The incomprehensible phenomenon does not end there. What is even more incomprehensible is that a week has passed, and apart from being frequently seen in contact with Che Huiyi at school, Xiadie has no intention of joining the guild at all.

There may be disadvantages to joining a guild, but the advantages are clearly far greater.

And the benefit of not joining...except that you can call yourself a free man, there is nothing at all.

So, what is the reason why this new S-level has not joined the guild yet?

The reason is actually very simple.

Xiadie has no shortage of money or fame, so there is no need for her to join a guild. Although more money can allow her to accumulate funds quickly and bid for A-level dungeons, there is really no need for this. Now Xiadie and Han Songyi can make up all the profits by bidding for B-level and C-level dungeons, and they can have a high income by hiring five or six E hunters to make up the number.

Han Songyi even raised enough money for her grandmother's first surgery in a short period of time.

What's more...Xiadie believes that not joining a guild and being an independent hunter will actually make her more recognized.

The S-class has always been a hot topic, and Xiadie is currently the youngest S-class, the most beautiful S-class, and also the S-class with the most bizarre abilities. With multiple titles and a sense of mystery, there are countless paparazzi who want to dig up information about her every day.

At least in the short term, you don't have to worry about recognition.

Life moved forward slowly. It was another afternoon after school. Xiadie had just walked out of the classroom when she saw Che Huiyi walking towards her from the corridor.

"Xiadie."

Seeing her, Cha Huiyi immediately smiled and said, "I bid for an A-level portal today, so I want to hire you to work with me."

"Senior Che?"

Xiadie said in surprise.

It's Cha Hae-yi, not Hantes.

As mentioned before, joining a guild can quickly accumulate funds and bid for A-level dungeons. Conversely, if you don’t have a guild, you cannot bid for A-level dungeons.

As the top dungeon under normal circumstances, the income of A-level will not only be much higher than that of B-level, but you may also get rare equipment or weapons from the BOSS, whose craftsmanship is even higher than that of all craftsmen in the world. This kind of equipment is generally called an artifact.

This resulted in the A-level portal being completely controlled by the top guilds, and almost no other guilds or individuals besides the five major guilds could bid for it.

"Yes, but since this is an individual bidding, there are only two of us this time."

Cha Huiyi said sheepishly, "As for the rest... we can just hire hunters to meet the required number of people, just like Xiadie did."

She looked like a good student skipping class, which made Xiadie laugh.

"But why the two of us? What about the Hantes Guild?"

Xiadie asked curiously.

"Because... I need to buy a divine artifact soon, so I'm a little short on money... If there are two of us, we can split the profits from the A-level portal equally. We'll make more than the guild!"

Cha Huiyi's eyes wandered a little, but she still finished the sentence.

It's obvious at first glance that he's lying, or that he's guilty.

Xiadie thought about it for a moment and realized that Che Huiyi's claim of being short of money was fake, and that she was really taking this opportunity to give her money.

Maybe it was because of the previous magic allergy incident, so he wanted to repay me?

Although Xiadie didn't need it, the other party was a decisive person. It took him so long to find her, and it was not in the name of Hunts but in his personal name. It must have taken a lot of effort.

In this case, it would be too cruel to reject her.

"Okay, I also need some start-up capital. Thank you, Senior Che."

Xiadie didn't point it out, but expressed her gratitude with a smile.

"Okay! Let's set off immediately!"

Chapter 25: Strange Dungeon.

Although we decided to go together as a group, we still needed to get together eight people due to the rules.

Xiadie originally wanted to call Han Songyi along, not because she wanted to take her into the dungeon as well, but because she thought that since she had to hire some hunters anyway, she might as well let Han Songyi do it for a bit and earn some hiring fees. But after hesitating for a while, she gave up.

After all, Han Songyi has been working intensively these days. He has to go to school in the morning and go into the dungeon with her after school. Even if she doesn't need to do any work, she will rush to be a magic crystal stone carrier, trying her best not to make it so obvious that she is a freeloader.

However, such a high-intensity life is still a bit hard for a high school student. Money can be earned at any time, so it is better to let Han Songyi take a break and spend more time with his family.

Thinking of this, Xiadie sent her a message meaning "I have something to do today, see you tomorrow."

