【Thread: The Cat Cafe dungeon has been locked down and upgraded. What on earth happened?!】
【1L: I just got out of the training grounds. Can someone explain this to me? Dungeons can actually upgrade?】
【2L: Not just upgrade. Did you not see the last line of the announcement? The game's world is about to change completely.】
【3L: I know a little bit. Word is that the hot new rookie Witch triggered it, along with Nuo and Siren.】
【4L: It's not just “rumor,” it's true. I watched the entire live stream.】
【5L: The Witch's and Nuo's personal live streams were open the whole time. They only shut down after the main quest was completed.】
【6L: Screen recordings, please! Anyone have the full screen recording?】
【7L: The screen recordings are already uploaded. Just search for “retribution array,” “cat statue,” or “coffee plantation live stream.”】
【8L: Just finished watching. I'm back.】
【9L: All I want to say right now is, what kind of monster is that Witch?】
【10L: Same question. Is she really a rookie?】
【11L: Before the Rookie Leaderboard updated, she was indeed a rookie.】
【12L: She drew an array of god-knows-what rank all by herself and directly restructured the core rules of the dungeon?】
【13L: I'm more interested in her abilities. Fire, blades, healing, creation, arrays, dark magic... what on earth is her Talent?】
【14L: There's no way she has multiple Talents, right?】
【15L: Then what could her Talent be? All-Powerful Witch?】
【16L: She's not just all-powerful; she's absurd. Beyond absurd.】
【17L: Watching her draw that array, as a C-rank Array Master, I almost fell to my knees. My mentor can't even match that level of magic output stability.】
【18L: Don't flatter yourself, poster above. Cen Yao's array is clearly no ordinary array.】
【19L: The main point is that while drawing the array, her magic was depleted at least three times!】
【20L: I saw that too. Every time she was about to collapse, she drank a recovery potion I've never seen before.】
【21L: That potion is definitely not something you'd find in the Game Mall.】
【22L: Well, obviously. Could any common recovery potion instantly allow someone on the verge of collapse to continue drawing an array?】
【23L: And she used three of them in a row with no obvious side effects.】
【24L: Where on earth did she get such high-tier recovery items?】
【25L: It could be resources from her real-world family, or maybe a special product of her Talent.】
【26L: Whatever it is, being able to pull out three potions of that caliber is terrifying in itself.】
【27L: She really intended to turn that coffee plantation completely upside down.】
【28L: I declare Cen Yao the most terrifying rookie of the year.】
【29L: What do you mean “of the year”? Since the game's arrival, she's the only one with an SSS-rank rating in a special dungeon. That alone is enough to solidify her position as the strongest rookie.】
【30L: Don't hype her up too early. She's only C-rank.】
【31L: She's already like this at C-rank. Can you even imagine when she reaches A-rank?】
【32L: I dare not.】
【33L: Reporting in as a fan of Lady Witch! If you haven't watched the stream, go watch it now! Cen Yao is both powerful and smart. More importantly, she's so gentle with small animals!】
【34L: She's not gentle; she sent the manager off to have nightmares.】
【35L: Ruthless to the wicked, gentle to innocent lives. Is there a problem with that?】
【36L: No problem at all. Lady Witch is the best!】
【37L: Lady Witch is the best!】
【38L: Lady Witch is the best!】
On the forum, discussions about Cen Yao were overwhelming.
Some analyzed her abilities.
Some analyzed her gameplay in the dungeon.
Some speculated on which reclusive clan she came from.
Others edited the footage from her first dungeon together with the Cat Cafe footage, slowing it down frame by frame in an attempt to find the core of her true Talent.
But the more they studied her, the less they understood.
She seemed capable of doing everything.
Yet none of her abilities seemed to have reached their true limit.
Flames were not all she had.
Arrays were not all she had.
Nor were healing, creation, curses, or dark magic.
This unknown quality only made more players feel wary and curious.
