《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 715. Peculiar Astray Ghost

“Bang!”
After some fog could be seen, the place with the massive rock sunk downwards and a teleportation gate appeared in front of everyone.
“This is the entrance. Everyone, come on in!” Peak Of Perfection waved his hands at Wang Yu and co.
Wang Yu walked in front and just as he was about to enter, Peak Of Perfection pulled him back. “Do you know what you’re doing? Don’t you know Guardians should be the first to enter such a dungeon?”
“???” Wang Yu was confused as he asked Fearless, “There is such a rule?”
Fearless shook his head. “This is the first time I’m hearing this too… But I believe it is so that it is because he is afraid there might be an ambush from monsters at the gate.”
“That’s right! No wonder you’re the leader! You are indeed experienced and knowledgeable.” A satisfied Peak Of Perfection nodded.
The game designers of > were all extremely wretched as they would resort to any despicable means just to harm players. Planting monsters at the entrance of dungeons was not limited to only hidden dungeons. Even some of the higher level ordinary dungeons would have such dirty tricks. Therefore, players would usually send Guardians in first to make sure the place was cleared.
Peak Of Perfection was indeed a cautious strategist as seen from how much he cared about minor details like this.
However, the Quan Zhen Sect was not used to this habit because they had Wang Yu with them. After all, Wang Yu was a Pugilist who was even more formidable than any tank.
“Alright, you can go in first.” Wang Yu gave way to Crotch Lord.
Crotch Lord nodded as he went into the dungeon first.
“You can all come in now, there is no danger here.” After Crotch Lord entered, he sent a message to the rest before they entered one after another.
Herb Garden as its name implied meant that this was a back garden. This dungeon was even broader than the Fantasy Garden back in Sky Dragon City. There were flowers and trees all around which was vastly different from the rocky land on the outside.

In front of everyone was a circular rattan gate hung with fresh flowers. This should be the entrance to the next scene.
“Everyone, be careful. I feel like someone is watching us…” The moment they entered the dungeon, Wang Yu suddenly warned.
Hearing Wang Yu’s words, Quan Zhen Sect grew wary as they brought their weapons to their chest. They were prepared to defend themselves at any moment.
“Watching us?” Peak Of Perfection took out a stone emitting red light after hearing what Wang Yu said. He grasped the stone with force as it turned into red light and disappeared from Peak Of Perfection’s hand.
Following that, an eye symbol appeared above Peak Of Perfection’s head as everyone was able to share the mode.
[Panoramic View]: All invisible targets within 1000 of Player Peak Of Perfection will no longer be able to hide. The effect lasts for 600 seconds.
“True Eye?” When everyone saw the eye symbol on Peak Of Perfection’s head, everyone was taken aback.
[True Eye] was a peak grade tool that allowed the player to detect any invisible object or enemy. The ability to counter [Stealth] worked for a full 10 minutes which was why it was exceedingly expensive. A piece of [True Eye] would be priced minimally at 700 gold.
Even if people had it, they would save it to use in extreme circumstances during a fight. However, Peak Of Perfection casually used it after Wang Yu’s warning. This kid was truly wealthy to the extent that he had nothing but good items on him.
After sharing his ability with everyone, Peak Of Perfection chuckled and said, “Look how nervous you’ve gotten us, there is nothing here.”
Fearless replied, “Don’t think too much about it, it is always better to be cautious.”
Between [True Eye] and Wang Yu, Fearless decisively chose Wang Yu.
“Haha, up to you guys.” Peak Of Perfection laughed as he shook his head helplessly. He was thinking how arrogant these fellas from the Quan Zhen Sect could get. He even brought out his [True Eye] and these fellas still acted all worried.

However, it was normal that Peak Of Perfection would think this way because everyone chose to believe what was in front of them.
A worried Fearless asked Wang Yu, “Someone is really watching us?”
“En… And there is more than one. However, I cannot really feel them so I cannot determine their exact position but they are not far away.” Wang Yu replied.
“But there is nothing within ten metres of us,” a skeptical Fearless continued to question.
Wang Yu’s words were way too mysterious so even Fearless couldn’t comprehend.
“Haha!” Wang Yu smiled as he replied, “If everything can be seen with the eye, every dungeon will be a piece of cake.”
“F*ck…”
After getting slapped in the face by Wang Yu’s words, Fearless nodded as though he understood.
Following Peak Of Perfection’s command, Crotch Lord and Boson led the way as they headed towards the rattan gate of the Herb Garden.
Wang Yu followed behind at his own pace as he occasionally listened to Fearless’ complains.
Peak Of Perfection was an extremely confident strategist so Fearless was robbed of his leadership position in this dungeon. All he could do was to follow at the back and be a nanny. It was all due to the fact that Peak Of Perfection was the Boss and that anyone with money would always be in control.
After walking for about a minute, Fearless started chatting with Wang Yu. “This fella still dared to claim the title of the strategy master? After walking for so long, he didn’t even realise that something was amiss.”
“Something amiss? What’s wrong?” Wang Yu asked doubtfully.
Fearless said, “Did you not realise that after walking for so long, we didn’t even see a single monster?”
“Makes sense… How can a hidden dungeon not have anything at all…” Hearing what Fearless said, Wang Yu also came to his senses.
The level of difficulty of hidden dungeons was always exceptionally high. Moreover, the game designers would make hidden dungeons even more difficult in two different ways. The first way was ambush mechanism while the second would be increasing the number of monsters or their strength.
For dungeons like this, facing a monster every three steps would be an exaggeration. However, they should have come across some traps or monsters within every ten metres.
However, after walking over a hundred metres, it was simply too unusual that they had such a pleasant journey.
After Fearless said this, Peak Of Perfection suddenly instructed, “The front row… Stop walking forward…”
“What’s wrong?” a confused Crotch Lord asked…
“Did you notice that something is amiss…”
“Hey, this kid has a pretty good reaction. He is only slightly slower than me.” Fearless smiled and told Wang Yu when Peak Of Perfection finally noticed this.
“Oh…” Wang Yu responded before whispering to Fearless, “So what should we do next…”
Fearless shrugged his shoulders as he replied, “How should I know… I’m only trying to prove my point that this kid is still inferior to me…”
“…” Wang Yu furrowed his brows when he realised this was how strategists compared with each other. How childish could they get?
“Not good! Astray ghost!”
In the game, some BOSS knew fantasy skills which could make players lose direction and walk rounds around the map. This was commonly regarded as astray ghosts.
As Peak Of Perfection spoke, he took out a disk-shaped object…
Wang Yu knew about this tool as it was the game’s compass. Wang Yu had one in his bag too. It seemed like this Peak Of Perfection had quite a complete set of tools.
“Everyone, follow me!”
Peak Of Perfection confirmed the direction on his compass before shouting at Wang Yu and company.

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
