Chapter 35: Real Intentions

“Isn’t the Desolate Tower Trial once a month? Even if we team up, the timing of our trials will be different, right?”

As Wang Shuo asked, he took out the Sealing Crystal and put Garuru away.

Wang Yi answered, “Don’t worry. After joining a team, the players will have an opportunity to adjust the trial time for free. When we return, you will sign a contract to join the team, and then you can adjust your trial time to the same time as ours.”

“I see.”

The two of them got into the car, and the off-road vehicle started.

Wang Shuo suddenly thought of something. “You said that there’s a boss nearby?”

“Yeah.”

Zhang Yu casually added, “And it’s a boss with an index of 1.1. It’s no different from giving benefits for free.”

Yet another new term. Wang Shuo asked, “What does an index of 1.1 mean?”

“Damn, brother, you don’t even know this? If you don’t have five stars, I would have thought that you just passed the Newcomer’s Trial.”

Zhang Yu mocked him a little, but he wasn’t impatient at all. “An index of 1.1 means that the boss’s strength = combined party strength*1.1. For example, if you are five stars, the boss you meet will be five and a half stars, or five stars plus a few mobs.

“Two five-star players might encounter a six-star boss with double strength or two five-and-a-half star bosses.”

Wang Shuo smiled awkwardly to hide his emotions. Could I have killed the boss they mentioned?

Just as he was considering whether he should say it or not, He Bing suddenly stood up. “Drive there.”

Ge Yanhui stepped on the accelerator. Shortly after, they arrived at a short slope, and seven figures appeared before everyone.

“It’s Team Hannibal.”

At a glance, He Bing recognized the origin of these people. Some disgust surfaced on his face. “These scumbags are probably extorting new people again.”

Wang Yi shook his head. “It has nothing to do with us. The boss is more important.”

Because of Heart Mirror, Wang Shuo’s vision was far-reaching.

At a glance, he saw two burly men surrounding a 17 or 18-year-old teenager and saying something.

Beside the teenager was a giant spider with a few broken legs. It was curled up and shivering in fear.

As the off-road vehicle drove past, Wang Shuo silently watched and didn’t ask anything.

From their expressions, he knew that such coercion was commonplace. If he revealed that he didn’t understand anything, it would arouse suspicion.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yu said impatiently, “Boss, did you remember wrongly? Are you sure the desolate boss is nearby?”

“I can’t possibly remember wrongly,” Wang Yi snapped.

“Could someone have gotten it ahead of us?” Ge Yanhui, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Wang Yi frowned. “You mean Team Hannibal?”

Ge Yanhui didn’t say anything further and suddenly looked at Wang Shuo. “Brother, which camp are you from?”

Wang Shuo answered without thinking. “Xinge Camp. Why?”

Jiao Shuai scratched his nose and asked seemingly casually, “If I remember correctly, Xinge Camp is more than thirty kilometers away from here. So what are you doing here?”

Wang Shuo’s face darkened. “Are you suspecting me?”

“Don’t be so worked up. We’re just asking. We’re all on the same side. If you killed the boss, just let us know. It’s just a boss. It’s nothing much.”

“Yeah. Don’t you think it’s uncomfortable in this heat today?”

Everyone looked at Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo knew that timidness was the last thing he should show at this moment, so he had a very unyielding attitude. “It’s not me. It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

“Alright, we’re all brothers. Why are you so tense?”

Wang Yi laughed. “How about this? For the sake of our future collaboration, brother, show me your inventory. If it’s really you, I promise I won’t take anything from you.

“If it’s not you, I will have them all apologize to you.”

Wang Shuo sighed. “Is this really necessary?”

Wang Yi reached out and grabbed Wang Shuo’s shoulders like a pair of iron pincers. “Don’t you trust me?”

“This is what you are after, right?” Wang Shuo’s eyes narrowed and turned cold.

“Brother, what are you saying? I don’t understand.” Wang Yi looked puzzled.

Wang Shuo remained silent and took a deep look at these six people.

[Do you want to enter the Desolate Tower?]

Yes.

[Starting teleportation…]

Just as Wang Yi was about to continue persuading him, his expression suddenly changed. “Tower Entry Ticket?”

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Shuo’s figure was enveloped by a ball of white light and disappeared.

“F*ck!”

Wang Yi ruthlessly slapped the backrest in front of him, cracking it into two. “Damn, that kid’s luck is too good. How did he get an entry ticket!”

He Bing’s expression was ugly. “Do you think he will seek revenge on us? He might be a legendary class. If he grows, who can stop him?”

Zhang Yu couldn’t help grumbling, “I already said that we should have killed him from the beginning. Even if the Class Advancement Book doesn’t drop, it would prevent future trouble. But now…”

“Shut up!” Wang Yi’s expression was tyrannical. At this moment, he no longer acted like the big brother from before. “It’s not certain whether he’s a legendary class or not. Although we’ve never seen people with a five-star Physique who haven’t advanced classes, it doesn’t mean that he’s a legendary class.

“Even if he’s really a legendary class, that’s something for the future.

“The entry ticket is the same as a normal trial. The spot of entry and exit are the same. We’ll just stand guard here, wait for him to come out, and then directly kill him together.”

Although he said this, Wang Yi was full of regret.

If he had known that the other party had an entry ticket, he would have killed him immediately. “Hopefully, this kid doesn’t complete his class advancement…”

Wang Shuo’s guess was right. From the moment they met, Wang Yi and the others had been acting.

They had had suspicions ever since Wang Shou was fighting the boss.

Desolate bosses all had their own independent space. Once the boss fights were triggered, the players would be locked inside.

Although there were no visible changes on the outside, it would form a special area that was inaccessible from outside.

While Wang Shuo and Marquis Lu Yu were fighting, Wang Yi and the others had passed by and noticed the anomaly.

Then they wandered around to see if they could pick up a freebie.

It wasn’t until Wang Shuo appeared that He Bing’s Surveillance Glasses discovered he hadn’t changed classes yet even though he had a five-star Physique.

After he reported this, Wang Yi, who was a legendary class, immediately realized the problem.

When players completed the Newcomer’s Trial, they would definitely obtain a Class Advancement Book.

But different evaluations gave the different grades of Class Advancement Books.

They were categorized into three grades: common, rare, and legendary.

When he first changed his class to the legendary class holy tiger lancer, the requirement was to have both Physique and battle energy at 2.9.

He grinded hard for two months. And only after completing the first tower trial did he use his points to buy a battle energy cultivation technique before completing his class advancement.

But this man already had a five-star Physique yet hadn’t advanced classes. Moreover, he probably had enough points to purchase cultivation techniques. Thus, the most likely reason was that he didn’t meet the class advancement requirements.

For a five-star physique not to meet the requirements, there could only be one possibility—a legendary class.
