My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Chapter 456 310: Team Up, Team Up, the Brand New Dungeon is Ready!_2

Every time a new version starts, the New Players are always the most unconventional bunch. This time, no new Halls were opened. That means Fifth Test Players either had to join a Hall of Veteran Players or form their own teams to participate. This Fifth Test was a complete shakeup and rearrangement, marking a brand-new start for everyone.

Neighbor Six explained, "The Fifth Test Players have already started forming teams. It's mainly those led by Hugging Chang'e and Roasting Jade Rabbit. It looks like they have no plans of joining the Halls of the Veteran Players."

"With their power, going to the Mysterious Realm is akin to seeking death."

Poisonous Panda pondered, "Their advantage lies entirely in numbers, but Resurrection requires a lot of Contribution Points. How many can they possibly afford to spend?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

After realizing the importance of Contribution Points, Veteran Players no longer had any intention of making further moves. Even the Three Great Merchants had stopped selling Contribution Points. Only some cash-strapped Veteran Players were secretly selling them on the side. However, for the vast group of Fifth Test Players, the Contribution Points offered by these Veterans were far too scarce. It was nowhere near enough to solve their pressing problems. So, the advantage still lay with the Veteran Players.

"Hugging Chang'e and Roasting Jade Rabbit do have quite a few Contribution Points. After all, Antarctic bought some bizarre Items from them."

Neighbor Six said gravely, "We need to keep an eye on this small group, and also Rat Tail Juice and his quartet. They are the faces of the Fifth Test Players. Coupled with the support from the Elf Queen, they are not to be underestimated."

Indeed. For ordinary players, they wouldn't be a concern. But Rat Tail Juice and his group had uncovered the secrets of the Mysterious Realm and had even gained the territory of the Elf Forest. Their development was bound to far exceed others.

Junlin mused, "Let's test the waters first. Old Six, you and Sister Zhou continue interacting with the NPCs in the Cave. Old Mo, Panda, Wutong, and I will take a trip. If the Dungeon is simple, we'll all make a move together."

"Alright!" Neighbor Six nodded as well.

Lingxiao Hall didn't have many members, so they didn't always have the upper hand in certain situations. If this Dungeon proved too challenging, they could choose to abandon it. They weren't about to waste a considerable amount of Contribution Points for a Hidden Task. They wouldn't engage in something that wasn't worth the cost.

「Profound Yellow Sect's Back Mountain.」

This place had been completely overtaken by Players, serving as a primary spot for their private transactions and gatherings on normal days. Now, with Antarctic setting off, new and Veteran Players alike had mostly gathered here.

"Forming teams, forming teams! Veteran Players from the Top 100 of the Combat Power List leading! Need a few tank-build bros, Contribution Points shared evenly!"

"Sprayer leading the team! Just need 'rabbits,' no need for you to act—just come watch the excitement!"

"It's all Veteran Players forming teams. Can't us Fifth Test Players stand up for ourselves? Wouldn't it be great to form a few more teams and set out together?"

"Chang'e's ten-man squad is already full. If you're willing to spend Contribution Points, I'll join your team!"

"Why should I pay? I don't have that many Contribution Points either!"

"Well, there you go. If you don't have Contribution Points, why should we let you join our team? What's the difference between your current power and a freeloader?"

"..."

The entire valley echoed with the shouts of Players. The clamor of team formation was everywhere, as everyone evidently didn't want to miss this exploration of the Mysterious Realm.

News about a Hidden Task had also reached the ears of New Players through numerous rumors. The Mysterious Realm was the name of the current version, and now that such a Dungeon had appeared, there was surely a Hidden Task involved—Players naturally didn't want to miss out.

But forming teams became an issue. Players with ample Contribution Points had better chances of survival. However, those with fewer Contribution Points were worried. Who knew how many times they would die in this Dungeon? If they got nothing in return and lost a bunch of Contribution Points, it would be a huge loss.

Thus, they were trapped in a cycle: wanting to explore the new Dungeon but not wanting to spend their Contribution Points. Veteran Players might compensate with some Contribution Points, but they were reluctant to team up with New Players.

