Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Bloody City, 3A Difficulty!

"The raid schedule is out!"

Just past midnight, Yu Zhun checked the official website of the Divine Revelation Hall and quickly found today’s raid schedule for Divine Strategy City’s [Bloody City] Dungeon.

The name of the [Godslayer] Guild was prominently listed.

"You actually got it." Yu Zhu hadn’t fallen asleep either. She sat beside Yu Zhun, staring wide-eyed at the schedule. "And it’s at ten in the morning! You could say this is prime time."

Some unlucky players had their raid times scheduled late at night or in the early hours of the morning, forcing them to stay up late just to clear the Dungeon.

In contrast, ten in the morning was a very suitable time. Yu Zhun could wake up normally, unhurriedly prepare for the Dungeon, and finish it without even missing lunch.

"Now I really believe it. The Divine Revelation Hall is definitely looking out for you in secret," Yu Zhu lowered her voice, speaking with a mysterious expression.

She had already learned about Yu Zhun’s situation today.

Although Yu Zhun had ultimately chosen to create a new guild, with the Divine Revelation Hall secretly looking after him, being in a low-star guild wouldn’t leave him lacking Dungeon resources. Instead, having fewer people became an advantage to hide his true strength.

The only problem was probably that Yu Zhun raiding the Dungeon alone would significantly increase the danger.

But after Yu Zhun showed Yu Zhu his stats, she was completely reassured and called him a freak.

"The Divine Revelation Hall must have seen my unparalleled brilliance. They really have a good eye," Yu Zhun chuckled, making Yu Zhu roll her eyes.

"Yu Zhun, you’re so shameless."

Yu Zhun casually pinched Yu Zhu’s cheek. "Alright, you have class tomorrow. Hurry up and go to sleep."

It was indeed getting very late. Yu Zhu grumbled a bit but eventually went back to her room obediently.

Yu Zhun turned his gaze back to the schedule.

He had to admit that the Hanlong Guild was quite domineering over the [Bloody City] Dungeon, arranging a raid team every two hours.

A total of twelve teams were scheduled to enter the Bloody City. Nine of them were from the Hanlong Guild. Aside from Yu Zhun’s team, the other two came from two different Three-Star Guilds.

The One-Star [Godslayer] Guild stood out glaringly.

On that same night, bright moonlight spilled through the window of another mansion elsewhere on the Blue Star. Inside a very girly room, a pink-haired young woman was carefully studying a stack of documents.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—

Following the knocking, the door to her room was pushed open. Ji Ruoxu walked in holding a steaming cup of milk and placed it on his granddaughter’s desk.

"Yu, are you still reading those documents?"

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoyu didn’t even look up. "Tomorrow during the day, once I complete the solo kill on the final Newbie Area Boss, my level will just hit Lv10. I can equip the Purple Equipment and directly enter the Nether Trial."

"Time is tight, so I need to quickly familiarize myself with the Nether Trial’s information." At this, Ji Xiaoyu couldn’t help but shoot Ji Ruoxu a resentful glare. "Grandpa, I can’t believe you lied to me before and said there wasn’t any information!"

Ji Ruoxu smiled awkwardly.

Before... he just hadn’t wanted his granddaughter to take risks.

Now that his granddaughter had even bought Lv5 Purple Equipment and soloed two out of the three Newbie Area Bosses, he naturally couldn’t stop her anymore.

Although the Nether Trial was highly difficult, it was still only a 1A Dungeon.

Her safety wasn’t a concern; it was just a matter of how many floors Yu could clear.

"Grandpa, do you think I can pass the eleventh floor?" Ji Xiaoyu showed a disappointed expression. "I read the information. That Demonized Orc commander’s Half-Blood Summoning skill, which calls out fifteen minions, is just too broken."

Having an S-rank talent, Ji Xiaoyu’s strength was naturally quite good. She felt she could handle the earlier floors.

But the Demonized Orc commander on the eleventh floor was simply too difficult.

"Just do your best," Ji Ruoxu said, rubbing Ji Xiaoyu’s head. "Regardless of success or failure, it will be a form of training for you."

"Alright," Ji Xiaoyu nodded slightly.

"By the way, Yu," Ji Ruoxu suddenly smiled. "After passing the Nether Trial, you won’t be able to stay in the Newbie Area anymore.

"Have you thought about which Main City to go to and which guild to join?"

"Divine Revelation City, of course!" Ji Xiaoyu didn’t even have to think about it.

Divine Revelation City was the foremost of the thirty-six Main Cities. The headquarters of the Divine Revelation Hall in the Divine Revelation World was located there, and the five major Profession guilds directly under the Divine Revelation Hall were also located in Divine Revelation City.

"Grandpa, you’re the president of [Arcane Roar], one of the five major Profession guilds. Don’t tell me you aren’t planning to let me join your guild?"

"Well..." Ji Ruoxu squeezed out a smile. "Of course Grandpa wouldn’t reject you, but...

"Grandpa feels there’s a better place suited for you."

"The Dungeon Hall..."

Inside the Divine Revelation Hall, Yu Zhun looked around and quickly followed the signs into a branch hall.

This was the most magnificent branch hall in the Divine Revelation Hall. Hundreds of grand and ancient stone doors stood in the center. The inside of each door was filled with a twisting darkness, leading to unknown lands.

Different numbers were carved above the stone doors, with bright red and green lights next to them.

These were the Dungeon Teleportation Gates. Each stone door connected to one of Divine Strategy City’s Permanent Dungeons. A red light meant a raid was currently in progress, while a green light indicated that no one was raiding it at the moment.

At this moment, raid teams were waiting outside each stone door according to their prearranged schedules, ready to enter.

Following the numbers at the top of the stone doors, Yu Zhun quickly found the one corresponding to the [Bloody City].

He walked briskly to the staff member in charge of maintaining the Teleportation Gate and took out his guild credential. "Hello, I’m the raid team from the [Godslayer] Guild. I should be next, right?"

The staff member nodded. After verifying Yu Zhun’s identity, he checked the time. "It’s still ten minutes early, but the previous team has already left, so you can go in ahead of schedule."

"That’s great." Yu Zhun smiled. "Thanks, man."

"No problem." The staff member quickly calibrated the Teleportation Gate. Once finished, he glanced around and lowered his voice. "Hurry up and go in."

Yu Zhun shot him a puzzled look.

Why was he rushing him to go in? Hadn’t he arrived early?

Yu Zhun was baffled, but seeing the activated Dungeon Teleportation Gate, he didn’t dare delay. He thanked the staff member again and quickly walked inside.

After a dizzying spin, he found himself on the streets of a desolate, dead city. Everything around him was shrouded in a hazy red fog. Looking up at the sky, he could only see an impenetrable, heavy crimson.

[Welcome to the Permanent Dungeon: Bloody City (3A)]

[Dungeon Rules are as follows:]

[1. All rewards within the Dungeon are settled instantly.]

[2. Death in the Dungeon counts as death in the Divine Revelation World.]

[The blood-red fog enveloping the entire city is his Curse!]
