Dungeon Survival: Starting with a Succubus School Beauty

Chapter 17 9999 points for a single attribute?

After getting to know each other, Shuang Ruxue's curiosity immediately took over.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at Zhu Zhuyun, her red eyes flashing with undisguised doubt.

"By the way, Zhuyun, there's something I'm quite curious about."

"Your stats seem pretty high, and your skills look quite powerful too. Logically, finding food in this dungeon shouldn't be difficult, right? How come..."

Shuang Ruxue didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Zhu Zhuyun's face turned even redder, this time purely out of embarrassment.

She scratched her hair sheepishly, and her tail swept hastily on the ground.

"Well... this..."

"Actually... I have incredibly bad luck! Absolutely terrible luck!"

"No matter what I do, I'm unlucky."

Zhu Zhuyun spoke softer and softer, her head bowing lower and lower.

"The caves we found were either empty or full of monsters. The one we finally encountered had fruit, but it was guarded by a group of particularly fierce rats that we couldn't defeat... We couldn't find any clean water either... and we'd already run out of the dry rations we brought..."

Zhu Zhuyun raised her eyes, her emerald-green cat-like pupils filled with grievance.

"I don't even know how long I've been in this godforsaken place. I was exhausted and hungry, and finally I just couldn't take it anymore... so I..."

"puff…"

Shuang Ruxue couldn't help but chuckle softly, then quickly covered her mouth, but her shoulders still couldn't stop shaking.

Looking at the formidable cat-eared girl in front of her, who had nearly starved to death, she found the contrast incredibly dramatic.

Lin Xia's lips twitched as she forced a smile.

An assassin with an S-rank Dark Lord talent almost died because he couldn't find food?

This ordeal...it's truly heartbreaking to hear and tear-jerking to witness.

"Okay, I understand. From now on, you'll have plenty to eat if you come with us; we definitely won't let you go hungry!"

Just then, Zhu Zhuyun's stomach made a very untimely loud "gurgle."

It was exceptionally clear in the quiet underground cave.

"..."

Zhu Zhuyun froze instantly, her entire face and neck turning bright red, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Seeing Zhu Zhuyun like this, Lin Xia still had some doubts, but now was clearly not the time to delve into them.

Lin Xia took out some more food and water and placed them in front of Zhu Zhuyun.

Eat slowly, there's plenty to eat!

Lin Xia spoke in a relaxed tone.

Zhu Zhuyun tried her best to maintain a bit of composure, chewing in small bites, but she still finished her food and water quickly.

"Is that enough?"

"That's not enough, I have more here."

Zhu Zhuyun touched her flat but no longer empty stomach, and a blush of embarrassment rose on her face.

"That's enough, that's enough, I'm full! Thank you, boss!"

"OK."

Lin Xia nodded and got to the point.

"Xiaoyun, you don't seem to be from Earth. How did you get involved in this underground survival game?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun's cat ears twitched involuntarily, and her emerald-like eyes held a hint of matter-of-factness.

"I just came in normally. The underground world connects to all the realms, that's not a secret, is it? But..."

Zhu Zhuyun's tone lowered, and her tail drooped slightly.

"It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. Unless your single attribute reaches 9999 points, the system will prompt you to choose between going to a higher level of the dungeon or returning to the original world... Don't you know that?"

Lin Xia: "..."

Frost Like Snow: "..."

The two exchanged a glance and both saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

9999 points for a single attribute?

This goal sounds utterly hopeless!

However, Zhu Zhuyun's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly dispelling many of Lin Xia's previous confusions about why she could encounter so many strange monsters in the cave.

It even hatched a seven-colored, sky-devouring python egg!

"I see……"

Lin Xia rubbed her temples, trying to process the massive amount of information in this setting.

Lin Xia quickly composed herself, looked at Zhu Zhuyun, and her expression became serious.

"Xiaoyun, welcome to the team. However, there are some rules that need to be clarified beforehand to avoid future conflicts."

Zhu Zhuyun immediately straightened her back, her cat ears perked up alertly, and her tail straightened, looking like she was all ears.

"Boss, you're my savior! I'll obey all the rules!"

"It's not that serious."

Lin Xia smiled.

"The core principle is simple: when exploring the underground caves, you must follow my directions. I have a special method for judging directions that allows me to avoid most dead ends."

"no problem!"

Zhu Zhuyun answered without hesitation, her voice firm and resolute, even with a hint of relief.

"Even if you didn't say anything, boss, I would still follow your wishes! I really can't believe in my luck anymore!"

Zhu Zhuyun had a bitter look on her face, clearly indicating that the previous bad luck had left a deep psychological scar on her.

"very good."

Lin Xia was very satisfied with her straightforwardness.

"That's all for now. We'll add more later if we think of anything else. Relax, we're a team now."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhu Zhuyun nodded vigorously, her tense body finally relaxing a bit, and her tail returned to its natural wagging arc.

Lin Xia said no more, her gaze habitually sweeping over the thick earthen walls surrounding her.

A lucky hint has reappeared.

[Lucky Hint: Dig ahead, and you'll find a decaying orchard shrouded in strange energy.]

(The fruit trees are twisted, and the fruit, while exuding an enticing sweet fragrance, contains highly poisonous spores; touching or inhaling them can cause flesh to dissolve. Countless rotting fruit flies parasitized by the spores are like moving clouds of poison, extremely deadly!)

[Lucky hint: Dig further, and you'll stumble upon a living crystal forest.]

(The beautiful crystal clusters will suddenly erupt, transforming into sharp blades that pierce intruders and release high-frequency shockwaves to shatter bones. The central crystal core can even instantly freeze a person into an eternal statue!)

[Lucky hint: Dig upwards, and you'll fall into a giant slime nest.]

(A viscous green gel filled the cavern, where countless tiny slimes tumbled and split apart. The mother slime possessed terrifying corrosive and devouring power; once trapped inside, not even bone fragments would remain!)

[Lucky Hint: Dig deeper and you'll reach the heart of a silent ancient battlefield.]

(Scattered weapons and armor lie scattered, seemingly safe, but in reality, they are infested with powerful resentment and immortal spirits. Any living thing that steps in will be corroded by an invisible curse, its life force rapidly drained, and it will eventually transform into a new vengeful spirit.)

[Lucky hint: Dig to the left, and you'll find a vibrant kiwi orchard.]

(The fruit trees have a unique shape, with branches laden with glowing fruits of various shapes. They might even grant you strange abilities. But be careful of the crystal vines that guard the orchard. If you pick more than five, they will be awakened!)

[Lucky Hint: Dig to the right to enter a mechanical corridor filled with intricate gear traps.]

(The floor, walls, and ceiling are riddled with deadly traps; one wrong step and you're smashed to pieces. There appears to be a sophisticated mechanical artifact in the core control room.)

Lin Xia's lips twitched slightly after reading these prompts.

This thing is full of surprises!
