"Then, according to you, do we need to reorganize the guild?" Bai Mo asked Ye Ci after taking a few bites of his chicken.
Ye Ci shook her head and smiled slyly, "My dear cousin, this isn't something I'm good at. Besides, you're the one in charge of the guild. I'm just saying some irresponsible words. As for how the guild will continue to be managed, it's none of my business. It's better if you don't ask me."
Bai Mo seemed to have expected this result. He wasn't disappointed. He sighed and smiled, "Yes, you have your division of labor, and I have mine." Then he sighed again, "Ye Ci, I think that since I'm a man and you're a woman, I should be in charge of external affairs and you should be in charge of internal affairs. Don't you think so?"
"I'm not your wife. Wait until you have a wife, then you can use this excuse on her." Ye Ci rolled her eyes. She would definitely help the guild if she could, but if it was something she wasn't good at, she wouldn't force herself to do it.
Ye Ci's principle was to use the most suitable person in the most suitable place. Just like her, she would never be placed in the guild to worry about trivial matters like personnel management. If she was forced to do so, it wouldn't take long for Ye Ci to be driven crazy by these matters.
Ye Ci's words made Bai Mo laugh uncontrollably, "Why do I feel that your words sound so sour?"
Ye Ci rolled her eyes even more. She stood up and threw the chicken bone in her hand onto the plate, "If you feel sour, then it's because you're jealous." She said as she turned to leave.
Bai Mo smiled, "Where are you going now?"
"I'm stuck on that Epic Quest. I'll probably be busy for a while." Ye Ci waved at Bai Mo without turning her head and walked away confidently.
In the past few days, whether it was the game or life, it was unbelievably peaceful. In all fairness, there wasn't much difference between the past few days. It was just that the peace of the past few days was a little too peaceful compared to the storm from before.
Tan Polang went home on the weekends. This was his first time returning to his new home. This guy was very smart. After leaving school, he didn't take the bus home directly. Instead, he took the bus on different routes and circled around a few times. Finally, he slipped away from the back door of a shopping mall and took a taxi home.
By the time they reached home, it was already evening. The house was filled with the aroma of food, which made people feel warm and addicted. Tan Polang stood at the door and took a few deep breaths before he jumped into the house, "My God, this is our new home?"
"Hurry up and go wash your hands. We're waiting for you." Zuo Xiaolan smiled as she walked out of the kitchen with the dishes in her hands.
"Okay!"
Ye Ci sat on the edge of the table in her wheelchair. Her heart slowly hardened as she watched the happy scene of her family sitting at the table. This kind of happiness and warmth was hard to come by. She had to protect it. No matter what method she had to use, no matter what price she had to pay, she had to protect it. As for those who tried to destroy all of this, she would not leave any warmth behind.
"Sister Ye Ci, have some pig trotters. You'll get better soon." Tan Polang picked up a braised pig trotter for Ye Ci. He also had one in his hand and smiled.
Ye Ci also smiled along with him.
After dinner, Ye Nantian and Zuo Xiaolan cleaned up and went to play games. Tan Polang hadn't played games for a week. Naturally, he couldn't wait to get back online.
Bai Mo and Ye Ci sat on the balcony and ate fruits. The night was beautiful. The stars shone brightly, and the silver moon shone brightly. It was obvious that the weather would be good the next day. Bai Mo grabbed a handful of cherries and tossed them into his mouth. The sweet taste of the cherries almost made him sick of them.
"Is there still no news from Green Hill's Moon?" Bai Mo suddenly asked.
"Nope." Ye Ci did not stop eating cherries. She continued to stuff them into her mouth, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Yes, I am." Bai Mo narrowed his eyes. It was a rare expression that Ye Ci was unfamiliar with. It was a cold, calculating expression.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ci stared at Bai Mo in a daze.
"Little Ci, even you know how to seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Do you think that a man like me doesn't have the guts to do so?" When Bai Mo smiled, his smile did not reach his eyes, making it seem like a smile that was superficial.
Ye Ci was at a loss for words. She suddenly realized that she had only seen the good side of Bai Mo. There was another side to him that she had never seen before. In her impression, Bai Mo had always been gentle and considerate. He was a man who was like a lake. She did not expect him to have such a hidden side to him.
