Chapter 101: Chapter 101: You... It’s You?!

Good news: The [Godslayer] Guild had obtained a special Dungeon.

Bad news: This special Dungeon could no longer drop Red Equipment.

Good news: The Dungeon could be challenged infinitely all day long.

Bad news: If a single person challenged it multiple times in a day, the rewards would diminish.

"So... why is there a diminishing mechanism?" Ji Xiaoyu looked heartbroken. "I thought we could enter infinitely!"

"I don’t know either," Yu Zhun shrugged helplessly. "The data didn’t mention this. I suspect it’s the Deep Red Demon Lord’s doing."

After all, the power originated from it. It was entirely possible that it had sneakily left behind some restrictions just to spite Yu Zhun. Considering it had dropped four weapons but deliberately excluded Assassin weapons, this possibility was quite high. This Deep Red Demon Lord was absolute scum!

"If everyone runs it three times a day, the profits are still pretty good," Yu Zhun smiled reassuringly. "More than three times, and the returns get a bit low. We might as well run Permanent Dungeons instead."

"If everyone only runs it three times a day..." Su Hong looked thoughtful. "That might be a bit of a waste."

After all, they only had six people. Even if all six ran it solo, they couldn’t keep the Dungeon running around the clock, twenty-four hours a day. If it couldn’t run continuously, it was a loss! Not to mention, their two Priests didn’t even have the ability to run it solo. This made it an even bigger loss.

"Guild Master, I have two ways to cut our losses!" Su Hong looked at Yu Zhun.

"Let’s hear them." Yu Zhun looked curious. He was always very interested in cutting losses.

"The first is to recruit more guild members," Su Hong said, pausing for a moment. "With more members, we can naturally run the Dungeon more times and keep it active around the clock.

"Besides, the only thing keeping our guild from upgrading to a Three-Star Guild is our member count. As long as we release the news that we have a special Dungeon, I believe many excellent players will be willing to join us."

In the entire Divine Strategy City, the [Godslayer] Guild was the only one with such an asset. It was only because this news hadn’t spread yet; otherwise, their doors would have been knocked down by eager applicants!

Hearing this, Yu Zhun shook his head slightly. "That won’t work."

When he founded the guild, he had already decided to take the path of quality over quantity. Although the [Godslayer] Guild was currently a Two-Star Guild, their priority in applying for Dungeons was unmatched. In other words, they didn’t lack Dungeon resources. Furthermore, the maximum application limit for a Two-Star Guild was Lv40 Dungeons, which was completely sufficient for now.

"The [Godslayer] Guild doesn’t just recruit strong people; we only recruit the right people."

As Yu Zhun’s words fell, the other five guild members looked at him, their eyes filled with deep emotion.

"Understood." Su Hong looked at Yu Zhun with admiration. "Then let me share the second plan.

"Renting it out.

"The special Dungeon, [Red Moon Tide], is extremely attractive even to Three-Star Guilds. We can rent out the timeslots we don’t use to other guilds and let them pay to run it.

"To avoid management troubles, the Guild Master can authorize the Divine Revelation Hall to manage [Red Moon Tide] on our behalf and place it in the Dungeon Hall. However, the daily schedule will still be entirely decided by us."

"We can do that?" Yu Zhun’s eyes lit up.

"There’s a fee," Sheila, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, there is a certain management fee, but compared to our profits, it’s practically negligible," Su Hong explained with a smile.

For a Dungeon that could drop Purple Equipment, charging a million per entry was perfectly reasonable, right? What? You say you don’t have a guide and can’t clear it? No problem, the [Godslayer] Guild would provide you with a perfect guide! Their focus was entirely on attentive service and utmost care.

Yu Zhun immediately made the decision. "Good! It’s settled then!"

Meanwhile, in Divine Strategy City, at the [Holy Law Celestial Horse] Guild.

"Guild Master, we have news!" A guild player strode into Long Zhan’s office, his expression somewhat nervous. "The [Godslayer] Guild announced that they own the special Dungeon, [Red Moon Tide], and stated that it’s open for rent to other guilds, with them providing the strategy guides."

The office was somewhat dim. Long Zhan’s head was slightly lowered, lost in thought. Upon hearing the news, he merely replied flatly, "Got it. You may leave."

"Yes, sir!" The scout quickly left the room.

Once the office door closed again, Long Zhan slowly raised his head, glaring at the pale-faced Liu Yunze sitting in the lower seat. "Didn’t you say [Red Moon Tide] couldn’t be cleared perfectly?"

"I..." Liu Yunze’s pupils shrank. He knew that Long Zhan was truly furious now.

This wasn’t just because of their initial failure to clear [Red Moon Tide]. It was also because after the [Godslayer] Guild entered the Dungeon, the [Holy Law Celestial Horse] Guild had their clearing qualifications revoked by the Divine Revelation Hall for secretly inciting other guilds.

A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead. He knew that if he didn’t say something right now, he would probably be killed on the spot by the enraged Long Zhan.

"This... this might not be a bad thing," Liu Yunze said rapidly. "If other guilds perfectly cleared [Red Moon Tide], we wouldn’t even get a piece of the pie. But now that it’s the [Godslayer] Guild who cleared it, we can rent the Dungeon from them! Although we targeted them previously, it was all done in secret. They probably don’t know..."

"Fool!" Long Zhan shouted in a low voice, looking at Liu Yunze with sheer disgust. "The Profession Guild is backing the [Godslayer] Guild! Do you think they wouldn’t tell them what we’ve been doing? With our previous grudge, how could they possibly rent [Red Moon Tide] to us!"

"Then..." Liu Yunze turned pale. "Then what do you want to do? Knowing that the Profession Guild is backing them, do you still want to openly oppose the [Godslayer] Guild?"

"Of course not." A dangerous light flickered in Long Zhan’s eyes. Suddenly, he flashed right in front of Liu Yunze.

"You..."

Liu Yunze’s eyes were filled with absolute terror. At Lv30, he was no match for a Lv54 First-Turn Professional. In an instant, his health bar was emptied, and he dissolved into motes of light.

"I wouldn’t dare openly stand against the Divine Revelation Hall," Long Zhan said flatly, now alone in the dim office. "But someone else will.

"Since a mere six people from the [Godslayer] Guild perfectly cleared [Red Moon Tide], we just need to secretly spread a fake rumor that the owner of the SSS-grade Talent, [Open and Aboveboard], is in their guild...

"Someone will surely believe it, right?"

"Indeed," a faint voice suddenly echoed from behind him.

Long Zhan’s pupils contracted. He whipped his head around, and upon seeing the newcomer clearly, his expression instantly contorted in terror.

"You... It’s you?!"
