Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 850: Simple Answer

SLASH!

”Nice one,” Xu Feng suddenly exclaimed.

”Now how many more are left do we have to kill?” He continued, asking about their current kill count.

While he was asking, Carmen was busy killing another group of monsters that approached them with her Summons.

Seeing how carefree and relaxed Xu Feng was behaving, she honestly had the urge to order her Summons to target him instead.

ʼHow did this even happen?ʼ She cried inwardly.

”W-Why are you staring at me with those creepy eyes?” Carmen covered her chest with her arms. Naturally, she didnʼt think he was being a pervert, but that was precisely why she was afraid.

She would rather him to be a perverted man who wanted to stare at her because of her beauty. But knowing Xu Feng well, he was definitely not the type to be consumed in lust.

If that was the case, then she wouldnʼt even have hugged him previously. No, it was more correct to say that she would have felt immense discomfort when she embraced him.

”Say something and do not hover your eyes around me!” She clamored, feeling wary of his mindset.

And sure enough, her fear came true when Xu Feng suddenly clasped his hands.

”Well, I doubt we need anyone to help us. The secret dungeon never explicitly stated that we must fill up the playerʼs count quota.” He stood up and flashed a wide smile.

”...”

Carmenʼs eyes turned rather lifeless when she heard him. Even a fool could tell that Xu Feng intended to attempt the secret dungeon with just the two of them.

”We could still call for Veronica and Zhao Kai.” She offered a suggestion.

Alas, the suggestion was flat-out denied by Xu Feng.

”Veronica is busy with guiding the representative from the Dark Legion Guild. As for Zhao Kai, heʼs busy in real life for the upcoming City Competition.” He calmly explained.

”Zhao Kai is going to compete in the City Competition?” Alarmed, this information was something new to her. No wonder why she hadnʼt seen him online as of late.

Having been integrated as part of the guild completely, Carmen more or less understood the relationship between the two and that they lived in the same city.

Therefore, Carmen wasnʼt surprised that Zhao Kai was going to participate in the City Competition. Instead, what alarmed her the most was that Xu Feng didnʼt emphasize he was going to join.

If Xu Feng was going to join and compete, then he would have said so rather than mentioning Zhao Kai only.

”I thought you were going to participate.” She inquired, having recalled that he was injured previously because of a brawl with another Energy Force Fighter.

She was informed that the enemy was a high-level fighter. To confront and survive against them goes to show how much skill Xu Feng had.

Thus, by logic, he should have been actively recruited to join the City Competition. Not to mention, Veronica even told her about his move exchange with a fighter at Lumora City.

ʼIs he trolling me?ʼ She wondered silently.

Meanwhile, Xu Feng didnʼt know what was going on with her mindset as he responded honestly.

”I donʼt have the time to go through the ordeal of the City Competition. I was invited, but I told them that the chances of me agreeing were slim.” He shrugged his shoulders.

Almost immediately, Carmen wanted to give him a punch.

Donʼt have the time?

What kind of sick joke was that?

She knew about graded cities and that to advance, one needed to earn a good spot in the City Competition. Not even first-graded cities were spared from the competition and were required to participate to maintain their grading.

Of course, first-graded cities had more leniency as they were given at least 3 chances if they were to fail two times in a row.

However, the possibility of that ever happening was near 0 percent.

”Is Zhao Kai perhaps stronger than you?” Carmen suddenly shifted the topic. This was the only logical explanation as to why Zhao Kai was participating and not him.

Alas, her sudden question irked Xu Feng somewhat.

”Him stronger than me?” He raised an eyebrow and pointed at himself.

”Hell no!” He cried aloud.

”Then whatʼs your deal?”

”My deal is that I need to prioritize the Divine World.”

”But itʼs just a—” Carmen wanted to argue back and say it was just a game, but came to a halt herself. Others might not know, but thanks to Xu Fengʼs subtle hint, she came to realize that the Divine World was not just a simple game.

Despite playing for many hours, she had never felt tired. This was applicable to her real-life body as well. Moreover, she even found her beauty to be enhanced and when she went to do her annual checkup, the doctor actually questioned what kind of supplements she had been taking.

After all, the medical report showed she was more healthy than in the past five years.

”Anyway, it looks like a cat got your tongue. But fret not, you can vent all you want by killing the required monsters to open the secret dungeon entrance.” Xu Feng clasped his hands and turned serious.

Just like that, Carmen was unwilling to converse further, and nodded her head unconsciously and that was what brought them to the current situation.

”Thereʼs still around 20ish more.” She responded after having killed around 80 or so monsters at level 45.

”But are you sure you want to enter the dungeon with just us two?”

”Of course,” Xu Feng mused. He was already determined to either hog all the rewards or forfeit the rewards. Consider it a gamble of all or nothing.

Additionally, on the off-chance that the secret dungeon could be attempted multiple times, then Xu Feng would have won as well.

After all, he could gain valuable information by diving straight in and preparing a team that could counter it. Naturally, the team he chose would be forced to sign a strict contract.

As for why he didnʼt just do it from the get-go… the answer was rather simple. He didnʼt want to spill the news of such a secret dungeon to a third party.
