The moment a group of eager reincarnators stepped into the third level of the dungeon, it was destined that Gordon, the king of this place, would face his unfortunate fate.
If Li Wei hadn't been there, it might have already devoured this group of audacious reincarnators. Unfortunately for it, it met its demise by encountering Li Wei.
Gordon, however, didn't seem to realize this.
Seeing that the group of insignificant rats dared to charge at him, the Demon Gordon chuckled and then stepped down from the throne that represented supreme power.
"You insignificant mortals, how did you get in? Where are my loyal Dark Knight?" Brandishing the massive Gordon's Staff, the Demon Gordon stepped forward.
Its enormous size caused each step it took to produce a loud thud, shaking the ground.
Momentum!
It was monstrous; immense pressure emanated from it, and some withered bones on the floor were even blown around by this invisible force, making a rumbling sound.
Li Wei and the others naturally wouldn't answer it. Following the pre-designed formation, Li Wei, Seventy-Two, 99 Knight, Lang Ping surrounded the Demon Gordon from the four directions of east, west, south, and north.
Zheng Yutong and the other two reincarnators wandered around, firing their bows, crossbows, and guns.
Like a magnetic field, Li Wei and the others didn't give Gordon a chance to get close, and whenever Gordon tried to teach one of the reincarnators a lesson, he would be met with fierce attacks from the other six.
It must be said that this encirclement tactic was quite effective. Under this almost shameless fighting style, the Demon Gordon quickly became exhausted, but as soon as it stopped, it would be attacked from all directions.
When the enemy gets close, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we attack. The division of labor was clear. Before long, Gordon let out a wail and collapsed to the ground. His huge body crashed to the ground with a tremendous thud.
"That's it?" Lang Ping stared in disbelief at the War God's Axe in her hand. Gordon's rating was something she couldn't match, yet such a powerful figure had fallen at her feet.
That feeling was amazing!
The other reincarnators were also excited. You see, this was a C-Rank dungeon! No one in the entire Shadow Street had ever been heard of clearing it. And today, these few people had actually created Miracle.
Even Seventy-Two, when he first got the key, never imagined that he would be able to clear this dungeon one day. He originally just wanted to collect the remaining pieces of the Bronze Set on the first floor and he would be satisfied.
But now, look at his equipment!
A +2 level Jade Set and a Crimson Sword —if such an appearance appeared in Shadow Street, it would likely cause a sensation.
Is all of this true?
Looking at the excited crowd, he secretly pinched his thigh and smiled with satisfaction.
Next, it was time to divide the 'stolen goods'.
In the dungeon raid mode, there are no extra quest rewards. To obtain more and better items, the only option is to kill as many monsters as possible. Along the way, they killed as many as seven or eight hundred monsters. Although some of the items were equipped on the Reincarnator team members, a considerable amount of items remained in Li Wei's storage space.
They poured all of this out at once, and a small mountain appeared in front of them.
Most of the items were basic, meaning they were of ordinary quality. Normally, no one would pick up such junk, but Li Wei collected almost all of the dropped items.
"Latin Sword and leather armor are the most common items, followed by some miscellaneous items. 20,000 gold coins can be exchanged for approximately 100,000 points. Divided equally among seven people, each person will receive over 10,000 points. In addition, there are some minor rare items..."
As he spoke, Li Wei took several items out of the hill. "A 'Soul Gem,' two 'Tornado' magic Skill Book, a +3 Skywalker and a Little Angel, and a 'Beast Horn.' How should we divide these items?"
The group looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.
Li Wei thought to himself, "I knew you wanted it. What a pity. Apart from the Skywalker Sword, which I'm not interested in, I'm determined to have everything else."
"You're the captain, so we'll all listen to your instructions on how to allocate the tasks!" Lang Ping said at this moment, instantly bringing everyone back to reality from their reverie.
"Yes, since you're the captain, we'll all listen to you!" All the reincarnators agreed.
Li Wei chuckled and said, "Then, give the Little Angel to the ranged Archer, since she needs more protection. I still have some use for the two spellbooks, the gem, and the Beast Horn, so I'll keep them. As for the Skywalker's Sword, take a look, who wants it?"
