【Your teammate Shi Lei has left the instance.】
【Your teammate Ye Xingli has left the instance.】
She really left.
And the Lady Venomous Spider in front of them had only 1% of her health remaining.
The few people immediately became anxious.
“Captain, what should we do?”
“Attack, is there even a need to ask?”
Their team had two mages and an archer, could they not deal with 1% of a spider?
The three of them started to output damage, but Lady Venomous Spider crawled rapidly on the spider web, reaching a white spider cocoon and slurp.
The liquid inside entered its mouth, and its health rapidly recovered.
One minute later.
Lady Venomous Spider's health went from 1% to 2%.
“No, we can’t let her stay on the spider web. We need to destroy the spider web and make her come down, otherwise she’ll heal infinitely,” the archer shouted.
“Quick, burn the spider silk.”
It wasn't easy to burn the Spider Queen's spider silk, but fortunately, both mages had Fire elemental magic. They continuously cast it at the spider silk, and only then did they manage to burn one down.
As one strand broke, the spider web immediately contracted, its area shrinking by more than half.
But after burning the parts below, more than half of the spider web was still hanging on the skyscraper.
“We need to go upstairs, go upstairs and burn the topmost ones.”
The two mages split up and headed for the skyscraper. They took the elevator to the 60th floor and burned down two spider silks.
However, they wasted a full 6 minutes. The Spider Queen's health had already recovered to 13%.
“It’s okay, 13% is fine. With our speed, it will only take 13 minutes. I can hold on.”
Lin Hou calmed his mind.
After the spider silk broke, the Spider Queen immediately fell from the spider web on the 60th floor. Her massive body crashed down, and an immense fall damage was dealt.
This fall actually knocked off 10% of her health.
Only 3% remained.
“Haha, heaven helps me!”
“3%, quick, follow me! Just three more minutes and we can kill her.”
Lin Hou took the lead.
The Spider Queen’s massive body was a considerable visual deterrent to humans.
Moreover, the archer and mages had attacked the Spider Queen first. Lin Hou hadn't had a chance to build up aggro and draw her attention.
“Pfft!”
A white spider web was sprayed out, instantly enveloping the archer.
The archer was stuck.
At this moment, the Fire mages needed to go burn the spider silk, but the two mages were in the skyscraper taking the elevator and hadn't come down.
“Captain, save me!”
The archer shouted.
Lin Hou’s speed was too slow, he couldn’t possibly catch up to Lady Venomous Spider, he couldn’t even use taunt.
“No!”
Lady Venomous Spider dashed straight to the archer’s location, instantly spewing a mouthful of venom, melting the archer into a pool of sticky blood.
She crouched down and slurped the liquid into her body.
Her health recovered to 4%.
Just then, Lin Hou finally managed to taunt Lady Venomous Spider, but her damage was terrifying. He could clearly feel his health rapidly decreasing.
“Healer, heal harder!”
“I’m healing, Captain, I can barely keep up.”
“Four minutes, hold on for four minutes!”
Unfortunately, he miscalculated. They had lost an archer. Dealing with the monster now wouldn't take just four minutes.
“Right, there’s still one student who hasn’t quit. You there, hurry up and get out here, help us fight the monster, or we’ll all die.”
Lin Hou shouted in the team chat.
At this moment, Wang Feng, who was hiding in the train station, struggled internally, then gritted his teeth and rushed out.
What if the final blow was his? He was an assassin, good at snatching kills.
But by the time he ran over, Lin Hou had already been pierced through by Lady Venomous Spider with a *splatter*.
Health emptied!
And the others couldn’t withstand even one hit from Lady Venomous Spider.
The Healer fell!
The mages fell, the second mage died.
Only Wang Feng was left.
And the Spider Queen had only 1% health remaining.
“Ah, die for me!”
Wang Feng roared and slashed down with his dagger.
【Dodge】
The Spider Queen’s massive body was surprisingly agile. Wang Feng was just a level 9 assassin. His agility wasn't enough. How could he hit the Spider Queen’s leg?
In the next moment, the Spider Queen also sprayed its silk…
Chapter 32: Ye Xingli Leads a Team to Level Up, Business is Booming
Instance Plaza.
【Destruction of Gran City Train Station】 Instance Entrance.
Wu Yue, Yuè Zǐháo, and Shí Lěi appeared at the instance entrance together.
