Chapter 109
After checking his stats, Wen Yu turned his gaze to the level leaderboard.
[ Time ] Level 48 (44%) (Space Mage)
[ Dynasty - Emperor ] Level 43 (69%) (Storm Archer)
[ Still Not Calling Mom ] Level 40 (29%) (God of War)
[ Sharp Blade - Wang Bin ] Level 39 (88%) (Rage Crossbowman)
[ Gathering Righteousness - Righteous Brother ] Level 37 (60%) (Magic Swordsman)
[ Fantasy - Doomsday ] Level 37 (44%) (Lightning Mage)
[ Hidden Kill - Asura is Here ] Level 37 (12%) (Assassin)
[ Sharp Blade - Qi Yue ] Level 37 (10%) (Curse Assassin)
[ Gathering Righteousness - Mountain Range ] Level 36 (82%) (Dual Crossbow Elf)
[ Snake Granny ] Level 36 (59%) (Holy Light Mage)
"..."
Wang Bin had finally been surpassed by Ye Qian, and Brother Rong was nowhere to be seen on the leaderboard again.
It was likely that he had been too busy these past two days.
Meanwhile, there hadn't been much change on the world level leaderboard.
Wen Yu had been quite diligent in farming monsters these past two days, remaining firmly in the number one spot globally.
As for the second through tenth places, they were currently between levels 44 and 46.
"Keep it up, Emperor. A little more effort and you'll be on the leaderboard."
He was looking at the leaderboard, analyzing the situation.
"Ding! ~"
"You have a new message!"
Upon checking, it was from Ye Qian again.
"Chen Cheng and the others said you came to the discussion meeting today?"
...
Taking off his helmet, the Time had already reached 12:30 AM.
After chatting with Ye Qian for a while, Wen Yu continued his great cause of killing rabbits.
After a night of rabbit farming, his Intelligence stat had surged again, reaching as high as 140,582.
"Another day missed the National News Broadcast."
In the evening, Lin Sirong, Wang Bin, and the others had finally come online.
These past two days had indeed been busy enough to drive them crazy.
It was said that over 3,000 guilds had already registered at the Guild Office.
Even departments approved by the state had gone to register as guilds.
For example, the "Women's Federation."
Dedicated to protecting women's rights, it had even been moved directly into the game.
Similar incidents were occurring frequently on Blue Star; just today, the number of cults taken down couldn't be counted on one hand.
There were also fearless players among the masses.
Some of them hadn't even materialized their skills, yet relying on a few meager stats, they wanted to "do something big."
The result was naturally being ruthlessly wiped out.
However, Wen Yu wasn't worried; the state wanted "troublemakers" anyway. If no one poked their head out, wouldn't the laws have been enacted in vain?
To kill the chicken to warn the monkey—if there were no chickens, what would the monkeys watch?
Brewing a cup of tea, Wen Yu returned to his comfort zone.
Lying on the small rattan chair on the rooftop, it was indescribably comfortable.
He opened the forum to see if there was any new news today.
" New Laws and Regulations " (Pinned)
" China Guild Application Materials " (Pinned)
" [ After Tomorrow ] Talent Table! " (Pinned)
" What skills have you all materialized? "
" At 34 minutes past the afternoon on the 18th, an "Archer" appeared at the entrance of the Beichang City Public Security Bureau! "
" A male figure flashed through the women's bathhouse! "
"..."
"So there really are assassins who run to the women's bathhouse after getting Invisibility."
He didn't know how Lin Sirong and the others punished such voyeurs if they caught them.
Wen Yu felt they probably wouldn't just execute them directly...
He scrolled down for a long Time before finally finding the post Li Jue had made. Li Jue had uploaded all four videos into the video compilation he had previously created.
Each video still cost 5 yuan, but recently, reality had been affecting things too much.
Not many people were watching the videos.
"Take it slow... It will be better once society gradually stabilizes." Wen Yu thought to himself.
——————
September 19, 2052...
Farming rabbits, doing dungeons, leveling up, farming rabbits.
September 20, 2052...
Farming rabbits, doing dungeons, going on field missions, farming rabbits.
