Chapter 223 Working is impossible
That soft, sweet "Chu mi~" still lingered in the air.
Chen You's inscrutable expression almost caused him to lose his composure.
【Colorful Candy Rabbit (Elite) (LV92)】
"..."
Level 92?
An anniversary event dungeon with such a childish art style has a gatekeeper monster whose level is actually the current version's level ceiling?!
Is this reasonable?
This is unreasonable!
But that's exactly what happened.
What the hell!
Chen You understood almost instantly.
The monster levels in this crappy dungeon are dynamically generated based on the highest-level player in the party!
Saros is level 92, so this rabbit is also level 92!
As a level 22 Qi Refining cultivator, I'm afraid I couldn't even withstand one hop from this rabbit!
On the surface, Chen You maintained a calm and composed expression, as if he had everything under control.
But his right hand, which was behind his back, had already pulled out a [Substitute Talisman] from his backpack with lightning speed and slapped it on his lower back with a "smack".
The talisman merged into the body, and a layer of almost invisible light enveloped the entire body.
Only after doing all this did he breathe a sigh of relief.
but……
He glanced furtively at the mountain-like Saros beside him, and began to make plans in his mind.
A level 92 berserker can definitely withstand it.
There's also Moon Arrow and Ouro, one a magic archer and the other an oracle, top-tier physical and magical damage dealers.
This lineup is enough to slay a dragon, let alone a rabbit.
It seems like all I need to do is shout "666" from behind.
Just as Chen You was pondering his next move, Salos and Oro finally snapped out of their "self-strategy" fantasies.
They determined the rabbit's level.
He instantly understood the difficulty mechanism of the dungeon.
Saros's face darkened visibly, like a storm cloud looming over the city.
His imposing figure took a step forward, and the terrifying sense of oppression made the surrounding cotton candy grass seem shorter.
"President Chen, are you... playing us for fools?"
On the other side, the smile on Oro's face also disappeared, replaced by a cold, emotionless calm.
"You want the three of us to be your free thugs?"
"If this is how you, or the civilization behind you, express sincerity... then with all due respect, it is extremely crude and foolish."
Who are they?
He is the guild leader of the Protoss Guild and a top-three figure on the leaderboard!
He is a figure at the very top of the Origin Realm!
Now, however, a level 22 player has dragged me into a random dungeon in an almost toy-like manner, making me a free henchman.
Working for free!
This is no longer a simple offense, this is an insult!
The sweet vanilla scent now smells like gunpowder.
If Chen You hadn't been still in the newbie protection period, they would have made their move long ago.
No, they should have already launched a widespread manhunt; there would have been no conversation at all.
Seeing this, Moon Arrow quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Presidents, please calm down. I don't think President Chen meant it that way."
"Perhaps...perhaps there's some misunderstanding?"
As she spoke, she frantically gave Chen You meaningful glances, urging him to explain quickly.
However, Chen You seemed not to see her gaze.
Explanation?
He said he accidentally slipped his hand?
That's even more infuriating.
Forcibly changing the subject?
It's not much better than accidentally slipping your hand.
Since things have come to this, let's just keep fooling around!
Looking at the furious Salos and the cold-eyed Auro, he showed no panic, but rather a perfectly appropriate look of confusion.
"Thugs?"
He shook his head slightly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Presidents, do you think I need this?"
He looked around, pointed to the chocolate river and the colorful sunset in the distance, and said in a flat tone.
"This anniversary event dungeon will drop exclusive materials and blueprints for the [Legendary Set - Radiant Set], as stated in the server-wide announcement."
"I'd like to ask the three of you, do you have any legendary sets on you?"
Both Salos and Auro were taken aback by these words.
They certainly have legendary equipment, but only a few individual pieces.
Set?
Currently, it only drops from the newly released "Road to the Throne" dungeon.
Then there's this event instance, where you farm blueprints and materials for crafting.
To this day, no player in the entire Origin Realm possesses a complete legendary set!
Seeing their silence, Chen You chuckled softly.
"I know you think the drop rate is too low, and that farming once or twice is pointless."
Saros scoffed, "Isn't that right?"
"Let alone a set, even a single legendary equipment piece requires thousands or tens of thousands of attempts."
"Thousands upon thousands of times?"
Chen You smiled, a smile that carried a sense of superiority that was unfamiliar to the three top players.
"That's for you."
He paused, then said, word by word:
"For me, it's not necessary."
He trusted the other person's ability to fill in the blanks and didn't say anything more.
Saros and Oro looked at each other in surprise.
They've got it!
I thought about all the irrational things this guy had done before.
Single-handedly, he activated the destruction mode of the dungeon, and his name was permanently etched into it!
Achieve countless unique and inexplicable accomplishments!
To explain all of this as simply "good luck" would be a far-fetched explanation.
But if...
Does he possess some special ability that can influence "probability"?
A crazy idea simultaneously surfaced in the minds of both Salos and Oro.
It is said that certain special civilizations, whose races are weak, receive special care from the Origin Realm.
such as……
Lucky aura!
Or perhaps, this is simply a special talent born from the divine destiny of the civilization behind Chen You?!
At this moment, a storm raged through the minds of the two bigwigs.
They instantly found the most "reasonable" explanation for all of Chen You's irrational behavior!
That's it!
This is his true trump card that allows him to challenge the three great divine races!
He invited them in not to humiliate them, but because he genuinely... wanted to help them farm gear?
Is this a gesture of goodwill? Or a display of bravado?
No, that's not the point.
Regardless of his intentions, we must first prove whether what he said is true.
Do you really want to try it once?
What if a legendary set blueprint really appears...?
That's practically like getting a legendary set for free!
Oro was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled slightly, and the composure and elegance he had shown earlier returned to his face.
"I understand. It seems we did misunderstand Chairman Chen's intentions."
"It is our honor to have the opportunity to witness the birth of a legendary set."
He believed what he heard.
Salos nodded sheepishly.
That's like saying: Me too.
Moon Arrow watched in stunned silence.
She opened her mouth, completely bewildered as to how the situation had taken such a dramatic turn in just a few words.
She clearly thought Chen You was talking nonsense, but why did these two shrewd guys seem to...believe it?
Seeing that the two bigwigs had softened their attitude, Chen You felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
For these players at the top of the pyramid, face is very important.
But the interests that make them stronger will always come first!
Who would want to mess with a legendary set?
However... it's still uncertain whether it will be released.
Chen You cleared his throat and raised his hand in a "please" gesture.
"Alright, now that we've reached a consensus, let's not waste any more time."
His gaze fell on Salos.
"Guild Master Salos, you are a berserker and the highest level, so please go up and keep the rabbit's aggro steady."
Salos's lips twitched slightly, but he still nodded sullenly: "Okay."
Asking the top player on the leaderboard to stir up hatred? Who would believe that?
But now, he actually thinks...it's perfectly normal?
Then, Chen You looked at Oro and Moon Arrow.
"Guild Master Oro, you are the Oracle, so our ranged magic damage output depends on you."
"Guild Master Moon Arrow, you are a magic archer, so be careful to keep your distance from Guild Master Ouro, and be sure to dispel his berserk state if it occurs."
Upon hearing this, the two had different expressions, but both nodded subconsciously.
After arranging everything, Chen You clapped his hands in satisfaction and then took a few steps back.
Moon Arrow finally couldn't help but ask, "And what about you?"
Chen You shrugged confidently.
"I?"
"I'm only level 22."
"..."
At this moment, the three top experts fell silent.
They hold high positions and are revered by millions of players.
Today, however, I was completely outmaneuvered by a level 22 newbie player, who treated me like a subordinate.
And they were unable to refute it.
