YM778.TV Chapter 40 - 40: Freaky man? A familiar figure!
Zhao Yunxiao stuttered, “Are you saying… you cleared a dungeon of Hell Level difficulty, the Fire Rat Nest?”
Zheng Cheng nodded, “Indeed, Yao Zhixue was a massive help. Without her leading us, we wouldn’t have been able to clear it at all!”
Yao Zhixue glared at Zheng Cheng, though thinking of the secret between the two, she stiffly nodded along.
“The Fire Rat’s Nest… all the monsters are of fire attribute, which my own attributes counter.”
“And with everyone’s combined effort…”
Chen Xiao, Cai Shen, and Zhang Ping’an nodded furiously like chickens pecking at grains.
“I see, glad you’re all okay. I need to report this to the Director…” However, she couldn’t help but ask, looking at the colorful large chicken, “This is…?” Cai Shen, blinking his big eyes, said, “Well…boss, I’m a druid. What’s up?”
“Isn’t the beginner skill of a druid Animal Affinity? It isn’t until LV30 that one could morph into an eagle, bear, wolf, and such. But you…?”
“I’m a poultry druid…
“Poultry Druid?”
Zhao Yunxiao’s expression was even stranger.
Is there such a profession?
I have never heard of it.
“Yao Zhixue! Zheng Cheng! Are you guys okay?”
Finally, Gao Yang ran over, a crowd of students gathering around with murmurs of speculation.
“Whoa! That’s a big chicken, who’s that?”
“It’s Cai Shen! Isn’t he a Poultry Druid?”
“Whoa! He can really turn into a chicken! Awesome-”
“Yao Zhixue and the others are out. doesn’t that mean thev’ve cleared a
dungeon of Hell-level difficulty?”
“Let’s check…”
Zheng Cheng said, “Teacher Gao, we’re fine.”
“Then this is…you cleared a dungeon of Hell-level difficulty?’”‘
“Yeah, more or less.”
“What do you mean ‘more or less’?”
“Probably count as the first to clear.”
“Sss…”
When students heard what Zheng Cheng said, they all sucked in a breath of air.
A Hell difficulty level dungeon, gosh!
Out of over a hundred newbie professionals in school, besides them, only a
handful of others managed to clear a dungeon of Difficult difficulty level.
They never thought they would successfully clear a dungeon of Hell difficulty level!
“What about your levels?”
Zheng Cheng answered, “We’re all at LV4, only Yao Zhixue is still at LV3.”
Gao Yang nodded, “Yao Zhixue has a higher star level and higher spiritual requirement…What, LV4 already?”
“So quickly! ”
“Even Liang Feifan’s group only reached LV3!”
“Zheng Cheng’s group cleared a Hell difficulty level dungeon, Liang Feifan failed at a Nightmare difficulty level dungeon, so Zheng Cheng won the bet!”
“I don’t believe it!”
As Gao Yang was speaking, Liang Feifan suddenly rushed over, looking frantic.
“How could this be possible! With three 3-star, one 5-star and a maximum of one 9-star professional, how could you possibly pass through the Hell difficulty level!”
Chen Xiao snorted, “If you don’t believe it, go check it yourself.”
Gnashing his teeth, Liang Feifan came to the entrance of the dungeon.
Here, the top ten dungeon clearance records could be checked.
There was no record of him in the Nightmare difficulty level dungeon.
For the Hell difficulty level dungeon, there was only one team.
First Place: Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, Chen Xiao, Cai Shen, Zhang Ping’an.
Time taken: One hour and fifty-two minutes.
“How could this be possible…”
“How is this possible!”
Liang Feifan gritted his teeth, “Could this be… the gap between a nine-star professional and a seven-star professional….”
Zhao Yunxiao glanced at the bewildered Liang Feifan and shook her head,
“Let’s go have some rest at the town’s hotel first. Let’s leave him to cool down.” “You all can train around here these few days, don’t waste this opportunity.” The students obediently headed towards Weihe town not far away.
