She had originally thought they were just two “I’m weak, so I’m right” players, forcibly using moral pressure, but it turned out they were two Mary Sues.
Su Luo relaxed her brow.
She was a normal person—why bother arguing with idiots?
These two probably both held ancient Mary Sue scripts for male and female leads.
She knew this kind of script well: the protagonist is always right, and love is above all.
Yun Feibai was clearly struck dumb by their words; he never expected to encounter such “wisdom” in an assessment dungeon.
Honestly, “Xing Xing Bu Kong” had been subtly insulting Su Luo all along, and he was already annoyed enough to want to knock these two noisy people out cold.
But the previous conversation was like a bucket of cold water thrown on him, completely extinguishing his anger.
Right now, all he could think about was getting Su Luo away from these two as soon as possible—their clever brains couldn’t handle the poison of such “wise” players.
At this moment, Su Luo’s thoughts were completely aligned with Yun Feibai’s.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing the fear in each other’s eyes.
Yun Feibai stepped slightly in front of Su Luo, shielding her behind him.
“Go find someone else to carry you. Don’t bother us anymore. Thank you.”
After saying this, he quickly pulled Su Luo forward.
However, he had underestimated the clinginess of a Mary Sue couple.
“Little Fairy” wore an injured expression and said, “How dare you say we’re bothering you? How can you be so rude? You’ve deeply hurt my heart.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than “Xing Xing Bu Kong” chimed in like a duet partner, “How dare you bully my Little Fairy sister! She’s so kind and pure. Why do you bully her?”
Su Luo couldn’t help but think, ‘The bunny is so cute, why eat the bunny?’
By now, the “Little Fairy sister” was already tearful.
Clinging to “Xing Xing Bu Kong’s” sleeve, she pitifully said, “I… I’m fine. Brother Xing Xing, don’t fight with others for me—I’ll feel heartbroken.”
What a delicate, pretentious little white-flower female lead!
Watching their performance, Su Luo inwardly sighed in admiration.
Previously, Su Luo had wondered why they thought she and Yun Feibai were veteran players.
She even considered whether she had done something that gave off newbie vibes.
Now it seemed, in their eyes, everyone except herself must be a veteran.
Yun Feibai glanced at them and remained silent for a moment.
Then he took a deep breath and asked, puzzled, “I already said thank you. Why do you still say I’m rude? Ah! You’ve deeply hurt my heart.”
He then cupped his chest in a “Xizi Holding Heart” pose, looking utterly devastated.
Su Luo was stunned by his theatrical antics.
This was the first time she realized her partner had actor tendencies.
Obviously, “Little Fairy” and “Xing Xing Bu Kong” were equally intrigued—they were meeting another player stuck in the same Mary Sue script for the first time.
“Little Fairy” opened her mouth to explain, “I’m not—”
Yun Feibai quickly interrupted her, unleashing the Little White Flower heroine’s Skill Two—”I’m not listening, I’m not listening, I’m not listening!”
His Skill Two dealt heavy damage to the enemy, but “Little Fairy,” as a standard white-flower heroine, was no pushover and quickly counterattacked, “How can you be like this? You’re cold, heartless, and unreasonable!”
Yun Feibai responded coldly with his Ultimate Skill—”Aren’t you cold, heartless, and unreasonable then?”
At this point, even Su Luo could guess “Little Fairy’s” next line: “But you’re even colder, more heartless, and more unreasonable!”
She shuddered.
She really didn’t want to hear such “wise” dialogue!
Clearly, “Xing Xing Bu Kong” had thought of this too.
He immediately grabbed “Little Fairy” and said, “You’ve been staring at that man for over ten seconds—I’m jealous now!”
Then, like a domineering CEO, he swept the blushing “Little Fairy” into a princess carry and swept her away.
Su Luo widened her eyes in surprise, admiring “Xing Xing Bu Kong.”
She had seen the fear in his eyes earlier when “Little Fairy” and Yun Feibai were about to cast spells, and she thought he’d try to stop them.
But instead, the first thing he said was dripping with romance, breaking the white-flower heroine’s incantation.
Watching “Xing Xing Bu Kong” and Yun Feibai, Su Luo suddenly felt the men’s tactic: only romance can defeat romance!
She admitted defeat.
Thanks to their combined assault, the white-flower heroine’s ultimate attack was successfully halted.
They could continue exploring the map.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
[ Ding, Dungeon started. ]
Almost immediately, a small monster spawned in front of Su Luo.
