I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 469 2.0 Gems
"How did it go? What did the captain say?" Several people crowded around and asked the person holding the phone anxiously.

The man's expression was strange. He hesitated for several seconds before slowly saying, "It didn't work..."

"How is this possible! Why won't my brother answer my calls!" The only girl among the four exclaimed in disbelief.

"I remember the captain said he was in a meeting and wouldn't have time for us, so he must be in a meeting if he's not answering the phone now," the man said suddenly.

At that moment, the four heard a soft rustling sound. They turned their heads and saw a white-haired boy of about 16 years old walking towards them. After sensing their gaze, the boy paused slightly and looked back with a suspicious expression.

"Who are you?" The girl narrowed her eyes, her face extremely ugly, clearly thinking that this person would try to steal their dungeon.

The boy blinked his icy blue eyes with a bewildered look, seemingly not expecting them to take the initiative to talk to him.

"Say something," the girl said, frowning irritably.

"Are you talking to me?" he asked tentatively after a moment's hesitation.

"Who else but you??" The girl's face turned even uglier.

"Sorry, it's rare for anyone to strike up a conversation with me, so I'm a little unaccustomed to it. My name is Dao Lin. I heard there's a dungeon here, so I wanted to come and check it out." As he spoke, his face flushed slightly, as if he were a little embarrassed.

"Judging from your appearance, you seem to be a newbie who hasn't done much dungeon planning. Are you trying to die by coming to a dungeon like this?" the girl said disdainfully.

"Yes, Miss is right. Someone as weak as you actually wants to conquer a B-rank dungeon? Just say you want to die." One of them chimed in.

Dao Lin: "..." He really thought Shui Qi had terrible judgment. Anyone of any level could recruit the Strategist Association, but now was not the time to discuss that. He needed to find out why the Strategist Association had suddenly made such a big move.

"I'm sorry, but if you think I'll be a burden to you, I'll wait until the next batch to go in," Dao Lin said softly, lowering his eyes.

"What do you mean? Are you saying we're definitely going to fail?" The girl's expression changed drastically, and she was about to rush over and hit Dao Lin, but she was held back by the people around her.

"I...I didn't," Dao Lin said in a panic. "I was just waiting for a friend, and I couldn't go in with you until he arrived."

"What's the big deal? Let's just wait. We haven't found the dungeon entrance yet anyway." The girl made the decision without asking anyone else. The others just frowned slightly but didn't say anything. After all, she had an older brother who would become the crown prince, someone they couldn't afford to offend.

Daolin sat on the large white rock and surveyed the surrounding scenery.

This is a vast Gobi Desert, filled with yellow earth and sand, with no other vegetation.

He was currently in the wilderness of the eastern part of the Kingdom of Sin, where he had been guided by a gem guide who had suddenly appeared. He had only planned to come here for fun, but he never expected to see four idiots—three men and one woman—standing there dumbfounded, making phone calls. They were wearing the uniforms of the Conqueror's Association, which were easily recognizable.

He originally wanted to investigate the reason for the Strategist Association's big move, so he simply decided to play along and pretend to be a newcomer to test the waters.

He originally went alone, but now that he said he was waiting for a friend, to avoid being exposed, it's best to find someone nearby to come instead.

Mu Yegui is currently in the capital city, and it seems impossible for him to come over in time. So... just when everyone else was getting impatient, they heard Dao Lin calmly say, "He's here."

A very thin-looking boy walked towards them from afar, wearing a gray cloak, his face completely covered by the hood, so his true appearance could not be seen.

“Bell.” Daolin, sitting on the large rock, waved to Beltias with an air of nonchalance.

Bertias: "..." He was just a little close, was it really necessary to drag him into this? Had he forgotten that he was still wanted by the Conqueror's Association?
Dao Lin was wanted by the Strategist Association, but he faked his death. Even though Shui Qi knew it was fake, she didn't expose him, and Dao Lin's wanted poster disappeared.

The matter of Bertias being wanted by the conquerors is not over yet. They even sent a crown prince to hunt him down. Fortunately, both Daolin and Bertias were high-ranking members, and ordinary members had no way of contacting them and were unlikely to know that the wanted person was standing in front of them at this moment.

Currently, 90% of the members of the Conquerors' Guild are new recruits after the September dungeon. Those who knew of Daolin's existence are all dead, so he can openly state his name, but Beltias cannot.

After much deliberation, Bertias said to the group, "My name is Bertias."

Although Bertias looks extremely thin, she is 9 centimeters taller than Daolin.

"How come your friend is just as weak as you?" The girl glanced at Bertias, who was wearing a gray cloak, and said with disdain.

Dao Lin: "..." Actually, he was the only one who was weak; Bertias was much stronger than him.

After all, Bertias is ranked sixth in the overall rankings, while he is ninth, a difference of just a few places.

Seeing that the two men didn't intend to answer, the girl didn't want to say anything more and turned to ask the other three, "Have you found the entrance?"

"No, no, let's wait a little longer," the three shook their heads.

"Why did you suddenly call me? It can't be just because I'm the closest, right?" Beltias leaned back next to Daolin, her eyes fixed on the three of them, and asked quietly.

"Remember that royal decree from not long ago? I met a gem guide who told me there's a dungeon here where gems can appear, so I'm planning to invite you to come and see how this gem-filled dungeon differs from the previous ones."

He had considered looking for Mu Yegui, but Mu Yegui was in the royal city, which was too far away. In addition, he didn't want to encounter Lazy at the Seven Deadly Sins Conference, so he finally gave up the idea of ​​looking for Mu Yegui.

Both Ling Tong and Fei have other things to do. As for the twins, they are currently in the Kingdom of Truth. After thinking it over, it would be better to find Beltias, who is closer to them. Anyway, they both have a grudge against the Conqueror's Association, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Can only the Crown Prince obtain gems, or can ordinary players also obtain them? The gems include real gems and other fake gems. It's impossible to find out the truth without testing it yourself."

The rules only stated that the crown prince should find real gems, but did not mention fake gems, so he was also confused about what was going on.

The historic meeting between Bell and Dorian—don't ask when they met, since I can't focus on every single encounter. They met at some point in time, and I'll probably summarize it in a sentence later.
