Chapter 61

In the suite of a high-end apartment, Guanya sat on the bed, hugging her knees, with a tablet in front of her playing an urban romance drama.

After being messed with by Yuanshi, she couldn't sleep and couldn't focus on the TV drama. She sat there for five or six hours, her buttocks aching.

"Ah," Guanya pinched her brow, her beautiful face showing a hint of fatigue.

With her constitution, she could stay awake for two days and two nights without any issues, but mainly she was troubled. Previously, when she read forum posts about someone dying in a dungeon, she would merely sigh at the unpredictability of fate.

But unexpectedly, a friend close to her was also caught up in the turmoil, with an uncertain fate.

To be honest, Guanya really liked that boy. He was good-looking, young, and had great potential. He was also humorous and witty, and the more she saw him, the more she liked him.

Most importantly, he knew how to rev up the engine.

In the second team, Wang Tai was a quiet type, and Li Dongze considered himself elegant, thinking that telling dirty jokes was not something a gentleman should do. Only Yuanshi could tolerate her尺度 (尺度 means "degree" or "boundary" in this context, referring to her level of openness or boldness) and even took it to the next level.

But such an interesting young guy was likely to fail this time.

Guanya hadn't experienced an S-level dungeon, but she had a cousin in her family who was exceptionally talented. This cousin had matched with S-level dungeons several times during the Extraordinary and Saint stages, each time facing dangerous situations. She had detailed the difficulty of S-level dungeons.

Different S-level dungeons tested different areas. Passing one S-level dungeon didn't mean you could pass the second, as everyone has their weaknesses, and there are no all-round geniuses.

Yuanshi could handle the Red Shoes by relying on his strong memory (as he claimed), but this ability might not work in the Gold Water Amusement Park.

Guanya had already prepared for the worst.

Suddenly, a shrill ringtone echoed in the bedroom, startling Guanya.

Hmm? A call at this time? She opened her eyes slightly, turned her head, and looked at the phone screen: Yuanshi Tianzun!

At this moment, Guanya felt her heart pounding.

She fumbled for her phone, took a deep breath, and answered, "Yuanshi?"

After saying two words, Guanya held her breath.

"Guanya, I've cleared the Gold Water Amusement Park." The familiar voice came from the speaker.

Guanya sat there in a daze, with only one thought echoing in her mind: He cleared the S-level dungeon again!

"Guanya? Guanya, are you listening?"

Zhang Yuanqing's voice brought her back to reality, and Guanya called out,

"You cleared the S-level dungeon again, you little guy, you little guy..."

"Do you know what this means? Shizhang will be ecstatic."

"Yes, I can already predict what he'll say," Zhang Yuanqing laughed, "He'll say: Oh my God, God, did you hear my sincere prayers? Yes, you must have heard them."

Also, I'm not a little guy. He corrected himself in his mind.

Guanya laughed, "Ha ha," and kicked her long legs happily, "Don't tease him like that in front of Shizhang, or he'll beat your head in."

Zhang Yuanqing also laughed, and Guanya couldn't resist her curiosity, "You haven't been on the forum, right? Another official staff member entered the Gold Water Amusement Park last night, someone called Hebo. The colleagues who are about to enter the dungeon are very anxious. Can you tell me about the Gold Water Amusement Park?"

Dungeon strategies and items are highly attractive to walkers, just like beautiful women are to perverts.

"No, I can't tell you," Zhang Yuanqing refused outright.

Guanya was taken aback; she didn't expect Yuanshi to refuse, thinking they had a close relationship.

"Unless you send me a photo of your legs in black stockings as a reward," Zhang Yuanqing said with a grin.

The old maid laughed, her face lighting up again, "Photos are boring. Why don't you take a taxi to my place, and I'll let you see as much as you want. I'll even give you a pair of stockings to take home and make milk tea with."

Zhang Yuanqing discussed seriously, "I think making milk tea with stockings is a waste. It's better to use them to clean the gun."

Guanya, lying on the bed, laughed until her chest shook, "How can you say such things in front of a lady? Anything else? Anything else?"

At 7:30 in the morning, the first thing Li Dongze did after waking up was to grab his phone from the bedside table to check for missed calls and unread messages.

He couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Such a troublesome child."

Li Dongze sighed, staring at the ceiling for several seconds before getting up to dress. He dressed gracefully, slowly and steadily, regardless of how bad his mood was.

He couldn't abandon his elegance.

At the dining table, Li Dongze enjoyed the breakfast made by the nanny, but his mind was elsewhere.

An Extraordinary stage dungeon should be completed by now. If there was no news by noon, Li Dongze's mood would become even heavier, and the food would lose its taste. He put down his chopsticks and said,

"Clear the table."

The nanny, busy in the kitchen, responded and was about to come out to clear the table when she heard the employer's phone ring from the bedroom.

"I'll get it."

She turned to go to the bedroom, but saw the employer jump up from his chair, his face excited, "No, no need!"

