Chapter 223 · Volume 1

Announcement of Results

Brother Invincible, that piece of trash—among the people he selected, she must be one of them, right?
It is no wonder Cheng Shuili thinks this way. Put yourself in his shoes: if Cheng Shuili had obtained this card, she would have chosen the top-ranked players too!
In this situation, the top-ranked players are simply fat sheep! You really can't blame others for getting greedy!
However...
Cheng Shuili might have let it slide if she didn't know, but now that she does, she certainly won't let him off so easily.
The regional channel is still arguing.
They are arguing over whether or not one should kill a person over two meals.
Cheng Shuili raises her hand to the keyboard and nimbly taps out a line of text.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I just found a card in my storage. Posting it here for everyone to see. (Special Dungeon Opening Card)
"It even startled the Crow out. I don't get it—what is there even to argue about?"
"I'll say this one last time! The fact that Brother Invincible deserves to die is set in stone! He is absolutely not a good person!"
"Isn't it just two meals? I've been saying it all along, is it really worth it? No matter how good food is, it's not worth more than a human life!"
"In this place, human life isn't worth a damn! Human life isn't even as rare as a pile of dog shit! What is food? Food is life! Do you know how many people are just waiting for these two meals? Do you know how many lives these two meals could potentially save? Can a simple 'unintentional mistake' just brush it off? On what grounds?"
"It's already happened. The guy really didn't mean it! What else do you want? So much drama!"
"He didn't?"
"???"
"What the hell are you all arguing about! Has anyone actually looked at what the Crow posted?"
"Shut up, all of you! Go look at what the Crow posted!"
The words act like a wake-up call. The people frantically typing stop their fingers and scroll up to check the Crow's message.
This is the rank-one player; any scrap of information she drops could benefit them ordinary players immensely! They cannot afford to miss the Crow's news.
At that sight, everyone falls silent.
The regional channel becomes unnervingly quiet for a moment. That question—"Did you look at what the Crow posted?"—acts like a clear boundary, splitting the entire chat channel into two distinct parts.
After a brief silence, the messages in the regional channel explode once again!
"Holy crap!!! What kind of hellish item is this?!"
"So Brother Invincible, that piece of trash, did it on purpose?! He just wanted to rob us of our supplies?!"
"@Brother Invincible, get out here and explain!!!"
"What the hell is there to explain? Hurry, hurry! Who’s going to take action? I’ll provide the supplies!"
"Where are those lackeys who were speaking up for Brother Invincible just now? Keep barking! Why aren't you talking anymore?"
"Laughing to death, playing dead now? Weren't you guys pretty talkative a moment ago? 'It's just two meals'~ 'He didn't mean it'~ Come on, come on, you holy fathers, keep performing!"
Those IDs that were defending Brother Invincible just a moment ago have all vanished, as if they never existed.
Cheng Shuili watches the public opinion in the chat channel flip instantly with cold eyes, a sneer curling her lips. In the face of absolute evidence, any sophistry appears pale and powerless.
Today, she is going to hammer this Brother Invincible into the ground.
Physically, of course.
She is just about to tell Ailin to take action when she receives another message from Liang Shanbo.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Boss! I even managed to ask him. He designated five people. Can you guess who they are?
Cheng Shuili arches an eyebrow slightly. Who else could it be?
Naturally, the top five on the leaderboard!
And specifically, the wealth leaderboard!
The reason is simple: if she had this card, she would do the same thing.
In a sense, Brother Invincible hasn't done anything 'wrong' by his own logic, but his biggest mistake—the one he should never have made—was trying to trip Cheng Shuili up behind her back, and then letting one of her people trick the truth out of him.
Disaster comes from the tongue.
If he doesn't die today, who will?
Oh, wait. He can't die today.
Cheng Shuili sighs; cards aren't allowed to be used on rest days.
She sends her speculation to Liang Shanbo. Liang Shanbo pauses for a moment, then asks, "Boss, you even let others trick the info out of him? Wuwu! You can't!"
Cheng Shuili: "..."
The kid has decent skills now, but he loves to let his imagination run wild.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: I guessed it.
Liang Shanbo blinks, swallowing back the tears welling in his eyes. Without even thinking, he replies, "Boss is so smart."
She is indeed a bit smarter than him.
Cheng Shuili ponders for a moment and then opens the regional channel again.
The wind has completely shifted; almost everyone is denouncing him in the regional channel.
If the system had a mute function, more than half of the people in Dragon Country’s Third Region, Partition 666 would probably be muted today.
Brother Invincible is so cursed at that he doesn't dare to say a single word.
While Cheng Shuili is watching the spectacle, the system—which had stopped speaking after the host finished the announcement—starts up again.
【Due to the supply difficulty assigned by the dungeon host! Therefore, only the highest-value items will be awarded separately to the player with the best performance! The remaining items will be distributed by the successful players according to the dungeon difficulty!】
【The individual performance rankings for this dungeon in this region are now announced!】
【Normal-level: First place, Cheng Yuyu, time: 1 minute 46 seconds!
...
"Yuyu-dazhuang is still as stable as ever. This is the third time she's taken first in Normal-level, right? At this rate, she'll be moving up to Elite-level soon?"
"It's a pity that the difficulty of the dungeons you can participate in is tied to the leaderboard. Yuyu-dazhuang might not be able to participate in Elite-level for a while."
"??? Is a three-peat first place in Normal-level really that hard?"
"So first place in Normal-level can also be called 'dazhuang'? I thought that title, at its worst, was reserved for Epic-level players."
...
They are arguing again.
Cheng Shuili takes a casual glance; it doesn't have much to do with her. She isn't interested in such things, and knowing what happened is enough for her.
Next are the Normal and Epic levels. Cheng Shuili looks; they are all people she doesn't know, but the times are all around two minutes.
This number proves only one thing: this dungeon was indeed simple.
Then comes the Epic-level dungeon.
Cheng Shuili isn't very nervous, and the remaining participants of the Epic-level dungeon aren't very nervous either.
In the entire Dragon Country’s Third Region, Partition 666, the most nervous person is undoubtedly Brother Invincible.
His breathing is rapid, his eyes fixed dead on the panel where the system is about to display the results.
To him, using this card was a gamble!
Using all his supplies to bet on the number of people who would fail the dungeon.
Choosing five people, setting the minimum dungeon time, to bet on their failure!
Brother Invincible is just too nervous; he has a bad feeling.
In his original plan, he should have drawn a particularly difficult, particularly dangerous dungeon—the kind that ordinary people simply couldn't clear, the kind that forced a minimum of eight hours!
That way...
He would have been certain of making a profit.
But today, of all days, there is no danger at all! And the opened dungeon is so simple!
When he hears the system's announcement, his eyes are truly splitting with rage.
