Chapter 873 He really... I'm crying my eyes out!

Grouping is a difficult problem.

After all, there are Toby and Bailey, two low-level players below level 7.

In this nightmare-level dungeon, a slight mistake could lead to death, so everyone wants a strong and reliable teammate.

Toby and Bailey not only bring no help, but they may also attract some terrifying beings.

Gray knew this too.

He can take either Toby or Bailey, but who will take the other one?

Although he was the temporary team leader, in Nightmare-level dungeons, lives were at stake, and if the team composition was chaotic, his teammates might not listen to him.

On the contrary, it will be detrimental to team unity.

Just then, the sexy and voluptuous Mara looked at Iris and asked, "Miss Iris, may I team up with you?"

Mara was very shrewd.

Although Iris's rank is only mid-8th level, not the highest in the entire room, she is a direct descendant of the Valsil Corporation!

If they really fought, Gray probably wouldn't be able to beat Iris.

Choosing her is definitely the safest option!

Iris glanced at Mara with her strange golden eyes and nodded calmly: "Okay."

"Thank you, Miss Iris!" Mara breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood behind Iris.

On the other side, Leo, the young man wearing a baseball cap, also walked towards Blue Fox without hesitation. The two had just teamed up to attack the red-haired creature, so they had some tactical understanding.

"Brother Blue Fox, shall we go together?" Leo blew a bubble with his chewing gum and suggested.

Blue Fox, his face cold, nodded slightly: "Agreed."

Seeing that two people had already teamed up, Toby panicked a little.

He subconsciously moved closer to Gray, then glanced at Bailey out of the corner of his eye, thinking with disdain, "I can't possibly team up with this weakling at the early stage of level 5, can I?"

Noticing the subtle disapproving glances around her, Bailey silently lowered her head, her fingers nervously twisting together.

She is not weak in her own rank, and she is confident even when facing difficult dungeons.

But this only applies to lower skill levels!

But now that a teammate has reached 1502 points and the difficulty level is Nightmare, it means that in the system's view, this is an almost impossible task for the ten of them.

"This matchmaking system is toxic..." Bailey sighed sadly to herself.

In order to survive, she took a deep breath, mustered all her courage, and prepared to ask Lin Hui, the only "acquaintance" in the group she had met a few times, for help.

However, just as Bailey raised her head, her ruby-like eyes met a pair of deep black eyes.

Lin Hui stood less than two meters away from her and asked softly, "Shall we team up?"

Those four simple words sounded like heavenly music to Bailey's ears!

At this moment, bathed in the crimson moonlight, Lin Hui's tall and straight figure seemed to radiate a sacred glow in Bailey's eyes.

"He really... I'm so moved!" Bailey was deeply touched and secretly vowed, "If I ever have the chance to cooperate with him in selling information, I'll definitely break his bones!"

"Okay! I will definitely try my best not to hold you back!" Bailey nodded repeatedly and walked quickly to Lin Hui's side.

Lin Hui nodded.

He doesn't care how strong his teammates are, because none of them are as strong as him anyway.

Seeing this, Gray breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, if Lin Hui also refuses to bring Bailey, the situation will be really ugly.

If assignments are forcibly made, it will inevitably lead to conflicts and divisions within the team.

"Although he is only at the early stage of Rank 7, he has an excellent overall perspective and is very loyal. He is a teammate worth befriending."

"Okay, now that the groups have been decided."

Gray composed himself and continued, "If you discover anything unusual or a clue, immediately inform each other through the channel!"

"Everyone, let's get started!"

The words fell.

Gray nodded to Lin Hui, then led Toby quickly into the shadows on the west side of the city.

Iris and Mara, Leo and Blue Fox, each found their own direction, and their figures quickly disappeared at the end of the dilapidated street.

Only Lin Hui and Bai Li remained in the same spot.

Lin Hui didn't rush off; instead, he took out a mechanical watch.

"It's been 40 minutes since we entered the instance." Lin Hui glanced down at his mechanical watch, then said, "Let's go."

"Okay!" Bailey followed closely behind.

Under the crimson moonlight.

The view seemed to be filtered through a light red lens.

For ordinary people, visibility would never exceed ten meters, but the players' powerful mental strength/divinity grants them night vision.

Lin Hui can see things within a kilometer.

The city's layout, architectural style, and even the rusty car wrecks along the roadside gave him a strong sense of déjà vu—this place felt too much like Earth.

However, it's too quiet here.

For the next ten minutes or so, Lin Hui didn't see a single living creature, not even a cockroach or a rat.

Throughout the entire process, Bailey followed closely behind Lin Hui.

She herself sells dungeon guides, so she knows all too well how terrifying Nightmare-level dungeons are. Danger can come from underground, from above, or even from the air you breathe.

To alleviate her fear, she kept a watchful eye on her surroundings while simultaneously thinking in her mind:

"If... if I really manage to get out of here alive, how much can I sell this walkthrough for 'Three Days of the World'? At least... at least 100 million Star Coins, right?!"

"And... I wonder if those two Cyber Swordsman mechs that Sister Iris threw down are still there? She said she didn't want them in front of everyone. If I secretly pick them up, she shouldn't go back on her word and ask me for them again, right?"

"oops!"

Bailey, lost in thought with her mind full of star coins, suddenly felt her nose slam heavily against a hard back.

She looked up in alarm and realized that Lin Hui had stopped walking and was looking at her.

"I'm so sorry!" Bailey was startled and quickly bowed in apology.

Lin Hui didn't pay any attention and pointed to a building to his right: "Stop spacing out, let's go take a look over there."

Bailey looked in the direction Lin Hui was pointing, and there was a nine-story gray building.

A huge stone tablet stands in the flower bed in front of the building, with twisted alien script engraved on it.

Using the system's built-in simultaneous translation, Bailey immediately recognized the meaning of the line of text:

[Ente City Police Department].
