Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

AS sighed deeply. Even though his team was wiped out, it was still very interesting to hear such a thing.

"You mean the 'strategy group'? After you were rejected, there was a lot of discussion on the forums. Some people accused them of thinking they had cleared the dungeon without even entering it. The name was really too arrogant."

"Oh, so they later changed their name to 'Strategy Team'?"

"Yes—they should be… I've shared the map with you. I'll draw it for you."

AS shared all of their explorations, and the team map immediately updated many areas.

After finishing this task, AS drew a dot on the map——

"Up the corridor is the administrative room of the 'Yushi Chamber of Commerce' branch. There's a boss there. Two Rank 8 'Appraisers', very skilled. The 'Strategy Team' is currently conducting a strategy there, and honestly, it's having a difficult time."

Oh, it should be the "Evaluator" of another branch.

After all, this branch... had already been stabbed to death by Yu Man's ice spear.

If that's the case, the ninth-rank branch chief "Pricer" should also be here, probably a mid-level boss...

In addition, they are playing at home, so their strength should be much higher than that of the Rat People.

Just as Yu Man was pondering the composition of the dungeon, AS spoke cautiously—

"I'll tell you everything I know in exchange for... the next time we meet... we won't attack each other, is that okay? Take whatever you like, and we'll give it up immediately. If you agree, we can also form an alliance with Xiankan or something..."

"Of course you can. Just go and talk to Yago."

Yu Man didn't mind. After all, the world was vast, and the players were numerous. Large guilds were initially dominant, but after going global, they encountered various difficulties. Therefore, forming alliances was a very normal thing.

AS's team is decently strong - mainly, they're a guild group, and having this kind of quality is pretty good.

Since they are all from Shimlabakken, Yu Man is willing to give them face.

This is a bit like a hometown complex. No matter what nationality people are in real life, they will find more or less a sense of identity with each other in the game because the name of the main city island is the same...

"The dungeon strategy has actually been going on for two days."

AS introduced it.

"There was originally a mini-boss in the hall after the corridor, but the 'strategy team' killed him and reportedly opened a rainbow chest."

"So, what about the fork in the road leading to the warehouse downstairs?"

"It's been explored by various teams, including us. There was a strange evil ritual going on down the fork in the road. The boss wasn't a merchant, but some evil spirit. But it's been taken care of. Only two doors and the large warehouse behind them remain."

"storehouse……"

"The warehouse requires a key to open. Everyone thinks it's either a branch boss room or a bonus room. Regardless, no one has the key, so everyone's stuck there and trying to conquer the main path above."

"Oh, so now since the main raiding team is the 'Raiders Group', the other teams can only watch, right?"

After understanding the current situation, Yu Man basically grasped the current situation.

AS added, "The 'strategy group' was very strong in PVP combat. The two groups combined couldn't defeat them, so no one could grab the boss. It was for this reason that we unfortunately thought we could kill you to relieve our boredom... How unfortunate."

"Row."

After asking some miscellaneous questions, Yu Man had no more questions.

AS confirmed with Yu Man their friendly non-aggression relationship in the form of typing screenshots, and then left with peace of mind.

Just like that, all that remained of their existence was the spoils scattered across the ground.

……

"What is the Eel God doing now?"

“I’m paying off my previous credit card.”

Xiaolu and Liutongqihua chatted while collecting the spoils on the ground.

But not equipment, but valuable consumables and supplies.

Busy with the two of them were many hands reaching out from nothingness.

They were picking up all the equipment, and when you get closer, you can seem to hear some exclamations and heated conversations behind their hands.

This is exactly the price Yu Man paid.

He put on a good show for the Reflection of the Old World, and then gave it equipment that he didn't need and was too lazy to sell.

In addition, Yu Man ordered his "eyes" to be at the entrance of the copy.

If someone comes in, just kill him and consider it as some extra money.

It took a full ten minutes to finally finish cleaning up the battlefield.

Xiaolu, Liutongqihua, Xiangxiang - even Xiaobing had to carry a backpack to help them share some of the consumables.

And the old world reflection was very satisfied.

"A promise-keeper who treats everyone equally and mercilessly! As you wish! We will meet your conditions and provide you with an additional reserve of magic power."

"So... one of the gods himself took up residence in my knot?"

“Not to the extent… not to the extent.”

Those praying hands, representing all the audience, brought Yu Man the promised object.

It's like holding the last pool of water in the desert, rare and cautious.

But it is not dedicated to Yu Man.

But - dedicated to Yu Man’s shadow.

His hands spread apart—something vague and unclear fell into Yuman's shadow.

"We have placed 'vitality' within your shadow. It can now connect with your soul, much like a stranger's soul weapon, extending from it... It will in no way negatively impact you."

Yu Man felt it while listening to the explanation.

Just as people can feel the existence of their hands, feet, and limbs, they can feel the stomach telling them whether they are hungry or full.

