Chapter 234 of the dungeon has been completely ruined!
After confirming that all three of them, including Salos, had left, Chen You opened the team list again to check once more.
Not in any team.
well.
He opened the system interface and selected "Reset Copy".
[System notification: All instance statuses will be reset. Please confirm?]
"confirm."
With a soft utterance, the castle, meadow, and candy tree before him began to distort and fade, eventually transforming into a dazzling white light.
As the light faded, Chen You returned to the entrance of the dungeon.
In the distance, the colorful monsters respawned, and the level indicator above their heads had changed from the previous level 92 to the harmless "LV23".
That's more like it.
This is the normal difficulty level that matches his current level.
Without his three top-tier henchmen by his side, Chen You stopped pretending to be a great mage.
As the sword light flashed, the level 23 elite monsters didn't even get within ten meters of him before turning into specks of light in droves.
……
A dozen minutes later.
Chen You stood in front of the final boss Teddy's castle for the fifth time.
He stared blankly at the three pieces of equipment lying in his backpack.
The blueprint for a warrior's chest armor, the blueprint for a mage's trousers, and the blueprint for a mage's gauntlets.
If Oro knew, he'd probably cry his eyes out.
After obtaining his "Heron Hand" blueprints, Chen You immediately rewrote them three more times.
As a result, it was as if it had been arranged by the system, precisely avoiding the cultivator profession.
Once could be attributed to luck, twice to coincidence, but this is the third time...
Chen You frowned.
He looked up at the still adorable candy castle and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Could it be... that we need to perform some other strange ritual?"
He himself found the idea absurd as soon as it came to mind.
Let's talk about it after this game.
He pulled another commemorative cannon from his backpack.
"God, it's time for a miracle."
Chen You reassured himself and skillfully lit the fuse.
Brilliant fireworks rose into the sky again, exploding in the hazy sky above the instance.
At the same moment the fireworks exploded, a cold system notification sounded in his ear without warning.
[System notification: An abnormal energy fluctuation has been detected within the "Colorful Land" instance, exceeding the current spatial node's capacity limit.]
[WARNING: The instance will be forcibly closed and enter cooldown in one minute. Please leave as soon as possible!]
Chen You's expression froze.
What's going on?
Maximum capacity?
He looked at the fireworks still lingering in the sky, then at the mutating Teddy in the distance, and an outrageous thought popped into his head.
No way...
Did I mess up this dungeon?
Rumble!
The mutated Tyrant Teddy has already rushed out.
Its body, which was originally made of candy, now seemed to have been stained by lava, and a scorching heat emanated from it.
Chen You had no time to appreciate it; his attention was focused on the bright red countdown in the upper right corner of his retina.
【00: 59】
【00: 58】
"Holy crap! Are they serious?!"
He couldn't help but curse.
We need to get this done quickly! Don't waste it!
"A stunning sight!"
-15234!
-27589! (Critical Hit)
-14992!
……
A series of scarlet damage numbers appeared like a waterfall above the BOSS's head.
Tyrant Teddy's massive body was forced back repeatedly by the impact of the sword light, completely powerless to fight back.
The next second, its massive body crashed to the ground, turning into a shower of light, among which a cluster of seven-colored rays of light was particularly dazzling.
Chen You didn't look at the countdown. He rushed forward and scooped up the ball of light.
[System Notification: You have obtained the blueprint: Fortune & Prosperity - Heavenly Opening - Sky Heron Boots.]
Another one came out!
Suppressing his inner elation, Chen You quickly glanced at the blueprints and, after confirming that they were parts of a cultivator's set, he chose to exit the dungeon without hesitation.
Don't wait until it's forcibly shut down and then something goes wrong, swallowing up the blueprints you've already got!
……
Thousand Light City, next to the event NPC.
Chen You's figure appeared out of thin air.
He was about to open his backpack to check if the blueprints he had just received were still there when he was filled with a noisy clamor.
"Damn it! Watch your mouth!"
"You can insult me, but you can't insult Boss Chen You!"
"Jingle bells—"
The sounds of clashing weapons and exploding spells mingled together, sparks flying everywhere.
Chen You looked in the direction of the sound and was completely stunned.
Not far ahead, in an open space, two groups of people were fighting fiercely.
More accurately, it was a large group of people who were brutally beating three or five people.
The players surrounded in the middle were clearly well-equipped, but they couldn't withstand the large number of people outside.
Various flashes of swords, ice, and flames were rained down on them as if they were free.
However, those people were clearly still rational, controlling their health and not sending the person to their death directly.
But being constantly beaten is worse than being sent away directly!
"A bunch of mad dogs!" roared the soldier being beaten. "Chen You just got lucky! You bunch of sycophants, is it really necessary?"
"Luck? Have you forgotten how Boss Chen You secured benefits for us?" A werewolf warrior slammed his axe into Chen You's shield, sparks flying.
"Exactly! Last time, the big shot even paid to publicly reveal the strategy for the Ten Thousand Fox Cave! Is that a level of understanding you can even comprehend?"
"Sour! It's pure jealousy!"
"I'm going to teach you a lesson today: you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!"
……
As Chen You listened to these conversations, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Wait, what's going on here?
When did I get so many enthusiastic fans?
It's even escalated to the point of arranging fights offline?
The attacking side consisted of players of around level 25 with mediocre equipment. Each player's ID had a variety of guild names attached to it, clearly indicating that they were a hastily assembled "Justice League".
The ones who were ganged up on were actually higher level, close to level 30. The leader of the warriors was named Lei Yan, and he seemed to be a well-known elite player.
At this moment, Lei Yan was frustratingly parrying attacks from all directions, his face turning a deep purplish-red.
He just couldn't stand that guy named Chen You. Why did he get all the good things?
Having just seen the top beings of the three great divine races, I assumed they had suffered a loss at Chen You's hands, and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and started a fight without saying a word.
Reasoning with them won't work, and they can't win a fight either.
It's so frustrating, so incredibly frustrating!
Just as the battle was getting more intense, a sharp-eyed player on the outskirts of the crowd suddenly spotted Chen You, who had just been teleported out.
He was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes and let out a piercing scream.
"Holy crap! It's Boss Chen You!!"
That one sound instantly silenced all other sounds.
The chaotic battlefield instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone froze in place, and thousands of eyes suddenly focused on Chen You.
Awe, fervor, curiosity, fear... a variety of emotions fermented among the crowd.
The werewolf warrior who was just yelling was now barely able to hold onto his axe.
He rushed to Chen You, his face flushed with excitement, like a primary school student meeting his idol.
"B-Boss! You...you've come all this way?"
"These bastards were talking badly about you behind your back, and we couldn't stand it, so...we taught them a lesson for you!"
He pointed at Lei Yan and the others, his face a mixture of self-satisfaction and indignation.
Lei Yan, whom he was pointing at, looked ashen-faced.
It’s over.
The main character has arrived.
Talking badly about someone behind their back and getting caught red-handed is practically a scene of social death.
He could even foresee how this mysterious player, known for his "unbelievably extravagant spending," would mold him.
It seems I'll have to give up this blood today.
Looking at this unexpected scene, Chen You could only think one thing in his mind: a sarcastic remark.
"Holy crap, what kind of situation is this... idols paying the price for fans' actions?"
