Chapter 248 This Psychic Must Be Your Girlfriend, Right?
"Don't talk so pessimistically!" Zhang Yuanqing slapped her on the side of her翘臀. "Didn't I tell you to ask your cousin, who likes to subdue people with virtue, for some treasures before entering the instance?"
"You go ask, you go ask..." Guan Ya spat at him. "He might not give me good stuff, but he'll definitely give it to you."
That guy had a top-tier reconnaissance item, which he gave to Fu Qingyang. And Fu Qingyang always thought of him whenever he had good stuff.
Who's the cousin and who's the girlfriend, exactly?
Zhang Yuanqing chuckled. "Who told you to be trash?"
"Zhang Yuanqing, do you want to die?" Guan Ya said, enraged, and raised her hand to chop him with a knife-hand strike.
"Shh, don't say my real name, Ling Xi might be listening."
"Forget it, the price of her item is a fifteen-minute ringing in the ears after each use, she won't use it casually."
"How do you know?"
"I borrowed it when I was doing a mission."
Zhang Yuanqing said "Oh", opened the chat software, created a temporary group, and pulled all the Saints in the gang into the group, including Asano Ryo from Japan. To make it easier to contact the organization, she specially downloaded a Chinese version of the chat software.
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Everyone, you've seen the gang instance information, right? Unfortunately, the first Saint-stage instance is S-rank. Considering my level, the danger of the instance is conceivable. Anyone who wants to quit can say so now.]
An S-rank instance was one where even he didn't have a guarantee of survival.
The Saints in the gang, except for Xiahou Aotian, were all Level 4. The risk of entering the instance was too high.
There was no choice with Spiritual Realm instances, but gang instances could be withdrawn from. The people in the group were all friends, girlfriends,暧昧对象, and possible 暧昧对象, so Zhang Yuanqing felt it was necessary to remind them.
[Zhao Chenghuang: I've reported to my great-grandfather. If I die in the instance, he won't cause you trouble. This is my own choice.]
[Xiahou Aotian: I don't need to report to my family. My experience is at 89%. If I can clear this S-rank instance, I can smoothly advance to Level 6.]
[Hongjige: @Xiahou Aotian, of course you don't need to report. Your family is too lazy to care about you. My experience is at 77%. If I can clear the S-rank gang instance and then clear a solo Spiritual Realm instance this month, I'll be Level 5.]
[Xiahou Aotian: @Hongjige, shut up if you can't talk. Look at Tianxiaguihuo. You're both Fire Masters, how can the difference be so great?]
[Hongjige: Nonsense, he's a disgrace to Fire Masters, can he be the same?]
[Tianxiaguihuo: If it means abandoning my brain, I'd rather be a disgrace.]
[Hongjige: What do you mean? Are you implying I'm brainless? Want to fight?]
[Sun Miaomiao: He's saying it outright.]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: All of you, shut the hell up!]
Seriously, the moment Hongjige comes in, the scene goes out of control...
Zhang Yuanqing stabilized the situation with his prestige.
[Yuanshi Tianzun: No one's quitting? Asano Ryo, don't you know Chinese?]
[Asano Ryo: I do, Yuanshi-kun. I also want to level up, and I believe Yuanshi-kun can lead us to clear the instance smoothly. Please (bows).]
[Hongjige: You know, these Japanese people are really interesting, always bowing.]
[Sun Miaomiao: The dedication to craftsmanship is still commendable (laughs).]
[Xiahou Aotian: Is that character typed wrong?]
[Sun Miaomiao: No, it's not.]
[Xiahou Aotian: Oh, you're mocking the Japanese. Do you believe she'll spray you with nuclear wastewater?]
Asano Ryo silently watched the screen, feeling the deep malice from foreign friends, but she didn't dare to quarrel with them in the group, and could only secretly curse in her heart: Baga~
After some exchanges, no one in the group quit. Xiahou Aotian, like Xiaoyuan, was only one high
Difficulty instance away from leveling up. Hongjige hoped to push his experience to the peak of his current level through the S-rank instance. The others would enter the late stages of their current levels.
An S-rank instance could save them at least two months. As for Zhang Yuanqing himself, he was currently at 7% experience, belonging to the early stages of Level 6. If he could raise his experience to over 90%, his hard power would double.
The two Level 6 Yin Corpses sealed in Little Red Riding Hood could be refined. One person, five Level 6 Yin Corpses, not counting the Spiritual Servant. Who at Level 6 would be his opponent?
