"Brothers, it's time for the mission!"
In a low-rent apartment in the lower city of the royal city, in a large room on the second floor corner, Dog-head Gold, who was squatting in the corner of the living room sorting out the spoils, suddenly started, looked up and shouted.
The ladies sitting on the sofa drinking tea rolled their eyes at him. Chen Xi put down his teacup and said calmly:
"Keep your voice down, I got it."
"Hey, this is exciting... I'm almost sick of playing the Spirit Realm dungeon, I have to find something else to have fun with."
Goutoujin stood up and walked over, picked up a cup of tea from the table and started drinking it, which again aroused the dissatisfaction of Su Keying, Weiyin and others.
"Hey, hey! That's for Brother Beizi!"
The pretty and lovely girl Tutu said quickly.
Goutoujin spat out the tea leaves in his mouth, smacked his lips and sighed.
"Brother Beizi, Brother Beizi, you only have Brother Beizi in your eyes. Don't you, Brother Gouzi, deserve to drink this cup of tea? Do you have any conscience? I was always the one charging ahead to protect you from the wind and rain. What was Lao Bei doing at that time? Huh?"
“He’s exporting.”
Kucha Nana thought about it, then nodded solemnly.
"Several times, even after you had cleared all the monsters, you rushed into the pile of corpses to retrieve the loot. Your movements were skillful and fast, which was quite annoying..."
"How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?!"
Goutoujin's voice suddenly rose several pitches, and his eyes glared like a wronged woman.
"I only have two legs! Auntie! If I can take care of this side, I can't take care of the other side. Brother Beizi is Sequence 7, so it's normal for him to kill monsters quickly... Besides, are you willing to do the hard work of cleaning up the battlefield?"
"Look, he's anxious!"
Weiyin held the sweet tea and giggled.
Goutoujin kicked a bench in a bitter mood and sat down, saying listlessly:
"Brother Dong and Sister Nan have both been promoted to Sequence 7 along with Lao Bei, but I'm still stuck at Sequence 8. Is this goddamn poisonous... This crappy game doesn't have a name change card yet, otherwise I'd spend a fortune buying one and change my name to 'Ximen Dashuaibi' to complete this combination, maybe I can get rid of my bad luck!"
He was talking about Dongyang and the new girl Pumpkin. Dongyang's promotion to the second sequence was not unexpected, but Pumpkin's promotion surprised everyone. They even saw the shadow of the "female version of North Star" in this high-level individual player.
"I think if you really want to change it, you should change it to 'Xibagou', otherwise the name 'Gouzige' will be lost, what a pity..."
Taiyin played with her ponytail and giggled.
"Damn it, damn Taiyin, why do you always target me?!"
Goutoujin clenched his fists tightly and spoke viciously.
His face changed, and then he panicked, and his tone softened:
"You... you don't like me, do you?"
"Fuck you!"
Weiyin's originally delicate expression changed instantly. She gave a delicate scolding, picked up the newly bought machete and was ready to jump up and chop the stinky fool to death.
However, at this moment, Dongyang, who was wearing an ivory casual suit, ran down from upstairs and hurriedly stopped him:
"Stop, stop, stop! You can't fight, you can't fight!"
With the physical fitness of a mid-sequence transcendent, he rushed to the two of them in the blink of an eye, separated them with his blazing hands, and added:
"This is the royal city! You two guys are going to die, right?"
"Just wait, Xiao Bieshan, when I'm offline I'll ask my bodyguards to look for you. If you dare, don't sleep tonight!"
Weiyin glanced at Dongyang, put away the machete, and threatened.
Goutoujin knew that this young rich woman's family was not simple, but he was not at all intimidated. He made a sarcastic expression and responded:
"It's happened so many times, and not once was it real. I'm so scared!"
Seeing that Weiyin was getting angry again and was about to take action, Polaris came in from outside with Pumpkin and Dragon King, looking helpless.
"Okay, get ready, let's go and complete the task."
"Give Brother Beizi some face, or you'll lose your head!"
Tail snorted.
Everyone was enjoying the show. There were many shows in the team, but the quarrel between Gouzige and Weiyin was one of their favorites.
After a moment.
The high-level team collectively entered the lakeside cottage area of Wonderland.
The scene here is no longer the same as before.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, in the bright sight, at first glance, it is filled with densely packed figures of players.
The lawn, the lake, the cabins, and the statue of Jack were all filled with circus performers, at least two to three thousand people.
"I didn't expect the 'Mission Hall' to be updated quietly. The maximum number of people it can support has been increased from 500 to 10,000. Now I finally don't have to queue up to log in..."
Honey Pomelo followed the big sister Chenxi and sighed at the lively scene.
"Isn't this indirectly proof that the circus has taken another big step forward in its development? Back when we first joined Jack's camp, there were hardly any people here."
Dongyang shook his head and smiled.
The centaur then said:
"The number of circus players has now exceeded 20,000, all of whom are top players in the first tier. We must work harder and not be left behind..."
"Don't worry. Most of the people in our team are already level 50, and they are just waiting to complete the promotion mission and become mid-sequence extraordinary people."
Goutoujin said comfortingly.
He then looked at the North Star and asked in a nonchalant tone:
"Lao Bei, you should be almost reaching the level 80 version ceiling, right?"
Others also cast their eyes over, staring at Brother Beizi curiously. On the current ranking list, no matter how the rankings behind him change, he is always number one, which makes everyone proud, but also feels a little pressure.
Polaris shook his head.
"How can it be that fast... Although the experience of contaminated creatures is high, it is much more difficult for me to level up now than for you. Even if I get most of the kill rewards every time I go to the dungeon, I am only level 72 now."
