"Praise or not?" Seeing the monsters exchanging bewildered glances, Yin Xiu lowered his eyes and flicked his knife. "Three..."
"Um... Yin Xiu is powerful and decisive."
"How dare you use human idioms like that! How are we supposed to speak like that!"
"Yin Xiu... jade-like, handsome and dashing."
"Handsome and refined!"
"You steal other people's idioms and misuse words."
"What's it to you! I've said it enough!"
"Don't make it harder for me!!"
The monsters started fighting.
The arguing made Zuo Meng, who had fainted in the corner, slowly open her eyes.
Upon waking up, he saw two or three strange creatures kneeling in front of Yin Xiu, fighting each other.
He was stunned. "Am I still dreaming...?"
He closed his eyes again, but the arguing continued even with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes again and was absolutely certain that this was reality.
How could a monster be kneeling in front of the player?! How could this be?!
He would never dream of such an outrageous dream!
"You're awake?" After noticing Zuo Meng repeatedly closing and opening her eyes, Yin Xiu called out to her, "You're awake. Let's set off. I can't wait to get to the organization. There's some information I need to give Yin Xiu."
Zuo Meng quickly stood up from the corner, staring warily at Yin Xiu, and said, "You...you're a monster, aren't you? If you're a monster, I won't take you to the organization!"
Yin Xiu: ?
"Don't try to fool me. The ferocity with which you ate that monster just now was completely inhuman, and the monster even knelt before you! You must be the ultimate monster in the dungeon!" Zuo Meng's thinking became increasingly logical, and then she reached a shocking conclusion: "You wouldn't happen to be the warden, would you?!"
Yin Xiu: ...
He silently pointed to Li Mo beside him, "This is my Sin Gate. Will the warden be bound to the Sin Gate?"
Zuo Meng paused, then looked at Li Mo. Li Mo slowly revealed a sinister smile, which made Zuo Meng shudder.
This person isn't human either; he's clearly a member of the Sin Sect. So, Yin Xiu must be a human being?
Seeing Zuo Meng hesitate, Yin Xiu slowly sheathed his knife. "If you're not going, I'll go find it myself. You can just stay here."
With that, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
As soon as he left, the two or three monsters that had been kneeling in front of him immediately became arrogant, staring at Zuo Meng menacingly. Zuo Meng was so frightened that she scrambled towards Yin Xiu, crying, "Boss, take me with you! I'll go with you right now!"
Yin Xiu shook the person hanging on his leg and said indifferently, "You're the boss. I'm still waiting for you to take me under your wing."
Zuo Meng was on the verge of tears. "Big shot, stop pretending. I'm no big shot, I'm a noob. You're the big shot! Help me out! Without you, I'll be getting attacked while clearing dungeons."
His Sin Gate is purely defensive, so it doesn't play a significant role in his hands. If he encounters a besieged room, he's completely helpless. After all, he's only level 58, and he basically used up all his items before entering this dungeon. He thought that binding the Sin Gate would give him a completely new experience, but little did he know it's just a defensive laziness.
"Get up and talk." Yin Xiu shook his leg and pointed at Li Mo next to him. "If you don't get up, you'll be attacked right now."
Zuo Meng's sobs choked as she slowly turned to look at Li Mo beside her. Although he didn't move, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Zuo Meng immediately and obediently let go of Yin Xiu's leg, got up on the spot, and tugged at Yin Xiu's clothes shyly, "Boss, take me with you."
As soon as Yin Xiu was freed, he immediately turned around and left, saying, "To hell with your organization, I'm not bringing anyone."
"But my organization's leader is Yin Xiu, I'm scared." Zuo Meng suddenly changed her tactics, abandoning her pride and self-esteem as a big shot and becoming someone who clings to a powerful figure.
"Didn't you say you were going to work hard with Yin Xiu before?" Yin Xiu stared at him coldly.
"No, I've realized that trying is useless. It's better to just lie down and relax. If you run into a big shot, you'll be at a huge disadvantage if you don't latch onto their coattails." Zuo Meng followed behind Yin Xiu earnestly. Although she still had that same drive, her direction had changed. "Holding onto Yin the Killer's leg is not as good as holding onto yours. Although you are also in danger, Ye Tianxuan is definitely not as dangerous as Yin Xiu."
He thought about it and felt that his idea made perfect sense.
Yin Xiu glanced coldly at the Sloth Gate floating beside him; it was still affected.
The two walked through the corridor and arrived at the next area. They were planning to reach the stairwell before the floors were rearranged so that they could find their desired floor smoothly.
But as soon as they stepped into the next corridor, Elysium began to flip and scatter.
Li Mo immediately crawled back into Yin Xiu's left hand and tightly gripped the doorknob next to him to steady Yin Xiu's body, while Zuo Meng, protected by her lazy shield, was shaken and rolled all over the floor in the corridor.
After a dizzying spin, Elysium finally fell silent.
Yin Xiu let out a long sigh, touched his left hand, and then looked at Zuo Meng, who was sprawled on the ground, and said, "Let's go."
Zuo Meng staggered to her feet, her face pale. "I felt like throwing up from all the shaking. It's like they're spinning every half hour. It's killing me."
"Hmm." Yin Xiu responded, turned around and gripped the corridor door next to him, starting to worry. If it was less than half an hour before he could get to the stairwell to see Ye Tianxuan, how was he going to do it?
Just as I was feeling troubled, I pushed open the door and was immediately met with a cacophony of voices from behind.
Although it was the Rage Layer, I didn't see any monsters enraged and killing players, or players enraged and killing monsters. The layers of crowds were very lively, but the direction of the liveliness was strange.
"Everyone, remember this! Join Boss Yin Xiu's organization! It guarantees you'll clear this dungeon."
"You don't need to give up too much. No one will take away your offensive items. You can still move around any level to collect information. At the same time, you can freely obtain information within the organization. All you need to do is be willing to contribute to this group and give up your healing items."
"Everyone knows the name Yin Xiu from the mouths of the monsters, right? I don't need to say more about his prestige, do I?"
"Instead of risking your life to get through the dungeon on your own, why not trust the experienced players, join a group, and work together with everyone?"
Looking at the person holding a megaphone and constantly proclaiming the organization in the corridor, Yin Xiu felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen this familiar scene just yesterday.
Upon seeing the floor refresh and Yin Xiu appear, a person immediately appeared in front of him with something that looked like a flyer, enthusiastically promoting it: "You look confused, are you a new player?"
"Have you considered joining Yin Xiu's organization? There's a lot of information in the group. As long as you provide your own information and also contribute healing items, I guarantee you can easily clear this dungeon."
Yin Xiu stared at him coldly, then glanced at the corridor floor. Not bad, so many players have been lured in a short period of time. It's exactly the same as the town mode. No wonder it's Ye Tianxuan.
Seeing Yin Xiu's indifferent reaction, the person next to him continued to ramble on, "Don't worry, Boss Yin Xiu wouldn't be short of your healing item. You probably don't know who Yin Xiu is, right? Let me explain to you what kind of existence Yin Xiu is!"