Suddenly—Yu Man began to feel... to feel his own shadow!

Not only does it become part of the magic cycle, but it also serves as an additional reservoir, storing a considerable amount of magic.

"You guys really have some interesting magic hidden away—the agreement is fulfilled."

"It's just ancient sorcery—the pact is done."

With that, the summoning was successfully completed and both parties were very satisfied.

……

They set off again.

From being side by side when they first came in, it gradually became that everyone depended on Man.

"Eel, when will I be able to wipe out the entire group of a hundred people like you?" The little deer was so obsessed with this that he forgot to walk from time to time.

"You're capable of that level just now...it's just that you're scared and don't think it's possible."

The little deer was surprised: "Can I...?"

"You have a weapon ultimate and a soul weapon ultimate. If you use them separately, you'll have about ten seconds of invincibility. That's enough time for you to roam around and kill all the squishy classes."

"Uh... what happens after I lose my ultimate move?"

"The rest are plate armor classes with no damage. You can just use your mobility to walk around and slowly chop them down. They can't hit you anyway. The main thing is to use your brain to distinguish which ones are most important to kill and which ones can be killed easily, so take your time to kill them."

Yu Man used simple and easy-to-understand language to teach Xiaolu the basics of the basics.

There's no way around it. When it comes to PVP, this guy has always relied on his talent, equipment, and skills to crush his opponents, and has always won overwhelmingly.

On the contrary, all the basic things are lacking.

Yu Man's words stirred up a wave in Xiaolu's heart: "Then I...find a group of 100 people and try it?"

"Well, you have a nurse now to draw fire for you, and it can also heal you a few times. The error tolerance rate is very high. You two can try it... Then take Xiaobing with you. If the test fails, let Xiaobing take care of everyone for you."

Hey, it feels like I’m leading the boss - and in fact, I am leading the boss.

A perfect practice environment, with strong people to back you up and provide practice conditions.

And the boss is very generous.

"Okay! I won't let Xiaohua down. I'll pay for her treatment! As for Xiaobing... I'll give her a bath ten times! I've seen it so many times, I want to give the little dragon girl a bath, too..."

"Isn't this a bargain for you? Brother, you really have some guts."

The deer laughed and shamelessly admitted it.

However, when they arrived at the hall, they did not go up the main road.

"Let's go down there and take a look first, and then we'll deal with the people up there later."

Although the deer followed him down, he still had questions: "Didn't they say... that the bottom has been explored thoroughly, and the only thing left is the door that can't be opened and has no key?"

"Perhaps you can break it open? You wield the sharpest sword of our time."

as well as--

"Down below is the warehouse of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce branch. They're so generous with building materials for 10,000 gold coins, it's hard to imagine how much stuff is stored in such a warehouse. It's right in front of me, so of course I have to see it."

In addition, Yu Man was somewhat interested in the evil ritual mentioned by AS.

The reason why they fought with the rat people a few days ago was actually because they touched the ritual nodes that the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce" had inserted overseas.

From then on, Yu Man always felt that the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce" was hiding some little secrets.

Even... they kept this secret for decades.

Soon, they came underground along a wider path.

Along the way, you can see deep axle marks, which are left by years of transporting goods.

Perhaps because many groups of players have been here, there are traces of messy battles everywhere, making it difficult to see the previous evil rituals.

no way.

But - they saw the door that AS mentioned.

Tall, solid, and heavy.

It would even be more appropriate to say that it is a wall, and a load-bearing wall at that.

No expense was spared in craftsmanship and materials in the construction of this massive door.

An incredible mixture of eighth-level materials, blessed by various rituals, enchantments, magic, and runes, and even using ninth-level materials as lock cores.

"I want to tear this thing down and take it back to the Mage Tower to use as my door." The knowledgeable Yu Man also admired its sturdiness.

It can be seen that there are faint traces left by a large number of players, which only speak of their powerlessness.

Behind this gate is the warehouse of the "Youshi Chamber of Commerce" where an unknown amount of wealth is stored.

"...Eel, do you want me to try it?"

Question sentence.

But the traveler's sword was already in his hand.

Since I didn't hit anyone, it seems like a good idea to hit the door.

"Boss, please help. This is a door worth chopping down." Yu Man said respectfully.

Liu Tongqihua, who had been nervous since joining the team, suddenly realized something at this moment.

The relationship between Yu Man and Xiao Lu is not as serious as imagined.

She originally thought that top players sympathized with each other and were aloof from the world, but they only recognized each other.

In fact, it is——

"Boss, you look so handsome when you draw your sword! Okay, we've finished taking pictures! I'll cast some enchantments on you right away..."

"Hmm, if you chop it open, I'll reward you with a freshly roasted goose."

188 Lock

“Huh… all right!”

It took about two minutes for Yu Man to complete the final enchantment.

At this point, she gave Xiaolu a luxurious imperial experience.
