I Didn't Need You to Be This Competent!

The regional channel fell silent for two seconds. Then, as if a hornet's nest had been poked, it erupted into chaos!

“6 minutes and 59 seconds??? Did my eyes deceive me??? It wasn't even a full seven minutes??? Is this something a human can actually do?”

“Am I reading this right? It was really a Hell-level dungeon??? Cleared in six minutes??? This... this has to be a system bug, right!!!”

“Damn it! I bet on two hours! I lost everything!!!”

“Ahhh, Angry Crow!!! Angry Crow!!! I wanted you to be competent, but I didn't need you to be this competent!”

Cheng Shuili: “Sorry, just born this way.”

She curled her lips slightly, acting as if it were a basic maneuver despite her clear smugness, and calmly scrolled through the regional channel.

“Hahahaha, I knew our Big Shot Crow would bring a surprise. I went all in on under one hour!”

“You’re not the only one, man. Hahaha, I shouted it in our group just now, and us veterans of Partition 1000 all went all in on under one hour! After all, Big Shot Crow had already shown enough strength during the novice protection period!”

“I don't know much about this stuff, I just bought whichever had the highest payout. I should be making a good profit now!”

“Hahaha, hilarious! The guy who opened the betting pool must have a green face right now!”

“Is the guy who opened the pool still there? Is it too late to run away? @GamblersNeverProsper”

【GamblersNeverProsper】: ......Currently in line at the rooftop. Do not disturb.

“Wait... is this reasonable? The first place in Normal-level took 9 minutes, yet Hell-level was even faster???”

“Did Big Shot Crow climb out through a window??”

“Why don't you try climbing one and show me?”

“I can testify! I was one of the doors in the Hell-level dungeon! I saw with my own eyes that Big Shot Crow walked in and dismantled all of us!”

“Wake up, you're just a compressed biscuit.”

“Is that the point?! The point is, how did she do it?!”

“@Angry Crow Takes Flight Big Shot, please drop a guide!!!”

“Don't bother asking, it's useless. Big Shot Crow’s intelligence and observation skills are far beyond ordinary people! Even if she told us, we probably wouldn't understand.”

【Qingshan Trek】: As everyone knows, Sherlock Crow is our number one big shot.

“Holy crap! The big shot who took first place in the Epic-level has been lured out too!”

“Fight! Fight!”

“The betting pool is open! Qingshan vs. Crow! 1 to 10 odds! @GamblersNeverProsper, open another one!”

【GamblersNeverProsper】: Get lost!!!

“Why are you stirring up trouble? Are you guys out of your minds? To put it bluntly, Big Shot Qingshan isn't even fit to carry Crow’s shoes.”

“That logic holds, but that was a bit harsh. Aren't you afraid Big Shot Qingshan will single-handedly take you out?”

Cheng Shuili watched silently and gave a mental thumbs-up to the person who said “not fit to carry shoes.”

Exactly!

She, the number one, is well-deserved. Stop trying to cling to her fame, okay?

Just as this thought emerged, the tone of the regional channel shifted again, actually questioning the difficulty of the Hell-level dungeon.

“Did the system get the difficulty wrong? How is six minutes possible? According to the big shots in the regional channel, the Elite-level already has five doors! There is an Epic-level between Elite and Hell, so the number of doors in Hell-level must be more than six!”

“Do you understand what Crow’s score of six minutes means? It means Crow utilized clues to solve puzzles, found keys, and opened a door in under a minute! How is this possible?!”

“And! Why did the Hell-level difficulty only announce Crow’s score? Isn't it said that a total of eight people participated? Where are the scores of the other seven?”

“Maybe the other seven weren't announced because they didn't even enter the same difficulty?”

“That's a reasonable guess! How could anyone find clues, find keys, and open a door in less than a minute?! That’s just impossible.”

“I personally participated in the Elite-level dungeon. Not to mention finding clues, even if Crow saw where the clues were the moment she entered, it still takes time to read them! How could she just open the door like that?!”

Yeah!

How could she just open the door like that?

Cheng Shuili was a bit helpless at first, but now she found it amusing. Who told them she went in with the keys? How is that not a form of strength?

However, this theory in the regional channel gained approval from many, who clamored for the system to verify Angry Crow Takes Flight’s score and demanded the disclosure of her decryption process inside the dungeon.

Of course, the system would not agree to such unreasonable demands.

While the broadcast system was dutifully reciting the script prepared by other departments and quietly increasing its speed to get off work early, the silent system in charge of this dungeon suddenly handed it a draft.

The intention was clear: work overtime, interrupt with this first.

The broadcast system looked resentful, but considering the meager salary at the end of the month, it agreed.

Better than nothing, right?

【Detected that multiple players are questioning the difficulty of this dungeon. The Hell-level dungeon “Lost Door” is now reopened! All questioning players are granted one free entry qualification! The results of this dungeon will overwrite the initial results, but the results will not be publicized!】

【Additionally, announcing the requirements for entering this leaderboard: all players entering this leaderboard must not take longer than five hours!】

“What?”

“What does this mean? We are entering the Hell-level dungeon?”

“Not longer than five hours? Does that mean, besides Angry Crow Takes Flight, everyone else in the Hell-level took more than five hours?”

“Reasonable. The system also announced that there were eight people in the Hell-level. If there were no threshold for entering the leaderboard, they would all be the top eight regardless, that would be too good, right?”

“System, you should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have questioned anything!”

“This is a good thing! From now on, we can say we've challenged a Hell-level dungeon too!”

“Good my ass! Didn't you see that the results of this dungeon overwrite the initial results? If you fail this time, regardless of whether you succeeded the first time, you will be deducted 1,000 game coins! 1,000 game coins!! Do you even have that in your pocket?”

“Oh crap! I'm finished.”

The system’s broadcast not only caught the troublemakers in the regional channel off guard, but even Cheng Shuili was shocked into lifting her head.

This... this...

How does this seem like it’s backing her up?

The moment this thought appeared, Cheng Shuili shuddered. She widened her eyes, quickly throwing that filthy thought away!

Backing her up?

It’s a good system if it doesn't intentionally mess with her.

The incident where she was told she received 25% of the supplies only to get air just happened.

Every single thing that has happened before is the path Cheng Shuili has traveled! This dog system has always been more treacherous than the last!
