Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

"Well, but now is not the time to talk about this. Xiao Ye can actually enter the Calamity Dungeon now, but I think we should have a meal first."

Only when you're full can you have the strength to fight, but Estia glanced at the pot in the kitchen and found that the food inside had turned into a black mushy mess.

She didn't even notice the burning smell while she was talking to the world's AI.

"I'll redo it; it won't take long."

"Alright, I'll have the succubus maids cook some dishes too, to make it more lavish."

As Estia pondered what the World AI had just said, she couldn't help but feel curious about the contents of the Calamity instance.

Don't believe everything you see...

Section 145, Chapter 138: Entering the Calamity Star

After dinner was prepared, Chu Jinlan did her best to cook a sumptuous meal using the ingredients she had on hand.

However, she had clearly prepared a meal for three people's normal appetite, which was not enough for Esther, so she had the succubus maids deliver some more food.

Ye Qingxian also returned from the training ground. Everyone sat at the dining table to prepare for the meal. Esther and Ye Qingxian sat together, while Chu Jinlan sat opposite them.

boo~

Estia used her fingers to pull off the cap of the red wine bottle, then poured it into the glass in front of her.

"Xiao Ai, would you like a drink?"

"Just a little bit."

"How about... I give it a try?"

Ye Qingxian had never drunk alcohol before, but her curiosity made her want to try this red liquid.

"Huh? Qingxian? What are you talking about?"

The first to object was Chu Jinlan. She absolutely did not want her younger sister to touch alcohol, as it was not good for her health and would be even worse if she developed a drinking habit.

Ye Qingxian understood her mother's worries. She was really just curious, but as an obedient child, she could only give up the idea of ​​drinking.

"Your mother is really good to you."

Esther said, half-sarcastically, while giving Chu Jinlan, her so-called "mother," a meaningful look.

"Let's talk about the jinx," Chu Jinlan said, showing more concern for this. "Qingxian, are your equipment all ready?"

"No need to prepare, just bring a set of equipment of each level, and Estia will arrange it for me."

She already knew about the calamity from Esther. Since she would start from level 1 after entering the dungeon, she didn't need to practice her skills anymore, because all skills in the game had corresponding levels, and most advanced skills required a high level to be used.

For something as important as conquering the calamity star, Esther would never be stingy. Besides, Ye Qingxian wasn't an outsider, and her treasure trove could be freely opened to Ye Qingxian. As long as the legendary artifacts and equipment inside were usable, he could take them at will.

Therefore, all Ye Qingxian needs to do now is to eat a good meal and then enter the Calamity Star instance!

Estia suddenly thought of a question: "If you go in at level 1, will your summoning skill be unusable?"

"It can be used. That's a special ability skill that ignores level."

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Let's eat."

Estia took a graceful sip of red wine, then put down the glass and took out the familiar bib, hanging it around her neck.

Ye Qingxian immediately noticed her mother's strange expression. She was probably thinking that someone as mature as Esther was still using a drool pad to eat.

I remember Estella's eating manners were quite unsightly, but with her mother here today, she should behave herself a bit.

As it turned out, Ye Qingxian had overthought things. Esther continued to wolf down her food, completely unconcerned that someone else was watching her. It seems she shouldn't have doubted how elegant dragons could be when they ate.

Chu Jinlan was greatly shocked. Could it be because her cooking was too delicious?

"Slow down, eat slowly. Is my cooking really that good?"

"Pfft... glug... delicious."

"Even if it's delicious, take your time, don't choke."

"Mom, don't worry about her," Ye Qingxian said from the side. "That's just how she is when she eats, you'll get used to it."

Miss Silver Dragon revealed that she is a foodie, but that's not a bad thing. Chu Jinlan is already considering increasing the amount of food she cooks in the future. Since Esther likes her cooking so much, she will cook more in the future.

Estya enjoyed her dinner, but she left some food for Ye Qingxian and Chu Jinlan in case they weren't full.

"Sorry, I ate a little too fast."

Estia wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, realizing that what she had done was somewhat impolite, and apologized to the two of them.

"It's alright, let me take care of it. You two go do your work."

Chu Jinlan took the initiative to stand up and clear the tableware. Ye Qingxian offered to help, but she refused, saying that obtaining the Star Crystal was more important right now.

"Oh, right, Aunt Chu," Esther forgot to tell her something, "please don't reveal any information about Xiao Ye's game to that so-called federal government in reality, okay?"

