Chapter 25: Solo Raid: F-Rank Toxic Giant Spider
The mont Lucien agreed, an invisible thread shot out of the void and wrapped around Lucien’s body.
It felt similar to when he signed Mumu as his tenant, so...is this the power of a contract?
Lucien suppressed his unease and lifted his chin at Brother Yong.
"Let’s go to the F-rank Toxic Giant Spider dungeon— "
"Wait, wait, I’m also going? But I’m not a hunter— "
Lucien stared at Luren coldly and Luren smiled sheepishly, his fists clenched behind his back.
"Okay, fine, let
close the stall first."
Luren yielded and snapped his fingers.
The next second, his entire stall disappeared out of thin air.
Plop!
A bronze palm-sized placard fell from the air and landed on Luren’s palm.
The rchant imdiately pocketed the placard cautiously, as if it was more important than his life.
Lucien acted as if he had seen such scenes too many tis, but inside, his jaw dropped to the floor.
Omg. The black market had such a function??
No wonder many rchants still flock to this place even if it’s hell on earth!
"Okay, done. Thank you for your patience, my lord."
"My goods— "
"All stored safely! I can co back anyti to take it for you!"
Luren flattered Lucien again while Brother Yong rolled his eyes, yet his attitude towards Lucien remained respectful.
"I’ll lead you out of the black market, young master."
Lucien, who didn’t know how to leave the black market at all, rejoiced inwardly.
Thanks, brother Yong and friends!
"Mmm. Let’s go."
The group swiftly returned to the starting point where Lucien first entered.
"I’ll be waiting outside, young master." Brother Yong murmured "leave the black market" and his figure instantly disappeared.
The other group mbers muttered the "spell" one by one, but Lucien suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Wait. What if he returned to the maid cafe’s toilet?
It hadn’t even been an hour since he entered the black market—
Wouldn’t the soldiers and those hounds still be waiting outside??
What to do?? What to do??
Lucien was this close to not leaving the black market and considering becoming a lifeti rchant instead, but Luren’s eyes on his back pushed him on edge.
It’s okay, it’s okay, maybe those people aren’t there anymore...
"Leave the black market."
Swish.
Lucien’s figure disappeared and the familiar feeling of breaking out of a mbrane returned.
Lucien’s vision was blurry for a split second before it cleared up, much faster than when he left the sli dungeon back then.
Tak.
Lucien suppressed his nausea and landed on his feet calmly, his muscles tense and his eyes darted around, swatching for the soldiers and their hounds.
But to his surprise, he appeared at the familiar gambling street, far away from the maid cafe.
Ah, so the entrance and exit are different?
Thank God!!
Lucien imdiately noticed Brother Yong’s huge figure on the street, standing next to a sleek, silver car floating a few centiters in the air.
Is that a flying car?
"Young master, please, "
One of Brother Yong’s followers waved her hand and the car door disappeared like a mirage, welcoming Lucien in.
Lucien kicked the asphalt with his shoes and entered the car smoothly, not like soone who had never even touched a flying car before.
The group waited until everyone was seated— Luren was unceremoniously thrown to the trunk before the car slowly ascended.
The mont the car was at a suitable height for flying cars, the car imdiately bolted towards the city’s outskirts, leaving a silver trail in the air.
Inside the car, Lucien felt almost no tremor, remaining as steady as if he wasn’t flying.
The journey that would take thirty minutes on land was completed in the blink of an eye.
Sshhhh....
The car slowly descended and Lucien could already see the bustling scene below.
A vast plot of land appeared, filled with countless large tents and portable one-room houses, forming a layered ring.
Standing at the center of the ring was a familiar gate glowing with a bright white light.
Countless awakeners in various clothing holding unique weapons in a group of two or three lined up neatly in front of the gate, waiting for the guards to allow them in.
Sensing a new dungeon’s energy, completely different from the black market dungeon, the system guide imdiately rang.
DING! [An unconquered dungeon of the sa rank has been detected nearby.]
[rged dungeon: 1/1]
[Landlord, please increase the rge dungeon slot to acquire a new one!]
If one tenant gave one dungeon slot, he needed to sign one more tenant.
Lucien’s eyes swept briefly towards Luren, sending a chill down the rchant’s spine.
"Here we are. This gate is owned by the Poison Ring Guild, one of our Grindhall City’s strongest guilds."
Brother Yong introduced the gate with a hint of pride in his voice.
"I knew the guild leader, so you can enter the dungeon imdiately, no need to queue!"
"Hmmm, is this gate registered?"
Lucien asked offhandedly as he stepped down the car, his striking figure and the box in his arm imdiately attracted several people’s eyes.
"Well, registering it to the Dungeon Managent Bureau is such a hassle..." Brother Yong replied with a bit of an embarrassnt
"So we just guard the dungeon manually and turn it into a farm dungeon."
No sterile machines, no complicated checkpoints, just pay the entrance fee, pay a little "tribute".
"But this way, even unregistered hunters can co in, " Brother Yong patted his chest.
"Mmm. Creative."
Yes! This ans the dungeon core is still inside the dungeon!
Registered ones usually relocated and hid the dungeon cores.
This one is easier to steal~
Lucien didn’t show any expressions as he strode towards the floating gate.
The people around noticed Lucien’s brazen attitude of cutting the queue and they were about to block his way when Brother Yong shouted,
"Let him in first! I brought him here to test this bastard rchant’s item!"
"Ah, Brother Yong! What about the entrance fee— "
"Waive it!"
"Okay, okay!"
The casually-dressed guards imdiately made way for Lucien while Brother Yong’s other follower flew an eyeball with wings to follow behind Lucien.
"Our Livestream drone will be following. Do you mind if we share the Livestream to other audiences?"
The follower asked Lucien and Lucien just nodded casually.
"Whatever."
His cool deanor imdiately earned the other awakeners’ slight awe as none of them dared to murmur behind Lucien’s back.
On the contrary, Luren was pushed around like a rag and Brother Yong’s followers almost shoved him into the dungeon.
"Here! Carry this failed item and bring it into the dungeon! Let’s see if it works!"
"Don’t you dare switch it. Our eyeball drone is watching!"
"Uh, so I just...co in? Like this? I’m not a hunter— "
Luren gripped the mana-explosion staff tightly, feet rooted to the ground, but the person behind him already shoved him into the gate’s range.
"Go in!"
"Fuck— "
The mont Luren entered a certain radius around the gate, his figure imdiately disappeared.
At the sa ti, Lucien calmly walked in, waving his hands at the eyeball drone following him.
"Let’s go."
Swish!
Lucien’s figure was imdiately swallowed by the gate and a few seconds later, the gate closed.
Zhinggggg...
The familiar dizziness swept over Lucien’s head, but a warm force quickly spread over his body, followed by the system guide’s notification.
DING! [Land Affinity (Passive Skill)]
[Detecting the energy fluctuation ?????? ]
[Warning! Warning! Due to the land’s reaction, the natives are estimated to be ten tis more aggressive than usual!]
Lucien’s arrival shook the dungeon slightly and the dungeon’s movent stirred the beings living inside.
Skrrrk. Skrrkk.
Countless green eyes snapped open, legs rattled without a sound as they crawled towards a specific direction—
Lucien’s place.
