Chapter 462: We Need Tickets for This Dump?
by 不语忧Chapter 462: We Need Tickets for This Dump?
Jiang Huaizhi, "All three forbidden lands are experiencing instability in their restrictions due to the rampant evil energy, and this Horror Amusement Park is currently the most unstable of them all.
Current dungeon rating: SSS-level.
According to feedback from our drone probes sent into the dungeon, it is entirely filled with corporeal humanoid ghosts.
These ghosts are all in a berserk state. If they aren't eliminated quickly, they will immediately break through the restrictions and endanger the entire alliance.
In other words: this dungeon currently has no storyline. Entering it means a straight brute-force clear."
Jiang Mubai, "This dungeon has no player limit. If we deploy the entire Sirius squad along with Blaze's top brass, we estimate it can be cleared in less than two days."
Richard exclaimed in surprise, "It takes two days even with so many people?"
Jiang Mubai nodded, "The number of monsters inside is densely packed and countless. Moreover, these ghosts might not be easy to kill all at once."
Jiang Yuhua looked at Wu Yue, "Baby Sis, we'll escort you back to the Jiang family first."
Wu Yue gazed thoughtfully at the dungeon, "I'll go with you."
Everyone was shocked, "You're going too?"
Wu Yue blinked, "Is that not allowed?"
Wu Chong, "But Yue Yue, aren't you now more of a delicate flower than I am?"
Jiang Yuhua disagreed, "Your body is too weak right now. This dungeon is extremely dangerous!"
Jian Suiyu patted Jiang Yuhua, "Wu Yue, what's your intention?"
Wu Yue, "Don't you think my power shares the same origin as these ghosts? Let's go see if these frenzied ghosts will show me some respect."
After three seconds of silence,
Jiang Qian couldn't help but ask, "What if they do give you face?"
Wu Yue said matter-of-factly, "Then I'll gather them all for a meeting, and you can just stand still and DPS."
Everyone, "..." Alright then. They had to see if she could actually back up this boast!
They arrived at the manifested dungeon [Horror Amusement Park] via shuttle. As soon as they entered, the entire place was filled with ghostly wails and howls, and foul, miasmic energy permeated everywhere. The stability of the entire dungeon was on the verge of collapse.
Just as everyone began putting on respirators, they suddenly saw Wu Yue take a deep breath.
She said with a pleased expression, "This place is great!"
She felt energized after arriving here.
Everyone, "..." Excuse me? Are you sure?
Wu Yue turned to the others excitedly, "I think I might actually be able to boss them around."
Jiang Yuhua had a vague premonition, "Perhaps the heavier the evil energy, the more beneficial it is for Baby Sis's recovery."
Jian Suiyu's expression was subtle, "So she really is going to claim the throne in the orderly realm."
He hadn't misjudged Wu Yue—she was destined to be the woman who would become the Great Demon Queen!!
Shen Que followed silently behind Wu Yue, his expression growing stormier.
In a dangerous tone, he said, "You said yesterday that your guess was wrong."
Wu Yue, "Don’t rush, the monsters haven’t spawned yet."
The closer they got to the monster spawning point in the instance, the evil energy grew so thick it felt almost tangible. The sky was shrouded in black mist, reducing visibility to less than three meters.
With such poor visibility, if a monster suddenly lunged out, it could easily cause casualties.
Even though Wu Yue said she could command the ghosts and monsters, everyone still tightly surrounded her in the center, making sure not even a fly could get through.
Chunya and Jiang Yuhua, the two main healers, stood right beside Wu Yue, on edge.
Wu Yue was annoyed by their overprotectiveness. If they continued to treat her like a national treasure, she’d just run instances with only Shen Que next time.
Wu Yue, "Can I—"
Everyone, "No! Shut up!"
Wu Yue, "...Okay."
Hmph! Now she’s mad!! Next time, even if they beg her, she won’t come!!
