Zhuang Li retracted his wrist, stared at the data on the task manager, and sneered softly.
"Very good, this comprehensive assessment is very objective." He tried to act calm, but he unconsciously clenched his teeth while speaking.
7480 complained: "You are anxious, you are anxious!"
Zhuang Li: "..."
Zi Wei was more anxious than anyone else. He wiped his face and said seriously, "Zhuang Li, what I'm saying now is very important. You must listen carefully. When we entered the game world, you invited me and asked if I wanted to join you. I agreed, so the system automatically bound us as teammates. Of course, this teammate relationship is limited to this mission, and the difficulty of the mission world will be determined by the highest-level person in the team."
He showed Zhuang Li his task manager and pointed to his level. "I'm an A-level player," he said. "That means the game world we're about to enter is an A-level world. This will be too difficult for you. You must stay close to me at all times. Do you understand? I'll do my best to protect you, but I can't guarantee I can bring you back to the surface world safely. I'll try my best to survive, and you have to do the same."
He stared into Zhuang Li's eyes, a look of helplessness and sadness appearing on his face.
Zhuang Li: "..." Am I considered a huge burden by this person?
7480: "Be more confident and remove the "yes"."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Zhuang Li secretly took a deep breath for a while, then replied calmly.
"Are we the only two entering the mission world?" he asked curiously.
"No, there will be some randomly assigned players or taskers. Of course, we can also find a few familiar players to form a team." Zi Wei turned on the communicator, ready to call his fellow Dragon Team members. He was worried that he couldn't carry this heavy burden alone.
When Zi Wei mentioned the taskers, his eyes glared and he immediately warned, "I forgot to tell you that besides us natives, there are also some outsiders from other dimensions who come to this world. We call these outsiders taskers. Taskers are easy to spot; they are generally arrogant, conceited, and cold-blooded. They never treat us players as human beings."
"When you enter the same world with them to quest, don't believe a word they say. They love to use players as bait to hunt ghosts, and they will also use players as cannon fodder. They will even kill everyone in the team if they get angry, so that they can continue to play the game themselves. If you see them, you must stay away from them."
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there not a single good person among the taskers?"
Zi Wei was stunned, a look of reminiscence in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Yes, but very few. The strongest quester was a good person, and so were his companions. He never killed players and even protected us. I was saved by him a few times, and I was really lucky at the time. But he was too powerful, and he quickly broke through every game world and was taken to the divine realm by the main god."
Zi Wei looked up at the sky, sighing continuously, with a look of deep admiration and nostalgia on his face.
Zhuang Li knew without asking that the person he was talking about must be Ming.
At this moment, Xuan Ming's voice came from Zhuang Li's mind again: "I'm in the surface world. Where are you? Send me your location immediately."
Zhuang Li, who entered the inner world without permission to play: "..."
He looked at Zi Wei and asked, "Is it too late for me to quit the game now?"
Zi Wei thought he was scared and shook his head regretfully: "It's too late. Once you start a mission, you absolutely cannot quit."
Zhuang Li closed his eyes, unsure how to explain this to Xuan Ming. However, Xuan Ming sneered, "Have you already entered the other world and started the game? Are you thinking of having some fun while I'm gone? Are you trying to take advantage of the time difference with me and let loose?"
When it comes to trying to figure out the little devil's thoughts, he's always right.
Zhuang Li: "..."
Xuan Ming: "Silence means consent."
Zhuang Li: "..."
Xuan Ming: "Wait, I'll be there soon. You can count down to three seconds." Then his avatar went off again.
Zhuang Li couldn't help but shiver.
7480: "Hahahahahahahahahaha..."
Zi Wei contacted several teammates and received their affirmative responses. Then he looked at the pale-faced Zhuang Li and said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid. I called my companions over. They are all very strong."
Zhuang Li stretched his lips and asked, "Can I also bring a few teammates?"
Zi Wei asked in surprise, "Who are you going to recruit? Aren't you a new player?"
"I'll get some experts over here." Just as Zhuang Li finished speaking, a beam of light appeared in the square. Three tall figures appeared in the beam of light, attracting many people's attention.
Only SSS-level taskers could trigger this kind of light column, and they were the kings of this world. So everyone in the square looked towards the light column, straining their eyes to see the three people clearly.
When the dazzling golden light faded, the three men took a step forward, their sharp eyes like hawks scanning everyone's face. The strong murderous aura that could only be accumulated after experiencing bloody killings swept through the entire place like a storm.
The light gray mist that always lingered above the square seemed to be dispersed a little by their powerful aura.
Someone recognized the tallest and most handsome man and couldn't help but cover their mouths and scream, "It's Xuan Ming! Why is he back?"
Then everyone gasped.
Zi Wei's eyes widened, his breathing became heavier, and his face flushed crimson. Unable to resist, he took a few steps forward, his voice trembling with excitement. "Your luck is incredible! See? That's the tasker I just told you about, the one with the strongest power yet who never kills innocent people! His name is Xuan Ming! He's a legend in this terrifying world!"
