24 The first conflict
"Finally!" Qian Zhong was the last to log out of the game today, and when he got to the living room, he began to yell in excitement announcing his arrival.
"What happened?" Tang Yunfan asked while smiling at his friend's enthusiasm.
"I became an archer! It was difficult but worth it. And I got a bow and some quivers with 100 arrows each as the quest's reward, hehe." He was almost jumping all over the room.
"The three of us had already job changed. You don't need to do all this spectacle just because of this." Hu Ling scolded him.
"You know that it was more difficult for me to complete the quest because of my transformations. I had to wait 10 minutes every time I became a fox. It is so unfair!"
"A puppy, no a true fox yet. And it's not unfair in the least because the spirit beast's racial trait is a bonus of 30% in movement speed. If your race didn't have this disadvantage at the beginning of the game, every spirit beast would have a higher level than the other races.
"What's important now is that everyone is ready to party together and do dungeons. Everyone agreed to meet in the North Branch of the Adventurer's Guild to apply to start the dungeon together. Now that I think about it, you guys didn't tell me who are the last two party members yet." Ye Yan looked at Hu Ling for an answer.
"Well... I got two girls to join us, but... You need to see for yourself. All the pretty ladies that I know are low-level and don't will be enabled to do dungeons until 3 to 4 days later, so I invited two special girls to our party." Hu ling told him while looking a little uncomfortable.
"What do you mean by special? What is the problem with these two girls?" Ye Yan inquired.
"They are not normal. Why all the girls that joined our party have problems? First, that Xiao girl chose to be a female dwarf and looks worse than a bearded woman in a circus. And now, one is a halfling and looked like a child. If I look at her for more than a quick look, I would feel like a pedophile, and it's a no-no for me. The last one... She decided to play as a cross-gender as a form of support for her gay brother. Yes, bro, the last girl that joins our party looks like a big man with a sexy woman voice, it gives me goosebumps every time I heard her voice, but what I can do? Few players are at our levels and didn't join a party yet." Hu Ling looked like to be in pain when he told them about the girls.
"Puff." Ye Yan was drink water when he heard Hu Ling, so couldn't keep it in and spite everything on him.
"Fuck! Can you be a little more classy?" He Ling got a shirt that was on the couch to wipe himself.
"Hey! It's mine!"Tang Yunfan pulled his shirt from him, but not before Hu Ling wipe himself. "You know that shirt was full of my sweat, right?"
"Fuck!" Hu Ling runs to the bathroom. What he hated the most is to have contact with other male sweat.
....
At 6 p.m. in real-life time, all ten members of the party meet in front of the Adventurer's Guild. Finally, Ye Yan could know the rest of the team.
The team is formed by two fighters, three mages, one archer, one thief, one swordsman, and two doctors. The two new girls are Thumbelina, a doctor halfling, and Mage of the Cold Nights, a male elemental mage. And the other woman on the team, Xiao Xiao, is a dwarf doctor named Snow White.
All of them entered the Adventurer's Guild's building and applied to enter the dungeon so they would receive some item to help them, like potions, water and food, and a pass that they will need to show to the soldiers guarding the entrance of the Mountain Forest for them to be allowed to enter the dungeon. In this way, only players that job changed or level 8 and higher can enter the dungeon.
Contrary to what the others thought, Ye Yan was happy with the team composition and with the three women because with them being like that, he doesn't will feel nervous as happen when he is near any other woman.
Before they go to the Mountain Forest, Ye Yan asked the two doctors to decide who will get the [Heal] spellbook that dropped from Keremeet a few days ago. Snow White won in the rock-paper-scissors and got the spell.
They walked for one and half hours to get to the Mountain Forest. There, they showed the pass to the guards and went in the entrance direction, but just before they entered the dungeon, another group of players arrived and tried to stop them.
"Stop right there!" Someone said, but they pretend that they didn't hear them and keep going to the entrance.
"Do you guys are deaf?" Someone ran and stopped in front of them. "We told you to stop!"
"You want to speak but we chose not to hear. Now get out of our way." Ye Yan said calmly.
"What? Do you know with who you are talking?" The guy started to yell.
"Please, anything but these cliche lines. Can't you think about something more original to say?" Spell Bound said looking down on him.
"What? You!" He said pointing to Spell Bound.
"Did this guy read a Villain Guidebook?" Spell Bound said to his friends while pointing to him with his head.
"You, you, you." He didn't know how to respond and started to repeat the same word.
"Tsk, really boring." Spell Bound smirked.
"We are from Slayers Guild and will be entering the dungeon first. You guys should go back because this isn't a place for noobies." The one that looked like the leader said to them.
Ye Yan looked at him measuring. "Noobies?" He shook his head like saying 'So sad, the number of brain dead people are increasing so much lately'. He sighed.
"First, there is no guild emblem on your chest, and don't will be for a long time because it is too expensive right now without the money exchange between real life and the game. Second, no noobies are at level 5 at this stage of the game. And lastly, I really like to beat cocky people like you, so if you want to continue with your nonsense, I will be pleased in showing you the fate of those that don't know their place."
"What? Do you dare to speak to me like that?" The party leader said.
Spell Bound facepalms himself. "Beat them already or they will kill me with so many cliche lines."
"Gladly!" Conan said and attacked the one that stopped them before.
"Kill these nobodies!" The party leader ordered them.
Ye Yan sighed and started his killing spree. The equipment of the other party is a little better them theirs but the combat abilities of Ye Yan and Conan were on another level compared to them. Both of them were taking more than one enemy at a time and the rest were shared between the other members of the party. The mages, thief, and swordsman attacked the two doctors of the other party first and killed them fast with [Fire Bolt] and [Ice Bolt], which were the basic spells that the mages get as a reward in their job change quests. They have to choose one between two spells as recompense at the end of their quests, so Spell Bound and Dovakin chose Fire Bolt, and Mage of the Cold Nights got Ice Bolt.

They defeated the enemy party in just 1 minute, but when the doctors were healing the party members later, a little problem occurred.
"What the fuck! You, get away from me!" Qian Zhong yelled at Thumbelina.
"What's the problem?" She asked without understanding the reason for his extreme reaction, but when Ye Yan, Conan, and Spell Bound looked at her weapon the three of them said "Ahnnn" at the same time, as they got enlightened.
"Huahuah. You don't know but your weapon is the problem." Conan couldn't contain his laugher.
"Why?" She continues without understanding what is going on.
"Shut up!" Demon Fox yelled at him because he doesn't want the others to know about his weakness.
"Hehehe. The fat here is afraid to death of syringes, and that is exactly what you have in your hand." Spell Bound told them.
"Pfft!" The others couldn't contain themselves and laughed at the situation.
"Stop it and let's get inside the dungeon." Qian Zhong looked at Snow White and said pointing to Thumbelina while trying to do a cute face. "Please, take care of me and don't let that one get near me, ok?"
"Don't worry." She answered smiling at him.
When everyone was in full health, they got ready to enter the dungeon.