The fewer people who know about hunting star crystals, the better, and those who do know must be trustworthy.

"Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I won't tell anyone."

"Okay, then I'll go keep Xiao Ye company first."

"come on."

Even if Ye Qingxian fails to conquer the Calamity Star instance, at most she will just die and be resurrected, and then search for another Calamity Star.

Moreover, it's still unknown whether the calamity will disappear after a failed attempt, or whether the dungeons inside are one-time events or will remain until the attempt is successful.

Nobody knows. If you want to know, you have to explore.

Estya instructed Ye Qingxian to keep the recording function on at all times and not to miss any useful information that might come up.

After taking Ye Qingxian to the equipment store to select useful equipment, the two arrived at the open space in Youjing Longyuan.

The eerie red star hung above the Netherworld Dragon Abyss. It was already night, and it stood out conspicuously among the countless stars.

"How do I enter the Calamity Star?" Ye Qingxian asked.

"Fly up?"

Estia summoned her hidden wings, hugged Ye Qingxian's waist from behind, and leaped into the air.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, it flew up, startling Ye Qingxian.

"Why are you so scared? You'll get used to it sooner or later."

Estia increased her flight speed, and her body began to emit light, making her look like a silver comet from the ground.

Before long, she flew with Ye Qingxian to the location of the calamity star. According to her calculations, the calamity star was only 3000 meters away from the ground, which was less than some of the higher mountains.

"What's the next step?"

"Try touching the jinx?"

The jinx is now within their reach. Only after getting close and observing it will they realize that the jinx itself is not very big, only about the size of a basketball.

Ye Qingxian felt a little nervous. She cautiously reached out her hand and touched the star that was emitting a red light.

Immediately afterwards, Esther felt a loosening in her arms, and Ye Qingxian's body had disappeared.

"So that's how it is. I was teleported into a separate space?"

Estia also tried to touch the calamity with her hands, but then a strong force repelled her.

It seems only Xiao Ye can enter...

In order to figure out what was going on, Esther opened her friends list, found Ye Qingxian's name, and sent her a private message.

Ultimately, the response was met with silence; Ye Qingxian offered no reply.

Section 146, Chapter 139: The Siege of the Empire

Since Ye Qingxian and Esther met, Esther has always relied on her formidable strength, but now she can only rely on herself.

When Ye Qingxian entered the realm of disaster, she was quite uneasy, because the unknown is the easiest thing to evoke fear.

But when she opened her eyes, she was stunned by the scene before her. There was no monster roaring and trying to rush at her as she had expected; there was only silence, a deathly silence.

A gentle breeze carried the smell of rust. Ye Qingxian could clearly hear her own heartbeat. Everything was too quiet; apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other sound.

She stared at the scene before her, her pupils shrinking, unable to believe that this was actually a copy of the calamity.

Regardless, it's really strange that it appeared in a game with a fantasy setting...

What Ye Qingxian saw was a massive complex of buildings that seemed to have stood for a very long time; these countless high-rises looked like steel tombs.

Walking down the street, she saw something resembling a zebra crossing. A few steps further, she saw a rusty car.

Is this a destroyed modern city?

Ye Qingxian checked her system repeatedly but found no hints about the dungeon or instructions on what to do next.

She even wondered if she had entered the beta of another game? A game set in modern warfare?

But the stench of decay that filled the air made Ye Qingxian realize that this steel city was not destroyed by war, but by decay.

It's probably because the city was abandoned, and it took thousands of years for it to become like this.

Ye Qingxian was quite confused. If only there were system prompts, would she have to figure things out on her own now?

To avoid any unexpected situations, Ye Qingxian took out her weapons from her backpack. She first carried her bow and arrows on her back as a ranged weapon, and then took out a long spear.

Compared to swords, axes, knives, and hammers, she found that she still preferred longer weapons. In open areas, she could simply follow the principle that "an inch longer, an inch stronger."

Her level has now dropped to 1, but she can still equip max-level gear, although the gear level will be reduced.

As Ye Qingxian ventured deeper into this steel city, the long-silent system notification finally rang in her ears.

Ding! Limited-time battle begins!

"Eliminate as many enemies as possible within 20 minutes, achieving at least 100 kills. You will receive a Star Crystal upon completion; failure will result in expulsion from the instance."

The scene in front of Ye Qingxian suddenly changed; the steel city was gone, replaced by a city wall building with a very fantastical style.
