Chapter 230 Let's find someone to work for us.
Chen You, riding on the little yellow chick, was still maintaining his speed and running wildly.
This is just too damn weird!
I can't stop, I can't let anyone see my ID!
We have to go!
If I stay any longer, and some sharp-eyed person recognizes me, my image will be completely ruined.
He suddenly squeezed the chicken's belly—though it didn't really do anything.
The little yellow chick, which was being pressed down so hard it was about to roll its eyes back, received its owner's strong desire and instantly turned its two short legs into wheels of fire.
With an astonishing speed befitting its size, it carried Chen You and plunged headfirst into the nearest grocery store.
"Bang!"
The wind chimes at the door jingled loudly.
All the NPCs in the shop turned to look, their gazes fixed on the man in overalls.
Chen You rushed behind a row of shelves with lightning speed and opened the fashion interface at lightning speed.
【Fashion - Happy Chicken Raiser Set】→Unequip.
【Fashion - Ink Abyss Galaxy Robe】→Wear.
The whole process was smooth and efficient, without wasting a single second.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a return scroll.
A flash of white light.
Before anyone could react, the grocery store had also vanished.
……
Teleportation Plaza.
As the light shone, Chen You, dressed in the Ink Abyss Star River Robe and exuding a cool and aloof aura, reappeared.
The surrounding players, seeing the familiar attire, once again cast their gazes, but this time with awe.
Chen You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, no one should have noticed.
He completely abandoned the idea of farming the event dungeon right now.
It's too conspicuous.
Wherever I go, I feel like a firefly in the dark.
You can't avoid being discovered unless there's nobody there!
With that in mind, Chen You no longer hesitated and summoned the White Rabbit.
"You're more pleasing to the eye, let's go!"
If you can't farm the event dungeons, then you might as well level up.
I had previously inquired with Hill and learned that there is an open instance more than 2,000 kilometers away called [Sharp-Beaked Highlands].
It's time to start another act of destruction.
Once outside the city gate, Chen You's mind stirred, and the Jade Emperor Sword was drawn from its sheath.
With a flash of sword light, it transformed into a streak of light that shot into the sky, carrying Chen You and disappearing into the horizon.
For Chen You, a distance of more than two thousand kilometers is just a flight of more than ten minutes.
Soon, a rolling, yellowish-brown plateau came into view.
On the plateau, jagged rocks grow sparse, strange plants that, from a distance, look like sharp thorns pointing to the sky.
This is Pointed Heights.
The entrance to the instance is located in a huge, bird's nest-shaped depression in the center of the plateau.
A simple wooden sign stood there all alone, with the words "Sharp Beak Heights" engraved on it.
Just as Chen You had expected, the place was deserted.
The anniversary event and the opening of the "Road to Kingship" dungeon attracted the attention of more than 99% of players in the Origin Realm.
These low-level dungeons, which have been overexploited and overrun, are naturally ignored.
Chen You leaped off the flying sword and walked straight into the instance's light curtain without pausing.
Six minutes later.
Chen You stood in front of the giant bird's nest at the deepest part of the dungeon.
In the center of the nest, a huge bird that looked like both a bird and a chicken, with a tuft of feathers on its head, was looking at him with a majestic expression.
【King of the Sharp-Beaked - Chatterbox (Elite Lord)】
[Level: 40]
The BOSS named "Daodao" clearly had the demeanor of a lord; it cleared its throat, and its sharp voice echoed throughout the valley.
"Foolish intruder! How dare you trespass into my territory!"
"Now, kneel down and kiss my noble toes, and perhaps I will..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Three dazzling sword lights flashed past its eyes.
"Puff puff puff puff—"
One second.
Daodao's enormous head shot skyward, its face still bearing that majestic yet bewildered expression.
"Ding!"
"You have defeated [King of Sharp Beaks - Talkative] and gained 2500 experience points."
[Ding! You have successfully cleared the dungeon: Sharp Beak Heights!]
[Ding! You have obtained the "No Damage Clearance" achievement for [Sharp Beak Heights]!]
[Ding! You have obtained the "Speed Run" achievement for [Sharp Beak Heights]!]
[Ding! The conditions for destroying [Sharp Beak Heights] have been met!]
……
Chen You retrieved his flying sword, glanced at the headless corpse of the BOSS, and then thought of the little yellow chick he had just bought.
"That's absolutely outrageous."
A bolt of lightning struck Daodao's corpse.
Returning to the deserted entrance of the dungeon, Chen You stood before the ancient wooden dungeon sign, his face expressionless.
He slowly raised the Jade Emperor Sword in his hand.
He was already very familiar with this process.
Without the slightest hesitation, spiritual energy gathered on the sword's edge, and it slashed fiercely down at the wooden plaque!
"boom--!"
A familiar, earth-shattering roar.
The wooden sign shattered instantly, turning into dust that filled the air.
Immediately afterwards, the weather changed dramatically. Dark clouds gathered over the entire Spiral Highlands, and crimson lightning rolled and roared within the clouds, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.
Countless bolts of dark red lightning descended from the sky, striking precisely the fragments of the wooden plaques.
Under the tempering and reshaping of lightning, the wooden plaque was reassembled!
Lines of blood-red characters slowly appeared.
[The Destroyer: Chen You]
The next second, that familiar yet cold system announcement once again resounded throughout the entire Origin Realm, echoing in the ears of every player.
[World Announcement]: Player [Chen You] has used his supreme power to shatter the boundary marker of [Sharp Beak Heights], successfully activating the [Sharp Beak Heights] destruction mode!
[World Announcement]: ...
[World Announcement]: ...
It's the same familiar rhetoric.
"??? Am I seeing things? It's Chen You again?!"
"I remember the pro was only level 20? He's already taking down the Spikebeak Highlands?!"
"An elite team of level 40 players spent all night trying to sabotage it, but he actually did it..."
"My mom asked me why I was playing the game on my knees, and I said I was watching amazing plays..."
"Oh no, I just got wrecked on the Road to Kingship and was trying to regain my confidence on Sharp Beak Heights. Now look what's happened, the big shots have demolished my doorstep."
Countless players were once again plunged into immense shock and confusion.
This is simply... cheating!
No, even cheaters wouldn't dare to use it like that!
At that moment, the guild leaders of the three major guilds—Eternal Night City, Titan City, and Floating Sanctuary—also saw this world announcement.
Moon Arrow couldn't help but sigh softly.
"He's really too fast."
……
Chen You didn't think about the other players' reactions, but turned around and started grinding the dungeon again.
I first played through the destruction mode, and then started playing through the normal mode endlessly.
Take advantage of the event experience bonus and level up as soon as possible.
Going to the practice room might be more efficient, but I'm not sure if I can open another practice room.
If it can't be opened, and I have to spend more than ten minutes running around, I'll just keep refreshing here for now.
The sun rises and sets, and before we know it, it's night again.
Except for a brief trip back to the guild territory, Chen You had been grinding dungeons the whole time.
Even Chen You felt a bit tired after fighting monsters for such a long time.
Mental exhaustion.
Let's take a short rest.
It's time for all the working folks to gather!
Chen You opened his friends list and sent a message to Moon Arrow.
[Chen You]: President Yue, we can start now.
