All Right, All Right, All Right

After the announcement of the new expansion was released.

The players discussed it for almost a week.

But ultimately, they couldn't reach a satisfactory conclusion.

Because almost all major updates come with a prerequisite—requiring special items.

However, after a week of grinding the system's multiplayer dungeons, players hadn't obtained a single item.

Whether it's a skill reset item or a class-specific item.

I didn't see them.

Even on the front lines, with so many soldiers, not a single professional item could be obtained.

It's easy to imagine.

How low is the drop rate for this thing!

As for equipment...

Let's not talk about it.

Normal equipment rewards are available, of course, but finding a piece of equipment that ignores defense and elemental resistance is extremely difficult.

The update is practically useless.

Gradually, the players' enthusiasm waned.

On the other side...

Lu Xiu spent most of the week Construction Space.

Because of sufficient skill, the entire framework of the instance has already taken shape.

But new problems have also arisen.

With a dull whistling sound, the greatsword swept through the air in a powerful arc.

Lu Xiu took a sidestep, Anjanath avoiding the gaping maw of the Anjanath. Then, gripping the hilt of her sword, she used the twisting force of her turn to slam the greatsword hard into its vulnerable lower jaw.

A heavy thud was heard.

The Anjanath let out a mournful cry, its massive body crashing to the ground with a loud thud, rolling heavily sideways onto the muddy ground.

The movements were executed flawlessly and with ease.

Lu Xiu hoisted the greatsword onto her shoulder and looked at the giant beast on the ground.

Overall, the interactive experience of the dungeon is already perfect.

But Lu Xiu's eyebrows furrowed.

----You've been tricked!

You shouldn't have become Monster Hunter!!

14 types of weapons!

14 kinds!

As Architect, she had to test all the weapons to avoid any problems.

Because the various weapons not only differ greatly, but also have different core gameplay mechanics.

This means that she will have to complete the dungeon a full fourteen times—or more—before it goes live!

This doesn't even include the equipment.

This is a problem that Lu Xiu discovered when she started testing the instance.

As she happily wielded her broadsword, hacking down several prey, she realized the problem and her vision went black.

It's one thing if it requires a lot of injections.

There are some weapons she really doesn't like.

For example, the Hunting Horn and the Insect Glaive.

She's thinking now—maybe she should just delete those two weapons.

Should I delete it?

Lu Xiu sat down on the spot, but after thinking about it carefully for a while, she rejected the idea. "No, without diversity, multiplayer battles won't be as fun."

So the only option is to fight?

Will Cyber have to screw things up again?

Lu Xiu surveyed the surrounding primeval forest.

I really want to ask a question.

Can we start over?

now.

No one knows how Lu Xiu, the Architect, sought reconciliation within the instance she created.

Even players rarely mention Lu Xiu's new dungeon anymore.

Because everyone is still farming items----

even.

In the following week, many players went directly to the front lines to farm items.

This was quite unexpected for many frontline sergeants.

only.

Still no items appeared.

The players were both angry and amused.

On the other side...

Lu Xiu laughed in anger.

In the instance.

In the vast arena surrounded by a giant cluster of Dragon Crystal crystals, a powerful Ancient Dragon covered in black spikes roared at Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu, her face filled with utter despair, slowly raised the Charge Blade in her hand.

This was already the second Nergigante she had ever fought.

I just can't muster any enthusiasm.

Seeing that Lu Xiu remained motionless.

Nergigante a roar, the Nergigante stood upright and launched a powerful claw attack.

Lu Xiu took a sidestep and rolled to dodge, then took advantage of the moment of vulnerability to launch an attack.

Attack, attack, charged double attack, shield ram.

The sword blade struck the Nergigante with each strike, accumulating energy.

Soon, the bottle turned red.

Immediately following, Lu Xiu executed a smooth, Elemental Roundslash.

The whole process was so smooth and fast that it required almost no conscious thought; it was like muscle memory etched into one's DNA.

But then Nergigante attacked backhandedly.

Lu Xiu dodged it with a very slight movement.

Then.

I crawled between its legs, dodging and firing wildly at it.

There was not a trace of spiritual energy in it.

Only mechanical operation.

Seeing the Nergigante leap away, it struck again with its claws.

Lu Xiu immediately raised her shield.

Perfect GP (Counter-Attack)!

When!

A dull thud sounded, and sparks flew.

At the same time, a crisp "ding" sounded, and the shield lit up with a red light.

Right now.