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Since no one's quitting, I'll explain some precautions in the group. For everyone's safety, please take out the Dominator-stage items and materials. Don't put them in the item bar, and don't think about exploiting bugs. The Spiritual Realm won't give us a chance. Once you carry Dominator-stage items, it will bring disaster to the team.]
He said this mainly to the dungeon team.
[Hongjige: Where would we get Dominator-stage items? You can't even buy that stuff if you want to.]
[Yuanshi Tianzun: No Dominator-stage items is best. Get ready, enter the gang instance at ten o'clock.]
It was nine-thirty now. He needed to give Tianxiaguihuo and the others some time to store their items.
It's worth mentioning that Zhang Yuanqing had already handed over the Dominator-level materials and the Five Elements Chaos experience card to Fu Qingyang, asking him to keep them safe.
The only Dominator-level item he currently had was the Azure Emperor Jade Belt. However, this item had great limitations. The Beast Transformation amplification couldn't cross stages. When Zhang Yuanqing advanced to the Dominator stage in the future, using this jade belt would still give him amplification, but now that he was at the Saint stage, the Beast Transformation would only reach the peak of Level 6 at most.
"Has your Yin-Yang Disc application been approved?" Guan Ya asked.
Before the instance generated, the two had discussed late into the night what to do if they were matched with an S-rank instance. To ensure the team's survival rate, the first thing was to "de-Dominatorize," and the second was to prepare more top-tier Saint-stage items, including the Yin-Yang Disc and the Holy Infant.
When Zhang Yuanqing returned the Yin-Yang Disc, he had an agreement with the Huaihai Branch that he could borrow the Yin-Yang Disc three times. The Huaihai Branch agreed, but added a condition: it required Fu Qingyang's permission.
Fu Qingyang, of course, allowed it and submitted an application to headquarters, but headquarters blocked the application, without saying no, but every time Qian Gongzi called headquarters, the reply was the same: it's in the process, please wait patiently!
They were just disgusting him, just blocking him. The process could take a few days, or a few months, or even years.
"The application was approved. Fu Qingyang finally went to the leader of the Huaihai Branch and gave the Huaihai Branch an 80 million sponsorship in the name of the Fu family. Hey, the application was approved the same day."
Zhang Yuanqing sneered, "That money was probably split between the Huaihai Branch and some people at headquarters."
Hearing this, Guan Ya frowned. Some people at headquarters and the Huaihai Branch were using their power to rip off Fu Qingyang.
Eighty million could buy a top-tier item, although most of them were priceless.
"Neither you nor Fu Qingyang are people who like to suffer losses. Have you thought about how to get revenge?" Guan Ya said.
Zhang Yuanqing smiled evilly, "Now that the Yin-Yang Disc is here with me, it won't be so easy to take it back. After we leave the instance, I'll tell the Huaihai Branch that the Yin-Yang Disc..."
He clapped his hands "Poof! It's gone!"
Guan Ya frowned, "What a lousy idea, will the Huaihai Branch agree? Will headquarters agree?"
"Don't worry, when we signed the agreement, it was clearly written in black and white that if the Yin-Yang Disc was lost, the Huaihai Branch would take back everything they gave me and headquarters would erase one of my B-level merits."
Zhang Yuanqing spoke eloquently, "Fifty million in cash, a Saint-quality item, B-level merits. They can take the merits, they don't mean much to me anymore. I've already broken up with headquarters, what would I do with merits?"
"I don't lack Saint-quality items. As for the fifty million in cash, hey, I've already put this house in老大's name. There's not much balance in my bank card, and I've already converted it into cash. There's no money. At worst, they'll define me as a debt dodger and deduct a sum from my salary every month to pay off the debt, but would I care about that? Compared to the Yin
Yang Disc, these are nothing."
"You're really insidious," Guan Ya pinched her boyfriend's face.
"Your brother is the insidious one. This is his idea. Evil people have their own nemesis."
Zhang Yuanqing hummed, "Since they don't play by the rules, don't blame us for deceiving and ambushing them. They'll have to spit out everything they ate."
As they were talking, it was ten o'clock in the morning. Zhang Yuanqing opened the gang interface and clicked "Mo Sect Mechanical City." He heard the Spiritual Realm's familiar prompt. After a 30-second countdown, the scenery in front of him rippled and blurred.
A hazy "wave of light" rippled, and then the picture calmed down. Blue sky, white clouds, and green mountains and rivers came into view.
Zhang Yuanqing found himself on a narrow path, with dense forests in front of him and undulating mountains like dragons in the distance. Behind him, the fields were covered with undulating green grass, dotted with colorful wildflowers.
