Chapter 799: Original: Chapter 497 Cooperation Modified:
"Brothers, mission time!"
In a low-rent apartment in the Lower District of the Royal City, Doghead Gold, squatting in the corner of the living room organizing the loot, suddenly shuddered and shouted.
The ladies sitting on the sofa drinking tea rolled their eyes at him. Chenxi put down her teacup and said blandly:
"Keep it down, we all received it."
"Hey, I’m just excited... We’ve been grinding the Spirit World dungeon until we’re sick of it. We need some different fun."
Doghead Gold got up and walked over, casually picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it, causing Su Keying and Wei Yin to be displeased again.
"Hey hey! That was for Brother Bei!"
The pretty and cute girl Tutu quickly chimed in.
Doghead Gold spat out the tea leaves, clicked his tongue, and sighed.
"Brother Bei, Brother Bei, you only have eyes for Brother Bei. Is your Brother Dog not worthy of drinking this tea? Where’s your conscience? Every time we go to the dungeon, I’m the one leading the charge, protecting you from the wind and rain. What was Brother Bei doing then? Huh?"
"He was dealing damage."
Kuchan Nana thought for a moment, then nodded earnestly.
"Several times he’s already cleared the monsters by the time you rush into the pile of corpses to scavenge for loot. You’re quite quick and skilled at it..."
"How can you slander me like that?!"
Doghead Gold’s voice raised a few degrees, eyes wide, looking like a wronged woman.
"I only have two legs! Grandma! If I’m dealing with this side, I can’t deal with that side. Brother Bei is Sequence Seven, isn’t it normal for him to clear monsters fast... Besides, are you willing to do the hard work of cleaning up the battlefield?"
"Look at him, getting all flustered!"
Wei Yin laughed, holding her sweet tea.
Doghead Gold kicked a stool and sat down, dejectedly saying:
"Brother Dong and Sister Nan have both been promoted to Sequence Seven along with Brother Bei, and I’m still stuck in Sequence Eight. Damn, is this game cursed... If only there were name change cards, I’d buy one for a high price and change my name to ’West Gate Grand Handsome’ to complete the set, maybe that would change my luck!"
He was referring to Dongyang and the newly joined girl Pumpkin. Dongyang’s promotion to Mid Sequence was expected, but Pumpkin’s promotion surprised everyone. They even saw a ’female Polaris’ in her.
"I think if you really want to change your name, you should change it to ’West Eight Dog’, otherwise, losing the title of ’Brother Dog’ would be such a waste..."
Wei Yin played with her ponytail, giggling.
"Damn it, Wei Yin, why are you always targeting me?!"
Doghead Gold clenched his fists tightly, speaking fiercely.
His expression changed, then he panicked, his tone becoming soft:
"You... you don’t like me, do you?"
"Damn you!"
Wei Yin’s originally sweet demeanor instantly changed, she shouted delicately, picked up the newly bought Large Cleaver Mysterious Object and was ready to jump up and chop this fool.
But just then, Dongyang, dressed in an ivory white casual suit, rushed down from upstairs and quickly stopped them:
"Stop, stop! No fighting!"
With the physical abilities of a Mid Sequence Transcendent, he was in front of them in a wink, his burning hands separating the two, adding:
"This is the Royal City! Are you guys out of your minds?"
"Just you wait, little brat. When we’re offline, I’ll have my family’s bodyguards find you. Let’s see if you dare sleep tonight!"
Wei Yin glanced at Dongyang, then put away the Large Cleaver, issuing a threat.
Doghead Gold knew this little rich girl’s family wasn’t simple, but he wasn’t afraid at all, pulling a sarcastic face and replying:
"How many times has it been now? It’s never real. I’m so scared!"
Wei Yin, seeing herself provoked again, was about to make a move when Polaris came in from outside with Pumpkin and Dragon King, looking helpless.
"Alright, let’s get ready and complete the mission."
"Give Brother Bei some face, otherwise your dog head won’t be safe!"
Wei Yin snorted.
Everyone laughed. The team had plenty of entertainment, but the arguments between Brother Dog and Wei Yin were their favorite.
A moment later.
The pro squad entered the Wonderland Lake cabin area together.
The scene here was already different from before.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, in the bright light, everywhere they looked, it was packed with players.
On the lawn, by the lake, around the cabins, and in front of Jack’s statue, all were Circus players, at least two to three thousand people.
"Didn’t expect the ’Mission Hall’ to update silently, increasing the limit from five hundred to ten thousand. Now, no more queuing to log in..."
Honey Pomelo, following the team leader Chenxi, marveled at the lively scene.
"This indirectly proves that the Circus has made another leap forward... I remember when we first joined Jack’s faction, this place was almost empty."
Dongyang shook his head, smiling.
The Horseman chimed in:
"Currently, the number of Circus players has exceeded twenty thousand, all top-tier elites. We need to keep up or we’ll be left behind..."
"Don’t worry, most of our team is already level 50, just waiting to complete the Promotion Task to become Mid Sequence Transcendents."
Doghead Gold reassured.
He then looked at Polaris, pretending to ask nonchalantly:
"Old Bei, you must be close to the level 80 cap, right?"
The others also looked over, curious about Brother Bei. On the leaderboard, no matter how the rankings behind changed, he was always number one. This made them proud but also a bit pressured.
Polaris shook his head.
"Not so fast... Although the experience from the Mysterious Creatures is high, my leveling difficulty is now much greater than yours. Even if I get most of the kill rewards each dungeon, I’m only at level 72."