When they looked around and didn't see Wang Feng, Wu Yue frowned in dissatisfaction.
“Wang Feng didn’t come out. As expected, he wanted to grab the BOSS.”
Before she could complain,
Another person was teleported out in front of her – it was Ye Xingli.
“Ah! Classmate Ye, you’re out too? You were kicked out, just as I thought.”
Ye Xingli nodded, not mentioning that she had voluntarily withdrawn.
Shí Lěi said in a slow, honest voice, “That Wang Feng is quite wicked. He didn’t come out, he must have voted to kick you.”
Ye Xingli raised an eyebrow.
There was still one person who hadn't come out?
Then, he was probably not doing well.
However, Ye Xingli felt no guilt. If they hadn't been greedy, they wouldn’t have died.
Yuè Zǐháo, however, thought of something and asked, “At what boss HP percentage were you kicked out?”
“1%,” Ye Xingli said.
“If I had known you wouldn’t be fighting, 1%… these guys would have definitely taken down the BOSS,” Wu Yue said angrily.
Ye Xingli didn't refute. In fact, after entering the instance, the output, defense, and movement speed of these people were all unconsciously calculated by her.
She could even roughly deduce the talent abilities of the two mages and had tested the archer.
This was all from strategy collection; there was absolutely no intention of knowing these people's abilities beforehand.
But,
Who could have imagined that it would eventually become a means to trap them?
With the BOSS at 1% HP, with the output of three people, success was absolutely impossible. If they hadn't been greedy and had also left the instance, they wouldn't have died.
“Are you guys still going to run instances? 100,000, I can lead you through an instance, including the BOSS. It will be done within 2 hours, and the materials will be yours,” Ye Xingli said.
She had also figured it out.
Since joining other teams carried risks,
Why didn't she form her own team!
Moreover, she could lead others.
Charging 100,000 per person, 9 people would be 900,000. 500,000 was for the entry fee, and the remaining 400,000 was pure profit.
And the materials found in the 【Destruction of Gran City Train Station】 instance were only worth about five to six hundred thousand. It was so large and the items were messy, wasting time.
She could completely lead people through the instance and then not search for materials.
By giving up searching for materials, she gained more time, allowing her to run more instances.
From this perspective, this method was clearly more efficient.
Yuè Zǐháo was the first to shout, “I’ll do it.”
Ye Xingli formed a team with him.
Shí Lěi rubbed his head, looking regretful.
“I’m out of money!”
“Idiot, borrow some money! If a big shot is leading, you should follow. If the materials are ours, we can get some by searching, and might even make back the cost!” Wu Yue immediately joined the team.
Shí Lěi thought it made sense and also joined the team, likely having borrowed money.
It was Ye Xingli’s first time being a paid booster. Fortunately, she didn't have to shout for clients herself. She used the communication device's projection function, edited text and voice, and broadcast it above her head.
【Mythical Beast Summoner recruiting teammates, 100,000 Star Coins per slot, instance cleared in 2 hours, materials go to the boss, 4 = 6.】
As soon as the message was broadcast, people around immediately looked over.
Upon seeing Ye Xingli's Silver Equipment and the humanoid summoned beast beside her, they naturally believed her accounts.
But there were also doubts.
“2 hours? Can you really clear the instance in 2 hours? You’re not a scammer, are you?”
“Wait, why do you all look so young? You’re only level 11. Are the others also S-Class?”
“Do you have a team clear record? Let me see.”
There were questions, but few joined.
This was why Ye Xingli had randomly formed a team before, seeking convenience.
Recruiting people wasn't a simple task.
Just then, a few classmates from Third Middle School had their eyes light up.
“Classmate Ye Xingli, add me, I can do it.”
These students from Third Middle School were naturally those who were eliminated early in the last assessment.
In Ziguang City, students from Fifth Middle School and below found the last assessment very difficult, and some would even give up the exam.
However, there were still those who were unwilling to give up and wanted to use their money to improve.
If it were a day earlier, Ye Xingli coming here to lead a team would definitely have been more popular.
There were many who crammed at the last minute.
Of course, it wasn't bad now either.
Especially since these classmates who failed the assessment from Third Middle School had seen Ye Xingli's clear record.
Ye Xingli had only used 4 hours for an instance that originally took 20 hours.
As for the Lady Venomous Spider instance, could it really be done in 2 hours?