Yes, on the 20th, Wen Yu even went on a "field mission"!
It happened in the afternoon of the 20th. Wen Yu, who was busy leveling up, received a call from Li Yujie.
She said that someone in Rong City was causing trouble using skills. Their stats were a bit high, and ordinary weapons couldn't easily deal with them. Fearing large-scale damage, they hadn't considered using high-risk weapons for the Time being, so she asked if Wen Yu could make a trip.
Wen Yu readily agreed to go.
There were no surprises; high stats always had a limit.
Two Void Orbs left the opponent with no ability to fight back.
Wen Yu spared his life; the scum was naturally left for the government to judge.
Perhaps one day, Wen Yu would also have a Time when he had to kill.
But hopefully, that Time would come as late as possible.
September 21, 2052...
Farming rabbits, doing dungeons, leveling up, splitting money.
By the 21st, society had finally begun to gradually approach stability, and the crowds surrounding the Guild Office had almost dispersed.
The National News Broadcast had finally started reporting on other events to some extent.
The result was that the number of players entering [ After Tomorrow ] surged again.
The number of players in the Huaxia Region had reached 1.4 billion.
Wen Yu estimated that the 400 million people who first entered the game would finish their second job advancement in these two days.
In the evening, Li Jue came to find Wen Yu to split the money.
This Time, the four videos had been posted on the forum for over 3 days in one go.
The results were also very prominent, even reaching the number one spot on the forum in terms of popularity, excluding pinned posts, on the 20th.
In the end, Wen Yu received a full 100 million from these four videos.
Li Jue received nearly 20 million.
"Although I said I would date and get married once I reached a'small goal,' with the current social situation, it's not yet at a point where one can live with peace of mind."
Helpless, he could only postpone it.
September 22, 2052...
Farming rabbits, doing dungeons, going out to eat good food.
September 22nd was Wen Yu's birthday.
By today, Wen Yu had turned 25.
He hadn't thought about it being his birthday today; ever since his parents passed away, he hadn't celebrated his birthday again.
No one remembered his birthday either.
But now, someone remembered.
Lin Sirong.
Very early on the morning of the 22nd, Wen Yu was still sleeping when he was woken up by a call from Lin Sirong.
"Kid, still sleeping?"
"..." He glanced at the Time; it was only 7:30 AM.
What else could he do if not sleep? Get up and go to work?
"Forgot what day it is today?" Lin Sirong's words made Wen Yu recall.
So there was such a thing as a birthday.
Lin Sirong sent Wen Yu a red envelope.
It was only 88 yuan.
Not much, but it was lucky money.
Wen Yu was very happy; a red envelope was something he hadn't received in many years.
He glanced at the only "family photo" he had on his bedside.
Wen Yu smiled happily.
September 23, 2052...
Wen Yu, who had a serious misconception about his alcohol tolerance, was so happy last night that he polished off four more bottles of beer.
He slept until 9:30 AM before groggily crawling out of bed.
After finishing breakfast and getting everything packed.
"After Tomorrow! Start!"
***
Chapter 110 [ Huaxia Region First Martial Arts Tournament ]
Logging back into the game, Wen Yu immediately checked his level.
Level 53 (1,968,352 / 7,112,000)
Thanks to his hard work over the past few days, his Intelligence stat had made massive progress, reaching over 200,000 in one go!
Since it was Wen Yu's birthday yesterday, the system had also carefully prepared a "birthday gift" for him; he had finally farmed the last piece of the level 40 accessory set.
This allowed Wen Yu to complete another small goal.
Wind and Cloud Mage Set Effect (5/5):
Abnormal status immunity rate +5% Abnormal status resistance +20% Ignore defense rate +20%
When he saw the ignore defense rate yesterday, Wen Yu was genuinely taken aback.
He hadn't expected that [After Tomorrow] would actually have a setting like ignore defense.
An ignore defense rate of 20% could be seen as reducing the enemy unit's physical/magic defense by 20% in front of him.
For Wen Yu, it might not be of much use right now, but for the average player, reducing a monster's defense by 20% would make fighting them a breeze.