As the rickety iron gate of the amusement park came into view, a chilling wind blew, causing the gate to creak and groan. In the distance, various large amusement park facilities swayed dangerously, as if on the verge of collapse, their shadows looming faintly in the darkness.
Everyone stared tensely at the chains about to break on the iron gate.
Jiang Huai-zhi, "Monsters might charge at us from all directions soon. Everyone, maintain formation and don’t panic.
Sirius, hold the perimeter. Blaze, circle inside and protect Wu Yue."
Wu Yue raised her hand, "Can I go pull a wave of monsters to test things out?"
Unanimously vetoed by everyone, Wu Yue sulked, squatting in the center and drawing circles in the dirt.
Wu Yue muttered under her breath, "You’ve all changed. Before, you’d support any idea I had."
Chunya brushed her off, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what can we do? You can’t even pull off a backflip now. Lure monsters? You’d be better off just feeding yourself to them!"
If Wu Yue’s idea wasn’t about putting herself in danger, they’d have humored her.
But right now, they had more than enough people. They could just fight a bit longer—there was no need for Wu Yue to take risks.
Wu Yue tugged at Shen Que’s sleeve. Husband! Say something!
Shen Que squeezed her hand, "Just stay here. I’ll go pull the mobs."
Wu Yue, "..." So he’d agreed to her face, but never actually intended to let her take action from the start!!
With that, Shen Que directly drew Poseidon's Trident and hurled it far ahead.
Carrying flickering heavenly lightning and an intense battle intent, a golden light shot through the sky like a bolt, piercing straight into the endless abyss. Shen Que moved as fast as lightning, snatching back the trident that had skewered a monster clean through.
Dozens of humanoid monsters had gathered in front of the amusement park gate. The moment they entered the monsters’ aggro radius, countless SS+ monsters swarmed toward Shen Que.
Shen Que had no intention of pulling the monsters anywhere near Wu Yue. With a triple jump, he gathered the monsters, his movements accompanied by the golden light effects of Poseidon's Trident. He tanked the damage straight on, activated his weapon’s special skill, and unleashed an ultimate move that wiped out dozens of SS+ monsters in one go, instantly clearing the area and leaving loot scattered everywhere.
The dismembered limbs and remains of the monsters littered the ground, yet not a single drop of blood stained his clothes. From start to finish, it was a silent exhibition of violent beauty.
Jie Chen, "...He really got to show off."
Jian Suiyu, "He's just preening like a peacock for Wu Yue. The rest of us are just incidental."
Chun Ya clapped excitedly, "Yue Yue, look! Your husband is amazing!"
Wu Yue, "...Pfft, if I went, these little ghosts would probably just make me their boss right away. I’d have them dance for you—"
Everyone turned to Wu Yue, "How are you still not over this idea?!"
Shen Que turned his head to look at Wu Yue, who grinned and gave him two thumbs up.
Pressing his lips together to suppress a smile, he turned and continued deeper into the instance.
After Shen Que easily took care of the first wave of monsters, just as he was about to step into the amusement park, Wu Yue suddenly called out, "Shen Que, come back."
Without a second thought, Shen Que immediately returned to Wu Yue’s side. "What’s wrong?"
Wu Yue pondered, "If this instance originally had a storyline, but it’s been disrupted by the rampant evil energy, wouldn’t barging in like this risk causing the already chaotic instance to collapse and release the evil energy?"
Shen Que snapped, "If you keep using your brain like this, I’ll send you out of the instance right now."
Wu Yue nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I was just thinking—shouldn't we buy tickets to enter the amusement park? Normally, you buy tickets first before going in, right? Otherwise, the guards would chase you out. Maybe these ghosts gathered at the entrance because they tried to get in without tickets and were killed by the guards, turning into ghosts/monsters."
Everyone looked stunned. Buy tickets?
They all looked around at this dim, murky, rundown place with the same confused expression as people looking at phones on the subway. This dump? Buy tickets? What tickets are we even talking about?!
