Chapter 76: The Burden Isn’t Zhang Xuan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the hall, Li Nong, who was resting at the side, looked in the direction of the teleportation array gloomily. He knew very well that without him, with Gu Shanshan and the others’ strength, they wouldn’t be able to last long.
As for Zhang Xuan, so what if he was internally decided to be the champion? He was just a Level 17 noob.
“There’s actually someone who thinks that a trash hidden class can surpass a rare class in strength? What a joke!”
“I want to see if you can rely on that so-called champion to last until the fifth round of monsters! ”
At this moment, the calm teleportation array began to flash with a red light. The information of the students who were about to leave the dungeon appeared one after another.
Seeing this, Li Nong was overjoyed. Then, he walked proudly to the teleportation array.
It had only been less than five minutes since he came out. Moreover, he knew very well how difficult the ancient mechanical monsters were to deal with.
It was obvious that without him as the main force, Zhang Xuan’s lousy support was useless.
It was possible that they wouldn’t even manage to get through Machine 8!
The red light faded, and the first to come out was Zhang Xuan, who had a depressed expression on his face.
“All in seconds?”
In the past five minutes, Zhang Xuan led everyone to Ancient Machinery 1 without any obstruction.
The monsters in front were actually not a big deal. Zhang Xuan’s Skeleton Archers had a 99% heaven-defying armor-piercing effect. As long as it wasn’t an insta-kill, he could fight them.
Unfortunately, after Zhang Xuan killed 20 Ancient Machinery 1 with the ability to split and multiply, all the Skeleton Warriors outside the shield suddenly died!
Moreover, everyone’s health inexplicably began to decrease crazily. Even Zhang Xuan was no exception. In the end, everyone had no choice but to leave the dungeon.
This was what made Zhang Xuan more depressed, because he didn’t even know what Ancient Machinery o was.
Everyone could only enter this novice dungeon once a day. If they wanted to enter a second time, they could only wait until tomorrow.
Zhang Xuan wasn’t in a hurry. After all, Xiao Ya was back. It was more important to see her first. If he brought Xiao Ya along tomorrow, he could help her get a reward.
However, the rewards in this novice dungeon were really not bad. Zhang Xuan had obtained a total of more than a dozen rare-grade sets and even a precious weapon!
Although Zhang Xuan basically no longer needed weapons and sets of this level, equipment of this level could at least be sold for hundreds of thousands to a million gold coins outside.
After all, not everyone could clear novice dungeons above hell-level.
Moreover, in addition to the equipment, he had also obtained no less than 100,000 points and nearly a million gold coins, as well as many high-level alchemy potions. It could be said that this novice dungeon had brought about very large benefits.
Of course, this kind of reward could only be given once. If he wanted to obtain a new reward in the future, he could only clear Ancient Machinery o.
However, when Li Nong saw Zhang Xuan’s expression, he had another meaning. He was instantly extremely proud. This was what he wanted to see!
Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn’t speak, Li Nong said sarcastically, “Oh, is this the strength of this year’s champion?”
“I thought you could last a little longer. I didn’t expect…”
“Do you think it’s hard to farm Machine 2?”
Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Nong, who had a frivolous expression on his face, with a strange expression.
Li Nong’s eyes were filled with mockery. Was Machine 2 not difficult?
“That’s true. After all, you’ve never seen it before. Why would you find it difficult?”
Zhang Xuan felt helpless about Li Nong’s attitude. He really understood what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well.
Zhang Xuan sighed. Then, he walked forward and stared at Li Nong with concern and said, “Child, why did you become stupid at such a young age? If you don’t believe me, then forget it.”
With that, Zhang Xuan left. He heard from Gu Shanshan that Ya Ya lived next door to him. He wondered how she had been this year.
Li Nong was furious because of what he said. However, Gu Shanshan and Mi Ya left the novice dungeon at this moment. Their exquisite faces were filled with shock, and it was impossible to tell if they were sad or happy.
Then, Ma Chang’an and the others walked out of the teleportation array one after another, but they still had the same expression.
Seeing everyone’s expressions, Li Nong temporarily put aside his trouble with Zhang Xuan and quickly went forward to pretend to be innocent. “Don’t blame me for withdrawing early. I knew long ago that you would withdraw.”
“How can we last long with such a burden? Continuing to farm is just a waste of time!”
“Next time, I’ll find a more powerful main battle profession. At that time, I’ll be the main damage output. I’ll definitely be able to break the record and get the reward of Machine 2!”
Li Nong didn’t hide his usefulness at all. Furthermore, he made his withdrawal from the novice dungeon sound righteous.
However, at this moment, everyone who had recovered from their daze looked at Li Nong with a puzzled expression.
There was indeed a burden on the team, but the burden had no self-awareness.
The few of them were dumbfounded the entire time. Before they could do anything, the monsters were all killed.
“Li Nong. who told you he was a burden?”
“He didn’t quit halfway like someone. Besides, we don’t need your kindness to break the record. Thank you.”
Liang Muzi retorted coldly. She was very unhappy with this guy who had quit halfway. If it wasn’t for the fact that the academy prohibited students from fighting among themselves in private, she wouldn’t have spoiled Li Nong!
“That’s right. We’ve already passed Machine 1. This is all thanks to Zhang Xuan. Don’t be so sarcastic!”
“After all, he’s a predetermined champion. How can he not have strength?”
Gu Shanshan and the others spoke one after another, which instantly stunned Li Nong.
He couldn’t help but look at Zhang Xuan, who was walking away. He seemed to think of something and said unhappily, “Did you receive any benefits?”
“Otherwise, why would you speak up for him? It’s less than five minutes. I want to know how you defeated so many monsters!”
After all, Zhang Xuan was someone the dean had personally arranged to send over. Coupled with the current situation, it was difficult not to think of some gray areas.
However, when he said this, even Mi Ya, who had a good temper, clearly didn’t look happy.
“I didn’t expect you to have such thoughts. You should find someone else to team up with in the future.”
“If you have any objections, you can appeal to the dean. Also, we’re letting you know that our team won’t need you in the future!”
“You made the right choice to leave the novice dungeon. You let us know what kind of person you are!”
Everyone retorted one after another, making Li Nong’s expression even uglier. However, at this moment, a line of words appeared on the teleportation array behind him, making him instantly dumbfounded.
[Members of the team: Gu Shanshan, Ma Chang’an…]
[Team Novice Dungeon completion progress: Ancient Machinery o]
“How is this possible? You actually got through Machine 1?!”
Li Nong’s eyes were filled with shock. This was really too ridiculous.. Not to mention Machine 1, even Machine 2 had a large number of monsters, but now they had actually cleared the level?!
