Chu Feng felt that, although as a reincarnator he possessed the advantage of knowing the future and had obtained a limit-breaking SSS-rank talent with stats far beyond everyone else’s, every move Chu Fu made still brought him unexpected surprises.
Chu Fu was already Level 30.
She had even entered an Origin-level dungeon that he had never heard of before.
This filled Chu Feng with a sense of urgency.
He wanted to be the one carrying his little sister through the game, not the one being carried by her.
More importantly, he knew that once certain players grew stronger, they would attract the attention of even more monsters and gods. He was afraid that Chu Fu might be in danger.
But then again, Chu Fu was already incredibly powerful, and she had a group of formidable teammates. It seemed there was no need for him to worry about her.
And yet, why did the thought of not needing to worry about her make him feel even worse?!
No. He had to grow stronger and become his sister’s eternal shield!
Without wasting a second, Chu Feng continued fighting.
…
Within Fengdu Town.
The remaining seventy thousand players were beating their chests and stamping their feet in frustration.
In fact, they had begun searching the moment they realized Chu Fu was missing.
As the star town of Linjiang City, Fengdu Town naturally had many local reporters, as well as reporters from other places, conducting livestreams.
Lin Haowan had originally intended to lead his guild into battle, but after discovering that Chu Fu had disappeared, he immediately located a player’s livestream.
Before long, he learned through the scrolling comments that Chu Fu and the others had actually vanished in front of the rift.
However, the player broadcasting the stream could not see any information about the dungeon, nor could they track anyone who entered the rift.
It was as if they had truly been swallowed up.
Jiang Yixing had also led the members of the Star Alliance into the spatial rift.
The players at the other three walls still had to defend the town against the enormous hordes of monsters, so they naturally had no way to go to the rift and investigate.
Another half hour passed before a player finally reached the edge of the rift and revealed the situation inside.
Everyone learned about the Origin dungeon.
But just then, countless Star Alliance players began flooding the livestream chat with messages.
“Please, Thorny Guild, save our oppa!”
“We’ll pay any price! Our oppa died right at the dungeon entrance. Hurry and save him!”
“Can anyone get in touch with the Thorny Guild? I’m dying of anxiety! Our oppa is lying on the ground, and it must be freezing!”
The viewers in the livestream did not care what happened to their “oppa.” They were far more curious about what the dungeon was like. After learning that every monster inside was comparable to a Goblin Abyss King, they all lost their nerve.
The entrance to the rift had already been occupied by goblins, and there had been no news from Plantman and the others.
Many people even suspected that the Thorny Guild had met with disaster as well.
This caused the remaining players to lose heart.
Moreover, after Jiang Yixing died, goblins began spawning on the eastern side.
The players had no choice but to send a group of people to defend the eastern wall.
At this moment, Laoji Fuli stepped forward and summoned a massive skeleton army to hold back the monsters outside the eastern wall.
They finally managed to survive until the ninth wave and were merely waiting for the monsters of the tenth wave to arrive.
Yet the system seemed to have frozen. No monsters appeared for a long time. As for asking them to enter the dungeon and investigate?
Forget it.
The price of being unable to log into the game for one hundred days was too great. They were not Plantman or the other top experts.
Besides, there had still been no news. If anything, that only made them even more worried.
Could it be that even the top experts had been wiped out inside that Origin-level dungeon?
If so, they definitely could not go in.
And so they waited for more than an hour.
Then, a shocking global announcement was issued.
It was not limited to Server 030. Every server across Global Regions 1–9999 heard it.
However, even after clearing the dungeon, Chu Fu and the others did not return immediately.
They were cleaning up the battlefield!
…
Inside the Origin dungeon.
Within the City of Goblins.
The loot dropped by the Goblin Divine Emissary was picked up. Everyone was thrilled at first, but their excitement soon turned into bitter disappointment.
[The Goblin God’s Blessed Robe (Diamond Rank): Exclusive to Goblin Divine Servants.]
[God-Blessed Diamond Necklace (Diamond Rank): Exclusive to Goblin Divine Servants.]
Chu Fu knew that Diamond-rank equipment was far beyond what a Level 30 player could possess.
Players would have to reach at least Level 40 before they could possibly obtain Diamond-rank equipment in top-tier dungeons.
Yet their very first piece of Diamond-rank equipment had an exclusive-wearer restriction. This was a huge disappointment to Chu Fu.
That was not all. The Goblin Divine Emissary’s other pieces of equipment—the boots, bracelet, ring, and weapon—were also Diamond-rank, but required Level 50 to equip.
It gave them the feeling that they had fought for nothing.
Chu Fu could only place the equipment in the guild warehouse as display pieces.
At that moment, Zhimengzhe timidly raised a hand.
“Captain, I awakened a second talent called Weaver. It can dismantle equipment and turn it into materials, then reweave it. There’s even a chance to improve the equipment’s quality. How about letting me try the equipment?”
Chu Fu immediately brightened.
Equipment that could not be used was no different from trash. If it could be dismantled into materials, there was no reason to feel it was going to waste.
Level 50 was still far too distant. They might as well dismantle it.
“Sure. You can have all of it!”
Chu Fu bundled up the equipment and handed it to Zhimengzhe.
“If you need any materials, use guild contribution points to exchange for them. The guild will reimburse everything. Once the new equipment is made, everyone can exchange for it with guild contribution points!”
Chu Fu then addressed all the members of the Thorny Guild:
“This time, everyone took part in this large-scale guild dungeon, and the battle was intense. So we’ll be using a combination of free looting and contribution-point distribution.
“I know that some people obtained more than others, and some players may feel that they got the short end of the stick.
“But I believe the rewards from this dungeon are enough to make up for the value of the equipment.
“Dark Gold-rank equipment will come sooner or later. Don’t forget that, besides Fengdu Town, there are also Guguan Town, Fenghe Town, Leigu Town, and more and more new towns appearing every day.
“When the time comes, I may ask you to go fight and provide support, and you may not even be willing to go.
“You might think Dark Gold-rank equipment is common and worthless.
“So don’t let temporary gains and losses damage our unity.
“Of course, Dark Gold-rank equipment is currently considered top-tier endgame gear in the game. I hope that excess equipment will first be repurchased through Thorny Guild contribution points. Guild members who lack equipment can also use contribution points to purchase it.
“Since all the equipment from this dungeon has already been distributed, everyone should submit any materials you acquire while exploring to the guild.
“Search in teams and return here to regroup before seven o’clock. Then we’ll leave!”
After Chu Fu finished speaking, everyone scattered and set off to explore the entire city.
However, they all avoided the Divine Servant’s tent.
The best items in this place were certain to be inside. Everyone—even those who were not members of the Thorny Guild—tacitly agreed that anything here belonged to the Plantman team.
Chu Fu and the others entered the residence of the Goblin Divine Emissary. The first items they obtained were the enormous silver-gray gemstones placed in the four directions of the formation protected by the Goblin Divine Emissary.
