20: What bad intentions could a rich woman have?

Hearing the familiar laughter, Ye Ze subconsciously looked back.

It was the black-clad girl he had encountered before.

She was alone, her figure, wrapped in a black dress, was exquisitely curvaceous and alluring.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, full of vitality, exuding youthful energy, and her lively, peachy eyes observed Ye Ze with a smile.

“Would you consider teaming up with your elder sister?”

She wasn't that old, yet she kept calling herself “elder sister”...

Ye Ze didn't speak, realizing a problem:

He had clearly sent out the Squirrel’s Shadow Doppelganger to scout, but he hadn't detected the girl's presence at all.

She had avoided all the Shadow Doppelganger’s scouting!

Not simple...

Moreover, when he used his scouting panel earlier, he couldn't even see her level or profession.

Seeing Ye Ze remain silent, the black-clad girl smiled again:

“You're here to level up in preparation for the college entrance exam, right?”

“I found a Fiend stronghold, at least ten Demon Elite...”

Ten Demon Elite!

If he killed them all, it would not only be enough for him to level up once more but also yield nearly a thousand additional experience points!

Ye Ze seemed to already envision his experience bar skyrocketing.

He almost blurted out, “Where?”

The black-clad girl froze for a moment, then, suppressing a laugh, said:

“I'm at least a beauty, and you completely ignored me.”

“But when I mentioned Demon Elite, you got so excited?”

She sighed helplessly, “Oh, how will you find a girlfriend like this?”

“...”

The black-clad girl's words were a bit modest; she was not only a beauty but, among the girls Ye Ze had met, she ranked at least in the top two.

However, Ye Ze was in the Pollution Land, and her strength was mysterious, so he had to maintain due vigilance.

But now...

With the Eye of Insight, Ye Ze could probe her background.

In an instant, the Eye of Insight activated!

It locked onto the black-clad girl in front of him.

A super detailed personal panel appeared in his vision:

Upon seeing the measurements, Ye Ze's mouth twitched, and he closed the Eye of Insight.

He had absolutely no idea the information could be so detailed!

It was almost like it was going to tell him the color of her underwear.

This Eye of Insight simply crushed all scouting skills Ye Ze had ever seen!

It was indeed because she was wearing anti-scouting equipment—the Shielding Ring—that he couldn't see her information before.

However, under the Eye of Insight, nothing could hide.

But Ye Ze was also a bit puzzled:

Ruan Xiaoyou... Level 19 Dark Spirit Assassin, with extremely high attributes!

And she was only one transfer mission away from Tier 2.

With such a high level, and being a top student from Hua Dong Martial Arts University, why would she come to the Pollution Land?

Hua Dong Martial Arts University is the top university in the East China Region!

It has various types of leveling, resources, and trial dungeons, as well as subsidies for higher education provided by the state...

With these conditions, where would be a bad place to level up?

“What's wrong?”

Seeing Ye Ze's unnatural expression, Ruan Xiaoyou's beautiful eyes flickered with an interrogative gaze.

“Why are you staring at your elder sister? Do you want to know your elder sister's profession?”

Because he had been too focused on the Eye of Insight's information just now, Ye Ze decisively changed the subject:

“Cough... nothing, shall we talk about the Fiend stronghold?”

The black-clad girl, Ruan Xiaoyou, asked curiously, “You agreed to team up so quickly?”

Ye Ze's reason was simple...

Someone who ranked in the top 100 of the national college entrance exam last year was highly unlikely to be a dangerous, antisocial individual.

Moreover, looking at her excellent equipment and excellent skills... she was clearly a rich young lady!

What bad intentions could a rich lady have?

What's more, even with Ruan Xiaoyou's Level 19 capabilities, she still needed to find someone to team up with...

That Fiend stronghold must be anything but simple!

“Then let me introduce myself, my name is Ruan Xiaoyou, you can call me elder sister~”

The black-clad girl's eyes curved, naturally revealing a bright smile.

Ye Ze ignored the latter half of her sentence and said:

“My name is Ye Ze, and I am a Summoner.”

Not hearing Ye Ze call her elder sister, Ruan Xiaoyou pouted:

“Hmm... you can solo Demon Elite, right?”

Ye Ze thought for a moment. It seemed that Ruan Xiaoyou's 'Scouting Spirit' from before had probably seen him disposing of the Blood Bone Demon's corpse.

He admitted, “That's right.”

