Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Cloud Gamer Yu Zhuzhu

Inside the [Godslayer] guild, five members each held a document, studying the contents carefully.

These documents were left behind by Zhu Zhe before he departed. They contained publicly available strategy guides from various guilds, alongside assessments from dungeon analysts. Considering the immense value of perfectly clearing a special dungeon, it was inevitable that the major guilds held back some information. Being able to obtain this much valuable intel was already the limit of what the Divine Revelation Hall could provide.

The further they read, the more alarmed the five became.

"This [Red Moon Tide] dungeon really is quite special." Yu Zhun exhaled softly and set down the document in his hand. "No wonder so many powerful guilds participated in it. Let alone a perfect clear, there aren’t even many who managed a normal clear."

In terms of difficulty, the special dungeon [Red Moon Tide] was exponentially harder than the Lv30 permanent dungeons Yu Zhun had tackled before. Not to mention anything else, just the simplest mechanic was staggering.

The currently known Boss of this dungeon had eight lives and eight distinct forms. A single form was already more powerful than the bosses found in permanent dungeons, and each form boasted entirely different skills and combat styles. Even the sequence of these eight forms was completely randomized. According to the analysts, it was highly likely that this dungeon also harbored hidden Bosses that no one had been able to trigger yet. Of course, this didn’t rule out the possibility that some strategy teams had triggered a hidden Boss but simply failed to make it out alive.

As for its type, [Red Moon Tide] seamlessly integrated story, mechanism, and power elements. Any minor storyline within it could easily rival a lower-difficulty permanent dungeon.

"Yeah, it really is difficult," Ji Xiaoyu said, her face somewhat solemn. She had already recognized whose handwriting graced the margins of those documents. Even her own grandfather couldn’t find a way to perfectly clear it, which spoke volumes about the sheer difficulty of this special dungeon.

"No matter how hard it is, we have to try," Su Hong said, his gaze firm. "We’ve perfectly cleared quite a few dungeons, and I believe this one won’t be an exception!"

"I... I’ll do my best too!" Su Yue stared intently at the documents, absorbing the terrifyingly difficult dungeon stages. She was determined to keep up with her Healing!

Salas didn’t speak, but judging by his thoughtful expression, it was obvious he was already brainstorming what useful items he could craft for this expedition.

"Although there are only three days left for the [Red Moon Tide] strategy period, we can’t rush things." Yu Zhun looked at the other four members. "We’ll set off tomorrow morning. Everyone should make extra preparations tonight, just in case."

The group nodded in unison.

"Guild Master, when is that archer... coming?" Ji Xiaoyu suddenly asked in a soft voice.

"[Red Moon Tide] isn’t located within the vicinity of the Main City, but the powerhouses of the Divine Revelation Hall have already cleared out the nearby Demon Beasts in advance and left a teleportation point there." Yu Zhun took out a Teleportation Artifact given to him by Zhu Zhe. "That archer isn’t coming to Divine Strategy City. Tomorrow, they will meet up with us directly at the entrance of the [Red Moon Tide] dungeon."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoyu nodded, though she looked a bit nervous.

"What’s wrong?" Sensing the rich lady’s strange mood, Yu Zhun couldn’t help but ask.

"Nothing." Ji Xiaoyu shook her head vigorously.

"Alright then." Yu Zhun didn’t suspect anything else. "Then let’s call it a day."

"Yu Zhuzhu, time to eat!"

Placing the piping hot dishes on the dining table, Yu Zhun called out to the living room, but he received no response. Raising an eyebrow, he walked over and found Yu Zhu completely engrossed in a stack of papers.

They were the [Red Moon Tide] strategy documents he had brought back and casually tossed onto the living room table.

"Stop reading and come eat." Yu Zhun snatched the documents away and gently patted her head. "Go wash your hands first."

"Oh, right..." Yu Zhu nodded absentmindedly. She quickly washed her hands and hurried back to the table. "Yu Zhun, are you guys going to clear a new dungeon again?"

During his recent dungeon runs, Yu Zhun would often share the process with Yu Zhu whenever he had free time. Although Yu Zhu was incredibly strong in theory, she hadn’t entered the Divine Revelation World yet, making her practical experience virtually zero. Naturally, she was heavily invested in his stories.

"Yeah." Yu Zhun handed her a bowl and chopsticks. "This dungeon is quite different from the previous ones."

"It really is different." Yu Zhu popped a bite of food into her mouth and nodded seriously. "The difficulty seems much higher."

"But the rewards are also huge." Yu Zhun smiled. "If we can conquer this dungeon, I should be able to reach the First Turn soon."

"Really?" Yu Zhu’s eyes lit up.

The levels of Divine Revelation players varied, but they were generally divided into three stages based on their class advancements: Initial, First Turn, and Second-Turn. Among the Divine Revelation players—who made up only 3% of Blue Star’s population—about 98% were in the initial stage, while 2% were in the First Turn Stage. The status of a First Turn player was leagues above that of an initial player.

As for the Second-Turn... the number of Second-Turn players was so scarce that they couldn’t even be measured by a percentage. There were barely over a hundred of them on all of Blue Star.

Realizing the importance of [Red Moon Tide], Yu Zhu eagerly began discussing the dungeon strategy with Yu Zhun. As a "cloud player," she was determined to contribute to the guild too!

"I’ve read the strategy analysis. It mentioned two conflicting strategy routes but mainly focuses on studying the second one." Yu Zhu stuffed a mouthful of rice into her cheeks. "I actually think the first one is much more interesting."

"It is interesting, but also very dangerous," Yu Zhun agreed, nodding. "To this day, no one has cleared the first strategy route. On the other hand, the second route has already been cleared by strategy teams, and they managed to unravel the main storyline of the dungeon."

"But the second route makes a perfect clear impossible." Yu Zhu shook her head. "I feel like they could be combined."

"Combine two conflicting strategy methods?" Yu Zhun’s chopsticks paused in mid-air as a thoughtful expression crept onto his face. A moment later, an idea seemed to strike him, and he smiled. "That’s a good suggestion. I’ll try it tomorrow."

"Then if you manage to perfectly clear it using my suggestion, does that mean I get a share of the credit?" Yu Zhu asked with a cheeky grin.

"Of course." Yu Zhun chuckled. "If we really pull off a perfect clear thanks to your advice, once you enter the Divine Revelation World, I’ll reward you with a piece of Lv5 Epic Equipment that you can use right in the Newbie Area."

"Lv5 Red Equipment?!" Yu Zhu’s eyes sparkled. "Yu Zhun, you actually have such amazing stuff!"

Yu Zhu knew that Yu Zhun had kept two pieces of Lv5 Master Level equipment for her. However, she had no idea about the Epic Equipment. Giving her something he was already planning to give her, yet framing it as a prize—this was what he liked to call a recyclable reward.

"Here, try this sweet and sour pineapple pork." Yu Zhun picked up a piece with his chopsticks and placed it in her bowl.

"Okay..." Yu Zhu tossed it into her mouth without a second thought. The very next second, her face scrunched up in agony. "It’s ginger again!!"
