A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.

As Ah Pu Pu struggled, he found that the negative effects on his body had dissipated somewhat, and he could move his hands and feet to some extent. He immediately drew back his bowstring and aimed at the tree roots in the distance.

But his trembling arm was too weak to exert any force, and the arrow went astray, causing no harm.

9, 8, 7, 6, 5...

Langya Yue threw her shield with all her might, hoping to inflict at least some damage.

Leng Yueru's gaze followed Nie Wan intently, so tense she could hardly breathe.

4.

Just as the numbers were about to reach zero, three silver needles pierced through the branches and embedded themselves in the roots.

The sudden increase of 150 points of damage became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Ghost Tree's health bar was completely depleted, and a few groans came from the center of the tree. Whether it was the hard branches and trunk or the sharp dark green leaves, they all began to wither and turn to dust, scattering in the wind.

[Congratulations to players Youyuehan, Lanxiangyuan, and Liliyuanshangpu... for successfully clearing the dungeon "Deep in the Serpent Forest".]

The moment this message was posted, the world chat channel erupted once again.

When the first message about clearing the dungeon flashed by, everyone was already excited. They were all saying what kind of amazing items You Yuehan and Lan Xiangyuan had obtained, since they had cleared all the dungeons so far.

Now that the message about clearing the border has flashed by, in addition to feeling moved once again, some people have also noticed something unusual.

What kind of place is this deep, dark forest of serpents?

[I don't know.]

I'm desperately begging for help from the pros! I really want to grind dungeons!

[The depths of the Serpent Forest are definitely related to the Serpent Forest dungeon.]

Could it be a dungeon within a dungeon, a large dungeon with a smaller one inside?

[@幽月寒 and @兰湘慨, please, two experts, come and answer my question!]

[@幽月寒 @兰湘慲, please help!]

[Please help, experts! +1]

No matter how many requests for answers appeared on the world channel, Nie Wan ignored them all. She pulled Lan Xiangyuan, who had finally managed to break free from the gap, to the Ghost Face Tree Corpse Gem and made her touch the corpse.

The others also broke free after the branches and leaves withered into fragments, and gathered around the two of them, watching with expectant eyes as Lan Xiangyuan touched the corpse.

Touching the snake woman just now was already a great success.

This Ghost-Faced Tree is no less powerful or of the same rank as the Snake Woman, so it should yield some good items.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lan Xiangyuan took out forty-two exquisite pieces of equipment, thirty-six exquisite props, and a fragment of a spiritual treasure.

As for superior equipment, Nie Wan no longer cared about it.

This is the benefit of having an incredibly lucky person by your side when you're exploring new lands.

The exquisite set that would normally require three or four runs to collect was obtained by Lan Xiangyuan after just two encounters with the boss.

This time, Nie Wan did not sell all the superior equipment to Liliyuan Shangpu.

After all, their cooperation was mainly for the sake of the snake woman Janna, and the killing of the Ghost Face Tree was a purely unexpected bonus, mostly thanks to Nie Wan.

Nie Wan naturally wouldn't give away these high-quality level 15 equipment so easily.

The author of the Lili Plain also had a complex mindset.

This time, Nie Wan won, and he knew that this person's momentum was soaring and unstoppable.

Knowing this is one thing, but knowing that she might become a powerful figure in the future doesn't mean I can trip her up. I can only offer my blessings, maintain a good relationship, and continue our cooperation.

Regarding the equipment dropped by the Ghost Face Tree, Koi Koihara said he didn't need any of it, but he hoped to buy the fragment of the Cold Spring Palace map, which was of the Spirit Treasure level, from Nie Wan.

Nie Wan smiled and said, "I'm afraid this can't be sold."

After all, it was an important quest item for the Taiyin Xingjun's job advancement, and it was of great significance to her. How could she possibly give it away so easily?

Knowing he wouldn't get the information and it would be a waste of breath, Li Liyuan left the party after a few pleasantries, intending to log off quickly and inform his superior that someone had obtained the spirit treasure fragment.

