Online game: Mistakenly became a female character, started by slaughtering millions of chickens.

But... the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.

"Take a headcount." Lin Qingyue's voice remained calm, but the fingers gripping the scepter turned slightly white.

"President..."

Vice President Canglan walked over with a grim expression and said in a low voice, "In that wave of minotaur charge just now, besides the two off-tanks being instantly killed, several archers who were not careful in their positioning were also caught in the crossfire and died. Adding to the losses in the swamp earlier..."

"We had thirty people in the team, but now only twenty-three are left."

These words immediately caused a stir in the group.

"We've only gone less than halfway, and so many people have already died?"

"Yeah, that's a knight with full defense stats, he's gone in two hits. What about us squishy characters, we'd be dead the moment we get grazed?"

"There aren't many people in the front row anymore..."

"Is this really a dungeon we can clear at this stage? We're only Lv.6, while those monsters are Lv.9 or even Lv.10. The level difference is too severe."

"How about... we retreat? We can come back when we're a higher level?"

Despair and fear spread among the crowd.

The high-level dungeon has just been opened and we're already challenging it. It's already quite difficult, and with several front-line characters wiped out, are we going to have to rely on squishy characters to fight monsters head-on?

After all, not everyone is a monster like Su Yu. Faced with the fear of being instantly killed at any moment, even the psychological defenses of ordinary high-level players begin to waver.

Seeing the morale of the troops crumbling, Canglan gritted his teeth and roared:

"What discouraging talk!"

"We are [Qingge]! The number one guild in the entire server! If we back down because of this little difficulty, how will we ever establish ourselves in the Divine Realm?"

He pointed to the figure at the very front: "Look at Elder Su Yu! She's a berserker too, and a girl at that. Did she say anything? She's holding the line all by herself, and you bunch of grown men have the nerve to talk about retreating?"

Everyone glanced at Su Yu, who was calmly wiping his knife in front of them, blushed, and lowered their voices, but the worry in their eyes still did not disappear.

Lin Qingyue saw this and knew that simply giving someone pep talks wouldn't work.

She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and spoke softly:

"For all the brothers who died in this dungeon, the guild will compensate each of them with 10,000 real-world currency."

"The bonus for good performance will be doubled, and if someone gets the first clear, they will receive an extra 100,000."

Quiet.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

next second.

"roar--!!!"

The previously listless crowd suddenly became as if they had been injected with adrenaline, their eyes turning red.

"Long live the president!!"

"I didn't mean anything by it; I just wanted to test my weaknesses!"

"Kill! Anyone who tries to stop me from taking 100,000 yuan, I'll fight them!"

"A mere large-scale dungeon? My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

Watching the team's morale surge instantly, Su Yu's lips twitched.

"Tsk, the power of money..."

He touched his pocket and suddenly felt more at ease receiving that five million monthly salary.

"..."

The procession continued forward.

Soon the group arrived at a narrow jungle path, with dense bushes on both sides and the canopy of trees overhead almost completely blocking out the sky.

There seemed to be a slightly burnt smell in the air, and occasionally a faint electrical hum could be heard.

"Sizzle..."

"Watch out, there's movement." The Dragon King emerged from his stealth and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

Just then.

Click!

I don't know who stepped on the dead branch.

Suddenly, a blinding silver light shone from the depths of the originally dim path.

"Gigi-Gaga!!!"

A sharp, piercing laugh rang out.

Hanging upside down on the vines in mid-air was a small, silver-white goblin.

He brandished a crescent-shaped club crackling with lightning, his eyes rolled back, and his body was wrapped in crackling arcs of electricity.

Hidden Elite: Lightning Goblin (Lv.10)

"It's a rare monster!" Canglan exclaimed with delight. "This kind of monster has a very high drop rate!"

However, before he could finish celebrating...

Lightning Goblin swung his crescent-shaped club fiercely.

boom!

A thick chain of lightning didn't strike Su Yu or the fat man who were closest. Instead, as if it had eyes, it skipped over the front row and shot towards the back of the group at an astonishing speed!

Its target is—Lin Qingyue and the wet nurse group!

"Oh no! It's a chain lightning strike!"

Lin Qingyue reacted extremely quickly, instantly creating a light blue [magic shield].

Snapped!

Lightning struck the shield, instantly cracking the magic shield and causing Lin Qingyue's health bar to drop slightly.

But the priests and fragile mages standing next to her weren't so lucky.

