Wu Yong strained to widen his small, barely slit-like eyes, staring at Shen Yi with a look of shock.
"Boss, you can't go back on your word!"
Shen Yi looked completely bewildered.
"Didn't we agree before? I'll take you to find the final boss, and then I'll join your team!"
Shen Yi sighed. "When did I say that?"
"Then I won't take you."
Wu Yong stood still, arms crossed, watching with a look like that of a wronged woman.
Shen Yi's lips twitched slightly. "You don't want to deal with the final boss?"
“I don’t want to,” Wu Yong said matter-of-factly.
Shen Yi was somewhat surprised, "Then why are you taking me to find the final boss?"
"Boss, you don't actually think I want you to take care of the final boss, do you?"
Now it was Wu Yong's turn to be shocked. "What kind of person do you take me for?!"
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment.
Wu Yongfang's words made Shen Yi naturally assume that he wanted to defeat the final boss of the dungeon in order to clear it, which was why he took him to find the final boss.
As for Wu Yong's other ulterior motives, Shen Yi wasn't afraid.
Even if this person wanted to frame him, he was confident he could find a way to deal with it.
Rather, Shen Yi actually hoped for this; it's only when you're on guard against thieves for a thousand days that you feel uncomfortable.
What exactly do you want?
Shen Yi sighed, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out Wu Yong's purpose in approaching him.
Of course, sometimes, not understanding something doesn't mean that a person isn't smart.
Perhaps he's the one who's overcomplicated things.
Wu Yong slid down to his knees and grabbed Shen Yi's leg!
"Boss, please take me in!"
"……Clam?"
"Boss, look at me... I'm just a gunner."
“I am neither from a wealthy family nor do I have a rare profession.”
"The road ahead is going to be so difficult!"
"Boss, you're so amazing, take me on as your underling!"
It took Shen Yi a full two seconds to process those words.
"Boss, you have no idea... my teammates look down on me because I'm a Gunner, they're always mocking me! I'm having such a hard time!"
"When I was little, my mom said I looked too soft and that I was destined to be bullied. I didn't believe her at first, but after I changed jobs..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Shen Yi suppressed the urge to hit someone.
Wu Yong looked up at Shen Yi with hopeful eyes, "Boss, you're willing to take me in?"
"Make it clear beforehand, I will never have such a thought."
Seeing Wu Yong put on that resentful expression again, Shen Yi took a deep breath and said, "However, I can make a deal with you."
"If you take me to the final boss, I promise I won't kick you out for the duration of this dungeon."
Wu Yong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Yi and said, "That works too!"
"Don't worry, boss, I'm confident I can make you look at me in a new light. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west; if you tell me to beat a dog, I'll never chase a chicken!"
Wu Yong chuckled, "Boss, you can rest assured!"
"oh?"
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes. "In that case, I'd like to ask you a few questions."
The Skeleton Demon Swordsman's sword was instantly pressed against Wu Yong's neck!
The blade was only an inch away from Wu Yong's thick, white neck.
Wu Yong was so frightened that his face turned ashen and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
"Boss... what... what is this all about?"
Shen Yi remained calm and asked:
"How do you know I'm going to find the final boss? And how can you be so sure I don't know where the final boss is?"
Wu Yong subconsciously swallowed. "I guessed."
“Boss, since you know [Corpse Manipulation], you must have already reached level 10.”
"You definitely wouldn't be interested in a dungeon of this level, boss."
"So I think that after killing this boss-level monster, the next target should be the final boss."
"Am I right...?" Wu Yong asked, glancing at Shen Yi every now and then.
The logic isn't complicated, but you need a bit of brains to deduce it.
Moreover, Shen Yi realized that Wu Yong was obviously quite familiar with the necromancer class, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to tell that Wu Yong had reached level 10.
Shen Yi nodded. "Continue, next question."
"As for why I know where the final boss is, that's even simpler."
"The final boss of the dungeon has been triggered, and nearly half of the top players in the entire school alliance have already headed there."
"Jiangdong All-School Alliance, huh? I'm not bragging, but I know all the rare professions by heart. Boss, you're obviously not a member of Jiangdong All-School Alliance."
"At a time like this, if someone is still lingering in the Ghostly Forest, they probably don't know where the final boss is."
Shen Yi nodded slightly, showing a growing interest in the fat man who had suddenly come to his door.
Wu Yong's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said earnestly, "Boss, I know what your concerns are."
"If it were me, and a stranger suddenly appeared and said they wanted to come and join me, I would also think twice, wondering if they wanted to harm me."
"Boss, let me tell you something."
Wu Yong sat down on the ground and spread his hands.
"I've really come here to rely on you, boss."
“Look at me, Gunner, I don’t have any resources.”
"I want to make something of myself, I want to get into a prestigious university, I want to become a high-level professional, and I even want to be a member of a legendary team."
Shen Yi calmly said, "Then you should go find that Sun Jitian."
"Tch!" Wu Yong scoffed. "Him? He's really no good."
"So you came to me?" Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "You think a necromancer like me has more potential than a [Doom Slayer]?"
"I'm not bragging, but I'm really good at judging people, even if I'm not good at other things." Wu Yong chuckled. "I knew you had a bright future the moment I saw you, boss."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "Then you can come with me. Even if I let you join my team, the most I can do is keep you alive."
Wu Yong shook his head. "It's different."
"Boss, you are destined to be extraordinary."
"If I follow you, firstly, I can definitely save my life."
"Secondly, if I can keep up with your pace, I will definitely gain much more than I would elsewhere. Even if I don't become a legend, I can still become someone who is close to a legend."
Very sincere, and very realistic.
Even if Wu Yong was lying to himself, there was at least 70% truth in what he said.
“Because you’re not that kind of person, boss.” Wu Yong chuckled. “Otherwise, you would have chopped me up with a knife long ago.”
"So you were testing me before." Shen Yi was both annoyed and amused. "I've wanted to chop you up many times because of your foul mouth."
Wu Yong's eyes lit up.
"Boss, so does that mean you're willing to take me in?"
At that moment, Shen Yi and Wu Yong's expressions changed simultaneously!
Boom!
The massive tremor caused the skeleton minions to lose their balance.
Calmly and steadily maintain your posture.
The next second, he leaped up.
"Snap!!!"
The ground beneath his feet was cracked.
From the cracks in the earth, a jet of dark green liquid shot into the sky!