Only after receiving the reply did Xiadie put down her phone.

Because of Xiadie's special condition, the two were unable to take any transportation to the portal, so they simply boarded the dead dragon together.

The dead dragon Polykes is a creature created by the previous Senatos, Polysia, and is an extension of her will, but not her herself, because there is no Polysia here. The dead dragon becomes an extension of the will of this Senatos, Xiadie.

It itself does not have the physique of the "incarnation of death" like Xiadie, although it could have it.

This time the portal was at the foot of a mountain in a remote suburb. The hunters who came to make up the numbers had already been on standby here. After all, they were all low-level DE-class hunters. They had not joined a guild and did not have much to do on weekdays.

Although it was just hiring fees, Cha Huiyi was a generous boss and the money she gave them was enough for them to go to the dungeon twice a weekday, so there was nothing wrong in showing the best attitude to the boss.

but……

Looking at the two people, one in gold and one in purple, jumping down from the dead dragon, it seemed as if the intersection of heaven and hell naturally attracted their attention.

There's probably no other person in this country other than Cha Hae-yi who can date this 'maiden of the shadow of death' without showing any scruples.

The Maid of Death's Shadow has the same nickname as Cha Hae-yi's 'Dancing Girl' and Choi Jung-in's 'Humanity's Strongest Weapon'. It is said that a hunter hired by Xiadie involuntarily uttered the name while in the dungeon, and it spread quickly after being heard by others.

How should I put it... I don't know how impressive it is, but it's very suitable and sounds nice, so it just became my nickname.

When the hunters from the association saw that everyone was gathered, they walked towards Che Huiyi, the winner of the bid, from the front of the portal. They left only after registering everyone present.

"We won't be the only ones going in this time, so let's not go straight into the lord's room."

After entering the portal with Xiadie, Che Huiyi said, "We can first clear out the enemies here, and then move the magic crystal out."

Xiadie was not unfamiliar with this and nodded slightly. Then the modern clothes on her body immediately turned into the 'classic skin' in the game.

"Eh……?"

This made Che Huiyi stunned.

After looking at her regular clothes and then at Xiadie's 'battle suit', Che Huiyi took out the long sword from the space and asked curiously: "Is Xiadie so proficient in subspace magic? I can only store the sword in it now."

In fact, this is the result of her progress in recent days. Before, let alone swords, her subspace could only hold some jewelry such as rings and necklaces.

"But Xiadie does have summoning abilities after all, so it's not surprising."

Although she was curious, Che Huiyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After all, in her eyes, Xiadie was more inclined towards magic and knew the concept of magic manipulation. She must have practiced a lot.

It's normal that he is stronger than me, a swordsman who only knows how to use magic to strengthen himself and is a latecomer.

"If Senior Che needs it, you can always keep a spare set of equipment with me."

Xiadie smiled and said without any burden.

Through their interactions during this period, she realized that Cha Huiyi was very well-equipped.

Unlike other hunters who enjoy enjoying themselves, Cha Huiyi spends most of her money on buying equipment and weapons. It can be said that she has prepared a lot of suits that can adapt to various occasions for the dungeon, and a small portion of her money is used to support other hunters in the guild.

Xiadie never expected that she would meet such a nice person, which made her like Che Huiyi more and regard her as her second friend in the world.

The reason why it took so long to get the news of repaying me, and the reason why they hired only E-level and D-level hunters, is because the other party does not have much funds other than equipment.

In other words, there are many valuable things in the house, but the house itself does not have much money.

Mona from the other world is... That's not right, Mona lives a much poorer life than Cha Huiyi.

"Ah... that's not necessary. It's better for Xiadie to pack more useful things for herself."

Faced with Xiadie's kindness, Che Huiyi waved her hand, embarrassed to let her equipment take up space.

As the two finished their words, other hunters followed in one after another.

Although she originally wanted these hunters to wait outside, it was rare to watch the A-level dungeon and S-level battles up close, and these two S-levels were even two rare beauties.

Hunters naturally hope to enter the dungeon together, as it is not only a feast for the eyes but also provides good topics for conversation.

After all, it was just an A-level dungeon. Although she was not wearing any equipment, Che Huiyi didn't think that she and Xiadie would be unable to protect these low-level hunters behind her.

