What kind of girl would travel to another world?

The previous chapter talked about the time when Qi Xinyang was still conquering the dungeon. After conquering two dungeons in a row, she went to get the mysterious object "Lead-Heavy Fake Beast" that had been discarded in the deepest part of the abandoned underground palace. However, she did not encounter any reborn monsters along the way. She began to doubt whether the rumors told by the president of the Adventurer's Guild were fabricated, and whether there were other purposes. Later, on her way back to the royal capital, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She always felt that the president of the Adventurer's Guild was either completely lying to her, or hiding some plans that he didn't want her to know. To be honest, her guess was quite accurate.

At this moment, Qi Xinyang, having just entered the Adventurer's Guild, stormed straight up to the second floor. Upon reaching the second floor, she noticed the door to the president's office was open, and without a second thought, she walked in. Immediately upon entering, she launched into a tirade, demanding, "You lied to me! You said... Hey, there's someone there?" Halfway through her sentence, she thought to herself, "Oh no! I think I'm a little premature in tirade." She hadn't anticipated the presence of another Highman man in the office—the president's guest.

The president's guest said to the president, "I'll be leaving first. Let's talk again when we have a chance." When he saw someone coming, he stood up to indicate that he was leaving.

The president said to the guest, "Take care!" and then he stood up to see him off.

When the guest saw the president stand up, he said to him, "No need to see me off. You have other guests here." After that, he turned and left.

The president then stopped and stood to watch the guest leave. It was obvious that he respected the guest very much.

When the guest passed by the door, he looked at Qi Xinyang with a smile.

Qi Xinyang felt a little shy because of the customer's smile, and thought to herself, "What's wrong with this person? Why is he smiling at me? Is he sick?" She frowned and didn't say a word the whole time, just waiting for the customer to leave.

After watching the guest leave, Qi Xinyang finally walked over to the president's desk. To avoid being blamed for not knocking, she immediately took the initiative. She asked the president, "Why didn't you close the door when you were talking about private matters?" With just one sentence, she completely dismissed her "mistake."

The guild leader replied to Qi Xinyang, "It's nothing personal. They've always been increasing the bounties on dungeon quests, and this time they're discussing increasing the bounty again." He turned to watch the passenger board the carriage outside. He only mentioned "increased bounties," but didn't mention that future bounties on mid-level monster quests would also be increased. He had other plans, so he kept it a secret until Qi Xinyang discovered him.

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang muttered to herself, "Oh! That's why the bounty for the dungeon mission is so high..." She began to remember that when she was chatting with the president before, she also heard the president mention that different missions have different bounties.

The president nodded, responded to Qi Xinyang, and said, "Yeah!" After that, he sat down again.

Qi Xinyang pondered and muttered, "That means there will be more bounties next time." After she finished talking about the bounty, she suddenly remembered what she had just said when she came in. She said to the president angrily, "Hey! That thing you were talking about..."

The president immediately interrupted Qi Xinyang and said to her, "Wait! You must not have had dinner yet? You didn't have lunch either, right? Eat something first, okay? Haha!" After that, he immediately called Carlyle and asked her to bring food and hot drinks.

So, they ate something first, and Qi Xinyang was not as irritable as before.

The president put down the hot drink in his hand and said to Qi Xinyang, "Look, eat something first. You will feel a little calmer and more relaxed. Hahaha." He kept using his smile to soothe Qi Xinyang's emotions.

Qi Xinyang asked the president, "Who was that tall, handsome guy just now?" She was just asking casually, not really interested in the guest's true identity. If it could give her some clues, that would be great.

The president said to Qi Xinyang, "If you have a chance, ask him yourself." He didn't intend to let Qi Xinyang know too much inside information right now.

Qi Xinyang asked the president with a suspicious look and tone, "So mysterious?" She was now even more convinced that the president in front of her must be hiding some secret.

The president said to Qi Xinyang, "He is not an unknown person. You will know him in the future." He felt that the time was not right yet and Qi Xinyang should not know too much.

Seeing that the president wasn't about to tell the truth, Qi Xinyang changed the subject. She emphasized, "Let's get down to business! Is there really such a rumor?" She was referring to the rumor about the underground city that the president had mentioned earlier.

The president said to Qi Xinyang in confusion: "Ah?" Although Qi Xinyang asked this question suddenly, he also knew what Qi Xinyang was asking and was just pretending to be stupid.

Qi Xinyang frowned and said to the president, "That's what you're talking about. The rumor that monsters won't respawn if the dungeon is cleared!" After saying that, her suspicion of the president increased a little more.

The president smiled and said to Qi Xinyang, "Haha. Of course there is, that's why we asked you to verify the authenticity." His expression and tone made it impossible to guess whether he was telling the truth or a lie.

Qi Xinyang's eyes drifted back and forth, and she slowly said to the president: "Well... there is a piece of news about the dungeon, which I think is quite valuable. Do you want to hear it? Pay me quickly!" After that, she reached out for money.

The president looked surprised and said to Qi Xinyang, "I have already given you the S-level pass." He didn't expect Qi Xinyang to ask him for money again.

Qi Xinyang said to the president righteously: "That doesn't count, that is what I deserve." After that, she implemented the "tactical lean back" and leaned back.

The president pretended to think about it and said to Qi Xinyang, "Then increase the reward amount." He looked very sincere when he spoke.

Qi Xinyang didn't fall for it at all and said directly to the president: "Don't try to play tricks on me! You said yourself that the man just now came here to increase the reward amount. Don't always try to fool me with what I deserve!" Her tone already revealed dissatisfaction.

