Chapter 4: Shameless

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

When they stepped into this instance dungeon, everyone who entered the instance dungeon for the first time could not help but have goosebumps.

For some reason, Yunzhou was a city that was wet all year round and had many forests. However, in this instance dungeon, it was a completely different scene.

[Forgotten Wasteland] The name did not sound like much, but after seeing the yellow sand and the Gobi Desert, even an experienced player who had been through it several times would be amazed.

However, the fact that this was a newbie dungeon didn’t change. The monsters in the dungeon were of low levels and their movements were relatively slow.

The people who entered the dungeon were teleported to different coordinates in batches. Tang Jing, who came in a step later, coincidentally landed at the coordinates where Xu Fan had first landed.

Looking at the mummies ‘corpses that were cut into pieces on the ground, as well as many large ant lions that were cut into pieces in the sea of sand, he could not help but click his tongue.

Just as he was curious about who was so efficient, he looked up and saw Xu Fan strolling forward.

[Artifact Spirit Mingshu, you have killed the Forgotten’s corpse. You have gained 15 experience points.]

[Artifact spirit Mingshu, you have killed the Forgotten’s remains. You have gained 10 experience points.]

[Artifact spirit Mingshu, you have killed a large ant lion. You have gained 20 experience points.]

[Congratulations, you have met the leveling requirements and have reached LV.1]

[Congratulations, you have met the leveling requirements and have reached LV.2]

The corpses of the monsters that had been killed had faint light bands that marked the location of the EXP receiver. Countless tiny bands of light gathered into strands and lingered around Xu Fan.

In front of him, the fairy-like woman he had seen outside the dungeon was chopping down ferocious monsters with gorgeous saber techniques.

The monster’s corpse almost piled up into a small hill, making Tang Jing, who was not far away, angry and annoyed.

He was furious that Xu Fan had moved so quickly that he had cleared almost all the monsters on this path. He, who had come later, could not even get leftovers.

What annoyed him was that he had a beautiful sister to accompany him, while he only had a bunch of burly men in sunglasses and black.

“Shameless.” Tang Jing immediately said hatefully, criticizing Xu Fan’s behavior of reaping without sowing. This was the only thing Tang Jing could do.

“What are you looking at? Hurry up and pull the monsters over!”

The bodyguards around her stared at Min Shu, who was dancing among the monsters, with their eyes wide open. Tang Jing angrily kicked them one by one, urging them to hurry up.

According to Xu Fan’s speed, if this continued, Tang Jing would have no more monsters to kill. The bodyguards quickly took action, hurriedly raising their weapons and charging at the monsters.

There was a limit to the dungeons in this world. A dungeon like this had a monster limit of 10 levels. The highest level that could be accommodated was only 10 levels.

In order to help Tang Jing level up quickly, these level 10 bodyguards were even idle people who were found at the last minute.

How could some amateurs compare themselves to Ming Shu, who was a level 21, born to be a weapon? They even tried to snatch her meat from her mouth.

A few monsters that had finally been aggroed ran in Tang Jing’s direction, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. In the next moment, their heads were pierced by a flying Universe Sword.

Ming Shu, who was not far away, threw the scabbard over and knocked the Universe Sword that was stuck in the monster’s body away. Then, she raised her hand and caught the sword that flew back casually. She stabbed it into the mummy that was pouncing on her. Her acrobatic movements were like flowing water, stunning everyone.

Ming Shu pulled out her knife and wiped the blood off the blade. She slowly looked up and swept her gaze across Tang Jing and the others. Her motive was very simple. She just wanted to confirm if the group of people standing in the distance was her target.

However, when it came to Tang Jing, it became a beautiful and moving girl who threw him a gaze full of hints.

He was Tang Jing, the Tang Jing who thought highly of himself. Ever since he was young, he felt that he should be a heroic version of a big shot who saved the world. He had also seen many cliché scenes of heroes saving beauties. Therefore, when he looked into Ming Shu’s beautiful eyes, he instantly imagined a poor girl who was caught by a demon and could only work for him all day, waiting for her prince charming to save her.

Thus, he strode forward a few steps, put his hands on his hips, and shouted loudly: “Miss, I’m the eldest son of the Tang family, Tang Jing. I understand what you mean! If you’ve suffered any grievances or been threatened by that fellow, you can directly say it. Tang family can settle it for you!”

As he spoke, he had already thought of how Ming Shu would follow behind him in the future and call him master all day long.

“What is he shouting? Xu Fan raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Tang Jing meant. He looked at the artifact spirit beside him, and Ming Shu shook her head innocently.

“Master, the monsters here are almost clean. The remaining monsters are scattered. If we continue fighting here, it will slow down our progress.”

“Hmm, I can see that. Let’s move forward first. If it doesn’t work, we can just push all the way to the boss.”

In the time that they were talking, Ming Shu took the time to kill another eight or nine large ant lions, successfully raising Xu Fan to Level 5.

Xu Fan also opened his own information interface and took a simple look. His defense, agility, and intelligence were all 11 points on average. Excluding the 10 basic points that were allocated to him after awakening his profession, every time he leveled up, his basic level would increase by a corresponding number of skill points.

As a non-combat lifestyle class, the value that was linked to the skill had no value at all, so the distribution was very equal.

Xu Fan did not care about this. His focus was on the mission marked by the system:

[Mission: Upgrade to level 10 and forge your second weapon spirit. Mission reward: Artifact Spirit Master Profession Skill, Unity of Strength]

[Unity of Strength: Appoint an existing artifact spirit to use, simultaneously obtain the artifact spirit’s skill panel, and simultaneously stack the weapon spirit’s attribute panel on your existing attributes.]

After reading the skill description, Xu Fan smiled knowingly: In that case, wouldn’t the seemingly useless average panel be of great use?

At the same time, he looked at Ming Shu’s interface:

[Level: 21]

[Body: 12]

[Defense: 11]

[Strength: 13]

[Agility: 15]

[Intelligence: 10]

The Warrior’s interface specialized in Strength and Agility. If he added his on top of that, wouldn’t it be equivalent to doubling the overall level?

In addition to the percentage increase effect provided by the Intimacy Level System, this was almost an existence that could crush people of the same level!