"Don't worry about me. I won't let myself get hurt." Bai Mo could see the worry in Ye Ci's eyes. He reached out and brushed her hair away from her forehead with a gentle smile. Such a gentle smile, such an innocent smile, and such a pure and innocent smile, was something that belonged only to Ye Ci. "Just like how you don't want me to get hurt, Little Ci, I don't want you to get hurt either. But once you've chosen that path, I won't stop you. I've said it before. I'll always be by your side."
Ye Ci let out a long sigh, "Alright, I won't ask any more questions."
Bai Mo nodded happily, "Let me know if you have any news from Green Hill's Moon."
"Got it."
Bai Mo stood up. Ye Ci had always been the first to stand up and leave whenever they were together. Bai Mo had always been the one to watch her leave. But now, he stood up and walked towards his room. As he walked past Ye Ci, he placed his warm hand on Ye Ci's shoulder, and patted her again. His deep voice rang out from above Ye Ci's head, "Little Ci, there's no such thing as good or bad in this world. It all depends on how you look at it. We're just protecting ourselves. Don't worry about it."
Ye Ci felt as if her heart had been struck by something. It turned out that Bai Mo had always been able to see the things that were buried deep in her heart. It was not that he did not know about them, but he had been waiting for the right time to reveal them. Ye Ci lowered her head and stuffed another cherry into her mouth. The sweet and sour juice spread endlessly from her lips to her tongue, and her heart was filled with a feeling called apprehension.
Potions.
Food that increased stats.
Whetstones that increased weapon attack for a short period of time.
Arrows of all kinds.
Ye Ci went through the items that she needed one by one. She was afraid that she would miss out on something that would lead to an unforeseen outcome when she entered Andrei's treasure vault. Ye Ci made her way to the Mausoleum of Blades after making sure that she had everything that she needed.
Although a few days had passed, Bella was still waiting at the spot where she had bid farewell to Ye Ci. She floated silently in the air with a solemn expression on her face. When Ye Ci spoke to Bella, the same two dialog boxes appeared. This time, Ye Ci chose the first one without hesitation. She was ready. Bella's voice was heard, "Then I wish you a safe journey, my dearest friend." The boulder in front of Ye Ci was then transformed into a barrier of light that glowed with a faint blue light.
Ye Ci was very familiar with the barrier. It was the sign of entering a dungeon.
This was a dungeon? That was the last question that Ye Ci could think of before entering the barrier.
This was indeed a dungeon. Upon entering the barrier of light, Ye Ci immediately found herself in a dark cave. She opened up her map, which was marked with a clear indication that it was a dungeon. At this point, Ye Ci was completely sure that this was a dungeon, and it was most likely a solo dungeon.
On the map, other than the spot where Ye Ci was standing, the rest of the map was grey. This meant that this was an unexplored map, and this dungeon was also a dungeon that no one had entered before. It seemed that she could not find any clues on the map. Ye Ci gave up on the map and slowly explored the dungeon on her own. This was the only way.
Of course, Ye Ci did not ignore Bella's hint about this dungeon. She said that this was once Andre's treasure trove, but after Bella's death, this place had become the habitat of the Undead. The Undead that Bella was referring to were not the Undead races of the player race. They were translucent monsters that floated in the air like Bella. In Western mythology, these monsters were called the Inwards, while in Eastern mythology, they were called Ghosts.
In Fate, all creatures were divided into different levels. For example, the lowest level creatures were those single-celled creatures that did not have any thoughts, such as Mud Monsters, Piranha Flowers, Bark Monsters, and so on. Above them were the various animals, and above them were the Undead, Humanoid Monsters, and above them were the Demonic Creatures. Above the Demonic Creatures were the Divine Creatures such as Angels.
The classification of these monsters was directly related to the monsters' abilities. For example, a level 1 Angel and a level 1 Mud Monster were on a completely different level in terms of attack power, HP, and defense. The monsters that Ye Ci had encountered before entering this dungeon were mostly Humanoid Monsters or Animal Monsters. This was the first time that she encountered Undead after her reincarnation. Although Undead Monsters and Humanoid Monsters were of the same level, Undead Monsters were much stronger than Humanoid Monsters.