Lu Xiu circled around to the side of the Nergigante again, seized the opportunity, gripped the hilt of the sword, and inserted it into the shield.

Click click click!!

A metallic clanging sound rang out!

With the clanging of mechanical gears, the sword and shield combined to form a Great Axe!

Lu Xiu slightly adjusted her position, stepped out with her right foot, first with a horizontal sweep, then her waist was like a bowstring stretched to its limit, squeezing out all the power in her body without reservation, and with that Great Axe, she raised it high behind her!

Super Amped Element Discharge!!

Lu Xiu swung her Great Axe, bringing terrifying wind pressure, and smashed it down on the unsuspecting flank of the Nergigante with the force of splitting mountains and shattering peaks!

Boom!!!

Accompanied by this powerful and heavy blow.

The Nergigante lost its balance and was knocked into a stagger. It lay on its side on the ground and began to struggle.

Lu Xiu rushed forward and continued to attack.

The cycle of reincarnation begins.

soon.

Accompanied by rousing music.

The Nergigante collapsed, powerless.

Lu Xiu carried the disassembled sword and shield, feeling no excitement, only numbness. Looking at the corpse of the Nergigante, she only felt like dying.

"Ah----what sins have I committed----why did I make so many weapons----I'm practically a weapons master----"

"I've worked so hard! And the players don't even get G-Rank Quests ----"

"No!"

"I'll bring in the Dire Miralis right now and make them all swim in boiling water!"

Lu Xiu released her grip, letting the heavy sword and shield fall to the ground.

Then he plopped down on his bottom.

Disorientation.

He started to become perverted.

And for the next week, Lu Xiu was still screwing screws in the dark and gloomy Cyber.

Weapons were tested one by one.

My proficiency with all weapons is increasing rapidly.

Whether it's the Greatsword's charged attack, the Longsword's Foresight Slash, or the Charge Blade's Super Amped Element Discharge Elemental Discharge—all of these have become muscle memory.

Lu Xiu essentially forced herself to become an all-around weapons master.

That's right.

Every day felt like working non-stop at a high intensity, and Lu Xiu was already in a state of near-death.

On the other side...

The players in Nine Provinces are also in a state of near-death.

During this period, countless players went to the front lines to run the system's multiplayer dungeons.

Still, nothing was seen.

There are no skill reset items, and no class-specific items either.

This outrageously low drop rate finally broke the spirits of all the players who had been ignited by the new expansion.

They were at their wits' end and finally remembered Lu Xiu, and the new instance she might be building.

[Lu Xiu! Lu Xiu, please help me!]

[New dungeon! We need a new dungeon! I can't stand this lousy system dungeon for even a second longer! It's boring and difficult, not to mention...]

There's nothing yet!

[Lu Shen, the system dungeons don't spawn special items at all, so your new dungeon will definitely be able to, right? Please, log in soon! I'll do anything!]

[I'm itching to grind! I'll brave any danger to grind it all! I need to reset my skill points! I need my Profession Certificate!]

[Lu Xiu! Hurry up and bring it out! Give the players something new!!! No matter what you make this time, as long as it's a multiplayer dungeon, we won't complain!]

[----]

The forum posts were refreshing like snowflakes, the screen filled with players eagerly awaiting the new dungeon in Lu Xiu, treating it as a lifeline.

At the same time.

Within the Construction Space.

Bang-

With the last crossbow bolt hitting the monster's weak point precisely, the testing of the final weapon finally came to an end.

Lu Xiu casually tossed aside her weapon, waved her hand to return to the pure white space, and then collapsed to the ground without any regard for her image.

"Finally—it's over—"

She stared blankly upwards for a long time.

He then let out a long breath.

Then I opened the forum, intending to relax my battered nerves first.

However.

The moment she opened the forum, a screen full of petitions saying they would grind the new dungeon to the max and wouldn't complain no matter what it turned out like were shoved right in her face.

Looking at those players whose words were brimming with anticipation, even clamoring to dominate the game...

Lu Xiu fell silent.

She thought of the countless monsters she had fought over the past two weeks, the suffering she had endured to test those fourteen weapons, and the torment of being charioted by Dragon Charge even in her dreams.

These guys actually think they can just easily come in and farm items?!

It's gone viral?

Lu Xiu jumped up from the ground.

"Alright, alright, you want to prove yourself, huh?"

"Just you wait."

"I'll go verify the pass right away!"

"----Huh? A promotional video? Now Architect can make their own promotional videos?"

"Fine! Fine! I'll lure you all in here and then kill you!"