...
The day before yesterday, Wen Yu crafted his fourth piece of spatial equipment, and the piece that received this favor was naturally the [maple leaf necklace] he had previously abandoned.
After all, these were the only Epic-grade equipment pieces Wen Yu currently had.
It took half an hour to craft the [maple leaf necklace] into spatial equipment, and he also helped it find a good buyer.
The "wealthy and imposing" Chen Cheng ultimately brought it home for 8,000 skill upgrade cards.
Looking at the 10,000+ skill upgrade cards in his backpack.
Wen Yu decided to strengthen his skills once more; let the divine be divine, and let the immortal be immortal—get them all to Immortal grade!
[Void Lock Target] (Immortal grade)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 2048
Effect: Summon Void chains to pierce up to 10 enemy units within a 100*100 range, dealing 240% magic damage and restricting all actions of the enemy units for 5 seconds.
Cooldown: 20 seconds
Mana cost: 100
[Explosive Stance] (Immortal grade)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 2048
Effect: Can be used after opening a shield. Detonate own shield, dealing 340% magic damage to all enemy units within a 20*20 meter range.
Cooldown: 117 seconds
Mana cost: 200
[Endless Black Hole] (Immortal grade)
Upgrade requirement: skill upgrade card * 2048
Effect: Release a black and white black hole at the designated location, dealing 240% magic damage per second to all enemy units within a 50-meter radius, lasting for 10 seconds. All enemy units within the black hole's coverage will be affected by the black hole's suction.
Cooldown: 39 seconds
Mana cost: 100
Using 3,072 skill upgrade cards, he pulled these three skills to Immortal grade quality in one breath.
If nothing unexpected happens, these three skills might stay at the Immortal grade for the rest of their lives.
From here on out, when Wen Yu gets more skill upgrade cards, he should save them to prepare for the Third Class Transfer.
The next thing to upgrade was naturally his trump card skill! Get it to God grade early, and complete another small goal.
4,096 skill upgrade cards instantly vanished! And in return, he got the God-grade [Space Wormhole]!
[Space Wormhole] (God grade) (Cannot be upgraded)
Effect: Summon a Space Wormhole at a designated location, instantly dealing 6 instances of crushing damage to all enemy units within a 20*20 meter range, with each instance dealing 400% magic damage. At the end of the attack, targets with total health below 20% will be sucked away by the wormhole.
Cooldown: 39 minutes
Mana cost: 1000
"That's it, instantly dealing 2400% magic damage, and insta-killing targets with less than 20% health."
"In that case, if I factor in my critical hit and critical damage, as long as the enemy's total health isn't higher than 28 million, I have a chance to insta-kill them!"
Just thinking about it made Wen Yu feel terrified; even the Second Class Transfer skills had this level of intensity, and he didn't know to what extent he would be invincible by the Third Class Transfer.
Looking at the 3,000+ skill upgrade cards remaining on his person, Wen Yu wasn't planning on holding back.
Keep upgrading for me!
However, when choosing skills, Wen Yu was in a bind.
The [Flashback] skill could now return to any location where a teleport coordinate was left within 10 seconds.
Even if upgraded further, it would only be 11 seconds.
This upgrade was already dispensable for Wen Yu.
And the utility of [Void Orb] for Wen Yu was a bit too low now.
In the end, Wen Yu simply steeled himself and chose to pull [Space Blessing] to God grade!
[Space Blessing] (God grade) (Cannot be upgraded)
Effect: Spatially protect the entire team; all players in the team have their attack distance/skill range increased by 60%.
Duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown: 20 minutes
Mana cost: 100
After the upgrade was complete, 772 skill upgrade cards remained in his backpack.
"That's enough, I'm very satisfied. From now on, I have to start hoarding skill upgrade cards."
"It's a return to simplicity; after coming full circle, skill upgrade cards have become the thing I need most."
Wen Yu had also looted 2 [skill materialization card]s from dungeons over the past few days.
Now carrying 3 skill materialization cards, he didn't have any needs in that regard for the time being.
Everything was being prepared in advance for the Third Class Transfer!
