Snowflake Leopard

The level 9 monster zone is located in the Evening Wind Forest to the northwest of the village, which is the territory of the raccoons.

[Little Raccoon Lv.9]

HP: 120

In the Evening Wind Forest, little raccoons, gray and white in color, run, jump, and play.

Their fur is shiny and their bodies are plump, each with a fluffy long tail. They look incredibly cute!

But Su Yu remembered that it was precisely because raccoons were so cute that they caused quite a bit of controversy among players a few days after the game opened.

Many players complained on the official forums, saying that the raccoons were too cute to bear to attack. Those who did attack were met with scornful looks from nearby female players, and they all requested that the game officials replace the monsters.

Later, the game supervisors from the Singer Civilization listened to the players' opinions.

In a major update two months later, all the raccoons were replaced with mummies wrapped in white cloth.

The Evening Wind Forest map was also updated into a giant tomb. Walking inside, ghosts would occasionally drift by, which was terrifying!

When Su Yu entered the game in his previous life, the level 9 monster zone had already become a grand tomb. Walking inside meant being haunted by ghosts and having "intimate contact" with players.

He felt that today's visit to see the deleted "raccoons" was well worth the trip.

"They are a bit cute, but this kind of 'yang' style suits me better. Tomb mummies and such are too 'yin'."

Su Yu steeled himself, transformed into a "Raccoon Slayer," and began leveling up in the level 9 monster zone.

Anyway, there wasn't a single player around him, so he didn't have to worry about anyone giving him scornful looks.

The time spent leveling up is always tedious.

While mechanically casting spells, using scrolls, and drinking mana potions, Su Yu browsed the game's official in-game forum.

He wanted to see if any funny netizens had come up with new tricks or created any new memes.

Recently, a meme called "Indonesian Telecom" had become quite popular. The "ding" sound during the climax of "Indonesian Telecom" was exactly the same as the system prompt "ding" in "Evolution"!

So, netizens started creating parody videos, photoshopping the outsourced supervisor of the "Evolution" game into the videos, and adding text like "$30,000 for 'Evolution'."

Just as Su Yu was engrossed in watching, a strange sound suddenly came from the game.

He closed the forum interface and listened carefully. The sound in the game originated from a server-wide announcement:

[Server-Wide Announcement: Players Snowflake Leopard, Range is Truth, Caliber is Justice, Unbreakable Alliance, and March of the Steel Torrent have successfully cleared the level 5 five-player dungeon "Thunder Cliff." They are hereby rewarded with one random rare-quality equipment.]

This server-wide announcement was different from Su Yu's previous one.

Su Yu's announcement had sounded three times, but this one ended after just one.

After the announcement, it was Snowflake Leopard's advertising time.

A deep, resonant male voice came to Su Yu's ears:

"Hello everyone, I am Snowflake Leopard, the guild leader of the 'Relevant Department' guild."

"After reaching level 10, every member can receive a monthly subsidy of 2000 Zhonghua Coins. Our guild has no mandatory quests, no forced participation in any activities, and absolutely no forced submission of equipment or currency. That's all I have to say."

Snowflake Leopard's advertisement was concise and powerful.

Regarding the content of the advertisement, he and his team had repeatedly discussed it before finally settling on this version.

The advertisement sounded a bit unsophisticated.

But in reality, it was precisely this kind of unsophisticated advertisement, which touched upon the vital interests of the general public, that could achieve widespread dissemination.

If they were to say something more high-minded, like "Our goal is to dominate the entire server," or "We are recruiting ambitious individuals from all walks of life to join us in building the strongest guild in the game."

Players would at most reply with "Okay, very spirited," and just listen and move on.

But when it came to "2000 Zhonghua Coins," many people's eyes lit up.

After Snowflake Leopard's advertisement was broadcast, players began discussing it with their companions:

"Someone cleared a five-player dungeon again!"

"'Relevant Department'? Strange name."

"2000 yuan a month! Wouldn't that mean the helmet would pay for itself in just over a year?"

"I don't have a guild, so I'll try it out then."

"Let's go together!"

Although most of these players could afford the 30,000 yuan helmet, no one would dislike the extra 2000 yuan per month. Many became interested in the "Relevant Department" guild.

At the same time, Su Yu's face also showed a look of interest.

"'Relevant Department'? Is Snowflake Leopard already showing his talent this early?"

Snowflake Leopard, whose real name was Zhong Feng, held the rank of Rear Admiral and was a rare Druid class player.

Before the Great Change began, Guo Jia had already noticed the unusual nature of the game "Evolution." Therefore, he instructed Snowflake Leopard to form the "Relevant Department" and enter the game to investigate.

Snowflake Leopard had a keen sense for the game's storyline.

With his rich experience in criminal investigation and the help of his expert team, he consecutively completed two main storylines, becoming the first player in the country to reach level 50.

He was also the first Earthling to know that in-game strength could be materialized.

(Only legendary bloodlines could materialize their in-game strength early, and at that time, no legendary bloodlines had appeared globally.)

The rest of the story goes without saying.

After the Snowflake Leopard's strength materialized, it received great attention from Guo Jia.

He was already strong, and with Guo Jia's focused resource allocation, he eventually became the top human powerhouse in his previous life and a pillar of resistance against the Skrulls.

"Snowflake Leopard," Su Yu murmured, "I should try to connect with him if I get the chance."

As Su Yu was recalling the Snowflake Leopard's life story...

[Thunder Cliff] dungeon, the Snowflake Leopard's party was also discussing him.

Atop Thunder Cliff.

Range is Truth waved a bow and arrow, happily boasting, "Look! This is the first clear reward! A Level 5 rare quality bow and arrow! Its attack power is a whopping 20!"

"Alright, Old Zhang," Unbreakable Alliance said with a wry smile. "You've flown a J-50 fighter jet, yet you're this excited over a broken bow."

"What do you know?" Range is Truth shoved the bow into his face. "Look closely, this is rare quality equipment! Even Nemesis probably doesn't have rare equipment!"

The Snowflake Leopard stood still.

He looked at the corpse of the boss, Kaelen Bloodhoof, on the ground, lost in thought. "You guys, we wiped 8 times before clearing this dungeon. How did Nemesis manage to solo it? The difficulty of Green Grassland isn't any lower than this."

"This..."

The teammates beside him fell silent.

The smile on Range is Truth's face gradually faded.

Even though he had obtained a rare quality weapon, even he, in his current state, couldn't possibly solo the dungeon.

He couldn't even solo the first or second boss.

How exactly did Nemesis do it?

"No! I must have Luo Luo contact Nemesis again. We absolutely need to figure out what the Level 50 reward is."

The Snowflake Leopard made up his mind and opened his private chat interface.
