Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Zuo Chang asked, "Should I go say hello?"

"No need. I'll introduce you to someone next time I have the chance."

"...That's fine."

Zhen Gong and Zuo Chang turned and left, while Lady Yaotai got into the carriage.

Through the rearview mirror, Madam Yaotai saw her daughter and a young man walking side by side into the interior.

She asked, "Who is the man next to Mayumi?"

The driver replied, "He's a friend of Miss Mayumi, I think his name is Sasho."

"What is the background of this Zuo Chang?"

"It's still unclear... Patriarch, should we investigate?"

Without hesitation, Madam Yaotai nodded and said, "Makoto has excellent taste. This is the first time she has brought someone home... I'll investigate. I'm very interested in this young man."

"Yes."

The driver nodded in agreement.

Friends, friends, don't rush. As the saying goes, a good story is like a mountain, not a flat plain. The plot is progressing steadily. The current situation isn't exciting enough yet; it hasn't reached the critical point where everything blossoms. Give me a little more room to expand, and this time, I, Ya, will make sure Zuo Chang doesn't return alive!

(A happy ending is standard in harem novels, so this is guaranteed to be free of plot holes and will definitely have a happy ending. You can rest assured about that.)

Furthermore… it’s crucial to read during the new book’s initial release period. This book just made it onto the recommendation list this week, and its future is uncertain. I, your humble servant, humbly request that you, esteemed readers, show your support and, despite your busy schedules, take the time to offer your corrections. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 43 Do you understand the value of dungeon logs?

There was no talking all night, and the next morning.

When Zuo Chang got up in the morning, he found that his clothes had been washed and ironed and were placed at the door.

Didn't Mayumi say she was going to burn it?

After changing their clothes and having breakfast, the two headed back to the train station, ready to run a quick dungeon.

Mayumi is ready for battle.

She was dressed in Wu clothing, with a feather shawl draped over her shoulders and a long sword at her waist. Before setting off, she also put on a demon mask to cover her beautiful and noble face.

Looking at her outfit, Zuo Chang couldn't help but ask, "Is this really necessary for an ancient battlefield? Anyone who didn't know better would think we were going to play a high-level dungeon."

Mayumi said very seriously, "This is an old custom of the Yaotai family. So what if it's an ancient battlefield? There's fighting on the ancient battlefield too, and this is how you dress up for fighting."

"...Doesn't that mask obstruct your vision?"

"this one?"

Mayumi touched her demon mask.

She chuckled and said, "I've told you before, my family was once down on its luck. The situation was terrible back then, and we could be hunted down the moment we showed our faces. So, I've been training to fight wearing a mask since I was a child, and I'm used to it now."

Zuo Chang still couldn't accept it easily: "You'll suffer if you encounter a strong opponent."

Mayumi turned to look at him: "I'll take off the mask when I encounter an opponent. It's not like it's on my face, I can take it off whenever I want."

"..."

Row.

During their conversation, the train arrived. Zuo Chang and Zhen Gong boarded one after the other and engaged in a bloody battle.

Easily.

During the final settlement, Mayumi counted the ancient crystals and was still somewhat surprised: "A total of one hundred and fifty... Zuo Chang, is this the limit?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "The limit I tested is 150."

Mayumi remained silent, then turned to check the dungeon's completion status.

Only 75%.

She said, "Your method can produce a lot of extra crystals, but the completion rate is very low."

Zuo Chang was not surprised: "Normal."

Dungeon rewards and dungeon completion are two different things.

In the case of the "Ancient Battlefield" series, the higher the completion rate, the lower the returns.

After the instance ends, the scene gradually collapses.

A slight jolt arose, and Zuo Chang's vision went black and then bright, and he found himself back in the train carriage.

The train pulled into the station, and the two got off.

Mayumi handed all the crystals to Zuo Chang and said, "There's one last time. The next train is ours."

Zuo Chang nodded and hung the cloth bag on his waist.

Mayumi glanced at him sideways and asked, "What are your plans after this is over?"