Zhuang Li also took a few steps forward and asked with interest, "If we invite him to join us on the mission, wouldn't the success rate be 100%?"
"Are you dreaming? He never teams up with ordinary players. He only does missions with his teammates. Ordinary people can only meet him through random selection by the system. Back then, I was lucky enough to be selected for the same mission as him, and he saved me three times. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago!" Zi Wei's eyes became red as he spoke. He wanted to step forward and say thank you, but he didn't have the courage.
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "How do you know he's unwilling to team up with us if you don't try?"
"There are so many players who want to invite him to form a team. Someone has tried it before!" Before Zi Wei finished speaking, he saw the charlatan slowly walking towards Xuanming.
He was startled and hurried to catch up.
"Hello, I heard that you are a legend in this world and the most powerful tasker? Can you take me with you?" Zhuang Li walked to Xuan Ming and started chatting with him as if he didn't know him.
Xuan Ming could tell at a glance that the little devil was playing games with him again.
He gritted his teeth, wanting to get angry, but facing that beautiful face smiling like a flower, he couldn't get angry. He also pretended not to know this person, raised his chin, and asked, "What's the benefit for me to take you with me?"
His two teammates looked at him with strange eyes.
The captain who never brings ordinary players has changed his ways today? Doesn't he usually refuse them the moment he opens his mouth?
Just as Zhuang Li was about to speak, Xuan Ming pulled his wrist, looked at his task manager, and raised his eyebrows.
It also showed a series of -5s, which was quite impressive.
Two teammates: "Poof!"
They quickly shut their mouths and apologized, "Sorry, we've been professionally trained and generally don't laugh unless we can't help it."
The words weren't particularly hurtful, but they were extremely insulting. Zi Wei, who had caught up with him, couldn't help but blush for Zhuang Li.
The corners of Xuanming's mouth were twitching suspiciously.
Zhuang Li grabbed his palm with his backhand, gently scratched the palm with his fingertips, and wrote stroke by stroke: [Dare to laugh, you will die.]
Xuan Ming's twitching mouth suddenly straightened, and he said calmly, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't take care of you like this."
Zhuang Li: "..."
7480 immediately rolled on the ground laughing: "Hahahahahahahahahaha..."
Zi Wei: "..." It's over! Even the God of Hell said that he couldn't carry the charlatan. This time, he would definitely be killed by this huge burden!
Zhuang Li held Xuan Ming's big hand tightly and chuckled, "Please take me with you. As long as you are willing to take me with you, you can ask me to do anything later." After saying that, he raised the corners of his crimson lips, revealing a meaningful smile, and the corners of his narrow eyes swept over like hooks.
Anyone could hear the implication in his words.
Before Xuan Ming could even speak, his two teammates berated him, "Show some respect! Our captain already has a wife!"
"Oh? Who is your wife? Is she as pretty as me?" Zhuang Li raised his face and looked at Xuan Ming intently, his dark eyes filled with gentle affection and a hint of ambiguous entanglement.
Xuan Ming couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled the little devil into his arms. He put one arm around his slender waist and gently spanked his butt with the other. His voice sounded very angry, yet with a hint of helplessness: "I told you not to be honest! I told you to secretly run away and take risks without telling me! I told you to lie to me!"
Every time he spoke, he slapped the little devil on the butt. Then, fearing that he had not used enough strength and hurt the other party, he rubbed the butt.
This kind of intimate gesture, doting tone, and gentle compromise that is helpless but completely unable to deal with the other party is an atmosphere that only exists between lovers.
Zi Wei and his two teammates were stunned.
The surrounding players and taskers were also shocked.
Shit, has the underworld finally descended? Who on earth is that person in his arms? How could he possibly give him that "I'm afraid of you" expression?
After spanking, Xuan Ming kissed the little devil hard twice, then hugged the man tightly, turned to his two teammates, and said, "Let me introduce you, she is your sister-in-law."
Zhuang Li waved and greeted with a smile.
The two teammates were stunned.
Zi Wei: "..." Where am I? Who am I? What am I doing?
Zhuang Li pointed at him and introduced him, "This is my teammate Hedgehog. We're waiting to enter the mission world. Would you like to join us?"
"Come." Xuan Ming immediately clicked the team formation button, and his two teammates hurriedly followed.
Zi Wei's expression cracked again. It suddenly occurred to him that once Xuan Ming joined, the original A-level world would suddenly become an SSS-level world! He and his companions had never played a dungeon of this difficulty before!
It's over! It's really over this time!
Zhuang Li, a weakling in combat, actually hid such a crucial piece of information. He even secretly hid a humanoid cheat! No wonder Xuan Ming, who had already gone to the divine realm, suddenly returned to continue participating in this utterly boring game for him!
