Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 8: Clingy Wolf

Ye Ci chose to hide her ID as usual.

Just then, a golden word 'World' flashed across the screen.

"Congratulations player **** for being the first to complete the dungeon "Icy Cave" on Normal mode, Rewards: 10 gold coins, system prestige 5000 points."

......

"Are they even human!? The game has only just started and someone already cleared the dungeon! What the hell?!"

"Must be an alpha tester!"

"Alpha Tester my ass! Fate never had an alpha release..."

......

A random Human player

"Boss, should we investigate...?"

"It must have been those group of people who entered first. It's just a normal dungeon. There's no need to muster a large force over something like this. Just look for someone to keep an eye out on the situation," a human cleric calmly replied in the private chat after killing off the last monster.

A random Orc player.

"Little Seventh, go check who cleared the dungeon." An orc warrior announced his order through the private chat.

......

Lukewarm Water, who had just ran into the Lycan Black Forest, heard the system announcement and scratched his head. "To think someone has already cleared the normal dungeon... Just who is it?" Then realization suddenly hit him.

The Icy Cave seemed to be within the Elven Forest. If his source was reliable, it should be around the place where he and that Gongzi You had met.

Could it be that.....

Lukewarm Water shook his head, then reconsidered inwardly. "Even if her skills are great and her positioning was good, there's no way she could have cleared the dungeon so fast. Moreover... the system didn't announce that it was a party, so it seems like it was cleared by a solo player. Moreover, she is a huntress... That shouldn't be possible."

Just as he was grasping onto the situation, the external guilds were getting noisy in the voice chats all because of this incident.

Since the game server was just opened, there weren't any guilds created yet, therefore no one was able to use the guild voice chat provided in the game. Due to that, the major guilds were all using an external voice chat system for easy communication with their guild members.

Lukewarm listened to the animated chat within the guild. He had some hunches, but since he wasn't too sure about himself, he'd rather remain silent instead of bringing it up to the guild.

In contrast to the liveliness of his guild, the guild master of Blank Space spoke calmly as he usually did. "If you guys have time to discuss this, why don't you all quickly grind to raise your levels? It's just a dungeon on normal mode. Our target is to conquer the dungeons on Hard and Expert mode."

As a person who rarely spoke in public channel, his single statement immediately garnered the support from all of the players. After chatting for awhile, he switched into the Management channel. "Nine Nights, go investigate the person who cleared the dungeon. Don't forget to identify which guild he is from."

"Roger."

Ye Ci, who had been in the Icy Cave the whole time, had no idea how much of an uproar a single system announcement message had caused in the entire Fate. She just knitted her eyebrows together, studying the few items in her hands.

She had thought that being able to get her hands on a heaven-defying passive skill book like the Strength Conservation would have allowed her to be on the road of fortune. However, reality had proven that an unlucky person like her would not escape the clutches of bad luck so easily.
