Chapter 83: Are You All Sick?!
The instructors returned.
---
When passing by the large group of new recruits,
they stopped and apologized
for misunderstanding them
about lying regarding military information.
---
"Sorry, I misunderstood you before."
---
"There was indeed a small-scale beast tide over there,
"but it has been neutralized."
---
"I believe it was the main personnel returning from the front
"who happened to pass by and dealt with it easily."
---
"So, you didn't lie about military information."
---
"Also, if you meet that senior in the future,
"make sure to thank him—he saved your life."
---
---
The Recruits' Reaction
After the instructors finished speaking,
the recruits felt relieved
and were deeply grateful.
---
"So it was a senior who took action…
"If not, some of us would have died."
---
---
The Mystery Senior Mage
"That unknown senior must be a thunder mage.
"Those thunder strikes earlier were probably from his skills."
---
"That's right! If we meet a senior thunder mage in the future,
"we must show respect—after all, he saved our lives."
---
---
A Second Savior?
The instructors added:
---
"It wasn't just one person.
"The thunder mage was likely one of them."
---
"The other was a professional
"who could create massive forests."
---
---
A New Quest: Finding the Heroes
After the instructor's clarification,
the recruits were even more excited.
---
"So there were two of them!?
"One could summon a giant forest!?"
---
"This increases our chances of finding them!"
---
"When I find them, I will properly thank them.
"This is a life-saving debt."
---
"That's right! We should keep an eye out.
"If we see a main team
"with a thunder mage and someone who can create forests,
"they might be our saviors."
---
"Thanks, Instructor, for the vital information!"
---
---
The Instructors Depart
The instructors waved their hands.
---
"Alright, that's enough for now.
"Take care and stay safe."
---
"Understood, Instructor!
"Take care!"
---
---
Meanwhile, in Another Part of the Battlefield…
Xu Yan led his four teams,
moving smoothly and efficiently.
---
Every poisonous beast encountered
was mercilessly slain,
and its core extracted.
---
---
A Smooth Operation
Because everything was going so well,
the four teams unknowingly crossed into Area 35.
---
"Wait… I think we crossed the boundary…
"This looks like Area 35."
---
"Hmm… but the rules don't say we can't cross it, right?"
---
"Who cares?
"There are more poisonous beasts here than in Area 36.
"If we help clean them up,
"the other teams should be grateful."
---
---
A New Mystery: Bai Ding's Explosive Luck
Suddenly, someone turned to Bai Ding:
---
"Bai Ding, what's going on with you?
"We've killed nearly 300 disaster beasts already.
"Every single one dropped a core!"
---
"How the hell did you do that!?"
---
"Isn't the normal core drop rate just 30%?
"Why is yours 100%!?"
---
"No wonder Xu Yan was so confident
"that we'd each make millions…
"He might have underestimated it!"
---
"You—
"a stonemason—
"must have some kind of trick!
"Tell us the truth!"
---
---
Bai Ding's Helplessness
Bai Ding sighed, exasperated.
---
"What trick!?
"I have no idea why this is happening!"
---
"Xu Yan said my hands might have been enlightened."
---
---
More Questions
"Enlightened?
"What does that even mean?"
---
"I don't know either!"
---
"Hmph! Fine, don't tell us then!
"You're so stingy!"
---
---
Meanwhile, in Area 35…
This region was densely populated
with dangerous disaster beasts.
---
A team of veteran soldiers,
all around Level 23,
was leading four teams of recruits
in a coordinated effort
to clear the area.
---
The recruits had all chosen
to be led by veterans.
---
Even though their points were reduced,
their safety was guaranteed.
---
---
The Veterans' Dedication
Not only did the veterans fight alongside them,
they also taught advanced combat techniques.
---
The recruits genuinely appreciated
how much they were learning.
---
"If we had gone solo,
"not only would it be dangerous,
"but we'd miss all this valuable knowledge."
---
---
A Masterclass in Combat Movement
The veteran captain
faced two poisonous disaster beasts
and dodged effortlessly.
---
As he moved, he explained:
---
"Watch carefully!
"What I'm about to show you is crucial!"
---
"This is one of the most important skills
"I've learned over the years!"
---
---
Footwork: The Best Skill You Can Learn!
"Many recruits complain that their class is weak.
"That their skills aren't good enough."
---
"But I'm telling you today—
"Positioning is the best skill you can master!"
---
He completely removed his defenses,
dodging every attack
with pure movement alone.
---
---
The Recruits' Amazement
The two poisonous beasts
attacked with high-frequency strikes—
but not a single one hit.
---
The recruits were in awe!
---
---
Final Words Before Disaster
The veteran smiled confidently.
---
"No matter your class,
"never take unnecessary damage.
"Master movement, and it's as good as wearing divine armor!"
---
The recruits erupted in applause.
---
---
Karma Strikes Instantly
BOOM!
---
A poison trap exploded beneath his feet!
---
The veteran captain
immediately winced in pain.
---
His HP dropped rapidly.
---
"Damn it! The beasts here set traps!?"
---
"Well… that's it for today.
"I think I need a break…"
---
---
Xu Yan's Arrival
At that moment,
Xu Yan passed by
with his four teams.
---
The veteran immediately shouted:
---
"Be careful! Don't go any further!"
---
"The disaster beasts here set traps!"
---
"I just stepped on one,
"and the poison explosion is brutal!"
---
---
Wu Dayong's Brilliant Idea
Hearing this,
Wu Dayong grinned mischievously.
---
"Wait… poison damage over time?"
---
"That means constant healing from Xu Yan's fruit…?"
---
He turned to the veteran:
---
"Point out all the traps for me."
---
---
A Series of Explosions
The veteran marked the traps,
thinking Wu Dayong wanted to avoid them.
---
Instead,
Wu Dayong stepped on one!
---
BOOM!
---
The veteran was stunned.
---
Then the rest of Xu Yan's team
stepped on ALL the traps!
---
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
---
The veteran captain lost his mind.
---
"Are you all sick!?"
---
---
