Chapter 38 Encountering Beauties

The group of three quickly arrived near the teleportation array. A group of more than ten people were gathered around the array, all surrounding a hot-bodied beauty in blue armor as if she were the moon surrounded by stars.

"Yu Lan-jie, they're here," Yao Yao said, walking to the beauty's side.

The two beauties complemented each other, creating a breathtaking sight.

"Am I having a lucky day? Meeting beauties when I go out, so pleasing to the eye, so pleasing to the eye," Tang Yao muttered under his breath. This guy was a born lecher who would never change. He liked looking at beautiful women, but he also understood that most of them wouldn't give him a second glance, so he just looked.

"Hello," Yu Lan greeted Nie Yan and Tang Yao, sizing up Nie Yan. Although he looked a bit young, he was very steady, calm, and composed. More importantly, he exuded a decisive aura. Yu Lan had seen her fair share of people, and Nie Yan clearly possessed the qualities of an expert in her eyes. As for the fatty next to Nie Yan, she couldn't see anything special about him.

"Hello," Nie Yan nodded. Yu Lan's azure armor perfectly outlined her model-like figure. The hollowed-out area at her chest revealed a deep cleavage. She exuded a fatally seductive wildness. Undoubtedly, Yu Lan had the best figure of any woman Nie Yan had ever seen. Add to that her pretty face, and she was simply deadly.

However, Nie Yan wasn't interested in her.

Tang Yao's eyes were glued to her. Compared to Yao Yao, Yu Lan was clearly more his type.

"Be careful, this beauty is someone even I wouldn't dare to provoke," Nie Yan messaged Tang Yao privately.

"Y-you, hello," Tang Yao greeted Yu Lan a little awkwardly.

Nie Yan was shocked. Tang Yao often couldn't control himself in front of women, and was naturally outgoing. For him to be shy today was unheard of. Has the sun risen in the west?

"Let's get ready and go to the dungeon together. We can talk about things on the way," Yu Lan always valued efficiency and didn't want to waste any more time here.

"As we agreed before, I'll be the leader, and everyone will listen to my arrangements," Nie Yan said, looking at Yu Lan with sharp, firm eyes.

"Yes," Yu Lan nodded and turned to the other members. "I'm disbanding the team. Nie Yan will invite you in a moment. He'll be the leader from now on, so listen to his arrangements!"

The members immediately started whispering amongst themselves. They were unfamiliar with Nie Yan, and they were reluctant to listen to the commands of a stranger.

"Yu Lan, why should we listen to him? What if he doesn't know anything and we all get wiped?" The speaker was Chen Bo. Nie Yan's close relationship with Yao Yao made him feel a sense of crisis and generated strong hostility towards Nie Yan.

Nie Yan wasn't completely unfamiliar with Chen Bo. He was said to be Yu Lan's classmate and was very close to her. He had been pursuing Yu Lan, but then he met Yao Yao, and things got even more chaotic. He liked all beautiful women and didn't know whether to pursue Yao Yao or Yu Lan. He treated Yu Lan and Yao Yao as his private property and didn't want anyone else to get close to them. But Yu Lan and Yao Yao didn't like him, so he didn't get either of them. He was just a young master who fell in love with every pretty face but had no real ability.

In his past life, this guy was a tragedy. In this life, he met Nie Yan, and it seemed he was still doomed to be a tragedy.

"You are?"

"My name is Chen Bo."

"Chen Bo, oh, so you're Brother Chen Bo," Nie Yan said, drawing out his words as if he suddenly understood.

"I said, my name is Chen Bo, Chen as in the Chen next to the ear, Bo as in erudite," Chen Bo said impatiently.

"I'm saying Chen Bo, am I wrong?" Nie Yan asked Tang Yao innocently.

Tang Yao could clearly see that Nie Yan was trying to mess with Chen Bo, and he was already laughing uncontrollably in his stomach. He suppressed his laughter and said, "That's right, you're not wrong. It's Chen Bo." Tang Yao even emphasized the words Chen Bo.

But the smiles in Nie Yan and Tang Yao's eyes clearly said that they were talking about a different Chen Bo.

Even someone as dense as him would understand. Yao Yao's cheeks flushed, and she glared at Nie Yan reproachfully. This guy was too bad, making fun of people like that.

Most people were very reserved in front of Yao Yao and Yu Lan. Nie Yan was straightforward and frank, which didn't cause her any aversion. On the contrary, she felt that Nie Yan wasn't like Chen Bo and the others, who were two-faced and too hypocritical.

Yu Lan also couldn't help but smile. Seeing that Chen Bo was about to be provoked, she quickly played the peacemaker and said, "Forget it, it's just a joke. Nie Yan, start the team."

Nie Yan sent team invitations to all the members, including Chen Bo.

Chen Bo vaguely showed signs of anger.

Nie Yan restrained his expression and said solemnly, "From now on, I'm the leader. While I'm inviting you to the team, you must obey orders absolutely. If anyone disagrees, you can settle the score with me later. If anyone doesn't want to join, you can leave at any time. We can find other people. If anyone messes around or is insincere during the team, even if we get wiped in the dungeon, you'll be the ones who suffer. 20% experience, I'm afraid it'll take a while to level up."

As Nie Yan spoke, his sharp gaze swept across the room. He had the aura of a leader, and no one dared to meet his eyes. The members discussed it and clicked accept.

System: Yu Lan has joined your team.

System: Yao Yao has joined your team.

System: Mineral Water has joined your team.

...

Nie Yan was very imposing. Yu Lan looked at Nie Yan, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes. Perhaps Nie Yan could really lead them through the Treant Forest dungeon.

Yu Lan said sternly, "From now on, Leader Nie Yan's orders are my orders. If anyone doesn't obey or leaves, that person will no longer be in our team."

The members immediately quieted down. Yu Lan's order was extremely strict for them. After teaming up for so long, they were very familiar with each other and had established good friendships. If they left the team, where would they go? Even if they found a new team, how difficult would it be to find a twenty-person team that could take on the Treant Forest dungeon!

Chen Bo looked slightly dissatisfied and was about to say something.

Yu Lan shot him a sharp glance, and the words he was about to say were choked back.

System: Chen Bo has joined your team.

"Now that we're all teamed up, don't blame me for kicking anyone who doesn't obey orders. Our goal is the same, to clear the dungeon together, all for those few pieces of equipment. If we succeed, we can get more equipment. If something goes wrong, everyone will lose 20% experience. If anyone sabotages us in secret, the whole team will hold them accountable. The people next to you are your teammates! There's no need to go against your own people. If I don't command well and make mistakes, I'll give you ten silver coins as compensation!" Nie Yan scanned the room, staring at Chen Bo.

If it weren't for the Featherfall Gem dropped by the Expert-level Treant King, Nie Yan wouldn't have bothered coming.

Many players in the team were very dissatisfied with Nie Yan, but they had to admit that Nie Yan was right. If they insisted on going against Nie Yan, it would be like going against their own people, hurting others without benefiting themselves. What was the point? They could only listen to Nie Yan for now. If Nie Yan didn't command well and made mistakes, Nie Yan offering to compensate ten silver coins was already generous.

"We've already wiped twice in the Treant Forest. It's not uncommon to wipe in a dungeon. Even the elite teams of those big guilds wipe often. We're going to the Treant Forest as a process of exploration. As for the ten silver coins, we can't possibly let Brother Nie Yan pay," said White Water, the main shield-bearing warrior in the team, who was fairly impartial.

The members echoed him, and their impression of Nie Yan changed somewhat.