The time ahead could be spent peacefully farming dungeons.
Wen Yu walked alone down the streets of Sunshine City, which was the complete opposite of the real world that had already gone completely silent.
At this moment, Sunshine City was already packed with players.
Solo players had been leveling up at high intensity over the past few days, and their numbers had now completely overtaken guild players.
And as Wen Yu walked among them, he naturally became the most eye-catching one.
"World Number One" was no longer just about being number one in the game.
Many players wanted to come up and build a connection, to get familiar.
There were also those who were unconvinced and wanted to duel Wen Yu...
Wen Yu naturally ignored them all, teleporting towards the [Dungeon Teleporter].
"Too many people; it's better to come to Sunshine City less often in the future..."
Arriving at the dungeon entrance, Wen Yu continued to fight from the lowest [White Wolf Kings Lair] upwards.
1 hour later, Wen Yu was already standing in the yellow sands where the [Black Wind Desert] dungeon was located.
The NPCs were still the same ones; the old village chief still had his wrinkles in the same place.
————————
"Ding! ~"
"Region Announcement: Congratulations to the Huaxia Region for reaching 300 million players who have reached level 30! The system will launch a fun event at 9 AM tomorrow, the [Huaxia Region First Martial Arts Tournament]! All players who reach level 30 by 9 AM tomorrow can sign up to participate! The rewards are generous! Please participate actively!"
"Please sign up at the [Dungeon Teleporter]! Otherwise, it will be considered as giving up participation!"
...
"? What! Tired of PVE, so you're starting to ramp up the intensity for players! PVP is here!"
"So my real birthday gift was here all along!"
"Thank you Earth Star! Thank you After Tomorrow!"
Wen Yu was just getting excited; the last event, [Six Color Doors], didn't compare combat power, but this time it was different!
Let me see who can stop me!
"Ding! ~"
"Someone has died, challenge failed! Teleporting from dungeon..."
"?"
Wen Yu looked back; the old village chief had already fallen to the ground, face blue, with a snake hanging around his neck.
...
Damn! An ambush!
***
Chapter 111 [Ten Thousand Poisons Forest]
With a flash of white light, Wen Yu appeared at the [Dungeon Teleporter].
"Hiss!" Wen Yu gasped!
He was almost crushed to death by the crowd!
"What kind of crappy event is this? Making us sign up at the Dungeon Teleporter? Are we even supposed to run dungeons anymore?"
The player overlapping effect... Wen Yu missed it dearly!
Fortunately, he had already been inside a dungeon, and now that he had teleported out, he occupied an excellent position.
He communicated with the [Dungeon Teleporter] again.
Sure enough, an option that hadn't been there just a moment ago appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
[Huaxia Region's First Martial Arts Tournament] Registration Application.
Current number of registrants: 28,509,425.
Wen Yu naturally chose to register without hesitation; he was the champion, after all! What would be the point of the competition if the champion wasn't there?
The registration process was quite simple, as they likely knew there would be no shortage of people signing up.
He selected apply, and it was approved immediately.
Nearly crushed to death, Wen Yu immediately chose to re-enter the [Black Wind Desert].
"This is just too terrifying; I'm signing a petition with ten thousand others to bring back the player overlapping effect!"
— — — — — —
It was over an hour later by the time Wen Yu finished all the dungeons.
Every time Wen Yu entered a dungeon, he would glance at the registration count.
By the time he finished all the dungeons, the number of registrants had already reached over 170 million!
"Not bad, everyone is very enthusiastic! The more people there are, the higher the value, and the rewards should be even more generous, right?"
Tearing up a glory city return scroll, Wen Yu finally escaped the sea of people.
Returning to the Glory City teleportation array, Wen Yu looked at his experience points; he had reached Level 54 (3,556,352 / 7,312,000).
"In that case, let's level up! I'll charge straight to Level 55 and start tackling Level 60 dungeons today."
He did what he thought of, turning his attention back to Human King City.
The Level 60 monsters in Human King City, [Gugu Birds], had already had dealings with Wen Yu over the past few days.
