Chapter 37: Gentle Wind
Having followed the Gunner, Xu Feng soon arrived at the true destination.
Throughout the route, he noticed many players were inspecting the areas, clearly afraid of other unknown players infiltrating their base.
'How pointless is this though?' From their perspective, they were planning to do something big, but from Xu Feng's perspective, it was just a trivial task.
As long as they listened and followed his command properly, they could easily complete the Hell Mode difficulty.
There was no need for all this secrecy and manpower. Though he can't speak much of them either, considering he was hiding his appearance with a mask as well. fr𝙤m Sometime later, the Gunner stopped his footstep as he greeted the woman in front of him politely. "Guild Leader, I've brought the person that you're waiting for."
"Good work, Steelshot. I'll have a talk with the person while you and the rest get ready." Gentle Wind nodded and commanded.
The Gunner— Steelshot nodded his head and returned to his team.
"Are you the subordinate sent by the person I've been messaging?" Gentle Wind's gaze scrutinized Xu Feng, assessing his gear and demeanor.
Simultaneously, Xu Feng also evaluated Gentle Wind.
Gentle Wind's sorcerer attire consisted of a basic robe adorned with modest symbols, paired with a leather belt and fingerless gloves. Her staff, crafted from sturdy oak and tipped with a crystal, hinted at her budding magical prowess.
As Xu Feng observed her staff, he recognized it as the Arcanewood Staff, typically available for equipping at level 4. 'She must have grinded a lot while I took a small break.'
"Indeed, I am." Xu Feng calmly replied. "Boss sent me here to assist you in getting the first clear achievement."
"Oh? Is your boss not going to show up at all?" Gentle Wind seemed surprised, clearly not expecting the person to remain hidden.
She had initially thought the person wanted to meet them by the dungeon and merely sent someone here for a preliminary introduction.
"Heh, Boss is a busy person and has too many businesses to do." Xu Feng chuckled humorously, putting on a new personality to prevent the latter from connecting him to the person she was messaging.
"Are you a Cleric by any chance?" Gentle Wind raised an eyebrow.
"Yep, I'm a Cleric and level 2 at that. Amazing, right?"
"What nonsense is this!" Before Gentle Wind could even respond, her companion had interrupted her.
"Autumn Breeze, remain polite." Gentle Wind lightly chided her. Though based on her tone, it was evident that Gentle Wind was skeptical of this arrangement as well, but can't voice it out.
Thus, having Autumn Breeze interrupting and making a scene would be better.
And having received her signal, Autumn Breeze proceeded with her actions, stepping forward.
"Your Boss received the payment from us already, but not only did your Boss fail to show up, they even sent a level 2 Cleric. Are you trying to mess with us?" She snorted coldly.
As if he had expected such a commotion from the start, Xu Feng merely kept his cool and slowly retrieved a few Fire Resistance Potions.
"The current market for the Fire Resistance Potions is sky high right now. Even with enough funds, you might not even be able to obtain them. And what I have right here is a superior version than the ones you see in the Auction Market. So tell me, does it look like we'll use such high-quality potions as a joke?" Xu Feng questioned back, deflecting Autumn Breeze's doubts.
Seeing was better than hearing, and now that they witnessed Xu Feng retrieving the genuine Fire Resistance Potions, their doubts gradually lowered significantly.
"Do you mind if I inspect one of them?" Gentle Wind softly asked.
"Be my guest," Xu Feng smirked and allowed Gentle Wind to inspect each of the potions he had brought out.
Sure enough, once Gentle Wind finished reading the description and comparing it to the one she had managed to purchase previously, the difference was clear.
The ones that Xu Feng revealed were superior and greater than the ones listed in the Auction Market.
A few minutes later, Xu Feng's voice broke the silent atmosphere. "I suppose no one else should have any doubts that we're trying to mess around, right?"
Although Autumn Breeze wished to speak further, Gentle Wind signaled her to stand down. Nothing could be more concrete than the set of potions laid flatly in her eyes.
"The effects and duration of the potions you brought are indeed superior." Gentle Wind admitted the genuineness of it.
"Heh, I'm glad we managed to get that cleared." Xu Feng clasped his hands together and asked, "The Scorched Caverns only allow 20 players maximum, so how many players are you bringing along with their classes."
Nodding her head, Gentle Wind began to give a brief report of her arrangement.
"Aside from you being a Cleric, we have another 2 players. Followed by 6 Sorcerers, 1 Summoner, 4 Berserkers, 2 Assassins, 1 Gun Knight, 1 Knight Lancer, and 2 Gunners."
Hearing the list, Xu Feng couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.
There were simply too many varieties in the classes, and some of them could even become a burden.
"This arrangement is no good, Gentle Wind." Xu Feng gave his honest opinion on this matter. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"Assassins are not needed in this dungeon, so having them is a waste of slots. 1 Gunner is enough considering we have 6 Sorcerers already. I suggest allocating the remaining members to 3 Gun Knights, 2 Knight Lancers." He added, inputting his own desired arrangement.
In his suggestion, there will now be 3 Clerics, 6 Sorcerers, 1 Summoner, 4 Berserkers, 3 Gun Knights, 2 Knight Lancers, and 1 Gunner, making up a total of 20 slots.
Naturally, conflicts were bound to rise when Xu Feng essentially eliminated the Assassins players, causing them to be livid.
"What nonsense are you saying? Don't you know Assassins are proficient in dealing with traps? Or are you trying to say you can detect them better?" One of the Assassins retorted, clearly finding the new arrangement to be ridiculous.