"Awesome, Old Bei!"
Doghead Gold complimented insincerely.
He winked and made a face, saying:
"You’re close to Sequence Six promotion, right? By then, you might be the first in the server again, sharing the glory with us!"
"It’s tough... I’ve looked for Teacher Jack several times but haven’t found him. The Supernatural Knowledge of Sequence Six is still far off."
Polaris sighed.
"No matter what, you are still the top player on the rankings. Don’t stress yourself out, take things steady. Just being a disciple of Jack is enough to crush most players."
Dongyang comforted him.
Polaris smiled faintly.
Immediately after, the group exchanged supplies in front of the Jack statue, then hurriedly left the Immortal Realm and headed to the location of the quest "Darkness Approaches".

Several hours later.
In a wilderness area southwest of Bright Town.
The Polaris group silently hid behind a small hill, quietly peering at the open ground ahead. There was originally a small ranch there, but now the ground was littered with the corpses of cattle and sheep, covered in blood. A few wooden huts had collapsed and it was a complete mess.
A headless monster nearly two stories tall was "squatting" inside the fence, devouring voraciously. It used its hideous mantis-like limbs to skewer an entire livestock and stuffed it directly into its chest, which looked like interlocking sharp gears.
The "cracked" chest was filled with jagged fangs and nauseating pus. The dead livestock was crushed and ground instantly after being inserted, making a grinding sound.
"The headless Didak..."
Dongyang murmured as he looked at the strange name from his scout, then turned his head and asked the group:
"What’s the plan, everyone?"
"This guy looks tough... the scout can’t even read its information, it’s more than twenty levels higher than us."
Doghead Gold said with a serious face.
At this moment, Polaris shook his head and added:
"Not only that, it’s at least above level ninety, a challenging BOSS... because even I can’t see its information."
The atmosphere grew even more tense upon hearing Polaris’ words.
"Taking down a BOSS of this level is interesting. Should I go back to the guild and call for more people?"
Dongyang suggested with a smile.
"Let’s try first. If things don’t work out, we’ll call for help."
Polaris replied succinctly.
"Stick to the usual plan. Dong and Nan will tank, Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo will take potions and serve as secondary tanks. Dragon King, Tutu, and Nana will support and provide crowd control at any time... Chenxi, Pomelo, Keying, and Horseman, you focus on output. I’ll seize the opportunity to find its weakness and maximize the damage."
"Alright, listening to you, Poli."
"That works."
The others nodded in agreement.
Just as everyone finished checking their weapons and equipment, ready to launch a sneak attack, Polaris raised his hand to stop them.
"What’s wrong, Poli?"
Dragon King asked.
"Someone’s coming."
Polaris turned around calmly. Following his gaze, they saw a group of about ten players walking towards them.
"Candlelight Guild?"
Dongyang murmured with a frown, seeing the information above their heads.
"Sorry everyone, we found this wild BOSS first. If you don’t believe us, I can have my brother send a screenshot as proof..."
The man at the front said in a deep voice.
His ID was "Bleeding Chrysanthemum," and he was a Sequence Seven from the Earth Faction!
Dongyang and the others exchanged glances, conversing in their private channel briefly.
"--I’ve heard of this guild before, it’s only a second-rate guild, but I didn’t expect them to have a mid-sequence... The other players in his team also seem decent, over forty levels. What should we do?"
"--What else can we do, fight them! I’m not giving up this BOSS! This ’I found it first’ nonsense, the one with the strength claims it!"
Doghead Gold typed furiously to express his discontent.
Now, as the backbone of the group, Polaris spoke up.
"No need, it doesn’t matter who found it first. We’re not playing that game... This BOSS is our mission target, we can’t give it up."
The opposing man furrowed his brow, glanced at Polaris and the others, and said:
"I know you, Poli, the top of the rankings, along with other top players... We don’t want to cross you, but we’ve been eyeing this BOSS for half a day and our guild has prepared for hours, investing manpower and resources. It’s not something we can just give up."
"Bleeding Chrysanthemum" took a deep breath.
"How about we cooperate? This BOSS is tough, and numbers bring strength. After we take it down, we can split the rewards based on contributions... Don’t worry, I got a ’one-time contract’ from the Generous Council. We can sign it before fighting the BOSS to prevent any betrayal."
"Hmm..."
Polaris pondered.
He turned back and exchanged looks with Dongyang, Pumpkin, and others, and then had a brief discussion in the channel.
After a while, they agreed with the decision.
It wasn’t that Dongyang’s group was afraid, but the other side’s attitude was decent, and the proposal was fair. Following the "more friends, more paths" principle, they decided to team up.
After all, the Polaris Squad’s goal was not just the rewards... They were tired of the Spirit World dungeon and wanted to try something different.
So, after a few minutes of discussion, taking advantage of the headless monster’s immobility, they silently launched an attack.
Although they had signed a cooperation contract, they still split into two teams to attack separately. As they had never worked together before, maintaining distance was a mutual understanding to avoid dragging each other down.
"Attack!"
As they closed in, Dongyang was the first to shout.
His fists, smeared with Mysterious Objects’ fuel, burst into flames and fiercely struck the leg of the headless insect monster.
With a loud crash, the monster let out a terrifying screech from its chest!
Hiss—
Caught off guard, it staggered from the attack, causing its whole body to collapse to the ground.
The other players followed closely and swarmed up.
