Chapter 128: Chapter 123 The Infinite Adventurer, Come Out!!!

The sounds of battle echoed throughout Fran Fort, leaving one to believe this was an intense struggle by the noise alone.

However, within less than a minute, the fortress fell silent once again.

Half an hour later, a figure made his way through numerous obstructions and once again stormed into Fran Fort.

Still, less than a minute passed before the sounds ceased.

After half an hour, he came again, and again it lasted a minute.

Another half-hour... Oh, he actually held out for two and a half minutes!

After only three deaths, he extended the duration of resistance by a minute. Rounding up, he would only need to die thirty more times to hold out for over ten minutes! Die three hundred more times and he could reach over an hour!

...So weak.

"Is the strength of the Fran Undead Team too extraordinary?"

In the City Lord’s room, Gong Qiying was observing Dal’s repeated deaths and revivals through the Crystal Ball.

He had noticed Dal and his group early on, not by chance, but inevitably.

When the vast majority were still struggling in the mud, three incredibly skilled people relying on personal quality and a bit of incredible luck managed to reach the final BOSS; it was only natural to take a look.

Roger, an old acquaintance seen often playing with Pokemon in the food area, but it seems his luck has been bad recently. The Elf Balls he earned from clearing levels were almost all lost without capturing a single Pokemon, a true portrayal of a dismal situation.

Antili, a new character, appeared in Gong Qiying’s view always alongside Roger, dying at about the same time, almost like a bundled product for sale.

There are occasionally two young people acting alongside them, one of whom had fought with Gong Qiying before, while the other girl was entirely unknown to him; she always bickered and argued with the young man.

This team of four always gave Gong Qiying a sense of déjà vu. If Roger were regarded as a Pokemon Professor, then the two juniors perfectly fit the classic rivalry.

Fate is truly marvelous.

Dal, Gong Qiying had seen him before when he entered Sain Dungeon during its first abnormal change, but he had shown no remarkable skill to catch his attention.

Unexpectedly, Dal had managed to lead the Strategy Group and was the first to find the Fran Undead Team. A hidden expert among ordinary folks, perhaps.

Out of curiosity, Gong Qiying used a clone to investigate Dal in Bed City, conveniently acquiring information on all the Silver Rank adventurers within the city.

With enough money, intelligence is not a problem, especially because the information he wanted was not so secretive—asking around would suffice.

Don’t underestimate my intelligence network; Dal, you’re orphaned, with wolves and a house, right?

Although he proclaimed to have lived with a Wolf pack since he could remember, a careful investigation uncovered his connection to the Chester family, leading to one conclusion—this guy has a big vendetta against the Demon Clan.

Gong Qiying was well-informed. He knew that Dal did not dare to make a vow the first time he met the Ancient Wolf of Fran, so why was he daring today? There must be an inducing factor.

Oh! Wasn’t there a Demon Clan attack just yesterday?

There, it all connects, Gong Qiying reasonably speculated that Dal came to make a vow to gain power for revenge against the Demon Clan.

Quite reminiscent of the deeply wronged protagonists in old novels.

Gong Qiying was also somewhat interested in the so-called Demon Clan attack; his interest lay in how to quickly annihilate the Demon Clan, something that squeezes adventurers dry and causes them trouble.

Since the Demon Clan he encountered so far has been manufactured by the Anti-Dungeon Organization and doesn’t produce spiritual power, for now, it’s best to consider the Demon Clan as worthless.

However, since there still exist Dungeons on the Demon Clan continent, it implies that Demons should produce spiritual power too.

Since Dal is going to fight against the Demon Clan, might as well help him along by going with the flow.

Directly give Dal a cheating device? Impossible, that would make Gong Qiying appear like a wasteful magnate spraying spiritual power around.

The things one obtains through personal efforts are more cherished, so...

He decided to slightly reduce the amount of spiritual power extracted from Dal, allowing him to die a bit more frequently.

Battling formidable enemies is also a good way to grow, especially since the Fran Undead Team not only had statistical beauty but also technical grace.

"I’ve helped you this much, the rest is for you to learn on your own,"

While observing the Crystal Ball, Gong Qiying was planning to adjust the amount of spiritual power extracted from Dal.

"Wait,"

He suddenly frowned, as if he saw something strange.

"How many times has he revived up to now?"

As Gong Qiying contemplated, Dal died twice more. The duration he held out had reached three minutes.

However, correspondingly, the number of deaths had also reached an alarming six!

Six times, even with a wealth of souls, he should be reaching a critical point. How is he still acting fearless and undeterred?

Gong Qiying closely watched the Crystal Ball.

After the seventh death, Dal returned to the Fire Transmission Ceremony site, looking like he was in agony. He curled up on the ground for a while, seemingly unable to hold on.

But then, he took out a Potion and drank it all in one gulp, then tore a Magic Scroll, a gentle glow enveloped him, and his furrowed brow instantly relaxed, his spirit becoming stable.

Turns out he’s a potion-taking gamer.

Using potions and magic to stave off spiritual power deficiency is a good idea, but inevitably it causes damage to the body.

"This guy would have been a workaholic on Earth."

Seeing this, Gong Qiying further reduced the spiritual power extraction from Dal.

