Chapter 89: Speedrunning the Tier 1 Dungeon, Mutual Respect, Yu Qianqiu's Judgment, Searching for the Fourth Employee!
Gulu Cave.
It is one of the two Tier 1 dungeons near Ironfang City.
There is also a small town outside the dungeon entrance.
But when Qin Fang arrived, he found that there wasn't a single ghost in sight.
This was not unexpected for Qin Fang.
The situation with Rabbit Ben has already illustrated the problem.
Luffy's declaration of war kept the humans from leaving the city.
However, his own declaration of war... clearly deterred the centaurs from coming out.
He swept through two Centaur-exclusive dungeons yesterday, killing thousands of Centaur professionals... That's clearly enough to make them wary.
"So what's the point? Now everyone's afraid to upgrade..."
Qin Fang shook his head.
"But it's alright, let's break the record."
Although he received a large amount of corporate reputation yesterday... he certainly wouldn't complain about having too much of that.
After all... I used up a lot yesterday.
We made so many pieces of corporate equipment for Qin Xiaoyou, although in the end only a few were actually usable.
Fortunately, the other equipment wasn't a complete waste... We can just give it to them when we recruit more employees or contact Gu Yiyun and Lin Fan later.
Tsk, thinking about it this way, I'm practically a conscientious boss!
Which capitalist cares about their employees as much as I do?
He shook his head and went straight into the Gulu Cave.
...
The monsters in Gulu Cave are a group of goblin-like creatures.
It's full of Tier 1 monsters, which are much stronger than Tier 0 monsters in every aspect.
However, in Qin Fang's eyes, these monsters were all characters who could be killed with a single strike.
They fought their way through and soon encountered the boss.
Its name is General Gulu. It is a giant goblin wearing armor similar to that of the Western Middle Ages. As soon as it saw Qin Fang, it drooled and brandished its big sword, charging towards him.
Qin fired a Flame Dragon Bullet, which directly reduced its health by more than half. The sudden damage clearly stunned it.
The second Flame Dragon Bullet instantly killed him.
There is absolutely no difficulty involved.
Upon closer inspection... it broke the record.
Qin Fang naturally left behind the names 'Paradise' and 'Boss'.
After picking up the items and obtaining the pass to the 'Hard-Difficult Dungeon Cave', I exited.
A glow appeared on the instance, revealing the news of his record-breaking achievement.
But it was quiet outside, not a soul in sight, so there was nothing to marvel at.
Qin Fang was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Shake your head and continue.
The game was difficult, and soon we met the boss again.
The boss in the difficult dungeon was much stronger; Qin Fang used five or six Flame Dragon Bullets to defeat it.
After picking up the item, I found that there was no record-breaking notification.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the panel again... There was no completion prompt at all?
He looked behind the monster, thought for a moment, and continued forward.
Then I discovered that the difficult dungeon had many more monsters.
A large number of giant Gulu monsters appeared.
Qin Fang, out of curiosity, fought his way through the monsters until he finally encountered the second boss.
His name is Commander Gulu.
He killed it just as easily... Its health was much higher than the first boss, but the monsters in the hard mode didn't have high attack power. With the Ice Crystal Mirror, Qin Fang still passed through without taking any damage.
Defeating the second boss broke the record again, as expected.
Qin was released, but then went back to Hell...
Then confirm.
There are three bosses in this Gulu Cave.
One Gollum general, one Gollum commander, and one Gollum priest.
The levels are 10, 20, and 30.
It is divided into Normal, Hard, and Hell difficulty levels.
The difficulty of Hell difficulty levels increases significantly.
The Gulu Priest was a magic-based boss with a lot of control skills, which made Qin Fang a little flustered...
However, in the end, he was still successfully killed by Qin Fang.
After clearing the Hell difficulty, a notification appeared on the panel indicating that Qin Fang had leveled up.
We've reached level 4.
After reaching level 1, the attribute increase remains unchanged, still 20 points for fixed attributes and 20 points for free attributes.
When Qin Fang finally saw the Abyss difficulty level, he smacked his lips and didn't go in.
The difficulty of Tier 1 dungeons far exceeds that of Tier 0 dungeons.
He even went to the interview venue once when he was playing the Tier 0 Abyss... let alone this Tier 1 Abyss dungeon.
With his current stats, it will be extremely difficult for him to clear the game.
Especially that Gulu Priest, with high damage and many control skills...
It's really a headache.
"There are no class-specific bonuses to defense and health, and there are no cleanse or debuff removal skills... It's probably impossible to clear the game now."
Qin Fang's current advantage lies in his explosive attacks.
But frankly, their survival skills are just so-so.
The biggest reason why I can't beat Lelouch is that I have no defensive capabilities... With the buff of absolute damage increase, the opponent can kill me in one hit.
However, he did not have the ability to instantly kill his opponent.
"We still need to hire more employees..."
Qin Fang thought for a moment, then looked at the instance in front of him.
He has now broken all the speedrun records for 'Gulu Cave', all of which are 'Paradise and Boss'.
He also had no urge to continue upgrading here.
"Let's check out another Tier 1 dungeon... I reckon the centaurs won't be coming out today. We'll deal with them tomorrow."
So Qin Fang left Gulu Cave and headed to another Tier 1 dungeon, 'Firefly Forest'.
