Chapter 381: Chapter 278: Two People Setting Off, But to the Sain Ancient City

Gapar spills four-digit spiritual power each time he dies, making him currently the top-notch source of fuel.

Meanwhile, Elsa spills a few hundred when she dies, which is also quite a valuable resource.

Sain Dungeon has now relied on numerical superiority to achieve a massive daily influx of spiritual power, not requiring high-value individual characters to survive.

After all, killing eight or nine ordinary people already earns more spiritual power than taking down Elsa, and the former is undoubtedly easier. To kill Elsa, you either need strategy or overwhelming numbers, which is quite troublesome.

But Gong Qiying’s intuition tells him that a special character like a hero must never be overlooked once encountered. In a game, a big exclamation mark would probably be on the hero’s head.

Such characters usually trigger major events, just like DC’s Lightning Hero.

It’s always good to keep an eye out for them... however...

"I still can’t figure out what this person truly wants."

To manipulate someone, you need to know what they genuinely desire, and use that as bait.

For example, Fran Undead Team to Dal, Tear-Drop Embryo to Gapar, Topps to Steeran.

Gong Qiying observed Elsa for quite a while, feeling that she seemed like a dutiful tool, wondering what she experienced in her childhood to become like this.

Sali: She just has a Batman-like family relationship, thanks to the Demon Clan.

"Since she prefers listening to others’ directives, it’s necessary to target those close to her, making sure her loved ones fall first."

"Bed’s third young master seems inseparable from her, practically like an external brain. But this guy appears to have deep psychological trauma with my dungeon."

Since recognizing this place as belonging to Sain Dungeon, Sali hasn’t come in once, probably truly scared.

"The other members of the Light Eagle Group have been enthusiastic about exploring my place recently. They might also drive Elsa’s interest. But aren’t they mercenaries? Why are they so keen on the dungeon?"

During this period, the Light Eagle Group’s exploration enthusiasm far exceeded other adventurers, hard to imagine they recently showed no interest in anything related to adventurers.

"That kid named Tami deserves attention. The hero seems to have a good relationship with him. He’s part of the Skyrim Strategy Group, making him a convenient starting point."

Given that Tami could come up with the genius idea of defecting in the [Painting World "Casas Warrior"], Gong Qiying has to give him special attention.

He seems like a hot-blooded, righteous young man, easily attracted by heroic stories, of which Sain has many.

In essence, Tami is like... a sunny, cheerful version of Dal?

"Overall, let’s make these two bond more closely."

Gong Qiying thought for a moment and then created a new Painting World, also imbuing it with spiritual power to increase the simultaneous entry to two people.

"When it comes to bonding, it must be through games."

Coincidentally, he’d long wanted to introduce a map fitting the name "Sain", starting with a trimmed version this time.

[Painting World "Sain Ancient City"]

Inside Sain Dungeon, deep within the lower part of Casas Underground Tomb, Tami and Elsa had become the leading explorers, thanks to their serendipitous navigation inside.

After the recent events, they hurriedly continued for a while, now falling silent.

Elsa obediently walked behind Tami, knowing she must have changed in his eyes, so she tried to stay behind, not to agitate him.

But Tami paused to wait for her, an unspoken understanding between them.

The girl looked at Tami’s back, her eyes flickered, changing the mood.

In such an atmosphere, Tami’s mind held only one word:

Mom!

After the impulsive rush, he completely avoided looking back at Elsa, as she had become his greatest fear—his mother...

An image of a chubby middle-aged woman covered in math problems, holding two plates of dark food, kindly asking him to eat would instantly appear upon turning around!

Everyone’s greatest fears differ, and his being "mom" isn’t strange. He originally chose to become an adventurer to escape academics and family.

So, no matter how gently Elsa smiled, expressively shed tears, or created a tender mood...

None of that matter to Tami—he just felt terror.

Why was his greatest fear something like this, making the current atmosphere awkward?

He wore a look of resignation, still seeing "mom" wielding a greatsword and battling monsters during encounters, ending with a victorious gesture.

Just ridiculous, blinding!

After repelling monsters once more, Elsa returned with a look seeking praise, her beautiful purple eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

To Tami, though, it was a scene straight out of Hell, pondering how to diplomatically refuse her accolades when...

[Invaded by soul-sucking ghost "I don’t like rosemary!"]

This terrible naming style, clearly signaling a living person.

Elsa’s face turned cold, immediately drawing her weapon aimed at the slowly forming invader, vowing to dissect them!
