32: Chapter 32 Lance and Zhu Tongchen: You beasts!

A piercing screech, as if coming from the depths of a nightmare, rang in their ears.

The vortex surged, swallowing the figures of Lu Yang and the other four.

A deep red light flickered on the surface of the vortex, and a skull symbol slowly emerged.

Shangguan Yunshu and Blake stood outside the dungeon entrance, watching the five figures disappear into the vortex.

Blake withdrew his gaze and asked with some curiosity: "Commander, the difficulty of this dungeon is much higher than the novice dungeon. Can Lu Yang and the others clear it on the first try?"

Shangguan Yunshu glanced at him and said softly: "Yes."

Her tone was calm, yet filled with a matter-of-course certainty.

With Lu Yang's terrifying talent, it would be unreasonable if he couldn't clear it.

Blake glanced at Shangguan Yunshu with some surprise.

He had known their commander for quite a while, and it was the first time he had seen her have such confidence in a newcomer.

However, towards his commander, Blake felt a heartfelt admiration.

Like the vast majority of members in the Dawn Pioneering Team, he had followed the commander into the pioneering team.

They had also witnessed with their own eyes the commander leading the pioneering team to continuously conquer one extremely difficult dungeon after another.

In his view, there was nothing their commander could not do.

Since she trusted Lu Yang, Lu Yang would definitely be able to do it.

...

When the red light slowly faded from their vision, the nightmarish screech that seemed to originate from the depths of the Soul also dissipated.

Lu Yang's vision cleared up once again.

What met his eyes was a dim cave.

The air was humid and stuffy, carrying a mixed smell of soil and mold that stuck clingily to his nasal cavity.

The rock wall overhead was neither too high nor too low, roughly eight or nine meters, with a few grayish-brown stalactites hanging from it. Water droplets slowly gathered along the tips of the stones, occasionally dripping down and splashing against the rocks on the ground.

The surrounding rock walls were rough and damp, their surfaces covered in dark green moss that gleamed with a chilling luster under the faint, source-unknown dim light deep within the cave.

The location where they stood was an open area with a radius of about a hundred meters, with a relatively flat ground covered in a layer of fine gravel and gray soil.

Right behind them was the dungeon exit.

A light door similarly shimmering with silver-white light was identical in shape to the entrance, only the direction of the light patterns was reversed.

If a professional felt they could not delve deeper, they could directly leave the dungeon through the exit and fight again later.

Shen Qingci and Rebecca had already changed into their equipment at this moment.

The equipment on the two of them was completely different from when they entered the novice welfare dungeon yesterday.

Shen Qingci's robe was a set of dark blue loose robes, soft yet heavy in texture, embossed with strands of ice-blue rune patterns that flickered on and off, emitting a faint blue dim light.

The staff in her hand had turned into a white metal staff, slender and delicate in shaft, with a fist-sized blue crystal floating at the tip, and the entire staff exuding a faint white cold mist.

Rebecca had changed into a set of heavy white full-body battle armor. The plate armor was polished as smooth as a mirror, still reflecting a soft metallic luster under the dim light of the cave.

The top of the helmet had a few sharp spikes, and the faceplate enveloped her bright and moving pretty face, revealing only a pair of deep blue eyes with a hint of aggressiveness, shining in the dark like two cold stars.

In her left hand, she held a golden half-shield, thick and sturdy, with a sun rune emitting a light golden halo engraved on the front. In her right hand, she held a golden longsword, its blade also flowing with sun patterns, and every single pattern was slightly flickering.

The equipment of these two people was obviously quite good, and from head to toe, the style was unified with echoing patterns, making it look like a set.

This made Lu Yang's mouth twitch involuntarily.

He had originally thought his equipment was already good enough, but he didn't expect it to still be quite a bit worse compared to these two heavy-spending players.

He had also changed into his equipment.

He was now level 9. Except for the hand of kezhi, which was legendary equipment, everything else was level 9 fine equipment dropped by undead bosses, presenting an overall dark bone-colored theme.

This set of equipment brought him quite a few stats, coupled with his own current stats.

His Health points reached 418, his Attack Power reached 144, and his Defense reached a terrifying 90 points!

However, when Shen Qingci and Rebecca saw the equipment on Lu Yang, they both frowned slightly.

There were very few runes on this equipment, and there was no spiritual light either.

Clearly, it was not legendary-tier equipment.

Rebecca was quite straightforward and immediately spoke: "Lu Yang, later I will gift you a set of legendary-tier warrior equipment."

Shen Qingci: "???? "

She had originally been thinking about this matter as well, but she hesitated a bit and didn't say it out loud directly, because she was afraid that directly offering to gift equipment to Lu Yang might hurt Lu Yang's self-esteem.

She originally thought that after going back, she would chat with Lu Yang and give him the legendary equipment in a gentler way.

As a result, she didn't expect that Rebecca actually planned to gift him legendary equipment too?!

What does this mean?

Could Rebecca like Lu Yang?

Her heart tightened, she frowned, turned to look at Rebecca, and her tone carried an unconscious alertness: "Rebecca, why are you gifting equipment to classmate Lu Yang? Are you and him that close?"

Rebecca was startled for a moment and glanced at Shen Qingci.

As good best friends, Rebecca knew Shen Qingci far too well.

