Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - Chapter 26

Xu Yan, Xiao Hu, and Da Tou (nicknamed Goofy Dan) exchanged glances, all wearing the same shocked and numb expressions.

Clearly, they all thought of the same thing.

Right now, all three were deeply relieved that they had the sense to back down when they should.

People naturally admire the strong.

If the gap between two people isn’t that wide, discovering the other is stronger will initially spark some unwillingness-you’ll think that with some hard work, you could definitely surpass them. But if the difference is an insurmountable chasm, there’s no resentment left-only genuine respect and admiration remain.

Just like Xu Yan now.

From the very beginning, she hadn’t accepted Ruan Tian’s superiority.

She always thought she was just temporarily under someone else’s thumb and would one day regain her ground.

But now, not a trace of that idea remained in Xu Yan’s mind.

Because she couldn’t make it onto the Server-wide Announcement, couldn’t level up by more than ten levels within half a month, and didn’t even have the courage to challenge the Mandatory Dungeon.

Da Tou, unlike the other two, didn’t think so much. His eyes shone brightly, looking at Ruan Tian with pure admiration.

He leaned forward, his voice loud: “Top Player! Are you the one who first cleared the Mandatory Dungeon?”

Xiao Hu and Xu Yan: |ʘᗝʘ|

Goofy Dan, what are you doing, just asking that so bluntly?

Aren’t you worried the Top Player will get mad at you?

Although their contact with the Top Player hadn’t been much-just a few short hours-they could tell her temper wasn’t the best.

They knew, and they were curious too, but they didn’t dare ask.

They absolutely didn’t expect Da Tou to blurt it out so directly.

Xu Yan and Xiao Hu, one on each side, tugged Da Tou, telling him to stop talking.

Otherwise, who knew if they’d even be able to walk out of this courtyard today.

Xu Yan explained carefully, “Top Player, Da Tou isn’t quite right in the head, please don’t take it seriously.”

Xiao Hu quickly added, “Yeah, yeah, he’s been a fool since he was a kid.”

Da Tou: “???”

Hey, is that polite?

Da Tou wanted to retort, but seeing Xiao Hu and Sister Yan looking nervous, he realized maybe he’d said something wrong and that they were looking out for him, so he wisely kept quiet.

Ruan Tian didn’t care about their change in attitude.

She glanced at the burly young man. Though he looked rough, his eyes held a rare purity.

Of all of them, Ruan Tian actually had the best impression of him.

She admitted directly, “It was me.”

Seeing that Ruan Tian wasn’t angry and even answered Da Tou’s question, the other two finally let out a sigh of relief.

And the happiest of all was Da Tou.

His admiration for Ruan Tian outweighed his fear.

Ruan Tian’s answer gave him the courage to keep speaking.

He scratched his head, a little embarrassed: “Top Player, I have a question I’d like to ask you.”

Xiao Hu and Xu Yan were both sharp enough to see that Ruan Tian was a bit more patient with Da Tou, so they sensibly stayed silent.

Ruan Tian frowned slightly. “Don’t call me Top Player, it sounds awkward. Call me by my name.”

Da Tou: “……”

No way!

Calling her by name would be disrespectful to the Top Player. That wouldn’t do.

This time, Da Tou’s mind worked especially quickly. He scratched his head and grinned: “Top Player, how about I call you Sister Ruan?”

Ruan Tian: “Suit yourself.”

“I’m in a good mood right now. Ask away.”

Receiving Ruan Tian’s clear approval, Da Tou brightened up.

“Sister Ruan, what’s actually inside the Mandatory Dungeon? How can someone clear it smoothly?”

Xu Yan and Xiao Hu: (˶˚ᗨ˚˶)

Jumping right in with such a sensitive question-can they really walk out of this courtyard today?

The way to clear each dungeon, before it becomes public knowledge, is always a rare and valuable secret.
Many people carry dungeon-clearing secrets, exchanging resources, information, and even life-saving Weapon Cards with others.

Ruan Tian was the first person to clear a Mandatory Dungeon, and countless people wanted the information she held about Mandatory Dungeons.

That’s why so many people sought out Ruan Tian.

Da Tou just asked directly?

How is that any different from freeloading?

What if the Top Player gets angry and wipes them out?

Xu Yan and Xiao Hu were nervous and fearful.

Da Tou, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, looking at Ruan Tian expectantly.

The bloody scene Xu Yan imagined didn’t happen.

Ruan Tian answered calmly, “Wild Monster.”

“Based on your own level, enter the corresponding five-star hard dungeon, kill a hundred Wild Monsters, and you’ll clear it.”

Xu Yan and Xiao Hu exchanged glances-was this something they were allowed to hear?

Such important information, and the Top Player just said it outright?

No wonder she’s a Top Player-they had judged her with petty minds.

Ruan Tian’s image instantly soared in their hearts.

As for the previous unpleasantness, Xu Yan thought, isn’t it normal for a Top Player to have a temper?

She was the one who was immature before.

How could the Top Player be at fault?

“Oh~ so that’s how it is.”

Da Tou slapped his forehead, suddenly enlightened, then loudly thanked Ruan Tian: “Thank you, Sister Ruan.”

The sun had already set, and the sky outside the window was painted orange-red. The afterglow shone through the window, falling at Ruan Tian’s feet.

She said, “That’s it for today. Don’t forget to come clean every three days.”

“Okay, Sister Ruan.”

The three answered in unison, their voices full of excitement, with not a hint of reluctance.

It was a world apart from their previous, half-hearted attitude.

If nothing unexpected happened, they were about to latch onto a Top Player.

By the end of the month, the Top Player’s name would definitely be on the leaderboard.

Who knows how many people would want to cling to the Top Player then.

And they were already far ahead.

Plus, they had a spot on the Top Player’s friend list.

Those people would be green with envy.

The three had just taken a few steps when Ruan Tian called out to them again.

Xu Yan asked obsequiously, “Sister Ruan, is there anything else?”

“Help me find a cook-someone who’s really good at making tasty food.”

Xu Yan agreed immediately, “Okay.”

She happened to know someone and would send them over soon.

Ruan Tian nodded, “Mm, bring the right person straight here. I’ll cover all his tasks and daily needs-just one requirement: he must come whenever called, and cook well.”

Hearing Ruan Tian’s words, Xu Yan, who was about to agree, froze.

Wait, what…

What was the Top Player saying?

Cover all his tasks and daily needs?

Did she mean what Xu Yan thought she meant?

Xu Yan asked uncertainly, “Sister Ruan, by ‘daily needs,’ do you mean…?”

Ruan Tian turned to look at her, “Oh, since we can form a team and bind together, if he becomes my cook, he’s naturally my person. He just needs to focus on cooking for me, and I’ll handle everything else. Is that hard to understand?”

Rather than constantly looking for someone to cook, it was better to just keep one around.

Xu Yan: “…”

Not hard to understand-just hard to believe.

Binding with the Top Player as a teammate was a shortcut to the top.

She suddenly realized that the Top Player had originally wanted to find a cook among them.

But at the time, she just wanted to get it over with and leave, so she hadn’t put in any effort.

Oh my god, what had she missed out on!!!

Realizing this, Xu Yan suddenly wanted to slap herself.

What was she even pretending for back then?

How did she let such a great opportunity slip by!!!