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "What plans could we possibly have? Let's rent a place first and slowly establish ourselves in Tianwang City."

"Yes……"

A slight loneliness settled in Mayumi's heart.

She looked at Zuo Chang's profile, wanting to interact with him more and understand him better.

but--

It cannot be done proactively.

Some things, if said by her, would make her seem cheap.

Mayumi was confident in her charm and hoped that Zuo Chang would be infatuated with her rather than infatuated with him.

That way...

She will be more at ease and happier.

She said, "Remember to let me know when you find a house. The Sky City strategy guide will be available soon, so don't go back on your word. We have an agreement."

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word."

Just as Mayumi was about to agree, a blinding golden light suddenly appeared in the clouds!

Immediately afterwards, the resounding cry of a phoenix and the deep roar of a dragon rose and fell, their echoes lingering long afterward.

"What the hell is that noise?!"

"Look! The sky is shining!"

On the platform, the crowd began to make noise.

Zuo Chang looked up, squinting at the sky. He saw a scroll slowly unfurling in the clouds, golden characters appearing one by one in a flowing, elegant style:

A new record has been set; how can we stand still?

This is……

what?

Mayumi remained relatively calm as she spoke, "A new dungeon record has been set. I wonder which dungeon it is."

Zuo Chang asked curiously, "The strange phenomena in the sky are caused by the new record?"

"You don't even know this?"

Mayumi gave Zuo Chang a strange look.

"Whenever scrolls and text appear in the sky, it means that a team has broken the dungeon record and seized the throne with a higher level of completion."

A scroll in the cloud, the text changes.

[Eagle Commander led his team to conquer the 'Sky Forging Canyon' dungeon, achieving a final completion rate of 97%, breaking the record.]

A new king reigns supreme. From this day forward, General Eagle has defeated Qian Wuyi and become the 'Record Holder of Sky Forging Canyon'!

"Sky Forging Canyon? That's the dungeon that produces 'Composite All-Purpose Steel'?"

"Sky Forging Canyon is a popular dungeon! This dungeon record has been stolen... Lord Qian is probably going to be furious!"

"Tsk tsk. Lord Qian is losing at least twenty points a day, a huge loss!"

Those on the platform are all adventurers, and they know their stuff.

Upon seeing that Tianduan Canyon had changed hands, they immediately knew something terrible had happened.

Zhen Gong remained calm and said, "In the Heavenly Forging Canyon dungeon, Lord Qian's completion rate is only 93%. This General Ying, I don't know who he is, suddenly increased it by 4%... I'm afraid Lord Qian won't be able to take it back for the time being."

97%?

The level of completion is just average.

Tianduan Canyon is a decent "material dungeon," and Zuo Chang has a deep affection for it, knowing exactly how to use the "100% success rate strategy."

However, the Sky Forging Canyon is quite complex, and to achieve 100% completion, at least two teams of six people are needed.

Currently, Zuo Chang only has Blood Rose as his follower, and she is not yet qualified to be conquered.

Beyond the mountains, more mountains rise; beyond the buildings, more buildings stand; among the strong, there are always those stronger!

The discussions sparked by the change of ownership of Tianduan Canyon had not yet subsided when the writing in the sky changed again.

Mayumi was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "There's more?!"

[Eagle Commander led his team to conquer the 'Frosty Forest' dungeon, achieving a final completion rate of 95%, breaking the record.]

A new king reigns over the old. From this day forward, General Eagle has defeated Qian Wuyi and become the 'Record Holder of the Frost Forest'!

Talented individuals emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years!

Lady Yaotai led her team to conquer the 'Unclaimed Land' dungeon, achieving 100% completion and breaking the record.

[A new king replaces the old. From this day forward, Lady Yaotai has defeated Qian Wuyi and become the 'record holder of unclaimed land'!]

Three new records in a row!

The last record, even 100% completion!

No one can surpass this data. In this small area of ​​96511, this record belongs to Lady Yaotai and cannot be touched by others.
