Lu Fan had no reason to turn down a free hundred thousand.
With that money, he could finally buy a new recipe manual for his aunt, a professional chef.
"Alright, it's a deal," Lu Fan nodded in agreement.
Since they were still out in the field, there was no way to transfer funds directly. So they simply signed a mutual agreement, and Qin Qiu would pay once they returned to Jianghai City.
Lu Fan wasn't worried about her defaulting—after all, to someone like her from such a prominent family, 100,000 coins was probably just pocket change.
The Qin family had a solid reputation in Jianghai City, and it was unlikely they'd ruin it over such a small amount.
Thus, Lu Fan officially became a member of Qin Qiu's team.
With him included, their eight-person squad was now complete. A faint smile of relief appeared on Qin Qiu's face as she eagerly urged everyone to head toward the entrance of the Secret Realm of Fortune.
Led by Qin Qiu and Sun Ge, the group walked for only five minutes before arriving at a flat clearing.
There, a short and skinny mage from Sun Ge's side stepped forward and began chanting.
In an instant, the scenery around the clearing distorted slightly, and a two-meter-tall purple vortex portal shimmered into view.
It seemed the mage had used an illusion spell to keep the entrance hidden from others.
"Alright, everyone gear up! Get ready to enter the dungeon!" Sun Ge barked, pulling the greatsword from his back and gripping it firmly in his hands.
Flame-like engravings ran along the blade—at least a Bronze-tier weapon, possibly even enchanted.
As the Qin family's steward, it made sense that he'd wield good equipment.
The others also began readying their weapons, preparing for the battle ahead.
Sun Ge glanced back and noticed Lu Fan hadn't made any move. He frowned slightly and asked,
"You're not unarmed, are you, brother? If you've got gear, take it out now—once we're inside, anything can happen."
Lu Fan nodded, understanding the reasoning.
With a flick of his wrist, a massive black greatsword appeared in his hand.
It was no smaller than Sun Ge's weapon, and in appearance, even more striking.
The blade was pitch black, etched with raised dragon-scale patterns. It absorbed the sunlight instead of reflecting it, giving it a deadly matte finish.
This sword was Lu Fan's recent prize from an intermediate treasure map:
Obsidian Dragon-Scale Greatsword (Gold-Tier)
Level Requirement: 10
Class Requirement: Dragon Tamer, Dragonblood Warrior
Strength Requirement: 120
+65 Strength
+30 Stamina
Trait – Dragonblood Armoring: Can undergo dragonification with the wielder, enhancing the power of transformed body parts.
Gold-tier gear typically started at 30 million coins, and this particular sword—with its exceptional stats—was easily worth around 50 million.
It granted nearly a hundred attribute points and boosted both strength and stamina, making it an absolute top-tier choice for warriors.
However, despite only being a level 10 item, its usage conditions were absurdly strict.
Aside from the class restriction, the required 120 strength alone was enough to disqualify 99% of warriors.
Most players wouldn't hit that benchmark until level 30.
But Lu Fan had already met all the conditions, so wielding the weapon posed no issue for him.
The sword was clearly tailored for Dragon Tamers. Its unique trait—Dragonblood Armoring—would make Lu Fan's skill [Dragon Claw] even more devastating.
When he pulled the sword out, every eye in the group locked onto it.
Qin Qiu and the others were clearly intrigued.
As a fellow warrior, Sun Ge could instantly tell that this weapon might even outclass his own bronze-tier sword. He clicked his tongue and exclaimed,
"Brother, that sword of yours… doesn't look ordinary. Could it be a Silver-tier weapon?"
Lu Fan gave him a brief glance but didn't respond.
Sun Ge chuckled awkwardly and didn't press the question.
They were still strangers, after all. It made sense that Lu Fan wouldn't disclose the weapon's tier or attributes.
Cai'er, who had been annoyed with Lu Fan from the start, couldn't help but speak up,
"Fine, don't tell us about your weapon. But at least let us know your level and class, right?"
"We're supposed to be cooperating in this dungeon. Class synergy is important. If we don't even know what your role is, how are we supposed to set up a proper formation?"
Qin Qiu nodded and said in a calm voice,
"She's right. The dungeon environment is unpredictable. It's better if we understand each other a little more beforehand."
She paused, then added as a gesture of goodwill,
"I'll go first. I'm a Level 13 Radiant Mage, a hidden class. My class specializes in both offense and healing."
