Chapter 148: Hailan Club
"The bonus has increased to eighteen percent?"
"That's a pretty good improvement."
When Zhou Yingting saw that his bonus had increased to eighteen percent on the panel, his face lit up with joy.
He wasn't sure if this increase was due to the dungeon difficulty level or because other people's combat power was far ahead from the start.
But no matter what, reaching an eighteen percent bonus was undoubtedly a good thing.
Retracting his gaze, the waiter on the side brought over the food they had just ordered.
Zhou Yingting invited the two people in front of him to eat, his gaze landing on the mirror beside him.
There wasn't much time left before entering the Polar Survival dungeon.
"If you're locked in and you enter another dungeon, can you avoid being selected into the designated dungeon?"
Looking at the countdown above his head, Zhou Yingting was a bit curious.
"Should I give it a try?"
Looking at the countdown above, there wasn't much time left before the selected dungeon would start.
"Try what?"
Chu Shanshan heard this and looked up at Zhou Yingting with curiosity.
Zhou Yingting shook his head at her inquiry, not revealing a word about the Polar Survival dungeon. After seeing that the two had eaten enough, he drove them to the train station.
Both had come by train, so dropping them off at the station would suffice.
"If you find a Dungeon Scroll of the Battle of the Abyss later, it will be your task to guide us on how to improve our combat power. It doesn't have to be very strong, just enough to get into the top three!"
Dropping the two women off at the station, Chu Shanshan said with anticipation to Zhou Yingting as she got out of the car.
To earn rewards in the Battle of the Abyss, one needed to reach the top three.
Whether they could get into the top three depended on Zhou Yingting's input.
If Zhou Yingting was willing to guide them, they could make it to the top three; if not, they probably wouldn't get any top-three rewards.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting thought about it. Given the entries he had seen before, using Life Praise to enhance combat power shouldn't be a problem.
"Once you find the Dungeon Scroll of the Battle of the Abyss, let's discuss how to improve the combat power within."
Zhou Yingting spoke softly, making Chu Shanshan and her friend nod repeatedly.
Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do here, Chu Shanshan and her friend waved goodbye to Zhou Yingting and turned to enter the train station.
Zhou Yingting watched them leave, then drove back home.
....
"Ding-dong!"
Just as Zhou Yingting got home, the doorbell rang on the side.
Zhou Yingting went to the front, pressed the intercom, and then saw the security guard's figure on the screen.
"Mr. Zhou, there are a few people at the door claiming to be from a local club. They say they want to see you. Should I let them in?"
Club?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting furrowed his brows. What club?
Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly thought of something, his heart subtly moved, and then he shook his head, "Tell them I don't know any club, just refuse them."
With that, Zhou Yingting directly hung up.
He assumed these people likely belonged to some local power.
However, Zhou Yingting had no interest in these powers or their like and wasn't willing to see them now.
However, just as Zhou Yingting hung up, the next moment his phone rang.
The number that popped up was one he didn't recognize at all.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Yingting's brows furrowed even tighter.
Did these guys not realize he had refused so decisively?
Zhou Yingting frowned, immediately hung up the phone.
Just as he was about to toss his phone aside, a sudden furrow of his brow made him look towards the open ground outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
And this glance made Zhou Yingting's expression instantly turn cold.
Clang!
With a crisp sound of a sword being drawn, in the next moment, Zhou Yingting's long sword was already unsheathed.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Yingting aimed his sword at the people outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yingting's eyes locked onto the few people ahead, filled with vigilance.
With his level of strength, he would have noticed ordinary people approaching long ago, it was impossible to be unaware.
And now, having a few people seemingly appear out of nowhere outside made Zhou Yingting's heart skip a beat.
"Hello, we are from the Feng City Hailan Club. It seems that Mr. Zhou's phone couldn't be reached, so we came to visit abruptly, hoping to have a talk."
The leading man, seeing that Zhou Yingting noticed their appearance immediately, was slightly taken aback, then politely smiled at Zhou Yingting.
"People from Hailan Club?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting furrowed his brows tighter, "Even if I don't know you, don't you think it's a little too rude to break into my house like this?"
There was anger in Zhou Yingting's words, which made the people from the club in front of him furrow their brows.
They could also feel it; Zhou Yingting seemed to be quite angry.
