A flash of light appeared from the eerie blue portal, and three figures tumbled out of it somewhat hastily.
"Phew, it's finally over."
Yuan Qing wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a long sigh of relief.
The cool midnight breeze swept over us, dispelling the nauseating musty and bloody smell of the underground city.
Although the Moon Etching didn't taste much better, it was still better than the oppressive atmosphere of the dungeon.
Upon exiting the underground city, Toriumi Riki, who had been anxious just moments before, instantly transformed into a smug little brat.
She jumped in front of the two of them, put her hands on her hips, and said with an air of smugness:
"How about that? I told you I'd carry you guys! I took down both bosses. What do you think? Haters, you decide!"
"Wow, awesome! I'll give you a round of applause."
"Yes, yes, as expected of Lord Yao Li."
Yuan Qing and Dan Zhu clapped weakly.
Despite the perfunctory manner, Toriumi Ritsuki's vanity was still greatly satisfied.
Ah, this feels so good!!
The feeling of successfully showing off, which I never expected, is much more satisfying than a normal success!
See that? Grade C?
Whoever makes a casual move can ruin someone's entire life?
say!
Who is the MVP?
say!
If Gensei knew what Toriumi Riki was thinking at this moment, he would definitely give her the middle finger.
However, she really did look pretty good.
Not only did she kill both bosses, but she also helped purify the illusionary pollution caused by the Rat King's dying counterattack.
Even if C's performance was ugly, it was still C, so giving her the MVP this game is perfectly justified.
"Oh right, I also need to hand over the 'body camera' to Shuiyuan. I'll do it now..."
Toriumi Riki remembered this incident and said that he was about to use the Echo Stone to contact the Water Kite.
But just then, Danzhu suddenly shouted at her, "Wait, don't hand it over yet!"
Damn it, I forgot, the Echoing Stone has a video recording of the walkthrough process.
If I hand it in, wouldn't everyone else know that Yuan Qing hugged me for so long?
The other two were taken aback by her shout.
Especially Toriumi Riki, who tilted her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Didn't Mizuki want us to hand over the 'law enforcement video'?"
I'm eagerly waiting to upload it so they can all see Lord Yao Li's heroic feat of instantly defeating the BOSS.
"..."
Realizing her lapse in composure, Danzhu quickly tried to cover it up: "Uh, I, I meant..."
Ok?
and many more!
Why should I hide it?
They should release the hugging video widely, letting all the other girls in the association know that Yuanqing is already "taken," thus reducing potential competitors!
To declare the Empress's status!
Thinking about it, Danzhu quickly cleared her throat and said, "I'm sorry, I meant to say that this is the captain's job, but I would be very grateful if Lord Yaoli would be willing to do it for me."
"Oh, what am I saying? It's nothing~"
Toriumi Riki was extremely pleased to be addressed as "Lord Yao Li".
She hummed a little tune, walked to the side, and began to contact Shui Yuan.
After hesitating for a moment, Danzhu cautiously approached Yuanqing and thanked him.
"Thank you so much for just now."
Yuan Qing smiled and replied, "What's there to thank me for? It's what I should do. But you, are you alright? That thing's mental attacks are quite strange, especially its illusions. I even fell for one."
Danzhu lowered his head, looking uneasy. "I'm sorry, I'm a little... I'm not really afraid of ordinary rats, and I've killed quite a few shadow beasts that look like rats before, but this one..."
"It's alright. That stinky rat probably created the illusion by exploiting people's greatest fears. Luckily, we brought a support character with purification abilities."
"I really should thank her. I never expected that unreliable guy would play such a crucial role this time."
As Yuan Qing spoke, he turned his gaze to the beautiful, silly girl not far away who was gesturing wildly and looking excited while talking to Shui Yuan.
Danzhu hesitated for a moment, then resumed his gentle and refined smile:
"Anyway, I owe you one. I still haven't treated you to a meal. How about we find some time this week?"
Yuan Qing was about to agree, but then he suddenly remembered that he still owed the chairman 200 million...
"Uh, let's talk about it later, we have our exams soon..."
