After waiting for several seconds, when the four players in front of him gradually woke up, the dungeon prompt text slowly appeared before their eyes.
[Dungeon Objective: All surviving players must join a local gang in Paradise City, and all players must accumulate 30 kills of key members and 3 kills of leaders from opposing gangs in the gang conflicts of Paradise City.]
"Itās the Paradise City dungeon! Who among you is a shooter?"
Almost immediately after the dungeon prompt text appeared before everyone, a slightly overweight male player in a blue checkered casual outfit cried out, seemingly familiar with the Paradise City dungeon.
"Iām a shooter."
After the chubby guy spoke, a slightly shorter male player, less than 1.7 meters tall but looking rather sturdy, responded.
"Iām also a shooter, do you have a problem with that?"
Another tall female player, clearly over 1.7 meters, also turned to the person who asked the question.
"Because the Paradise City dungeon is quite suited for shooter classes, havenāt you seen related posts on the forum?"
The chubby male player in a blue checkered casual outfit replied to them with a somewhat surprised expression.
"Oh dear, then Iām in trouble, Iām not a shooter class, Iām a Priest."
The second female player among the five, a medium-height girl with glasses, spoke up with an exclamation.
"So out of the five of us, only two are shooter classes? That brother carrying a knife clearly isnāt a shooter, this dungeon is going to be a bit tricky..."
After hearing the glasses-wearing girlās words, the chubby male player frowned, glancing at a tall, silent young man holding a knife next to him, his tone suddenly taking on a bit of a dejected note.
"What class are you?"
The tall girl who was over 1.7 meters saw this and asked him.
"Iām a Summoner, Lv9, not much help in this gangster and gunfight dungeon of Paradise City."
The chubby player replied with little enthusiasm.
"What about you? Handsome? Are you really a Warrior class?"
The tall girl asked the chubby guy and then turned to Wang Zhifan, who hadnāt spoken at all.
"Yes, Warrior, Lv9."
Wang Zhifan answered calmly, this time unusually speaking the complete truth without inflating his level; he really was Lv9 at the moment.
"Wow, handsome guy, your gear looks pretty good... wearing three, no, four rings! Are we facing a legendary wealthy warrior?"
After Wang Zhifan answered her question, the tall shooter girl didnāt take her gaze off him, noticing that his gear was quite extraordinary, looking both complete and advanced.
"Haha... my gear only looks impressive, but itās not particularly great."
Wang Zhifan listened with a smile and looked at the tall girl, making an ambiguous chuckle.
"I donāt think so..."
Regarding Wang Zhifanās explanation, the tall shooter girl shook her head and then looked at the others, introducing herself:
"My surname is Yan, you can call me Mr. Yan, Iām an Lv11 shooter player with some experience in gunfight-type dungeons. I hope everyone can unite and clear this dungeon quickly so we can return home soon."
Looking at her determined and poised demeanor, she clearly seemed to be a strong woman type.
"Iām an Lv10 shooter class, havenāt tackled this type of gunfight dungeon before, but I donāt think it should be too much of a problem."
The short and sturdy male player continued speaking, his tone not as confident as the tall girl.
"Oh no, am I the lowest level? Iām an Lv7 Priest, Iāll try my best to heal you all!"
The medium-height girl with glasses clenched her fist, showing an anime-like determination.
"Two shooters, one Warrior, one Priest, and one Summoner. To kill 30 key members and 3 leaders, this dungeon setup is a bit tough. Our configuration is not ideal; too few shooters, too many targets, and no Assassin class to conveniently scout the enemy."
The chubby player in a blue checkered casual outfit couldnāt help voicing out at this moment; he was the first among the players to fall into anxiousness.
"Fatty, saying demotivating things before the dungeon starts wonāt do. Iāve heard about the Paradise City dungeon too. From what I know, it generally isnāt too difficult, but our clearance targets this time are indeed unusual... I remember the forum saying that usually you clear by killing one enemy leader, but here itās three. This shows the dungeon considers our comprehensive strength far above average..."
At this point, the tall shooter girl turned to Wang Zhifan with a slightly teasing tone:
"Handsome, it seems like you raised our average strength. Your luxurious gear needs to contribute more later on."
"Iām just a Warrior class, maybe with slightly excess gear, but this dungeon still relies on you two shooter pros. At best, Iāll charge upfront for support."
Realizing the somewhat bold and dominant woman was focusing on him, Wang Zhifan responded with a nonchalant smile, neither too aggressive nor too humble.
"If you indeed can rush forward and distract the enemies, itāll make our shootersā play much easier, and weāll be halfway to success in this dungeon."
The tall girl player eyed Wang Zhifan playfully and then suggested they embark, leaving the deserted, unfinished building.
"If everyoneās ready, letās set off and check out the situation outside, see if we can join a gang."
She then began carefully observing the surroundings to decide which direction to go.
"Let my pet scout the road."
The chubby Summoner player in a blue checkered casual outfit spoke at this point, then, without any special move, summoned a bird-like creature resembling an eagle from nearby, directing it to fly outside the unfinished building.
About a minute later.
"We seem to be at the edge of Paradise City. Going this way leads out of town. Going that way leads into town, where thereās a large shantytown that doesnāt look too peaceful."
The chubby Summoner player quickly reported back after using his pet for reconnaissance.
"Not peaceful is normal; from the forum, Paradise City is known as a hub of criminal activity, with at least a third of the residents being criminals."
The tall girl shooter pondered for a moment before asking the chubby Summoner:
"Can you find us a relatively safe route into town? We should avoid conflicts with NPCs for now. My bullets are limited, better saved for the gang war."
"I canāt guarantee safety all the way, just pick a route with fewer people as much as possible."
The chubby Summoner shook his head after hearing her.
"Canāt we bypass the shantytown? Or is there a gang within the shantytown we can join? Killing anyone is killing anyway."
The short and sturdy shooter expressed a differing opinion, seeming not to want to delve into dangerous areas.
"Itās hard to bypass. My pet saw the shantytown is too vast. Weāre right on its central edge. According to the forumās intel, itās better to join a more powerful gang within town for this task. Otherwise, joining a small, weak gang in the shantytown may lead to facing overpowering enemies."
The chubby Summoner refuted the short shooterās suggestion.
"Then letās take your chosen route. Everyone prepare for combat, with you leading the way. Warrior brother clears the path, we two shooters cover the rear, while the Summoner and Priest girl stay in the middle. How does everyone feel about this?"
The tall shooter girl quickly devised a formation.
"I have no objections."
The short and sturdy shooter quickly agreed since being at the rear is usually safer.
"I agree too!"
"Sounds good to me."
The glasses-wearing Priest girl and chubby Summoner nodded.
Everyone then focused on Wang Zhifan as the Warrior, as the risk of taking the lead is usually the highest, and he might have objections.
But Wang Zhifan was no longer the newbie he was when he first started playing the game, and he responded without much hesitation:
"Alright, Iāll take the front."
