"Why is Xia Wanwan, Ning University's campus beauty, so protective of Wind Soughs Sadly?"
"Yeah, didn't she post on Ning University's confession wall herself that she'd become the girlfriend of whichever Ning University player reached level 10 first?"
"If she likes Wind Soughs Sadly, why doesn't she just date him? Why announce this ridiculous Level-Up Matchmaking Contest that makes her look like some kind of prize?"
"Could there be more to it?"
On the outskirts, some spectators who had come to watch the drama murmured among themselves.
Meanwhile, in the clearing.
Xia Wanwan's arrival had stirred an intense desire to conquer her in Wang Junjie.
And Wang Junjie's filthy words had sent fury blazing through Ling Xiao.
He rose and pulled Xia Wanwan behind him.
His eyes burned as he shouted at Wang Junjie, "Wang Junjie! Don't forget, our contest isn't over yet!"
"Do we even need to keep competing?" Wang Junjie laughed wildly. "I'm almost level 9, and you've only just reached level 8!"
"Besides, you've got plenty of Crime Points right now. If I kill you, you'll lose a lot of experience! You probably won't have any chance of beating me then."
Only then did Xia Wanwan notice that Ling Xiao had a Red Name!
Frantic with worry, she said to Wang Junjie, "Wang Junjie, could you let Ling Xiao off this once, for my sake?"
"I told you, sure!" Wang Junjie spread his hands and smiled casually. "That depends on what you do!"
"How about this? You don't have to sleep with me. Maybe that was a little too much to ask. Just come over and give me a kiss!"
"Give me a kiss, and I'll spare that dog's life today. How does that sound?"
Ling Xiao pointed his sword at Wang Junjie and roared, "Wang Junjie! Don't even think about it!"
Yet Xia Wanwan hesitated.
She looked at Ling Xiao and thought, Only if you reach level 10 before Wang Junjie will we have a chance.
But if you die this time, we'll have no chance of beating him at all...
"All right, I agree!" Xia Wanwan looked at Wang Junjie. For Ling Xiao's sake, she steeled herself and made her decision.
"No!" Ling Xiao caught Xia Wanwan's wrist, his eyes pleading. "Wanwan, don't!"
Xia Wanwan shook her head, forcing a resolute smile onto her exquisite face. "Ling Xiao, I believe in you. You'll definitely beat Wang Junjie!"
With that, Xia Wanwan broke free of Ling Xiao's grip, turned, and walked toward Wang Junjie.
Even if Wang Junjie hadn't had a thousand women, he had certainly had eight hundred.
But he had never tasted a beauty of Xia Wanwan's caliber!
If Xia Wanwan hadn't been so resolute, refusing to be bought at any price, Wang Junjie wouldn't have needed to enter this boring leveling contest just to sleep with her.
So, as he watched Xia Wanwan slowly approach him.
The thought that this campus beauty, admired by countless people at Ning University, would soon offer him her first kiss in public made Wang Junjie's heart race, his mouth go dry, and his blood boil with excitement!
But just as he licked his lips and readied himself.
Rumble, rumble!
Suddenly, the ground shook.
A long roar rang out from the depths of the Shadow Nest behind them-
Roar!
"Boss! The boss is out!"
"Goddammit!" Wang Junjie snapped furiously. "Couldn't it have come out later? It just had to ruin my fun!"
As Wang Junjie turned around.
A gigantic red-haired spider, as large as a single-story house, sprang out of the cave, whose entrance resembled the gaping maw of an abyss!
Above its head, a blood-red ID set their blood pumping-
[Spider Queen] (Lv15 Magic Type · Tier 2 boss)!
Behind them, Ling Xiao, Xia Wanwan, and the others stared at the boss in astonishment.
"It really is a boss!"
"Cloudside Town's ultimate boss was hiding here!"
Seeing a boss-class monster for the first time, Wang Junjie was beside himself with excitement too. "Holy shit! A boss!!"
Meanwhile, the strategist Troubled Times Zhuge reminded him, "Boss, I suggest we kill the boss first. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble if Mo Shou Cheng Gui gets here!"
"Then we'll slaughter the boss first. The kiss can wait until afterward!"
Wang Junjie pointed at the Spider Queen and ordered the surrounding Troubled Times Guild players, "Brothers, kill that boss!"
Charge!
Amid a deafening chorus of shouts, dozens of Troubled Times players grabbed their weapons and surged toward the Spider Queen from every direction.
But they had thought only of the boss's value.
They hadn't considered its strength at all.
Roar!
With a furious roar.
The Spider Queen suddenly opened her bloody maw and spat out a fiery-red beam of magical light, sweeping it across the Troubled Times players closing in around her-
-915! -899! -935! -911!
The staggering damage instantly devoured the Troubled Times players' health bars.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In an instant, dozens of pillars of white light shot into the sky!
Wang Junjie exclaimed in shock, "Fuck! Why is this boss so strong?"
But Wang Junjie didn't panic. Instead, he grew even more excited. "Good! The stronger it is, the more it's worth!"
"Goddammit! This boss is mine!!!"
With that, Wang Junjie opened the WeChat Guild Group and tagged every member. "Everyone, gather at the Shadow Nest to kill the boss! If you die, come straight back! Everyone gets thirty thousand yuan for every death!!!"
And so, a scene that defied belief unfolded before the passing players.
As if possessed, the Troubled Times Guild players raced back and forth between Cloudside Town and the Shadow Nest!
Some passing players grew curious and followed them.
Only when they reached the Shadow Nest did they discover...
"Holy shit! A boss!!"
"So the Troubled Times Guild is fighting a boss!"
"No wonder they looked like they'd gone crazy! They're trading their lives to kill it!"
"That's Ning'an City's richest man for you! Apart from Wang Junjie, I doubt anyone could afford to fight a boss like this!"
As a level 15, Tier 2 boss, the Spider Queen possessed a staggering 480 defense.
These Troubled Times Guild players, only level 6-7, had no chance of breaking through it.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Every Troubled Times player who approached the boss dealt nothing but the mandatory minimum damage of "-1" when their attacks landed.
The damage from each hit was insignificant.
But.
Sheer numbers could overcome anything!
Even with each player dealing only 1 point of mandatory damage, they could wear the boss down bit by bit.
Wang Junjie had more than five hundred players under him in the Troubled Times Guild.
Even if each player could contribute only 2-3 points of damage per life, a single round could still take over a thousand health off the boss!
"Bosses in the starter villages can't regenerate health."
Troubled Times Zhuge pushed up his glasses with his index finger and analyzed the situation. "As long as we keep throwing lives at this boss, it's only a matter of time before we kill it!"
Wang Junjie was overjoyed. "Then keep throwing bodies at it!"
"Throw everything you've got at it!!"
"Hahahaha!!!"
To Wang Junjie, it seemed as though this boss was already his for the taking.