They are not planning to start a BOSS.

As magicians, E-class hunters lit fireballs for illumination. They did not have the powerful five senses of S-class hunters and still needed light to maintain normal vision.

This underground city is still a cave, perhaps a cave, or perhaps underground. There is only one passage in front of everyone, so they walked forward.

"Something's coming."

Not long after, Cha Huiyi felt an unpleasant smell entering her nostrils, and several huge red-haired canine creatures rushed out from the dark corners that the firelight could not illuminate.

Whether as an inviter or a senior, Che Huiyi had no intention of letting Xiadie fight unnecessary battles. After all, this time she was bidding for the dungeon just to repay Xiadie, so naturally she had to give Xiadie the best gaming experience.

"It's the Dungeon Jackal!"

The D-level magician was shocked and almost couldn't maintain the magic power to maintain the fireball.

Che Huiyi frowned slightly, but the sword in her hand did not hesitate at all. Golden light climbed up the sword, and with her agile and gorgeous movements, like dancing, more than a dozen jackals were wiped out in just two seconds.

but……

"Something's wrong."

Cha Huiyi looked at the fallen jackal corpses and immediately noticed the collars around their necks. She wondered, "Why are there C-rank monsters in an A-rank dungeon? And they have collars around their necks?"

This is just like being tamed, but... a monster taming a monster?

Cha Huiyi always felt that this A-level dungeon was a little unusual.

Chapter 26: Popular again?

"Excuse me...what does this mean?"

Although they were low-level hunters, the others didn't miss out on learning this, or rather, learning something they could brag about to others: "Is it strange that a jackal appeared in an A-rank dungeon?"

Jackals are actually quite common in dungeons. Although they are C-level monsters, D-level monsters can also be encountered. They usually live in groups in the forest.

Che Huiyi hadn't intended to hide the truth. Hearing someone ask, and seeing Xiadie's equally curious look, she elaborated: "If it's an intermediate-level dungeon, say a B or C-level one, it wouldn't be surprising for a jackal to appear. Magical beasts often appear in dungeons of the same or higher level."

"This kind of dungeon won't have powerful enemies that can kill them without a designated driver, nor will they be in a dilemma of not being able to catch prey, but... the difference is different when there are two levels."

After hearing Cha Huiyi's explanation, everyone understood.

A one-level difference can be made up by quantity and ruthlessness, but a two-level difference cannot be made up by these.

"And this collar..."

Che Huiyi pointed to the rough, yet recognizable, collar-like leather items on the jackals' necks, her expression growing increasingly puzzled. "This kind of thing isn't something a mindless monster could create. Humans are different from other animals because we can make and use tools."

"Che...Che Hunter, do you mean...that there is someone in this portal?"

The low-level hunters were somewhat stunned and horrified.

"It's probably not a human... but a magical beast with human intelligence..."

Cha Huiyi's expression became more serious.

"This shouldn't be surprising, right? Don't white ghosts also have this kind of wisdom?"

Her words actually made the hunters feel relieved.

"..."

Cha Huiyi was silent for a moment, but still patiently explained, "White Ghosts are B-rank monsters. The main reason they're called White Ghosts is because they're inherently difficult to deal with as B-rank monsters, and they also possess impressive intelligence and tactical abilities. But if their strength were replaced with A-rank, the situation would be completely different."

"This……"

The hunters then remembered that this was an A-level dungeon.

There are six levels from S to E, and there is a watershed between every two levels. E to D are called low-level hunters and low-level monsters, C to B are intermediate, and although A to S are also called high-level, they will show a huge difference in strength.

An A-level dungeon will naturally be filled with A-level monsters and an S-level boss. If it were just that, it would be fine, but it would be a different story if it had wisdom.

"Sorry, Xiadie, I probably can't continue this dungeon."

Cha Huiyi looked at Xiadie with a guilty look on her face. "I have to report this to the guild and bring in an elite team. I'll compensate you with another A-rank portal later."

"compensate?"

Xiadie tilted her head in confusion.

Although I know what Cha Huiyi is thinking, her previous excuse was that she wanted to buy a magic weapon.

"Ah... that's not right! Xiadie, you already know what I mean!"
