Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 908: Chapter 907: You Can Get Lost Now

”Awooo...!!!”

With a frustrated howl, the Husky fell again, turning into a pile of fragments and disappearing. At the same time, accompanied by a loud trumpet, the information for opening the route finally appeared in the air, and upon seeing this scene, the players excitedly raised their hands and cheered.

The Husky itself wasn’t actually hard to deal with. Its second transformation merely increased its attack range and it learned to ambidextrously fight, raising its attack frequency, but inversely its damage decreased — which is quite normal. A cut from a sword and a scratch from a fingernail have very different harm indices.

From Fang Zheng’s perspective, this was a very typical ”teaching” Boss. In other online games, most players would be defeated once or twice, figure out the pattern, and pass.

But this is no ordinary online game, it’s a death game.

And that is lethal.

”...Hey.”

As the crowd was cheering, Fang Zheng saw Black Cat slowly walk over with an annoyed look on her face. After looking around to ensure no one was paying attention to them, she quietly asked.

”How much did you see just now...?”

”Don’t worry, just two seconds. Your speed is still quite fast.”

If it were the usual harem anime protagonist, he’d probably be blushing and denying everything incoherently. But is Fang Zheng the typical harem anime protagonist?

What a joke. Does the typical harem protagonist have his strength? His looks? His wealth? His competence?

That’s something only pennyless, talentless, and plain losers would do. For Fang Zheng... he saw what he saw, so what can you do about it?

”Ugh...”

Hearing Fang Zheng’s calm answer, Black Cat’s fair little face turned bright red.

”I remember telling you, even though a jacket can cover a lot, it’s not omnipotent. You could either wear safety shorts or just switch to long pants... what do you think?”

Looking at the blushing Black Cat in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged. In fact, he’d already advised Black Cat about wardrobe malfunctions when he was guiding her before. Because Black Cat is inherently quick and she loves using those dramatic, cool moves, which by nature are exaggerated, she’s more prone to wardrobe malfunctions compared to others. But seeing Black Cat’s expression, it seems she didn’t heed Fang Zheng’s advice.

Although she’s called Black Cat, she wears white, matching her black stockings, which has its unique charm.

”...I... forget it.”

Black Cat hesitated for a moment, ultimately giving up. Fang Zheng genuinely didn’t understand why Japanese girls liked wearing skirts so much. Of course, from Fang Zheng’s POV, seeing those beautifully curved long legs with black and white silk or absolute territory beneath short skirts is a perk. But from a girl’s perspective, it’s obviously not worth it; apart from the occasional wardrobe malfunctions, it also invites harassment.

In anime, there’s often a scene where the girl’s skirt is lifted by the wind and seen by the protagonist, making the girl shy. But think about it carefully, unless only the protagonist sees it every time, wouldn’t a bunch of people see it too?

If the protagonist sees it, it might be because the heroine likes him and accepts it. But what if others see it; what would the heroine do?

Like on the way to school, a bunch of guys — you can’t just silence them, can you?

Although Fang Zheng can transform into Red Ponytail, he couldn’t comprehend the girls’ ideas. But it’s her own choice, and for Fang Zheng... just watching is fine.

”...This time I’ll let it slide!”

Sure enough, Black Cat mumbled a few words and didn’t dare say anything harsh. On the one hand, Fang Zheng had a significant authority in the Guild, and on the other, he was exceedingly handsome — a good-looking person checking out a wardrobe malfunction is dominant flirting; an unattractive one doing it is being a creep.

”But you owe me compensation! When we get back, you have to compensate me!”

”Okay.”

Facing Black Cat’s weakly declared defeat, Fang Zheng shrugged without saying much. He didn’t remind Black Cat she still owed him for the cat-ear maid outfit — making the bed, serving tea... Anyway, now didn’t seem like the right time to bring it up.

”Thank you for your help, Mr. Fang Zheng.”

At this moment, Black Snow Princess and Ang approached Fang Zheng, sincerely thanking him. Although everyone took down the Boss together, it was obvious to sharp-eyed people that if it weren’t for Fang Zheng, Yuna, and Black Cat pinning the Husky in time, many would have probably died here.

Now, with Fang Zheng’s quick response, no one died, making everyone increasingly grateful to him. For ordinary people living in a modern peaceful city, this desperate escape was a rare sensation for them.

”You’re welcome, just doing my duty.”

Fang Zheng nodded to the two and then reminded.

”You’ve also seen that Boss comes with many variant attack modes. I’ll write these on the Survival Manual later, but you should pay attention when fighting a Boss next time. According to reason, if a Boss on this floor appeared with a second stage transformation, such Bosses might become more common, and they might even come with minions. Always keep your guard up when fighting a Boss; never relax until the Boss is completely down.”

”Yes!”

This time, Black Snow Princess and Ang nodded solemnly. Not just them, but the other players will likely never forget this lesson, never daring to forget again.

After all, it almost cost them their lives.

”By the way, you cleared the fifth floor, opened the chest, what did you get?”

Upon Fang Zheng’s inquiry, Ang smiled slightly.

”We got a cloak and a Two-Handed Sword.”

”.........”

”Mr. Fang Zheng?”

”Nothing.”

Fang Zheng shook his head, glaring at Black Cat and Yuna, ready to burst into laughter behind him — everyone in the Guild knew of his black hand aura attribute level, needn’t mention it anymore.

”Congratulations.”

”Thanks to you...”

”Alright, let’s not talk about this now.”

Fang Zheng waved his hand, interrupting Black Snow Princess.

”The good stuff’s said; now let’s talk about bad things.”

”Bad things...?”

Hearing Fang Zheng, Black Snow Princess and Ang were taken aback, looking at each other, but Fang Zheng didn’t elaborate, turning to the crowd of players. Seeing this, the others were stunned for a moment and then followed him.

Seeing Fang Zheng and the others coming, those players were still very excited, each one greeting Fang Zheng, who nodded back. Then, he stopped in front of a player, sizing him up.

”Wha-what are you doing?”

The player couldn’t help but ask uneasily under Fang Zheng’s scrutiny, and Fang Zheng coldly stared at him, then spoke.

”From today, I want you to immediately quit the raid party. In other words... you can leave now.”

With these words, the once noisy crowd became silent.