Gao Yang also took out the bet he had with Liang Feifan and the others, a teleportation scroll.
Despite everyone’s attempts to refuse, it was ultimately collected by Zheng Cheng.
The dungeon was not far from the hotel, only about a ten-minute walk. On the way, Zheng Cheng and Chen Xiao discussed their schedule for the next few days.
The school had arranged for a ten-day trial instance.
Within ten days, they could gain experience in both the LV5 Fire Rat Nest and the LVIO Crimson Altar instances.
The group planned to spend the first three days sweeping through the Fire Rat Nest, while giving the LVIO Crimson Altar instance a try in the last few days.
At the same time, they divided the spoils obtained from the instances.
Chen Xiao received the Taunt Skill Book, while Yao Zhixue took the Giant Ice Fruit.
As for the Beast Egg, no one wanted it.
Chen Xiao and Yao Zhixue already had their spoils and were embarrassed to ask for more.
Cai Shen and Zhang Ping’an, on the other hand, claimed that they hadn’t contributed much and absolutely refused to take it.
Eventually, Zheng Cheng ended up pocketing the Beast Egg.
Outside the town, Zhao Yunxiao bid farewell to Yao Zhixue and Zheng Cheng’s group.
“Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue is now part of the Night’s Watch. We also have a base here, so we won’t be going to the hotel with you.”
Chen Xiao sourly remarked, “The Night’s Watch sure has good benefits. Free travel?”
Zhao Yunxiao laughed, “What do you say, kiddo? Want to join us in the Night’s
Watch?” “Really?!”
“Just kidding!”
Chen Xiao was instantly crestfallen.
Zheng Cheng also smiled and said, “In that case, we’ll see you tomorrow.”
Zhao Yunxiao seriously said, “Zheng Cheng, please seriously consider our invitation to the Night’s Watch.”
“The Night’s Watch truly needs talents like you.”
“I’ll consider it.”
On the way back, Chen Xiao curiously asked, “Brother Cheng, why won’t you join the Night’s Watch?”
“The Night’s Watch…”
Regarding the official organization, Zheng Cheng’s mindset was still stuck in his previous life.
In this life, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to join the Night’s Watch.
The reality was, he had too many secrets to hide!
But now, the only place to uncover the mysteries of his abilities seemed to be within the organization.
Should he really consider infiltrating the ranks of the Night’s Watch for that purpose?
Wait…
Zheng Cheng’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He had obtained a skill scroll when he finished the Fire Rat Nest instance.
This was a skill he could learn on his own.
He wondered if learning a skill from a skill book would result in a variation.
“Yeah, Brother Cheng, the Night’s Watch is great. It offers a lot of perks. Plus, you don’t have to serve in the army, and you can go to the Otherworld
Battlefield whenever you want to…”
Cai Shen’s huge head leaned over, startling Chen Xiao into moving back.
“Damn, Brother! There’s no one around. Change back now.”
“No one?”
Cai Shen looked around and indeed found no one else nearby.
He then shook his body and shimmered, transforming back into his original form.
“Hmm…”
A naked young man.
“For crying out loud, put on some clothes. Others might think you’re a pervert!”
“Tch- A pervert as handsome as me?”
Cai Shen was full of himself.
The group joked and chatted, and soon they arrived at Weihe Town.
Cai Shen, meanwhile, took out a set of plain white clothes from his bag and put them on.
Red Star Hotel.
While everyone was checking in, Chen Xiao suddenly pulled Zheng Cheng aside and whispered mysteriously, “Brother Cheng, do you know who I just saw?
“who?”
All the way, Zheng Cheng was thinking about his Change Ability and skill book, so he hadn’t paid much attention to the crowd around him.
“Song Chaoyu!”
“who?”
“Song Chaoyu!” Chen Xiao said, “Our class’s beauty. I just saw her in town shopping with a few classmates.”
“Her?”
Zheng Cheng was a bit surprised, “What’s she doing here?”
