Chapter 301 Empty Eyes

Tu Lan, perched on her shoulder, played a game on her phone. In a moment of quiet reflection, she thought to herself, "I'm embarrassed for you."

Yu Xunge breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you've already blushed for me, then I won't blush anymore, okay?"

Tu Lan's expression twisted slightly: "When we returned to Dragon Island last time, Bei Sui told me privately that I had changed, that I had become someone he didn't recognize. To protect you, I said that I had grown up and matured, and that I hadn't betrayed you."

Yu Xunge: "...Thank you."

Tu Lan put down her phone. The little figure on the screen lay in a pool of blood. She sighed, "Sigh, I should have just confessed. Bei Sui beat me up and said I was possessed by a demon."

Yu Xunge silently took out a cup of milk tea he had bought on the way, inserted a straw, and stuffed it into Tu Lan's hand, begging her to shut up.

After waiting a while, people gradually arrived. Upon seeing Yu Xunge, Su Yitong greeted her with a friendly smile and sat down to her right. What could Yu Xunge do but return the smile?

Liang Yuchuan still maintained her cool and aloof demeanor, with retractable claw blades strapped to her wrists. She was now extremely skilled with her skis, moving faster than most people. With barely any large movements, she gracefully glided to her seat after a few slight twitches.

Her relationship with Su Yitong seemed to have eased a bit, and she even gave the latter a lukewarm nod after entering the conference room.

It's unclear exactly what Liang Pozhou said to Liang Yuchuan. Due to the contract, he couldn't reveal the cooperation between the Liang family and Yu Xunge to anyone, and he also had to restrain the Liang family from harming Yu Xunge. In any case, after Liang Yuchuan sat down to Yu Xunge's left, he gave her a bright smile and waved to her, saying hi.

Damn it, who arranged these god-like positions?!

Yu Xunge stared straight ahead, his eyes glazed over.

Tu Lan: "Open your eyes and look at them! I don't believe your eyes are empty!"

Yu Xunge: "…………Are you sick? My eyes are wide open!"

Bei Sui is right, this child is possessed by something evil.

But compared to Tu Lan, Yu Xunge felt that Su Yitong was more like the one possessed by something evil, because after she sat down, she actually summoned her koala pet, held it in her arms the whole time, and gently patted its bottom, almost singing a nursery rhyme.

This behavior is in stark contrast to the impression Su Yitong gives off...

Yu Xunge was held captive for several seconds by Su Yitong's actions.

While that koala named Green Wine is indeed cute... it doesn't have to be like this! Su Yitong, wake up! Have you been possessed?!

Tu Lan was also drawn to the koala sleeping in Su Yitong's arms.

Yu Xunge used the pocket watch's detection skill to check the koala's divine talent and was a little envious. This pet is really strong!

Even if the racial trait of "sleep" is a major drawback, how long can a person engage in high-intensity combat in a day?!

Take Yu Xunge for example. Even in the most exciting and dangerous moments, Tu Lan's actual combat time was less than 3 hours. The rest of the time, he was just slacking off.

However, she quickly figured out why Su Yitong treated the koala that way; it was most likely to build a bond with it.

Several of Green Wine's divinely bestowed skills require the koala to actively release them. If the relationship is not good, it is entirely possible for the koala to disobey commands. Even if there are certain penalties in the master-servant contract, if the relationship is not good, the koala can pretend to be asleep on weekdays and then force itself into a sleeping state when it is time to fight, which is mainly a passive-aggressive tactic.

In this way, even a contract cannot punish it. The koala just wants to sleep; it can't fight, not because it doesn't want to. What can you do about it?

Any beast that can evolve to the BOSS level is intelligent.

Tulan suddenly stretched out its wings and covered Yu Xunge's eyes: "Is it cute?"

Yu Xunge blinked and turned her head to face the camera: "Not as cute as you."

Tu Lan sneered. Don't think she didn't see the look in Yu Xunge's eyes when he saw the koala...

Su Yitong glanced at Yu Xunge, then picked up the koala and placed it between the two of them: "Do you want to pet it?"

Yu Xunge: "..." We can't do this, we can't do this, this isn't appropriate for us!

A few seconds later...

