First Clear

Outside the Secret Realm

A hint of impatience appeared on everyone's face.

Haven't these Zhanfeng Squad been inside for far too long?

That's enough of the pretense. Do you really think they're fools?

Even a player as proud as Judge Young Master didn't dare to pretend for so long. Isn't the Zhanfeng Squad going a bit too far?

The Judge Young Master found a fan somewhere and began fanning himself while sneering.

With the Zhanfeng Squad at the bottom, he finally didn't have to lose face so much.

As time went on, some players began to suspect that the Zhanfeng Squad was just pioneering a new content area.

After all, who would stay in a secret realm for so long without fighting monsters?

"They haven't come out yet after so long. Could it be that the Zhanfeng Squad has found a way to open the gate and is already fighting the BOSS again?" one player couldn't help but say.

"Oh!"

No sooner had the man finished speaking than a cold laugh came from the Judge Young Master.

"Find a way to open the gate? How did they find it? With Zhanfeng's straightforwardness? Or that level 30 healer who claims to be a professional commander?"

"But they wouldn't stay inside for so long if the door wasn't open, would they? What good would it do them?" the player wondered again.

"How can there be no benefit? You're already starting to suspect they opened the door, aren't you? That's exactly the effect they wanted. This level 30 idiot is so patient for the sake of the bet? I underestimated him."

The Judge Young Master's hand moved even faster as he fanned himself.

Sui Yu glanced at the sky. "Let's wait a little longer. If he doesn't come out soon, let's all disperse. This Zhanfeng isn't very capable either."

Northeast Diga agreed with Sui Yu's words, but said, "I think that player earlier made a good point. If they hadn't found a way to open the door, the Zhanfeng Squad wouldn't have stayed inside for so long. They must have been fighting a boss inside."

After saying that, Northeast Diga glanced at Judge Young Master not far away, a flash of disgust crossing his eyes, and then he mocked, "If you ask me, the Zhanfeng Squad is probably about to get the first clear of the secret realm. I wonder if Judge Young Master has prepared his million Core Power yet?"

"Heh~ Them? And they call themselves the first carrier?"

The Judge Young Master swiftly closed his fan, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"If that kid manages to be the first to clear this dungeon, I'll eat shit live on stream!"

Just as the Judge Young Master finished speaking, a system announcement sounded.

System: Congratulations to players Zhanfeng, Lili, Qingbao... Jiu Chen for clearing the Special Secret Realm <Dance Instead>. This is the first clear of this dungeon on this server. This is to announce the results.

System: Congratulations to players Zhanfeng, Lili, Qingbao... Jiu Chen for clearing the Special Secret Realm <Dance Instead>, becoming the first player on this server to clear this dungeon. This is to announce the achievement.

The once noisy secret realm was now completely silent, as if time had been paused. Everyone's expressions hadn't even had time to change before they were frozen in place.

However, this was not a still image; at least the Judge Young Master's hand was still trembling slightly.

After what seemed like an eternity, a player swallowed hard and exclaimed in shock.

"The... Zhanfeng Squad... they... they cleared the game?"

This is something no one had anticipated!

As soon as the player finished speaking, everyone present finally realized what was happening.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! So the Zhanfeng Squad really was exploring inside!"

"Damn it, I knew it! The Zhanfeng Squad couldn't have stayed inside that long without the door open. Turns out they really were fighting a boss inside."

"Dude, you've already beat the game? Any experts out there who can analyze this? Does this even make sense?"

"I'm older, so I'll analyze it!"

Analysis Bro his grand entrance.

"As we all know, clearing a dungeon takes at least a day, and sometimes even two or three days. Considering the special nature of this dungeon, the difficulty will be even greater, and the normal clearing time will be at least two days."

"I calculated that the Zhanfeng Squad took less than three hours from entering the secret realm to completing their first clear."

At this point, the Analysis Bro's voice trembled slightly.

"In summary!"

"They not only opened that gate, but they also opened it very quickly after getting inside. More importantly, judging by the time it took, they wouldn't even have enough time to fight one boss twice!"

"That means... they defeated all three bosses on their first try..."

The more the Analysis Bro talked, the more his body trembled, not to mention the others.

They tried hard to find something wrong with what the Analysis Bro said, but no matter how they thought about it, it seemed that the only possibility was what the Analysis Bro had said!

Of course, this is because the Analysis Bro didn't know that Xiao Fan and his team had used a new team strategy, which significantly increased their efficiency.

If we follow the current common gameplay, the Analysis Bro's analysis is spot on.

Door opens in seconds! Perfect in one go!

Upon realizing this, everyone was so shocked they were speechless.

"Boss, I remember you said before that whoever gets the first clear of the dungeon will get the base manager position. Should I change bosses?" The player guarding the steps suddenly spoke up.

"You talk too much?" Sui Yu suppressed the urge to hit him.

He truly hadn't expected that a player would actually be able to open that door, and even achieve the first clear.

This world feels a bit surreal. Did he and the Zhanfeng Squad enter a secret realm?

We're all players, so why should they be allowed to open the door?

"Some people even said he was eating shit on live stream, why don't you go ask him?" Sui Yu said, looking at the trembling Judge Young Master.

Judge Young Master:...

Sui Yu! Don't force me to slap you when I'm upset!

The slap in the face came so suddenly that no one was prepared.

Just moments ago they were criticizing the Zhanfeng Squad for refusing to leave the secret realm because of their pride, but now they've already achieved the first clear of the secret realm.

They even obtained it with an absolute crushing victory.

All the squad leaders looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Only Northeast Diga managed a weak smile, "I knew it, they were definitely clearing land inside."

Northeast Diga Tiga is glad he has a habit of not making absolute statements; it turns out it's very useful in crucial moments.

Upon hearing Sui Yu mention the Judge Young Master, everyone finally found a point to talk about.

"I remember the Judge Young Master still has a bet, right? Now that he's lost, is the one million Core Power ready?" A captain looked at the Judge Young Master.

Judge Young Master:...

Upon hearing the bet mentioned, one of the players in the crowd suddenly realized something, his eyes widened instantly, his mouth opened wide, and his voice cracked from shouting.

"You... you didn't notice anything?"

"What did you find?" Everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"Jiu Chen! It's Jiu Chen! The level 30 dungeon commander that Zhanfeng recruited is Jiu Chen!"

"Jiu Chen!"