What?
No way!
Everyone was stunned. How could the distribution be like this? All the good stuff was kept for themselves. Although the Skywalker's Sword was not bad, its value was far less than that of the two magic Skill Book.
At the Shadow Merchant's, a magic Skill Book costs twice as much as a weapon; they should at least leave us one!
However, no one said this aloud. The reincarnators were all shrewd and clever. This was clearly a good show orchestrated by the new captain. They made it obvious that they wanted these things, and if you disagreed, you would be disrespecting them. Besides, Li Wei had made a great contribution to clearing this dungeon, so it was reasonable for them to take some good items.
Seventy-Two already possessed the Crimson Sword, and had no interest in Skywalker.
The 99 Knight preferred the legendary two-handed weapon, the Legendary Sword, so he also gave up the Skywalker.
As for Lang Ping, the War God's Axe was enough to make him beam with joy.
The other two reincarnators were both skilled in ranged attacks. After one round, no one was interested in Skywalker, so Li Wei simply put Skywalker back into his storage space.
Perfect timing! If you don't want it, I will!
A whole bunch of basic, junk weapons and armor that the Reincarnators wouldn't even look at, so Li Wei took them back exactly as he had poured them out.
This time, getting 10,000 points, a set of defensive armor, and weapons is already a huge win, so no one feels like they've lost out.
When the 72-hour time limit was up, a dazzling portal appeared out of thin air in the open space. Li Wei knew it was time to return to Shadow Street.
After Shadow Street and the Seventy-Two and 99 Knight separated, only Li Wei and Zheng Yutong remained.
"There are only three days left until the seven-day mandatory mission. What are your plans for these next few days?" Zheng Yutong asked as they walked through the alleys of Shadow Street.
From the moment they were in the instance, Li Wei sensed something was off about her, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. In short, he felt that this girl seemed gentler than before.
Three days were naturally spent continuing his cultivation. Having just grasped the importance of cultivation, Li Wei wasn't going to waste any more time. Thinking back to how he used to sleep all day at home, Li Wei felt a pang of regret. The best way to make up for the time he had wasted was to exchange for game world time. However, exchanging for game time seemed a bit extravagant, but to improve his strength, he had to go through with it, no matter how extravagant.
He told Zheng Yutong his thoughts, but she just said "oh," unable to discern the meaning behind his question. Even Li Wei couldn't quite figure out a woman's mind.
"There's a banquet going on at my house tomorrow, and I hope you... can come!" Zheng Yutong suddenly blurted out.
Banquet?
Li Wei suddenly realized that he didn't know the background of the girl beside him. Considering the luxury car she drove and her usual clothes, her background couldn't be too bad.
Is she from a wealthy family?
The wealthy often enjoy hosting banquets, inviting social celebrities and high-ranking officials to attend. Li Wei, however, was quite uninterested in such banquets.
However, Li Wei didn't want to directly reject Zheng Yutong.
To be honest, he really liked this woman. Whether it was her appearance, personality, or ability to get things done, Zheng Yutong was impeccable.
A perfect woman!
Isn't that right? How could such a privileged young woman not have many suitors? Of course, to pursue such a wealthy girl, one must possess substantial resources.
As for Li Wei, born into an ordinary family, he never dared to pursue this kind of woman, as he was well aware of the deep-rooted class consciousness in people's minds.
Although times have changed, prejudice based on social status has become even more severe. As the old saying goes, marriage should be between equals!
The simple phrase "marrying someone of equal social standing" is enough to explain the millennia-old prejudice against social class that has lingered in the minds of Country C.
Li Wei is also from Country C, and he is no exception to the common practice.
If Zheng Yutong were a girl from an ordinary family, Li Wei would pursue her without hesitation, buy her inexpensive but thoughtful gifts, give her warm hugs when it's cold, and bring her a homemade breakfast as soon as she wakes up.
However, she was a rich girl, and perhaps she was only being kind to him out of gratitude. Li Wei didn't want to get too involved; matters of the heart were not something he could play with.
"I want to stay in Shadow Street. Tomorrow... I'm afraid I won't be able to go!" Li Wei hardened his heart.
