F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

From the very beginning of team formation, the most realistic and intense phase began.

The powerful are surrounded by a crowd of people, with smiles and flattery piled up like mountains.

Meanwhile, the students with ordinary professions and average talents huddled together in twos and threes, their eyes filled with anxiety about the future.

On the entire playground, only one person was there, creating a vacuum zone with a radius of ten meters.

Chen Yifan.

He was like a sculpture forgotten in a corner, ignored by everyone.

No, it's not even as good as a sculpture.

At least no one will be wary of a sculpture stealing your wallet.

"Hey, look at that Chen thief, nobody wants him yet."

"Nonsense, who would want that? Bringing a thief into a dungeon? Are you trying to do charity work in the dungeon because you have too much gear?"

"Exactly, he's useless in combat, but when it comes to looting, he's faster than anyone else. He's a complete liability to the team."

"I bet he'll end up going into the dungeon alone, then get one-shotted by a goblin, and his body won't even be found, hahaha!"

The whispers were undisguised, like countless tiny needles piercing that lonely corner.

Wang Pangzi stood next to Chen Yifan, his fat face turning a deep liver color, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"Fanzi, these bastards are fucking bullying me! I really can't take it anymore!"

Arguing with a bunch of dogs will lower your standards.

Chen Yifan pressed down on his slightly trembling shoulder, his expression as calm as an ancient well.

He had expected this outcome.

In fact, he quite enjoyed the result.

Being ignored by everyone is the best camouflage for a thief.

"But..." Fatty Wang was extremely anxious, "How are the two of us supposed to run a dungeon? I'm just a tank, I can't do any damage at all!"

Wang Pangzi's job advancement is to a C-level [Warrior] with a D-level [Tough Skin] talent. He's a pure tank, but his attack power is definitely a weakness.

"Who says we're not contributing?"

Chen Yifan spoke calmly.

Fatty Wang was stunned. He looked at Chen Yifan's excessively handsome face, opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his question.

For some reason, he felt that Fanzi today was completely different from before.

Deep within those eyes lay a confidence and... madness that even made his heart pound.

"Alright! Fanzi, I believe you!" Fatty Wang patted his chest and said in a booming voice, "If you say go east, I'll never go west! If you say fuck him, I won't even flinch!"

Just then.

Li Wei led his "elite team," composed entirely of professionals at level C or above.

They walked over swaggering over.

"Hey, isn't this Wang Da the Meat Shield?" Li Wei laughed exaggeratedly. "What, really planning to play the brotherhood card with this F-rank thief?"

"I advise you to think this through carefully. There's no future with a good-for-nothing. Forget about getting extra points on the college entrance exam; you might not even survive."

A D-rank Berserker named Zhao Hu beside him also joined in the commotion:

"Yeah, Fatty, come join our team. Wei-ge has already spoken; we need someone who can handle things. Follow us, and we guarantee you an A rating. Isn't that better than following some good-for-nothing?"

This is blatant poaching.

It's an even more humiliating act that kills someone and destroys their spirit.

Fatty Wang stiffened his neck and roared back without thinking:

"Fuck you! Who I team up with is none of your business, you bunch of sons of bitches!"

"In my life, Wang Fugui only recognizes Chen Yifan as my brother!"

"Don't even mention running dungeons. Even if you asked me to lick a latrine right now, as long as Fanzi says that stuff is nutritious, I wouldn't even blink!"

These crude yet forceful words surprised many people around them.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple-minded fat man is actually quite loyal.

Li Wei's face instantly darkened.

Fatty Wang actually dared to disrespect him in public.

"Fine, very well." Li Wei laughed angrily, his eyes filled with venom. "You've got guts. I'd like to see how long you 'trash duo' can survive in this dungeon!"

"Let's go!"

Li Wei and his men stormed off.

After the farce ended, deathly silence returned to Chen Yifan and Fatty Wang.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Chen Yifan's expression was strange.

"What?"

"Eat shit!"

"roll!"

"Ha ha……"

Chen Yifan patted Wang Pangzi on the shoulder, a warm feeling washing over him.

