54: Chapter 54 Hidden Dungeon Unlocked, Entrance to the Elf Realm

After Ling Xi's words, "You showed your sincerity first," the tips of her ears were still tinged with a faint red.

But she did not back away; instead, she looked up at Lin Zhe, her gaze becoming a few degrees more serious than before.

"Lord Lin Zhe."

"I have been staying in Luofeng Village for the past few days, and I have seen how the players here have welcomed me."

"They gave me gifts, helped me block those from the Abyss, and they truly like the things of the Elf Race."

She lightly gripped her staff, and the light green Natural Divine Power flowed slowly.

"So, I want to give another gift."

As soon as she said this, the ears of the surrounding players instantly perked up.

"Another gift?"

"The Princess is going to give out more benefits?"

Lin Chen also blinked and asked in a milky voice, "What kind of gift?"

Ling Xi looked at the village entrance, then at the Luofeng Secret Realm not far away that was already being swarmed by players, and said softly, "I can temporarily open an entrance to an Elf Secret Realm in Luofeng Village."

"The entry level is ten to twenty."

"Inside, it will connect to the Elf Race's outer trial area."

"After clearing it, one can obtain Elf-exclusive agility equipment and rare herbs."

She paused, her voice getting even softer, yet it caused the entire scene to instantly explode.

"Those with enough luck will even have a chance to obtain the qualification for the Elf Archer hidden class advancement."

Boom!

The entire earthen slope directly erupted.

"Hidden class?!"

"Holy crap! The Elf Archer hidden class?"

"And we can enter from Luofeng Village?"

"Level ten to twenty? Isn't this prepared for the Novice Area and players who just left the village!"

Xing Jianwan also glanced sideways at Ling Xi.

This gift was not light.

Lin Zhe looked up at her, his expression remaining calm.

The system prompt popped up at this moment.

[Ding! Ling Xi has taken the initiative to open Elf trial resources for the host's faction.]

[Second Bond progress increased.]

[Current Progress: 75%]

A golden pattern flashed in the depths of Lin Zhe's eyes as he spoke indifferently, "Very well."

Ling Xi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Her fair fingers tightened around her staff as she walked directly to the open space in the center of Luofeng Village.

"Then I shall begin."

The next second.

She tapped her staff on the ground.

Buzz—

Large patches of emerald-green light patterns spread from the ground, winding all the way into the air like countless vines intertwining in mid-air.

The natural aura in the direction of the village entrance suddenly became dense.

Following that, a secret realm light gate, entirely jade-green and covered in ancient tree branches and leaves, slowly rose!

On the door frame, Moon Leaf patterns flowed.

Inside the gate, a faintly visible phantom of an ancient elven forest appeared.

A server-wide announcement instantly popped up.

[Server-wide Announcement: Elf Princess Ling Xi has opened a temporary dungeon in Luofeng Village—Elf Secret Realm Entrance.]

[Entry Level: 10-20]

[Dungeon Rewards: Elf-exclusive agility equipment, rare herbs.]

[Special Reward: Probability of obtaining the qualification for the hidden class 'Elf Archer' advancement.]

[The current dungeon queue is now open.]

As soon as the announcement came out, the entire world of 'miracle' went crazy.

The world channel was instantly flooded.

"Hidden class!!!"

"Elf Archer? This is a hidden class!"

"Hurry to Luofeng Village!"

"Where's the teleportation array? I'm going to squeeze in!"

And in Luofeng Village itself, it was like a pot of hot oil had been stirred.

In front of the dungeon entrance, a tide of people surged forward with a roar.

"Level 10 Archer seeking party!"

"Level 19 Archer carrying four, looking for capable players!"

"Solo players 5-man party looking for one! First come, first served!"

"Don't push! I lost my shoe!"

In less than ten minutes, the number of people queuing at the dungeon entrance exceeded three thousand.

In twenty minutes, it broke seven thousand.