They looked a bit like the [Dodo Birds] that had gone extinct in Blue Star's history.
Even though they were called birds, they couldn't fly at all; their small wings couldn't support their large bodies.
Their weapon was their beak.
Their attack power was quite high, and when they hit Wen Yu's shield, they were monsters that could actually make him lose quite a bit of health.
He started farming them decisively!
...
Of course, it didn't take long, thanks to the 7% monster-killing experience bonus from Wen Yu's current set attributes.
In less than an hour, he had reached Level 55.
"OK, let's see what kind of intensity the Level 60 dungeons can throw at me!"
"Difficulty is fine, but it's best if it doesn't take too much time."
Having farmed the [Black Wind Desert] for several days in a row, Wen Yu was already feeling a bit broken by the long dungeons.
Back in Moonlight City, even though more than two hours had passed, it was just as crowded as before.
Because there was no place to land, he couldn't even use teleportation.
It took Wen Yu no less than 20 minutes just to squeeze his way to the Dungeon Teleporter.
The four major Level 60 dungeons finally appeared before Wen Yu.
[Ten Thousand Poisons Forest] (Moonlight City)
[Frost Canyon] (Sunshine City)
[Lava Cave] (Starlight City)
[Ghost Village] (Human King City)
Seeing the dungeon names, Wen Yu knew he had already completed a quarter of them.
"Moonlight City really treats me well; first it gave me the Forest of Time, and this time it's gifted me the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest."
— — — — — —
"Ding!"
"You have entered the hell difficulty [Ten Thousand Poisons Forest]!"
"Reminder: While in the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest, you will take poison mist damage equal to 10% of your total HP every minute! This damage cannot be negated by shield-type skills! Recovery-type items cannot be used in this dungeon!"
"Countdown 10 minutes! Start!"
Opening his eyes again, Wen Yu was already standing on the edge of the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest.
Unlike the Forest of Time, which looked clean and elegant overall.
The Ten Thousand Poisons Forest was surrounded by a sense of grimness in the air!
"However, no matter how grim the forest is, it's still a forest!"
"Listening to the system's prompt, this dungeon is truly a bit difficult; losing 10% of my HP every minute, even with my [Friend of the Forest], it's still 5% per minute. And it's not affected by shield skills."
"I don't know what kind of monsters I'll encounter later."
Wen Yu didn't hesitate at all; he activated teleportation and rushed inside.
The venomous insects he encountered along the way made Wen Yu feel alarmed; fist-sized ants were scurrying everywhere in swarms.
Their speed was also extremely fast!
[Man-Eating Ant]
Level: 60
Description: A species unique to the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest.
HP: 400,000
Physical Attack Power: 1
Defense: 50,000
Skills:
Cannibalize (Each bite from the Man-Eating Ant deals 1% of total HP as damage. Ignores defense, ignores shields.)
Tactile Sense (When the Man-Eating Ant detects an enemy unit nearby, it will summon the swarm to pursue.)
"It's a good thing you're a forest animal; if this were anywhere else, I might have had to walk around you."
Once the 1-minute mark arrived.
- 650
Damage numbers floated above Wen Yu's head.
"Sure enough, Friend of the Forest triggered too. I only lost 5% of my HP."
Looking at his HP again, his shield was still completely intact.
"Then this dungeon actually has no difficulty for me."
"10 minutes will at most only cost me 50% of my HP."
Although he realized this, Wen Yu didn't intend to delay.
The feeling of his own HP dropping wasn't pleasant.
Except for the last time when the demons invaded and Wen Yu died.
It had been a long time since anyone had been able to drain his actual HP.
He activated teleportation and continued rushing forward.
The mobs along the way were also constantly getting stronger.
[Ten Thousand Poison Demon Spider]
Level: 60
Description: A species unique to the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest.
HP: 400,000
Physical Attack Power: 1
Defense: 50,000
Skills:
Web Weaving (When the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Spider detects an enemy nearby, it will spit silk to weave a web, trapping the enemy in place for 3 seconds! It also deals 1% of total HP as damage to the trapped enemy. Ignores defense, ignores shields.)