Beside him was Guan Ya. Further away were Xiaoyuan, Tianxiaguihuo, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, Xiahou Aotian, Hongjige, and Asano Ryo, a total of nine people.
"Hello, everyone! Long time no see!" Hongjige took the lead in starting a enthusiastic interaction, shaking hands with Sun Miaomiao and the others one by one.
Tianxiaguihuo ignored him. Hongjige ran to shake hands warmly with Asano Ryo. "So you're such a beautiful girl, so obedient looking. Let me introduce myself, Hongjige from Huadu. We people from Huadu are very low-key. Does Asano-meimei have a boyfriend? I'll introduce you to one."
Tianxiaguihuo said calmly, "The way you act is like you're from Northeast China."
Hongjige ignored him completely and trotted to Xiaoyuan, exclaiming at her cold beauty, and shouting, "Yuanshi Tianzun, is this Xiaoyuan? The psychic who betrayed her camp for you in the Five Elements Chaos instance? Aiyo, she's really beautiful. Is she your girlfriend?"
Xiaoyuan glanced at him coldly, then looked at Guan Ya and said, "The real girlfriend is over there."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Guan Ya.
Hongjige's hearty smile froze on his face.
Guan Ya smiled generously, "Hello, my name is Guan Ya, Yuanshi's girlfriend."
"Ah, this... Lei hou lei hou, ahahaha, hahahaha..." Hongjige laughed awkwardly a few times.
That stinky man, he already has a girlfriend, but he's still暧昧 with a psychic, and, and he often teases me... Sun Miaomiao pouted angrily, her face falling immediately.
How could he bring his girlfriend and 暧昧对象 into the instance together? Too unwise... Tianxiaguihuo frowned secretly. Such a brain-dead operation didn't seem like something Yuanshi Tianzun would do. It would be normal if it were Xiahou Aotian or Hongjige.
Yuanshi Yaozun, that kid, has a good eye for girlfriends, but how can he let two women meet? Does he think he's the main character?...
Xiahou Aotian felt that this kid didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He didn't have the life of the main character but got the main character's disease. He, the main character, hadn't even found a confidante yet, although he felt that he didn't need such troublesome creatures as women.
At this time, everyone received a Spiritual Realm notification at the same time:
[Ding! Please arrive at the Mo Sect before dark.]
"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Yuanqing seized the opportunity to break the awkward atmosphere and said without changing his expression, "The side quest is out, arrive at the Mo Sect before dark. This means the Mo Sect isn't far from us, but it's not close either. I'll search the nearby hills."
He turned his gaze to the overlapping mountains, "You guys wait here." After saying that, he took out the azure Gale Rider gloves, pressed his palms down, and in the "woo" of the gale, floated over the forest, flying towards the distant mountains.
Watching Yuanshi Tianzun quickly fly away, everyone tacitly flashed the same thought: He's running away!
The blue sky was like a wash, and the clouds were like marshmallows frozen in the sky.
Zhang Yuanqing looked down, the lush treetops spreading like a green carpet, covering the terrain.
He quickly reached the nearest peak, flying around the overlapping hills, landing several times during the process to cool down his flight skills.
Half an hour later, with no gains, he returned to the team, "I didn't see any architectural ruins," Zhang Yuanqing
Shook his head.
After saying that, he emptied his brain and waited for his teammates to analyze. Everyone here was talented. Although they didn't have a pleasant voice like him, their brains were useful.
Sure enough, the shame of Fire Masters never disappointed, pondering, "The Mo Sect Mechanical City shouldn't be too far away. If it's too far away, we won't find it in a day. But since we're given a day, it'll probably take some effort to find the entrance. It should be in this mountain range."
The idea became clear all at once.
"Then how do we find the entrance?" Hongjige asked if he didn't understand, habitually emptying his brain.
Guan Ya was about to speak when she suddenly saw a farmer leading an ox in the field behind her. Her eyes lit up, and she smiled sweetly, "Isn't that what we need."
Zhang Yuanqing led his teammates to rush over. Seeing a group of people in strange clothes rushing towards him, the farmer was startled and pulled the reins to run back.
"Uncle, wait a moment!" Zhang Yuanqing blocked his retreat.
"You, who are you?" The farmer looked at them in horror.
"Have you heard of the Mo Sect Mechanical City?" Zhang Yuanqing asked directly.
Hearing this, the farmer's face changed drastically, and he knelt down with a thud, his voice shrill, "Don't, don't take me there, please, gentlemen, don't take me there."