Before half an hour had passed, the number on the queuing panel Lin Chen had brought up had already jumped to five digits.

[Current Queue Count: 10,328]

The surrounding players felt their scalps go numb watching this.

"It's over ten thousand!"

"It hasn't even been half an hour!"

"Who wouldn't want to gamble on a hidden class!"

Lin Chen's small face was tense as he raised his hand to add rules.

"Queue up to enter."

"Those who cut in line will be kicked out."

Buzz!

A row of pale golden number plates immediately appeared in front of the secret realm entrance, and the player queue was instantly straightened out by the rules.

And the first batch to enter the dungeon were mostly players whose levels were exactly within the requirements.

There were guild teams.

And there were solo player teams.

The ones who truly cleared it first, however, were still not the big guilds.

But a five-person solo player team that had been put together temporarily.

The leader's ID was [Fengli Zhuiye].

The team composition was very simple.

One Archer, one Assassin, one Mage, one Priest, and one Light Armor Warrior.

All were solo players.

No backing, no background.

But they were steady enough and worked hard enough.

After entering the Elf Trial Area, the five of them carefully pulled monsters all the way, pushing forward through sheer grit and the various buffs already present in Luofeng Village.

More than thirty minutes later.

The secret realm light gate suddenly lit up with a burst of green-gold light.

[Congratulations to the player team 'Fengli Zhuiye Team' for the first clear of the Elf Secret Realm Entrance.]

Boom!

All the players on the scene instantly looked up.

"The first clear is out!"

"Who? Which guild?"

"It's not a guild, it's a solo player team!"

The next second, five streaks of white light fell from the dungeon entrance.

Fengli Zhuiye and his four companions were teleported out, their faces flushed and their breathing not yet steady.

And in leader Fengli Zhuiye's hands, he was holding a scroll that emitted an emerald-green light.

Above the scroll, a line of words hovered impressively.

[Hidden Class Advancement Certificate: Elf Archer]

The air was silent for a second.

The next instant, the entire Luofeng Village completely exploded!

"It actually dropped!"

"A hidden class certificate!!!"

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

Fengli Zhuiye himself was dazed, his hands trembling.

The teammates beside him had already started howling.

"It dropped! We really got it!"

It wasn't just the hidden class.

The others in the team were also holding two pieces of Elf Wind-Pattern Bracers, a pair of green-blue mixed-color boots with agility bonuses, and a large bag of rare herbs.

But all of this paled in comparison to the [Elf Archer].

The world channel was directly overwhelmed.

[Solo player team achieves first clear of the Elf Secret Realm, drops 'Elf Archer' Hidden Class Advancement Certificate!]

[That NPC family has opened another heaven-defying dungeon!]

[Hurry to Luofeng Village! If you're late, you won't even get in line!]

In front of the dungeon entrance, the players' eyes were completely bloodshot with envy.

"Even if there are ten thousand more in line, I'll still queue!"

"The hidden class has already dropped, why farm anything else!"

"Guild members get out of the way, let me in first!"

Ling Xi stood by Lin Zhe's side, looking down at the completely boiling tide of people, her eyes brightening slightly.

She could feel that the way the players looked at her was completely different from when she first arrived.

It wasn't just amazement.

There was also expectation, gratitude, and even reliance.

And all of this was because she had opened the entrance by Lin Zhe's side.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe remained calm, but in those eyes, there was a trace of faint deep meaning.

Lin Chen, meanwhile, had already started adding the finishing touches in his milky voice.

"Those who want to enter the Elf Secret Realm, queue up honestly."

"Whoever causes trouble will lose their qualification."

As these words fell, that large mass of players in front of the gate who were about to go crazy actually suppressed their commotion by force.

One by one, with bloodshot eyes, they continued to queue.

Continued to wait.

Continued to stare at that emerald-green Elf Secret Realm light gate.

Because now, everyone knew.

In Luofeng Village, another gate that could change one's destiny had appeared.
