All was quiet through the night, and soon it was a new morning.
Wang Zhifan woke up earlier than usual this day, perhaps because his personal attributes had improved, his need for sleep was diminishing, and he could be energetic without sleeping as long each day.
"I feel like I ate too much at the buffet yesterday. I'm not hungry at all now, so let's just get started."
After a quick wash, Wang Zhifan, who usually went out for breakfast and took a short break before entering a dungeon, felt particularly good today. He skipped that step, fully geared himself up in his rental room, and directly initiated his mind to call up the player panel and chose to enter the dungeon.
As was his usual experience, once Wang Zhifan initiated the dungeon, his figure quickly disappeared from the rental room, and when his Spirit recovered from a moment of disorientation, he found himself on a barren desolate ground.
At this moment, he was surrounded by various rocks and weeds, with the only noticeable things being his two female teammates not far away who still looked slightly dazed, and something hanging on a dead tree over a hundred meters away.
"This time, there are actually two female teammates... It's the first time I've encountered such a situation."
Fully armed, Wang Zhifan, wearing a wolf-hide armor, equipped with the Frenzy Bracelet and Fury Gloves, a Fine Layer handgun in his left hand, and a Rare-Level Wolf-Slaying Blade in his right, along with the Chapter of Obscurity, Ape King's Fury, and Unyielding Ring accessories, and wrapped with an Iron Mountain Belt at his waist, thoughtfully looked at his two female teammates two or three meters away.
In his previous dungeon experiences, although he had encountered female teammates, the number of times he teamed up with females was noticeably fewer than with males, and female teammates also seemed weaker in terms of strength. This gave him a slightly ominous feeling.
About a second later, under the calm gaze of the fully armed Wang Zhifan, as the two female teammates recovered from their initial dazed state after entering the dungeon, the objective for this run flashed before the three of them.
[Dungeon Objective: Kill the nearby Poison Fang Spider (Lv4).]
As soon as this dungeon tip appeared, before Wang Zhifan could even start discussing team strategies, one female teammate suddenly cried out in alarm:
"Spider?! Where's the spider?! I'm most afraid of spiders! Please don't let it be a spider!"
This was a young woman dressed in office attire, who, judging by the handgun in her hand, should be in the gunner profession. When she discovered that the dungeon BOSS was a spider, she immediately fell into a state of fear, starting to panic in place, looking both left and right, seemingly wanting to find its location but too afraid to do so.
"The spider is on the tree over there."
Watching this teammate's panic-stricken reaction, Wang Zhifan oddly felt a bit relaxed in his heart. Then he raised his hand and pointed to the dead tree over a hundred meters away.
At that moment, on the withered tree not too near, a creature with eight legs, no smaller than a human size, was hanging from a few threads on the branches, its posture suggesting that it might at any moment drop to the ground and charge over here with its eight long legs.
"Ah!!!"
With Wang Zhifan's helpful pointing, the panic-stricken female teammate dressed like an office worker turned her head to glimpse at the gigantic spider hanging on the dead tree and immediately let out an eardrum-piercing scream. Then her body weakened, and she collapsed decisively to the ground.
"Goodness, just fainted straight away."
Wang Zhifan was not particularly surprised by this teammate's reaction, as he had begun to understand the reason why the dungeon was arranged this way.
"Are you a newbie?"
He then shifted his gaze away from the currently fainted woman, looking at another woman who, though her body trembled slightly, maintained a basic level of calm without screaming or fainting.
This woman appeared similarly young, in her twenties, seemed to be a gunner too, but her attire was slightly outdated, wearing a thick, dark long coat and pants, suggesting she might not be from an urban area judging by her demeanor.
"Y-Yes, this is my f-first... dungeon run."
The slightly countrified young woman became a bit nervous under Wang Zhifan's questioning and answered while her body continued to shiver slightly.
"Hmm... then stay here, don't move. I'll handle the monster."
Upon realizing that the only currently capable teammate was entirely a newbie, Wang Zhifan lost interest in continuing to converse with her, deeming it a waste of time which was unnecessary at this point for him.
"For a Lv2 like me to carry these two teammates to fight a Lv4 BOSS, this dungeon sure is cunning... but I guess I can understand it somewhat..."
After experiencing the attribute boosts from yesterday's Gray Realm cave, Wang Zhifan had gained a new level of confidence in his strength, considering that a Lv2 player with an average attribute value close to 30 might be hard to find a second one in this world.
He then calmly approached the distant dead tree, gradually getting closer to the spider on it, which was still significantly larger than a person. The Wolf-Slaying Blade in his right hand started pounding the ground to stack buffs, and his Fine Layer handgun in the left hand suddenly lifted, aiming directly at the big spider and pulling the trigger!
Boom!
The Fine Layer handgun fired a shot of Fine Layer ammunition with considerable power, and once the bullet hit the large spider hanging on the tree, its orange oval body, covered with half a foot of long fur, exploded in a massive splash of dark green liquid. Simultaneously, the dungeon BOSS screeched in pain, dropping to the ground in a blink of an eye. Its eight legs, each over two meters long, sprinted with a blur, rushing like an arrow towards Wang Zhifan, leaving a long trail of dark green liquid along the way.
However, Wang Zhifan, with his Frenzy and Fury buffs fully stacked, boasted a strength attribute of 35 and agility attribute of 28, his speed far surpassing the human limit. Even though the Lv4 Poison Fang Spider burst into speedily pursuing and biting at him, it couldn't touch him at all. Wang Zhifan skillfully moved in circles like a cat playing with a mouse, leading the spider to run all over. The green fluid from its wounds spread across the ground, yet the gap of seven to eight meters between them could never be closed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
During the chase and fleeing, Wang Zhifan even had leisure to keep shooting at the big spider. Thanks to his extraordinarily high agility, he realized his marksmanship had improved significantly, achieving a hit rate of 60-70% even under such constantly moving conditions. This was something he never dared to imagine before.
Hence, about three minutes later, as Wang Zhifan debated whether to fire the last bullet in his handgun's magazine, he noticed the severely battered big spider suddenly kicked its eight legs and, because of its grievous injuries, perished outright, its entire body swiftly dissipating into smoke and vanishing into the air.
