Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

The entrance to the secret passage was too close to the enemy's main camp, and Feng Gu was worried that his presence would be discovered, leading to his defeat and death.

It's better to hide it inside a dungeon.

Although hiding there is uncertain about the future, at least it is safe "for now".

“If it weren’t for you, I would never have dared to act rashly, and I wouldn’t have escaped alive. Even when I plotted to kill Marvin, I only dared to make my move at the very last moment… You possess healing skills, which makes you a rare talent, but in my opinion—your true strength lies in your decisiveness. That’s a talent I don’t have.”

Feng Gu looked at Zuo Chang once again.

She added, "Join the Romantic World. You'll lead me."

Zuo Chang remained silent, truly feeling the sincerity of Feng Gu's integrity.

That being the case...

He spoke calmly, "Since you've put it this way, I won't play games with you anymore. I won't join your adventurer's group; to be precise, I won't join any adventurer's group."

Feng Gu was taken aback, not expecting Zuo Chang to refuse so decisively!

She walked away, no longer trying to linger: "This is the first time I've been so clearly rejected. You don't want to join any adventurer's group, so are you going to create your own?"

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "I either do nothing, or I..."

Either become a general, who wants to be a regimental commander?

Feng Gu asked, "Or what?"

Zuo Chang smiled without saying a word: "You'll find out."

Chapter 81 Here it comes!

"Mayumi, aren't you going to eat? Everyone else is going."

"I'm so angry I'm full!"

Sky City, Level 1 Outpost.

At the temporary headquarters of the Deer in the early morning, Lu Zheng knocked on Zhen Gong's door and invited her to dinner again.

be rejected.

Lu Zheng was somewhat helpless. He touched his nose and said, "Calm down... Little Rabbit's words were indeed a bit harsh, but she didn't mean any harm. We're all in the same regiment, we'll run into each other all the time... You're a magnanimous person, just bear with it."

Mayumi's blood pressure spiked immediately!

She was trembling with rage, unable to contain her anger any longer, and shouted, "I'm magnanimous, but is she? Lu Zheng, I'm warning you, you better watch what Bunny Girl says behind my back! Don't think I don't know what she's saying about me!"

"Calm down, calm down..."

Feeling guilty, Lu Zheng quickly turned around to look.

There was no one around.

He was quite sincere, and continued, "What Little Rabbit said was indeed excessive... but there was a reason for it. You know, she's already very close to the Fifth Realm. Originally, the group had three special privileges, which should have been enough, but now..."

Mayumi was even more furious. She grinned, revealing her teeth, her expression chillingly cold: "Were you there when I gave Zuo Chang special privileges in the car? You didn't object then, and now you're checking my accounts?"

Lu Zheng was speechless, not knowing what to say.

Mayumi is absolutely right.

then……

"Ugh!"

Lu Zheng was at his wit's end, thinking to himself, "If only I had objected back then! I was so focused on recruiting Zuo Chang that I forgot Little Rabbit was about to reach the fifth realm!"

"Brother Deer, please stop arguing with Sister Mayumi."

An affected, pretentious voice echoed through the corridor.

Mayumi felt nauseous and vomited as soon as she heard the voice. She got goosebumps all over and instinctively wanted to close the door and go back to her room. She didn't want to see her at all.

Bunny Girl!

The bunny girl is wearing a hoodie with bunny ears and has light, delicate makeup on her face.

She walked over with the other two and said, "Sister Mayumi, you've misunderstood me. I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with that Zuo Chang. Zuo Chang broke his promise, he took our group's privileges but didn't keep his word... Brother Lu, that Zuo Chang did promise to help us conquer Sky City, right?"

Lu Zheng said, "Yes. But... he didn't leave any contact information, so he probably doesn't know we've set off!"

"Oh dear. Yaotai Zhen Gong, didn't you get Zuo Chang's contact information?"

A effeminate man with a sword on his arm looked surprised, as if he was hearing about this for the first time.

He frowned and criticized, "How can you do this! You gave someone special privileges, but didn't even ask for their contact information? Isn't that a bit too generous!"

"Humph……"

Another blonde woman, dressed in armor and a knight's attire, gave a cold snort and looked at Mamiya with a mocking expression.

She spoke slowly, saying, "I heard that Miss Mayumi invited that Zuo Chang back to her home... Miss Mayumi, could it be that Zuo Chang was too strong and made you so infatuated that you couldn't remember anything?"

Mayumi sneered: "Why don't you make your point even clearer!"

