235: Chapter 235 Who's Leading Whom Through Dungeons?

Chen You felt a bit "moved" as he watched the scene before him, which was comparable to fanatical idol fans protecting their master offline.

He really wanted to say: Brothers, I appreciate the sentiment, but please don't do this next time; it's quite embarrassing.

"What exactly is the situation?"

He looked at the Werewolf Warrior, who was so excited he looked like he might ascend on the spot, and asked in a flat tone.

Upon hearing his idol's question, the Werewolf Warrior immediately straightened his back and explained at a very fast pace:

"Big shot! It's like this! When Chairman Salos and the others came out just now, their expressions didn't look very good."

"This grandson named Lei Yan was being all sarcastic here, saying that you must have used the newbie protection period to ninja the Three Great Divine Races' equipment in the dungeon, and even said you..."

He paused, as if the words that followed were difficult to say.

"Said what?" Chen You raised an eyebrow.

"Said you're a parasite who throws your weight around just because you have money!" The Werewolf Warrior lowered his head, as if he were the one being insulted.

"We got furious the moment we heard it! What kind of person are you, big shot? You shared the guide for Ten Thousand Fox Cave for free last time; you helped so many brothers!"

"Since this grandson dared to slander you like this, we had to let him know why the flowers are so red!"

Chen You's head throbbed as he listened.

What on earth was all this?

Ninjaing equipment? Parasite?

The three of them were clearly just agonizing over how to perform the prayer ceremony.

This group's ability to overthink things was even more ridiculous than the news in Florida.

Just as Chen You was about to speak and put an end to this farce, a bone-chilling cold spread out from the back of the crowd without warning.

All players, regardless of level, felt a pressure originating from the depths of their souls, making them subconsciously want to bow down.

The crowd automatically parted to both sides, creating a path.

A slender figure, with bare feet, walked forward slowly.

Her white dress was whiter than snow, her silver hair fell like a waterfall, and those indifferent eyes were cool, noble, and beyond desecration.

It was the chairman of Moon Gods Radiance, the second-ranked existence—Arrow of the Moon!

"Moon... Lady Moon God!"

"Oh my god, it's Arrow of the Moon!"

"Why is she here?"

A chorus of gasps rang out from the crowd; everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Arrow of the Moon had clearly received word from her guild members and made a special trip here.

Her cold gaze swept across the scene, finally landing on the beaten Lei Yan and his group, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

"Who told you that our equipment was ninjaed?"

Her voice was as cool as moonlight, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

When Lei Yan saw Arrow of the Moon, it was as if he had seen a savior.

In his view, he was speaking up for the three big shots; even if he got something wrong, it was out of consideration for them.

He struggled and shouted, "Chairman Arrow of the Moon! You've come at the right time! Look at these lunatics, they..."

"Shut up."

Arrow of the Moon spoke two words flatly, and the rest of Lei Yan's words immediately got stuck in his throat.

She stopped looking at Lei Yan and instead turned to the thousands of spectating players around them, saying clearly, word by word:

"First, we did not have any equipment ninjaed. Second, for this dungeon run, the three of us requested that he carry us."

Boom!

A thunderclap in a silent place.

If it was only speculation before, then Arrow of the Moon's words now proved that the most ridiculous possibility was actually the truth!

Countless players' mouths hung open in an 'O' shape, their eyes bulging as if they had heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.

What?

The top three on the rankings—Salos, Arrow of the Moon, and Oro—these three legendary figures standing at the top of the Source Realm pyramid, requested a Level 23 player to carry them through a dungeon?

Has the world gone mad?!

The last trace of color drained from Lei Yan's face.

He stared blankly at Arrow of the Moon, then at the calm and composed Chen You not far away, his mind a complete blank.

He had originally wanted to use this opportunity to see if he could climb the high branches of the Three Great Divine Races.

In the end, not only did he fail to climb up, but he also offended them!

"Also," Arrow of the Moon's gaze swept the crowd, deliberately avoiding Chen You, "why are you all blindly joining in the commotion?"

"Does his business require you to defend him in such a manner?"

Seeing this, Chen You knew it was time for him to step up.

Watching any longer would be a waste of time.

He stepped forward, lightly patted Arrow of the Moon's shoulder, and smiled. "Forget it, it's just a small matter. Everyone was doing it for my own good."

"Everyone disperse, stop fighting."

This nonchalant action and that casual sentence once again made the hearts of the surrounding players throb violently.

Look! This is the bearing of a big shot!

Even Chairman Arrow of the Moon looks like... a little sidekick in front of him?

Arrow of the Moon felt the warmth on her shoulder, and her body stiffened imperceptibly for a moment.

But she quickly relaxed, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

With both Chen You and Arrow of the Moon speaking up, this farce ended in an anticlimactic fashion.

However, what Arrow of the Moon said would not simply fade away.

It would surely spread to every corner of the Source Realm quickly and remain a hot topic among players for a long time.

Lei Yan and his companions ran off dejectedly amidst countless looks of disdain and pity.

Today, they had completely lost face.

Arrow of the Moon turned back. "I received news from my guild members and came to check things out. I didn't cause you any trouble, did I?"

"It's fine," Chen You replied casually, turning toward the dungeon NPC to see if he could continue running the dungeon.

[System Notification: The dungeon 'Colorful Land' is currently on cooldown. Estimated cooldown time: Unknown.]

As expected, he couldn't enter.

"I have some business to attend to, so I'll be going now," Chen You said to Arrow of the Moon as a way of saying goodbye.

"Okay," Arrow of the Moon replied succinctly.

Chen You didn't linger, using auto-pathing to head straight toward the Supreme Tower in Thousand Light City.

If he couldn't farm blueprints, he would continue leveling up.

He had farmed at Sharpbeak Heights for a whole day previously, mainly because he was afraid that if he came back, he wouldn't be able to open two training rooms at once, making it a wasted trip.

Now that he was back, he naturally had to go check it out.

...

Inside the Supreme Tower's lobby, it was still as magnificent as ever and completely empty.

The moment Chen You stepped inside, Hiel, dressed in a bright gown, appeared before him as if teleporting.

She wore her usual professional smile, but there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.

"My respected immortal path pioneer, at this moment of celebration in the Source Realm, you've finally arrived."

Chen You was taken aback; hearing her tone, it seemed like some good news was waiting for him?

He asked tentatively, "What? Does the Supreme Tower have anniversary activities too?"

"Of course." Hiel bowed slightly, making a 'please' gesture, elegantly guiding Chen You while smiling:

"The Source Realm's celebration belongs to everyone, but for our most distinguished guest, we have naturally prepared a unique surprise."

"Oh?" Chen You became interested. "What surprise?"

Hiel gave a mysterious smile and didn't answer directly, instead asking back: "Pioneer Excellency, do you feel that dull, repetitive combat is worthy of your noble status?"

Chen You's footsteps halted, and a surge of annoyance rose in his heart.

Now you know it's dull?

When I was farming mobs day and night, why didn't you say anything?

He remained calm on the surface and said flatly, "What are you trying to say?"

Hiel's smile became even more brilliant as she stopped before a door he had never seen before, composed of pure golden light, and spoke slowly.

"To celebrate this great moment and to give back for your outstanding contributions to the Source Realm, the Supreme Tower has specially opened for you—"

She paused, her voice suddenly rising.

The [Super Invincible Limited-Time Supreme Trial Ground]!"