Ruan Xiaoyou smiled with satisfaction, “That's good. With that, we only need to find one more person who can solo Demon Elite.”

Still need to find another one?

She was a Level 19 professional with all excellent equipment and skills, and after finding him as a helper, she still thought it would be difficult?

Moreover, she explicitly required someone who could at least solo Demon Elite...

“Is this Fiend stronghold that difficult to deal with?” Ye Ze couldn't help but ask.

Fiend strongholds are a topic in the textbook “Demon Suppression and Resistance—Pollution Land.”

They usually form because some kind of energy body appears in the Pollution Land, causing Fiends to instinctively gather towards it.

Eventually, as more Fiends congregate, it evolves into a Fiend stronghold.

And there can be many types of energy bodies, such as high-quality crystals, high-quality items, and so on, all are possible.

However, the 19th Contaminated Land had just appeared, so theoretically, it shouldn't have gathered too strong a Fiend stronghold.

Ruan Xiaoyou clasped her hands in front of her chest and explained:

“That place is a large temple, already occupied by Fiends, layers upon layers...”

“I'm an Assassin, not good at fighting multiple opponents.”

“Even if I go to deal with the strongest ones, there are still at least six Demon Elite left!”

When she said “six,” she emphasized the word.

In her judgment, a person who could solo an Elite Fiend could probably hold off three Demon Elite of the same level.

If Ye Ze were to face six Fiends alone, the danger would be extremely high!

That's why she needed to find another teammate to help Ye Ze share the pressure.

After saying that.

She looked at Ye Ze teasingly, “Could it be that you want to fight six on your own?”

Dealing with six Demon Elite simultaneously, let alone Ye Ze who was only Level 6, even a Level 16 professional would be at risk of failing!

Ye Ze was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered a famous quote from a certain master in his previous life and said:

“No, I want to fight ten.”

Hearing this extremely arrogant statement.

Ruan Xiaoyou didn't mock him; her peachy eyes were full of laughter, “You're quite daring, little brother~”

But when she saw Ye Ze's expression, her small face was filled with surprise:

“You can't be serious, can you?”

The difficulty of dealing with multiple Fiends simultaneously is much higher than dealing with them one by one!

Not to mention, the immense difficulty of simultaneously dealing with six Demon Elite.

Especially for a Level 6 professional!

Ruan Xiaoyou couldn't help but recall that when she was Level 6, she was still slowly leveling up in the high school's Newbie Dungeon...

Let alone challenging six Demon Elite simultaneously, even one-on-one was extremely difficult!

Hearing Ruan Xiaoyou's question.

Ye Ze also couldn't help but seriously consider it.

After leveling up to Level 6, Panda's Strength had increased to 163.

If it was one-on-one with an Elite Fiend, one palm strike would be fine; with Lanque Tail, two with one palm strike wouldn't be difficult.

But if he had to deal with six simultaneously, the chances of winning would indeed decrease a bit...

He replied, “About 99% certainty.”

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiaoyou extended her fair hand and placed it on Ye Ze's forehead.

A Level 6 professional, going against six Level 15 Demon Elite...

Ye Ze didn't even say “I can try.”

But “99% certainty”??

He didn't say 100% certainty, so should she praise him for being humble?

Ruan Xiaoyou's eyes immediately became suspicious.

Not only did she not believe him, but even her six-year-old niece couldn't believe it!

She snorted, “Little brother, don't overdo it if you can't!”

Ye Ze smiled, “Whether I can or not, you can try it yourself...”

Ruan Xiaoyou clasped her hands in front of her chest, her peachy eyes wide, and immediately became interested:

“Try it, then try it...”

However, before she could finish speaking.

A crying plea for help suddenly erupted from a distance: “Help! Save me...”

The two immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw two frail girls, their clothes tattered, their faces extremely pale, seemingly so weak that their legs were giving out as they ran.

Blood stained their torn clothes, and the two girls pleaded weakly:

“Please, save...”

“There are Demon Captains behind us, many of them!”

Demon Elite? Many of them?

“Could it be that the Fiends from the stronghold have broken out?”

Ruan Xiaoyou looked at the two girls with a pained expression and immediately prepared to go forward, “I'm going to save them!”

“If you want to prove your strength, you canJust right can practice on the pursuers.”

As soon as she finished speaking.

She found Ye Ze's hand on her shoulder, forcefully stopping her.

Ruan Xiaoyou looked back in confusion.

She saw Ye Ze's expression was unusually calm, and a golden light seemed to flash in his pupils!
