58: Lin Chuan charges for bringing zombies
Quan Wudi looked at the coin's description and said, caught between laughter and tears, "Isn't this thing just gambling?"
A Fei nodded and said, "Until the final moment, no one would pin their hopes on something like this."
Quan Wudi laughed and said, "Give me one, I'll test the effect for everyone!"
Xiao Hongyuan handed the coin to Quan Wudi, looking forward to seeing the results after he used it.
Quan Wudi tossed the coin into the air; the coin spun rapidly before falling to the ground.
Before Quan Wudi could see which side was up, he suddenly heard a loud crack from the sky, and a bolt of heavenly lightning struck straight down, hitting him right on top of the head.
Quan Wudi let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground. With his face charred black, he spat out a puff of white smoke and lay there with a bitter smile, saying, "This bolt of heavenly punishment is much thicker than your Thunder Rage, A Fei."
A Fei, holding the coin Xiao Hongyuan had just handed him, shuddered and quickly gave it back, saying, "Forget it, you'd better keep it."
Quan Wudi crawled up from the ground, looked at the two who were trying not to laugh, and said, "Take my advice: if you can avoid using it, don't. This thing hurts too much."
A Fei suddenly asked in confusion, "Where's Jian Wuxie? Why hasn't he made a sound?"
The three of them quickly turned around to look, only to see Jian Wuxie lying on the ground, sleeping soundly and even snoring. A Goblin was holding a wooden club, aiming at Jian Wuxie's head and charging up an attack.
"Junior Brother, watch out!" Xiao Hongyuan shouted, trying to wake the sleeping Jian Wuxie.
Yet Jian Wuxie continued to sleep sweetly, even with a smile on his face. If it weren't for the wrong environment, anyone else seeing him would have thought he was having some kind of beautiful dream.
The Goblin gave a wicked laugh, and having finished charging, it swung the wooden club down toward Jian Wuxie's head.
A 'thud' rang out, making the three people behind him wince.
"┗|`O′|┛ Ow~~" The sleeping Jian Wuxie suddenly jumped up, clutching his head and leaping three feet high in pain.
Seeing Jian Wuxie jump up, the Goblin beside him quickly crawled into a wooden barrel to hide.
Jian Wuxie rubbed the large bump swelling on his forehead with one hand and swung his sword at the nearby wooden barrel with the other.
The Goblin, who had thought it would be safe hiding in the barrel, didn't even have time to scream before it shattered along with the barrel, dissipating into white light.
Only then did Xiao Hongyuan run to Jian Wuxie's side and ask, "How did you fall asleep?"
Jian Wuxie said embarrassedly, "I just broke a wooden barrel, and a puff of pink smoke suddenly rose from it. I inhaled a bit and felt very sleepy, and then I didn't know anything else."
Xiao Hongyuan shook her head and said, "Forget it, everyone's condition is very poor. Let's not waste any more revival coins; let's return to the city and find Brother Lin. It's only ten thousand gold coins anyway. Let's see how he handles the monsters here so we can learn and not end up like this."
The others had no objections, so they all exited the Dungeon Instance.
As soon as the four of them exited the Dungeon Instance, they felt their legs go soft and almost fell to the ground.
"What's going on? Why do I feel so weak as soon as I come out?" Quan Wudi asked, leaning against a nearby wall in confusion.
"Look at your status bars," A Fei said with a bitter smile.
The group looked and saw that their statuses had all turned to Weakened, requiring them to rest in place for half an hour to recover.
"Heh, this time we really lost the wife and the soldiers," Xiao Hongyuan mocked herself.
While they were resting, Lin Chuan happened to walk out of the Gran Forest with his two disciples. Seeing the four of them leaning against the wall at the entrance, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he pretended to be surprised, asking, "Oh my, what happened to you all?"
Jian Wuxie rolled his eyes weakly and asked, "How about it? Did you pass?"
Lin Chuan smiled and nodded, "Though it was a bit difficult, we barely managed to pass."
Quan Wudi said directly, "Little Brother Lin, this broken place you've made is way too insane."
"So?" Lin Chuan took a prepared wooden sign from Li Siyuan's hand and held it up, asking with a smirk, "Want to give it a try?"
Xiao Hongyuan was so frustrated she laughed and said helplessly, "Fine, ten thousand per person, we'll pay." After speaking, she took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan took the gold coins and turned to his two young disciples, "You two go find your respective Mentors to pick up your Class Advancement quests; I'll take them through once more."
Er Gou and Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Revered Master, then we'll head out first."
Lin Chuan looked at the four and said, "I can only take three in the first wave. Who's coming first?"
Xiao Hongyuan thought for a while and said, "I'll wait for the next time. Junior Brother, you guys go first."
The three had no objections and nodded in agreement.
Lin Chuan waited with them for a while, and once the Weakened status disappeared, he turned and led the team back into the Dungeon Instance.
After entering the Dungeon Instance again, Lin Chuan said to the three beside him, "Just watch; you can fight or not."
Jian Wuxie rested his long sword on his shoulder and laughed, "Brother Lin, who are you looking down on? My Greatsword is +12."
Lin Chuan glanced at Jian Wuxie's long sword, which was emitting a red glow, and smiled, "Then I have truly been disrespectful."
Jian Wuxie said proudly, "Of course. You don't need to act against those three Minotaur Giant Beasts in a bit; I'll show you the power of my +12 thousand year profound iron sword!"
Lin Chuan asked curiously, "You enhanced it to +12 at Kelli's? You've got guts."
Quan Wudi curled his lip, "That profiteering woman? Don't even mention her."
"He got an enhancement voucher from Seria's Lucky Gift Box!" Quan Wudi continued to expose him.
"Hehe, my Seria is still the one with a conscience. Jealous? That profiteer Kelli can't even compare to Young Miss Seria," Jian Wuxie said proudly.
Lin Chuan chuckled inwardly, thinking, "I wonder if you'll still think that way in the future. Thinking back to his past life, over a dozen years, players got poorer and poorer while Seria's portrait became more and more magnificent with more and more jewelry, his teeth itched with hatred."
Lin Chuan reached out and patted Jian Wuxie's shoulder, "I hope you can always like her!"
As the three Minotaur Giant Beasts appeared, Jian Wuxie and the others indeed didn't need Lin Chuan to act, resolving them very efficiently.
Lin Chuan was secretly surprised watching their cooperation. He hadn't expected these cultivators to adapt to the game's mechanics so quickly and even develop their own combos.
The four of them continued to the room with the white Zombies, and Lin Chuan said, "Watch my performance."
Lin Chuan pulled out an Automatic Pistol, and a light glowed on his body. With a 'ding', the bullets in the magazine also began to emit a faint silver light.
Lin Chuan crouched down and, pulling it from who-knows-where, placed a bright silver square machine about knee-high on the ground.
That strange Robot actually began to rush toward the horde of Zombies lying all over the ground on its own.
Hearing the sound, the Zombies were attracted and stood up, chasing after the square machine.
With a 'boom', the machine actually exploded in the middle of the horde. After a burst of fire, the Zombies that were closer all had obvious wounds left on them.
Lin Chuan raised his gun and began to fire. The Gunner character's long legs, combined with Lin Chuan's current posture, looked extremely elegant.