Although their HP and Attack Power were about the same, Undead Creatures generally had a very annoying skill, and that was Summon Undead. This was especially true for the high-level undead. After their companions fell, they could summon another undead from their companions' corpses. That was why Violent Shamans were the main players in this Undead Dungeon. Otherwise, the entire party would have to have high attack power. Otherwise, the entire party would be wiped out.
For Hunters, if they could control the pace of the battle, they would have a higher chance of survival. After all, Undead Monsters were close-range attackers, while Hunters were long-range attackers. As long as they kept a distance from the Undead Monsters, it would be easy for them to kite or solo the Undead Monsters.
According to Bella's warning, Ye Ci knew that she would have to face a lot of Undead monsters in the dungeon. She had prepared a lot of Flame Arrows. Although the best way to deal with Undead monsters was to use Holy Light Arrows, those arrows were too high level, and Ye Ci did not know how to craft them. She could only use Flame Arrows instead. Although the Flame Arrow couldn't deal a fatal blow to Undead creatures like the Holy Light Arrow, the Flame Arrow could deal additional damage to Undead creatures. Therefore, when there was no Holy Light Arrow, the Flame Arrow was the best substitute to deal with Undead creatures.
This was also why there were no powerful Priests in this Undead Dungeon. Powerful Fire Mages were also the best way to deal with Undead Monsters.
After entering the cave, a gust of cold wind blew over. That kind of cold wind wasn't an ordinary cold wind, but a bone-chilling wind that carried the smell of rotting corpses. When it blew, one could immediately feel that this wind was going to turn one into a terrifying dead spirit.
The scariest thing about the Undead Instance Dungeon was not the deliberately exaggerated atmosphere, but the fact that you never knew where the monsters were hidden. These monsters could be attached to the mountain walls or hidden in the soil. You wouldn't feel anything when you weren't there, but once you passed by them, they would jump out from the ground and from the mountain walls. They would quickly surround you and gnaw on you until you were dead.
Ye Ci summoned The Fourth Prince. Although Hunters were strong in ranged attacks, they were weak in melee combat. Furthermore, the dungeon was never released to the public in her last life. Ye Ci did not know if the player who completed the Epic-tier quest had deliberately hidden the information about the dungeon, or if the player did not activate the dungeon in the first place. Either way, the information about the dungeon did not exist in her memory. Facing such a Dungeon, Ye Ci could only be extra careful, as if she was exploring a new Dungeon.
Compared to Ye Ci's caution, the Fourth Prince was much more cheerful.
For an Epic Monster like the Fourth Prince, the only thing that could possibly overpower it was a Dragon. Therefore, even though the atmosphere was dark and gloomy, the Fourth Prince did not take it seriously. He ran happily in front of Ye Ci.
Of course, this was also Ye Ci's intention. With the Fourth Prince running in front of her, the hidden Undead soon emerged. They were either translucent Undead or Zombies with broken limbs. They attacked the Fourth Prince with their strongest attacks to express their hatred for him.
These monsters were around level 50. Ye Ci and the Fourth Prince were both level 45, so it was a little difficult for them to defeat them. Fortunately, Epic Monsters had some advantages. With the additional fire damage from the Flame Arrows, the monsters that crawled out of the Dungeon turned into Experience Points that flowed into Ye Ci and the Fourth Prince's Experience Slots.
A Solo Dungeon was a Solo Dungeon where only one person was assigned to the Dungeon. This type of Dungeon was generally very popular among solo players. In this type of Dungeon, not only could players level up endlessly without anyone stealing monsters, but they could also get all the equipment. Therefore, as long as there was a Solo Dungeon, solo players would not give up until they felt like vomiting.
Ye Ci was no exception.
She had not logged into the game for a month. During this time, many people had leveled up. Some of the leveling maniacs had even surpassed her in level. Ye Ci could not help but sigh. There would always be someone stronger than her. As a reincarnator, if she did not have an advantage in level, then she probably had no advantage in other aspects. Therefore, Ye Ci decided that in this Dungeon, she would not give up on any monsters. She must make this Dungeon her leveling ground and make up for all the lost levels.
And in fact, that was what she was doing.