King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang only wanted 'rabbits.' The New Players wouldn't share in the ultimate profits. Essentially, they were just being brought along for the spectacle. And what was a 'rabbit'? It meant tagging along with a Lord and basically going AFK. While the Lords fought intensely, all a 'rabbit' had to do was follow.

Among the New Players, not everyone was as rich as Hugging Chang'e and Roasting Jade Rabbit and their crew. They had earned a good number of Contribution Points from Antarctic. So, as time went on, more and more people gathered, but fewer and fewer New Players were willing to form teams voluntarily.

After receiving the location from Rat Tail Juice, Antarctic immediately set up a Teleportation Array in the valley and then headed straight for Lin'an City.

Without any surprises, after entering the protective array, he saw Pillar of Heaven waiting outside.

"Brother South Pole!" Pillar of Heaven came forward to greet him. "Rat and the others are already waiting in the Elf Forest. We can just use the Elf Forest as a base."

"Alright!" After glancing at Lin'an City, Antarctic followed Pillar of Heaven to the Elf Forest.

Rat Tail Juice and the others had been waiting for a while, all inside the Elf Palace. After all, You're Burning had subjugated the Elf Queen. Now, the entire Elf Forest had become their backyard, and this palace was perfect as their meeting point.

The Elf Queen was always curious about the identities of Rat Tail Juice and his companions. Now, hearing that more people were coming, and quite a few by the sound of it, her curiosity piqued.

Could there be many such supreme beings like Rat Tail Juice and his crew?

About half an hour later, Pillar of Heaven brought Antarctic to the Elf Palace. Rat Tail Juice and his companions all stood up and greeted him with smiles. There was no helping it, since Antarctic was now a big spender.

"Brother South Pole!"

"Sorry, we're a bit strapped for cash, so we have to trouble you, Brother South Pole."

"I've already discussed the specifics during the live stream, so is there anything else you'd like to ask, Brother South Pole?" Rat Tail Juice and the other two crowded around Antarctic.

The Elf Queen observed Antarctic from behind, feeling a terrifying pressure that far exceeded that of Rat Tail Juice and his two companions.

This man is even more powerful than Rat Tail Juice and the others! Where in the Human Race did such a strong individual come from?

"I've brought the array disk for the Teleportation Array. Everyone knows the details, so let's set it up quickly and wait for the others to arrive," Antarctic smiled, taking out an array disk and looking towards Rat Tail Juice and company. After all, this place belonged to the four of them, and he still needed their input on where to set up the Teleportation Array.

Rat Tail Juice, Master Pang, and Pillar of Heaven all turned to look at You're Burning. Since the Elf Queen had been taken down, the location of the Teleportation Array was up to You're Burning to arrange.

You're Burning chuckled, "How about we set it up in the corner? I think Galo won't refuse, right?"

Galo! That was the name of the Elf Queen, a title passed down through generations. Every Elf Queen used this name. But this generation's Galo was the most unfortunate. She had been dominated and threatened by the Human Race, utterly powerless against them.

Hesitating, Galo asked, "What is this Teleportation Array you speak of?"

"It's a spatial passage, similar to the entrance that people on the surface use to enter the Underground City," You're Burning explained with a grin.

Hmm? So the Elf Forest is to be connected to a brand new entrance?

Although she didn't know where that entrance would lead, it was clear she had no way to refuse. At this moment, the hand of You're Burning—that dolt—had landed on her butt. If she didn't obey, the implied threat would materialize!

This jerk!

Galo glared at You're Burning, but as the Elf Queen, she said nothing more and could only nod in agreement.

Opening a new entrance inside the palace felt somewhat improper, but she was also curious to see what lay on the other side of that entrance.

"It's settled!" You're Burning chuckled. "Brother South Pole, we're relying on you now."

Antarctic placed the array disk in the corner and smiled, "This is really becoming the Underground City. It feels like all that's missing to make it complete is a Selia."
