Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1004, Entering the Dungeon Instance Together

With matters having reached this point, naturally no one would subsequently harass the Situ Family over any issues about points. After all, offending the Situ Family and causing them trouble was clearly unwise.

Seeing no objections, Situ Xiong made a welcoming gesture and addressed everyone: “Anyone wishing to compete for a slot may enter now. Once inside, simply kill all the Monsters to the best of your ability. Don’t worry about anything else. Regarding points, we have dedicated personnel to track your scores. There will be no oversights.”

The surrounding people exchanged glances, then bowed respectfully to Situ Xiong before sending their representatives into the Dungeon Instance.

Clearly, following Situ Xiong’s earlier reminder, most people chose to enter the Dungeon Instance Solo rather than in pairs.

Of course, some Families did indeed consider their Players’ Profession Characteristics, recognizing that Solo Clearing would be detrimental, and thus opted for multiple participants to enter the Dungeon Instance.

One Family even sent in as many as three people at once.

Watching as nearly all the Family representatives entered the Dungeon Instance, Lu Fan also made his move.

He took Ye Wuxian’s hand, intending to bring her into the Dungeon Instance together.

But, Ye Wuxian pulled him back, lowering her voice. “What are you doing? Why are you bringing me in too?”

Lu Fan winked at her. “What else? To secure an entry slot for you. If I go in alone, won’t I only be able to claim a single slot? What if there really is an Ancient God inside the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance and I killed it? I’d still have to bring the Ancient God Essence to you before I could help you seize its Divine Seat. That’s so troublesome.”

“What if the Ancient God Essence escapes along the way? They are incredibly cunning. Finding it again won’t be easy. So the best is for you to come with me. If there really is an Ancient God inside, after I kill it, I can directly pass you its Divine Seat.”

Ye Wuxian said. “But I know my own capabilities. I’ll only cause you trouble by entering the Situ Family’s Dungeon Instance. I’ll only be reducing your points by half. Rather than being a burden, I should wait outside while you handle it alone, guaranteeing you at least one slot…”

Lu Fan waved dismissively, interrupting Ye Wuxian. “Don’t worry. Even if the points are reduced by half, heck, even if they’re reduced to one-tenth, this slot is mine for the taking!”

This was not Lu Fan boasting to Ye Wuxian.

He had already seen everyone present was essentially a Fifth Profession Player, and he was a Fifth Profession Player as well.

Between Fifth Profession Players, there were distinctions.

Never mind Fifth Profession Change, even at his Third Profession Change, Lu Fan could clash with Fifth Profession Players.

And now, having undergone his Fifth Profession Change, calling himself invincible under Heaven would not be an exaggeration.

Competing for a slot among a group of Fifth Profession Players… Lu Fan could let them multiply their scores tenfold and still surpass them.

Therefore, bringing Ye Wuxian into the Dungeon Instance together and helping her secure a slot to enter the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance alongside him was simply a matter of convenience for Lu Fan.

Ye Wuxian, however, hesitated, because she did not fully understand Lu Fan’s strength. She only knew that Fifth Profession Players each possessed world-destroying capabilities.

She could not imagine how Lu Fan, while bringing her along and having his points reduced by half, could possibly compete with other Fifth Profession Players.

Just as Ye Wuxian hesitated, the Situ Family servant guarding the Dungeon Instance called out loudly. “Anyone else entering the Dungeon Instance? If not, we’ll officially close the entrance.”

“We are!” Lu Fan called out in response, then pulled Ye Wuxian’s hand, crossing to the Dungeon Instance’s Transport Array in a few steps and directly entering.

Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian were exceptionally young and were the last two to enter the Dungeon Instance. They naturally drew Situ Xiong’s attention.

He made a sound of puzzlement, wondering. “Those two just now. Which Family are they from? Why do they look so unfamiliar to me?”

Beside him, Situ Qianqian quietly filled Situ Xiong in, telling him about what had transpired between herself and Lu Fan’s group earlier.

Situ Xiong understood, nodding. “So, they’re from a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family on the outskirts of the Western Border… Qianqian, you did well. Regardless of their background, our Situ Family should treat everyone courteously. Who knows, perhaps in the future, their Second Tier Ancient Noble Family will soar to great heights, gradually becoming a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family…”

“As the saying goes, ‘thirty years east of the river, thirty years west’. We should never look down on those beneath us right now. Unless absolutely necessary, our Situ Family cannot make enemies of other Families. More friends mean more paths; more enemies mean more walls blocking our way.”

“Father, you’re absolutely right. That’s exactly what I was thinking at the time.” Facing such praise, Situ Qianqian’s face lit up with a smile.

Situ Xiong nodded, addressing the others. “Alright, since the rest are not competing for a slot, please take your seats. The time flows differently in the Dungeon Instance. I believe very soon, the competition for slots will reach its conclusion.”

Following Situ Xiong’s words, everyone returned to their seats to see which five Families would ultimately claim the slots.

…

Meanwhile, inside the Dungeon Instance.

Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian experienced a tearing sensation before arriving within the Dungeon Instance’s Map.

Immediately, searing heat assaulted them, instantly drenching Ye Wuxian in sweat.

Lu Fan surveyed the surroundings, discovering this place resembled a volcanic crater. Everything visible was scorched black, with fissures and cracks scattered everywhere.

Within these fissures, lava continuously churned.

It was precisely the presence of this lava that made the entire Map’s temperature extremely high. An ordinary Third Profession Player would immediately begin continuously losing Health Points and would quickly be Burned alive.

Even Ye Wuxian was struggling somewhat.

Fortunately, she was a Fourth Profession Player, and her Base Attributes were high enough to allow her to maintain her position.

However, one could tell she would not last long in here.

“It’s really too hot in here…” Ye Wuxian wiped away sweat, turning back to look at Lu Fan, shocked to discover that Lu Fan appeared completely normal. Not only was he not sweating, his complexion showed no redness whatsoever from the intense heat.

“Your Endurance Attribute is ridiculous. In such a hot place, you’re acting like it’s still spring…” Ye Wuxian was immediately speechless.

Lu Fan smiled. “Yeah, my Endurance Attribute is indeed somewhat high. Still, I can’t bear to watch you suffer like this. I was the one who brought you in so let me fix it. I’m just a little surprised by how harsh the environment is.”
