Chapter 148: Chapter 127: Holy Shit! President, You’re Famous!

Divine Radiance City, Dungeon Hall.

Because this was a joint strategy between two guilds entering the most dangerous 4A difficulty dungeon, Liu Xiongfei, the chairman of the Moon-devouring Celestial Wolf Guild, came in person. Showing none of the imposing aura of a Level 58 powerhouse, he affectionately held Yu Zhun’s hand.

"Chairman Yu, treat these nine guys like your own!" He pointed at the nine members of his guild in the strategy team. "If any of them dare to have ulterior motives, tell me once you’re out of the dungeon. I guarantee they’ll never be able to show their faces in Divine Radiance City again."

This was not only a show of sincerity but also a clear warning to his own members. A strategy team composed of two groups with different backgrounds could easily become cliquey and ostracize one another. It wasn’t appropriate for him to casually reveal the background of the Godslayer Guild to his members. Ignorant of this group’s true depths, his guildmates might look down on Yu Zhun’s group of six, leading to disunity during the dungeon run. This could become a serious problem if left unchecked. And what Liu Xiongfei wanted to do was nip it in the bud!

Sure enough, as Liu Xiongfei’s words fell, the expressions of several people in the team changed slightly. Their eyes flickered as they suppressed any improper thoughts they might have harbored.

"Don’t worry, Chairman. I will definitely cooperate with Chairman Yu to the fullest," Zhou Yunhao patted his chest and promised.

Seeing the other party’s attitude, the expressions of all the Godslayer Guild members became much friendlier. It was truly hard to be dissatisfied with such a cooperative ally.

"Rest assured, Chairman Liu," Yu Zhun smiled. "For this expedition, I’ll do my best to clear the dungeon. Who knows, if we’re lucky, I might even give you a surprise."

"A surprise?" Liu Xiongfei laughed. "Then I’ll be looking forward to Chairman Yu’s surprise."

During their chat, the staff had already finished calibrating the Teleportation Gate. A voice echoing throughout the entire Dungeon Hall rang out at this moment.

"Warriors entering the Giant Demon Valley dungeon, we wish you a triumphant return!"

At the same time, the Teleportation Gate corresponding to the Giant Demon Valley emitted a brilliant light, drawing the gaze of everyone in the Dungeon Hall. This was a special treatment reserved only for 4A difficulty dungeons. Those who embarked on this journey of uncertain life and death, regardless of their background and origin, were all warriors of Blue Star.

Facing the blessing gazes of the entire crowd, Yu Zhun and the others, who were entering a 4A Permanent Dungeon for the first time, couldn’t help but breathe a little faster. Feeling a surge of heroic pride in their hearts, they took large strides and unhesitatingly walked toward the Teleportation Gate.

"No matter how many times you challenge a 4A dungeon, a scene like this always makes it impossible to stay calm!" Zhou Yunhao laughed heartily, leading the rest of the Moon-devouring Celestial Wolf members closely behind.

The fifteen-person strategy team disappeared into the Teleportation Gate.

"You must come back alive..." Staring blankly at the gate, Liu Xiongfei clenched his fists and couldn’t help but murmur softly.

Suddenly, a voice drifted over from behind him. "Is this the foreign aid you found?"

"Oh!" Liu Xiongfei chuckled without even turning his head. "What wind blew Chairman Zhang of our Stargazer Guild here?"

"You old rascal, still as punchable as ever." Zhang Tianze, Chairman of the Stargazer Guild, twitched the corner of his mouth. Looking at the now-empty Teleportation Gate, he added, "For the End of the Red Land dungeon, I’ll admit you won this round."

"You’re not thinking of making a move against them, are you?" Liu Xiongfei raised an eyebrow. "Don’t blame me for not warning you. Be careful, or your guild might not survive."

"...Do I look like a guy whose information is that outdated?" Zhang Tianze glared at Liu Xiongfei. "I’ll naturally admit defeat when I lose. It’s just that the chief tactician I recently recruited is a bit unconvinced.

"I heard that the Chairman of the Godslayer Guild happened to randomly get the End of the Red Land for his First Turn trial. This sounds somewhat like taking a shortcut.

"He wanted to compete with the Chairman of the Godslayer Guild again, but looking at it now, it seems I’m a step too late."

"Compete?" Liu Xiongfei glanced at Zhang Tianze. "As long as you don’t drag me into it, I don’t care."

"Not drag you into it..." Zhang Tianze smiled strangely. "Could it be that your Moon-devouring Celestial Wolf isn’t participating in the new special dungeon?"

"Eh?" Liu Xiongfei was stunned. "When did this happen?"

"Half an hour ago, the Level 40 special dungeon Celestial Nether Lone Star opened, with a limited time of thirty days to clear it." Zhang Tianze looked at the Teleportation Gate, his gaze slightly profound. "Clearing the Giant Demon Valley dungeon takes fifteen days."

"Damn it..." Liu Xiongfei smacked his head, revealing a speechless expression. "Doesn’t that mean I just screwed them over?"

The value between a Permanent Dungeon and a special dungeon could be judged at a glance. Although perfectly clearing a special dungeon wasn’t that simple, and it would likely still be there when Yu Zhun and the others came out, being fifteen days late ultimately meant missing the initiative.

Looking at the annoyed Liu Xiongfei, Zhang Tianze spoke slowly. "This time, our Stargazer Guild is determined to win."

***

After disappearing into the Teleportation Gate, Yu Zhun and the others did not immediately enter the dungeon. Instead, they arrived in a chaotic space.

Lines of text appeared before their eyes.

[Welcome to the Permanent Dungeon: Giant Demon Valley (4A)]

[The dungeon rules are as follows:]

[1. All rewards within the dungeon are calculated immediately.]

[2. Death in the dungeon means death in the real world.]

[3. Once the cross-server matchmaking target is reached, all members will immediately enter the dungeon. Current matched teams: 27/36.]

[4. Before the dungeon is cleared, no player can leave the dungeon.]

[They have never despaired; they are merely struggling as they wait for a miracle!]

"There are thirty-six teams in total. That’s quite a lot of people," Yu Zhun couldn’t help but sigh in realization as he looked at the cross-server matchmaking numbers.

Unlike the single-player dungeon Nether Abyss, the 4A difficulty of a Permanent Dungeon was matched by teams. Assuming all teams were fully staffed with fifteen members, the number of people entering the dungeon this time would reach a whopping 540.