Meanwhile, Zhu Lingxi's popularity was not low at all.
【Thread: Does Sister Nuo's Nuo God Talent have a natural suppression effect on soul-type dungeons?】
【1L: I just finished watching the stream.】
【2L: The part where Zhu Lingxi summoned the deity was so sacred and mysterious. It was so cool.】
【3L: I didn't even dare to breathe when she took off her mask.】
【4L: Sister Nuo usually looks so soft, but once she puts on the mask, she completely transforms into a different person.】
【5L: “When people face hardship, Nuo appears. When the Nuo opera begins, all illnesses fade.” This Nuo God is so cool. She really lives up to being from a reclusive clan.】
【6L: I cried so loudly when she was soothing the souls.】
【7L: When she said “Do not fear” to those small animals, there was a genuine sense of compassion.】
【8L: Our little Lingxi is so cute. I want to gobble her up.】
【9L: ? Poster above, be normal.】
【10L: I am normal. I just want to be with little Lingxi forever.】
【11L: Reported.】
【12L: I want to become the Nuo God mask so I can be her support and stay with her forever.】
【13L: Are you Sister Nuo fans all a bit unhinged?】
【14L: Thanks for the compliment.】
【15L: She's only nineteen, right? Already C-rank?】
【16L: I heard she's a successor of the Nuo opera in the real world.】
【17L: No wonder she was so steady when sculpting the divine statue. That cat statue is truly spiritual.】
【18L: I cried when I saw her carving scars onto the cat statue. “Imperfection is not ugliness.” I'll remember those words.】
【19L: Sister Nuo isn't a god. She's just constantly working to bring the divine will down to the mortal realm.】
【20L: Poster above, well said. Say more.】
In contrast, the discussions surrounding Pei Tinglan were far less friendly.
【Thread: Did Siren just get carried in this dungeon?】
【1L: Let me start by saying that I admit Cen Yao and Zhu Lingxi are both very strong.】
【2L: But Pei Tinglan is an A-rank player ranked eighty-ninth on the Peak Leaderboard. He went into a dungeon with two C-rank rookies and ended up with the third-highest contribution?】
【3L: Isn't that just getting carried?】
【4L: He controlled the staff during the day and found live stream equipment for them.】
【5L: What kind of highlight play is that?】
【6L: Is this all a Peak Leaderboard player is capable of?】
【7L: Didn't people used to hype up how powerful the Siren's song was? Why didn't he sing much throughout the entire dungeon?】
【8L: He's also in a wheelchair. He was definitely dead weight, right?】
【9L: Poster above, don't cross the line.】
【10L: Did I say anything wrong? The two rookies were risking their lives while he just sat on the sidelines and watched.】
【11L: Are you guys blind to the fact that he controlled all the staff in the plantation?】
【12L: How hard is it to control a few ordinary NPCs?】
【13L: Lmao, ranked eighty-ninth on the Peak Leaderboard and got carried by rookies. The Siren filter is completely shattered.】
【14L: Maybe he was slacking off on purpose.】
【15L: He's always been a lone wolf. He probably just isn't used to teamwork.】
【16L: If he's not used to teamwork, he shouldn't leech off the special dungeon rewards.】
【17L: The first-place winner got the Permanent Team Card. What does it have to do with him?】
【18L: Don't forget, if it wasn't for Siren, Cen Yao and the others wouldn't have been able to start the live stream during the day at all.】
【19L: But that was the Witch's plan in the first place.】
【20L: He really didn't have any highlight moments this time.】
【21L: An A-rank powerhouse having no highlight moments in a C-rank dungeon is indeed a bit embarrassing.】
【22L: Did you all forget that his legs are paralyzed?】
【23L: Dungeons don't care how miserable your real life is.】
【24L: Alright, don't use disability as a get-out-of-jail-free card.】
【25L: A bunch of trash who haven't even stepped into an A-rank dungeon, who are you to judge him?】