The current shot out along Lin Qingyue's shield, instantly connecting five or six people in the back row!

-600!

-580!

-620!

"ah!!"

Screams rang out as several priests became paralyzed and unable to move, their health instantly dropping to zero.

"Damn it! It's an intelligent monster; it knows to target the healer first!" Canglan roared anxiously, "Quick! Take that monkey down from a distance!"

However, due to the paralyzing effect of the lightning, the back row was thrown into chaos and unable to mount an effective counterattack.

The Lightning Goblin clearly wasn't going to give them a chance to catch their breath.

He raised the crescent-shaped staff high once more, and an even more terrifying ball of lightning was gathering.

If that shot lands, the back row will be wiped out!

"It's too late!"

Su Yu, standing at the very front, was a full thirty meters away from the upside-down goblin.

At this distance, even if he ran at full speed, the lightning ball would have already struck.

"Dare to touch my boss?"

Su Yu's eyes turned cold.

That's the person who pays salaries. If he dies and goes back to his hometown, who will pay his bonus?

At that critical moment.

Su Yu made a move that left everyone speechless.

Instead of charging, he abruptly stopped, gripped his long katana tightly in his right hand, leaned back, and assumed a standard javelin-throwing stance.

All the strength in his body instantly gathered in his arms.

"Get down here!"

Whoosh—!

The long katana flew out of his hand, transforming into a fierce, blood-red streak of light that tore through the air, producing a sonic boom-like sound!

too fast!

It was so fast that even the lightning goblin didn't have time to react.

puff!

The sharp blade pierced the goblin's forehead with precision, and the immense kinetic energy propelled its body directly off the vines, where it slammed into an ancient tree behind it!

-1500! (Weakness Critical Hit!)

The swirling ball of lightning vanished instantly.

"Gaaaaa?!"

The Lightning Goblin was pinned to the tree, its limbs twitching wildly as it let out an unbelievable scream.

"Still not dead?"

Seeing this, Su Yu flexed his wrists, a hint of violence flashing in his eyes.

Since the knife has already been thrown...

Then let's use our fists.

Rage, go all out!

boom!

The ground beneath Su Yu's feet instantly shattered, and he shot out like a cannonball.

In a berserk state, a distance of thirty meters can be covered in the blink of an eye.

He rushed to the goblin nailed to the tree, and instead of drawing his sword, he raised his pale fist, which contained terrifying power.

"You like flirting, don't you?"

boom!

He punched the goblin in the face.

-450!

"You like cutting into the back row, huh?"

boom!

The second punch.

-480!

"You almost got my bonus docked, you know?!"

boom! boom! boom!

Su Yu was like a human pile driver, his fists turning into afterimages as he frantically pounded on the Lightning Goblin's thin body.

The poor rare elite monster was pinned to the tree and unable to move, unable to even use its skills, and was brutally smashed into a pulp by these storm-like fists.

Half a minute later.

[System Notification: You have defeated the hidden elite "Lightning Goblin" and gained 600 experience points!]

Su Yu was slightly taken aback. Elite monsters give extra experience?

Overjoyed, he stopped what he was doing and let out a long sigh of relief.

He reached out and pulled the katana that was nailed to the tree trunk, then wiped the blood off the goblin's tattered clothes.

Everyone swallowed hard, looking at the ancient tree that had been dented, and then at Su Yu's slender hands, and they all shivered.

This is... a silly beauty?

This guy is a violent maniac!

Lin Qingyue snapped out of her shock and quickly stepped forward.

Beside the goblin's corpse, a book emitting a purple glow lay quietly.

She bent down to pick it up, and her beautiful eyes instantly lit up.

[Skill Book: Lightning Bolt (Rare)]

[Description: Consumes 100 mana to summon a powerful lightning bolt to attack the target, with a chance to paralyze the target. Cooldown: 7 seconds. (Mage only)]

"It's a lightning-type skill book!"

Lin Qingyue was overjoyed.

Lightning magic is the branch of mages with the highest burst damage and strongest control, but skill books for this branch are extremely difficult to obtain.

With this, her damage output will be elevated to a whole new level!

She looked up at Su Yu, her gaze filled with gratitude and... a more determined intention to recruit him.

That throw not only saved her, but also the entire team.

"Su Yu".

Lin Qingyue said softly, her tone gentle:

"After this dungeon runs, your prize money... I'll double it too."

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot all about his violent demeanor from before, nodding obediently:

"Thank you, boss! You're so generous!"
