NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Chapter 167: Tell Me Your Secret

Bloom moved in ease towards the safe tree line. He was closely followed by many, yet he never cared to even glance at them for once.

The moment he reached there, he stopped to watch many monsters blocking his way. "No time to waste here," he muttered before moving fast towards the front while adding, "darkness nihility."

His body instantly vanished, and with his speed he managed to cross most of them until he reached the small hill in the distance.

As he reappeared again, he had to wait for a couple of minutes before reusing the skill. During this time, he watched the army of players trailing him trying to pass the monster blockage in between.

Yet most couldn't beat the monsters and even a lot of them lost their lives in the process. He simply shook his head while moving forward, knowing these players would have crossed with lesser losses if they worked together on solos or in such small teams.

As Bloom crossed the area of crazy monsters, the rest was simple for him. He just evaded the small groups of monsters scattered in his path, and in less than five minutes he finally reached the place Nara updated him with.

"This is a white grade dungeon," he shook his head the moment he noticed the fewer number of monsters standing in front of the dungeon entrance.

"What?" Nara turned to glance at him, "they said it's a blue grade dungeon!"

"See those monsters over there?" he pointed towards the monsters as he added, "their number is below ten, making the number of the inside monsters in each hall around twenty."

"Is this bad?" Jeffrey asked.

"Not bad, but not sufficient," Bloom shook his head before adding, "I could clear the white dungeon using a team of ten or lesser. Let's find somewhere else to hit."

"Coming late and not even asked about your two players," Nara shook her head before adding, "and dare to criticize our select, that's lame."

"Hehehe, are they the two I wanted?" he pointed towards the two fresh faces in the entire group of fifty players. "Come, tell me your levels, classes, and levels," he said while the two were jolted awake from their daydreaming before hurrying to answer:

"Tony, a shield bearer faction and a tanker class, level ten," one with a huge body and two small shields that looked funny next to him said while adding in excitement, "it's an honor meeting you sir. You are a legend."

Bloom just nodded and said nothing while turning his gaze to the other one.

"I'm Horn, a shade son faction, a dark magician class, level twelve."

"Nice to meet you two," Bloom welcomed them before adding, "did they explain your roles?"

"Yeah, I'll just be your level determiner," Tony said.

"I'll be outside watching your backs all the time, don't worry about that sir," Horn said.

"Tony, you are a leveler, not a level determiner," Bloom corrected.

"I never heard of such a term before," Tony casually replied before hurrying to add, fearing Bloom would get mad at him, "but if you said so then I'll be your leveler."

"Good lad," Bloom smiled before adding, "now let's find another dungeon to raid."

"Isn't white dungeon enough?" Tony whispered to Horn who just shook his head in ignorance while Bloom ignored the question as he moved forward.

"Shouldn't we seek this way?" Nara pointed towards the side while adding, "the more we went up front the larger the number of monsters are."

"And the better quality dungeons we will find," Bloom added.

"You seem to know a lot of info about the game," she doubtedly said before adding, "do you have an insider?"

"Insider?" he shrugged as he added, "I'm just a good researcher."

"Better than me?" Jeffrey jumped as he added, "I tend to be this group main researcher and I'm telling you man, there is nothing out there I found close to the amount of info you carry in that little brain of yours."

"Hehehe," Bloom just laughed and said nothing while the two walking beside him exchanged silent glances.

"Do you know many are following you?" Jeffrey suddenly said before proposing, "should we get rid off them?"

"Nah," Bloom shook his head, "kill them and more will just keep appearing," he added before motioning towards Horn, "it's best that we hunt them inside."

"Hunt them?" Nara curiously asked.

"Sure," Bloom smirked, "they aren't the only ones able to attack inside the dungeon after all." He went to silence for a period of time before adding, "in fact we have a great advantage provided that Horn will do his job brilliantly."

"What advantage?" Jeffrey wasn't agreeing with Bloom's vision, seeing it overoptimistic, "being cornered inside while they keep attacking us?"

"No," Bloom shook his head, "the advantage of knowing the true nature and difficulty of the dungeon."

He didn't add more yet he had some tactics big teams in his previous life used to secure their dungeons. The simplest was to hastily finish the dungeon run in time exceeding the estimate of their enemies.

