68: Pretty Lucky
"Your brain should contain brains, not shit!" Leticia shouted loudly, her mental state slightly exploding from Bai Ling's idiotic operation.
The black and white screen displayed two large red characters—Leticia had crashed.
The mechanisms in low-level dungeons didn't reason with you. If they were meant to insta-kill, they would insta-kill, no matter how high your level was.
And this time, it was because of Bai Ling's misoperation that triggered the mechanism, causing their three-person team to directly perform an on-the-spot group death.
"Qianqian, don't scold Little Bai. She's just a newbie—it's normal for her not to understand things." The Guild Leader quickly mediated.
Although the wasted effort made her somewhat disappointed, compared to Leticia, she could still control her emotions.
"But the boss was just a tiny bit ahead. Now that we're dead, we have to go back to the save point and fight our way through again. So troublesome." Leticia glared fiercely at the bewildered Bai Ling. "Just follow behind me obediently and don't mess with random stuff, okay?"
"Oh, okay." Bai Ling nodded, then felt she needed to explain her previous action. "I saw a red button over there and wanted to see what would happen if I pressed it."
"My sister! That's red—red! Don't you know what red means?!" Leticia slammed her palm on the table. Was this Bai Ling an idiot? Red buttons were telling you not to press them randomly. How could she still press it?
The result was directly activating the entire dungeon's self-destruct program. Really, beyond words.
"Haha, I think I did the same thing back then." But the Guild Leader laughed. Bai Ling's explanation reminded her of herself during the pioneering period years ago, equally curious like Bai Ling. "The result was that I made all the teammates in the group so angry they left."
"Qianqian, haven't you ever pressed it, or been curious about what would happen after pressing this button?"
The Guild Leader's question was a good one. Leticia certainly knew the function of this button and what would happen after pressing it.
Curiosity was something everyone had.
"I pressed it, but I pressed it after clearing it once. I didn't just press this one—I pressed every button in this instance that could be pressed, big and small."
The Guild Leader was surprised. She had thought Leticia would say she had never pressed it. Unexpectedly, Leticia was also someone full of curiosity.
"Then why didn't you remind me?" Bai Ling interjected.
"Why should I remind you? Who are you to me? Have some shame." Leticia turned around and gave Bai Ling, who was looking at her, a middle finger with her scallion-like finger.
In the process of interacting with Bai Ling, Leticia was always particularly irritable.
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question—what does the middle finger mean?" Bai Ling didn't quite understand some of Leticia's actions. For example, the middle finger—she knew this was Leticia expressing contempt, but the real meaning, she really didn't understand.
"Cough cough cough, Little Bai, it's better if you don't know about this." Guild Leader immediately interrupted.
Given the ambiguous relationship between Little Bai and Qianqian, plus Little Bai's occasionally revealed common-sense-lacking attributes, Guild Leader was a bit worried Little Bai would misunderstand Qianqian's meaning.
"Why?" Bai Ling didn't understand.
"If you don't understand, look it up yourself. Don't chatter at this time, okay?" Leticia rolled her eyes. "You two hurry up and follow. We're about to fight the boss."
"Qianqian, you can solo the boss at this level, right?" The Guild Leader immediately operated her character to run over.
Leticia inserted the key taken from the previous monster room into the brass lock on the door. With a crisp click, the lock on the door immediately shattered into several pieces.
"No matter how many times I see it, this way of opening doors always feels shocking." The Guild Leader muttered quietly.
"Compared to opening doors, Guild Leader, you should have a deeper impression of that boss—after all, it's the monster called the most beautiful boss." In brilliant golden light, a girl's silhouette slowly appeared. Leticia pouted. Really an old friend not seen for a long time.
"I actually prefer that big butterfly from the Northern Lands event. More beautiful, and more artistic in appearance. This saint here has no soul—she doesn't count as good-looking."
"What soul could a clone have? If you want soul, go find the real saint." Leticia indicated she still preferred humanoid creatures more.
That big butterfly was indeed beautiful, but Leticia really couldn't use the word "like" to describe her feelings toward it.
"After we finish, game over. Bai Ling, you go loot the chest." Under level suppression, Leticia didn't spend much effort dealing with the boss. A few small skills thrown down, and the boss collapsed rather miserably on the ground.
Torn white dress, disheveled golden short hair—involuntarily arousing a trace of sympathy.
"Looks a bit pitiful." Bai Ling said softly.
A golden small chest had already appeared in front of the boss, containing this round's clear reward.
Bai Ling walked to the chest and pressed the interaction key. Instantly, golden light blazed.
"Fuck, gold drop." Leticia and the Guild Leader simultaneously burst out with curses.
This game's drop rate could be described as ridiculously low. Having a gold drop on the first clear of this kind of dungeon was simply emperor-level luck among emperors.
"Wait, this dungeon has gold drops?" But soon, Leticia noticed something wrong. The highest rarity drop from this mission should only be purple.
Bai Ling had accepted the quest to enter this dungeon. After clearing it once, although she could enter here again to explore, the rewards obtainable from exploration couldn't compare to the first clear.
And even for the first clear, the highest rarity drop in the boss chest was just the purple-quality accessory "Saint's Hair Clip."
"Ah, this instance doesn't have gold drops?"
"Guild Leader, don't you know? Gold drops are exclusive to high-level dungeons." Leticia was shocked. Her Guild Leader was slacking off too much—she didn't even know this.
"Um, Prophecy Book · One?" At this time, Bai Ling had already taken the golden item in her hands.
Leticia quickly leaned over to look. The golden drop was actually a broken ancient book.