Venom (Injects venom into an enemy unit, dealing 2% of total HP as damage. Ignores defense, ignores shields.)
Then there were the later poisonous mosquitoes that dealt 3% of total HP as damage, which made Wen Yu secretly alarmed.
"The most critical issue is that apart from the spiders, the mosquitoes and ants are all gregarious animals."
"If you get entangled by one, you could be instantly overwhelmed!"
...
It took about 3 minutes, and with his total HP reduced by 15%, Wen Yu finally reached the end of the forest.
And unlike the Forest of Time, even though it was already difficult enough as it was.
A centipede taller than a person still blocked Wen Yu's path.
[Centipede King] (Epic BOSS)
Level: 60
HP: 600,000
Physical Attack Power: 1
Defense: 7,000
Skills:
Equilibrium (Reduces enemy unit movement speed by 50%)
Profane (Any attack from the Centipede King will deal 5% of the enemy unit's total HP as damage. Ignores defense, ignores shields.)
Bleed (Any attack received from the Centipede King will cause 1% of total HP damage per second. Lasts for 3 seconds. Ignores defense, ignores shields.)
"It's alright, I don't know how its attack frequency is."
Although the Centipede King was also very strong, in Wen Yu's estimation.
It hadn't even reached the level of the Level 50 Vermilion Bird and Weasel.
However, the difference was that all the monsters in the [Ten Thousand Poisons Forest] dealt true damage.
But when Wen Yu was already prepared for battle, the Centipede King took one look at Wen Yu and had no intention of attacking at all.
"..."
"Good grief, is the priority of Friend of the Forest this high? Even the BOSS ignores me?"
However, since it wasn't prepared to fight Wen Yu, Wen Yu naturally couldn't be bothered to make a move against it.
"The little animals of the forest are all friends of This Person Wen!"
Bypassing the Centipede King, Wen Yu successfully arrived at the exit.
After a while, however, no system prompt sounded at all.
"You've got to be kidding me, are you forcing me to attack my friends?"
Turning his head to look at the Centipede King in the distance, he threw a Void Lock Target.
The Centipede King fell to the ground in response.
"Ding!"
"Killed [Centipede King], EXP +600,000"
"Congratulations on obtaining Gold Coins * 149,252"
"Congratulations on obtaining [Dragon-Controlling Necklace]"
"Congratulations on obtaining [skill materialization card] * 1"
"Congratulations on obtaining [attribute materialization card] * 2"
"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment potential attachment card] * 8"
"Congratulations on obtaining [equipment potential elimination card] * 8"
"?"
"What is this?"
***
Chapter 112 [ equipment potential attachment card ]
After clearing [ Ten Thousand Poisons Forest ], Wen Yu did not immediately enter the next dungeon.
He chose to return home directly.
Since new items he hadn't seen before had appeared, Wen Yu had to study them carefully.
[ equipment potential attachment card ] Description: Unlocks additional potential for equipment, costs 100,000 gold coins per use.
[ equipment potential elimination card ] Description: Eliminates existing equipment potential, costs 200,000 gold coins per use.
"Unlock additional potential! What kind of potential can it unlock? Let's try it out."
The first piece of equipment Wen Yu chose to attach potential to was naturally his weapon, the [ space staff ]!
Spending 100,000 gold coins, he decisively consumed one [ equipment potential attachment card ]!
[ space staff ] (Diamond) (Upgradeable) (Exclusive) Level: None Description: The exclusive staff of the Space Mage " Time ", cannot be dropped after being equipped. Magic Attack + 2000 Intelligence + 300 Critical Hit Rate + 14% Skill Cooldown Reduction + 7% Skill Range + 7% Upgrade Condition: Kill monsters ≥ own level (21892 / 50000) Potential: 1. Physical/Magic Defense + 120...
"! Is this the additional potential?" Wen Yu was taken aback.
"Since there is one that directly adds defense, is there one that directly adds attack power?"
"But isn't the amount added a bit too low?"
He continued to use the potential card.
Potential: 1. Physical/Magic Defense + 120 2. Agility + 3%...
