Chapter 1 Training

In the Excellent Era training room, the team members exchanged confused glances. They had all seen the latest system announcement. Happy's new record was far ahead of theirs, making their run of the dungeon completely meaningless.

"How could this be?" Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf was blasted away and rolled on the ground. When he stood up again, he didn't charge back. The guy had already started muttering to himself.

But professional players weren't famous for nothing. Xiao Shiqin was stunned for a moment, then after a brief analysis, he felt that there was nothing to criticize about their way of fighting. Perhaps Happy had performed better, or perhaps their equipment was stronger than what Excellent Era was currently using. But to widen the gap by such a large margin couldn't be achieved by these reasons alone.

Xiao Shiqin thought for a moment and realized the problem.

Boss number one!

Happy must have solved the signal flare before Boss number one died, thus modifying the dungeon difficulty, which allowed them to achieve a result that was completely on a different level.

"Boss number one's signal flare? That's right, it must be that link." Sun Xiang immediately realized after hearing Xiao Shiqin's words.

"There's no need to continue farming, right? Quickly tell the guild department to send another batch of accounts. We need to carefully study this Boss number one," Sun Xiang shouted.

Xiao Shiqin heard this, wasn't this the situation he was most worried about? He was afraid that the team would focus all their attention on studying the dungeon because of their rivalry with Ye Qiu.

Dungeons were PVE, and professional players had always put all their heart and soul into PVP. Ye Qiu and the others farming these dungeons, their ultimate goal was definitely to improve their PVP strength. But now the players on Excellent Era's side actually wanted to focus on this, which was a bit putting the cart before the horse.

"Let's not rush!" Xiao Shiqin quickly came out to dissuade him. "This run isn't that much worse. Let's just finish it like this. There's also the Gray Corner's Underground Market for the 10-man team dungeon. Let's go farm that first! Ye Qiu and the others should be improving their results there next."

Sun Xiang couldn't wait to turn the tables, but this dungeon had some tricks. Sending another character would only be another CD, and if they wanted to research it, it would be like exploring new territory, and they definitely wouldn't be able to get good results. And how many CDs would it take to research it? Sun Xiang wasn't sure and felt that this counterattack seemed a bit slow. So, when he heard Xiao Shiqin's suggestion to quickly kill their way out and change to the next dungeon to compete with Happy, it was very much to his liking. So he turned around and urged everyone, "Speed, speed!"

Ye Xiu and the others, after blasting through Bandit Lair of Mount Yinchuan, immediately headed to Gray Corner. They planned to take down the record again like they did with Bandit Lair of Mount Yinchuan, making Excellent Era run in vain.

However, they hadn't yet discovered a way to change the dungeon process like they did in Bandit Lair of Mount Yinchuan in Gray Corner's Underground Market, but Ye Xiu and the others were still full of confidence.

Their team might not be as tacit and tactically sophisticated as a professional team like Excellent Era, but in terms of this team dungeon, Happy was above Excellent Era.

Because this was what they used to practice team cooperation every day. In comparison, it was as if it were their home field. Two CDs a day, for so many days, Excellent Era couldn't catch up to their familiarity, no matter how hard they tried.

"Just like regular training, don't be too nervous." Ye Xiu said before starting the Underground Market. Although the record score of Bandit Lair of Mount Yinchuan had scared Excellent Era, Ye Xiu knew in his heart that they hadn't played perfectly. Perhaps it was because of this direct competition that everyone's mentality was a bit more tense. So this time, Ye Xiu specifically said something. But he could only say the words, and what would happen specifically would depend on the individual.

The dungeon opened. They continued to advance quickly. Mo Fan, who never followed everyone in team training, had been following everyone in daily practice since the output dragging incident. It was just that the new dungeons were being farmed now, and this guy probably hadn't realized yet that this was actually how Happy had trained in dungeons in the past.

With Mo Fan's integration, the team's combat power naturally increased greatly. Don't look at how Mo Fan's Deception's current output was still only stronger than Chen Guo's Chasing Haze and Luo Ji's Concealed Light. But his integration at least wouldn't make him an obstacle to others anymore. And sometimes, in accordance with Deception's professional characteristics, he could also cooperate to create some combat methods that strengthened output.

41 minutes, 37 seconds, 11 milliseconds.

Happy took the lead in updating the new record, which was a lot better than their original deliberately watered-down record. Excellent Era, who were a step late, were still fighting in the dungeon at this time. Happy's newly released result gave them a clear goal to pursue.

"Fast, speed! A little faster!"

This was the command from Excellent Era's captain, Sun Xiang, which was basically this kind of mental urging. As for specific team operations and cooperation, it was basically Xiao Shiqin who was in charge.

When Happy's results came out, the Excellent Era people also subconsciously paid attention to the time they entered the dungeon, and then breathed a sigh of relief. This time, the other party's time was at least not less than their current time. They still had hope.

But the size of this hope...

The players who were fighting and calculating at the same time all came to unfavorable conclusions. Especially Xiao Shiqin, who judged the most clearly, and was of course the closest to the truth. At this stage, just this stable style of play made it impossible for Excellent Era to surpass Happy's score of 41 minutes, 37 seconds, and 11 milliseconds. But if they didn't play like this, Xiao Shiqin didn't know what better way to improve. Even professional players needed time to research this kind of thing. Xiao Shiqin only hoped that if they lost again this time, everyone could remain calm. Don't jump up in a you-die-I-live posture.

The development of the facts was really not what Xiao Shiqin wanted. Before the final result came out, when the defeat was obvious, Sun Xiang had already jumped into a rage, wishing that his characters could all turn into three heads and six arms, resisting a hundred with one, and destroying this dungeon completely with a poke of his finger.

And then the final truth was that they had exceeded Happy's guild's time during the final Boss battle. The final score was two and a half minutes longer than Happy's dungeon record.

Two and a half minutes sounded very short, but when it appeared in a record, it could be said to be a ravine. To fill this ravine, the effort required would probably not be less than studying the signal flare of Boss number one of Bandit Lair of Mount Yinchuan. Xiao Shiqin's heart added another shadow. This Ye Qiu was really constantly creating trouble! The more he was afraid of something, the more he wanted to do it.
