Chapter 54 He's Different!
A gust of wind whipped up dust, and the giant white rabbit vanished into the distance, leaving only a fleeting shadow.
Only a string of clear, golden bell sounds remained, gradually fading into the air.
The entrance to Howling Valley remains deathly silent.
The gazes of hundreds of players turned away from the end of the road.
Ultimately, the energy converged on the pale-faced elven goddess girl who remained standing in the same spot.
The atmosphere became somewhat subtle.
Sympathy, mockery, schadenfreude... all sorts of expressions mingled in the eyes.
A proud and arrogant prodigy from the divine race voluntarily lowered himself to offer a generous gift.
As a result, they dismissed me with a casual "That's enough."
That was a really harsh slap in the face.
"General...General Manager..."
Behind Yueying, a male elven assassin finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to whisper a word of advice:
"That guy... is too arrogant! Why do you have to lower yourself so much?"
"We, [Moon Goddess's Radiance], don't need to fawn over a level 10 greenhorn!"
His voice was filled with resentment.
In his heart, Yueying, so noble, was the most dazzling pearl in the City of Eternal Night. When had she ever suffered such injustice?
"Shut up!"
Yueying turned around abruptly, her stiff smile vanishing instantly, replaced by a chilling coldness.
Those beautiful eyes no longer held any flattery, only the authority and indifference of someone in a superior position.
"What do you know?!"
A rebuke made the pastor turn pale and fall silent instantly.
The players watching the commotion around them all shrank back, not daring to say another word.
They then realized that the woman in front of them was not some delicate young girl.
Instead, he was the regional manager of the [Moon Goddess's Radiance] guild, a ruthless character whose every move could shake Zhaocheng.
Yueying ignored everyone else and stood quietly in place, her mind racing as she reviewed the events.
A humble attitude?
No, that's called showing respect and courtesy to scholars.
Rejected?
No, that's called playing hard to get.
Those ordinary people around only saw the surface.
But she, Yueying, saw something much deeper!
This man named Chen You is different!
He remained remarkably calm in the face of his own overtures and the resource monopoly that would drive any adventurer mad.
What does this tell us?
This shows he doesn't care at all!
His vision and his goals far surpass these so-called "resources and treasures"!
What was his last sentence?
"I'll contact you if I need anything."
This isn't rejection! This is acceptance!
He accepted himself and recognized the value of the [Lunar Radiance]!
Having figured this out, a strange blush appeared on Yueying's pale cheeks, and a burning light rekindled in her eyes.
Completely unaware that they had fallen into some kind of mental trap.
That's just human nature!
The Elven gods were no exception.
They often disdain readily available adulation.
But the one person who would reject you would generate an almost obsessive desire to conquer you.
"He only doesn't need the Spirit Sand temporarily, it doesn't mean he won't need it in the future..."
Yueying murmured to herself, a confident smile returning to her lips.
"Pass on my orders!" She turned around abruptly and gave the order to the guild members behind her who were now petrified.
"Starting today, all guild resource points will be allocated significantly more!"
"Stockpile up all rare materials produced, whatever they may be!"
"I don't believe he can be self-sufficient forever!"
She had already made up her mind; she wanted to build a vast resource empire.
The next time this man has a need, he will look throughout the entire city of Zhaocheng.
He will find that the only one who can help him is Yueying!
Seeing their manager regain his commanding demeanor, the surrounding guild members exchanged bewildered glances and could only nod in agreement.
However, in their hearts, the manager's "he's different" look and Chen You's polite words, "I'll contact you again if I need anything," remained unchanged.
No matter how you look at it, he seems like a obsessed "simp" and a highly skilled "scumbag".
……
"puff--"
The giant, snow-white rabbit braked sharply in front of the Supreme Building and came to a steady stop.
Chen You flipped down and walked straight into the spacious and elegant white jade pavilion.
It was that familiar figure again, Hill with her curved horns and graceful figure, standing smiling in the center of the hall, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
"Welcome back, esteemed VIP member. Your efficiency is always amazing."
Chen You didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Hill, when I cleared the dungeon, the system notified me that the 'destruction conditions' had been met. What does that mean?"
Hill's smile grew even more respectful, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a screen of light unfolded before the two of them.
"'Destruction Mode' is a hidden challenge designed for those with absolute strength who can clear dungeons at a speed far exceeding the norm."
"Once you have cleared the entire instance in a very short time, you will be qualified to destroy the instance entrance 'Boundary Marker'."
"Once the boundary marker is destroyed, you can choose 'Destruction Mode' when entering the instance again."
Chen You raised an eyebrow: "What are the specific differences?"
There are three differences.
Hill extended a slender finger.
"Firstly, the level, number, and strength of all monsters in the dungeon will be greatly increased, and some new and powerful skills will be unlocked, making the difficulty far greater than the normal mode."
"Furthermore, the Destruction Mode can only be completed once per day."
Chen You nodded; this was roughly what he had guessed.
It is more difficult and has a limited number of attempts.
"Secondly, as a high-risk reward, in Destruction Mode, the experience points, reputation rewards, and drop rates of equipment and materials from all monsters will be greatly increased."
"Simply put, the returns are higher."
"Thirdly..." Hilton paused, his voice carrying a hint of mysterious allure.
"In Destruction Mode, the loot list for dungeons will be expanded."
"Some rare treasures that would never appear in normal mode will have a certain chance of appearing in the final boss's loot."
"For example?" Chen You pressed.
"For example..." Hill's red lips parted slightly, uttering two words that made Chen You's heart skip a beat.
"Secret manual of martial arts techniques".
Chen You's pupils contracted involuntarily.
Kung Fu!
He knew better than anyone the earth-shattering changes that the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique and the Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique had brought him.
"It's only a 'possible' drop, not a 'guaranteed' drop, right?"
Chen Youqiang suppressed his excitement and asked calmly.
"Yes," Hill smiled.
Everything in the world has its predetermined fate and its variables. A precious treasure lies hidden in dust, waiting for its destined owner.
"This concept of 'fate' cannot be forced."
Chen You remained silent.
He got it.
This "destruction mode" is one of the true core gameplay elements of this game's dungeons.
The regular item-farming and leveling-up system is only for ordinary players.
For a "strongman" like him, what he needs to do is constantly challenge the limits and unleash his destructive power.
Go for that one in ten thousand chance, and seize those true treasures that can change your destiny!
"I understand." Chen You kept this information firmly in mind.
The Destruction Mode of Wailing Valley is a must-play!
However, before that...
"The VIP lottery hasn't been drawn yet," he said.
Hill's smile widened, as if this was the part she had been most looking forward to.
"As you wish."
She waved gracefully.
hum-
Accompanied by a deep and mysterious hum, a huge and magnificent roulette wheel appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall.
The roulette wheel was evenly divided into ten sectors, with ancient runes flowing along its edges, radiating a chilling energy.
Chen You looked at the two tempting golden areas and took a deep breath.
The previous use of the "Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique" had already brought about a qualitative change in his attack power.
I wonder what surprises await me today.
Without further hesitation, he reached out and gently touched the center of the illusory roulette wheel.
"start!"
In an instant, the wheel began to spin wildly, and the four colors of green, blue, purple and gold mixed together, transforming into a dazzling sea of light.
The pointer swiftly swept across the sea of light, emitting a crisp "beep beep beep" sound that tugged at the heartstrings.
At this moment, the entire Supreme Building was exceptionally quiet.