Then, the elegant employer rushed into the bedroom ungracefully.

Li Dongze ran to the bed, saw the caller ID as 'Yuanshi Tianzun,' and his breathing became rapid. He grabbed the phone, took a deep breath, and kept his voice calm, saying,

"Yuanshi, you're out?"

Li Dongze's face tensed.

"Shizhang, I'm out alive," Zhang Yuanqing said with a tired tone, "I called you as soon as I got out."

He had been chatting with Guanya until now, forgetting the time.

Li Dongze's tense face relaxed, and he immediately asked,

"Are you injured? Did you suffer any severe mental shock or psychological trauma?"

"Yes, in the amusement park, the ghost bride was deeply in love with me and refused to marry anyone else. I felt guilty and left with deep psychological trauma."

"It seems you're fine, then I'm relieved," Li Dongze smiled slightly,

"Since you just got out, rest at home first. You can come to the company in a few days, but write the strategy as soon as possible and send it to my email. I'll apply for the relevant rewards and credits for you. By the way, do you need more cola? I can send a few boxes to you."

Strange, Shizhang didn't say "Oh my God." Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but think, "No need, Shizhang. I prefer it when you stubbornly say 'buy it yourself.'"

Li Dongze: "…"

After hanging up, Li Dongze took a deep breath and couldn't control his emotions, "Oh, my God, God, did you hear my sincere prayers?"

He was wrong; this boy wasn't just talented, he was a genius.

If clearing one S-level dungeon could be attributed to luck, then clearing two S-level dungeons was not just luck. He could be cultivated as a butler candidate.

He even had the potential to reach the Elder level.

Among the young generation of dungeon walkers in the Five Elements Alliance, Fu Qingyang was the most likely to become an Elder, but even he had only cleared one S-level dungeon.

On the second floor of the villa, at the dining table, Fu Qingyang, dressed in a white suit with a stylish short ponytail, held a knife and fork, cutting his eggs and steak without expression.

Across from him, Lingjun, wearing a loose T-shirt and shorts, was eating voraciously.

At this moment, a bunny girl walked in, holding a phone, and said softly,

"Master, it's a call from Li Dongze."

Fu Qingyang's gaze fell on the phone. He put down his knife and fork and looked at his friend, who was oblivious to the world, eating greedily.

"What is it?" He answered the call, his voice cold.

"Centurion, Yuanshi Tianzun is out. He cleared the Gold Water Amusement Park," Li Dongze said, his voice particularly loud.

Ding dong. Fu Qingyang glanced at the playboy, who had dropped his knife and fork on the table, and a smile curved his lips, "I see."

He handed the phone to the bunny girl and smiled,

"I made a mistake. I should have bet with you."

Though he said this, his tone was extremely pleased, with no hint of regret.

"I always thought that those S-level dungeons should be cleared by us Taiyi Sect," Lingjun was extremely frustrated, "Elder Sun is confused."

Fu Qingyang was surprised, "You know about this?"

"Oh, it's a new meme on our Taiyi Sect forum. I browse the forum sometimes."

"Are you not afraid that the Elder will punish you for criticizing him?"

"It's fine, Elder Sun doesn't use the internet and barely knows how to use a phone," Lingjun picked up his knife and fork again,

"But this time, it might not be hidden. When he cleared the She Ling Tunnel, he was a potential candidate. Now, clearing another S-level dungeon confirms that this boy has brains and potential. His future achievements won't be low. Sigh, I'm a bit resentful of Elder Sun now.

"Anyway, he cleared two S-level missions. The third mission, at least A-level, if he makes it through, the sky is the limit. If he doesn't, he'll die young. What are you doing?"

Fu Qingyang walked out without stopping,

"Report to the Elder Council, apply for credits and rewards as soon as possible. Before the Taiyi Sect poaches him, I need to win him over with virtue. Oh, by the way, if the Taiyi Sect wants the Gold Water Amusement Park strategy, they'll have to pay more."

In a lakeside villa in a scattered province.

Morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Xie Lingxi, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom. The young girl's figure was not yet fully developed, not as curvy as mature women, but her youth and beauty were evident, with her knees as soft as powder.

The artificial lake shimmered with golden water, and willows were planted along the shore, their branches tender and green, creating a pleasant scene.

At this moment, luxury cars were driving along the lakeside road toward the villa.

"Knock knock~"

The bedroom door knocked a few times, and Xie Lingxi picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said coldly,

"Come in."

The female assistant, dressed in a small suit, opened the door and stopped behind her, respectfully saying,

"Miss, here is the information you requested."

Xie Lingxi didn't take it, sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, still wrapped in the bath towel, her legs crossed, looking cold and noble like a female CEO, and said calmly,

"Tell me."

The assistant opened the file and said,

"Wang Tai, member of the second team in the Kangyang District of the Five Elements Alliance's Songhai branch, his superior is a third-level scout of the White Tiger Army, Li Dongze. His profession is a Bachelor.

"These are the basic details. We can only access basic information
