Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

[Ding~ Congratulations to player "Song Yuan"! Your overall level has increased. Please check your personal panel.]

In the darkness, He Xiao slowly collapsed after his health points were completely depleted, dying with his eyes wide open.

With He Xiao's death, all his accumulated points, weapons, and items were released. A huge pile of weapons and items formed a small mountain.

Song Yuan turned to look at Qiao Ran, who still seemed a little confused. She touched her chest, then her limbs and torso, snapped her fingers, and reverted to her original form.

"...I wasn't shot?"

Song Yuan also asked in confusion, "Yes, why weren't you shot?"

Qiao Ran: "Then? He Xiao suddenly fired a shot into the sky just now, wasn't that you? I thought you had planned it all out."

Song Yuan: "My original plan was to get shot a few times, betting that the bullets wouldn't hit your vitals. At most, I'd take away fifty or sixty points of your health, leaving you with just enough breath to get you out of the dungeon as quickly as possible."

Qiao Ran: "...I suddenly feel like we're actually pretty in sync, really."

Song Yuan began to inventory He Xiao's items. Among them were quite a few high-level weapons, and the total points had already exceeded one million.

Qiao Ran found her "Siren's Scale" and put it back around her neck. She sighed:

"This is the first time I've ever conspired with someone to kill a high-level player in a game. I always stayed far away before. You can take all the points. Keep the weapons and items for now, and we'll count them out slowly when we have time."

Song Yuan pulled out a dagger from among them, stroking the hilt: "I don't have a weapon. Can I choose one of these weapons to bind to me?"

Qiao Ran gave an affirmative answer:

"Sure, but I don't recommend doing it."

Because once a weapon is bound to a player, it cannot be changed unless the weapon is completely destroyed, in which case the system will determine that it is unbound and the player can repurchase it.

The system assigns weapons based on the player's characteristics and strength. While these weapons are high-level, they may not be suitable for you. And frankly, I don't think any of them are worthy of you; you'll definitely get better ones in the future, so there's no need to rush.

Although she didn't quite understand how Qiao Ran determined whether these weapons were worthy of her, his suggestion made sense. Song Yuan temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​binding weapons here, picked up her money bag and scanned it; her points balance suddenly increased by several zeros.

[Ding~ 121.3 points credited to your account]

Current balance: 121.9

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the "Wealthy and Powerful" badge! Keep up the good work and reach new heights!]

After Song Yuan finishes this game, the player donations and system rewards should increase by another hundred thousand.

She is also a player with a million points.

Although she wasn't a greedy person, as her points accumulated, she was one step closer to completely getting rid of the system.

Once everything was ready, Song Yuan grabbed Qiao Ran, spun him around, and tossed him into the air. After Qiao Ran was up, she lowered the rope down, tying the other end to a tree.

"Alright~ Come on up!"

After waiting for about ten seconds without receiving a response from Song Yuan, Qiao Ran thought something might have happened to her inside alone, and called out again uncertainly:

"Song Yuan?"

Song Yuan suddenly spoke:

"I plan to take these skeletons from the bottom of the pit out as well."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ran asked, puzzled, "Why? Because of the system task?"

"No."

In the darkness, Song Yuan gazed at the stark white human bones. Having been shot, these remains had suffered some degree of damage.

"I saw in the village chief's ledger that many women were sold to this village. Those who couldn't withstand the torture and died young must have been thrown into this pit."

That's why the bodies here don't even have a proper grave; they were just carelessly dumped here after they died. It's even quite possible that they weren't quite dead yet, but were deemed worthless and left here to die.

With so many skeletons here, how many innocent and pure souls perished here in the past?

Qiao Ran thought Song Yuan was doing it for a system task:

"The system only requires us to take away living people. Most of these skeletons are already highly damaged, so we can only take a portion of them."

"We'll deal with it part by part," Song Yuan said from the bottom of the pit. "You don't need to worry about this. I'll pack up the remains and take them with me."

Qiao Ran paused—if he were acting alone, he would never do anything outside of his mission.

"Why don't I have to worry about it?"

He walked away helplessly, then reached into the nearby graveyard and felt around, finding two bamboo poles—likely cut down by villagers to scare away snakes. He returned to the pit, called out to Song Yuan to be careful, and threw the bamboo poles down.

"After all, I'm the one who's begging you to be my long-term teammate. I'll go along with whatever you want to do. There are curtains and sheets at school; we should be able to use those to pack things up."

Song Yuan reached out and caught the pole: "Whatever you want."

So Qiao Ran went back to school to find the necessary items for collecting the remains. Song Yuan started from the pit wall, using a bamboo pole to carefully probe and gather all the bones together. After Qiao Ran returned, they neatly arranged the bones, wrapped them up, and carried them on her shoulder. Grabbing the rope, she scurried up.

Just as Song Yuan stepped onto the ground, the moonlight suddenly shone into the back mountain, which was originally so dark that nothing could be seen.

Strands of moonlight filtered through the tree canopy, casting a silken glow. The dampness that had lingered in the air vanished, and the path down the mountain opened up, the soles of our shoes making a soft rustling sound as we walked on the fallen leaves.

Qiao Ran reached out and hugged the moonlight with emotion:

"So doing good deeds in dungeons really does bring good rewards? That's great!"

I remember the village chief mentioned there are tricycles in the village. How about we drive to the village entrance?

"Okay," Song Yuan said, carrying a large bundle on her back. "Then you lead the way."

Qiao Ran, who was still quite lucky, led the way. Families with tricycles were generally better off, and the two found one without much trouble.

As the two drove their tricycle towards the village entrance, they heard an argument from afar. Song Yuan leaned out of the window and witnessed the following scene:

Cui Xiaofei spread his arms, making a gesture to drive them away. The women huddled together, hugging each other, trembling. Zhao Meng stood in front of Cui Xiaofei; the two were arguing.

"What are you doing! I already said we'd go first. They haven't come back yet, something must have happened, hahaha! My god, sis, think about it carefully! What if this dungeon has a time limit? What if it does! If you don't want to live, don't drag me down with you, hahaha!"
