Hall of Awakening for Professionals.
Liu Shishuang tied up her wavy hair and wore black armor, which completely covered her stunning figure.
She crossed her arms and waited impatiently for someone.
At this moment, four tall men slowly walked towards her, the leader being a rugged man in his thirties.
He wore blood-red armor, carried a two-meter-long axe on his shoulder, and had a fierce look in his eyes.
This person's name is Duan Liuceng, and he is a level 40 Gold Knight.
Duan Liuceng was secretly astonished when he saw the outstanding-looking Liu Shishuang from afar.
"What a fat sheep."
"Boss, you're in luck."
When Duan Liuceng's underlings saw Liu Shishuang, they all fawned over him and flattered him.
He grinned wickedly, greedily eyeing Liu Shishuang.
"If she's willing to be your sister-in-law, then she's lucky."
"If she doesn't want to, hehe."
At this point, Duan Liuceng's eyes turned fierce.
"I'll give you all some pleasure before she dies."
Upon hearing Duan Liuceng's words, the three henchmen experienced an immediate mental orgasm.
"Thank you, boss. We will follow you to the death."
"Hehe, let's go."
Duan Liuceng took a step forward and quickly came up behind Liu Shishuang.
"Hello, Ms. Liu."
Liu Shishuang turned her head away and saw Duan Liuceng and the other three. A hint of displeasure flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Duan Liuceng was the team Liu Shishuang saw in the team-up lobby. All four of them were level 40, and they were one player short, so Liu Shishuang applied to join their team.
She thought that as long as she could clear the level once, it didn't matter which team she was on.
She wasn't very interested in entering the instance, so she rarely learned about its hidden information.
"You've finally arrived. Let's hurry into the dungeon."
Duan Liu smiled politely.
"Okay, Miss Liu."
They chose a level 41 normal dungeon, which was not dangerous.
Dungeons are divided into: Normal Dungeons, Hard Dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, and Special Dungeons.
[Normal Dungeon: Low difficulty, suitable for beginner players. Enemies are relatively weak, rules are simple, and the success rate is close to 100%.]
[Hard Dungeons: Enemies have increased health and combat power, requiring teamwork and tactical coordination. The drop rate is also higher.]
[Nightmare Dungeon: The enemies are extremely powerful, possessing unimaginable intelligence and combat strength. Clearing the dungeon will reward you with extremely rare materials or equipment.]
[Special Dungeons: Dungeons that are created under specific conditions, with unpredictable difficulty and rewards.]
Liu Shishuang and Duan Liuceng arrived at the registration hall, paid the entrance fee, and then chose to form a five-person team for the normal dungeon.
"Let's go."
Duan Liucheng, acting as a gentleman, invited Liu Shishuang to enter the instance first.
Liu Shishuang didn't think much of it and strode inside with her long legs.
Duan Liuceng chuckled evilly, greedily watching Liu Shishuang's retreating figure, before leading his three henchmen inside.
Welcome to the joss paper money instance!
[Dungeon Level: Normal]
[Level Restriction: Level 41 or below]
[Number of participants limited to 5 or fewer]
[Completion Requirements: Kill all monsters.]
The instance is a desolate world, devoid of sunlight and filled with eerie atmosphere.
The ground was covered with bones and dust, and the air was filled with the smell of death and decay.
In the distance stands a massive loess plateau, towering into the clouds and radiating a suffocating aura of oppression.
Surrounding the Loess Plateau are many monsters, all yellow in color and as thin as cicada wings, called "Paper Money Monsters".
[Paper Money Monster:]
Grade: Common
Level: 30
Health: 1230/1230
Blue Amount: 120/120
Strength: 30
Spirit: 30
Agility: 20
Defense: 15
Skills: Throwing money, Mourning
Duan Liuceng showed no fear when he saw the "paper money monster".
He has a standard knight stat allocation of 4 points in Strength and 2 points in Health.
A level 40 knight has 170 points of strength, 110 points of health, and 50 points for the rest.
1 point of strength = 10 points of damage, so 170 points of strength equals 1700 points of damage.
The "Paper Money Monster" has only 1230 HP, plus 15 points of defense, which is 150 points of both physical and magical resistance.
That translates to only 1380 points of damage.
A single axe strike from the Duanliu layer can deal 1700 damage, making it incredibly easy to instantly kill the "Paper Money Monster".
Normal dungeons are usually quite simple; the only ones that require serious attention are the "elite monsters" and bosses in the Loess Plateau.
At this moment, Duan Liuceng had no intention of going forward to kill the monster; instead, he stared directly at Liu Shishuang without any attempt to hide his gaze.
Liu Shishuang was wondering why Duan Liuceng and the others hadn't gone up to fight the monsters, but now, seeing his expression, she understood.
She involuntarily took two steps back, watching them warily.
What do you want to do?
"Miss Liu, I happen to be looking for a wife, I wonder if you..."
"impossible!"
Before Duan Liuceng could finish speaking, Liu Shishuang interrupted him sharply, glaring at him with disgust in her beautiful eyes.
"You'd better just play it safe and don't have any unrealistic ideas."
"Heh heh! So what if you have improper thoughts?"
This wasn't the first time Duan Liuceng and his gang had done something like this, so they weren't intimidated by Liu Shishuang's words.
Once you enter a dungeon, you can only leave by completing it.
The instance blocks all signals, preventing people inside from communicating with the outside world in real time and thus hindering the transmission of the true situation.
Therefore, Duan Liuceng and his gang often commit murder and robbery in the dungeon, and others can't do anything to them without evidence.
After all, it's perfectly normal for people to die frequently in dungeons.
Seeing Duan Liucheng's fearless demeanor, Liu Shishuang understood that Duan Liucheng would not let her off easily.
She pushed up her silver frameless glasses, her red lips slightly upturned, exuding a mature and sophisticated aura.
"Do you know that some women are not someone like you can mess with?"
"Hehe, you've got quite the big talk, I like it."
Duan Liucheng scoffed, saying that Liu Shishuang was just a level 41 priest and had no combat skills whatsoever.
Even if they did, one priest couldn't defeat all four of them.
Liu Shishuang looked at Duan Liuceng with disdain, her eyes full of arrogance.
"You think I'm joking?"
"No, you're bluffing."
"Heh, you're tired of living and you're attacking me? My husband will definitely tear you to pieces."
Liu Shishuang has the priest's shield, which Duan Liuceng is unable to break in a short time.
As long as she waits for Fang Xian to arrive, the crisis will automatically be resolved.
"Your husband?"
Duan Liuceng's smile became even more ferocious, and he dismissed Liu Shishuang's words.
"Hahaha! So she's a married woman after all. That's wonderful! I like her even more now."
"Oh? Is that so?"
A discordant voice suddenly came from behind Liu Shishuang, and the person who came was a handsome young man.
This person is none other than Fang Xian.
Fang Xian reached out from behind and wrapped his arm around Liu Shishuang's slender waist, then looked at Duan Liuceng with a cold gaze.
"I can't control what you do with other people, but if you try to touch my woman, that's your problem."
"--court death!"