"Awesome, Lao Bei!"
Goutoujin praised insincerely.
As he said this, he winked and said:
"You'll soon be promoted to Sequence 6, right? By then, I'm afraid you'll be the first in the server to do so, so let us take credit for it!"
"It's difficult... I have looked for Teacher Jack several times, but I can't find him. Now I haven't even started to learn the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence 6."
Polaris sighed.
"No matter what, you are still at the top of the player list. Don't be too stressed out and play it safe. The fact that you are Jack's apprentice is enough to crush most of the players."
Dongyang comforted.
The North Star smiled.
Afterwards, everyone exchanged a wave of supplies in front of Jack's statue, and immediately left the wonderland and rushed to the location of the mission "Darkness Strikes".

A few hours later.
In a rural area southwest of Guangming Town.
Polaris and his group hid silently behind a small hill, quietly watching the open space ahead. There used to be a small ranch there, but now the ground was covered with dead cattle and sheep, blood was dripping, and the few wooden houses had already collapsed and were in a mess.
A headless monster nearly two stories high was "squatting" in the fence, feasting on a meal. It used its hideous mantis arms to skewer a whole livestock and stuffed it directly into its chest, which was like a sharp gear.
All I saw was that the "cracked" chest was filled with jagged fangs and disgusting pus. The dead livestock were stuffed in and were instantly squeezed and crushed, making a crunching sound.
"Headless Didak..."
Dongyang looked at the strange name he had discovered, murmured something, then turned his head and asked his companion:
"What are your plans?"
"This guy doesn't look easy to deal with... I can't find any information even after checking him. He's 20 levels higher than us."
Goutoujin looked solemn.
At this time, Polaris shook his head and added:
"Not only that, it's at least level 90 and a tough boss... Because I can't see its information either."
After hearing Polaris' words, the atmosphere became even more solemn.
"It's more interesting to fight a BOSS of this level. How about I go to the guild and call some more people?"
Dongyang smiled.
"Try it first, and call for help if it doesn't work."
Polaris answered succinctly.
"It's the same old rules for a while. Dong Ge and Nan Mei will be the main tanks, Dog-Headed Gold and Forgotten Wu Ji will take drugs and be the secondary tanks. Dragon King, Tu Tu and Nana will support and control the enemy at any time... Chen Xi, You Zi, Keying and Centaur, the rest of you will only be responsible for output. I will act according to the situation and try to find its weakness and deal as much damage as possible."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Beizi."
"That's it."
The others nodded in agreement.
Just as everyone was counting their weapons and equipment and preparing to launch a sneak attack, Polaris raised his hand to stop everyone's actions.
"What's wrong, Brother Beizi?"
The Dragon King asked.
"Someone is coming."
Polaris turned calmly, and everyone followed his gaze, only to find a team of about a dozen players striding towards them.
"Candlelight Guild?"
Dongyang saw the message above the other person's head and frowned.
"Sorry everyone, we were the first to discover this wild BOSS. If you don't believe me, I can ask my brothers to send me screenshots to prove it..."
The leading man spoke in a deep voice.
His ID name is "菊部地区下血", and he is actually a Sequence 7 of the Earth system!
Dongyang and others looked at each other and exchanged a few words privately through the channel.
"—I've heard of this guild, it's just a second-rate guild, but I didn't expect it to have a mid-level player... The other players in his team are also pretty good, with more than 40 levels. What's going on?"
"—What can I do? At worst, we'll just have a fight! Anyway, I won't give up this BOSS! What do you mean, you found it first, I found it first, whoever has the strength will find it!"
The words on the dog-head and gold-buttoned badge expressed his dissatisfaction.
At this time, Polaris, the backbone, spoke.
"No need. It doesn't matter who discovered it first. We won't do that... This boss is our mission target. We can't give him up."
The other party frowned, looked at Polaris and others and said:
"I know you, Brother Beizi, you are number one on the list, and the others are all experts among experts... We don't want to make enemies with you, but we have been eyeing this BOSS for most of the day. The guild has been preparing for this for several hours, and we have invested manpower and material resources. We can't just give up like this."
Brother "Juxue" took a deep breath.
"How about we cooperate? This BOSS is not easy to deal with. There is strength in numbers. After we defeat it, we will calculate the profit based on our contribution... Don't worry, I got the 'one-time contract' from the Kangkai Council. You can sign it before fighting the BOSS. This way, you don't have to worry about betrayal."
"Um… "
Polaris groaned.
He turned around and exchanged glances with Dongyang Pumpkin and the others, and then had a brief discussion in the channel.
After a while, they agreed to this decision.
It’s not that Dongyang and his friends are afraid of this group of people, but their attitude is good and their proposal is fair. Adhering to the principle of “more friends, more paths”, they might as well work together.
Anyway, the purpose of the Polaris team doing this mission is not entirely for the reward... We are tired of playing the Spirit Realm dungeon, so let's try something different.
So after a brief discussion for a few minutes, the two sides quietly launched an attack while the headless monster was still there.
Although the two parties signed a cooperation agreement, they still divided into two teams and attacked separately. After all, each team had not had time to work together, so in order to avoid being dragged down, they tacitly avoided the distance.
"kill!"
When the distance got closer, Dongyang was the first to shout.
His fists, which had been smeared with the monster's fuel, were burning with fire and smashed fiercely onto one of the headless insect monster's legs.
Along with a loud noise, the insect monster let out a terrifying hissing sound from its chest!
hiss—
It was caught off guard and staggered after being attacked, with its entire body falling to the ground with a bang.
The rest of the players followed closely behind and rushed forward.
