Chapter 93

Putting the plan to go offline on hold, Yang Ye answered the voice request from Sakura Rain —

"Hey, President Sakura Rain!" Yang Ye greeted first, acting as if they were very familiar.

"Hello, Great Expert." A pleasant voice came from the other side.

"Is there something? Need me to make equipment? I'm not doing that for now." Great Expert? Referring to me? Yang Ye thought, but in an instant, he thought of the Dragon Chaser Song, that grandson...

"Not really, where would there be so much equipment for you to make? You're only level 35, and you haven't even changed your equipment yet."

"Then what?"

"I want you to join me in a dungeon."

"Tell me more."

"A level 35 dungeon, Deep Freeze Pond, do you know it?" Sakura Rain asked.

Yang Ye knew a little about Deep Freeze Pond, but he hadn't gone there yet, as he had just reached level 35. Deep Freeze Pond is a level 35 dungeon, and it's special because it's underwater, meaning it's an underwater dungeon.

You see, land-based dungeons are already scarce, let alone underwater dungeons. When players rushed over to clear it, they immediately cried out in frustration, cursing the game.

Why?

Because underwater, not only do you need a prop to allow your character to breathe underwater, but you also need to attack underwater. There's a water current effect, which is very frustrating, but the game indeed added this feature. So players must adapt to a new attack mode, or get used to the attack rhythm underwater. It sounds easy, but it's hard to do, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many players cursing.

However, this novel dungeon also attracted a large number of players to explore. In the first few days after the dungeon opened, Moon Creek Valley was almost overwhelmed.

Hmm? Why Moon Creek Valley?

This is another special aspect of this dungeon — it only exists in Moon Creek Valley.

Yes. Compared to dungeons like Werewolf Plague, which are available in all major cities, Deep Freeze Pond is more attractive. On one hand, it's a new dungeon, which is interesting; on the other hand, you can go to other major cities to enjoy the scenery. Besides, Moon Creek Valley is the city with the most female players in "TTOS"!

The game company also considered making players move between major cities, to prevent them from staying in one place. They specifically set up this dungeon. Another aspect is that teleportation costs money, and the game can recover game currency through this method, to avoid any major issues.

Deep Freeze Pond indeed amazed the players, but also frustrated them. What's frustrating? They can't pass it!

Deep Freeze Pond has three elite monsters and one boss. Currently, players have only explored two of the elite monsters, the first and the second. The first is a giant tadpole, which is easy to beat, and most teams can pass it. The second is a loach, yes, a slippery loach, not only is its body slippery, but its skills are also disgustingly slippery. It has a skill that makes it hide in a cave, and it won't come out no matter what. The cave entrance is small, only one person can fit, and the question is, who goes in?

If a tank goes in, there's no damage output, and it can't be killed; if a damage dealer goes in, they can't take the hits, and the healer can't keep up.

But it won't come out!

The cave entrance can't be destroyed, and mage skills can't reach inside. Archers can shoot a few arrows at an angle, but it's not effective.

Yang Ye thought for a moment and guessed that Sakura Rain probably came for the loach?

"Loach?" Yang Ye asked.

"Yep, it won't come out. I called you to see if you can pull it out." Sakura Rain knew about Yang Ye's skills, one of which can pull targets, but she wasn't sure if it would work. Anyway, it's worth a try.

"Okay, no guarantees. When should I come over?" Yang Ye agreed. He had to go back to school in a few days and would be busy with other things, so he didn't have much time for large tasks. A dungeon to clear is still fine.

"10 AM tomorrow." Sakura Rain thought for a moment and set a time.

"Alright."

He went offline.

Yang Ye held a bowl of reheated white rice, topped with a few pieces of meat and some cabbage, and ate it quickly. Then, with a light step, he wandered into Qin Yan's room.

Qin Yan was writing something. Hearing the rustling sound behind her, she immediately turned her small face and said, "Brother Xiaoye, I've told you many times, eat properly and don't run around while eating!"

Yang Ye plopped down on a small chair next to Qin Yan, chewed a few times, and mumbled, "Okay."

Qin Yan was helpless, turned back, and continued writing.

Yang Ye stared at Qin Yan's side face, eating while looking.

At first, Qin Yan didn't mind, but after a while, she frowned, gritted her teeth, her body trembled, her chest heaved, and her breathing became heavy...

"Brother Xiaoye, why are you staring at me?" Qin Yan asked. Speaking of which, she felt much braver now. In the past, if Yang Ye did this, she would definitely blush.

