Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Wow, Skeleton Big Brother, when did you get a Guild Establishment Token?”

A Silly Cutie held the token Jiang Cheng gave her, feeling overjoyed.

“Can I really invite whoever I want?”

“Of course.” Jiang Cheng nodded.

“That’s great!” A Silly Cutie’s voice brimmed with excitement.

“Let’s go. We need to exit the dungeon before you can establish a guild. You still need to claim your hidden reward too.”

A Silly Cutie nodded and happily left the team.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to Furywind City players A Silly Cutie, Dharma Demon – Torrential Rain, Qian Chonglang, Yun Xiang, Blood Dancer, Tian Mo Wings, Mo Shenbing, 36D Inflatable, and Qian Shanxue for clearing the level 40 Calamity Demoness dungeon on Hard difficulty.]

[The clear time was 7 minutes 12 seconds, temporarily ranking 1st in the server. They received an extra 5x first clear experience bonus and 5 Legendary Enhancement Stones.]

“Tsk, only 7 minutes 12 seconds and you call that #1 in the server? The Goblin Pursuit needs to be cleared in under 3 minutes to rank first now, right?”

“7 minutes 12 seconds is not bad. The previous record was over 15 minutes. You’re all just too greedy. But how did they get first place?”

“Holy crap, are you guys blind? Can’t you read the world announcement? It’s the Calamity Demoness dungeon!”

“What? Calamity Demoness? Holy sh*t! It really is! How can people already clear the Calamity Demoness dungeon? Isn’t that a level 30 dungeon?”

The world announcement elicited varied reactions. Many players misread it at first glance.

However, when they belatedly realized it wasn’t the level 20 Goblin Pursuit or level 25 Geared Goblin dungeon, an uproar ensued.

“Damn, a 7 minute 12 second clear of the Calamity Demoness dungeon? Are they trying to defy the heavens? What was the previous record again?”

“18 minutes 59 seconds! Actually, more than that. Take a look at the dungeon difficulty too.”

“Dungeon difficulty? Holy sh*t, level 40 Hard? That’s insane! Clearing level 40 Hard in 7 minutes 12 seconds – are they even human?”

“They weren’t human to begin with. Didn’t you see? Qian Shanxue! One of the Twelve Gods. A Silly Cutie, the newly promoted God of Levels. The rest are all legendary players and two major guild leaders. Just…what the heck is 36D Inflatable? Some specially invited cannon fodder?”

36D Inflatable: “…”

36D Inflatable had just passed by that mage player. Hearing those words, he was speechless…

“I’m not some random thing, okay? I was just there to fill a spot!”

“Sigh, not having the strength to match my reputation makes me an easy target for flaming…”

36D Inflatable smacked his forehead, his tone full of melancholy.

“Guild Leader! I’m back!”

As soon as Tian Mo Wings exited the dungeon, he hid his name and returned to Fa Shen Wings’ side.

However, Fa Shen Wings’ expression didn’t look too pleased.

“So you still know to come back?” Fa Shen Wings glared at him coldly. “How was it? Running a dungeon with an all-star lineup?”

“It was freaking amazing!” Tian Mo Wings slapped his thigh.

“Those mechanics, that awareness, that skill – simply godlike. You have no idea how excited we were going in. But then…a hidden mission popped out, scaring everyone. Only that Silly Cutie goddess was especially calm. Later on…”

“Uh…Guild Leader, what’s with that expression?”

Tian Mo Wings finally sensed something was off as he spoke.

He quickly glanced at Fa Shen Wings’ face and was startled.

Just as Fa Shen Wings was about to take out a staff, ready to beat him with it…

Tian Mo Wings preemptively handed over the level 25 purple staff from before.

Fa Shen Wings paused, seeing the staff before him.

Dejectedly, he put away the 39-meter-long greatsword he had just unsheathed. “What do you mean by this? Trying to bribe me?”

“Do you think I’m that kind of person?”

With that said, Tian Mo Wings took the staff back, his face instantly brightening.

As the other guild members silently cursed his shamelessness, he happily caressed the staff.

“My level 25 rare staff is finally back.”

After admiring it for a while, Fa Shen Wings noticed the others’ expressions and coughed awkwardly. He patted Tian Mo Wings’ shoulder encouragingly.

“Ahem…Tian Mo, you did well this time. A 7 minute 12 second clear of the level 40 Calamity Demoness dungeon on Hard difficulty is enough to go down in history!”

“From now on, our Fa Shen Wings guild can be said to have risen! Everyone, give a round of applause to welcome the glorious return of our vice-leader!”

“Yes! Guild Leader is awesome, Vice-Leader is awesome!”

“Vice-Leader! How did it feel to have close contact with Goddess Qian Shanxue this time?”

“Vice-Leader, did you get Goddess Yun Xiang’s autograph?!”

“Vice-Leader, what equipment did you get?”

As soon as Fa Shen Wings spoke, the guild members screamed in excitement.

Tian Mo Wings shook his head and sighed, pressing down his hands.

“Eh, you’re all giving me too much credit. Actually, what I gained the most this time was the realization of just how big the gap is between me and true experts.”

“This experience made it very clear to me that we still have a lot to learn. It’s far from the time to be arrogant.”

“Of course, what I gained even more was experience. This time, my level soared, reaching level 31! I also obtained the most precious thing in my life!”

Hearing Tian Mo Wings say this, everyone tensed up and focused their gazes on him.

Even Fa Shen Wings directed all his attention to Tian Mo Wings.

Could it be that this kid scored with a girl in just one dungeon run?

The Fa Shen Wings guild players all held their breaths, eyes glued to Tian Mo Wings, waiting for his answer.

Then, they saw Tian Mo Wings slowly take out a staff radiating chilling light from his inventory.

Fa Shen Wings: “…”

Fa Shen Wings looked at the level 25 purple staff in his hand, then at the level 30 purple staff in Tian Mo Wings’ hand.

“…” Fa Shen Wings was speechless.

“That’s right, this is the most precious thing I gained in my life from this dungeon – a level 30 rare purple staff! The Bordeaux Staff! It has a magic attack of 150, and also…”

“Hey, Guild Leader, why are you hitting me?!!”

…

“Master, are you there?”

After leaving the dungeon, Blood Dancer anxiously messaged her master Xie Changkong.

However, she was met with silence.

It wasn’t until 5 minutes later that Xie Changkong replied.

“Is it done?”

“Of course it’s done. When your disciple makes a move, is there anything that can’t be accomplished?”

Blood Dancer said arrogantly.

“But I heard from Mo Shenbing that you ditched him? And joined someone else’s team?”

“Uh…about that…Master, listen to me!”

“You have 1 minute.”

“Ah…it’s like this. Master, in that team, I discovered an oddity…a skeleton. I’m not sure if he’s A Silly Cutie’s NPC or what, but he seems to have some ambiguous relationship with Qian Shanxue.”

“You mean, Qian Shanxue went to Furywind City?”
