Goblin Fortress.

This is a dungeon for levels 10-19 outside Lin City.

When Chu Ci and Liu Changhe arrived here, there were hundreds of professionals gathered here, most of them level 15 or above.

These individuals are mostly those who failed the college entrance exam last year and remained in Lincheng instead of going to university.

When Chu Ci and Liu Changhe arrived, they immediately drew the attention of these people.

"Well, hello there! Looks like we have a new face. Wouldn't happen to be a high school senior this year, would you?"

"No way, wasn't it only three days ago since the professional awakening this year? How is it possible for someone to reach level ten so quickly?"

"Who knows, maybe we'll have a genius emerge from our very city."

Everyone started laughing. The reason they knew the two were newcomers was because they were wearing masks, unlike everyone else at the scene who weren't.

Chu Ci ignored it, but Liu Changhe looked very unhappy.

"You two, are you high school seniors from Lincheng this year?"

At this time, a man with a cockscomb hairstyle blocked the two people's way.

"It's Chicken Bro, these two are going to be unlucky."

This guy was also a high school senior two years ago, but unfortunately he missed university by one point.

“After that, Chicken Brother stayed in Lincheng all the time. Although he was already level 19, he didn't do the Breaking Realm mission, but instead, every year he liked to hang out at the entrance of [Goblin Stronghold] dungeon, just to bully those students who had just graduated from school and hadn't grown up yet, thus gaining a sense of satisfaction.”

"Although Brother Ji didn't get into college, those who did still ended up being bullied by him, right?"

"I heard this guy blocked a little girl last year, I don't know what he did, but he made her cry."

"Even if it's about Brother Ji, with his strong connections, he wouldn't have been caught and imprisoned by the City Guard."

Those watching the play spoke of Ji Ge's history over the years, and at the same time, they felt sympathy for Chu Ci and Liu Changhe.

"Is something the matter?"

Chu Ci raised her eyes and said.

"Don't be nervous, you two. I'm a good guy." Gēgē smiled kindly.

Qu Yuan and Liu Changhe glanced at each other's colorful cockscombs. Although they didn't speak, their eyes said it all.

"Heh heh, isn't it necessary for a boss to have some unique marks?"

"Gee Gee said, folding his hands together and stroking his comb with them, "How about it, handsome?"

Chu Ci and Liu Changhe looked speechless, but at this moment they could also see that the other party was indeed not malicious. They just didn't know why they stopped them.

"Two young fellas, let me introduce myself. My name is Ji Yuan. They used to call me Brother Ji, but for some reason, I don't know which rascal started it, they started calling me Chicken Brother. " Ji Yuan said with a grimace.

Chu Ci and Liu Changhe said they didn't think you disliked the nickname, after all, you came up with this rooster comb hairstyle.

"What's the matter?" Liu Changhe asked.

"There's something I want to talk about. Can we go over there for a few minutes?"

Kiyoshi pointed to a large tree not far away. Chu Ci pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, he wanted to see what the other party was planning to do.

If they want to get their hands on them, it's the perfect place to take them out.

Soon, the three arrived under the big tree.

"Well, what is it?" Liu Changhe asked, half his body shielding Chu Ci.

To be honest, brother Ji is really having a hard time. I didn't get into college, and that's fine, but after reaching level 19, I got a nightmare-level breakthrough quest.

"I'm just an ordinary-level profession, and they gave me a nightmare-level task? Isn't this sending me to my death?"

"There's no way around it, I just have such bad luck. I can only try to figure out how to do this quest myself, so every year I wait here at the entrance of this dungeon, hoping that someone talented from our city will appear and help me finish it."

“They all say I'm a psychopath because I haven't passed the university entrance exam and am stuck at level 19, just to bully new students. This is bullshit! Am I sick for doing this? If I could level up, why would I stay at level 19?”

Next, Gēgē burst into tears and began to pour out his grievances. Chu Ci and Liú Chánghé finally understood the other party's intentions.

"So you want us to help you?" Chu Ci said.

"That's right, in previous years, high school seniors from our Lincheng had to take at least five days to reach level ten. But you guys arrived on the third day. You must be geniuses."

"Don't worry, I, Ji Ge, have saved some money over the years. As long as you can complete this task for me, I'll give you one million gold coins directly."

Of course, I can't fully trust you either. At least before the college entrance exam, you need to reach level 15 to prove you have the ability.

"Even if the final mission fails, I can give you each 100,000 gold coins as compensation. What do you think?"

Ji Ge excitedly looked at Chu Ci and Liu Changhe. He was suffering being stuck at this level 19 card.

"Though the nightmare-level quest is difficult, we have so many people in Lin Cheng. Just now, there were quite a few players who were even higher level than us over there. You should have a chance to complete the quest with their help," Liu Changhe questioned.

"Brother, you're wrong about this. Think about what kind of people are capable of coming to a level 10 dungeon now?"

"Besides you new players, everyone else has at least been awakened to their profession for a year and they're still coming to level 10 dungeons. What do you expect their combat strength to be?"

"Help? I wouldn't want them getting in my way. This mission is so dangerous, even a small mistake could be fatal. I can't let them risk their lives."

"That's why I found you geniuses," Jiyuan said seriously, "Perhaps there's still a chance that you can help me complete the mission."

"Why do you think we would help you?" Chu Ci said.

"Two million, just help me complete the task, and I'll give you two million gold coins." Ji Ge directly raised the price.

He's not very interested in Chu Ci. Even if he runs a Hell-level dungeon once, two million gold coins isn't a big deal for him.

"But still casually said, 'I'm not interested in money, do you have some spirit?'

"Originally, brother, you're doing well with this mouth, no problem. Just help me complete the task, and the high-grade spirit wine will be yours." Ji Ge said.

Chu Ci didn't speak, only looking at the other person with a half-smile.

Ji Ge chuckled, also knowing that even if the top-grade spirit wine was enough, it wouldn't be as good as two million gold coins.

"Legendary spirit wine, if you had some, I could help you." Chu Ci said directly. This was already considered a rejection from him, after all, he didn't believe the other party had legendary spirit wine.

Of course, he didn't expect the other party to be able to produce an epic-grade spirit wine. Instead, he thought that since the other party had been mixing in the circle of professional players in the city for so long, they might just have news about an epic-grade spirit wine.

"Brother, you're putting me in a tough spot. That's an epic-level spirit wine! I've never heard of anyone having it. But if you want some rare-grade spirit wine, I can get you some after you finish the mission." Chicken Brother said helplessly.

Chu Ci, who had originally intended to leave immediately, paused upon hearing this. "You have rare-grade spirit wine?"

"I don't have any yet, but my mission reward is a rare-grade spirit wine." Saying that, Chicken Brother also showed his mission to Chu Ci and the others.

<<<[Green Shadow Archer]: Nightmare Difficulty, you will be transported to the Green Camp, where there are one hundred rare-level monsters of level 20 hidden. Please kill them all.