This world may be messed up, but having such a lovely brother is not too bad.

"Um... classmate..."

A timid voice sounded behind them.

The two turned around.

A petite girl wearing black-rimmed glasses was looking down, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.

The girl was very pretty, but she seemed a little insecure and didn't even dare to lift her head.

"What's up?" Fatty Wang asked, puzzled.

"I...I'm Lin Xiaoyu...Can I...join your team?"

The girl mustered all her courage, her voice barely audible.

Fatty Wang was taken aback and looked her up and down.

What's your profession?

"Rank E... [Herbalist]..."

Lin Xiaoyu's voice became even softer, and her face was lowered even further, as if she wished she could disappear into the ground on the spot.

Herbalist?

Fatty Wang scratched his head, his expression clearly saying, "Are you kidding me?"

This class is basically useless in beginner dungeons.

It can't fight, can't resist, can't heal; its only use is to identify some flowers and plants.

But the Goblin Mine is full of rocks and goblins, so where would you find herbs?

Isn't this just another purebred burden?

He was about to refuse when Chen Yifan stopped him.

Chen Yifan looked at the girl in front of him and felt that she looked very familiar.

A thought flickered in his mind.

[Secret investigation].

[Target: Lin Xiaoyu]

[Occupation: Rank E Herbalist]

【Spirit: 110】

[Talent: Rank A - Absolute Plant Affinity]

[List of items that can be stolen: Talent - Absolute Plant Affinity (Grade A), Skill - Herb Identification (Beginner), Item - Half a packet of Isatis root in my pocket...]

Chen Yifan's heart skipped a beat.

A-grade talent!

Are plants absolutely compatible?

An E-level support class has a mental strength of 110 points, which is twice that of a normal person!

This is definitely not normal.

His gaze fell on the description of that A-level talent.

[Absolutely compatible with plants: Capable of deep communication with plants, soothing their emotions, and significantly promoting plant growth.]

In an instant, a piece of information he had obtained for free from the forum, which was considered junk by countless people, exploded in his mind.

—"Deep in the mine, there is a kind of 'shimmering moss'."

Goblins absolutely hate that smell; it's the best way to repel them in the early game!

Moss is also a plant.

What if this talent could promote the growth of "Flash Moss"?

What if she could "communicate" with these mosses and find the largest and densest patch directly?

Chen Yifan's heart instantly burned with passion.

How can this be considered a burden?

This is clearly an ace card that nobody recognizes, one that could change the entire course of the dungeon raid!

"Can."

Chen Yifan spoke up.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was incredibly clear.

"what?"

Lin Xiaoyu looked up abruptly, her eyes behind her glasses filled with disbelief.

Fatty Wang also panicked, pulling Chen Yifan aside and lowering his voice:

"Fanzi, are you crazy? The two of us are already struggling enough, and you want to bring along another herb gatherer? We're going there to fight monsters and level up, not for a wilderness outing!"

"She's useful," Chen Yifan said, looking at Lin Xiaoyu with an undeniable tone. "Moreover, she's incredibly useful, and only we can truly utilize her abilities."

"Believe me!"

After calming the fat man down, he turned to the girl and gave her a gentle smile.

Welcome to the team.

Lin Xiaoyu's eyes instantly turned red.

She was rejected by everyone around her; they all looked at her as if she were a piece of trash.

This is the first one.

They were also the only team willing to accept her.

"Thank you! Thank you all!"

She kept bowing, so excited that she was incoherent.

"I...I will definitely work hard, I won't hold anyone back!"

And so, amidst the mocking gazes of everyone.

The most unbelievable team in the history of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School has been born.

An F-class thief despised by the entire school.

A simple-minded, brute-force-only C-rank tank.

A useless E-rank herbalist who can't even beat a goblin.

They stood together.

It's like the most glaring joke in this age of geniuses.

They are known as the "Three Useless People".

"Everyone, enter the rift!"

Accompanied by the head of the teaching department's roar?

The light from the Rift Beacon completely engulfed everyone's figures.

Goblin Mine!

I am coming!
