After a brief celebration, the four of them relaxed against the soft sofa, casually chatting about daily life and dungeon trivialities. The atmosphere was light, and the topic naturally fell on Hui Mei, who had just returned to the team.
“Hui Mei, how was your first dungeon? Did you encounter any danger?”
Nuo Ai’er asked. Leinata and Emilia’s gazes also fell on Hui Mei.
Although Leinata had said earlier that she wasn’t targeted by Ka Fei and the first dungeon was simple, it was also possible that her stats were too high, so Ka Fei couldn’t target her. So Nuo Ai’er was still worried whether Ka Fei had set a trap for Hui Mei.
Hui Mei gently shook her head, her small face full of relaxed, innocent smiles. Her tone was flat and casual.
“No, not hard at all.”
“The first game was super easy, just a normal nighttime campus ghost-catching mini-game. I cleared it with no problem.”
After hearing Hui Mei’s description, Nuo Ai’er was slightly stunned, then smiled in understanding.
Okay, it seemed Ka Fei hadn’t set a trap.
Now Nuo Ai’er was completely at ease.
‘That damn green witch probably only targets me, huh?’
If that were the case, Nuo Ai’er would be furious.
Another round of idle chatter…
“Oh, right!”
Then Nuo Ai’er suddenly remembered the crucial issue of rest time.
Nuo Ai’er looked at Emilia. “Emilia, about the rest time…”
“Hehe, I knew you were going to ask that.”
Hearing the question, Emilia instantly straightened her back, hands on her hips, chin raised, full of Guild Master superiority.
Then the young miss confidently began explaining the Guild’s exclusive rules.
“Don’t worry about rest time anymore. All official Guild members automatically have their personal rest duration doubled, uniformly upgraded to a full thirty days of rest, and no Points are required.”
“Such a good deal?” Nuo Ai’er’s eyes lit up, instantly feeling that joining the Guild was a very wise choice.
“But there’s one small mandatory requirement,” Emilia added. “You must voluntarily participate in at least one Guild team instance per month—that means forming a party with any Guild member.”
“It’s a basic Guild mission… Of course, aside from that, you’re completely free. You can still run solo instances like before if you want. Each Guild has its own rules… Well, in my Guild, you can slack off, take breaks, or be lazy if you want.”
In simple terms, for Nuo Ai’er, compared to being forcibly dragged into high-difficulty solo instances that Ka Fei might have rigged, having a fixed rest period from now on was much better.
Oh, and best of all, she could team up with the Demon King Leinata!
Nuo Ai’er: ‘Safe.’
“Oh, and I’ve already set it up,” Emilia continued.
“The exit point and safe respawn location for all Guild members are locked to my private mansion. So no worries.” Emilia looked at Nuo Ai’er.
Nuo Ai’er understood her meaning.
There was no way Camilla could camp her anymore.
“Phew, that’s good.”
Nuo Ai’er let out a long sigh of relief. The heavy stone in her heart had finally landed, and her entire body felt light.
After a while, the four finished their drinks and desserts.
But just then, a server walked over with a tray and placed a snow-capped milk tea in front of Nuo Ai’er.
“Ooh, finally here!”
This was the custom drink Nuo Ai’er had ordered when she sat down. It took a long time to make, but it was finally served.
Nuo Ai’er’s eyes sparkled. She leaned forward slightly, full of joy, eager to take a sip.
But just as Nuo Ai’er raised her hand, her fingertips about to touch the cup, before she could even take a single sip—
“Alright, I’ve said everything I needed to say. But a thousand words can’t compare to experiencing it yourself. So without further ado—” A glint of excitement flashed in Emilia’s eyes.
She immediately opened her Guild authority panel, her movements decisive.
“Okay, party of four. Let’s test out a brand-new team instance right now and kick off our Guild’s first battle!”
The moment the words fell—
whoosh—
Four pillars of pure white teleportation light enveloped the four of them.
Nuo Ai’er: → Huh?! Nuo Ai’er’s pupils shrank sharply. She stared at the untouched milk tea right in front of her, completely stunned.
“W-Wait, my milk tea! I haven’t even had a sip yet—!”
Nuo Ai’er’s protest barely lodged in her throat, not even fully spoken, before the four figures became transparent.
The next second, all four were teleported into the dungeon.
The white light faded. Nuo Ai’er felt her feet on solid ground.
Everything around was pitch black. A cold, mechanical voice rang in her mind.
【Teleporting. Do not move.】
“How could this be?”
Thinking about that untouched milk tea, Nuo Ai’er didn’t want to play this dungeon at all.
