A few hours quickly passed and by this time, everyone had run the dungeon two more times, one after the other without any break.
All the members of the group, including Liam, had leveled up one more time and the wind ripper also leveled up to 3. However, the fox was still at level 1.
The total experience points required for a spirit beast to jump from one level to another was actually worse than that of a human being.
Liam patted the tiny thing and then fed it a berry. It didn't need it but it was staring at him while he was munching so he gave it one as well.
Shin Soo watched this wholesome scene and decided to speak up his mind, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Liam spoke up before him.
"Again? Let's go."
The tank smiled bitterly looking at his teammates. Everyone was draped from head to toe in lots of new gears and their pockets were also full.
Liam had been very generous, and they had gained a lot, but still…
They couldn't bring themselves to repeat the same thing over and over again, especially considering how difficult the run was every single time.
Even though their bodies were fully recovered and their minds as well had somewhat recovered by drinking the lake water, it was still very stressful to undergo this sort of continuous strenuous training.
This sort of thing was different from sitting in the same spot and grinding for hours together. They had to physically move and run and fight and perspire.
This required discipline and a certain type of will to work hard. Not everyone had the ability to train like this non-stop.
Shin Soo really wanted to pull his hair out. Just as much as he was tired, he also didn't want to let go of Liam. Something told him that it wouldn't be possible to meet with this person again.
He cried inwardly at his plight and lightly nodded his head. Everyone behind him gasped in shock silently. They had wanted Shin Soo to say no, but he agreed just like that!
Shin Soo: Guys, please cooperate. This should be the last time. I think even he will feel tired after this run.
Kang Mina: …
Kim Hyun: …
Chung Hee: …
Seeing this another person, shamelessly popped in.
Goo Sunho: If anyone wants to switch out, I am free to hop in.
Shin Soo: …
Kang Mina: …
Kim Hyun: …
Chung Hee: …
Goo Sunho: Hyung you too? Fuck. You guys are all going a bit too far!
Everyone might be tired but no one wanted to lose their place and switch with the guy. They could only grit their teeth and continue with the run.
And then another one.
And then another one..
And then another one…
And finally, at the end of the next run, no one even had the will to stand up anymore. Luckily for them, Liam this time had a smile on his face as opposed to his usually stern face.
"Alright. I reached Level 20. You all should be at least 22 or 23 right? It's not efficient to grind here anymore. Shall we leave?"
He even seemed very lively compared to the usual and very relaxed as if he had just gotten some sort of massage. On the other hand, everyone else was in a different state.
They could only silently nod again.
In the end, only Shin Soo was able to muster his strength and talk back. "Bro, are we now going to another dungeon? What… what is the plan?" He hesitantly asked, afraid to know the answer.
Hearing his words, the others were stunned silly. Another dungeon ahhhh?! Was this fellow trying to kill them all?!
They had alarmed looks on their faces and they wanted to protest right then and there!
But it looked like their good luck or rather bad luck had finally come to an end… Liam shook his head and muttered. "No, I have something else to do. Let's part ways here."
He did not even finish speaking when he heard a collective sigh. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Good luck."
He left the party right away and then walked out of the dungeon casually. The four who had just now sighed in relief suddenly had different expressions on their faces.
Fuck!
Kang Mina was the first one to shout. "Ah! Friend Request!" She didn't wait for Shin Soo and directly sent Liam a request. The next second, she also got the notification!
[Ding. Your friend request has been accepted]
"He accepted it! He accepted it!" She grinned and jumped up to stand in shock.
"He accepted it?" Shin Soo also hurriedly sent one.
[Ding. Your friend request has been accepted]
"Oh! He accepted mine!" He felt relieved only after seeing this message. Now if they wanted to call him again in the future, things would be a lot smoother.
Seeing the two of them get positive results, the other two as well hurriedly sent in, but unfortunately, no return notification came in as their request was probably not viewed.
They knew that because they had also received a lot of friend requests after the world announcement. So by the time Liam checked again, theirs would probably already be buried.
"It's fine. Why do you have long faces? We will be playing together anyways. I will just talk to him and later, you both can also send in requests again. Don't spam him now."
Shin Soo as well got up. He already had a plan to contact Liam later as he wanted to give back all the rare drops from the dungeon.
Since every single one of their runs had been on hard mode, their luck was quite good and they had actually gotten three rare drops in total.
Liam did not care about it and simply asked them to keep but Shin Soo wanted to return it. At that time, they could once again team up and play.
While he was thinking about this, Kang Mina continued proudly showing off. "He He.Ya. Don't worry. I can also message him on your behalf. He He He."
Kim Hyun couldn't stand it any longer and scoffed at her. "What are you so happy about? Did you think you hooked on some rich whale?"
"He looks like a mixed race person, and judging from his name 'Chang Liam', he is probably from China and you are from Korea."
"And more importantly, have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Even if he is some big shot, he won't spare one look at you! Hmph."
"KIM HYUN! I swear I will let you die in the next run!"
