"Hey, I have to stop chatting with you for now, another group just arrived, and there should be a target in here!"

Black Crow jogged to catch up with the main group, leaving Su Ran all alone back where he was.

"Tsk, has a girl, forgets his bro."

Su Ran clearly saw Black Crow merge into the crowd, strategically positioning himself surrounded by women, all of whom were pretty. No wonder he was so eager, he was about to enjoy some serious charm.

"Careful not to choke!"

Su Ran cursed fiercely and followed but decided to hang back at a distance, seeing an opportunity to sneak into the Demon Tower.

"Hey, look, doesn’t that guy behind us look like Overturning Water God?"

A player accidentally noticed Su Ran trailing behind the group and quietly asked his teammates, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Damn, he’s here too? So do we even stand a chance in this Hidden Map anymore?"

"No way, such a small place and it attracts a big shot? That really devalues it, doesn’t it?"

"What a mess, with this guy’s outfit, I’ve seen at least a hundred people dressed like this! Now seeing a black robe makes me wanna puke, and you’re still taking it seriously, thinking anyone in a black robe is a big shot?"

"Haha, true, I was too nervous. Even if he is a big shot, what can he do, outdo us brothers?"

"Exactly, as long as we brothers stick together, we can surely break gold!"

As the players chatted, they eventually stopped talking about Su Ran altogether. They were busy boasting to each other, becoming more and more exaggerated. Though that’s what they were saying, it still gave Su Ran a good laugh.

"Charge!"

"Don’t push, don’t push!"

"Damn, who touched my butt, I’m a dude!"

"..."

At that, everyone was shocked, especially the male player behind the speaker, who felt as if he had been immensely humiliated. His face flushed red as if he wished he could just disappear into the ground.

After this little interlude, the players quickly became more orderly, consciously lining up in a long queue to avoid any more inappropriate touches.

Su Ran, being at the very back of the line, naturally didn’t have to worry about being crowded. About two to three minutes after the group of players had entered, he steadied his heart and boldly stepped into the Demon Tower’s grand door.

"Huh?"

Just as Su Ran entered the first floor, he was surprised to find it was not as crowded as he had expected. There was no clashing of weapons. Below the central pillar, a three-meter square hole had been broken open. Most of the players had already jumped into it, rushing towards the mysterious teleportation array.

The first floor’s Undead Skeletons were quite diligent, still trying to guard the space. When they saw Su Ran, they shook their bony swords and charged at him threateningly.

Su Ran really wanted to take off his Illusion Demon black robe and tell these brainless dopes he was an ally, but seeing the other players waiting to enter, he quickly dismissed the idea.

"Swoosh."

With a summoning gesture, Su Ran called forth ten Shield Skeletons. They didn’t attack but pushed the Undead Skeletons aside, clearing a path for Su Ran to advance through.

"Damn, one-time summoning so many skeletons? My God, this is really Overturning Water God!"

The sight of Su Ran summoning the skeletons caught another player’s eye, who couldn’t help but exclaim in awe, his expression as thrilled as if he had seen a superstar on TV.

"Damn, it really is!"

"Spilt Water bro, we are all your die-hard fans, take us with you!"

The three players no longer hurried to jump down, instead they hurriedly caught up with Su Ran, hoping to get a head start under his aura of strength and seize opportunities in the Hidden Map.

"We’ll talk about this later; I need to do a quest now, and it’s not on your way."

Su Ran pointed to the transport formation on the first floor and outright rejected these players’ requests.

"A quest? Is it a hidden quest? Can we tag along and get some benefits?"

One sharp-faced player responded very quickly, while the other two hadn’t even had time to understand, he had already taken the chance to keep talking.

"Your levels are restricted, and you can’t access the fourth floor. You can’t handle this quest."

Su Ran waved his hand at them as if to end the conversation, stepped into the transport formation, and disappeared from their sight.

"Ah, Spilt Water god, the second floor has been taken over by Tiger Supreme..."

The skinny player hadn’t even finished his sentence when he realized that Su Ran had already teleported away.

"Why bother with such nonsense? With Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’s skills, those motley crews in the Tiger Supreme guild really aren’t worth his glance! We’re lucky, he didn’t interfere with this hidden terrain, and actually left the opportunity to us. Let’s go quickly, if we delay further, we might not even get the leftovers~!"

"He’s such an enigmatic man, feels so familiar. If I were a woman, I’d definitely be mesmerized to death by him!"

The player dressed as a Healer didn’t rush to move, but instead showed a fascinated expression, looking in the direction of the transport formation, his eyes twinkling, just like a die-hard fan.

"Come on, man, are you serious? You’re even reacting down there! Damn, stay away from us!"

"..."

Su Ran appeared on the second floor, and before he could clear see the situation, a strong sense of danger erupted from the bottom of his heart. His scalp exploded, and without time to think, he instinctively bent his body and rolled away from his original spot.

At the same time, a fierce ax light chopped down, striking where Su Ran had just been standing.

At this, Su Ran broke out in a cold sweat, grateful for the decision he had made.

Only then did he notice, a skeleton warrior stood right beside him. He was fortunate to have reacted in time; otherwise, he would have faced grave danger of being split open!

"Go!"

Ten skeleton shield warriors blocked the ongoing attack from the skeleton warrior, while Su Ran himself seized the time to run toward the third floor.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, stop right there!"

A roaring shout exploded like muffled thunder, causing Su Ran to stumble in fright.

"Hey, what a coincidence, everyone’s leveling up here?"

Following the source of the sound, Su Ran noticed that dozens of players were leveling up in this space. They stopped fighting skeletons and stared straight at Su Ran, their expressions turning very expressive.

Being stared at by so many eyes made Su Ran feel somewhat uneasy, and he couldn’t help but say, "Just go about your business, no need to be so courteous. I’m just here to ’soy sauce,’ I’ll be leaving soon."

"What a character, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained! Are you really being naive or just pretending? The brothers from Tiger Supreme haven’t even come for you, and you show up on your own, haha!"

A warrior player walked quickly toward Su Ran. Su Ran recognized him; it was Taciturn, whom he had dealt with several times before.
