My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Chapter 462 313: Team Wipe? Looking for a Way to Extend Time!_2

"If there's no other way, then we'll just have to focus on Lin'an City. I'm rather curious about the Patriarch of the Xu Family, how exactly he managed to come out alive from there. Additionally, the existence of Lin'an City and the other Underground Cities could prove key in enhancing our power. Each of these places has its own uniqueness, like the Water of Life from the Elf Forest. What if we find something in the other Underground Cities that could change our constitution, or even our bloodline? For now, there's no need to rush into the Mysterious Realm; let's first deal with our own issues. Firstly, the methods of change from the House of Evolution might require a significant number of Beast Race players and Demon Race players to act as test subjects. Secondly, the Stinky Tofu made by the Dung Beetle must be tested for effectiveness. The third point is the situation in Lin'an City and the Underground Cities. Let the Life Players make contact with Lin'an City first; it's best if players from the Celestial Realm go. As for the other Underground Cities, everyone will need to lead teams there. After all, there are quite a few of them here, and handling them separately could speed up progress."

After listening to what Neighbor Six had to say, everyone turned their attention to Chaotic Dance Steps. These two were known as the Military Advisor and Tactical Master among the players. Having them discuss and make decisions could save the other players a lot of time. Chaotic Dance Steps' idea was quite similar to Neighbor Six's, but she had only considered the House of Evolution and the Dung Beetle. She had actually overlooked the situation in Lin'an City.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded and said, "Alright, let's do as you suggest and temporarily give up exploring the Mysterious Realm."

They had already experienced a Team Wipe once; continuing to explore would be fruitless. For players, it was better to be direct than to continue an aimless exploration. Giving up on exploration wasn't embarrassing.

Immediately, everyone began to act, preparing for a second exploration. Indeed, giving up the exploration of the Mysterious Realm for now didn't mean they were completely abandoning it; this was merely the preparation stage for their next attempt.

As everyone left through the Teleportation Array, Rat Tail Juice and his three companions remained in the palace, not following the others.

Master Pang pondered, "Rat, what do we do now? Explore the other Underground Cities?"

"Of course, we explore. We're all from the Human Race; we don't have the advantage," Pillar of Heaven sighed.

They had initially thought that with so many people in the Fifth Test, plus the number of Veteran Players, the Human Race would have an advantage in some aspects. Now, what they had perceived as an advantage didn't seem like much of one at all. This version was quite unfriendly to the Human Race.

The Elf Queen stood next to You're Burning and asked in a low voice, "Did you really go to the Mysterious Realm?"

You're Burning nodded. "Yep, we went, but we all failed."

"Failed?" Shock deepened in the Elf Queen's eyes. Throughout history, countless powerful beings had set foot in the Mysterious Realm, but only the Patriarch of the Xu Family, not long ago, had returned alive. Now, You're Burning and tens of thousands of others had set off, and all had returned alive. If word of this got out, it would surely stun many people.

"You'd better not get curious. We had a way to come back alive, but it wouldn't work for you," You're Burning spoke gravely. "If you were to go, it would just be a dead end. Not everyone has the luck of the Xu Family Patriarch."

Speaking of luck, Rat Tail Juice's eyes narrowed slightly. Isn't there someone among the players with the "Great Fortune" Talent? This time, he didn't seem to have gone. If he had, would he have been cursed too? Considering the game's situation, Abbess, Don't Love Me's luck is almost at a Bug Level. If she entered the Mysterious Realm, who could guarantee she wouldn't have been the only player to survive? After all, Talents were an advantage exclusive to players from the First and Second Tests. But the only noteworthy Talents seemed to be Abbess, Don't Love Me's "Great Fortune" and Old Mo's "Beauty's Curse." Most other Talents had been squandered by the players.

"We still have advantages, so there's no rush to explore places like the Underground Cities," Rat Tail Juice explained. "We're in a relatively advantageous position regarding the situation in Lin'an City. We might as well make contact with the Xu Family Patriarch first."

