Chapter 8 Clingy Wolf (1/2)
Chapter 8 Clingy Wolf
Ye Ci chose to hide her ID as usual.
Just then, a golden word ‘World’ flashed across the screen.
“Congratulations player **** for being the first to complete the dungeon “Icy Cave” on Normal mode, Rewards: 10 gold coins, system prestige 5000 points.”
……
“Are they even human!? The game has only just started and someone already cleared the dungeon! What the hell?!”
“Must be an alpha tester!”
“Alpha Tester my ass! Fate never had an alpha release…”
……
A random Human player
“Boss, should we investigate…?”
“It must have been those group of people who entered first. It’s just a normal dungeon. There’s no need to muster a large force over something like this. Just look for someone to keep an eye out on the situation,” a human cleric calmly replied in the private chat after killing off the last monster.
A random Orc player.
“Little Seventh, go check who cleared the dungeon.” An orc warrior announced his order through the private chat.
……
Lukewarm Water, who had just ran into the Lycan Black Forest, heard the system announcement and scratched his head. “To think someone has already cleared the normal dungeon… Just who is it?” Then realisation suddenly hit him.
The Icy Cave seemed to be within the Elven Forest. If his source was reliable, it should be around the place where he and that Gongzi You had met.
Could it be that…..
Lukewarm Water shook his head, then reconsidered inwardly. “Even if her skills are great and her positioning was good, there’s no way she could have cleared the dungeon so fast. Moreover… the system didn’t announce that it was a party, so it seems like it was cleared by a solo player. Moreover, she is a huntress… That shouldn’t be possible.”
Just as he was grasping onto the situation, the external guilds were getting noisy in the voice chats all because of this incident.
Since the game server was just opened, there weren’t any guilds created yet, therefore no one was able to use the guild voice chat provided in the game. Due to that, the major guilds were all using an external voice chat system for easy communication with their guild members.
Lukewarm listened to the animated chat within the guild. He had some hunches, but since he wasn’t too sure about himself, he’d rather remain silent instead of bringing it up to the guild.
In contrast to the liveliness of his guild, the guildmaster of Blank Space spoke calmly as he usually did. “If you guys have time to discuss this, why don’t you all quickly grind to raise your levels? It’s just a dungeon on normal mode. Our target is to conquer the dungeons on Hard and Expert mode.”
As a person who rarely spoke in public channel, his single statement immediately garnered the support from all of the players. After chatting for awhile, he switched into the Management channel. “Nine Nights, go investigate the person who cleared the dungeon. Don’t forget to identify which guild he is from.”
“Roger.”
Ye Ci, who had been in the Icy Cave the whole time, had no idea how much of an uproar a single system announcement message had caused in the entire Fate. She just knitted her eyebrows together, studying the few items in her hands.
She had thought that being able to get her hands on a heaven-defying passive skill book like the Strength Conservation would have allowed her to be on the road of fortune. However, reality had proven that an unlucky person like her would not escape the clutches of bad luck so easily.
Other than dropping the 2 quest items that she needed, along with 3 Weapon Exchange Crystals, she only received 2 bottles of medium health potions, 40 silver coins, and a White grade dagger from the 3 BOSSes!!
What the hell!?
What in bloody hell was that!?
She got the First Kill! And she did it SOLO!
No matter how you saw it, a Blue grade weapon should most likely be dropped instead!
How did it turn out like this! Not only was there no Blue grade weapon, there wasn’t even a Green grade weapon in sight!
Who had ever heard of a Boss dropping a White grade weapon!? Who?! This basically just broke the history record among all the disgraces a game could have.
She sighed a few times before accepting her fate and dumping these items into her bag. As Ye Ci wearily looked at all the rubbish she had picked up from the dead bodies along the way, she only felt like crying a stream of tears.
Exiting the Icy Cave dejectedly, she cleared the contents of her bag at a shop just outside of the Forest of Stone. After that, Ye Ci once again marched valiantly into the Icy Cave.
She believed that she’d eventually get something nice if she kept trying. After all, there was no way she’d be so unlucky every single time.
Nevertheless, reality had proven time and time again that Ye Ci’s luck was just that bad.
She repetitively visited the Icy Cave about 7 or 8 times. The crystals used for weapon exchange had been accumulated to almost 30, yet she still didn’t manage to get even one of the Icy Cave’s signature weapon from the Icy Series on her hands.
Her experience points were instead going up rapidly and, in the blink of an eye, she was nearly level 8.
Ye Ci sat beside Shator’s dead body, crying invisible tears and looking at the loot in her hands.