If you only focused on one thing, time would pass very quickly. Ye Ci quickly discovered that this Dungeon was actually not that difficult. Other than the high health of the Undead, there was nothing special about the Dungeon. The only difficulty in areas where monsters gathered was the Necromancer. Necromancers were like summoners. If they were not killed immediately, they would hide at the back of the party and endlessly summon monsters. Other than that, there was nothing special in the areas where monsters were rampant.
As she was not familiar with the Dungeon and there was a certain gap between her level and the monsters, Ye Ci gave up on her usual attacking methods. She was especially careful along the way, minimizing the damage she and the Fourth Prince received.
After four hours, Ye Ci had used up half of her Flame Arrows, and her level had climbed from level 45 to level 49. Ye Ci sat down to rest, and began roasting some meat to feed the hungry Ol 'Four. She then opened up her character panel, and was satisfied with her level. She was now more than halfway through her lvl49 level. She even calmly thought that even if nothing were to come out of this dungeon, she would still be very satisfied with the increase in level.
When Ol 'Four was full, and his body gradually recovered its fatigue value, he continued on his journey. It did not take much time to go from level 49 to level 50. Soon, Ye Ci's body emitted a golden light, which meant that she had officially stepped into the range of level 50. Before Ye Ci could feel proud, she heard a cold voice echoing in the cave.
"I think I smell something fresh. It's the smell of human flesh. It's been a long time since I've tasted something like this …" The voice was very unpleasant to the ears. It was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It seemed to have been changed with a voice changer, making it hard to tell what kind of person was speaking from the mouth of the person. The voice did not come from a specific direction. Instead, it came from all directions. Ye Ci could not tell where it came from.
Just then, a notification popped up in her dungeon window: You have reached the required level to explore the dungeon. Good luck.
After seeing this message, Ye Ci was speechless. That was why she felt like she was just walking in circles after walking around the cave for more than four hours. When she looked at the map, there were no markings on it. She just kept killing monsters and picking up corpses. Other than that, she didn't seem to be doing anything else. She didn't have any substantial exploration of the entire dungeon. After all this time, it turned out that this was the reason.
When she entered the Dungeon, the system determined that her level was too low to complete the Dungeon alone. Hence, the system automatically opened a leveling area for her to level up until she reached level 50 before she could enter the Dungeon. If it were not for her, why would the monsters here give so much EXP and drop so few items?
Thinking up to this point, Ye Ci opened the map again. She suddenly realized that the map, which could not be displayed before, now had a clear outline. And she was still standing at the entrance of the Dungeon …
Although Ye Ci did not think that she would definitely fail if she soloed the Dungeon at level 45, computers were not human brains. They would never consider whether the program was suitable for the execution of the program.
Well, who asked her to be a player?
After looking at the remaining potions and arrows, Ye Ci looked at the Dungeon map again. After a rough calculation, the items on her should be able to last until the end of the Dungeon. After making the calculations, Ye Ci began walking toward the front of the Dungeon.
Sure enough, after entering the Dungeon, the difficulty increased abruptly. All the monsters' levels rose from level 50 to level 55. Not only that, but the Undead and Zombies also had a certain level of intelligence. For example, if she could not defeat a wave of monsters in the shortest time possible, the Fourth Prince would tank the monsters while Ye Ci killed them one by one. They would then continue to send monsters with lower attack power to surround the Fourth Prince. Meanwhile, monsters with higher attack power and high health would immediately abandon the Fourth Prince and charge straight at Ye Ci.
When Ye Ci encountered such a situation for the first time, she was flustered. She could only roll and jump while kiting the monsters. It took her a herculean effort to kill them. The Fourth Prince was also almost killed by these monsters.
After experiencing such a situation, Ye Ci became extra careful when facing these slightly intelligent monsters. She did not want to die in front of a BOSS for no reason.
The Undead monsters in the dungeon dropped a wide variety of items, ranging from potions to gold coins, equipment, throwing knives, arrows, and even some junk that could be sold for money. There was also a special item called "Undead Medallion". It was a binding item that could be stacked up to a thousand medallions. The item's description did not specify what it was used for, and it could not be sold. Ye Ci did not know what it was used for. Fortunately, it did not take up a lot of space, and Ye Ci allowed it to be stacked up in her inventory.