As soon as she made a move, she knew what she was up to.

Shen Qingci was jealous.

She lifted her heroic eyebrows, glanced at Lu Yang, and smiled: "Lu Yang and I are good friends. Last night, I chatted with Lu Yang until very late. The two of us felt like we met too late! Seeing a good friend wear such a set of equipment, I naturally have to help out."

When Lance and Zhu Tongchen heard this, their eyes turned green with envy.

The equipment on them was no better than Lu Yang's!

It might even be a bit worse!

Gift them a set too!

When Shen Qingci heard this, she instantly narrowed her eyes.

She turned her head and looked at Lu Yang, a trace of resentment flashing through her pure and bright eyes: "I was also chatting with Lu Yang last night, and we also chatted until very late."

Hearing this, the smile on Rebecca's face froze.

She slowly turned her head, gazed gloomily at Lu Yang, the corners of her mouth curling into a half-smile arc, and said word by word: "Is that so? Lu Yang... your typing speed is quite fast!"

Lance and Zhu Tongchen on the side instantly widened their eyes, looking at Lu Yang with shocked expressions.

Damn it!

You beast!

Two such stunning beauties, yet this guy was actually playing two boats at once?!

Now he's crashed, hasn't he?!

Lance and Zhu Tongchen felt a bit gloating in their hearts.

As youths in the prime of their hormonal awakening, seeing two such beautiful and moving girls, they naturally felt some palpitations in their hearts.

Yet these two great beauties actually chatted all night with this scoundrel Lu Yang?!

And they even said they chatted very happily??

Their hearts were almost dead.

Now seeing Lu Yang crash, they were naturally happy to see it happen.

If these two great beauties had their hearts broken, perhaps they could offer some warm concern and then take advantage of the opening?

Isn't this an opportunity?!

Lu Yang was still a bit dazed right now.

In his mind, he was still thinking about what Rebecca had said.

Holy crap... A full set of legendary equipment!

How much would that cost?!

Just gifting it like that??

What kind of fairy sugar mommy is this?!

Could it be that he, Lu, was about to eat some delicious soft-rice?

However, hearing Rebecca and Shen Qingci's subsequent words, and seeing the obviously angry looks in both of their eyes, Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Chatting with two people at the same time, did they have Life Qi?

Shen Qingci bit her red lips and spoke: "Lu Yang, aren't you going to explain?"

Rebecca crossed her arms, her right boot sole tapping pat-pat-pat against the ground, and the dark blue eyes behind her faceplate revealed unhappiness, staring at Lu Yang until his back felt a bit chilled.

Although Lu Yang didn't understand girls very well, he could still tell that they definitely had some Life Qi.

But he was no love saint, so naturally he didn't know how he should coax them in this situation.

Thoughts flew through his mind, and after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to tell the truth.

He gave a dry cough, cleared his throat, and said with a serious expression: "Last night I really was chatting with the two of you together. Mainly because I like both of you very much, so I chatted with you together."

Shen Qingci: "???? "

Rebecca: "???? "

The expressions of the two froze as they looked at Lu Yang with a serious expression in disbelief.

Their minds went completely blank.

What kind of words was this fellow saying?!

Likes both??

And just chatted together?

For a moment, they didn't even know how to respond to these words.

On one hand, Lu Yang said he liked them, so naturally their hearts felt a little delighted.

After all, Lu Yang was handsome, his talent was strong, and his future was boundless.

When chatting yesterday, they really did chat quite happily.

Although Lu Yang was sometimes a bit of a straight man, he would straightforwardly express his appreciation for them and very earnestly praise their excellent points.

Most importantly, when Lu Yang praised them, he was very sincere, not using perfunctory polite words, but truly feeling that way in his heart.

As young maidens, being praised by such an outstanding peer, they naturally felt a bit smug and proud in their hearts.

However, this slick operation of chatting with both together and having them both chat so happily made the faces of the two almost turn black.

Lance and Zhu Tongchen on the side looked at Lu Yang with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Holy shit...

Is there anyone else who isn't afraid of death?!

Things have already crashed to this extent, and you actually directly admit to it?!

And what kind of fierce and wolfish words are these?!

What do you mean you like both??

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit too quiet, Lu Yang scratched his head and spoke: "Let's clear the dungeon first, business comes first."

Shen Qingci and Rebecca came back to their senses.

Hearing this, their complexions darkened by another few shades.

What is the meaning of this?!

Explaining to them isn't considered business??

But they simply had no way to refute it.

Because clearing the dungeon for the first time truly was serious business.

Lady Shangguan was still waiting for them outside!

Shen Qingci bit her red lips, gripped the staff in her hand, and gave a light hmph: "Got it!"

Rebecca clicked her tongue, gripped her sword and shield, glared at Lu Yang, and said: "After going back, you better explain this clearly to me!"

Seeing that the two didn't say anything more, Lu Yang instantly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Alright, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Lance and Zhu Tongchen looked at each other, somewhat incredulous.

The way they looked at Lu Yang again was as if they were looking at an immortal.

No... Is it over just like that?

Where is the firewood chopper?

Why isn't this beast being chopped up??

They're letting him off just like that??

A Shura field that had already crashed can actually be calmed down like this?!

Could this fellow... be the legendary love saint?!
