C15 Honesty

Upon hearing Beiming Xue's words, the two exchanged a glance and reluctantly handed over their Reincarnation Coins.

"Here you go, my dear lady. Please use them sparingly. Together, we only have 100 Reincarnation Coins. Monster hunting has become too difficult. Maybe it'll get easier after we unlock the dungeon. But that's all we have. If it's not enough, there's nothing we can do."

Qi Tian and Chung Tianya had a combined total of just 100 Reincarnation Coins, indicating their scarcity. However, adding their 100 to Beiming Xue's 400 made just enough to purchase a Devil Energy Crystal Stone.

"That will do. Think of this as a loan from me. Once I've gathered enough Devil Energy Crystal Stones, I'll repay you both."

Chung Tianya gestured dismissively, saying nothing. Given their current rapport, formalities of borrowing were unnecessary. Besides, 100 Devil Energy Crystal Stones were a significant sum now, but in the future, they might easily gather thousands from defeating monsters.

By then, these 100 would be insignificant. If Beiming Xue decided to return the Devil Energy Crystal Stones to them at that point, they wouldn't even need them, considering the wealth they'd have amassed.

"Ding! Transaction complete!"

Beiming Xue took possession of the Devil Energy Crystal Stone and finalized the deal. She admired the stone in her hand, glowing with a captivating blue light, and nodded in satisfaction.

With this Devil Energy Crystal Stone, she could cast her Beginning Level Healing Technique without interruption.

Additionally, the recharge time for the stone was a mere four hours. She could spend her days gaming and slaying monsters, then recharge the stone at night while resting. By the next day, it would be ready for use again.

"Alright, the dungeon has emerged, and there's a substantial reward for the first team to clear it. Shall we give it a shot?"

"Absolutely, we've got to try. Even if we don't make it through, we'll at least get a feel for what's inside."

And so, over ten people ventured into the first mysterious realm created by Lin Tian, completely unprepared.

"Do you want to enter the dungeon?"

"Yes!"

With a burst of dazzling light, Beiming Xue and her companions vanished from the entrance of the secret realm and emerged into a dimly lit world.

True to its name, the secret realm was shrouded in an eerie aura, with visibility severely limited by the faint lighting.

No sooner had they stepped through the entrance than Beiming Xue and her group encountered their first monster in this new realm. Undoubtedly, it was a low-tier Lava Elite Monster at Level 5.

Lava Elite Monsters ranged from Level 5 to Level 7. The Level 5 Lava Elite was the easiest to handle and represented the highest level monster Beiming Xue and her team had defeated thus far.

Despite being aware of the dangers lurking within this enigmatic realm, the immediate encounter with a Lava Elite Monster caused their expressions to darken.

Could it be that all the monsters here were at least Level 5? If so, they might not be able to reap any rewards this time around.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Following a fierce battle, the Lava Elite Monster fell to Beiming Xue and her allies, and they earned the Experience Bar they deserved.

Beiming Xue was on the verge of leveling up. With the defeat of this monster, her Experience Bar was tantalizingly close to breaking through to the next level.

"Hmm, not bad. With both of you joining us, we've been gaining experience much faster. Let's choose one of you to focus on enhancing his strength."

Beiming Xue regarded Qi Tian and Chung Tianya before her and shared her thoughts. Upon hearing her, the two men nearly doubted their own hearing.

"What, what? Focus on boosting the strength of just one of us? What about you?"

Truth be told, they were both taken aback. According to their initial agreement, the split between Beiming Xue and them was 3:2.

That meant Beiming Xue would take three-fifths of the spoils, with each of them receiving one-fifth.

Yet, Beiming Xue's current suggestion seemed to set aside that arrangement in favor of intensively training one of them, rendering the previous tiered system obsolete.

"I'm simply a support nurse, and I'm well aware that I have no real combat power. The higher my level, the more potent my healing abilities and the longer I can sustain you in battle. But as the monsters grow stronger, if your attack power can't keep up, even with my continuous healing, you'll struggle to take down a single monster."

"So, I've decided to prioritize leveling one of you up to Level 5. Once you've reached Level 5 and acquired the Spear Warrior's skills, navigating the dungeon will be a breeze."

Upon hearing Beiming Xue's plan, the pair felt moved. Besides them, the other ten or so people had all been personally recruited by Beiming Xue.

It was expected that Beiming Xue would have these people assist her in leveling up. But now, she was offering this advantage to them, a clear sign that Beiming Xue truly considered them part of her inner circle.

Perceiving the thoughts brewing in their minds, Beiming Xue allowed herself a rare smile.

"Since you've agreed to join my guild, you're part of my team now. The stronger you are, the better my guild will fare. So let's forget the previous reward-sharing scheme. We'll simply boost whoever needs the strength. It's as simple as that."

The two men nodded in agreement, unable to resist such an enticing offer. Yet, they had already resolved to loyally follow Beiming Xue and never betray the guild.

After some deliberation, the opportunity was granted to Qi Tian. The decision was made because Qi Tian possessed a rare green Lava Gem, which promised to significantly enhance his combat power once he reached Level 5.

For the next hour, everyone focused on helping Qi Tian level up. They would weaken the monsters to their last breath, allowing Qi Tian to deliver the final blow and claim all the experience.

In just one hour, Qi Tian advanced from Level 3 to Level 4, with Level 5 now within reach. The group was eager to press on, but they soon faced a new challenge: a Level 7 Lava Elite Monster, which proved to be a formidable headache for everyone.
