Chapter 41: Conquest Dungeon!

“All equipment, items, materials, skill books, and so on dropped inside the dungeon belong to me.”

“No problem.”

Hongsha Liusu didn’t voice any objections. She had two main reasons for joining the team this time.

First, to see the final boss’s attributes.

Second, to see the true strength of the Lone Ranger.

Players all over the world were very curious about Jiang Chen’s strength. One person slaughtering thousands, killing special bosses, and defeating golden bosses—each of these was enough to cause a huge sensation.

As for the so-called equipment and skill books, she hadn’t even paid attention to them. Even if there was valuable gear, she would just buy it; it wasn’t worth offending the Lone Ranger over one or two pieces of equipment.

“All first-kill rewards dropped in the dungeon will also belong to me. If there are no objections, we’ll enter the dungeon now.”

Before entering the dungeon, Jiang Chen stated the rules for his team.

The first-kill reward included a Guild Founding Token, which he absolutely would not give to anyone else. Some things had to be made clear upfront.

Pfft…

Hongsha Liusu felt a sudden urge to spit blood—this Lone Ranger is way too arrogant, wasn’t he?

Up until now, all the strongest guild players worldwide had failed. Even the World Alliance hadn’t succeeded. Where did he get such confidence all on his own?

It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in the Lone Ranger’s strength, but in such a high-difficulty dungeon, being strong alone was useless. Only by relying on team synergy could there be hope of clearing it.

“If you manage to clear it, everything naturally will be yours.”

Hongsha Liusu said dismissively.

“All right then, get ready to enter the dungeon.”

Jiang Chen gestured with his hand, sword pointing towards the dungeon administrator.

At first, Hongsha Liusu had no hope of clearing the dungeon. But seeing Jiang Chen’s confidence made her hesitate.

The Lone Ranger was called a walking bug—he couldn’t be viewed with ordinary eyes.

What if he actually cleared it…

Thinking this, Hongsha Liusu’s heart began to race again. Finally, biting her red lips, she said, “I have a small request. If you don’t need the Guild Founding Token, could you give me priority to buy it?”

Her request wasn’t out of line; it was just the most ordinary ask from a collaborator. Surely the Lone Ranger wouldn’t object.

“Sorry.”

Jiang Chen scratched his nose and said, “The first-kill reward this time will be auctioned off at the official auction house. If you really want it, I can notify you in advance.”

The world’s very first Guild Founding Token was incredibly precious. Jiang Chen wasn’t going to lose his benefits just because the other party was a beautiful guild leader. Such an action would be no different from sabotaging himself.

Receiving this reply, Hongsha Liusu felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

In front of the Lone Ranger, neither her status nor her beauty seemed to grant any ‘privileges’. A feeling of defeat arose naturally.

Then, Jiang Chen led Hongsha Liusu to the dungeon administrator.

As soon as the two appeared, they immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers, especially Jiang Chen. His current fame was huge.

“The giant hero can no longer stand by, he’s going to take action!”

“Although the Lone Ranger is strong, it’s still not enough to break through the dungeon. He’ll probably fail.”

“Two people trying to clear the dungeon? That’s really arrogant.”

“Guess how far they’ll get before failing?”

“That’s hard to say. The title ‘walking bug’ wasn’t given for nothing. But we’re not expecting immediate clearance; reaching 90% progress is already our biggest hope.”

“That’s right, get to 90% progress and then give those garbage Koreans a good slap in the face!”

A player indignantly referenced the “No one from China” forum post incident.

The post was still pinned at the top of the forum, its popularity steadily rising.

It had completely ignited the anger of the entire China people. Everyone felt unwilling to accept defeat, and some extremists even threatened to launch massive force to directly wipe out Korea.

Of course, now that the Alliance controlled everything, such decisions were impossible to carry out.

Meanwhile, China had no results to refute the forum post, and no one had reached 90% exploration progress yet. This was the greatest complaint about China at the moment.

No matter how loudly China players ranted in the post, they lacked the confidence to act strongly. As long as Korea held onto their exploration progress, China would always be slapped in the face.

So everyone eagerly hoped someone would stand up and show the Koreans that China’s sea was forever unfathomable!

“Everyone, wait for our news! The Red Veil Guild and the Lone Ranger will definitely not disappoint you!”

Hongsha Liusu shouted loudly, instantly gaining the support and encouragement of countless players.

“Come on, Guild Leader Hong Sha, we’re all here cheering for you!”

“That’s right, good luck to both of you! Carry everyone’s hopes and break through the dungeon barriers!”

“Lone Giant Hero, the glory of solo players, we hope you can create a miracle!”

“Good luck, everyone! We’ll be waiting here for your return.”

A large number of players cheered for Jiang Chen and Hongsha Liusu, making him want to laugh, but also feeling the pressure of ‘not failing’…

How ridiculous.

At this moment, he was not idle either and started communicating with the dungeon administrator.

“I want to enter the dungeon.”

“The Abyssal Sacrifice is full of dangers. Young adventurer, I advise you to find enough companions before attempting exploration.”

The dungeon manager’s kindly advice had no effect; Jiang Chen remained firm.

“No need. Two are enough. Please send me into the dungeon.”

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Chen and the other disappeared on the spot in a blue light.

…

The background of Hope World mainly revolves around the Abyssal Demons and the Human Empire, the two largest factions in this world.

As for the Elven race, Goblin race, Titan race, and others, they all belong to neutral factions—some sided with the Abyss, some aligned with humans, and some sought peaceful homes in between without intervening.

The [Abyssal Sacrifice] was an exploration campaign organized around a strange anomaly discovered in a sealed Abyss by the Human Empire.

In Hope World, the Abyssal Demons were an extremely powerful faction, possessing the strength to resist the entire world, so this dungeon was naturally not simple.

After entering the dungeon, the two immediately entered story mode, mainly explaining the cause of the anomaly discovered by the Human Empire.

The scene began to transform.

Ruined walls and broken fragments lay everywhere. The decayed bronze battlefield revealed a corner of wreckage. Snowy white bones clad in battered armor lay in every corner. The once-glorious battle flags had lost their colors and could no longer flutter. Blood-stained black-red shrouds seemed to still wrap the remains of some general…

Additionally, there were sharp-toothed monster skeletons. Piles of corpses as tall as small mountains showed the horror of the Abyssal Demons. Anyone could feel the brutality of this battle from them.

To let the Abyssal army return was to repeat such a history again…

Just as Jiang Chen’s heart stirred, the two officially stepped onto the dungeon’s first floor.
