuade them, but the young ladies led by Ying Lili were resolute. They would rather wear cat ears and swimsuits and hand out flyers on the streets than to fight monsters on the sixth floor!
Dream on! Don't even think about it! Definitely not!
"Alright then, we won't fight on the sixth floor."
Fangzheng pondered for a moment in the face of the "agitated" crowd, but he had no choice but to compromise.
At the very least, according to Restia and Astor's report, Euri and the others had very little resistance against these insect-type monsters. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few people who weren't afraid of insects blocking the monsters, they might have been completely wiped out.
However, Fangzheng still had to be blunt.
"Don't even think about skipping class. This is your first time, so I'll let it go. But what about in the future? Why don't you think about it? The BOSS of the 100th floor is an insect BOSS and a bunch of insect monsters. Once we start fighting, cockroaches will crawl all over the floor and wasps will fly all over the sky. What should we do? "
"Argh …"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's question, the young ladies turned pale instantly. Although Fangzheng believed that there was a 99% chance that the BOSS of the 100th floor wouldn't release insects, this problem couldn't be tolerated. The reason why Fangzheng was willing to compromise on the sixth floor was because he needed to give the young ladies some time to relax. Although Fangzheng had always adopted military-style management towards Asuna and the others, this didn't mean that they were really soldiers. Sometimes, when they threw tantrums, Fangzheng couldn't just stand by and watch.
But this didn't mean that he would let them go.
"Alright then, how about this? If you aren't willing to attack the sixth floor no matter what, then let's make a deal. I will allow you to not attack the sixth floor. But instead, after this floor, if you encounter more disgusting and terrifying floors, you can't run away. Do you understand?!"
"…"
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, the young ladies exchanged glances. Then, Euri gritted her teeth.
"I understand! As long as I don't attack the sixth floor, I won't be afraid of the floors after that no matter how disgusting they are! "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Along with Euri's words, the others nodded vigorously like chickens pecking rice. It was apparent that they were disgusted by the insects on this floor.
"Alright then, it's a deal."
Fangzheng swung his arm.
"Give up on the sixth floor. We must attack the seventh floor first. From now on, the training will be doubled!"
Fangzheng said and chuckled inwardly.
On the surface, it seemed that Euri and the others had successfully skipped class. But how could it be that easy to skip class? Since the designer designed this floor with insects, it meant that there would definitely be all sorts of insects later on. If they didn't adapt to the environment here, then they would have to suffer later on.
This was also the reason why Fangzheng made a deal with Euri and the others. At least with this agreement, they wouldn't have the chance to skip class in the future.
Of course, Ying Lili and the others didn't know what Fangzheng was thinking. When they found out that they didn't need to go through the sixth level, the girls scattered as if they had been granted amnesty. They all went to comfort their damaged souls on the sixth level.
"Damn it …"
Seeing the crowd disperse, Fangzheng shook his head, stood up, and walked out of the room.
After clearing the third floor, the Dark Moon Sword's guild accumulated guild points to the third level. They could now purchase and rent a guild encampment. Initially, Fangzheng intended to purchase a guild encampment. However, after looking at the price of tens of millions of Cole, Fangzheng was hesitant. In the end, he decided to rent a guild encampment for the time being.
Of course, the effects were the same no matter whether it was rented or purchased. With a guild encampment, guild members could teleport to various floors using the teleportation crystal. They could also teleport back directly from various floors.
When the guild level increased again, they could even obtain equipment that could teleport them back to the guild from any location. This was extremely useful for players. The teleportation crystal had a fixed location. On the other hand, the small portable teleportation crystal used by players was expensive and had a low drop rate. If players could obtain equipment from the guild, they would have an additional means of teleportation and it would be safer.
This was also the reason why the Dark Nebula and the Red Knights joined forces to attack the fifth floor. After all, defeating the Overlord BOSS was always the best way to increase guild points. The Dark Moon Sword had defeated a total of four Overlord BOSSES and their guild points ranking had jumped to the top of all the large guilds.
This was an income that other guilds couldn't obtain no matter how much they produced materials, cleared dungeons, or completed side missions.
The guild encampment that Fangzheng rented was a small Western-style manor. There was a vineyard, a manor house, and a warehouse. Apart from the manor house and small house, the vineyard and farmland were also used for the production players to grow crops and collect food materials. Then, they would hand over to the cooking players. From a certain perspective, the entire Dark Moon Sword had become a large family.
"Ah, Big Brother Fangzheng!"
When Fangzheng arrived at the farmland, a few children who were planting crops saw Fangzheng and waved at him happily. Then, they ran over to Fangzheng and surrounded him.
"How are you guys? Are you okay? "
Fangzheng asked with a smile as he looked at the children in front of him. One of the children nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I'm doing great, Big Brother Fangzheng. Let me tell you, my planting skill has reached Level 4. I can plant pineapple trees now!"
Fangzheng smiled and didn't say a word as he looked at the children who were dancing and talking to him excitedly. These children were the players who had stayed behind in the Town of Beginnings. They were basically from elementary school to middle school.
This was very normal. After all, this was a game, and children were definitely the group of people who were most interested in games. But now, after being involved in this game of death, the situation was different.
"Welcome, Mr. Fangzheng."
As Fangzheng caressed the children's hair and chatted with them, a voice sounded all of a sudden.
He turned his head and saw a woman in her early twenties with short dark blue hair and glasses walking towards them with a smile on her face.