The greatest benefit of a Single Player Dungeon was that players could pick up all the items they dropped. The greatest disadvantage of a Single Player Dungeon was that only players could keep the items they dropped. If there were no NPCs selling items in a Single Player Dungeon, players could only wait for their bags to burst. Soon, Ye Ci encountered this problem. Although she had cleared out all her equipment before entering the Dungeon, and although she did not pick up anything in the previous leveling area, Ye Ci found that her inventory was almost full when she was halfway through the Single Player Dungeon.
In a Single Player Dungeon like this, there were generally no NPCs that could repair equipment or sell items. Therefore, when a player's inventory was full, they would need to organize their inventory to the maximum extent. They would keep the more valuable items and throw away the less valuable items.
Ye Ci was very good at this kind of thing. In her previous life, she often went solo. Therefore, this kind of trade-off problem would not cause too much trouble for Ye Ci. She quickly organized her inventory and continued to advance into the Dungeon.
There were three deep caves in the Dungeon. They were arranged in a triangular formation. However, these three caves did not have any BOSSes. Instead, there were many small monsters. Ye Ci cleared out all the small monsters one by one. However, she found that she had cleared the entire Dungeon.
No BOSSes?
How is that possible?! A Dungeon full of small monsters, no BOSSes!!!
This situation was too strange. Even a veteran like Ye Ci could not figure out what was going on. Ye Ci ran around the Dungeon with the Fourth Prince. It was empty. The corpses of the small monsters on the ground had all been cleared. The only creatures left in the Dungeon were Ye Ci and the Fourth Prince. There were no other creatures.
Standing in the middle of the triangular formation, Ye Ci thought that she must have done something wrong. That was why the BOSSes did not appear. Or perhaps, she must have overlooked something. She walked around the Dungeon again and carefully observed every corner. Finally, she found a string of strange stones along the way. These stones were very dull. If one did not observe them carefully, they would have been overlooked. They were in the shape of an arrow and led Ye Ci to the place where she first encountered the ambush.
It was a small empty space. After careful investigation, Ye Ci quickly found a relatively simple "placing stones" IQ question. As long as she solved this IQ question, she would be able to see the next arrow. After solving three IQ questions, the arrow led Ye Ci to the middle of the triangular formation. There was already a booby-trapped thing protruding from there.
After pressing the switch, she immediately heard the strange and unpleasant voice from before. "What's wrong? You can't wait to be my dinner, can you? If that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish … "
As soon as the voice finished speaking, Ye Ci felt the ground shake. If she did not immediately lie down on the ground, she would have been thrown to the side by the violent tremors.
After the tremors ended, Ye Ci felt a sharp wind blowing towards her before she could stand up. Alarm bells rang in her heart, and she immediately rolled to the side subconsciously. When she looked up again, she saw a tall skeleton in armor with a long weapon in its hand running towards her.
The words "Sword Soul" were written on the skeleton's head. It seemed that this was the BOSS's name. When facing a BOSS that she had never encountered before, the first thing to do was not to attack with all her might. Instead, she had to use small AOE attacks to probe the BOSS. This way, not only would she be able to get the most direct information in the shortest time possible, but she would also be able to find a way to deal with the BOSS. Ye Ci commanded The Fourth Prince to engage the Sword Soul while she relied on her inertia to jump back and forth between the walls of the cave. Then, she used different skills to attack the Sword Soul. Then, she quickly calculated the damage that each skill dealt to the Sword Soul.
Without spending too much time, Ye Ci had already grasped the damage that the Sword Soul could deal to her skills. A plan to deal with the BOSS slowly formed in her mind. For a Hunter, the BOSS was the king of eight yards. As long as the enemy was within eight yards of the BOSS, the Hunter was basically useless. That was why Ye Ci had to maintain a distance of eight yards between herself and the Sword Soul. It would be best if the distance was as far as possible.
However, it was not easy to do so. The main reason was that the Sword Soul was simply too tall. Even though its movement speed was not considered fast, its steps were too big. Usually, it would take a few steps for Ye Ci to cover the distance between herself and the Sword Soul. That was why maintaining a distance of eight yards was the most important thing to do when attacking the Sword Soul.
