Who let him join the Sword Sect?!

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Still Need to Increase Their Intensity

Zhang Ze closed his eyes, recalling the plot of "The Legend of Zhen Huan," trying to find an answer to break the situation.

But after recalling for a long time, Zhang Ze realized he hadn’t actually watched a single episode.

"The Temptation of Returning to the Village"?

Alright, that show doesn’t even exist.

In the end, all that remained in his mind were the various famous scenes of scumbags being dismembered.

’No, before being dismembered, they’d probably be turned to dust in an instant by their brother-in-law.’

Zhang Ze felt a bit unlucky; the key was he hadn’t done anything yet.

Unlike Zhang Ze’s negative acceptance of fate, Li Yueqi was busily explaining the earlier misunderstanding to Chen Qin.

However, the more Li Yueqi explained, the more complicated it got.

After all, she couldn’t talk about matters related to butts, nor about the spanking she just administered.

Chen Qin cooperated with Li Yueqi’s explanation with various responses, until she finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"I’m just messing with you; I heard everything you said earlier."

Li Yueqi looked at the gradually Zhang Ze-ified Chen Qin and didn’t know what to say, sighing.

"I can’t keep up with you guys, you chat, I’m leaving."

Before leaving, she pinched Chen Qin’s cheek as a form of revenge.

After Li Yueqi left, Chen Qin took out a folded paper sword from her sleeve.

"Senior brother, this is the list of the first batch of lucky unlucky people."

Chen Qin flicked her fingers, and the paper sword flew towards Zhang Ze.

This was a family technique passed down from the Chen Family, everyone knew it.

After catching the paper sword, Zhang Ze opened it only to find that the unlucky people mentioned by his junior sister were actually the cultivators who had won free experience tickets for the underground city.

The list was divided into two parts: one for solo challenges and the other for team challenges.

Since the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion had just been established, although it had the Sword Sect as its backing, it still lacked depth.

The Golden Core Stage difficulty dungeon, originally set as the climax, was not open to the public temporarily.

It’s not that they couldn’t create it, but due to lack of experience, Zhang Ze and others couldn’t grasp the strength well.

They were afraid that if the force was too great, it would kill those wild Golden Cores.

So they temporarily only opened Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation difficulties. As a supplement, they also added a team challenge mode.

And the Golden Core Stage difficulty was only open to the Sword Sect disciples.

They’d beta test it first since Sword Sect disciples are more durable, with more solid cultivation than most wild Golden Cores.

Once the difficulty was sorted out, the Golden Core Stage dungeon would be released as a one-year anniversary event.

It could generate another wave of popularity then.

Holding the list, Zhang Ze initially wanted to say it was no big deal.

But after a quick glance, he realized there was something very wrong with the list, nine out of ten.

The problem lay with those in the team challenge.

He saw the name Wang Lin on it.

There are many named Wang Lin, which usually wouldn’t matter, but there were two other names written behind it.

Bai Xiaochun, Li Feiyu.

The three of them formed a team.

Their registered team name was particularly eye-catching, especially amid other rustic names like "First Hammer of Cyan Thorn."

Their team was called "Mortal Thought Reversing Immortality"

This combination of the three names with that team name was just too strange.

"Junior Sister, do you have the list of all the reserved cultivators with you?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Yes, do you want to see it?" Chen Qin asked.

"Yes."

Taking the second list, Zhang Ze looked it over carefully.

Luckily, he didn’t find names like Xiao Yan or Tang Shan.

Or team names like "Breaking the Heavens" or "Blue Silver Entwined."

However, Zhang Ze found Lin Feng’s name.

Lin Feng, Wang Ma, and Li Jue formed a team.

Their team name was "Wind Sound"

They entered the same dungeon as Wang Lin’s team, which was Gourd Cave.

Zhang Ze felt this might be evidence of the principle that destiny’s darlings attract one another.

But this situation was getting a bit troublesome.

In the "I Have an Underground City" series of missions, there is a sub-task: "Ensure that with at least 100 people taking the trials, no one clears any dungeon within the first ten days."

Zhang Ze wasn’t sure if Gourd Cave could contain these living immortals should those three live up to their names.

"Senior brother, what’s wrong?" Chen Qin gently placed the still-sleeping Li on the bed, then came over to Zhang Ze’s side, looking at the list on the table.

"It’s nothing, just thinking about whether to add some difficulty to the dungeons." Zhang Ze tapped the table.

"Really? It’s already hard enough, isn’t it?" Chen Qin thought her senior brother was being a bit harsh.

Zhang Ze shook his head, "Some people need special difficulty, otherwise we can’t deal with them."

Zhang Ze sat down, crossed his hands in front of him, and entered wisdom mode.

Overall difficulty certainly couldn’t be increased; if the game’s values were too rigid, ordinary players would abandon it.

The difficulty had to be made up elsewhere, and the methods couldn’t be too obvious.

If those individuals really were problematic, too obvious methods would be noticed by them.

And even if it were noticed, they couldn’t know it was my doing.

Zhang Ze sorted through everything he had and also perused the exchange section of the system.

Then he found something usable.

The unfortunate Night Demon Emperor Head.

Zhang Ze calculated the time and found it was still possible to prepare.

He took Chen Qin’s hand, "Let’s go to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion."

Zhang Ze, pulling Chen Qin, dashed out, and it was a while before Li awoke from his sleep, groggily looking around the empty room.

"Where did everyone go?

Forget it, back to sleep."

In a more comfortable position, Li hugged his soft pillow and went back to sleep.

...

Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.

The gate was already lively, bustling with activity, though the pavilion itself was relatively quiet.

Zhang Ze also called over Sword Spirit Senior and Mei’Er.

No one knew where Qiao Lezhi had gone, Fuji sent a smaller version to listen in, and at the moment, the little Fuji was soaking in a teacup on the table, meditative.

Zhang Ze explained his plans to everyone.

Other than Lily, whose low cultivation and timid nature left her less enthused, everyone else was quite interested.

This even included Sword Spirit Senior.

"It sounds quite interesting." That was Sword Spirit’s evaluation.

With everything arranged, everyone began taking their respective actions, making final preparations for the underground city’s grand opening.

Zhang Ze was about to follow Lily to the warehouse, but suddenly thought of a crucial question.

"Are there currently any people named Liu Guanyi or with the surname Guyue near Thousand Mechanism City?" Zhang Ze suddenly asked.

"Probably not, why?", Mei’Er was a bit puzzled.

"People with those names might be problematic, and if encountered, they must be guarded against. If necessary, we must ask the Pavilion Master to personally take action." Zhang Ze replied.