Yu Xunge: "Oh my god, its fur is so soft!!" So this is what it feels like to touch a koala in the mythical beast version.

It's alright, Yu Xunge. This is all to mislead the enemy. An enemy is an enemy, and a koala is a koala.

As she touched them, she couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. It was good that the koalas weren't sold off by weight by Su Yitong. In fact, Yu Xunge sometimes thought that if Tu Lan had made a contract with Su Yitong in her past life, she might not have suffered so much.

It wasn't that she trusted Su Yitong's character, but rather that she trusted Su Yitong's personality; Su Yitong wouldn't let what belonged to her be treated so undignifiedly.

As such a famous pet, if Tulan belongs to Su Yitong but is reduced to selling her blood to make money, it would be a very shameful act for her.

If the dragon is disobedient, Su Yitong's most likely course of action is to kill Tu Lan and enjoy it for herself, rather than letting everyone enjoy her pet.

If only there were a way to make Yu Xunhuan suffer the same pain that Tu Lan endured in his past life...

Tu Lan: "..." She was furious!! She even started spacing out while touching him!

Tu Lan flew up and headbutted Yu Xunge with a rocket, finally bringing her back to her senses.

At this time, the other teammates also arrived one after another. Zhao Shuying had already walked to the front, and Yu Xunge, who was covering his forehead, quickly hugged Tu Lan and sat down to wait for the meeting to begin.

She had hardly ever attended meetings, but she had heard that meetings were a painful experience. Fortunately, the meeting in Dinghai didn't involve any leaders giving orders, and the only people who would be going into the tower were the ones who participated.

Although there was a think tank and logistics support, the think tank's job was simply to compile their suggestions and write them down in a booklet. The specifics of how to proceed were left to the 10 people who were actually going to carry out the task.

The meeting wasn't long, and Zhao Shuying wasn't one to ramble on. The focus was on the time before entering the tower and the time after reaching the top. No one knew the situation inside the tower yet, so they had to improvise.

"Although it's a consciousness entry, we've received information that equipment bound to the soul can be brought into the tower. Dinghai will prepare the best equipment for us, as well as five equipment binding stones. One stone will be kept to bind the translator, and the other four can be used to bind whatever equipment we want. We'll also be provided with escape and survival skill crystals, as well as items to retrieve the Moon Sand."

"Within 50 meters of the tower's tip, no living being can approach except for those who have climbed the tower. This is our safe zone. Each team will implement its own plan. If it fails, retreat immediately. Everyone is responsible for themselves and their survival is the priority. Don't make useless sacrifices in the heat of the moment. We will try again and again until we succeed. Meanwhile, the others in Dinghai will also look for other ways to solve the problem of unlocking the dungeon's light curtain."

Although Yu Xunge was alone in her team, she still had to memorize the various codes prepared by the Special Affairs Bureau. If she needed to cooperate or seek help after entering the area, she could recognize each other using the codes.

Zhao Shuying asked everyone present to write down their skill requirements. Before the operation, the Special Affairs Bureau would prepare three B-level skills for each person.

That's quite a generous offer... Although she frequently uses A-rank and S-rank skills, B-rank skills are already extremely precious on Earth at this stage.

Even for an organization like Dinghai, it wouldn't be easy to produce so many B-grade skills at once. With seven teams, excluding her, the other six teams each only have nine people. This operation alone would require 163 B-grade skill books.

Yu Xunge didn't stand on ceremony. Everyone was indeed risking their lives for this mission. Although the main goal was to save lives, who knew if they could actually survive?

Even Yu Xunge wasn't sure if he could survive. A group of level 10+ newbies were stealing from Oak Owl's territory. Even if only those who had climbed the tower could enter the top area, they still had to leave the protective barrier after stealing. Could they survive for more than ten seconds?

After pondering for a moment, Yu Xunge wrote down three categories: escape skills (preferably those that can break most binding or imprisonment skills), shield skills, and attack skills whose damage is measured as a percentage of health.

After Zhao Shuying finished writing her own skill wish list, she stood up and collected the wish lists of all her teammates. When she got to Yu Xunge's wish list, she pushed it back: "Change the first and last ones. There is no B-level skill that strong!"

Yu Xunge: "..." If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why are you speaking so loudly...
