The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

The leader-level behemoth slowly, very slowly, lowered its head, as if trying to see what had happened.

Then, its massive body began to collapse.

Countless enormous metal blocks crashed down from the sky, striking the ground with a deafening roar.

In the end, this once invincible giant leader was reduced to a pile of scattered, black-smoking metal scraps, piled up like a mountain.

A moment later, the metal debris began to decompose, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated into the air.

[Ding! You participated in defeating the 'Golden Palace Giant' and have received 1000 Source Crystals, 3 Intermediate Health Potions, and 1 Advanced Health Potion.]

[Dropped Items: 2 x 'Giant's Power Core Fragment (Grade B)', 5 x 'High-Density Energy Conduction Circuit (Grade B)'.]

The battle is over.

The entire hall was deathly silent.

Panting heavily, Yi Jian Shuang Han stared dumbfounded at the few lonely, fallen items scattered on the empty ground before him.

"That's...that's it?"

One of the team members couldn't help but step forward and kick a core fragment at his feet.

"What the hell? Such a big boss, a B-rank leader! And all he drops is this piece of junk?"

"Not even a single piece of equipment? Are you trying to fob us off like beggars?"

"Damn it, what a waste of effort! That's so stingy!"

Disappointment and resentment were written all over everyone's faces. The sense of accomplishment from killing the giant BOSS had vanished, leaving only the frustration of being exploited as cheap labor.

Don't be fooled by the fact that 1000 source crystals seems like a lot; this is a B-rank leader, and if it were recycled, it wouldn't be worth so little.

Mo Fang landed lightly from mid-air and dusted himself off.

He didn't even glance at the few B-grade materials on the ground, and walked straight past everyone towards the hundred-meter-long giant gate that had been open since the BOSS appeared, leading to a deeper area.

"Hey, Mo Fang! These things..." Yi Jian Shuang Han shouted subconsciously.

Mo Fang didn't turn around, but simply uttered a sentence.

"It's just trash, I don't want it. If you want it, pick it up yourselves."

A sneer twitched at the corner of Yi Jian Shuang Han's mouth, but his body reacted faster than his mind, and he stood up immediately: "Indeed, they're just some trash. I could kill a few more monsters by wasting time on them."

The others muttered under their breath, "Damn it! It's all rigged!"

I originally wanted to pick it up, after all, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

But upon hearing Mo Fang's words, he immediately withdrew his outstretched hand.

Even if you lose the game, don't lose your spirit.

You can earn more Source Crystals, but once you lose face, it's truly gone...

Seeing this, the others' lips twitched slightly, and then they turned and left.

He pretends to be nonchalant on the surface, but he's actually heartbroken.

......

Half an hour later, all ten members of the Mo Fang team appeared at the entrance to the previous instance.

But now, only a few scattered players remain, and the light gate that originally exuded an ominous aura and distorted space has long since disappeared.

With a dark expression, Yi Jian Shuang Han kicked a piece of gravel away.

"That's so stingy! I cleared a B-rank dungeon and didn't get a single piece of equipment!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed anger.

He was already furious because he was too embarrassed to pick up the loot in front of the BOSS, and the meager rewards for clearing the dungeon only added fuel to the fire.

The atmosphere in the group was somewhat subdued, and Leng Yue broke the silence by speaking first.

"What are your plans next? Keep grinding?"

This question subconsciously drew everyone's attention to Mo Fang.

Mo Fang dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves and spoke calmly.

"We've already experienced the difficulty of the dungeon. With our combined strength, soloing it shouldn't be a problem, so I'd like to try soloing it."

Solo play?

Are you kidding me? That's a large-scale raid instance, and the final Death Knight in the instance is almost at the Lord level. Just thinking about it now sends chills down my spine.

Although Mo Fang's final earth-shattering blow did indeed end the BOSS, it was based on the premise that the ten of them fought desperately to restrain and create opportunities!

However, just a second later, everyone almost unanimously expressed their agreement.

There was no other way; since the Mexican side had already spoken up about loading the cargo, it would seem inferior for them to object.

"OK."

That makes sense.

"Soloing is good, soloing is more efficient."

Yi Jian Shuang Han nodded heavily, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace: "That's right, the loot is too little when you team up, it's more worthwhile to solo."

But inside, he was screaming wildly.

What a load of rubbish!

The drop rate in dungeons is already incredibly low, and while teaming up means splitting the loot equally, at least it's safer and more stable.

Soloing? Not only will it take several times longer, but you could also lose your life if you're not careful.

The problem is, with the Mexican cargo carrier present, this team can't be assembled!

That's a Grade B material! A fragment of the Giant's Power Core, if listed on the exchange, could easily sell for a few thousand Source Crystals.

And what happened? They didn't even lift an eyelid, simply saying, "Just trash."

Rubbish?

After hearing this, who would dare to pick it up?

If you go and pick it up, wouldn't that be admitting that you're stingy and a garbage collector?

He made himself look poor and unsophisticated.

He's at least the fourth-ranked expert on the ladder!

The more Yi Jian Shuang Han thought about it, the angrier he became. He had saved face, but those precious source crystals had just flown away, and his heart was bleeding.

If you're playing solo, then you don't have these concerns at all.

Even a mosquito's leg, no matter how small, is still meat!

This damn, misplaced pride!

If you're soloing, forget about the final boss, since its strength is almost at the lord level. But if you grit your teeth and take down the first five bosses, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The others clearly shared the same idea, each appearing nonchalant and agreeing with the "high efficiency" of solo play, while secretly calculating their own gains.

Yi Jian Shuang Han adjusted his emotions, put on a warm face, and moved closer to Mo Fang.

"Mr. Mo Fang, we'll have to keep in touch from now on!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Mo Fang, just let me know if you need anything in the future!"

"Let's add each other as friends, bro! Let's keep in touch!"

Others chimed in, their enthusiasm bordering on excessive.

His little scheme was practically written all over his face.

They weren't trying to "connect" with Mo Fang; they were clearly impressed by his incredible predictive abilities.

The dungeon entrance was dynamically refreshed without any discernible pattern, and they searched for a long time without any clue.

But Mo Fang was able to accurately predict their movement trajectory, bringing them to the refresh location ahead of time.

This isn't a person! It's clearly a walking, humanoid copy detector!

With him, there's no need to worry about not finding the dungeon entrance.

Mo Fang looked at their enthusiastic faces, smiled, and then accepted their friend requests one by one.

He knew perfectly well what these people were up to, but he didn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll contact you anytime." Mo Fang nodded, agreeing.

"Then we'll head out first, Master Mo Fang," Yi Jian Shuang Han cupped his hands in greeting. "The entrance to this godforsaken place has vanished somewhere; we'll have to look for it again."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The others also prepared to scatter and begin a new round of searching.