She quickly stepped back a few paces and began attacking.
Yun Feibai also activated Skill One the moment the monster appeared, engaging it in close combat.
The creature looked like a ghostly flame, but red in color.
The flames formed a head shape with vaguely ferocious features.
In Su Luo’s eyes, this little monster was basically identical to a Halloween Pumpkin Monster.
Its attack was simple: it approached its target and dealt high-temperature damage on contact.
For any melee player, this was extremely annoying.
After Yun Feibai got close, his health began to drop rapidly.
Su Luo had no time to attack and immediately became the dedicated Nanny, focusing entirely on healing Yun Feibai.
With a dedicated healer, Yun Feibai’s health stabilized, remaining firmly in the green zone.
-18, -18, -18…
Attacks hit the monster repeatedly, and soon it dissolved into white light and disappeared.
Yun Feibai breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Luo.
“Next one’s yours.”
Su Luo nodded.
Reviewing the battle, Su Luo did some quick mental calculations and told Yun Feibai, “The small monster has 120 HP, and it deals 2 damage per second when in close contact.”
Yun Feibai received the data and calculated as well.
“I can kill it in five hits, which takes 15 seconds. During that time, I’ll take 30 damage.”
Su Luo continued, “I can heal you 20 HP every five seconds, so that’s 60 HP in 15 seconds. That means we can only handle two small monsters at once.”
Yun Feibai nodded.
“Alright, I’ll go pull the monsters.”
Clearly, both were data-driven players.
This playstyle had clear pros and cons.
The advantage was knowing exactly what to do to maximize efficiency.
The downside was the need to quickly obtain data, and any change could cause errors.
As Su Luo and Yun Feibai moved forward along the path, a system notification suddenly popped up.
Ding, player [“84 Stomach Relief Pills – Li Jiapeng”] has died.
Ding, player [“No Shower Gel Needed” — Chen Nuo] has died.
Su Luo was instantly stunned.
It had been less than ten minutes since the start!
How had two people died already?
Although the dungeon was hard, players should still be capable of fighting at the start.
Could there be some Hidden Danger they hadn’t discovered?
Yun Feibai’s face was grave as well.
Two deaths at the start was very bad news for the other players.
It meant their workload increased.
In other words, tasks originally assigned to those two would now be distributed to them, making their job harder.
Su Luo looked anxiously at Yun Feibai and asked, “Those two seem to have died together. Do you think there’s some secret behind this dungeon that caused them both to die?”
Yun Feibai shook his head, frowning, “I don’t really know. Normally, too many monsters shouldn’t spawn at once at the start. Most players should be able to handle one monster on their own.”
“Could it be that these two were just incredibly unlucky? They met two or three monsters at once, couldn’t heal in time, and got worn down?”
Su Luo thought for a moment and suggested, “Maybe those two players got into a fight, sabotaged each other, and lost control, leading to their deaths.”
Yun Feibai sighed and concluded, “Whatever the case, we just need to be careful.”
Su Luo nodded accordingly.
Suddenly, she looked ahead and said, “Monsters coming!”
The two immediately focused and prepared for the new wave.
This time two small monsters appeared, same as before.
Su Luo healed from the rear while Yun Feibai attacked up front.
-18, +20, -18, -18, +20—their cooperation was smooth.
The dungeon didn’t feel so difficult after all.
After the monsters disappeared, a Red Potion suddenly appeared on the ground.
The map’s floor was already red, and the Red Potion was inside a transparent glass bottle containing red liquid—easy to miss without close inspection.
Su Luo picked up the Red Potion and stored it in her personal space, saying seriously to Yun Feibai, “Let’s keep an eye on the ground at all times. I strongly suspect some players might miss drops because they don’t see them.”
Yun Feibai nodded with a smile.
“Wei Xu Qingling” was a solo player who had already gone through four assessment dungeons.
Although running a dungeon without teammates was difficult, every time she thought of how much trouble her pig teammates caused in the second assessment dungeon, she had no desire to form a team.
Fortunately, her own strength was solid, and her mind was clearer than many who still thought they lived on the original continent.
Although solo, she hadn’t suffered any losses in the first month.
On the contrary, being alone meant others underestimated her, and she was able to play dumb and surprise them, successfully wiping out many two-player teams.
Right now, however, she was searching for a place to rest with a sullen expression.
‘This dungeon was tough—two people had already died right at the start.’