"But what about our constitution? We..." Master Pang started to get anxious. They, the Fifth Test Newbie Players, had no advantages in terms of constitution and bloodline. So, if they wanted to gain constitution and bloodline, they could only look to the Veteran Players. They hoped the Dung Beetle would succeed in creating the Stinky Tofu sought after by players.

"No need to rush for constitution; the House of Evolution and the Dung Beetle will be responsible for that." Rat Tail Juice shook his head. "Our target is Lin'an City. Let's resolve the situation there first, figure out what's going on, and then it won't be too late to make a decision."

The adventurers in Lin'an City were indeed worthy of attention. Their power might not be significant, but some of them could acquire powerful Professions. This was of some concern to the players.

"Galo, do you know the situation of the Human Race in Lin'an City? Like, how do they get their Professions?" You're Burning turned his head to ask.

The others also looked over. Their advantage here was the Elf Queen. Questioning her could save them many detours.

Galo hesitated for a moment, then said, "The Human Race in Lin'an City are born with the Adventurer's Mark. Upon reaching adulthood, they can receive the favor of the Adventure God and acquire various Professions. These include an abundance of roles like paladins and undead swordsmen."

Adventure God?!

Rat Tail Juice and the others exchanged glances. Since the start of the Fifth Test, they had become very cautious about anything related to gods. Whether it was the Ancient God of the mountain range belonging to the Profound Yellow Sect, the Ancient God in the Mysterious Realm, or this Adventure God here, anything related to the word 'god' immediately put players on high alert. Perhaps it was because of the Ancient Gods, or perhaps it was due to the indigenous Non-player Characters of the Cave.

"An Ancient God?" Pillar of Heaven raised his eyebrows slightly.

Rat Tail Juice nodded. "Ten to one it's an Ancient God, but different from the one worshipped in the caves. One was 'farming' them, the other was protecting them."

Indeed. The Ancient God worshipped in the caves was, to put it bluntly, 'farming' the people there, forcing them to eke out a meager existence. It was called Peach Blossom Spring, but it was a dark version of it. This place was different, though. This so-called Adventure God seemed to be protecting the Human Race here, providing them with a way to attain great power. The Occupation Mark. That was the method left by the Adventure God. But the existence of the Underground Cities made the situation somewhat unclear. The two sides seemed to be in opposition, yet there was also a sense of them complementing each other.

"Galo, do you know the situation with the Patriarch of the Xu Family?" Rat Tail Juice continued to ask.

"I know a bit. The Patriarch of the Xu Family is considered one of the strongest in Lin'an City. I heard he received a god's favor, but I'm not very clear on the specifics," Galo said. She then mused, "If he truly returned alive from the Mysterious Realm, I suspect it's connected to this divine favor. However, if you want to know more specifics, you'll have to go to Lin'an City and ask in person."

Lin'an City! Master Pang had visited once before and had even gone to the Xu Family specifically to ask the Patriarch about the Mysterious Realm. Perhaps this time, the four of them really needed to go there in person.

"Master Pang, contact Little Fish—we're going to Lin'an City to take a look!" Rat Tail Juice turned and walked towards the palace exit. "I'll contact Neighbor Six," he announced. "We'll handle the situation in Lin'an City. Let them focus on matters of constitution and bloodline."

"Got it!" Master Pang chuckled and happily picked up the Communication Ring to contact Little Fish. Before leaving, he had specifically given Little Fish a Communication Ring. Now, among players, Communication Rings were quite worthless, so giving one to Little Fish was no issue. After all, wasn't Little Fish a pretty Glasses Girl?

Seeing them getting ready to go, You're Burning hurriedly warned, "Don't leave the Elf Forest for the time being, and don't be curious about the other side of the Teleportation Array. The danger level there is only slightly less than that of the Mysterious Realm."