They had a phase of blind confidence in Ye Xingli.
Could the school beauty really scam them?
What she said must be the truth.
This was actually one of the effects of high Charm Value.
It made people believe her more and generate goodwill.
Ye Xingli quickly filled the team with six people.
Not only that, but these people were also showing off in the school group chat.
【Classmate Ye Xingli is working so hard, it’s already past midnight and she’s still at the instance entrance. Fortunately, I’m also too unskilled to sleep and came to try hard, and caught up with her team.】
【Just formed a team with the school beauty, do not disturb.】
【100,000 Star Coins, joined the school beauty’s team, said to clear the instance in 2 hours, see you in the instance after 2 hours.】
Instantly, those who were still awake at midnight came to the Instance Plaza to watch the fun. Many also waited for news in the group chat, wanting to watch the school beauty stream the instance.
……
【Enter 【Destruction of Gran City Train Station】 with team? Yes/No.】
“Enter.”
Ye Xingli led the entire team into the instance.
As soon as they entered, Ye Jue launched an attack, and instantly, all spiders outside the buildings were killed by him.
Speed was of the essence.
The car doors opened.
Outside, there were all spider corpses, and visibly, these corpses were being “refreshed,” fading little by little, becoming transparent, and then disappearing.
The new classmates exclaimed.
“Ah! The experience is so fast!”
“Classmate Ye Xingli truly lives up to her S-Class Talent, she’s too strong.”
“Is this the mythical beast? As expected, circumstances change. Don’t bully the poor young man.”
“Lu Chenyu and the others must be regretting it to death!”
“I checked before my assessment. Their instance progress wasn’t high. Will they fail this time?”
“Now, our Third Middle School’s undisputed number one must be classmate Ye.”
Ye Xingli didn't pay attention to this flattery.
A day ago, these people weren't saying the same things.
Of course, those who might have spoken ill of her and those praising her might not be the same group.
But these external voices couldn't stop her progress.
“Follow me, let’s go to the waiting room. There are still over six thousand spiders.”
The other nine people didn't hesitate and followed.
This time, the clearing was even faster than last time.
Pushing through all the way, the group finally exited the train station and arrived directly below the skyscraper.
Ye Jue began to output damage to the BOSS.
In just a few minutes, Lady Venomous Spider’s health was completely depleted, and she fell from the spider web.
【You have killed Lady Venomous Spider.】
【You have obtained Lady Venomous Spider’s Dress Hem Skirt (Silver Equipment)】
Chapter 33: Assessment Ends, This is the Treatment of an All-S-Class Team
【Lady Venomous Spider’s Dress Hem Skirt (Silver Equipment)】
Defense +480
Constitution +30, Agility +90, Spirit +100
Special Effects: Spider Silk Protection, Dexterous Silkiness, Summoning Enhancement.
Note: Can only be worn by females.】
Special effects that were duplicated would be enhanced by an additional level.
Level 2 effects were naturally much stronger than Level 1.
Of course, some parts had different effects.
Therefore, even for set pieces, some parts were very expensive.
Ye Xingli didn't expect to be so lucky to get a set piece on her first BOSS kill.
This time, she naturally didn't plan to sell it.
Instead, she put it on herself.
Instantly, over the slit of the dress, Ye Xingli now had an exaggerated, hooped cake skirt.
What was most marvelous was that as Ye Xingli moved, the hem not only didn't hinder her actions but was very flowing. This was the special effect of Dexterous Silkiness.
Many pieces of equipment now have these attributes that seem not to increase combat power but feel very reasonable.
Ye Xingli didn't focus on the skirt for long before seeing a new message.
【You have cleared the instance. Clear time: 1 hour 38 minutes 23 seconds.】
【Save current record? Current clearing team: Şafağı Parçalayın.】
“Save.”
Alright, the fourth instance record has also been saved.
However, this instance could still be run many more times, not only to gain experience and increase Ye Jue's strength but also to earn Charm Value to appease Ye Jue.
Although, in her opinion, Ye Jue had already become human-like.
But spending Charm Value still gave her a reward every time.
What a truly, truly considerate contracted beast.
“Okay, instance cleared. You guys stay and search! I’ll help you burn the spider webs. Leave the train.”
Actually, without the train, it was only a 10-kilometer walk, which for a professional was just a matter of time.