As expected, the town outside the 'Firefly Forest' was also deserted. Qin Fang went straight inside.
Similar to Gulu Cave, the normal dungeon in Firefly Forest has one boss, the hard dungeon has two bosses, and the hell dungeon has three bosses.
There's not much to say about it. The monsters inside are similar to some wild beasts, and some are quite troublesome. For example, the level 20 boss is a giant spider, over eight meters tall. The giant spider keeps spitting out spider webs from its rear end, and its mouthparts are sharp and constantly wriggling... Just looking at it gave Qin Fang goosebumps.
When it was killed, it splattered green sap all over the ground...
This made Qin Fang decide never to come to the Firefly Forest again.
Anyway, it's all about leveling up... at least the green-skinned monsters in Gulu Cave don't look as disgusting.
After scanning through the records again, Qin Fang realized that a day had passed without him even noticing.
Today is the most peaceful day he has had since his awakening.
He glanced in the direction of Brie City one last time before finally returning to Irontooth City.
...
"One of the assassin brothers went outside to check and said they didn't see any centaurs in the dungeon... Should we go level up?"
"You go if you want, I'm not going. Since the centaurs have declared war, if we don't encounter them, fine, but if we do, we'll die... Let's wait until the situation becomes clearer before making any decisions."
"You're overestimating the centaurs. We're afraid, and the centaurs are obviously afraid too! ... Yesterday, the boss said he was going to start sniping at the centaurs. They're clearly afraid, which is why they don't dare to come out easily!"
"Haha, see? The alien races are not invincible! They fear death just like us!"
"I finally understand how the armistice agreement came about..."
The internet has been buzzing with activity.
When someone goes offline, someone else goes online.
Yesterday's events, in particular, drew the attention of many ordinary people, who flocked to the professional forum, causing its popularity to explode.
"I'm so envious of you professionals... Sigh, we don't even have a chance to participate in these big events; we can only watch from the sidelines..."
"A casual shopper passing by... You masters, if you're bored, why not come to my humble shop and try my cooking? Level 10 chef! The taste will not disappoint you! Address:..."
"The ecological park has cultivated a new type of rice for dungeons. Each grain can increase stamina by 10 points, can be stored for a long time, is easy to use, and tastes sweet. It's truly the best rations for leveling up, killing monsters, and long journeys! If you're interested, please contact 139... Limited quantity, first come, first served!"
"The Iron Teeth Grand Stage awaits you! Non-stop high-energy performances and endless revelry every day! Tickets are only 9.9 silver coins! You read that right, not 999, not 99, just 9.9!..."
"Local meetup, looking forward to meeting you! Sexy secretary, sweet girl, gentle maid... Come and have a sweet encounter! Phone: 139..."
Suddenly, all sorts of random advertisements started popping up.
Qin Fang burst out laughing.
As someone who once came from the lower class, he certainly knew that... there were intelligent people among ordinary people.
And sure enough, they all popped up one by one.
Professionals are always busy leveling up, so they naturally don't have time to waste.
But now, many professionals dare not leave the city, so they naturally have plenty of time.
Professionals are among the wealthiest people in the world...
In fact, these posts are quite popular, with many people saying they want to give them a try.
Especially the last post...
The hype is off the charts.
After watching for a while, Qin Fang randomly selected a lucky audience member.
He is now completely invisible, and the lucky audience member was spinning around looking for his phone, completely dumbfounded.
Qin Fang dialed Yu Qianqiu's number.
"Hello?"
Soon, Yu Qianqiu's clearly tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sister Yu."
Qin Fang spoke, and Yu Qianqiu paused for a moment before laughing, "I knew it was you just by looking at the phone number..."
"You sound tired?"
What do you think?
Yu Qianqiu said weakly, "I haven't slept for two days."
Qin Fang: "...Sorry."
"What's it to you?...Phew...Alright, this little bit of time is nothing to me. So, what's up with contacting me?"
"No, I just wanted to ask about the current situation."
"Nothing unusual. The assassin teams have been deployed and are keeping a close watch. The centaurs also didn't sleep a wink last night... Hmph, we lost quite a few men, but they lost even more. I heard the crying lasted all night..."
Yu Qianqiu said with a cold laugh.
Yesterday marked the complete breakdown of relations with the centaurs, and Qin Fang easily detected the sense of satisfaction in her voice.
Yesterday, Tieya City was draped in white mourning clothes, and flowers commemorating the heroes covered an entire street with more than enough to cover it.
Like the centaurs.
They are also 'human beings', and naturally they also experience grief, sorrow, and fear.
As for Luffy's declaration of war before leaving...
"War is inevitable, but they probably won't take any action in the short term... You need to be careful yourself; if they take any action again, it'll definitely be because they have a plan targeting you."
Yu Qianqiu finally said with certainty.
Qin Fang narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
Then he started to look forward to it.
Having just acquired a new skill, he was quite eager to try it out.
After chatting for a couple more minutes, Qin Fang hung up the phone and went home.
The place was completely empty. Qin Fang was stunned for a moment before finally letting out a soft sigh.
After thinking about it for a while, I went out again.
Perfect timing, since all the professionals are currently staying in the city, let's go out and see if we can find a fourth employee...
"It would be so nice if there was a tank class..."
He was thinking to himself.
