The entrance to the D-level dungeon wasn’t lonely at all.
Although there were far fewer D-level Awakeners than E-level Awakeners, a dungeon that might grant defensive abilities attracted not only D-level Awakeners but also E-level and even C-level ones.
Defensive power is a weakness for most Awakeners; no matter how strong their attacks are, without defensive power, they can easily get injured.
And the shock-absorbing properties of Defense Armor are limited. When facing attacks from high-level Magic Beasts, even with money to buy Defense Armor, one might still suffer internal injuries.
Of course, hunting new Magic Beasts is also a reason for them to co here.
This has led to a lot more Awakeners outside the Yanjiao Dungeon, as the Dungeon Association has already checked that there are many Magic Beasts inside, so many teams on site were recruiting mbers, wanting to form teams to safely enter the dungeon.
Qian Qi cycled around for a while on a small bike; going into the dungeon alone was too conspicuous, it was better to choose a team to go in with.
But which one to choose...
Qian Qi craned her neck, looking around at the recruiting teams. These teams were all experienced, with whiteboards in front listing specific requirents for joining. So recruited Thunder Elent Masters, so wanted archers, so only allowed n to join, and so only recruited D-level Awakeners.
Qian Qi didn’t know which to choose. She wandered back and forth in front of these teams, hoping so kind soul with keen eyes would pick her up for their team.
In the end, not a single person chose her.
"Why isn’t anyone choosing ?" Qian Qi wondered, "Do I not look ’tough’ enough?"
System: [... Why doesn’t anyone choose you? No clue at all?]
It looked at Qian Qi’s outfit indescribably.
Because she didn’t want to show her two red swollen eyes, she wore completely black sunglasses at this ungodly hour, covering the upper half of her face tightly, with a blade of so unknown species in her mouth, carrying an old pink cartoon backpack used by orphanage kids, and riding a children’s version of a small bicycle.
Didn’t she see the bizarre looks people were giving her?
This might be more conspicuous than going into the dungeon alone!
"I’m just afraid of being too low-key and forgotten in the dungeon," Qian Qi murmured, looking around and picking a team to head towards.
Since you’re all so shy, I’ll take the initiative~
As soon as Qian Qi got near a team, everyone in that team imdiately lowered their heads, pretending not to see her.
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi turned to look at the team beside them, who were watching and laughing at the sight. But when they noticed they were being watched, they quickly turned around and lowered their heads, pretending to see nothing.
Qian Qi: ...
[Hahaha~ No one wants you~]The system laughed heartlessly.
Qian Qi pouted, preparing to move to another team to wreak havoc when soone suddenly stood beside her. A slightly hushed magnetic husky male voice sounded, "Are you recruiting Fire Elent Masters?"
"Yes, are you a Fire Elent Master? E-level?" the team’s leader imdiately asked.
"D-level, but inexperienced, is that okay?" the male voice said, with a hint of nonchalance, sounding like a maverick.
Qian Qi curiously looked over and saw that the speaker was a guy with dyed red hair.
He seed to be about the sa age as her, wearing a black leather studded outfit, with two black earrings on his left earlobe. His rather handso face slightly raised with impatience, resembling a drumr from a band, full of rebelliousness and boldness.
Is he a student from the Awakener University?
Qian Qi sized him up again.
Her scrutinizing gaze was direct and unhidden. Noticing her intense gaze, Xu Jinghong, chewing gum, also turned to size up Qian Qi, ungraciously saying, "What are you looking at, never seen a handso guy?"
Qian Qi seriously nodded, "Indeed, can you bend down a bit so I can take a closer look?"
She pointed to her sunglasses, "It’s too dark, can’t see well."
Xu Jinghong: ...
Xu Jinghong twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, deciding to ignore this lunatic. He turned to ask the team leader, "Recruiting or not?"
"Sure, co on," the leader nodded. Their E-level team had a hard ti recruiting D-level Awakeners; even without experience, the damage caused by a D-level was higher than theirs.
"Is this your first dungeon?" the leader curiously asked, "A student at the Awakener University?"
If a young D-level Awakener hadn’t been in a dungeon, they’re probably students from the Awakener University. For these juniors, they always took special care of them.
It’s tradition, after all, when they were students, they were taken care of by the seniors.
Xu Jinghong nodded, not saying much, only acknowledging his identity.
Seeing this, Qian Qi promptly raised her hand, "I, I am also a student at the Awakener University!"
The leader slightly stiffened, then continued talking to Xu Jinghong, trying to ignore Qian Qi.
Seeing the leader not paying attention, Qian Qi quickly slid her little bike and grabbed his arm, "Leader! Leader, please lead ! I’m an Awakener too!"
The leader, seeing no way to escape, reluctantly turned and asked, "What is your level and attribute?"
"I am E-level speed!" Qian Qi declared proudly, "Run super-fast, don’t worry, if we encounter danger, I’ll definitely run super-fast and not hold you back!"
The leader: ...
Grouping is for mutual protection, not to see who runs faster when disaster strikes!!!
Rubbing his brow, the leader said with a headache, "How’s your physical strength? If we run into danger, can you carry an injured person and run?"
Speed-type Awakeners are quite useless in combat. They are generally assigned to scout or rescue, rarely engaging in combat.
Qian Qi pat her chest confidently, "No problem, two people won’t be a problem!"
Looking at Qian Qi’s thin arms and small fra, the leader doubtedly showed a skeptical look.
"Let demonstrate for you!" Qian Qi glanced around, then her eyes locked onto Xu Jinghong nearby.
Xu Jinghong: ???
"What do you want?" Xu Jinghong suspiciously took a step back.
"Nothing." Qian Qi grinned, showing her small white teeth, then turned to the leader, offering her back, "Leader, give it a try yourself!"
The leader wasn’t shy. Assuming Qian Qi was a boy, he directly climbed onto her back.
He has to consider the safety of his other team mbers. If Qian Qi couldn’t carry soone or chickened out, he won’t let her into his team.
Qian Qi carried the leader, who weighed over 170 pounds, then released her hands, instructing, "Leader, hold on tight yourself!"
The leader hadn’t yet understood why Qian Qi told him to secure himself when he saw Qian Qi suddenly charge forward like a ferocious tiger, sidestepping Xu Jinghong with both hands and sweeping him up, carrying him away!
Xu Jinghong, caught off guard in a princess carry: ???
The leader, jaw dropped in disbelief: ???
