Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - Chapter 14

Lin Zhixia had been stuck at level 10 for some time, just a little experience away from reaching level 11. She was busy leveling up and didn’t check the message sent by Lin Mother.

As usual, she and Fang Senran finished their Daily Quests and their respective dungeon quests, then agreed to go outside the city to hunt Wild Monsters together, and incidentally check if Lin Zhiqing was dead yet.

After all, no one but her knew Lin Zhiqing’s real situation at that time.

Lin Zhixia returned to the spot where she had dumped Lin Zhiqing, but she didn’t see a corpse. She guessed maybe the Wild Monsters had eaten her up, not even leaving the bones behind.

Her hand and foot tendons were severed, and it was near dusk, with not a single living soul around – if she could survive in that situation, it would be a miracle.

Besides, this place is no longer the peaceful era with many kind-hearted people. Even if she was lucky enough to encounter a player, no one would waste precious potions to save a stranger they didn’t know. No one’s that foolish.

Thinking this way, Lin Zhixia felt a bit relieved.

She hated Lin Zhiqing, couldn’t explain why, just hated her since childhood.

Now… it’s better if she’s dead.

“Zhixia, what’s wrong?”

Seeing her staring blankly at a spot, Fang Senran came over and asked.

Lin Zhixia smiled sweetly, her eyes curved, and obediently hooked her arm around his, her voice soft: “Nothing, let’s go hunt Wild Monsters.”

The fact that Lin Zhiqing was already dead was something only she knew.

No need to let a dead person steal the attention of those around her.

Fang Senran was someone she understood well – always looking elsewhere while eating from his own bowl, a typical scumbag.

He said he only liked her and disliked Lin Zhiqing, but hadn’t he dated her for so long?

Enjoyed her kindness, enjoyed the feeling of being in love with her.

Clearly relishing it, yet claimed it was all for her.

When asked to break up, he’d make excuses, saying if he broke up, she’d come and hurt herself, and he didn’t want to see her get hurt.

Disgusting.

Though Lin Zhixia understood all this, she didn’t show it on her face.

Until she found a better option, having someone to help farm experience was not something to waste.

Fang Senran replied, “Okay.”

The Wild Monsters on the outskirts had almost all been killed, so the two had to venture deeper into the forest.

The deeper they went, the higher the level of Wild Monsters they encountered, and the more dangerous and difficult they became.

Lin Zhixia and Fang Senran had always been lucky. After killing a few low-level Wild Monsters, they stumbled into a Hidden Dungeon. This Hidden Dungeon wasn’t dangerous; it was a gathering quest, just with a large quantity required, so they spent quite a bit of time on it.

They worked nonstop, timing themselves, and finished the gathering quest before missing the third day’s Daily Quest.

Fang Senran still gave the major portion of the experience to Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia leveled up twice in a row, reaching level 12.

“That’s great, Zhixia!”

Fang Senran hugged Lin Zhixia excitedly.

They chatted while hugging for a while, but since they still had that day’s Daily Quest to do, they reluctantly let go of each other.

They managed to finish the day’s Daily Quest before nightfall and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Senran’s cousin, Liu Mufeng, was Rank One on both the Level Ranking and Power Ranking in District 8888.

Since the start of the game, he’d always held the top spot, earning lots of item cards and knowing plenty of information.

Liu Mufeng knew that first clears almost always came with generous rewards.

So, he had once risked entering a forced quest, which was based on the highest difficulty five-star dungeon for your current level.

(For example, levels 1–9, the forced quest would teleport you to a white difficulty five-star dungeon.)

(For levels 10–19, you’d be sent to a red difficulty five-star dungeon.)
And so on.

When Liu Mufeng entered, he was at level 26, which meant the Orange Five-Star Hard Dungeon.

A hundred level-30 Wild Monsters-no matter how many Weapon Cards or Skill Cards he had, he couldn’t withstand the attrition.

Fortunately, he had previously obtained a special Return Card from a Golden Treasure Chest, which allowed him to exit any dungeon directly without any side effects. That was how he managed to escape from the Mandatory Dungeon.

Mandatory Dungeons aren’t impossible to clear, but most people entering for the first time are not well prepared. Facing enemies that outnumber and outlevel them, even if they know the method to clear the dungeon, not everyone is as lucky as Liu Mufeng to have a Return Card to exit.

Naturally, this information couldn’t be shared.

As long as you keep your level at 9, carry more Weapon Cards, and take a gamble, it’s not necessarily impossible to clear it.

People are selfish. Liu Mufeng wanted the dungeon reward for himself, so he wouldn’t spread this information around.

He was only level 26, and it got harder to level up the higher he went.

He was also worried that before he reached level 29, someone else would discover this method and clear the dungeon first.

So he found Fang Senran and told him about it, suggesting he level up to 19 first and clear the Mandatory Dungeon, which would be faster than waiting for Liu Mufeng to reach level 29.

At that time, he would provide some Skill Cards to help Fang Senran clear the dungeon, and they would split the reward fifty-fifty.

But plans can’t keep up with changes, and Fang Senran was still a hopeless romantic.

Half of the monsters Liu Mufeng gave him for leveling were secretly shared with Lin Zhixia.

And Fang Senran didn’t hide his cooperation with Liu Mufeng from Lin Zhixia.

So Lin Zhixia also knew about the Mandatory Dungeon.

Fang Senran originally planned to help Lin Zhixia reach level 11 first, then focus on leveling himself.

Who would have thought that just as they entered the dungeon, news spread throughout the entire server that Ruan Tian from Zone 8888 was the first to clear the Mandatory Dungeon.

Not only was Liu Mufeng stunned, but Fang Senran and Lin Zhixia, who were in the dungeon, were equally dumbfounded.

But being dumbfounded didn’t help-what’s gone is gone.

Fang Senran just felt it was a pity, nothing more.

Although Liu Mufeng had promised to help him, facing a hundred level-20 Wild Monsters, to be honest, he didn’t have much confidence.

Now that someone else had cleared it first, he actually felt a sense of relief.

After a brief moment of shock, Liu Mufeng became determined to find Ruan Tian.

No matter what it took, he really wanted the Golden Treasure Chest in Ruan Tian’s hands.

As Rank One, and never hiding his personal information, Liu Mufeng had countless people wanting to team up with him, so naturally, he knew a lot of people.

Among the top ten players, except for Rank Two whom he wasn’t familiar with, he basically knew everyone else, and none of them were named Ruan Tian.

And Rank Two, Xia Anmo, had revealed her identity that very day, so she was ruled out.

Liu Mufeng could only expand his search.

The top hundred players were all above level fifteen, but he didn’t find the name Ruan Tian among them either. He even checked all the players who had hidden their information.

The other top hundred players, out of respect for his Rank One status, wouldn’t reveal their identities, but they would clearly tell him they weren’t Ruan Tian.

Not in the top ten, not in the top hundred.

Now Liu Mufeng suspected that maybe a level-9 player had accidentally entered the Mandatory Dungeon and, by sheer luck, managed to clear it.

Otherwise, he really couldn’t think of any other explanation.

He mobilized all his connections, but still couldn’t find this person.

It was as if she had appeared out of thin air.
