124: Chapter 124 Death Liability Pledge! Battlefield-type instance [Wilderness Grassland]!

Facing his confusion, Li Zhihai couldn't care less.

"Old Bai, this is where your experience is lacking."

"Don't look down on them just because they're young; their strength and status are quite extraordinary."

Bai Yaru looked at the four of them, puzzled.

He couldn't see anything different about them.

Li Zhihai pretended to be amazed, waving his hands.

"These are top students from Galaxy Academy; they aren't comparable to the little brat in your family."

"Don't look at them as just Rank 10; they might actually be stronger than you, Old Bai, if they work together."

Bai Yaru was a bit unconvinced. "Director, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"My kid might not be able to beat them, but to say even I can't? Isn't that looking down on me a bit?"

Li Zhihai patted him on the shoulder.

"The waves of the Yangtze River push the ones ahead; each generation is stronger than the last."

"Old Bai, the era is different now."

"These young students must have absolute certainty to come and challenge, so why make things difficult for them?"

"Right, young heroes?"

His face looked full of kindness, but he was sneering in his heart.

Since you want to die, I will gladly fulfill your wish!

Zhang Jian had not mentioned the matter regarding Li Zhihai to Wei Donglai and Yan Han.

After being lectured by Li Zhihai, they felt they had finally met someone who knew the ropes.

"Exactly, this uncle really has an eye for talent!"

"Our four-person team has both offense and defense, and our synergy is invincible. What is a medium-sized Dungeon? We can handle it with ease!"

Li Zhihai was overjoyed.

"I knew I didn't misjudge you; you have spirit!"

"However..."

He pretended to be in a difficult position.

"After all, your Ranks are still a bit too low, and your team isn't at full capacity."

"If I let you in, I have to take on some responsibility."

"Unless..."

Wei Donglai caught his implication.

"Unless what? Just say it."

Li Zhihai sighed.

"Unless you sign a Death Liability Waiver. If any accidents occur within the Dungeon, it will have nothing to do with the Professionals Association, and you will be fully responsible for all circumstances."

Wei Donglai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that all? No..."

He was about to agree, but then felt it wasn't appropriate and looked at Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian naturally wouldn't refuse and smiled slightly.

"No problem, we can sign it."

Seeing Zhang Jian be so straightforward, Li Zhihai felt something was wrong inside.

Do these guys really not understand, or are they playing dumb with me?

But he steadied himself and continued speaking.

"Although I believe you all have extraordinary strength and outstanding talent, and there certainly won't be any issues since you dare to challenge it."

"But in the unlikely event that a problem occurs, our Dungeon might be suspended for rectification. The wasted manpower and economic losses from that are not a small amount."

Wei Donglai was a bit displeased now.

"Are you trying to extort us?"

Zhang Jian waved his hand. "How much money? We'll pay it!"

His straightforwardness surprised Li Zhihai.

But since the words were already spoken, he didn't overthink it.

Instead, he pretended to be generous.

"Of course, as long as all of you come out safely, we will refund this additional guarantee fee in full."

"And."

His voice was full of seduction.

"As long as your first clear achieves an A-Rank or higher in Nightmare difficulty, we will gift you an additional free challenge opportunity."

Zhang Jian nodded.

"Then thank you."

Wang Fei stepped forward to pay, and the displayed amount was a staggering 3.5 million.

Among it, 500,000 was the fee for one challenge, and 3 million was the guarantee fee.

After payment, the four of them went straight into the Dungeon.

Once their figures disappeared, Bai Yaru gathered the courage to speak.

"Director, you just said you'd give a free challenge opportunity. I'm afraid these kids might act recklessly for a high rating; it's not very safe."

Li Zhihai's face turned slightly cold.

"Are you implying that I'm misleading them?"

Bai Yaru's face went pale. "No, no, no, Director, I didn't mean that."

He shut his mouth, not daring to speak again.

Even though he had some doubts about Li Zhihai's behavior, he dared not say anything more.

Li Zhihai's expression was calm, but he was sneering in his heart.

"Of course I want to mislead them!"

"If I didn't say it was free, how would they desperately push for a higher rating?"

"Only then is it easier for problems to arise and for them to lose their lives in the Dungeon."

He also had a plan in mind.

Once the group had problems in this Dungeon, he would find a way to transfer Bai Yaru away from this post.

Even if someone investigated later, they wouldn't know the role he played in it.

A cold glint flashed in Li Zhihai's eyes.

Two lucky little brats, wanting to fight me?

...

After entering the Dungeon.

A cool breeze blew over, and the weeds under their feet rustled.

This was clearly an endless, desolate grassland.

An indifferent voice rang out in their hearts.

"Clear conditions for the battle-type medium Dungeon [Wild Grassland]: Kill monsters on the battlefield to drop battle flag fragments. Synthesize 3 [Legion Battle Flags] and insert them into the altar to activate the BOSS. Kill it to complete the clear."

"Depending on the number of battle flags obtained, the strength of the BOSS killed, and the clear time, you can obtain ratings of different difficulty and levels."

"If you exit early, the difficulty level will decrease, and the rating will be lowered."

Wang Fei observed the terrain, took out a small notebook, and was drawing rapidly.

Wei Donglai and Yan Han were bursting with questions they wanted to ask.

But Zhang Jian waved his hand. "Ask Wang Fei!"

After Wang Fei finished explaining the grudge between them and Li Zhihai, both of them were furious.

"Damn, this jerk actually wanted to harm Brother Jian. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so polite just now."

"Fortunately, Brother Fei and Brother Jian are lucky and strong. If it were anyone else, they really would have been forced to their deaths by this guy!"

After their indignation, the two were also a bit puzzled.

"Brother Jian, how are you planning to deal with him? The brothers won't have any objections!"

Zhang Jian shook his head.

"No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities."

"Seize the opportunity, let's finish clearing the Dungeon first!"

Just as he finished speaking.

Several sounds of wind rang out.

-680! -720! -565!

Several arrows shot over in succession.

Damage numbers floated up over everyone's heads.

"This attack power isn't low."

Wang Fei's hands didn't stop, quickly buffing everyone with various support skills while saying in surprise.

"After all, they are Rank 25 monsters, they won't be weak."

Zhang Jian responded and swung his sword at the few archer monsters closest to him.

-123049! (Critical Hit) -36914!

The two archers were instantly killed, turning into white light.

Seeing this scene, Wei Donglai and Yan Han both paused.

Big brother, is this what you meant by "won't be weak"?

Instantly killing two with one sword?

Zhang Jian was also a bit surprised.

For that sword strike just now, to maximize attack range, he hadn't even used Sword Qi Slash.

It was just a normal attack.

Who knew that after a critical hit, it could have such explosive power.

He glanced at his panel.

Attack Power: 20632

This was accumulated from the previous few Dungeon runs; he had forcibly upgraded his legendary rank weapon, [endless devourer], to Rank 13.

According to the effect of the entry, this weapon could even be upgraded by another 4 Ranks.

By then, what kind of output effect would it have?

Zhang Jian looked at the huge grassland battlefield and the countless flickering monster figures in the distance.

He started to get a little excited.
