Chapter 216: Chapter 216: You’re the Instance Radar!
Qian Qi cracked her knuckles and immediately began wreaking havoc on the instance forum.
[--Ex-Wife Ran Off with the Money: Hey, have you heard! There’s going to be a new instance on Fucheng Full Moon Street!]
[--What? For real? Where did you get this gossip from?]
[--Ex-Wife Ran Off with the Money: Of course, it’s accurate information from my second aunt’s neighbor’s son’s girlfriend’s cousin who works at the Dungeon Association!]
[--That’s not right! Even though new instances drop on our planet from time to time, the instance forum always announces it first, why would there be gossip about it?]
[--Unless... it’s a C-level instance?]
[--Whoa, if it’s a C-level instance, the property prices in Fucheng are gonna tank!]
Qian Qi originally wanted to say it was an E-level instance, but seeing that a C-level instance would cause a larger drop in property prices, she didn’t correct them. Soon, the news of a new C-level instance appearing on Fucheng Full Moon Street spread among the Awakeners. Qian Qi checked the real estate transaction software and saw that the property prices in neighborhoods near Full Moon Street were indeed trending downward.
However, the drop wasn’t significant. After all, it was just a rumor without solid evidence. Once she unearthed that new instance, with evidence of an instance on Full Moon Street, the property prices would naturally fall further.
After fanning the flames on the forum for a while, Qian Qi finally closed her Light Brain in satisfaction and happily leaned back against her chair back.
"Gaa——" A tragic cry came from the backpack.
Qian Qi: !!!
Oh crap, she forgot! Moyu was still in the backpack!
Su Ang glanced at the rearview mirror, "Junior Qian Qi, what was that sound?"
"Nothing, nothing, just a screaming duck in the backpack!" Qian Qi immediately straightened up and took the backpack off, putting it to the side.
Su Ang gave it a glance and didn’t ask further about why she was bringing a screaming duck into an instance, continuing to drive the hovercar towards Fucheng.
——
Fucheng Full Moon Street.
Qian Qi jumped off the hovercar and was about to say goodbye to Su Ang when she saw him also getting off the car.
"Aren’t you going to tackle the instance?" Su Ang leisurely threw on his black trench coat, his dark pupils staring at Qian Qi, "I’m going with you."
After all, she was the only one who could make Magic Potion and more importantly, save Sikong Wang’s mother, so there was no way he’d let Qian Qi enter the instance alone.
"It’s just an E-level instance, I can handle it." Qian Qi stared at Su Ang warily, muttering under her breath.
"...I’m not going to fight you over an E-level boss." Su Ang said indifferently.
Qian Qi’s rough little face instantly blossomed into a smile, all traces of her previous vigilance gone. "You should’ve said that earlier! Come on, come on! Let me show you the world!"
Having said that, Qian Qi trotted off happily in one direction.
Su Ang shook his head helplessly and followed her.
Following the system’s guidance, Qian Qi entered a neighborhood called Shengshi Court. She looked at the 18 high-rise buildings in the neighborhood and silently swallowed a gulp.
So many people living here, unaware there’s a hidden instance underground. Should she say they’re lucky that the instance breach hasn’t been discovered by Demons all these years?
"Let’s go." Qian Qi, like a commando on a mission, waved her hand and sneakily entered building 12, heading to the parking lot on the second basement level.
[We’re here.] The system stopped at a spot and displayed an arrow, [→]
Qian Qi: ???
Why an arrow to the right?
Qian Qi turned to look and saw nothing to the right of the system except a one-meter-long load-bearing column.
It’s not underground, but inside the load-bearing column?
She placed her small hand on the load-bearing column, swallowing hard, "This is tricky."
"Problem?" Su Ang asked, seeing her staring at the load-bearing column.
"Uh... there’s a bit of a problem, but not a big one." Normally, dismantling a load-bearing column in an underground parking lot would require the property management’s approval, but they definitely wouldn’t tear down a column just because she claims there’s an instance inside it.
So, she’d have to act first and report later~
Qian Qi lightly blew on her middle finger, then gently flicked the load-bearing column.
"Crack——"
Instantly, a crack appeared in the column and with the widening of the crack, the column crumbled into dust that fell to the ground, leaving behind the steel bars "weakly" supporting the space.
Inside the steel bars was a less than one-meter-wide black rectangular instance entrance, like the open maw of a giant beast, so black and deep it made her heart skip a beat.
"Why do I feel like this instance entrance exudes a creepy vibe?" Qian Qi rubbed her arms, inexplicably getting a foreboding feeling.
[Bingo~ Congratulations Boss Qian Qi, you guessed it right~] The system panel bloomed with a white firework, [Welcome to the C-level instance~ Have a pleasant instance adventure~]
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi: ???
"What?" Qian Qi’s small face instantly turned into a scream face, "C-level instance? Why is it a C-level instance? Weren’t we talking E-level instance?!"
The system picked its nose: [Did this system ever say it was an E-level instance? →_→]
Qian Qi: ...
Damn! It really never said so!
No wonder when it talked about gifting her an instance, it always had that sarcastic tone, it had planned all along to gift her a C-level instance location!
Damn it! She’s ultimately outplayed!
Qian Qi held her head, took a deep breath, then turned to Su Ang and said, "It’s a C-level instance."
Since the moment Qian Qi punched out the instance, Su Ang’s gaze at her had changed. Now, hearing her say it was a C-level instance, he grew even more silent.
After a while, he couldn’t help but ask, "Junior Qian Qi, are you... an instance radar?"
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi roared: "I am not!!!"
Betrayed by the system, Qian Qi could only swallow her words. Who asked her to jokingly cry and mess with the system in the first place? She turned her head and glanced at the instance, photographing the entrance and sending it to Tang Yunde.
[Chairman Tang]: ???
[Chairman Tang]: You discovered a new instance again?
[I am your uncle]: What do you mean again?
[Chairman Tang]: There was you at the Chuyun Mountain instance, you at the Yanjiao instance, and now you’re here with this instance too. Are you some kind of instance radar?
[I am your uncle]: ...You’re the radar! Your whole family are radars!
Tang Yunde rubbed his slightly bald head, why is she getting angry now?
[Chairman Tang]: Where’s the address of the new instance? I’ll send someone over to confirm the instance level.
[I am your uncle]: It’s C-level, go ahead and send out the message, I’m waiting for property prices to drop.
[Chairman Tang]: ...
Wait?
After completing the E-level Chuyun Mountain instance, because of the canyon, the helicopter issue led to little increase in nearby property prices, then IKD stepped in and cooperated with us to solve this problem, and back then... Qian Qi was present.
Later, with the D-level Yanjiao instance, Qian Qi’s orphanage just happened to be in an area with appreciating property values.
Now this new C-level instance... she said herself she’s waiting for property prices to drop...
So, is she discovering new instances just to speculate in real estate?!
Who in the world would tackle instances specifically for real estate profit! This is the kind of thing evil capitalists would do ages ago! And even capitalists wouldn’t personally go raiding instances!
Plus, isn’t she jumping too fast from E-level to C-level, what’s next, a B-level instance?!