However, thinking about it carefully, it was indeed they who broke into his house first.
"We sincerely apologize, this is indeed our fault."
The leading man, seeing Zhou Yingting clinging to this point, immediately spoke with some apology.
"I hope this is the last time. If it happens again, I won't be so lenient."
Having them suddenly break into his home, Zhou Yingting was naturally angry.
Glancing coldly at these people, Zhou Yingting waved his hand, "Alright, now please leave."
"Mr. Zhou?"
Seeing Zhou Yingting looking ready to send them off directly, the leading man was stunned for a moment, then quickly called out.
They were here with a mission; leaving like this would mean coming in vain, wouldn't it?
"I don't care who you are; now you may leave!"
Zhou Yingting frowned, his tone very decisive.
"Aren't you being a bit too unreasonable?"
Seeing Zhou Yingting looking ready to drive them away, a woman behind the man couldn't help but speak up.
As she spoke, she looked at Zhou Yingting with some dissatisfaction.
"You have to know, we are from Feng City's Hailan Club, and the extraordinaries in our club are very formidable, having been in contact with entry dungeons long ago."
"We know a lot about the information within entry dungeons, and also know many ways to resolve entry side effects, and even have means to stay alive inside the dungeons."
"You're just one person, facing our club, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?!"
The woman spoke with a hint of pride on her face.
"I've only been in contact with entry dungeons for two months and I'm already a Tier Three extraordinary, and generally speaking, I don't have many entry negative effects on me."
"I've heard your strength is good, but I imagine the negative effects on you have already accumulated a lot, right?"
"People like you have appeared before, relying on picking some extremely powerful talent entries, things were smooth sailing at first."
"But when those entry negative effects converge, they explode directly in a dungeon, and they died directly inside."
"Our club has a lot of information that we can share with you, as long as you are willing to join our club."
The woman said this haughtily.
Listening to these words, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but show a bit of impatience on his face, "Done talking? If you are, you can leave."
Originally, hearing the leading guy apologize, Zhou Yingting's anger was barely suppressed a bit, but this woman who suddenly appeared made his anger rise again.
"You?"
Seeing Zhou Yingting open his mouth and tell them to leave, the woman's expression immediately changed.
Just when she was about to say something to Zhou Yingting, the leading man stopped her, and then said to Zhou Yingting.
"Since Mr. Zhou is not interested in our club, we will leave now."
Saying this, he nodded at Zhou Yingting, then took out something resembling a staff.
The staff looked like it was made of metal, covered with traces of energy flow.
Seeing him draw lightly in the air with the staff, the space before them seemed like a canvas, directly lifting at a corner.
The leading man saw this and didn't hesitate, stepping directly inside with one foot.
Just as he was stepping in, he seemed to think of something and leaned out to say to Zhou Yingting.
"Mr. Zhou, the Hailan Club welcomes you at any time. You can come find me whenever you'd like."
After saying this, he stepped boldly inside.
The rest also quickly stepped in at this moment.
When all their people had entered this space gate-like thing, the space in front also returned to calmness.
Seeing this, Zhou Yingting frowned slightly, "Is this a demonstration?"
Not leaving through the front door, displaying such a means to him, a large part of it should be a demonstration.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yingting was not concerned about this at all.
"It seems they lack sincerity; they didn't even leave an address. Are they planning to demonstrate, then expect me to find out their club's location on my own and eagerly search them out?"
Thinking about this, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but shake his head.
.....
"It's just him alone, do we need to be so polite to him?"
Outside the villa, the few people who disappeared from Zhou Yingting's place suddenly reappeared outside.
And the woman just appeared, complaining with a bit of resentment.
She really couldn't understand why they were being so polite to Zhou Yingting.
Given the strength of their club, did they need to be so cautious and careful with a newcomer who had just started with entry dungeons for a little over a month?
"No matter what, he is a Tier Four extraordinary, after all!"
Hearing this, Zou Jie said helplessly.
Hearing this, Qi Jinglin frowned immediately, "So what if he's Tier Four? Isn't it because he chose talent entries with particularly high costs that he could advance to Tier Four so quickly?"
"Choosing such entries, how long can he survive?"
"Those with truly strong abilities, they all reach that by taking Three-dimensional Pills, one by one, without side effects!"
