Bai Qingxue's single sentence settled the matter, leaving no room for argument.
Having worked with Black Flame before, Bai Qingxue had realized the importance of Life Skills. While their impact on the Divine Realm wasn't huge yet, who could guarantee what the future held?
She wouldn't let a single blueprint for a Life Skill obtained from a Dungeon slip through her fingers.
With Bai Qingxue's approval, the members of the Snake of the Body felt even more confident. They looked at Shi Feng one by one as if he were a fool.
Now that their captain was unwilling, let's see how you act all tough, kid. If you have the guts, go form your own team and tackle Dark Moon Cemetery. That way, they could relax and enjoy themselves.
Shi Feng's brow furrowed slightly. He hadn't expected Bai Qingxue to be so resolute. He didn't know what had happened to hit a nerve with her; she was nothing like when they first met, when there had still been room for negotiation.
Little did Shi Feng know, the one who had hit that nerve was himself.
"Why don't we do this?" Shi Feng suggested, forced to take a step back. "Let the blueprints for Life Skills be auctioned within the team."
Hearing Shi Feng say this, Zhao Yueru covered her mouth and let out a light laugh.
"Ye Feng, stop dreaming," Zhao Yueru's tone turned icy. "Team Dungeons only reset every three days. The blueprints inside are crucial for the guild's development. How could we possibly auction them within the team? If that's the case, we'll just call over a few more Elite members. Then Dark Moon Cemetery will be entirely ours, and we won't have to share with you at all."
Zhao Yueru had made her point crystal clear: stay and don't even think about the blueprints. Otherwise, leave on your own. We won't stop you.
Bai Qingxue didn't stop Zhao Yueru, indicating she agreed with her stance.
"Miss Zhao, please don't be angry. Brother Feng didn't know how important those blueprints were to you. I apologize on his behalf." Hei Zi couldn't stand it anymore. If this kept up, the end result would be a complete falling out. They had finally managed to latch onto the goddess's coattails, giving their studio a chance to advance further. He absolutely couldn't let things end like this.
Hei Zi kept signaling to Shi Feng not to be impulsive and to seize the opportunity.
Shi Feng sensed Bai Qingxue's firm attitude, and it gave him a headache. However, finding another team to tackle Dark Moon Cemetery wouldn't be easy. It was a Team Dungeon after all, requiring a certain level of equipment and trust-filled coordination. And people suddenly brought in might not be reliable, potentially causing more harm than good.
"Fine, we'll do as you say." Picking a fight with Bai Qingxue here would be very unwise. Shi Feng had to give up on this chance. After clearing the Dungeon this time, he'd have to find reliable members to tackle other Team Dungeons.
Seeing Shi Feng agree, Hei Zi breathed a sigh of relief. However, Zhao Yueru pouted in annoyance, secretly lamenting that it was a pity they hadn't managed to drive Shi Feng away.
Bai Qingxue ignored Zhao Yueru's petulance. The time to activate the Dungeon had arrived, and teams from other guilds were already entering one after another. She announced in the team chat, "Let's go in."
Before entering, Bai Qingxue set the Dungeon difficulty to Normal. This way, once everyone passed through the teleportation portal, they would be sent into Normal Mode.
Team Dungeons were like small Dungeons in that they had three difficulties: Normal, Hard, and Hell. When a guild was unfamiliar with a Dungeon, they would always start on Normal to gather intelligence, preparing for the Hard and Hell difficulties.
Now, with various guilds vying for the First Clear of Dark Moon Cemetery to boost their guild's influence among the players of Red Leaf Town, none would naturally challenge a higher difficulty.
One by one, the players entered the portal, transforming into streaks of white light as they were transported into the Dark Moon Cemetery.
Unlike small Dungeons, the map inside a Team Dungeon was vast, often the size of a small town, and some were even as large as a city with a million inhabitants.
Dark Moon Cemetery was Red Leaf Town's introductory Team Dungeon, so its map was relatively smaller.
Different from the Team Dungeons in other virtual games, every Team Dungeon in the Divine Realm focused on finding the exit to leave. As long as you could escape through the exit, it counted as a clearance, and you would receive the corresponding Dungeon rewards upon leaving.
Dark Moon Cemetery was slightly different, mainly because it was players' first time encountering a Team Dungeon, so its difficulty was lower. You only needed to think about one thing:
Survival!
As long as you could leave alive through the exit, you cleared it.
