These Familiars Are Strange

"What's going on, boss? Why did you suddenly drag me out like this?" Wang Rong asked in a shocked voice as he was being pulled by me.

It was only natural that he would be shocked like this since I had suddenly arrived at his house early in the morning and dragged him out like this.

He didn't even have time to process what I told him before being dragged out.

All he could do was follow me…or rather all he could do was be dragged by me to the car.

"I told you, we're diving into the dungeons." I said the same thing as before when I went to his house to drag him out.

"Yes, but you still didn't explain why." Wang Rong said with a bitter smile on his face.

"It's for training. We have to become stronger."

Wang Rong's expression turned a bit serious, but he then said, "Boss, I know that there's the danger from Governor Nangong, but is there a need to rush into this? There's still plenty of time before the time limit. People need rest too to be as strong as they can be. If you run yourself ragged…"

There were traces of worry that filled his voice when he said this.

He wasn't just saying this because he wanted a break, he was actually saying this because he was worried about this boss of his.

He was worried that he would run himself into the ground like this.

After all, diving into dungeons wasn't exactly a safe thing and if he kept wearing himself down like this…

It would only be a matter of time before he cracked under the pressure.

"Who said that it had anything to do with that?" I suddenly asked back to Wang Rong to his surprise.

Wang Rong looked at me with eyes wide in shock before slowly asking, "Isn't that the reason why you dragged me out for this? I thought that we were going into the dungeon because you wanted to become stronger to face him."

"Do you really think that I only have my eyes on him? My goals are far beyond just defeating him." I said in a firm tone.

After all, my real goal was to become someone that didn't have to worry about anything.

My goal was beyond just being an A Ranker like Governor Nangong.

My goal was to become a World Guardian in the future.

Only with power could one do what they wanted in this world and be truly safe.

That was the goal that I set for myself after meeting Mu Gong.

I knew that I had to become as strong as him to be truly free in this world.

After considering everything, I decided that it was best if I took part in this tournament.

The prizes were just too enticing, along with the fact that we would be entering a dungeon that normally people couldn't enter. It might just mean some special loot to some people, but it was different for me who had the Scavenger Rabbit.

With the ability of the Scavenger Rabbit, I might be able to find some things that no one else had ever found in this dungeon.

That was why I was planning on attending this competition.

And to do that, I had to make sure that I was as strong as possible.

Only with this kind of strength would I be able to ensure that I would get a good placement in the competition. Only the best placements would actually get anything good.

Since I was going to do this, I would be greedy and take the best things for myself.

After all, that was how I decided to live.

Eventually Wang Rong settled down when he learned about the competition.

There was a fire that suddenly burned in his eyes, as if he had found purpose as well.

After all, Wang Rong wasn't a meek person either.

It was just that the circumstances of his life had caused him to be pushed down by others. That didn't mean that he didn't have the same feelings of greed as Lin Fan and the feeling of wanting to become stronger to gain more freedom.

So motivated by this, Wang Rong was determined to follow his boss in his dive in the dungeons.

It was just that he never would have imagined what kind of mistake this was…

…

"Are you sure that they'll be back in time?" An Long looked at the clock with a worried look.

An Xue Yun didn't show it on her face, but there was no doubt that she was worried as well.

During the past two weeks, she had been supporting Lin Fan's group as they dived into the dungeon. Even though it was only helping them find dungeons and providing them with supplies, she had worked hard.

But she could see how much harder it was for them to dive into the dungeons like that.

That was why she was always worried that something had happened to them.

She had wanted to stop them from diving into the last dungeon, but Lin Fan had insisted on going in even though it was close to the deadline for accepting the invitation. Even now, there was only ten minutes left before the deadline was over.

An Long was able to find this out because of his status, so they knew exactly when the deadline was. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

But Lin Fan wasn't here to accept that invitation.

The invitation was something that required mana signature confirmation, which meant that they weren't able to fake the signature for Lin Fan. He had to personally use the machine that they were standing in front of to accept this invitation.

But he still wasn't back…

An Long was even thinking about personally going to pick them up, but…

"Where's the machine?" I said as soon as I came in.

"Over here." An Xue Yun said while waving at us to come over.

Almost at the very last second, I confirmed my participation in the competition.