As a creator, seeing someone willing to spend vast efforts, money, and even health to conquer a dungeon he created still brought some emotion.

Whether affected by the Demon Clan attack or not, today saw a reduced number of people entering the Dungeon, raising the Demon Clan’s repulsiveness in Gong Qiying’s eyes by a notch.

With nothing better to do, he had been watching Dal’s strategizing process, from dusk till dawn, then from dawn till dusk again.

Dal’s rest periods were getting longer and longer, even though the reduction in spiritual power consumption helped, he was gradually unable to hold on.

Seeing that the Dungeon’s closing time was approaching, he decided to call it quits after one last fight.

In order to continue challenging the Fran Undead Team the next day, he had already booked a high-quality Holy Light Baptism at the Holy Light Church, which could relieve mental stress and restore spiritual power to the greatest extent.

Adventurers do not have the concept of spiritual power, but they know that the degree of their headaches is related to whether they can continue exploring the Dungeon.

The Fran Undead Team was still waiting for Dal’s challenge, and it wasn’t clear whether it was an illusion or not, but it felt like both sides were getting tired of the fighting.

Ten minutes.

This was Dal’s current limit; he could only last ten minutes under the Fran Undead Team, and not a second longer.

"Come on..."

Facing the Undead Team’s initial Thrust attack, a numb Dal dodged to the side, anticipating a follow-up triple slash.

Just as he thought this, the Undead Team indeed caught up and swung their Great Sword at him.

Like a routine, Dal had gradually remembered the Undead Team’s combat style; he could guess the appropriate defensive move as soon as they raised their hand.

But could it really be that simple?

When Dal was exhausted after enduring for five minutes, the Undead Team’s moves suddenly changed; they no longer followed their well-known attack patterns but became more unpredictable, constantly varying their attacks and even using some small tricks conducive to combat.

The disciplined first five minutes were just a warm-up; now the real fight was beginning.

The Undead Team’s stats were too overwhelming, if Dal got hit even once, it would be fatal, forcing him to play a no-hit style.

Ten minutes were up, and the Undead Team’s attacks grew even more fierce; Dal’s left arm had been chopped off.

For his last stand, during a pause in the attack, he suddenly posed in a familiar gesture, that was...

The starting move of the Undead Team’s street dance?

"I’ve watched for so long, I can pick up some basics," he said with a proud smile appearing on his face as he launched his final attack, clashing with the Fran Undead Team using the same technique!

One round later, the match ended with Dal being bisected at the waist.

He collapsed weakly onto the ground, his eyes gradually losing their luster, yet the corner of his mouth maintained a smile.

After a day of fighting, he had gained the biggest achievement of the day—he could rudimentarily utilize the Undead Team’s tactics!

Perhaps he should refer to the Fran Undead Team in front of him as ’teacher.’

"Clang!"

At this moment, a Great Sword was thrown in front of Dal by the Undead Team, belonging to a fallen member of the team. He looked over in a daze only to see the Undead Team motioning with their fingers.

That gesture seemed... to be inviting him to keep challenging them?

"..."

In that instant, a sense of unparalleled satisfaction surged in Dal’s heart, his progress was acknowledged, acknowledged by the Fran Undead Team!

This honor had him so excited he trembled, and in the moment before losing consciousness, he thought:

I want to spend my life with Sain Dungeon!

He felt a genuine fondness for Sain Dungeon from within, a sentiment that was keenly captured by the Dungeon.

Simultaneously, an unexpected change had occurred with Gong Qiying.

A prompt from the Dungeon appeared before him.

[Dal Chester’s Bonds have broken through fifty!]

[Unity Seeker module officially unlocked!]

[Unity Seeker], this is precisely the option next to [Available Monster] that had remained locked!

Curious, Gong Qiying opened the module, and what hit him first was a series of... illustrations?

He was very familiar with the looks of these people, Dal, Leon, Roger, Steeran, and so on.

They were painted in the style of game illustrations, such as Dal’s illustration depicting him surrounded by a wolf pack and posing like the Undead Team, Steeran in a Sun Praising position with bows, long spears, and Big Shields piled at his feet, Holy Light Knight Albud pointing out of the illustration like Uncle Sam, his gaze firm as if determined to eradicate all heretics.

Gong Qiying read on, and suddenly started coughing uncontrollably, choking on his saliva, because he saw something bizarre.

It was Leon’s illustration, where the depicted Leon...

He was stepping on what seemed to be an old man with a resemblance to him and grabbing the collar of a woman, also resembling him, while gesturing mockingly with downward pointing.

Leon was laughing maniacally, with a Reverse Sword and a repeating crossbow at his waist, and underneath him were shattered Feces Pots and Flaming Straight Swords.

The once handsome and righteous young man had been twisted into a form of evil!

[Unity Seeker: Leon Bask]

[Bond Value: 45]

[Talent available when summoned as Unity Seeker: Beating Frenzy]

[Significantly boosts the hand-to-hand combat ability of allies, but may induce frenzy within them]

"What on earth does this Unity Seeker mean?"

Gong Qiying opened the description, and after a moment, he realized:

"So it’s a Hero Unit."