Nie Wan could guess his thoughts by observing his expression. She smiled and waved goodbye to the other reluctant people. After everyone left the instance, she asked Lan Xiangyuan, "Where are your parents? Did they fall behind in their levels after being delayed for these past few days?"

"What difference does it make whether it falls or not?"

Lan Xiangyuan gave a helpless, bitter smile: "People their age can't possibly adapt to these things. It's alright, I can support them anyway."

"But we still need to improve them a bit, otherwise, the relationship of supporting each other out of affection will eventually turn in an uncontrollable direction. As the old saying goes, 'A debt of gratitude is repaid with kindness, but a debt of resentment is repaid with bitterness.'"

Lan Xiangyuan, who was idly playing with her braids, immediately stood up straight and looked at her upon hearing this.

"I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, is something wrong at home?"

Nie Wan smiled and said, "Something did happen, but it's nothing serious."

Lan Xiangyuan observed her expression and, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, felt relieved. She followed him out of the instance and, unusually, opened up and spoke her mind.

"Actually, I've always wondered if you come from a family that favors sons over daughters."

"Why?"

"Because you work way too hard." Lan Xiangyuan's tone was tinged with disdain and complaint.

"The drive you have always made me feel like you have no way out, like you can't go on living if you don't do this well. I don't want to be such a hard worker, but you've turned me into a half-workaholic. If you come from a good family, how come you have this kind of personality?"

"Can't you roll it if the environment is good?"

"Yes, but it won't be a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble."

These words made Nie Wan fall silent for a moment.

Lan Xiangyuan was a perceptive person after all, and she noticed a point that Nie Wan had been intentionally or unintentionally ignoring.

Deep down, Nie Wan didn't really consider Shao Wenjun as a brother, father, or mother.

She actually knew that this person didn't love her; he only wanted to suck her blood.

She just wanted to be a blood bank herself.

One reason was to repay her parents' kindness, and the other was that if she gave up even Shao Wenjun, then it seemed that she would have no one truly close to her in this world.

However, even though she was making sacrifices for Shao Wenjun and using boundless pampering to maintain their sibling relationship, Nie Wan subconsciously knew that this intimacy was fake and that she was isolated and helpless.

Therefore, she always moves forward with a sense of utter isolation and no way to retreat.

This isolation allowed her to go further than Lan Xiangyuan, and she adapted to any environment better than Lan Xiangyuan.

But that also meant she would never truly trust anyone.

This trust doesn't mean distrusting others' abilities or being unable to cooperate with them; rather, it means she will never enter into another intimate relationship.

However, compared to being alive, these were all minor issues, and Nie Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with them.

She smiled at Lan Xiangyuan: "No matter what happens in my family, it won't affect our cooperation. You don't need to worry about it."

"I won't take it to heart, at least not for now."

As Lan Xiangyuan spoke, she unconsciously began to play with her new dagger.

"But you also need to change your mindset a bit. You know, a lot of people would want a lucky charm like me who works hard without complaint."

Nie Wan stared at her intently. Lan Xiangyuan's smile was gentle and bright, like a little sun.

In that instant, as if possessed, Nie Wan abandoned her usual practice of using witty remarks to cover up her true feelings.

She just smiled and said, "I know, I will cherish you."

Lan Xiangyuan's face suddenly flushed red. She turned her head hesitantly and spoke after a long while: "Since you put it that way, then I'll tell you the truth. You must be wary of Chen Yicheng. His attention to you is 'malicious'..."

No one answered from behind. Lan Xiangyuan turned around and saw no one at all, only the howling mountain wind whipping up waves of grass.

Lan Xiangyuan's lips twitched, and she almost couldn't help but grimace and pound the ground.

She really is a heartless woman who never stays for anyone. She says she cherishes people, but then she turns around and runs away!

Can't you just let her talk a little longer?

Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let her be harassed by Chen Yicheng forever!
