Chapter 118 Elite Dungeon, Encountering Gray Memories Again
While everyone was discussing how strong Shen Jue's stats were, Shen Jue was still in the boss dungeon, which couldn't be exited automatically, just like an elite dungeon.
Shen Jue guessed that she might appear directly in the elite dungeon later.
The game system assigns stat points in real-time, and she's currently looking at her newly updated panel.
Attribute cap 120 (additional 40, remaining 36.8)
Mental strength: 111
Physical strength: 112
Endurance: 110
Physical fitness: 118
Strength: 110
Speed: 112 + 11.2 (Frost Armor bonus)
Luck: 92
Her panel is about to take off.
Looking at the rankings, I can see that my strength still firmly puts me at the top.
If all goes well, once she clears the elite dungeon, she should be able to receive the third reward from the top of the leaderboard.
The previous two top-ranked players received 5,000 wood, 5,000 stones, and some purple equipment.
She put the purple equipment up for sale in the shop and got some gold crystals in return.
As the development zone upgrades, the need for auxiliary materials like gold crystals increases.
As players acquire more Island Landing Tokens, harvesting Gold Crystals on the island becomes extremely convenient.
Many players collect gold crystals, or the same materials as gold crystals, to exchange for the weapons and blueprints they need.
The countdown to leaving the instance has ten seconds remaining.
Nineteen, eighteen, seven... one.
As the countdown in her mind reached one, Shen Jue was completely removed from the instance.
She did not return to the raft, but instead, as she had anticipated, went directly into the elite instance.
To date, no player has yet cleared the elite dungeon.
This means she still has a chance to get the first-clear bonus.
The mission-based dungeon is finally here!
Compared to the dreamy purple forest, the blue forest seems somewhat mysterious.
Where are the NPCs in the quest instance?
Let her sense it and look for it.
Through mental perception, I sensed some movement 100 meters in front of her to the left.
It feels like wearing speed boots and an ice armor.
She has now reached her fastest speed ever.
The 100-meter distance was covered in seconds, and upon closer inspection, the noise they had heard earlier had not yet disappeared.
The commotion was caused by a gray wolf; the NPC was crashing into a tree.
Shen Jue looked so familiar, as if I'd seen him somewhere before?
Shen Jue wasn't sure if this wolf was the one she knew.
When the wolf turned around, Shen Jue saw a tuft of white fur on its head.
Very good, it's confirmed, it's the King-level Wolf she knows, Gray Memory.
"Grey Memory, what are you doing?"
The sudden sound made Gray Memory, who was crashing into a tree, tremble.
What happened?
Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Huiyi turned around and met Shen Jue's gaze.
Oh no, it's that big demon king again. How can his luck be so bad? He even runs into her in an elite dungeon?
This doesn't make sense! Did this player install a tracking card on him?
Otherwise, how come I always run into him every time I enter a dungeon?
This is absolutely outrageous.
Faced with the Great Demon King's questioning, Huiyi, not wanting to get beaten up, honestly answered.
"I didn't do anything. My head was just a little itchy, so I bumped my head against a tree to relieve the itch."
"Oh, really?"
"Of course, you've been to the elite dungeon before, right? I can take you to the key creature for the first quest."
"Why are you suddenly being so nice? Is this a trap?"
Huiyi rolled her eyes. "What are you thinking? What good would it do me to lie to you?"
"Who knows? Maybe you NPCs are just targeting us players."
Although Shen Jue promised Hui Yi that she wouldn't hit him if they met again, she didn't promise not to threaten him.
Using the word "threat" is a bit impolite.
A friendly collaboration is more suitable for her relationship with Gray Memory.
Huiyi knew very well that even if his strength improved in the elite dungeon, he still couldn't defeat the great demon king in front of him.
You have to be timid when you need to be.
"No, I would never do such a thing. I am the last of the King-level Wolves, and my words always carry weight."
"Alright, then so be it. Since you know the way, then lead the way."
One man and one wolf, each with their own thoughts, embark on their journey.
Huiyi walked ahead, wondering if the game system would kick him out of the elite dungeon if he didn't perform well this time.
That way, I won't run into Shen Jue.
Shen Jue was also wondering why she encountered this wolf every time she entered the dungeon. Could there be some trick to it? Could it be that the game system was manipulating things behind the scenes?
But this wolf always looked very surprised whenever it saw her.
It doesn't look like it was planned in advance.
Shen Jue attributed her encounter with Huiyi to a matter of chance.
Throughout the journey, Shen Jue kept observing the surrounding environment.
Then she realized that Huiyi had been leading her in circles.
"You think I'm easy to fool?" Shen Jue held the knife to Hui Yi's neck.
Huiyi, who was walking in front, immediately stopped. "Let's talk this out. Please don't use knives."
"But you've led me around in circles in this forest, how am I supposed to talk to you properly?"
"Now that things have come to this, I have to tell the truth. I'm not very familiar with this newly upgraded forest route. My old friends may not be in the same places anymore, which means I may be lost."
Seeing that Shen Jue had already discovered that he was going in circles, Hui Yi stopped hiding it and told the truth.
Shen Jue felt that Huiyi was a bit of a novice. She was already an NPC in an elite dungeon, so how come she still didn't know the way?
It seems we can't count on that wolf anymore; we'll have to rely on her.
"Follow me, I'll take you through this map this time, so you'll get used to the route. Then we can come back together, and you won't be so bad at directions anymore."
Gray Memory: Thank you so much! You actually tried to teach a directionally challenged person how to find their way.
Shen Jue didn't think Hui Yi was directionally challenged; she thought Hui Yi was just lazy and didn't want to learn the way.
If you keep running around, you'll eventually remember it.
