Chapter 1036: Three Dungeons! Special Boss Spawn
Asude, Level 276, class: [Heavenly Void: Gunslinger].
Sangui, Level 270, class: [Heavenly Void: Warrior].
Arya, Level 272, class: [Heavenly Void: Priest].
And the Fire Fox girl, Kuna, Level 280, class: [Heavenly Void: Mage].
These four teenagers together already formed a standard dungeon-running team.
At only Level 210, Ling Zhan did indeed look like a burden to the team.
So it wasn't surprising that Asude would say that.
As Sangui, who followed Asude, glanced at Ling Zhan and bluntly said, "You're low-level, so just stay in the team and slack off quietly. Do whatever we tell you. Be obedient, or if you get surrounded by monsters, don't expect me to help."
The girl named Arya didn't say anything, just smiled sweetly.
When Kuna saw her invited teammate being isolated, her expression darkened as she squinted and said, "Didn't I already tell you? This person is my friend. If you're not willing to bring him along, then we can disband the team right now."
"Do you think I'm short on teammates?"
As Kuna finished speaking,
Asude and Sangui exchanged an awkward glance.
Hmm...
Kuna wasn't wrong.
As the mayor's daughter, there were plenty of Professionals happy to team up with her.
The reason she called these three peers was because they had run dungeons together before, and were used to working as a team.
Plus, the four of them had graduated from the same school in the town and would probably go on to attend high school in a major city together.
Seeing that Kuna had spoken, Asude and Sangui didn't continue targeting Ling Zhan.
Ling Zhan's expression remained calm, unchanged.
Back in the Lower Realm, he had endured countless mockeries and insults.
Even then, he had felt no emotional ripple, let alone now.
And frankly, Ling Zhan couldn't be bothered to explain anything to these teenage brats.
At this moment,
The team entered Helen Town's Secret Realm Hall.
Ten dungeons were open in Helen Town today.
Of them, three were suitable for Level 200-300 players.
The first was 『Fallen Angel Ruins』, a 5-star Gold-level dungeon.
The second was 『Dark Valley』, a 9-star Silver-level dungeon.
The third was 『Desolation Swamp』, also 9-star Silver-level.
Don't be fooled by the Gold and Silver ratings—they weren't easy.
Dungeon difficulty in the Upper Realm was entirely different from that in the Lower Realm.
And monster levels differed too.
These dungeons covered a wide range of 100 levels, meaning their difficulty varied wildly.
Based on their rank, the strength of the monsters inside also fluctuated.
At that moment,
As Kuna, Sangui, Asude and the others walked into the Secret Realm Hall,
All the Professionals inside turned to look at them, their eyes filled with awe.
The reason was simple...
Kuna was the mayor's daughter.
Asude, Sangui, and Arya were all from famous noble families in town.
And most importantly, they were top prodigies of the town.
The so-called "golden children everyone talks about."
So even Professionals above Level 300 didn't dare to show disrespect to them.
"Miss Kuna, you've arrived. The three dungeons you reserved have been arranged."
"Do you require a [Party Supporter]?"
A staff member from the Secret Realm Hall approached obsequiously.
"No need."
Kuna shook her head confidently.
If they needed a [Party Supporter] for dungeons of this difficulty, wouldn't that make them total scrubs?
The concept of [Party Supporter] was unique to Upper Realm dungeons.
It allowed a team to bring in one over-leveled player as a support.
Some high-difficulty dungeons allowed the supporter to attack once.
But most dungeons didn't permit them to attack, only to intervene up to three times, with each intervention lasting ten seconds.
And those interventions could only be for saving party members, not attacking dungeon monsters.
"Miss Kuna, you should bring one anyway."
"There's a high chance a special BOSS will spawn in 『Fallen Angel Ruins』 today."
"That BOSS is very difficult..."
The staff member patiently advised.
He had worked here for many years and knew exactly which dungeons could spawn what special bosses, how powerful they were, and how low the clear rate was.
Moreover...
『Fallen Angel Ruins』 was a fan-favorite among Professionals.
Even Level 300 players loved running it, since they could get valuable materials, gear, and items.
But if the special BOSS spawned, no one wanted to enter that day.
Otherwise, how do you think Miss Kuna even managed to reserve it?
Though Kuna was the mayor's daughter and held a high status, if she tried to cut the line, even legal citizens would protest and report it to the mayor.
The mayor might not blame his daughter, but this staff member would take the fall.
He'd be fired as a form of apology to the legal citizens.
As long as you were a legal citizen, you didn't need to worry about safety in the safe zone.
Nor about being oppressed by authority.
Even the mayor didn't have the right to expel a legal citizen from the safe zone.
Ling Zhan had been expelled only because he lacked an identity pass. As a newly ascended, he was considered a vagrant.
So...
Even Miss Kuna had to wait in line for popular dungeons.
The reason those Level 300 folks didn't book today was not because they feared the little Fire Fox.
They feared the special BOSS in that dungeon.
That thing was seriously hard to kill.
Thick HP, high defense, strong attacks, fast movement, and disgusting mechanics.
To protect their lives, they chose to skip it today.
"Enough! Are you done? I said no need!"
"We can handle this dungeon just fine!"
Kuna frowned and stared at the staff member.
He could only give a bitter smile.
The mayor's daughter was truly proud and cared too much about her image.
"Very well! The dungeon is now ready for entry."
"You may enter anytime!"
The staff member wasn't foolish enough to defy or offend the mayor's daughter in public.
Instead, he waited for her to enter the dungeon before going to call the mayor.