The blond knight, unfazed, immediately retorted, "What are you pretending to be, innocent girl! Do you really think you're superior? I said you're lining your own pockets, using our guild's privileges to support men, so what?"

"Stop arguing!"

It wasn't Lu Zheng who offered advice.

It's a bunny girl.

She stood between Mayumi and the blonde knight, pretending to mediate, and said, "Mayumi-nee, Rena-nee, we are comrades in the same regiment, don't quarrel over trivial matters. I believe Mayumi-nee, she must have been trying to recruit talented people when she gave up her privileges... If anyone is to blame, it's Zuo Chang for breaking his promise."

The true bow longs to whistle.

He raised his head and let out a long howl.

Otherwise, if you keep feeling frustrated and pent up inside, it can really cause health problems!

The bunny girl started the trouble, and the bunny girl calmed it down. This person really treats Deer Morning as a stage, doing whatever comes to mind, playing both the bad guy and the good guy.

What left Mayumi speechless was Shikasei's gaze.

Lu Zheng looked at Zhen Gong with a tactful expression.

That means something like:

"Look how reasonable the bunny girl is, why don't you stop making a fuss?"

Mayumi took a deep breath; never before had she wanted to leave this adventure group more than she did now.

She joined the Deer Morning with a purpose in mind.

Just as she told Zuo Chang, she believed that staying in Lu Zheng's group would be beneficial to her future development.

She certainly didn't see this as her life's ambition; if it made her unhappy, she would leave.

Given the current situation...

It was absolutely impossible for her to swallow her anger and silently drink everything just to survive in the Deer Morning.

She wouldn't allow herself to follow suit, to flirt like a bunny girl, with her pride forbidding it.

Mayumi looked at the bunny girl with a hidden smile and thought to herself, "Am I just going to leave like this? Ah, of course I'm not reluctant to leave Deer Morning, but if I flee in such a sorry state, wouldn't that just be playing into that bitch's hands? I can't be the one who's in a sorry state... Even if I have to leave, I'll crush everything with my high heels and leave in style!"

but……

How can one achieve glory?

"Who broke their promise? What happened?"

Just then, a voice rang out from the doorway.

Listen to the timbre...

It seems to be Zuo Chang?

"Click."

The door was opened, and two people walked in.

The leader, with black hair and black eyes, held a magnificent magical longsword in his hand. Who else could it be but Zuo Chang?

Zuo Chang met the gazes of Zhen Gong and the others and asked, "Who was shouting just now, saying that I, Zuo Chang, am not keeping my word? Zhen Gong, was it you?"

With a "ha," Mayumi felt the tightness in her chest dissipate inexplicably.

She smiled and said, "It wasn't me who said it, but you really broke your promise! Zuo Chang, you promised to run dungeons with us! Where are you?"

"Didn't I already come? Sky City is appearing for the first time in 96511. It's an introductory instance, so in order to better serve you, I had to come in beforehand to familiarize myself with it, right?"

Zuo Chang walked over with a smile.

He walked past the bunny girl without looking away and stood in front of Lu Zheng: "Commander Lu, did I come at the wrong time? What... are you arguing about?"

"...You've come at just the right time!"

Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He said, "We didn't have any argument, it was just normal communication within the group... Mr. Zuo is here to keep an appointment?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "Of course. I've already done a quick exploration of the dungeon, and if all goes well, I can help you defeat the first-floor boss, the Headhunter Spider!"

“That’s great!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng was overjoyed and patted Zuo Chang's shoulder forcefully.

minutes ago.

Zuo Chang and Feng Gu left the underground drainage system unharmed.

Zuo Chang was worried that he would be questioned by the guards if he entered or exited through the original entrance, so he took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain and came out through another entrance.

That person wasn't too far from the Heavenly King's stronghold, and they didn't encounter any enemies on their way there.

Once on the ground, Feng Gu sighed softly, feeling the utter chaos of the situation. He couldn't help but lament, "Thieves are indeed guilty. Zuo Chang, what do we do now? Two of Lord Qian's generals, Ma Wen and Ma Wu, are dead in our hands, and Ma Wu... looks like he's in grave danger too! If I go back to Tianwang City now, is there any way I can survive?"

Zuo Chang laughed and said, "Don't worry. Qian Wuyi is overwhelmed with problems and probably won't be able to take care of us two little cats. But just in case, I suggest you stay in the instance for now."

"??"

Feng Gu didn't know why Zuo Chang said that.
