Chapter 20 (1/2)

Sparkling golden light

That afternoon, Zhou Jian didn’t return to Huadu. He called Xiao Yin and Mule to inform them that he was staying directly at Pengcheng. He went and arranged for a visa to Hong Kong.

In the last century, if he wanted to travel to Hong Kong, he would need to do N visa procedures. But after the catastrophe, for a university student, as long as he could show the student ID, then he could arrange for the visa but he would need to pay 100 yuan for handling fees.

Zhou Jian bought his identification ID and student ID along. He went through the procedures in the afternoon. At 5 o’clock in the evening, Zhou Jian returned to the hotel and put on the game helmet. He’d promised Susan to challenge the new dungeon tonight. Susan proposed to give him 50k gold but Zhou Jian didn’t want it. His only requirement was that along the way while challenging the new dungeon, he wanted to gain as much experience as possible. For this, Susan readily agreed. After all, for them, the experience was also very lucrative.

Zhou Jian’d gotten online and then immediately received a call from Susan. “Haha, Mr. Dark Sword. I didn’t see you the whole afternoon. I thought you were going to retract from the engagement.”

Zhou Jian said with a smile: “How can it be. Last time was just an accident. Where are you all now?”

“In Nuwa city, I didn’t dared to ask them to a.s.semble. Otherwise, once everyone gathered but you aren’t here, I’ll be too embarra.s.sed.”

“Miss please be a.s.sured. You can a.s.semble them. I’ll be there immediately.”

Susan’s guild name was Gusu s.h.i.+Jia. (tl: s.h.i.+Jia = Aristocratic family. I’ll continue with s.h.i.+Jia) It’s listed as the third ranked guild in Nuwa city. Although its strength was slightly weaker compared to Tianzun, but it was more than enough to a.s.semble 14 people fully equipped in purple equipments.

Shortly after Zhou Jian arrived in Nuwa city, the raiding squad of the Gusu s.h.i.+Jia fully arrived. Their levels are between 33 to 35. Zhou Jian didn’t expected was that Susan was the Gusu team captain. He thought that the girl playing the game wasn’t too sharp. But he looked at Susan’s equipments and had to revise his view.

Susan, level 35 female warrior. On her body was a set of Legendary warrior armor. She’s missing a pair of ring and a necklace to complete it. But her current rings were pretty good. The first was the soul ring awarded when being the top 100 to reach level 20 in the region. The other was obtained from an advance equipment mission. As for Susan’s necklace, although it was only an ordinary purple type, it was actually a level 40  equipment. Susan’s level was still insufficient. So, she had to embed Agate stones to reduce the level requirement just to bring it out.

The agate stones could be worth a fortune. Zhou Jian sighed. There’s so much rich people in this world.

Aside from Susan, the team also had a Guardian, four Mages, five Clerics, one Thief, one Hunter and one Archer.

The equipments of these people were very good. Most of the time, the worst was purple set. And they generally, had a few orange Legendary equipments.

Zhou Jian was very satisfied with this. The strength of this team, if compared to the Tianzun team, there wasn’t much difference.

Furthermore, the majority are Mages. With Mages, the leveling speed was the fastest.

Susan introduced Zhou Jian to everybody. His presence was already known to everyone. Although these rich kids still looked down upon Zhou Jian and thought that Zhou Jian was just lucky, they didn’t display any displeasure with Zhou Jian on the surface.

Zhou Jian also didn’t want to connect much with these type of people. So, he didn’t talked much nonsense with them and the team directly head towards the Demon’s Nest.

In these 15 team members, most of them are the first time entering the Demon’s Nest. They saw the eerie cave entrance, and heard the gloomy howl of the wind. Yet, most of them are not feeling frightened, but excited.

Shortly after entering the cave, a team of h.e.l.lhounds came rus.h.i.+ng to them. This type of h.e.l.lhounds health is small but attack power is high. The experience value gained from this isn’t small. It’s the ideal monster to train the level. During the last time Zhou Jian followed the Tianzun team, in order to catch up for time, a group of Thieves was responsible to open the path followed by the larger forces. Once the monsters were killed under stealth, they would return back to the team. Such speed naturally wasted a large amount of experience, letting Zhou Jian felt envious.

“Guardians propped up the s.h.i.+eld. Mages proceed with group attack.” Susan ordered. This was usually the routine for the team when going out leveling.

The four Mages calmly read their spells. Suddenly, fiery meteor shower poured down coupled with snowstorm right towards the group of monsters. In 《G.o.ds and Demons》, Mages are divided into three lines – lightning, fire and ice. The players had no choice in this but it was selected when they first registered for their accounts. The system would  determined the lines based on the overall quality of the player. Most of the Mages are fire and ice Mages. Lightning line is quite rare.

In this team, there are only fire and ice Mages. The group of h.e.l.lhounds was. .h.i.t under two fold attacks of fire and ice. Before long, they all died.

Zhou Jian didn’t need to do anything. He could eat snacks while watching his experience bar kept on rising. This was really refres.h.i.+ng.

In order to proceed all the way through, the Gusu team bought enough supplies. The Guardians, who had large physical strength, carried heavy loads of potions. The others also bought as many as they could. Their bags are all full.

After more than 30 h.e.l.lhounds died, they only dropped some sporadic burst of gold and a few small equipments. Even Zhou Jian wasn’t bothered to pick them up. Those rich kids were even more disinclined to even see at all. The team continued forward.
