“This is an undiscovered dungeon!”
The people in the team were stunned for a moment, then quickly became excited.
“Quick, check the level of this dungeon. Can we enter?” the Thief class player who had just spoken yelled excitedly.
“A dungeon appearing in a level 15 monster area, we should meet the level requirement, but whether we can clear it, I’m not sure.” The warrior class player who had just obtained a new shield frowned.
The monsters outside were already so tough, the ones inside the dungeon would definitely be stronger. Even if their team could enter, there was no guarantee they’d be able to defeat the monsters within.
“We’ll try anyway. We’ll be cautious and run if we can’t defeat them.” Wang Qi suppressed his excitement and spoke softly.
“Yes, survival is key. If things go sideways, we should leave as soon as possible.
No unnecessary fighting!” said the Priest, Zhou Qing, sounding a little stirred up as well.
“First, let’s check the dungeon level and the number of players allowed…
The group quickly moved towards the entrance of the dungeon.
“Bloody Cage of Sin, this dungeon name sounds creepy…”
“The dungeon requires level 15 to 21 players. Good, we at least meet the
minimum level requirements…”
“This will be tough, I’m afraid we won’t be able to clear this dungeon…”
“This is a five-person dungeon, we only have four, we need one more. Does anyone have a more powerful friend you could invite over?”
“Indeed, preferably a higher-leveled one. I guess the final Boss of this dungeon could be level 18, or even level 20…”
“Or we could just fight the minor monsters inside and not the Boss? Even the minor monsters in the dungeon have a much higher drop-rate…
-Are you kidding me? This is an expedition! Skipping the Boss is like throwing in the towel. If others find out, we’ll be the laughingstock. The Boss represents high-level equipment. Clearing this dungeon, we all could get a full gear upgrade…”
“I wish that were true but I’m afraid we might not defeat it, and end up losing
our lives in the process…”
The four of them started to argue. But soon, they switched to discussing about someone strong they could invite over.
“I know a level 16 Fire Mage. He has a level 15 silver-quality Magic Staff. His damage is incredible. Also, Fire Mages have the highest damage amongst all the Mages. What do you think about inviting him over?”
“I know a level 18 Swordsman. His gear is average but he’s highly intuitive. If we invite him over, he could be sub-tank and our team would be better off.”
“I don’t have anyone. All my friends are lower-leveled than I am…”
Wang Qi opened his friend list and started browsing. Suddenly, he saw a familiar name and hesitated.
“Wang Qi, what’s wrong? Do you know any stronger player?” Seeing Wang Qi’s change of expression, the Priest Zhou Qing curiously asked.
“I’ve never seen Wang Qi hanging out with friends. Most likely, he knows a bunch of dimwits like me.” Said Tang Rong, a Thief, with a smirk.
“It isn’t a big deal if we don’t have anyone else, the four of us can give it a try. With this level 15 blue-quality shield, I’m pretty sure I can at least withstand the minor monster’s attacks until you manage to flee from the dungeon.” The Guardian Ma Yu seemed pretty confident, thanks to his new blue-quality shield.
“Who said I don’t have any powerful friends…” Wang Qi couldn’t help but say, “I’m worried that their levels are too high for them to be interested in a small level 15 dungeon.”
Once Wang Qi finished, the rest of his team were dumbfounded.
“Wang Qi, I give you a 103 for showing off, one score for tolerance, another for understanding, and the last one as a token of fatherly love, hahaha…”
“A player who considers a level 15 dungeon too low? Haha, Wang Qi, could your friend be in the Top 10 Player Ranking? You know such a big shot?”
“Exactly, if you really can get to know a player in the Top 10 Player Ranking, would you still be hanging out with us? Go ahead, invite one over. If you can really do that, you can be our team leader from now on!”
“Yes, yes, we four have been working really well together, forming a permanent team isn’t a bad idea. If you can actually invite a Top 10 Player over, the team leader position is yours!”
“Agreed! But what if he fails to invite someone?” The Priest Zhou Qing picked his nose, smirking and asked.
All eyes fell on Wang Qi.
“I know one, but I can’t guarantee he will come. After all, a level 15 dungeon might indeed be too low leveled for him…” Wang Qi struggled.
“Scoff, in the current Top 10 Player Ranking, apart from the Number 1 player who has already reached level 20 and might look down on a level 15 dungeon, Number 2 is just level 17.1 don’t believe that a level 15 dungeon has no attraction for him.”
“Exactly, unless his gear is all level 15 silver quality and he doesn’t need anything from a level 15 dungeon. But how could a level 17 player possibly…”
As they were talking, they suddenly fell silent. They looked at each other in amazement. Zhou Qing cursed, “Holy crap, Wang Qi, you wouldn’t happen to be talking about the Number 1 player in the Player Ranking, would you?”
“It is Song Jian, the Number 1 player. He saved me once when I first started the game, and we’ve been in contact ever since…” Wang Qi said innocently.
“Holy crap, you know such a big shot and you’ve kept it from us till now, guys, what should we do?”
“Beat him up!”
“Right, right, cover your head, bend down, stick your butt out…
After their bout of playful scuffling, they became a bit more serious again.
“You know, he’s already level 20, he might indeed not be interested in raiding a level 15 dungeon…”
“Exactly, what if he already has level 20 equipment…”
“Wang Qi, tell us honestly, how good is your relationship with him? Would he help us out?”
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll ask him first. But he is a Swordsman. If something drops in the dungeon that he needs, we should yield to him.”
“Of course. As long as the big shot is willing to come, anything he needs will be his. I don’t believe that every drop from this dungeon would be useful for a Swordsman…”
“Before talking about the equipment, even just for the experience, it’s worth it for us. After clearing the dungeon, I believe we could at least level up.
“I believe I could level up twice…”
Wang Qi took a deep breath and opened his chat with Song Jian. As the call went out, his nervousness suddenly intensified.
