Chapter 23 (2/2)

However, it was currently the pioneering stage. The majority of the players only dared to test the Normal level’s waters. Those who dared to enter the Difficult level were considered top-tier players who had absolute faith in their own abilities.

…

Liu Ming’s arrival soon caused quite a commotion.

All of a sudden, whoever thought they were strong immediately surrounded Liu Ming and sent him invitations to form a team with them.

“Big Shot Floating Cloud, please join us. We’re first-tier players. With your strength, the dungeon’s first clear will definitely belong to us.”

“Come on; you guys still have the nerve to call yourselves first-tier players? Big Shot Floating Cloud, we’re willing to give you ten Gold Coins as long as you join our team.”

“Ten Gold Coins? Are you trying to patronize him? Big Shot Floating Cloud, you may have the priority to choose three items unconditionally as long as you join our team.”

…

These players obviously invited Liu Ming to join them because they wanted to clinch the dungeon’s first clear while also increasing their team’s clearance rate.

However, although the players had good ideas, they neglected the fact that Liu Ming did not want to team up with outsiders at all. Putting aside the fact that Liu Ming could not expose his Blessing Of Lady Luck Skill, those players couldn’t be in the same team as him, even if he wanted to party up this time.

The current first-tier players were basically either at Level 10 or Level 11, whereas Liu Ming was at Level 15. He would not join those players unless he had nothing to do. Hence, Liu Ming directly shook his head and said, “I appreciate your kindness, but I’m going to a Level 15 dungeon. You guys can’t enter it now.”

Since Liu Ming had made things clear straightforwardly, those players had to stop pestering him.

Most of the players were fine and continued to tout after returning to their original spot.

Only a few players began making snide remarks after failing to cozy up to Liu Ming.

“What Level 15 dungeon? If he doesn’t want to carry us, he can just say so.”

“Yeah, I think Floating Cloud is just arrogant. He wants to challenge a dungeon of the same level all by himself.”

“I shall wait here and see. If Floating Cloud doesn’t clear the Level 10 dungeon, I’ll host a livestream of me eating poop.”

…

Liu Ming could not be bothered to argue with those players as he simply stepped onto the altar’s Teleportation Portal.

[Adventurer, please select the dungeon that you’d like to enter.]

[Gust Forest (Level 10)]

[Magma Valley (Level 15)]

[Burial Jungle (Level 20)]

…

There were a total of five dungeons in Lotter City. From Level 10 to Level 30, there was one dungeon every five levels. However, Liu Ming could only choose between two dungeons currently, Gust Forest and Magma Valley.

Liu Ming quickly selected his dungeon and its difficulty level. After this, he turned into a ray of blue light and disappeared in plain sight.

Liu Ming’s entry to the dungeon did not affect most of the players much.

Those who were waiting for players to join them continued doing so while others entered their respective dungeons.

However, the petty players from just now decided to be at odds against Liu Ming as they waited right outside the Dungeon Altar to see Liu Ming make a fool of himself.

Their actions soon attracted a wave of players who were watching the fun and enjoying it.

At this moment, Liu Ming had already begun his trip to the dungeon.