The president shook his head and asked Qi Xinyang, "How much do you want for this information?" He began to show signs of compromise.

When Qi Xinyang saw that the president had compromised, she thought about it and said to him, "Wait, this is not news that money can buy. Ask for something else, but I can't think of what to ask for, so I'll owe it to you first! We agreed that you must give it to me when I want it!" She was just pushing her too far, and the president's perfunctory efforts for so long were all in vain.

The president said to Qi Xinyang in embarrassment: "This...this, I can't guarantee that I can give it to you." He really couldn't figure out Qi Xinyang, and he was always thinking.

Qi Xinyang said to the president: "Don't worry, you must have it. If you don't have it, it's useless to ask you for it." In this way, she exchanged "information" for a condition that would be beneficial to her in the future.

The president sighed deeply and asked Qi Xinyang, "Then tell me, what kind of news is it?" From his tone, it can be seen that he has surrendered. After all, the news of the dungeon is indeed very important to him.

Qi Xinyang said to the president: "Ahem! The monsters in the dungeon no longer respawn." As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately observed the president's expression.

The president immediately asked Qi Xinyang, "Did you clear the dungeon? Which dungeon?" It was obvious that he was very anxious to know which dungeon it was.

Qi Xinyang answered the president without any hurry and said, "You see, that's why you say this 'news' is valuable. No, it can't be bought even with money. I didn't clear the dungeon." Although she changed her tone, she was always observing the president's expression.

The president asked Qi Xinyang in confusion, "What's going on? Why is it different from the rumors I heard?" After saying that, he seemed to be stunned.

Qi Xinyang, who had been observing the changes in the president's expression, thought to herself, "Is this guy really not lying to me? Or is he deliberately putting on an act for me?" Still a little skeptical, she said to the president, "Even the final monster hasn't been reborn, but the other monsters that weren't cleared before still exist." After she finished speaking, she yawned, as if she had eaten too much from the meal just now and began to feel a little sleepy.

After analyzing for a while, the president said to Qi Xinyang, "Go on." He really wanted to hear how Qi Xinyang, the "person involved," analyzed the matter.

Qi Xinyang continued to say to the president, "Then it is very likely that the final monster is the main reason for the existence of the dungeon. As long as the final monster is gone, the dungeon will slowly disappear, and other monsters will not be able to be reborn." At this point, she paused, and continued, "If you analyze it more deeply, it is very likely that the existence of the final monster is the reason why the dungeon has magical energy. It is the final monster that has been generating magical energy, and the increasing amount of magical energy makes it impossible for it to absorb all of it, and finally it overflows. Then the overflowing magical energy turns the surrounding environment into a dungeon, and the magical energy that continues to overflow makes the scope of the dungeon continue to expand. Then other monsters also appeared, and as the dungeon expanded, the monsters also increased. When the magical energy overflows outside the dungeon, the outside world will slowly become a dungeon." She stopped here and looked at the president again.

The president didn't say anything, but just listened to Qi Xinyang's analysis and thought about it himself.

Qi Xinyang then said to the president: "In summary, the monster is ultimately the 'heart' of the dungeon. Without the heart, the dungeon loses its vitality and can only slowly wait for death." Her analysis was so logical that the president could not refute it.

The president nodded and muttered, "Oh, that's why the monsters in the dungeon overflowed outside. After listening to your analysis, it all makes sense." He looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Qi Xinyang said to the president, "Yes, it's the situation at Juexin Waterfall that you mentioned before. Well, let me make it clear first, I'm not going to that place. Unless you can give me a reward that I can't refuse, hehe." She thought to herself, "The situation at Juexin Waterfall is so exaggerated, I must extort a lot of money from you, right?" Thinking of this, she expected the president to give her more rewards.

The president replied to Qi Xinyang, saying, "Let's put the matter of that place aside for now." It was obvious that he had his own plans.

After hearing this, Qi Xinyang thought to herself, "Why doesn't this person play by the rules? He doesn't even care about Juexin Waterfall? This is a bit hard to understand. It's understandable that other adventurers don't like to go there, but how come even the president doesn't care about it?" Thinking of this, she began to guess the president's thoughts again.

The president took another sip of the hot drink and asked Qi Xinyang, "Do you plan to clear the monsters in the dungeon again?" He seemed to be asking casually.

Qi Xinyang was surprised and thought to herself, "Huh? They said the dungeon might be slowly disappearing, so I still need to continue clearing the monsters out of the dungeon?" Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and said to the president, "Clearing it depends on the situation. I have to pay more." After saying that, she was waiting for the president to pay more.

The president immediately replied to Qi Xinyang with a smile, "Oh, oh, oh. No need. Whether to clear it or not... it's up to you. It's up to you." After saying that, he thought to himself, "It's up to you. This way I can make both sides happy. If it's not cleared, the nobles will blame me, and I will say that Qi Xinyang is only interested in conquering dungeons and not interested in doing other things. If it is cleared, the king will blame me, and I will say that Qi Xinyang is bloodthirsty about monsters and I can't control her. In short, don't tell her directly for now, this little girl is too cunning, I'm afraid she will want this and that..." It turned out that he was under pressure from both sides. When the king heard that Qi Xinyang had conquered two dungeons in a row, he came to warn the president not to let Qi Xinyang clear the dungeons. The nobles, on the other hand, tried to persuade and bribe the president to let Qi Xinyang clear as many dungeons as possible.
