Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1006, The Final Slots

Translator: Silavin

During their treatment, the Players who had entered the Dungeon Instance quietly complained to their fellow Family members. “This trial set by the Situ Family is far too difficult. The environment inside is extremely harsh. The moment I entered, I began continuously losing Health Points. I knew that the Situ Family’s trial would definitely be related to Fire Element Resistance, so before coming, I specifically changed into my highest Fire Resistance equipment. I even consumed Fire Element Resistance Potions before entering.”

“As a result, at the start, I could still hold out in the Dungeon Instance for a while, fighting and killing Monsters that Spawn. But as time passed, the temperature inside the Dungeon Instance would continuously climb, and the Monsters grew stronger and stronger. Even with my High Fire Element Resistance, I could barely withstand it. I really had no choice but to leave the Dungeon Instance.”

“I reckon the situations of others are similar to mine. No wonder Situ Xiong said he did not recommend multiple people forming teams to enter the Dungeon Instance. If our points are really cut in half based on the number of people, entering with two people simply cannot be made up for. Setting aside everything else, just the temperature inside alone is unbearable. I’d rather stay there alone for one hour than have a helper beside me and have to stay inside for two hours.”

Most complaints about the Dungeon Instance were essentially like this.

The high temperature in the Dungeon Instance was indeed extremely difficult to overcome. Therefore, even though they were Fifth Profession Players, each and every one could not withstand the combined assault of high temperature and Monsters, forced to exit one after another.

As for points, one could imagine that those who had already emerged would basically not have enough points. They were destined to not have a slot.

Meanwhile, those who stayed in the Dungeon Instance for a longer time were also not necessarily able to guarantee they would obtain a slot.

After all, if two people or more entered the Dungeon Instance, the points would be cut in half, and the final result might not necessarily be higher than those who had exited earlier.

As time passed, Players emerged one by one, each looking extremely dishevelled.

Hearing more and more complaints, Situ Xiong rubbed his nose and could not help but speak. “Everyone, I also know that you all have many grievances about the Dungeon Instance our Situ Family has set up. But, we are doing this to protect everyone. To be honest, the harshness of the environment in this Dungeon Instance pales in comparison to the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance. This is seriously nothing in comparison. If you can’t even endure the temperature in this Dungeon Instance, then going to the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance would be akin to a death sentence.”

“It’s not that our Situ Family deliberately created a high-difficulty Dungeon Instance to make things difficult for everyone. It truly is because the difficulty of the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance is too high. If we didn’t make things difficult for everyone, we would be sending those unfit to go to their deaths.”

Pausing briefly, Situ Xiong continued. “Everyone’s purpose in exploring the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance together with our Situ Family shouldn’t be to have one foot in the grave, right? Who enters a Dungeon Instance if not to Clear it and obtain its Rewards? If one’s life is lost, how could Rewards be obtained? So, I hope everyone will be understanding and also realize that if you can’t even be top-five in this Dungeon Instance, then you’re just not strong enough to proceed to the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance.”

With Situ Xiong’s words reaching this point, what objections could others have?

Everyone also clasped their fists and cupped their hands, expressing understanding of the Situ Family’s decision.

Everyone complained when they complained, but no one dared to actually point at Situ Xiong’s nose and claim their Situ Family’s Dungeon Instance design was the one that was problematic.

The Situ Family was right. They had set up this Dungeon Instance to select experts qualified to enter the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance.

If they could not handle it, then they were simply too weak.

As for joint exploration, they could forget about it.

After Situ Xiong’s speech, no one had any further objections.

At the same time, members of those Families who were destined to have no qualification for the joint exploration did not immediately leave.

Instead, they waited quietly to see which Families the final five slots would ultimately go to.

Counting carefully, the Families that had yet to emerge numbered to only five.

Basically, whoever next emerged from the Dungeon Instance should obtain a slot.

As the Dungeon Instance’s ripples undulated, a long-haired woman in ancient Dragon Country attire walked out.

This person’s appearance could be considered devastatingly beautiful. However, her lips were too thin and her nose bridge was too high, giving others a sense of her being really fierce.

Upon exiting the Dungeon Instance, this person looked around and, seeing that so many who had entered the Dungeon Instance had already come out, immediately broke into a slight smile.

Although she had also been heavily injured inside the Dungeon Instance, it now appeared that she had at least secured a slot.

“It’s Zhao Lingfeng from the Zhao Family,” the surrounding people recognized her and exclaimed in surprise. “I heard she only had her Fifth Profession Change a few years ago, and she is already this formidable?”

“To think she is able to surpass so many veteran Fifth Profession Players and successfully obtain a slot…”

Another person from a nearby Noble Family said. “You don’t know the full story. Zhao Lingfeng did indeed only have her Fifth Profession Change a few years ago, that’s true, but she herself is a once-in-a-century genius of the Zhao Family. Moreover, her Profession happens to be the Flame Overlord, which excels at controlling fire. In that Dungeon Instance, she should have been like a fish in water. Her Profession Characteristics perfectly matches the Dungeon Instance. So, of course her result would be better than others’.”

These words carried quite a bit of sourness.

Because everyone could see that, in truth, Zhao Lingfeng should not be strong enough to rank among the top five.

Yet, she had persevered to the end. So, who could argue with that?

With such a result, even if someone refused to accept it, there was nothing to be done.

Zhao Lingfeng did not acknowledge the words of others. She just returned to her own Family to receive treatment and wait for the rest in the Dungeon Instance to emerge before being invited by the Situ Family as one of those chosen for the joint exploration.

Following Zhao Lingfeng’s exit, several more people successively emerged from the Dungeon Instance.

These people’s expressions were basically the same as Zhao Lingfeng’s.

Seeing that they were among the last few to emerge, all of them concluded that their slots should be secure.

These people each had extraordinary backgrounds.

So far, them being the last few remaining did not exceed anyone’s expectations.

Soon, as an expert from the Kong Family emerged, those present looked around and discovered there seemed to be no one else left in the Dungeon Instance.

After Zhao Lingfeng checked and found she was exactly the fifth last person to exit the Dungeon Instance, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and, unable to contain her impatience, said. “Deputy Patriarch, since everyone has already exited the Dungeon Instance, it should be closed and the point rankings should be announced, shouldn’t they?”

“Yes, it’s time to let us know who exactly qualifies to explore together with the Situ Family.”

The others also spoke up.
