Chapter 51 Who told you I was going to "fight" monsters?
Chen You looked at the elven goddess woman in front of him, whose expression was almost out of control, and naturally remembered her.
Yueying, the elven goddess who persistently added him as a friend twice, only to be rejected by him twice.
He had no idea that the other party had waited for hours outside the Supreme Building to ambush him, and had even been humiliated by Hill.
They were completely unaware that the other party had already poured hundreds of gold coins into monopolizing the Spirit Sand.
If Chen You had known, he would probably have sincerely suggested that she get her brain checked.
At this moment, Yueying's chest heaved violently, her eyes surging with shock, anger, humiliation, and many other emotions.
Finally, it receded like the tide, turning into a deep, cold expanse.
She forced herself to calm down.
She is the regional manager of [Moon Goddess's Radiance] in Zhaocheng, bearing the performance pressure of the entire guild.
Acting on impulse is the lowest level of mistake.
The man before them was a walking gold mine, a super variable capable of overturning the existing order of Zhaocheng.
Making enemies with him will bring nothing but harm.
But if we can establish a long-term partnership with him...
Let alone a monthly KPI of 100 gold coins, doubling that would be a piece of cake.
At that time, she will gain the true recognition of the guild's higher-ups, and her position within the guild will be unshakeable.
Having figured this out, the icy look in Yueying's eyes melted away, replaced by the shrewdness and sharpness unique to businesspeople.
Two words: wisdom!
She stepped forward, ignoring the gazes of everyone around her, her voice regaining the composure and calmness of someone in a position of authority.
"Mr. Chen You, I apologize for my previous intrusion." She nodded slightly, adopting a very humble posture.
"I'm here to discuss a business deal with you."
"A deal that will be of great benefit to both of us."
"However, before that, you'll probably need some other help."
Before Chen You could respond, she turned to the side and pointed to the players who had followed her behind her.
Let me introduce my team.
"This is the chief guardian knight of our 'Moon Goddess's Radiance' Zhaocheng branch. He is level 14, fully equipped with blue gear, and his defense ranks among the top three in Zhaocheng."
A burly elven knight nodded to Chen You, his eyes haughty.
"This is the High Priest, level 15, whose healing power is unmatched."
A female elf with a holy face, her staff glowing softly.
"And this one, our ace damage dealer, a level 15 magic archer..."
Yueying introduced her elite team as if they were her own treasures, and each name she mentioned drew a low gasp from the surrounding crowd.
These people were all prominent figures in Zhaocheng.
Chen You listened without any emotional fluctuation.
They were babbling incoherently, I couldn't understand what they were saying.
This girl is indeed a true spirited young woman.
He's truly idle, and he's truly insane!
His attention was still mostly on the wooden sign from earlier.
In his [Spiritual Vision], the surface of that ordinary wooden plaque was covered with a layer of invisible, extremely dim golden runes.
The structure of those runes was extremely ancient and complex, seemingly a kind of suppression and sealing magic array.
The purple vortex at the dungeon entrance originates from the weakest point of the wooden plaque's runes.
Just as Chen You was pondering what secrets were hidden behind this, Yueying finally finished her "team introduction".
She looked at Chen You with a confident smile and offered what she believed was an offer he couldn't refuse.
"I know, Mr. Chen You, you are very wealthy, but Wailing Valley cannot be cleared simply by having high levels and good equipment."
"It requires a combination of professions, tacit cooperation, and a deep understanding of dungeon mechanics."
"How about this," she said, changing the subject with great magnanimity.
"To show our sincerity, this time, our elites from [Moon Goddess's Radiance] can take you through [Wailing Valley] for free."
"Let me show you firsthand what a truly professional team is, and what real efficiency is!"
boom!
These words caused an uproar in the room!
"Did I hear that right? [Lunar Radiance]... Free boss escort?"
"That's Yueying's elite squad! Normally, hiring them costs at least 5 gold coins per session, and you still have to wait in line!"
"This super-rich guy has such incredible influence! This treatment is practically royalty!"
"Of course! A monster that can level up from level 5 to 10 in two days and casually offer a 10-gold-coin bounty—[Moon Goddess's Radiance] is definitely going to go to great lengths to recruit it!"
The assassin who had previously offered Chen You 10 gold coins to help him level up was now clutching his injured waist, hiding behind the crowd, his face alternating between pale and flushed.
He felt like a clown jumping around.
They are now enjoying a free private event hosted by the most prestigious guild in Zhaocheng.
And I, just now, actually wanted to use 10 gold coins to "slaughter" such a great god?
It's ridiculous!
Amidst the deafening murmurs and countless envious and jealous glances, Yueying's smile deepened.
This is exactly the effect she wanted.
Offering such generous terms in front of all the players in the city not only demonstrates the strength and magnanimity of [Moon Goddess's Radiance], but also gives the other party ample face.
She couldn't believe that anyone could refuse such an offer.
However, Chen You finally turned his attention back completely from pondering the wooden plaque.
He finally understood.
After all that fuss, it turns out he just wanted to carry me through a dungeon run.
He looked at the confident Yueying and the group of "elite players" behind her with their arrogant or scrutinizing gazes, and calmly shook his head.
"Thank you, but no need."
Five words were clearly heard by everyone present.
Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest emotion.
In other words, it means: I politely declined!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
At the entrance to the noisy instance, you could hear a pin drop.
The smile on Yueying's face froze instantly, like a sculpture frozen in ice.
The arrogance on the faces of the knights, priests, and others behind her turned into astonishment and embarrassment.
The hundreds of players around them stared wide-eyed.
His face was filled with confusion, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I? What did I hear?"
He... refused?
He actually refused?!
"What...did you say?"
Yueying's voice was extremely dry, and she suspected she was hallucinating.
Chen You did not answer her again.
Because it is not necessary.
He didn't even glance at Yueying again, as if she and her so-called elite team were just scenery by the roadside.
Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, he strode forward, heading straight towards the ominous dark purple vortex.
"What...what does he want to do?"
"He's insane! He's really insane! He's going to go into the dungeon alone?"
"He's only level 10. Even with the best gear, soloing a dungeon? That's suicide!"
"Oh no, this rich guy must be an idiot, his brain's been burned by money!"
An incredulous gasp erupted from the crowd.
Yueying also came to her senses. She looked at Chen You's back as he walked alone towards the dungeon. She was first stunned, and then an indescribable sense of humiliation welled up in her heart.
Ignore!
Once again!!
He would rather go in alone to his death than accept my help!
This is not a rejection, this is an insult!
As a prodigy of the Elven race, he excels in appearance, temperament, and ability.
In Zhaocheng, she dared not call herself second, she could only be first!
But this guy in front of me seemed to think that even glancing at me was unnecessary!
"Stop!" Yueying couldn't help but shout sharply.
"Who do you think you are? Without a team, you can't even get past the first wave of mobs!"
Chen You stopped in front of the dungeon vortex.
Yueying was overjoyed, thinking that her words had worked.
However, Chen You did not turn back.
He simply raised his right hand slowly.
next second.
hum-
One stack, two stacks, three stacks...
Stacks of thick yellow talismans appeared out of thin air in his hands.
Countless exorcism talismans, emitting a faint spiritual light, were casually grasped in his palm.
The scene resembled a nouveau riche grabbing a large bundle of waste paper to burn.
Chen You finally turned his head and glanced at Yueying, whose face was blank, with the look of someone looking at an idiot.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that Yueying found incredibly irritating.
"Who told you I was going to 'fight' monsters?"
