MMB Chapter 7. Sis, take me to the dungeon tomorrow.
Chapter 7. Sis, take me to the dungeon tomorrow.
Su Ming landed, and the staff in his hand transformed again, splitting into two daggers.
He moved with lightning speed, unleashing a basic assassin skill: backstab.
With his agility of 20, he was so fast that he left a trail of afterimages in the air.
brush!
Two daggers precisely pierced the weak spot on the back of the Light and Shadow Warrior's neck.
Crit!
The Light Warrior's health bar instantly dropped to zero, turning into countless points of light that vanished.
The entire process was smooth and took less than thirty seconds.
Su Ming stylishly twirled his sword, transformed the Thousand Chance Umbrella back into its umbrella form, leaned on the ground, and struck a cool pose.
"Tsk, too weak."
"Completely unchallenging."
Su Ming said with a look of disdain, "An opponent of this strength doesn't even have the ability to make me sweat."
However, the slight rise and fall of his chest and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed him.
Although he complained about it, this combo really took a toll on his physical and mental strength.
After all, it involves high-intensity form switching and fusion skill release.
clap clap.
The door to the training room was pushed open, and Su Qing leaned against the door frame, clapping her hands while looking at Su Ming with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
"That combo you just used, did you come up with it yourself?"
Su Qing's voice was filled with amazement.
Su Ming immediately resumed his lazy demeanor, walked back to the massage chair, and lay down:
"Yeah, just practicing casually. We have a lot of skills anyway, so we'll just try our luck."
Su Qing shook her head, walked to his side, and handed him a towel:
"Keep pretending. Even a fourth-tier weapon master might not be able to switch between three class forms so smoothly just now."
"Mingming, you really are a genius."
Su Ming covered his face with a towel and said in a muffled voice:
"Being a genius is too tiring; I just want to be a good-for-nothing."
Su Qing affectionately ruffled his hair:
"Fine, fine, you're a good-for-nothing, the most amazing good-for-nothing in the world."
"By the way, Dad told me to tell you that everything you wanted has been prepared, and he even helped you acquire a rare general skill book called 'Basic Mana Recovery,' which cost three million."
Su Ming felt a warmth in his heart.
That's what family is like. They never ask why, they only ask if it's enough.
Just then, that annoying mechanical voice rang out again.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the simulated combat training. Rating: Perfect.]
[System notification: Flowers grown in a greenhouse will never grow into towering trees. Simulation battles are ultimately fake. The beginner period has ended.]
[Task issued: Please go to the Dark Forest, the beginner dungeon outside the city, and complete it in single-player mode within 24 hours.]
[Mission Reward: Unlocks the second stage of the Thousand Chance Umbrella – Gunner Form.]
[Failure Penalty: Host's appearance will decrease by 100 points (for seven days)]
When Su Ming heard the details of the punishment, he almost choked.
My face?
That's my lifeline!
He abruptly ripped the towel off his face and said to Su Qing with a look of grief and indignation:
"Sis, take me to the dungeon tomorrow morning. The Dark Forest dungeon."
Su Qing was taken aback:
"Go to a dungeon? Didn't you say you were going to sleep in?"
"Besides, places like the Dark Forest are filthy, aren't they the places you hate the most?"
Su Ming gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence:
"I've figured it out. As a freelancer, I need not only theoretical knowledge but also practical experience. I'm going to... go blow up fishponds!"
His heart was bleeding.
"I was forced! I did it for my face!"
Su Qing couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at her younger brother's bitter and resentful yet resigned expression.
"Okay, I'll personally take you there tomorrow. But let's make it clear, if you encounter any danger, don't be reckless. Just crush the teleportation talisman, and I'll be waiting for you outside."
Su Ming nodded, lay back down in the massage chair, stared at the ceiling, and let out a cry from the depths of his soul:
"I don't want to do dungeons! I just want to go home and relax! System, have some humanity!"
Of course, all he got in response was the system's cold countdown and the tireless hum of the massage chair.
Tomorrow is destined to be another day of being forced to work.
...........
The next morning, the sunlight had just fallen on the glazed tiles of the Cloud Top Manor.
The restaurant in the main building of the Su family was already filled with a tense atmosphere, as if they were sending their children to war.
Su Ming sat at the dining table, looking at the mountain of bottles and jars in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
He casually mentioned, "I'm going to the Dark Forest dungeon outside the city today, to solo it."
Then, the entire Su family was in an uproar.
At this moment, Su's mother, Lin Yue, was dressed in an elegant and luxurious morning dress, directing seven or eight maids to move box after box of potions that shimmered with colorful light onto the table.
"Son, this red bottle contains a premium life-restoring potion, and it's strawberry flavored. I had someone add sugar on it so you wouldn't find it bitter."
Lin Yue picked up a bottle of medicine that looked as bright as a ruby and handed it to Su Ming with a concerned expression.
Su Ming's lips twitched slightly.
Superior Life Restoration Potion?
This bottle of medicine is a life-saving miracle drug that can buy a house outside. Usually, only high-level professionals who are on the verge of death would be willing to drink a bottle.
His mother actually added sugar because she was afraid it would taste bitter?
"Mom, I'm just going to a beginner dungeon. The monsters there can't even break my defenses. Do I really need to bring so many?" Su Ming tried to protest.
Lin Yue's eyebrows immediately furrowed:
"Nonsense! What if? What if you fall and scrape your skin? Listen to your mother, take it with you!"
"And this blue bottle is a premium magic reversion potion, sea salt and mint flavored. It tastes like sparkling water. Drink it like a beverage when you're thirsty, don't be stingy with it."
Looking at the priceless potion, Su Ming could only nod helplessly and accept it.
At this moment, Su Zhiguo walked in.
He looked exceptionally energetic today, fiddling with a simple, antique-looking ring that emitted a faint spatial fluctuation.
"Son, I heard you're going to run a dungeon?"
"Honey, the medicine tastes good, but... have you thought about how to take care of our son?"
Su Zhiguo walked up to Su Ming and said.
"Dad, I won't tell you, I won't tell you."
My dad casually tossed the ring over, as casually as if he were throwing a pull tab.
Su Ming instinctively caught it: Dad, what is this?
Su Zhiguo sat down with an air of nonchalance, took a sip of his morning tea, and said:
"I don't see you've prepared a backpack. It'll be tiring to carry all those medicines and snacks by hand."
"This is a Supreme Space Ring that I bought at an auction a few years ago. The space inside isn't very big, maybe only a thousand cubic meters, enough for you to store your personal belongings."
A thousand cubic meters...isn't that big?
Su Ming looked at the ring in his hand, feeling it was a little too hot to handle.
An ordinary spatial ring with ten cubic meters of space could buy several houses; if this ring were taken out, it would probably fetch an astronomical price.
"Thank you, Dad. This is definitely much more convenient."
Su Ming didn't stand on ceremony and simply put it on his wrist.
After all, as someone who aspires to a relaxed lifestyle, it's best not to carry a backpack.
Su Ming swept all the strawberry, mint, and even braised beef flavored energy blocks on the table into his spatial ring, then stood up to prepare to set off.
"Where's my sister?" Su Ming asked.
Su Zhiguo waved his hand:
"Your sister went to clear the area for you early this morning. She said there are too many strangers in the Dark Forest and the air is bad, so she went to pave the path for you."
A warm feeling welled up in Su Ming's heart, but at the same time he was a little amused and exasperated.
Is this what it feels like to be pampered by your whole family? You even have to clear out the entire area in the next beginner dungeon.
……
An hour later, Su Ming arrived at the entrance to the Dark Forest instance outside Shanghai in the Su family's bulletproof hovercar.