Fortunately, the BOSS of this Solo Dungeon was not too difficult. Moreover, this Dungeon was equivalent to a free reward. That was why Ye Ci only needed to maintain her running speed and she would be able to defeat the Sword Soul in no time.
After Blade Soul died, it dropped a long weapon called "Blade Soul", which was a quest item. Nothing else was dropped. Ye Ci could not help but feel that she had been tricked. She had worked so hard for so long, and yet she did not get anything? Was this a reward, or a burden?
Fortunately, after a day of hard work, Ye Ci's level had skyrocketed. She had already reached lvl55, which was eight levels higher than the current number one player on the Player Level Ranking Board.
After exiting the Dungeon, Bella greeted Ye Ci enthusiastically, "Hey, my dear friend. I'm so happy to see you back safe and sound."
Ye Ci chatted with Bella for a while before handing the quest item, the Sword Soul, to Andrei. Ye Ci cursed at how boring the quest was as she returned to the Silvery Tin Vein to turn in the quest. As expected, Andrei was very excited when he saw the Sword Soul. He praised Ye Ci profusely. Naturally, Ye Ci's Reputation in the Doran Thieves Guild increased.
As her reputation with the Doran Thieves Guild had reached the level of Intimate, Ye Ci was able to use all of the NPCs in the bandit's lair. She found a merchant closest to her and exchanged all of her trash for gold coins. Ye Ci's mood improved as she stared at the shiny gold coins in front of her.
Just as she was about to leave the Bandit Den, Ye Ci suddenly discovered a strange NPC. She had never seen this NPC before. This NPC was very short, and it was obvious that he was a Gnome. There was a sign above his head that said, "Special Goods Merchant."
Once a player's Reputation with a faction reached a certain level, they would be able to purchase special goods from that faction. Ye Ci knew this very well. However, she had never been able to find this merchant. Could this Special Goods Merchant be the NPC that she had been looking for all this time?
After talking to the NPC, Ye Ci was stunned when she saw the items in the Merchant Den. Only now did she realize the value of the single-player dungeon …
As expected of an Epic-tier quest. Even the rewards for the second phase of the quest were so generous!
All the items in the Special Goods Merchant's inventory were Level 55 and above set equipment! From weapons to clothes, from accessories to enchanted items, there were also many rare Life Skill Recipes. It was truly a heaven-defying existence!
In order to purchase the items from this merchant, one would need not only money, but also an item that Ye Ci had no idea what it was for — Undead Medals.
The items sold by the Special Goods Merchant would require different amounts of Undead Medals depending on the item's size and rarity. The most expensive item would require 5,000 Undead Medals, while the most expensive item would require 1,000 Undead Medals. As long as one had enough Undead Medals, they would be able to purchase the items.
Damn, was there anything more heaven-defying than this?
Ye Ci looked at the Undead Medals in her hand. She had more than 3,000 Undead Medals, which could be exchanged for a cape. Hence, she did not hesitate to exchange for one. When she received the cape, Ye Ci's face began to cramp again. Of course, this time, it was not because of anger, sadness, sadness, or other negative emotions. Instead, it was because she was too excited.
There was no other reason other than the fact that this item would not be bound to her after she exchanged it. It would only be bound to her after she equipped it …
Didn't that mean that as long as she accumulated enough Undead Medals, she could sell all the equipment here? Among all the players in the game, the one thing that they did not lack the most was money …
Ye Ci felt that she had fallen. She used to be so noble and virtuous. How she treated money as dirt. However, after the recent events, she suddenly realized that money was a good thing. Rich people were awesome. Especially after she bought two houses and had nothing left on her, she felt that money was a good thing. Furthermore, she needed money to do what she needed to do now, but she did not have much money on hand. She was really stretched thin.
Now that she saw the equipment, she suddenly felt as if gold coins were raining down from the sky. She really wanted to scream at the sky. Damn it, hurry up and use this money to kill me!
However, Ye Ci soon came to her senses. She discovered a problem. She had only obtained 3,000 Undead Medals after completing the dungeon. She could only obtain more Undead Medals if she continued to clear the dungeon. Her dream of getting rich was all based on the fact that she could clear this dungeon repeatedly.
However, what if this dungeon could only be cleared once? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