"Beautiful and delicious." Yang Ye continued staring at Qin Yan's face, tsk, this face... these eyes... this nose... this mouth... this fair and smooth skin, he really wanted to bite.

He took a big bite of the dish.

Yang Ye's words made Qin Yan's initial confidence instantly disappear, and she blushed, saying, "What are you talking about..."

After finishing the last bite, Yang Ye licked his lips and smiled, "What are you writing?"

"I won't tell you, go away, go away!" Qin Yan covered the paper on the table, not letting Yang Ye see.

Girls like to write all sorts of things, never mind, I won't look.

After dinner, Yang Ye returned to his room, took a shower, and fell asleep until morning.

After breakfast, Yang Ye logged back in. According to the previous agreement, after replenishing the shop's consumption, he teleported from the central teleportation array in Rainfall City to Moon Creek Valley.

Moon Creek Valley is located on the western side, a bit further west is the Western Tower Domain, and to the east is Ancient Tree City. The relationship between the ten major cities and Dragon City is like a large anchor, with Dragon City at the top and the ten major cities at the bottom, forming a fan shape. Moon Creek Valley is on the far left of the anchor.

The scenery in Moon Creek Valley is very unique. The sun is visible for a very short time, while the moon is visible for a very long time. A small stream runs through the center of the city, a very narrow stream that an adult can cross in two steps. However, this small stream flows year-round without a flood or dry season, and it remains calm all year. Combined with the unique day and night cycle of Moon Creek Valley, the stream under the moonlight is as gentle and beautiful as moonlight, hence the name Moon Creek.

The local residents believe that the stream flows from the moon, and children who grow up drinking the water from Moon Creek will be more beautiful and healthy. Some curious people have tried to trace the stream upstream, but none have succeeded, all dying halfway.

If you want to go to the moon, this path is not easy, the residents say.

Regardless of the meaning, whether the water really flows from the moon or not, as the residents say, the residents of Moon Creek Valley are the most beautiful among the ten major cities, with women naturally beautiful and men handsome. This is why there are fewer male players than female players here. Men don't care about natural scenery, let alone the heart-stopping handsome NPC, which is less exciting than the strange costumes in Ancient Tree City.

But girls don't think so, which is why Moon Creek Valley is now predominantly female.

Yang Ye had no interest in admiring the groups of beautiful girls on the street. Following the directions, he came to a lake outside Moon Creek Valley, formed by another stream. At this moment, it was already crowded, with various voices mingling, creating a lively atmosphere —

"Freshly minted level 35 silver bow, super strong attributes, interested parties PM me! Black-skinned reporter, get lost."

"Deep Freeze Pond needs a powerful healer! Need a strong healer, almost passed the loach last time, must get the first kill this time!"

"Deep Freeze Pond, need a strong tank, bring defensive attributes, weaklings stay away."

"5000 HP super tank warrior, looking for a Deep Freeze Pond team, strong teams pull me, already cleared the tadpole."

...

In any game, such shouts are common. Even with a team system, people still like to shout, and it feels uncomfortable not to. Pulling out his communicator, Yang Ye called Sakura Rain —

"President Sakura Rain, where are you? I'm here."

Sakura Rain replied quickly, just as he sent the message, a reply came: "We're here, coordinates 1342644:3379532:9."

Following the coordinates, Yang Ye walked directly to the target.

After just a few steps, Yang Ye saw the familiar Sakura Rain. She was still dressed in a tight outfit, showing off her figure, making people's blood boil. Next to her was a healer, a flat-chested girl. A flat-chested healer? Next to the healer stood a mage, a woman in a light blue robe, a water mage.

Behind the four, Yang Ye saw an even more familiar figure.

Smiling slightly, Yang Ye walked over quickly.

"Hey, you're here, look, this is Promise of Battle!" Sakura Rain introduced with a smile.

The team had five people in total. Apart from Yang Ye, Sakura Rain, and the familiar person, there were two new friends. Sakura Rain's words were directed at these two.

Yang Ye walked closer, smiled, and nodded at them, acknowledging them. Then, without being pretentious, Sakura Rain introduced her people one by one.

Pointing to the woman in the light blue robe, Sakura said, "Lotus." Then pointing to the other, "Apricot."

Without much explanation, Yang Ye understood. Water Mage Lotus, a more mature woman than Sakura Rain, smiled at Yang Ye, looking at him like a sister would look at a brother, or even like a mother would look at a son! Healer Apricot, the flat-chested priestess, was younger, reportedly just an adult.

The last person was a man, an old friend —

Nightfall.