“Thank you, classmate Ye. Oh, right, classmate Ye, I sent you some good stuff. You can read it when you rest!”
Wu Yue winked.
Ye Xingli was also very curious. She opened her friend list and found that the other party had sent some text data.
Instantly, her eyes widened.
【The domineering divine pet loves me: Spoiled for eternity.】
【My days with a human-like pet beast.】
【I’m a summoner, isn’t it reasonable to summon a few husbands?】
Oh, this!
Ye Xingli suddenly realized.
No wonder she always felt Wu Yue was a bit overly enthusiastic and kept sneaking glances at her with a smile. She had even suspected Wu Yue was gay.
After all, with her high Charm Value, being liked was normal, and she was prone to encountering perverted suitors.
She didn’t expect Wu Yue didn’t like her, but was shipping this real-life CP!
Cough, cough, before going to sleep tonight, she must criticize these books thoroughly.
Ye Xingli calmly closed her friend list and went to the gas station, collecting two barrels of gasoline.
Gasoline is a common item in survival and road instances. One liter of gasoline costs 100 Star Coins. One barrel of gasoline is 30 liters, so two barrels are 6000 Star Coins.
A simple task.
Ye Xingli asked Ye Jue to take out some rags collected from space, tie them into torches, soak them in gasoline, and light them on fire.
Waving the torches, she dispersed the spider webs on the railway.
Afterward, she was teleported by Ye Jue ten kilometers away, then walked into an instance exit vortex.
She emerged.
Outside the instance.
More young faces appeared.
“They’re out, they’re really out!”
“Whoa, that was too fast? But why is only Ye Xingli out? Where are the others? Didn’t they die inside?”
“I saw on the friend list they’re still in the instance, not dead.”
“They’re collecting materials, this is very profitable. Even if there are only four to five hundred thousand worth of materials in the instance, if each person collects fifty thousand, it’s equivalent to just paying the entry fee to clear the train station instance.”
“These guys are really stupid. If it were me, I’d rather give up the materials and follow the school beauty. Judging by the school beauty’s appearance, she’ll be going all night. If she runs it 10 times tonight, she’ll be at least level 11. Level 11! A higher level gives bonus points for the college entrance exam.”
“Stop talking, school beauty Ye has started recruiting.”
Ye Xingli posted another advertisement, and instantly, the application list was full.
Ye Xingli selected the nine people who applied first, then stated the requirements, and entered the instance again.
After clearing the instance this time, five people decided not to collect materials and said they wanted to continue running instances with her.
Ye Xingli naturally agreed happily.
Wu Yue and the others also came out of the instance, hoping to book the next ride.
So Ye Xingli led them again.
……
Time flew by until 4 AM.
In Third Middle School.
Teams appeared on the plaza from time to time; these were teams after the instance assessment.
At this moment, five people appeared on the plaza.
Their expressions were not good.
In the last, very important assessment, they only scored 100 points.
“It’s okay, Captain. Our scores were high in previous assessments, and we have many team instance records. It’s okay to make a mistake this time. At worst, with our strength, we can still be recommended to Ziguang University.”
The problem was Ziguang University, wasn't it?
With their original grades, they could have gotten into Rainbow University in Rainbow Bridge City.
“That’s right. And we wasted some time this time, so naturally other teams did too. The instance difficulty is equivalent, maybe other people’s scores aren’t good either. Let’s look at the total scores!”
Bai Qiangwei looked up at the team rankings.
Then, her pupils contracted in shock.
Rank 1: Şafağı Parçalayın, Members: Ye Xingli, Score: 220.
Twice as high as her own team.
This…
Bai Qiangwei began to doubt her life.
Before Ye Xingli left, Şafak Kılıcı was the undisputed number one.
After Ye Xingli left, Şafak Kılıcı was now… ranked 34th in the entire grade!
Who was weak was clear at a glance!
What she found most unacceptable was that
She had left Gül Işığı, and yet this team had advanced six places in this assessment, currently ranking 5th.
Bai Qiangwei was going crazy.
Why weren't they this strong when she was there?
“No, that’s not right. They knew the strategy, and this time it was just a fluke. As for Ye Xingli, it’s definitely because of that summoned beast. If the college entrance exam had different questions, she might not have such a high score.”
Just then, Han Nuan walked over.
“Classmate Lu Chenyu, you’re out of the instance. Let’s go back and rest!”
