Chapter 43

Is the player willing to accept?

Wang Tian immediately clicked to accept the mission. He was only thinking about gaining experience and didn't consider whether he had the strength to complete the dungeon. The Qingyun Society, a vast organization, was full of talented people. Even though it was just the Jianghuai branch, there were several formidable bosses.

Wang Tian was only level 4, and any boss inside was stronger than him. Moreover, these people had guns with attack limits exceeding 1000. Most importantly, Wang Tian couldn't resurrect like other players; one death meant everything was over. Accepting the dungeon without much thought was indeed immature.

Congratulations to the player for accepting the dungeon mission. The dungeon will officially start in three days, giving the player three days to prepare. The dungeon will last for a month, and if not completed within a month, it will be considered a failure. During the dungeon, players cannot use the yuanbao shop, return scrolls, city teleportation scrolls, or any other scroll-type items.

Seeing that the system gave him three days to prepare, Wang Tian realized his thoughts were too simple. He had only been thinking about leveling up by fighting monsters and hadn't considered the consequences.

The Qingyun Society branch could be considered the largest gang organization in Jianghuai City, and its strength was evident given its long existence. Moreover, he had to consider his family's safety. He wasn't alone; he had a sister who couldn't protect herself. If one day, the Qingyun Society used his sister to threaten him, what would he do?

Wang Tian felt that the three days of preparation were indeed necessary. The first thing to do was to arrange a safe place for his sister. He also needed to prepare sufficient potions, as he couldn't buy them during the dungeon. With so many monsters, how could he not buy some healing potions? Using the Dragon Form Fist Intent also consumed mental energy, so he needed to buy mental potions. To deal with the bosses, he also needed to buy life-saving potions like the Tian Shan Snow Lotus.

He decided to buy the potions first. On the second day, he would send his sister to his master's house, where his master could protect her.

Opening the yuanbao shop, Wang Tian's heart sank when he saw he only had 20 yuanbao left. With so little yuanbao, how could he afford it? Besides, after completing this dungeon, there would be another one. Without yuanbao to buy potions, completing the dungeon was almost impossible.

He bought two bundles of small healing potions for 2 yuan, two bundles of mental potions for 2 yuan, and some stamina potions. How could he wait for his stamina to recover when facing monsters? This was a real role-playing game, and the monsters were real people, not the weak AI monsters in games. He also bought two Tian Shan Snow Lotus for 5 yuan, which instantly restored 20 health points and were life-saving. He wanted to buy two, but with so little yuanbao, he couldn't afford it.

He still had 9 bottles of Sun Water left from last time, which he would need if he suffered internal injuries from a big boss.

After some thought, he bought two bundles of antidotes. Wang Tian had seen many gangster movies and knew that using poison was common.

Looking at the weapon section, Wang Tian originally wanted to buy a pistol. But a gun and a magazine cost 6 yuanbao, which he couldn't afford. He could only drool over the infinite ammo gun. If he could buy it, it would be a powerful tool for the dungeon.

In total, he spent 11 yuanbao, leaving him with only a single-digit amount.

The system提示 (prompt) appeared.

Players can recruit an NPC to complete the dungeon. In the dungeon, the NPC will fully obey the player's commands. If the NPC is within 100 meters of the player, they will share experience and can level up.

Recruiting an NPC for help? Wang Tian was excited; this made the dungeon more manageable. However, sharing experience wasn't ideal. He decided to see which NPCs were available.

Three portraits appeared on the system screen with brief descriptions.

The first one:

Zhao Daqiang: Level 13. Gender: Male. Age: 39. Health: 430-430. Attack: 190-320. Skills: 1. Military Boxing. 2. Basic Qigong. Equipment: 54 Pistol.

Description: A veteran detective with rich investigative experience and a background in military hospital internships, capable of basic healing.

The second one:

A beautiful female police officer, who was actually his senior!

Li Shuang: Level 16. Gender: Female. Age: 21. Health: 320-320. Attack: 300-650. Skills: 1. True Xingyi Fist (Eagle Level) Basic. 2. Anti-Wolf Techniques. Equipment: Dagger, 54 Pistol.

Description: Beautiful, and as a female police officer, she can play a special role in certain situations.

The third one:

Wang Gang: Level 20. Gender: Male. Age: 25. Health: 590-590. Attack: 500-860. Skills: 1. Bajiquan, Level 8. 2. Grappling and Combat. Equipment: Bulletproof Vest, Desert Eagle Pistol.

Description: A member of the special forces, skilled in tracking and assassination.

After reviewing the three, Wang Tian summarized their characteristics. Zhao Daqiang had low attack and health but was experienced and could heal, making him a support NPC. His senior was balanced, with average overall strength, but as a beauty, she might have some special uses. Wang Gang was a pure warrior, with high health and attack, suitable for tanking and drawing aggro.

Which one to choose?

A healer could heal, and a tank could draw aggro, both good. But he decided to choose his senior. NPCs would share experience and could level up, so it was better to keep the benefits within the family. He couldn't let others benefit, especially since she was his senior.

If he didn't know Li Shuang, he would have chosen Zhao Daqiang, the healer. As a warrior, he and a healer would make a classic combination.

...

Jianghuai City Police Department.

In a sealed room, all the police officers sat solemnly around a large round table, with police caps neatly arranged in front of them. A senior police officer in a white uniform with three stars on his shoulder was addressing them.

"Comrades, Captain Li Shuang of the Criminal Investigation Team One has successfully seized 10kg of drugs from a criminal organization. I commend her and recommend that she be awarded a third-class merit."

"Clap, clap, clap."

The officers applauded enthusiastically.

Although Li Shuang maintained a serious expression, she was inwardly elated but couldn't show it in this setting.

"The large quantity seized has drawn attention from higher-ups. Therefore, a crackdown will be launched in Jianghuai City, targeting all criminal organizations and individuals. Those who need to be killed will be killed, and those who need to be arrested will be arrested. This operation will be carried out by the Criminal Investigation Team Six. Comrades, please share your opinions."

The senior police officer directly announced his decision, assigning the operation to Team Six. Asking for opinions was just to discuss the details of the operation.

Li Shuang was eager to participate, as she had led the investigation. However, her team, all women, was not as strong as Team Six, so she didn't argue.

The discussion began, but since the decision was already made, it focused on the details of the operation.

Just as the meeting was about to end, the senior police officer said, "Given Captain Li Shuang's excellent performance, the committee has decided to include her in the operation with special status, allowing her to act independently from Team Six."

Yes! Li Shuang almost jumped with excitement.

If Wang Tian hadn't chosen her, she wouldn't have had this opportunity.

If Wang Tian were there, he would have been surprised to find that the NPCs provided by the system were all present. Li Shuang was the captain of Team One, Zhao Daqiang was the captain of Team Three, and Wang Gang was the captain of Team Four.

...

System prompt:

Given the player's ordinary status, to better assist the player in completing the dungeon mission, the system grants the player a special identity. Please go to the system NPC to collect the new identity card. The system NPC arrived at the player's novice village ten days ago.

System NPC? Wang Tian was speechless. The game actually had system NPCs! And they weren't just spawned but had arrived specifically for his dungeon mission.

Moreover, the system said he was in a novice village, which completely confused Wang Tian.
