Chapter 9

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the end, Wu Yan still told Heaven Punisher about him unlocking the ‘Mysterious Dungeon’.

From the speed at which Heaven Punisher replied, one could see that he was pretty excited. He even typed a few words wrong consecutively.

Heaven Punisher was indeed easy to get along with. He did not intend to ask for details. Instead, he arranged to meet Wu Yan at the Beginners’ Village’s entrance.

Since Wu Yan had already reached LV10 one step ahead of them, there was already no point in fighting over the highest level of the same batch.

After about 20 minutes, three people appeared in the Beginners’ Village.

Their equipment was evidently much better than the equipment of the new players.

The originally cold-looking Hidden Killer also looked at Wu Yan, who was wearing a Hedgehog Set, with a strange expression.

It did not look like a Mage’s outfit at all!

Fortunately, after entering Main City, there would be many fashion shops without attributes that could conceal their equipment’s appearance.

However, that was not very useful. Few people used that.

After all, only the actual equipment’s effects would have all sorts of amazing effects.

Heaven Punisher, on the other hand, was very serious. “Brother Wandering, you’ve gotten this equipment from the Mysterious Dungeon, right?”

“Yes, but this is a Unique Dungeon because I killed all the Hedgehog Bugs and triggered the Mysterious Dungeon.” Wu Yan answered truthfully.

So that was it.

Heaven Punisher suddenly understood. “No wonder. We also encountered such a Mysterious Dungeon the last time.”

Seeing Wu Yan’s puzzled face, Heaven Punisher explained, “When we used our previous accounts, our guild also encountered such a situation. It was when we were attacking the Magical Bats.”

“We guess that that was a Mysterious Dungeon of genocide.”

Then, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said honestly, “Only five people could enter the Mysterious Dungeon. In the end, all five of us were wiped out.”

“That was also the only time we died.”

Hidden Killer snorted. He was rather displeased with Heaven Punisher’s straightforwardness in revealing their failure.

However, he was also quite surprised.

Wu Yan was actually able to kill a Boss that was full of unknown attributes single-handedly?

He moved his lips. But his cold and aloof nature restricted him from asking Wu Yan about it.

Hidden Killer was really too curious, so he coughed and signaled Heaven Punisher with his eyes.

Heaven Punisher laughed loudly and said, “Brother Wandering, my brother, Hidden Killer, is quite curious about how you fought a Boss 10 levels higher.”

When he heard Heaven Punisher say it was a Boss ten levels higher, Wu Yan’s expression turned serious.

On the surface, Heaven Punisher had always been laughing and joking with an honest-looking appearance. Still, his ability to analyze problems and how he handled things were definitely the style of a great general.

He must be at least a Vice Guild leader or above in the guild.

Wu Yan pondered for a moment. He could not reveal his talent, but he could vaguely say, “It has something to do with my talent.”

Heaven Punisher and Hidden Killer both had Grade A+ talents. They were slightly stronger than the player with the Grade A talent ranked first on the ranking list.

The two of them had seen other people with Grade S talents, and those were the other players from their Legendary Academy.

They were not the top batch of players in the Legendary Academy. They were just the regular batch of players.

In the Legendary Academy, the top batch of players had yet to move in truly.

That was because the top batch had all obtained the only 100 Legendary accounts on Blue Star.

The Legendary accounts were at the maximum level of LV60.

Only after going through the God’s Trial at LV60 could one be considered able to compete with other planets in the game.

However, that was only some insider information from their Legendary Academy. When others heard about it, not many people believed it.

Therefore, some of the slightly better students from the Legendary Academy had obtained Grade S talents when they came to the game.

There was an insurmountable hurdle between Grade S talents and Grade A talents.

Heaven Punisher and Hidden Killer had fought against Grade S talents from the same academy before changing their accounts.

It was tragic.

There was no room for comparison. That was also why Hidden Killer had given up on his Mage account.

It was because Heaven Punisher had performed relatively well in that match.

It was only his Mage that had been targeted too obviously.

That made him feel defeated.

If a Mage had the protection of his teammates in a fight against a monster in an all-out team battle, the effect of the damage would still be pretty good, even if he was just standing still and dealing damage.

However, as the monsters’ levels increased, their Intelligence also became higher. They had Aggro skills that included temporary immunity.

During that short period, they would aim at the team’s most vulnerable and most threatening ones and instantly kill them.

Therefore, other than large guilds, small five-person teams would not include Mage class at all.

———————-

After hearing Wu Yan say that it had to do with his talent, Heaven Punisher and Hidden Killer looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other.

Heaven Punisher didn’t continue asking.

He then started to introduce himself seriously, “Let’s reacquaint ourselves. I’m Heaven Punisher from the Legendary Academy.”

“Hidden Killer also comes from the Legendary Academy.” Hidden Killer also restrained his cold and aloof expression after hearing Wu Yan’s talent.

In the game, it was taboo to ask about topics relating to talents. Those who had posted on the ranking list had all been ridiculed by others in the forum.

In fact, there were strategy masters who designed complementary strategies to counter the talents of every player who had announced their talents.

To date, there was not a single announced talent that had not been targeted.

Wu Yan also spread out his hands. “Wandering from the Number One Player Academy.”

Heaven Punisher let out a weird ‘eh’ when he heard that.

He was a straightforward person and could not hide things at all. He said, “Brother Wandering, there’s a person in your academy who claims to be the strongest in the academy. He’s quite a good-for-nothing.”

He shook his head. “I knew it. Although the power of the Number One Player Academy is average, it’s not to the extent of having that kind of trash as their strongest.”

At that moment, Heaven Punisher displayed his full confidence in his power.

That was the aura cultivated after one had assumed the identity of a pro for a long time.

Wu Yan shook his head, indicating that he did not care about such things.

After all, he was only a temporary worker of the Number One Player Academy. He would perhaps be kicked out of the academy once they found out that he was a substitute who had entered the academy.

After chatting for a while more and under Heaven Punisher’s firm request, Hidden Killer also added Wu Yan as a friend.

Then, Heaven Punisher said gratefully, “Thank you for the information, Brother Wandering. That is the location of the Magical Frog Dungeon.”

“Before you leave the village, it’s better to go to this Dungeon first.”

“It will come in handy later.”

Heaven Punisher’s expression was a little mysterious but also a little serious.
