The three new members unanimously agreed that this LV.5 beginner instance was simply hellish difficulty for players like themselves who had only passed one trial map, making it utterly impossible to clear.
Of course, they unanimously ignored the special circumstances of their guild leader, the big shot.
Wen Nan sat on the sofa, thinking of another layer—
He also didn't think Shi Fei could successfully complete all five mainline tasks.
Because the fifth task was to completely destroy that chip in the furnace. If Shi Fei had really cleared the level, then what was that thing he had in his storage ring now?
There was only one explanation— the tasks Shi Fei received weren't the same set as theirs at all.
Sure enough, Shi Fei was surrounded and attacked by the other three players, unable to help defending himself: "This instance may be a bit difficult, but it's not that terrifying. After all, it's still a beginner instance, even if it's the last mainline task, isn't it just %¥#฿&£!"
The latter half of Shi Fei's words, no one understood.
With everyone else staring blankly at him, Shi Fei was stunned, and his face turned a little pale.
Everyone quickly realized that he had triggered a spoiler warning in his instance and had been privately warned by his system.
No one expected that even though they had all cleared the instance, there could still be issues with spoilers?
Sitting on the sofa, Wen Nan saw this scene, smiled, and confirmed his guess was correct.
The matter passed just like that. Wen Nan looked at Shi Fei and asked another question: "Your experience points settled halfway and triggered the Reversal Star Array, but those points had already been added to agility. Can you level up now?"
If he could level up, Shi Fei would be the first player in the Wenna Guild, apart from the guild leader, to reach the bronze rank, and he would have his first talent skill.
If that were the case, as guild leader, Wen Nan felt he should offer some necessary guidance on the selection of talent skills to ensure it maximizes guild benefits.
However, under the hopeful gaze of his 'leader,' Shi Fei paused, brought up the attribute panel from his mind, tried a few things, and then shook his head, "My system says talent skill activation can only occur at the instance refresh point. We can't do it here in the game hall."
Looks like it can only be discussed the next time they enter an instance.
Wen Nan knowingly nodded.
For the first time, the members gathered together, seeing that the guild leader had no more questions to 'interrogate', they began forming small groups and started chatting excitedly.
Wen Nan squeezed through the crowded group to Guo Xiaofu's side, patting him on the shoulder, "Come up with me for a moment."
Suddenly being called by the guild leader for a private talk, Guo Xiaofu was nervously apprehensive, obediently following Wen Nan up the stairs.
Yu Shujun saw the two going up and abandoned the two brothers he was with in his hands, silently following them upstairs.
Wen Nan sat comfortably again in the corner on the second floor, and then asked: "Do you know why I called you up here?"
Guo Xiaofu lowered his head, his tongue a bit tied, "I do, a little bit, guild leader."
Wen Nan lifted his chin.
Guo Xiaofu voluntarily replied, "Is it about that thing I promised to hand over to the guild leader when I joined?"
Wen Nan thought, not bad, he still remembered.
Previously, when Guo Xiaofu applied for membership, Wen Nan took a glance at his lv1 level and pitifully low experience points, and immediately recognized that given his total experience points, it was impossible for him to have passed the trial map through normal means. Otherwise, even if he barely passed each task, one map couldn't possibly leave him with just thirty or forty experience points.
At that time, in order to hand the puppet over to Wen Nan, Guo Xiaofu gritted his teeth and agreed that he would definitely hand it over after leaving the map.
Now that everyone had cleared the level intact, Guo Xiaofu naturally had no reason to renege on his promise.
Although Guo Xiaofu was hesitant when first applying to join, now Guo Xiaofu was determined to follow the big shot wholeheartedly.
When the guild leader spoke again, he naturally had no reason to refuse and immediately confessed: "Guild leader, that item is temporarily stored in a storage cube in the game's official Daily Necessities chain store. Is there a direct passage from our current teleportation point to that chain store?"
The game's official large chain stores all have direct passages to all officially distributed teleportation points.
Their little house, though small, has all necessary facilities.
"Of course there is," Wen Nan recalled the place the NPC had explained when bringing him over earlier, then quickly pointed to a storage cabinet beside, "That one, just step inside directly."
Guo Xiaofu immediately nodded, "Okay, guild leader, I'll head over right now. Wait a moment, I'll get the item and come right back."
Saying that, he slipped into the storage cabinet, stepped onto a circular platform below, spun his body once, and quickly disappeared from sight.
Wen Nan leaned against the corner wall, bored, staring at the half-open door of the storage cabinet.
"Boss! We got a few crates of liquor from the booze shop delivery! Beers, whites, reds, we have them all! Come down for a couple of drinks!"
They now had teleportation points and didn't need to personally go to official shops to buy things. They could directly order through the system online, and the shop would deliver items instantly, more conveniently than any real-world delivery service.
Wen Nan tilted his body to the side, peeked his head out from the guardrail, and spotted Huang Yan at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at him with a grin.
Wen Nan asked, "Where did you get the money for takeout?"
The question instantly froze the grin on Huang Yan's face, "Ah... well... it seems... it's charged to the guild account…"
Wen Nan helplessly chuckled, waved his hand at him, "Alright, it's on the guild, go ahead and drink, take it easy, don't get drunk. I have something to explain later."
Although their break was not short, recruiting the next ten members phase should still be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Huang Yan responded, holding a beer as he left the staircase landing.
Wen Nan returned to his seat, and just then, something banged against the cabinet door in front, popping it open.
"Leader, help... help out... this thing... is too heavy, I... I can't lift it alone..."
Guo Xiaofu's voice came from the cabinet, immediately followed by him wriggling his backside out of it, hands struggling to haul something out from inside but failing.
Wen Nan stood up, went over to give him a hand.
An entirely snow-white round plump object suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Seeing that unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar shape, Wen Nan was startled.
Wen Nan pointed at the round machine, and the machine sensed his finger movement, making its two little light-like bean eyes blink at the center of the upper disc.
"You used this thing to pass the trial map?"