Yet he didn't plan to use this weak and simple way to defend against those enemies. He wanted a deterrent, to send a strong message to everyone.

Coming towards him meant absolute death, and he would clear the dungeon regardless of their pathetic attempts.

So he had a perfect counter to this situation. Instead of being a prey, he would turn to be the hunter.

Their search took a couple of hours, and during this they had to clear up some monsters along the way to kill the boredom they had. Bloom preferred the double horned monsters, as they were easily countered and dealt with no much hassle.

"Finally," he said it with shining eyes when he reached a new dungeon.

"What grade is this dungeon in?" Nara curiously asked before seeing fifty monsters standing with big bodies guarding the dungeon entrance. "They are huge and many!" she exclaimed in surprise.

"At least a gold grade one," Bloom laughed before adding, "let's go, we'll hit this one."

"Hold on a moment," Jeffrey hurriedly stopped him, "are you sure we will hit this one?"

"What's wrong with it?" Bloom asked.

"Nothing, except for being too hard for us to handle!"

"Hahaha, just make sure to execute all my orders to the letter, alright?"

Jeffrey had zero confidence in his choice, the same as everyone here. Nara had to step in to make everyone accept the bitter truth as she said:

"We'll trust you in this, but if we were all wiped out, we'll go back and take those white grade dungeons down," she paused before adding, "I sent you a group invite, just accept it."

"Done," Bloom simply said before turning to speak to the others about the battle formation when he noticed the shocked faces upon each one of them.

"Monster!"

"He had the right to go directly towards that dungeon."

"Never heard someone exceeded level fifteen."

"I heard one sword wielder reached level sixteen a couple of hours ago."

Many of these comments appeared from each one of the team, even Nara kept glancing weirdly at him. "What the hell were you doing exactly at that quest of yours?" she suddenly shouted at him, and he instantly got what was going on from their remarks and whispers.

"Hehehe," he laughed while not knowing what he should say.

"C'mon, spill it out!" she shouted again before adding, "do you prefer it soft or hard?"

He winked at her before saying, "the best way you prefer suits me dear."

"Oh," she laughed while a tinge of redness appeared on her face, "I meant the slap you'll receive from me," she laughed while waving her hand and faking hitting him.

"C'mon, why hit me," he retreated while laughing.

"You rascal! You kept us fixed at the village doing your dirty job while you enjoyed some heaven defying blessing to level up crazily like that!"

"It's not heaven defying," he shouted back, while pointing at one of the team, "he just said someone hit the level sixteen hours ago!"

She had her face changed to show an evil expression. "That player is one of the richest tycoons in the game, paying a lot to make others help in leveling him up fast. You aren't like him, you work alone. Never heard of a solo player reaching this level in the game or even level fourteen before!"

"I did."

"You are a glitch in this game, this is definitely the case here," Jeffrey joined Nara in cornering him while adding, "c'mon, tell me your secret and I'll let you have a girl of your choice to pump."

"I want her," Bloom pointed at Nara who had her face reddened again before shouting: "F*ck off! I'm not for sale! Stop it you two or else"

"Alright, alright, I didn't mean ill here," Jeffrey had a cold feet before adding, "I intended to hire an escort to him."

"Not even this can be offered to this stingy one," Nara harrumphed while Bloom inwardly laughed on her reaction. "She seems to fall for me," he said to himself while loudly saying:

"Let's stop this now, alright?" he pointed towards the dungeon nearby as he added, "wanna know my secret? Fine, I always choose the hardest challenge and go directly for it. Never failed once, and won't fail ever!"

"Say you love to go to the impossible," Nara harrumphed while adding, "this dungeon will obviously wipe all of us out. Don't tell me you can clear it on your own!"

"I can't," he shook his head before adding, "but I'm not alone here, just hear out my words and heed by my orders and everything would be fine."

"Tsk," she glanced at the dungeon trying to find any logic of what he just said. "Sigh, let's try it your way then," she said before smirking, "if this way worked, then we'll start hunting down dungeons crazily until we exceed you. Right boys?" she shouted and a loud wave of shouts came in response.

"You guys" Bloom muttered before shaking his head, "sigh, you are beyond saving."
