55: A glass of red wine

Beside Ning Fengya, Ning Fengnian remained silent.

He had just sworn that Night Ember was a flash in the pan, and the speed at which his face was slapped was simply too fast.

Ning Fengnian was accustomed to big scenes, yet at this moment, his mind was still filled with question marks.

Ning Fengnian liked to study the pros and cons of various classes in his spare time. In his eyes, the Sequence 999 Clown Class was not qualified to be in the 999 sequence at all.

Because, the Clown Class was simply too weak.

Other classes with weak combat power would have some other utility more or less, but the Clown Class had no auxiliary effect whatsoever.

It was completely just a super soldier!

It was not even as good as some of the stronger super soldiers.

The Clown Class breaking the dungeon records of Qilin Immortal Venerable, Yuan Shu, and other big shots was, in Ning Fengnian's view, simply a fantasy, a massive joke to the world.

He wouldn't even dare to have such an outrageous dream!

"First, he broke the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon record three times in a row, then opened the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance, and now he has broken the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance record."

"For a Clown player to achieve this, there must be an incredible secret hidden on him."

"Such a person should indeed be brought back and studied carefully."

...

Not far from Ning Fengnian, Zhao Yunsou was also dumbfounded after seeing the golden banner.

After a brief moment of shock, Zhao Yunsou clenched his fists, his eyes filled with excitement and fanaticism.

"Well done!"

"Night Ember, you really have given this young master one surprise after another!"

"I am determined to have this talent; no one is allowed to snatch him away!"

Zhao Yunsou suddenly turned his head to look at Ning Fengya, a lewd smile slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"This time you are destined to make a wasted trip; this young master wants both Night Ember and the skill book."

"Not only those, but in the near future, you will eventually belong to this young master as well."

"Hmm~ You slept with that piece of trash Lin Du, so be it. Married women have more flavor; this young master also wants to play the role of Cao Thief for once."

"This young master did not come to Yunlong City just to play."

...

At the headquarters building of the Peak of the Forbidden City, in the top-floor office.

The high-level officials of the Peak of the Forbidden City were all silent, their faces pale, standing where they were, not even daring to breathe.

Qilin Immortal Venerable sat calmly on the sofa sipping tea, his face showing nothing but helplessness.

"Is this what you call foolproof?"

"I didn't expect the record to be broken not by Yuan Shu, but by an unknown novice player."

"It seems that this Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance is not meant for me..."

36 minutes and 36 seconds!

When clearing the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance today, Qilin Immortal Venerable had actually held back some of his methods.

In a place like Yunlong City, no one was worthy of Qilin Immortal Venerable going all out; even Yuan Shu was a step behind.

Qilin Immortal Venerable had originally thought that these reserved methods were unnecessary to use, but now it seemed... it was indeed unnecessary.

His dungeon score was 1 hour and 20 minutes; even if he tried his best, he could only improve it by five or six minutes at most.

In this situation, it made no sense to use the reserved methods or not.

A score of 36 minutes and 36 seconds had shattered the sky; no other player could possibly break it...

"Is this Night Ember the Clown player you mentioned last time who broke the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon record three times in one day?" Qilin Immortal Venerable asked casually.

Opposite him, the high-level officials of the Peak of the Forbidden City nodded immediately.

"Yes, Immortal Venerable, it is that Clown player!"

"The people below reported that the two Novice Village hidden quests discovered by the Three Kingdoms were obtained from this Clown player."

"The spy also said that this Clown player seems to have obtained an incredible Blacksmith Class. A while ago, he forged a level 110 S-grade perfect quality weapon and sold it to the Three Kingdoms side."

Mentioning the level 110 perfect quality weapon, Qilin Immortal Venerable's delicate little face showed some interest.

"A level 14 player forging a level 110 perfect quality weapon—that is interesting!"

"He has broken the rules again and again; it seems he is an unusual character. Have you found out his origins?"

The high-level officials of the Peak of the Forbidden City shook their heads with grim expressions.

"Immortal Venerable, this Clown has always worn a mask; we cannot see his origins."

Qilin Immortal Venerable raised an eyebrow. "Did you not use spiritual power to detect him?"

"Immortal Venerable, we previously sent people to use spiritual power to investigate, but his mask seems to be able to block spiritual power detection, so our people returned empty-handed."

"We also experimented with other Clown players later, but the masks on their faces could not block spiritual power. That Night Ember seems to be a bit different from ordinary Clown players..."

After the subordinates finished reporting, the conference room fell silent.

Qilin Immortal Venerable was expressionless, his mind lost in thought.

At this moment, a woman wearing a wine-red cheongsam, charming and enchanting, suddenly walked out.

The woman had a famous game ID above her head—Hong Jiu'er!

Hong Jiu'er stretched, her proud curves exposed to the air.

She yawned and said lazily, "Boss, we cannot just let the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance go like that."

"If the three of us obtain the level-up rewards, it won't be long before the Peak of the Forbidden City stands at the very pinnacle of Yunlong City."

"This opportunity is rare; you must consider it carefully~"

"universe ol" is a cruel world, and "lifespan value" is the highest criterion in this world.

Qilin Immortal Venerable looked up at Red Wine. "Red Wine, what do you want to do?"

Hong Jiu'er smiled, licked her red lips, and made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Of course, it is to kill him!"

"Once he is dead, the dungeon record will naturally disappear, and the record will still belong to the Peak of the Forbidden City!"

Hong Jiu'er's words made many high-level officials feel tempted.

In the game, human life is cheap as grass; those who have walked step by step to the pinnacle, which of them isn't stained with human blood?

If killing a novice player could make the Peak of the Forbidden City stand at the pinnacle of Yunlong City, then no one would refuse such a huge temptation.

Human life is worthless!

Qilin Immortal Venerable sighed, a decision forming in his heart.

"This Clown player should be an interesting person; it's a pity to kill him like this."

"Go and recruit him first. If he is willing to join the Peak of the Forbidden City, then spare his life. If he is not willing to join..."

"Then do as Red Wine says!"