Ok?
Oh right! The exam is next week!
Danzhu then realized what was happening and quickly hid her disappointment, saying, "Ah, I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."
"It's okay, there's still plenty of time, and there will be many more opportunities in the future. We can do it after the exam."
"okay."
Danzhu nodded with spring-like eyes and a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"It's getting late, let's go."
"Ah."
The two walked side by side, with Danzhu following Yuanqing at a leisurely pace, enjoying the cool breeze.
She would occasionally steal glances at Yuan Qing's profile from the corner of her eye.
Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, it's still so cute.
"Ah Qing, thank you for always protecting me."
"And I will always love you."
"Forever and ever."

Volume 1: Chapter 91 Job Change Quest, Class: King! 7.5K
Back at the association, Yuan Qing said goodbye to the two of them one by one, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's finally done.
There's still some time before the lunar etching ends, so I need to go to the Tower of Delusion again.
I finally managed to clear the second level yesterday, so I have to see what's next.
Hopefully, they won't throw in another level 45 boss right after that.
You have to give me some room to level up, right?
At my current level, it's impossible to gain experience by killing slimes. Putting aside the level penalty, even with experience blessing, killing one slime only gives 200 experience.
He needs to kill 300 to level up, and it gets harder to level up as you progress.
Even if he patiently grinds, where would he get so many souls to exchange for experience and blessings?
Currently, exchanging an experience blessing with a Libra woman costs at least 3000 souls, and the effect only lasts for ten minutes.
So if he were the designer, he should at least add a few more layers of experience points and perks behind the Goblin King.
The young president has other things to do today, so there's no need for me to go to the observatory to find her.
Yuan Qing arrived at the private rest room provided by the association for its members, opened the system, and used "Death's Invitation".
As he stepped through the portal, his vision returned, and the familiar circular lobby appeared before him.
The bonfire at the Spiral Sword continued to burn, and the Libra woman in a black robe stood silently by the fire like a shadow.
He took out the Dark Blade, quickly cleared the slimes on the first floor, and went to the second floor.
The Goblin King no longer exists.
There weren't even any basic monsters on the second floor; even the weak goblin that was used as a stepping stone at the beginning hadn't respawned.
It seems that the second floor will remain unchanged from now on and will no longer spawn monsters.
Then, the third layer...
Yuan Qing stared at the spiral staircase leading upwards, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
What exactly is up there?
He took a deep breath, gripped the hilt of his sword, and stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor.
Passing through an invisible barrier, the scene before me hadn't changed much.
It was still the same oppressive and enormous circular stone hall of the Tower of Delusion.
The only difference is the enemy entrenched on this floor.
The air was thick with the smell of decaying earth, and pale green phosphorescent flames drifted around the empty hall, emitting a ghostly glow.
"Gah!"
A piercing scream rang out!
Several translucent, smoky, twisted ghosts slowly drifted out from the shadows.
They had no physical form, only vague human-shaped outlines, with eye sockets burning with eerie green flames like two candles.
【Lv.25·Remnant Soul of Resentment】
【HP: 1500/1500】
【MP: 500/500】
【Characteristic: Physical immunity】
Ghost-type monsters, immune to physical attacks?
That's not a big problem. Anyway, his Dark Blade attacks are accompanied by flames, which already have a certain amount of magical damage, not to mention skills like sword aura.
But, it shouldn't be a scam, right?
With a tentative mindset, Yuan Qing unleashed several sword energies from a distance.
"Pfft, pfft!"
The sword energy swept past several ghosts, and the black flames immediately blazed up as if they were stuck to them.
The massive damage instantly sliced them apart; the ghosts twisted and dissipated under the scorching heat of the sword energy and flames.
[Experience value +500]
[Gained Souls: 22]
[Gold Coins Earned: 87]
[Experience value +650]
[Obtained 3 Resentment Powder]
......
Sold out in seconds! Incredible efficiency!
If Yuan Qing hadn't seen the system prompt indicating experience gain, he would have definitely suspected that these guys weren't quite dead.
