A magic cape? Interesting!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was astonished.
"Big Shot?"
"Is there some hidden professional expert here?"
"But among these few people, besides Wang Hao, this Dragon Knight, who is quite unusual, there doesn't seem to be anyone special?"
Like the others, Xia Bingxue looked at Tan Huan in surprise:
"Huanhuan, what are you talking about?"
Tan Huan, however, was full of confidence, slowly taking light steps and walking towards Li Xunle:
"Big Shot, stop pretending. I saw you make a move."
After speaking, she looked directly at Li Xunle.
Seeing this scene, Xia Bingxue was stunned, and Wang Hao and the others were even more stunned.
Even Zhao Hao on the lighthouse was a little surprised.
Chen Yuan, who was lying on the ground, slowly got up at this moment, looking at Li Xunle thoughtfully.
"Isn't he a Healer?"
"Big Shot?"
"Could it be that Tan Huan is hallucinating?"
"What Big Shot or not Big Shot?"
Li Xunle said indifferently.
He hadn't expected his move to be so subtle, yet it was still discovered.
Tan Huan's observational skills were quite something.
He thought a little more highly of Tan Huan in his heart.
It seemed that the people on the leaderboard were not to be trifled with.
Tan Huan rested her right hand on her chin, looked at Li Xunle, and said confidently:
"Don't forget, I'm an Assassin, and my observation skills are very strong."
"And then?"
"From the suspicious death of the first Stone Giant, I started to suspect you and the Swordsman on that lighthouse. So, throughout the entire process, I've been keeping an eye on both of you."
"So?"
"So I saw you make a move. The faint green halo above the Stone Giant's head, that was your masterpiece, wasn't it?"
"Uh..."
As Li Xunle was hesitating how to answer, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind:
"Ding! You have triggered a system quest. Please claim it!"
He immediately checked the system quests:
"[1. Find a reason to argue that you are not a Big Shot and persuade everyone. Completion Reward: Eloquent Little Expert Title.]"
"[2. Honestly and generously admit: 'Alright, I admit, I am indeed a hidden Big Shot. These are completely a piece of cake for me.' Completion Reward: One 1-star [Labor] Attribute Gem + 1.]"
"[3. Remain silent, act cool, and be a quiet handsome man. Completion Reward: [Beauty] Attribute Point + 1.]"
Li Xunle looked through them and directly chose the second option.
Attribute gems could be exchanged for money, valued at around 2000 Xia coins.
That so-called Eloquent Little Expert title was all nonsense.
As for the [Beauty] attribute point, he felt that a little more or a little less didn't make much difference, so it wasn't very necessary.
He cleared his throat and pretended to be profound:
"Alright, I admit, I am indeed a hidden Big Shot. These are completely a piece of cake for me!"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Tan Huan's eyes immediately lit up.
Xia Bingxue and the others were even more surprised that a Healer would dare to say such words.
They all widened their eyes, completely unable to believe it.
Even Zhao Hao on top of the lighthouse almost let go and fell down.
He thought to himself:
"This guy is really good at showing off!"
"He's not even afraid of biting his tongue by boasting."
"What if he gets exposed later, where will he put his face then?"
"Dig a hole with his toes?"
At this moment, a voice echoed in Li Xunle's mind again:
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining one 1-star [Labor] Attribute Gem."
Li Xunle checked his character inventory, and indeed, a light blue gem appeared.
A star subtly rotated on the gem.
So, a 1-star attribute gem looked like this.
It was his first time seeing a real attribute gem; he had only seen them in textbooks before, and they were clearly very different.
Li Xunle was very happy: Although he couldn't use this attribute gem himself, it was 2000 yuan!
He could sell it for money and eat something delicious.
He also didn't know why the system started giving him gems; before, it had always been [Beauty] attribute points.
They looked good but weren't practical.
On the other side, Xia Bingxue and Wang Hao and the others immediately stepped forward, speaking all at once:
"So, the first Stone Giant was your doing?"
"And those five Stone Giants afterwards were also killed by you?"
"Which means, we only killed two Stone Giants?"
"How did you, a Healer, do it?"
A series of questions made Li Xunle feel a bit overwhelmed, and he hesitated whether to answer them one by one.
At this moment, a voice echoed in his mind again:
"Ding! You have triggered another system quest. Please claim it!"
"More freebies?" He immediately checked the quest:
"[1. Coolly tell them: 'I have my own clever plans. Don't inquire too much about worldly affairs.' Completion Reward: One Level 2, 1-star Magic Cloak.]"
"[2. Patiently answer their questions one by one and be very friendly towards them. Completion Reward: A pair of School Beauty's black stockings~]"
Li Xunle looked through them, very hesitant.
Magic cloak? School Beauty's black stockings?
After much thought, he still chose option 1.
A magic cloak should be exchangeable for money... School Beauty's black stockings would be difficult to sell... Even if they could be sold, it would be hard to explain their origin...
He acted like an old sage, indifferent and aloof:
"I have my own clever plans. Don't inquire too much about worldly affairs!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent as if spellbound.
Zhao Hao laughed heartily from the side:
"Brother, you're really getting into character..."
Li Xunle raised an eyebrow, his face showing no emotion:
"You quiet down."
Zhao Hao pouted, rolled his eyes, and sat calmly on the lighthouse, voluntarily shutting up.
Li Xunle, however, happily looked at the magic cloak in his character inventory.
[Intelligence] + 8, [Beauty] + 2.
A slight smile played on his lips. "Good stuff, more money to be made."
After a while, Tan Huan was the first to speak:
"Then we won't ask anymore, but we want to team up with you. What do you think?"
Xia Bingxue pulled Tan Huan's hand, looking surprised.
Her expression seemed to be asking:
"Why did you make a decision without even discussing it?"
Tan Huan, however, gently patted Xia Bingxue's wrist, signaling her to relax.
Li Xunle raised an eyebrow, a little surprised:
"Team up? But before, we agreed to each go our own way..."
Tan Huan gave an awkward smile:
"We certainly underestimated you before, but now we hope to cooperate with you. Getting through one more stage is better than none, and ideally, we can clear the dungeon."
"Cooperate? Clear the dungeon?"
"Yes." Tan Huan nodded with certainty.
"Clear the dungeon? Who gave you that confidence?" Li Xunle was puzzled.
Had she seen something?
Meanwhile, Xia Bingxue, Wang Hao, and the others were all very confused. Could adding a Healer really mean they could clear the dungeon?
The first stage was already so difficult, and there were nine more stages... They felt that in the next stage, they might even lose members.
Although this Healer had dealt with a few Stone Giants, talking about clearing the dungeon seemed as difficult as ascending to heaven, didn't it?
What was his basis?
Hell Difficulty Dungeon was no joke; its difficulty was evident from the very first stage.
"Unity is strength, right? Dreams are still necessary; what if a miracle happens?"
Tan Huan spread her hands.
Li Xunle pondered for a moment, frowned, and shook his head:
"I don't want to team up with you."
"Why?" Tan Huan was puzzled.
"This way, all the dropped items will belong to me, and I can sell them for money!"
