Honestly, no one expected it to be this easy to accept the dungeon quest.
The moment the system notification sounded, even Su Muqiu doubted his own ears, or else Lin Mo really did know some inside information.

"Holy shit! A thousand difficulty points!", Niu Dali yelled out in shock after reading the detailed quest.
In reality, for Lin Mo, it was still relatively easy.
After all, the beginner city lord assessment quest he had just completed earlier already had a difficulty rating of 910.
He had already killed level 34 bandits. Why would he be afraid of level 32 poisonous snakes?
As for why this level 32 dungeon quest actually had a difficulty rating 90 points higher than the level 34 assessment quest, Lin Mo knew the reason was the Snake King.
"If I remember right, the Snake King should be a Tier-2 boss."
In his previous life, it was precisely this boss that tripped up more than 99.99% of all dungeon teams in Blazing Ember City.
After all, even if it was only a Tier-2 boss, it was still a boss.
Five ordinary players wanting to kill a boss-level monster was nothing short of a fantasy.
For Lin Mo, clearing the dungeon and completing the quest in one go was no problem.
The real issue was that he had to clear it in the shortest possible time and secure a perfect rating.
No time to waste. Lin Mo stood up, took out the golden Venomous Crossbow, and immediately began the quest.
———
At the same time.
At the resurrection fountain in Blazing Ember City—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Beams of white light kept appearing.
Players eliminated in the Snake King Island dungeon were continuously being teleported back to the city to revive after death.
Among these players, aside from a small number of solo players, the vast majority were from the Chaotic World guild.
"Holy fack! This dungeon is way too hard! I didn't even find the dungeon quest and I already got bitten to death by poisonous snakes!"
"I've got it even worse! I didn't see a single snake, just got poisoned to death by the dungeon's toxic gas!"
"This is basically free deaths. Did anyone get a snake gallbladder? Anyone?"
"Our team didn't even plan on doing the quest. We went in and just killed snakes. Killed over ten of them and one snake gallbladder dropped! Hahaha! Hurry up and mail this gallbladder to Brother Jie, get the one thousand reward. Five of us, two hundred each. This run wasn't a loss at all!"
Immediately, the players around them who had died without getting even a single snake gallbladder cast envious and jealous looks at those who had gotten one.
———
At the same time, elsewhere—
Wang Junjie was pacing back and forth outside the dungeon like an ant on a hot pan, restless and anxious.
He could not hold back anymore and wanted to enter the dungeon, but Chaotic World Zhuge stopped him.
"Brother Jie, the quality of your Venom set is too low. Going in now would just be feeding yourself to them. Better wait a bit longer."
Wang Junjie was furious, "Fack! Wait? How long am I supposed to wait!"
"If we wait any longer, the dungeon first clear is going to be snatched by that trash Rulebound!"
Right at that moment, Wang Junjie's mailbox started flashing.
He opened it and his eyes immediately lit up.
Because inside the mail were snake gallbladders sent by his guild underlings.
Several Chaotic World players who were on standby to enter the dungeon with Wang Junjie were overjoyed when they saw this.
"Great! Snake gallbladders!"
"We're saved!"
The underlings were thoughtful too. Afraid Wang Junjie might forget, they directly set the mail extraction price at one thousand per gallbladder.
Wang Junjie did not care about anything else and rapidly extracted the mail.
However many there were, he took them all.
Although on average, each Chaotic World guild team might only harvest one or two snake gallbladders at most, and many teams were wiped out completely without a single gallbladder dropping, the key point was the sheer number of people.
Ten thousand Chaotic World members, two thousand teams entering the dungeon at the same time, all collecting snake gallbladders for Wang Junjie alone.
In no time at all, Wang Junjie had extracted several hundred snake gallbladders through the mail.
He could not wait any longer and immediately used the snake gallbladders to upgrade the quality of his Venom gear.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
When he crushed dozens of snake gallbladders with his bare hands and smeared the liquid onto the blade in his hand, and saw green light flare up on the Venom Sword as its quality truly rose from white to green, Wang Junjie went wild with joy.
"Hahahaha! It really can upgrade the quality!"
"This feels amazing!"
As he spoke, Wang Junjie crushed all the snake gallbladders and used them entirely on upgrading his weapon.
Before long, the quality of his Tier-2 Venom Sword rose step by step from its original white all the way to purple.
But this was still far from enough to satisfy Wang Junjie.
Opening the ten-thousand-member guild chat, Wang Junjie tagged everyone and said, ["Brothers, hurry up and farm snake gallbladders for me! From now on, two thousand per gallbladder!"]
Buzz!
As soon as these words were sent, the Chaotic World guild erupted once again.
["Holy shit! Two thousand! Another thousand increase!!"]
["That means just two snake gallbladders already equal two months of my backbreaking salary at work? My god, this is insane!"]
["Following Brother Jie really means meat to eat! Brother Jie is god-tier, Brother Jie is awesome!"]
["Uh, I want to ask, the snake gallbladders we sent earlier for one thousand, can we make up the difference?"]
["Don't facking worry about whether you can make it up! Brothers, hurry back into the dungeon! Farm! Farm with your lives! One gallbladder breaks even, two is profit, three means hitting the foot massage parlor with extra time tonight!"]
["Brothers, charge!"]
Money makes the world go round.
Wang Junjie did not need to do anything himself. There were countless workhorses willing to sell their lives for him.
To obtain more snake gallbladders in the shortest time possible and quickly refine a full set of top-tier Venom gear so he could enter the dungeon and seize the first clear, even ten thousand people serving him alone was not enough.
He directly posted a message in the Blazing Ember City chat channel—
[Chaotic World Hero (Lv26 Warrior): "Snake King Island dungeon is now open for free to everyone. Anyone who wants to enter no longer needs to pay. Also buying snake gallbladders at two thousand each. Unlimited purchase."]
As soon as this was said, all one million plus online players in Blazing Ember City exploded.
Thus, countless players joined this dungeon assault.
The entire city's players all became Wang Junjie's workhorses.
And Wang Junjie continued extracting more and more snake gallbladders through the mail.
Using these gallbladders, in an extremely short period of time, he rapidly upgraded all eight pieces of his Venom set to orange quality.
At the same time, the Venom sets of the other four members of his team were all boosted to purple quality as well.
Although there was still room for improvement, Wang Junjie could not wait any longer.
Because he was afraid that if he delayed even a bit more, the Snake King Island dungeon first clear would be completed by Lin Mo.
"Brothers, follow me into the dungeon! Take the first clear!"
"Yes!"
As he spoke, Wang Junjie led the four highest-level players of the Chaotic World guild and stepped into the Snake King Island dungeon light screen.
