Chapter 17

It had to be known that the demon lairs outside the city were not like the low-level demon lairs in the academy. The mortality rate was as high as 5%. On average, 5 out of 100 people died at the hands of demon beasts.

Reality was so cruel, unlike games that could be reopened after one died. Just as Xiao Yan’er was communicating with the captain, Xiao Shui had already run to the Level 20 lair impatiently.

“Yo, Su Meng, what a coincidence. You’re also here to farm monsters in the Level 20 nest.”

Xiao Shui said sarcastically.

“It’s indeed a coincidence.”

At first, Su Meng also felt that it was too much of a coincidence. He had already run to the lair outside the city and could even meet Xiao Shui. It was only when Leng Yue told him through telepathy that Xiao Shui was intending to enter the Level 15 lair but changed his mind at the last minute when he noticed Su Meng.

Only then did Su Meng know that there was no such coincidence. In order to attract the attention of the two girls, Leng Yue and Yan Xie, Xiao Shui began to act.

“Su Meng, it’s already past nine in the morning. Are you only coming to line up? When it’s your turn, the sky would have turned dark.”

“Miss Leng Yue, stop queuing up with Su Meng. Why don’t you follow me? I have a VIP card and have the privilege to enter the lair directly.”

As Xiao Shui spoke, he took out his golden VIP card! Everyone in the queue was originally attracted by Leng Yue and Yan Xie’s beauty and were exclaiming with admiration.

However, when they saw Xiao Shui take out the shiny VIP card, their gazes immediately landed on it. This was the VIP card that countless Awakened dreamed of!

Only the big families had VIP cards, and not everyone in the big families had them. Only noble young masters and young ladies had them!

This was also the reason why many talents who had awakened powerful Class were willing to be recruited by the various big families. Firstly, the big families could provide them with generous resources. Secondly, if they obtained the VIP cards of the big families, it would be more convenient for them to enter the lair in the future to fight monsters and level up.

Only when one’s level was high enough could one truly become powerful. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk! Su Meng did not say anything and only quietly watched Xiao Shui acting.

As expected, Leng Yue naturally could not be bothered with Xiao Shui’s invitation. Xiao Shui did not give up and set his eyes on Yan Xie!

“Get lost!”

Although Yan Xie was small, she had a temper.

“Puchi!”

Someone couldn’t help but laugh. Xiao Shui had already suffered a loss. When he heard the mockery, his face turned as purple as an eggplant. When everyone saw that Yan Xie, who looked like a loli, had such a fiery temper, they guessed that she was the kind of young lady with a bad temper. She probably wouldn’t listen to anyone’s orders. However, everyone was quickly slapped in the face.

“Yan Xie, watch your tone.”

Su Meng suddenly spoke.

“So her name is Yan Xie.”

Only then did everyone know Yan Xie’s name.

“Yes!”

Yan Xie said respectfully. What! Xiao Shui immediately doubted himself. He did not understand why the two beauties were so willing to listen to Su Meng!

Everyone felt the same. From the simple clothes of Su Meng, they could tell that the other party was definitely not a rich young master. Then why was the surly Yan Xie obedient to him? And the girl in the purple Tang suit who was like the goddess of the moon was also respectful to him.

Where did this guy come from?

Everyone could not help but have this thought. However, their doubts were quickly answered.

“What? He’s just an ordinary student of Dragon City Academy? That’s impossible!”

“Why not? I heard it from a student of Dragon City Academy at the Exchange yesterday. Not only is he an ordinary student, but his awakened profession is also trash, a blacksmith!”

“Blacksmith? And he just awakened it not long ago? Then where did he get the courage to bring a girl to a Level 20 lair?”

Everyone was getting more and more curious.

“He brought a girl? Bullsh*t! It was clearly the girl who brought him! Do you see the girl in the purple Tang suit beside him? She killed the Level 15 Boss Snake Demon alone!”

“What? It’s actually her!”

“She’s Goddess Leng Yue?!!”

“Damn, kill the Level 15 Boss Snake Demon alone? I’m Level 23 now, but I can’t guarantee that I can kill the Level 15 Boss Snake Demon alone!”

The more everyone listened, the more they doubted their lives. He was clearly a good-for-nothing, but he had two beautiful girls following him and obeying him.

Most importantly, the girls were very powerful. Such good-looking and powerful girls were in high demand wherever they went!

All the big families and rich young masters would definitely fight to have them. But they just had to follow a piece of trash. Was God joking? Just as everyone was doubting life, Xiao Yan’er came to Su Meng gracefully. She thought that Su Meng had tricks up his sleeves, so she wanted to rope him in.

“Su Meng, Xiao Shui is right. If you queue now, you’ll probably have to wait until dark. Why don’t you form a party with me? I have a VIP card and can bring you in directly!”

Xiao Yan’er invited Su Meng.

“Sister, you…”

When Xiao Shui heard this, he looked surprised. Not only Leng Yue and Yan Xie, but even his sister had fallen for Su Meng? Xiao Shui did not understand. Other than being a little handsome, what charm did Su Meng have that made all the outstanding women gather around him?

All the men present revealed envious gazes when they heard this. This was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan’er, and she was so beautiful. If they could obtain the invitation of the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan’er, they would definitely agree immediately.

Just as everyone thought that Su Meng would definitely agree without hesitation, Su Meng acted like an unromantic and insensitive man and rejected her mercilessly!

“There’s no need. I’m in a team with Leng Yue and Yan Xie. I don’t intend to join another team.”

Su Meng explained.

“I see… That’s a pity.”

Xiao Yan’er might not have expected her invitation to be rejected again. She did not feel embarrassed, but she could not help but feel a bit lonely.

“Hmph!”

Seeing that Su Meng had actually rejected his sister’s invitation, Xiao Shui snorted. Then he took the VIP card and his bodyguards and pretended to be smug as he prepared to enter the lair.

He was certain that Su Meng had no power or influence. It was impossible for them to obtain a VIP card. In other words, he could only queue bitterly until dark. However, Xiao Shui quickly noticed that Su Meng was actually following them.

“Why are you following us? Don’t tell me you think I’ll bring you in with me? You’re thinking too much!”

Xiao Shui said.

He wanted to continue saying something to humiliate Su Meng, but Su Meng ignored him and pushed him away. He came to the staff of the lair and took out his VIP card.

“This is a VIP card. May I enter directly?”

Su Meng enquired.
