Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 96 - 93: Team Training for the Next Instance

Chapter 96: Chapter 93: Team Training for the Next Instance

Joyce looked at him: "You noticed too?"

Ma Qi nodded: "Although these netizens are fence-sitters and trolls, following Josh’s tactics should have earned her a wave of fans. Otherwise, her live streaming room couldn’t have had such high reward points. How many newcomers reach hundreds of thousands of points during their second dungeon run?"

Joyce frowned slightly: "Although some popularity was diverted by other teammates, most of their fans are die-hard, and their points are almost exclusively given to them. So the points in Josh’s live streaming room should solely come from her fans."

"Exactly," Ma Qi nodded, "but in the bullet comments and online reviews, the criticism far outweighs the praise. It doesn’t add up."

Joyce looked at him: "Moreover, in the previous dungeon, Josh did a remarkable job in some areas, yet she was still criticized."

Ma Qi exchanged a glance with him, a mutual understanding in their eyes without words.

Someone is deliberately hiring online shills to tarnish Josh’s reputation, stirring things up in her streaming room and online.

Joyce: "I’ll handle this matter."

"Hold on," Ma Qi stopped him, "don’t rush to handle it yet."

Joyce looked at him in confusion.

Ma Qi thought for a moment: "It might not be a bad thing. Although this child has a stable character, it doesn’t mean she has strong mental resilience. Growing up under criticism from her rookie phase is better than being unable to handle sudden setbacks after becoming famous. Consider it as a way to train her mental endurance. Keep an eye on it, and intervene if it gets too much."

Joyce smiled: "You really have high hopes for her."

Ma Qi also smiled: "She’s definitely a seed player on par with Yuze, worth nurturing."

Joyce nodded: "I understand."

After the official announcement was over, the Mysterious Guild didn’t bother with the trending issues online and directly informed them to prepare for a new dungeon the next day.

Given Josh’s strength, an A+ dungeon should be manageable for her.

Other teammates went back to their rooms early to sleep.

Out of habit, Josh was ready to sit on the windowsill to meditate when she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door, and Yuze stood there, tossing her a bottle of milk: "Midnight snack."

Josh looked at the plastic bag in her hand, opened it, and found it full of easily digestible items.

She was about to thank him, but Yuze had already left.

Josh raised an eyebrow and closed the door.

The things Yuze gave weren’t much, but they were all fresh food.

On Federation Planet, only the lower classes drink nutrients.

The more noble and higher military officers are, the more they consume fresh food.

Josh didn’t understand before, but after she went to the Cultivation World and returned, she knew better.

Compared to nutrient food extracted using machines and so-called scientific technology, naturally grown food is much more beneficial to the human body.

Food that absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, nurtured by the heavens and earth, carries a spiritual and earthy essence.

While scientifically extracted "nutrient ratios" are mere lifeless objects, they maintain human survival, but those who rely on nutrients long-term lack the vitality and energy of those consuming fresh food.

Science can’t explain this spiritual aspect, but humans, after consuming enough nutrients, can gradually notice the difference.

Thus, on mid- to high-level planets, wealthy individuals are increasingly consuming fresh food.

However, the production of fresh food takes a long time and can’t be mass-produced like nutrients, which can yield tens of thousands a day.

As a result, fresh food is very expensive.

The bag of food Yuze gave her costs at least a few thousand silver coins.

She took the food out of the bag; these vegetables, fruits, and chicken were recommended during her health check.

Josh grinned, even though he teased her about her height, but spending time with him, she discovered he wasn’t bad at all.

At least, he was more amiable than his mouth.

Josh sat by the coffee table, eating as she messaged Yuze a "thank you" using Smart Brain.

She opened "Planet Surfing" and logged into her account.

Ma Qi arranged it for her.

He said every contestant has an official account to post daily activities or help promote official updates.

Her profile picture was today’s solo shot.

Josh thought for a moment, posted an update, snapped a picture of the food on the table, and uploaded it with the words: "[Good night.]"

Replies quickly came in below.

"How can you still eat! Get out of the Golden Shit Stirrer!"

"What are you showing off? Think you’re awesome now?"

"Loser, stop embarrassing yourself."

"Hope you choke to death, I’m not kidding."

Josh raised an eyebrow, glanced at the trending topics.

Only then she realized, she was already being bashed to pieces today.

Overwhelming curses, occupying the top five trending slots, all exploded.

#UselessJosh, get out of the Golden Shit Stirrer#

#How much money was paid to get into the Mysterious Guild#

#Josh, Mysterious Guild#

#JoshYuze#

#JoshInterstellar’s biggest dark deal#

She rolled her eyes.

It seems people on the Federation really have nothing better to do.

She didn’t click in to see or pay attention.

After finishing her midnight snack, she sat cross-legged on the balcony to meditate and cultivate. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The time for cultivation is precious and shouldn’t be squandered on these online trolls.

The next day.

Ma Qi gathered the five in the conference room: "Today, you will enter the dungeon. Did everyone rest well last night?"

The group nodded: "Well-rested!"

Only Yuze yawned lazily, looking groggy.

Ma Qi looked at them: "For this dungeon run, I’ve decided to split you for group training."

"Group training?" Rob and Jiang Can had question marks pop up over their heads.

Ma Qi nodded: "I’ve seen the effects of team battles. Building tacit understanding takes time. I’ll arrange for each of the four of you to pair up with Josh to train, starting with Yuze. So this time, Yuze and Josh are in one dungeon, while you three team up in another."

"Oh..." Rob had no objections.

Jiang Can naturally had no objections either.

Ma Qi twitched at the corner of his mouth, looking at the nearby angry Yushi: "What’s wrong with you?"

Yushi looked at him accusingly: "I want to team up with the captain or Little Tactician."

Ma Qi: "Next time."

Yushi had to give it up.

Josh and Yuze drew a horror-themed dungeon.

Rob jumped next to them: "Good thing I’m not on your team!"

Josh and Yuze entered the dungeon.

Next to them, Rob and his group randomly picked another dungeon to enter.

Josh and Yuze selected "Forbidden Nightmare Witch’s Tears", an ancient Chinese-style dungeon, and recently emerged as an A+ dungeon.

Ma Qi looked at them and reminded: "Be careful, this newly emerged dungeon has an ancient background, seemingly modeled after Blue Star’s old society. Due to its long history and difficulty in investigating the information, it poses a greater challenge. You’ll have to rely on yourselves for many things."