"Is this the second potential affix unlocked? Agility increased by 3% directly, which means it is possible to directly add attributes, and the increase is not low!"
"If I could unlock Intelligence + 3%, wouldn't my damage skyrocket?"
"I don't know how many affixes can be unlocked in total."
Continue! Another 100,000 gold coins were spent.
Potential: 1. Physical/Magic Defense + 120 2. Agility + 3% 3. When attacked, there is a 10% chance to feel rage for 10 seconds. All Attributes + 3%
"Damn, is this third affix a bit too overpowered? Although the trigger probability is a bit low."...
"Ding! ~"
"Your equipment [ space staff ] has unlocked all affixes, current potential level B!"
Hearing the prompt, Wen Yu understood. As a staff for a mage, this potential was definitely not considered good.
However, Wen Yu was not worried at all. He looked at the potential elimination card again.
"For unsatisfactory affixes, it seems I need to use the potential elimination card to clear them before attaching again."
"Good grief, the amount of gold coins obtained in the early stages is so large, I was wondering why there was nowhere to spend money other than materialization."
"So it was all waiting here!"
Over the past two days, Wen Yu had spent a lot of gold coins materializing skills and equipment, but he hadn't seen any money coming back.
Therefore, his gold coins had been draining rapidly these days. Currently, he only had 40 million-plus gold coins left.
"I need to find a way to get gold coins. Let's see if I can exchange huaxia coin for them later."
Potential elimination!...
"Ding! ~"
"Please select the potential you want to eliminate."
Naturally, Wen Yu chose to eliminate potential 2; Agility + 3% was useless to him.
The space staff flashed with white light, and the Agility + 3% belonging to the second affix disappeared. Even the potential rating vanished along with it.
Continue attaching! Potential: 1. Physical/Magic Defense + 120 2. Strength + 6 3. When attacked, there is a 10% chance to feel rage for 10 seconds. All Attributes + 3%
"Ding! ~"
"Your equipment [ space staff ] has unlocked all affixes, current potential level B!"
"..."
Wen Yu understood; this thing was truly a bottomless pit. If he wanted to attach good potential, the amount of gold coins spent would be significant.
However, Wen Yu didn't care. As long as he could get good potential, whether it added Constitution or Intelligence, it would allow Wen Yu's strength to improve further!
Continue! Potential: 1. Physical/Magic Defense + 120 2. Agility + 3% 3. When attacked, there is a 10% chance to feel rage for 10 seconds. All Attributes + 3%
Back to the starting point again!
Continue! Potential: 1. Physical/Magic Defense + 120 2. All Attributes + 5 3. When attacked, there is a 10% chance to feel rage for 10 seconds. All Attributes + 3%
"All Attributes + 5? I'll keep it for now, let's try swapping the defense attribute!"
Potential: 1. Strength + 3% 2. All Attributes + 5 3. When attacked, there is a 10% chance to feel rage for 10 seconds. All Attributes + 3%
"Strength + 3%, also useless. Continue!"
Potential: 1. All Attributes + 5 2. All Attributes + 5 3. When attacked, there is a 10% chance to feel rage for 10 seconds. All Attributes + 3%
With the current potential, it was still rated as B-level potential. However, Wen Yu had used up all the potential attachment cards.
"This is a bit miserable. 2 million gold coins spent, 8 potential attachment cards, and all I got was 10 points of all attributes."
"A long road ahead indeed."
"Let's continue grinding dungeons. It looks like dungeons after level 60 won't drop skill upgrade cards anymore; they've all turned into this thing."
He returned to the Dungeon Teleporter. This Time, Wen Yu chose to enter the Sunshine City dungeon [ Frost Canyon ]! It was still hell difficulty.
"Come on! The remaining three dungeons! Bring up the intensity!"
With a flash of white light, Wen Yu disappeared from the spot.
"Ding! ~"
"You have entered hell difficulty [ Frost Canyon ]!"
Before he even opened his eyes, Wen Yu felt a bone-chilling wind rushing towards him.
"It's freezing as hell; anyone who didn't know better would think I'd returned to Extreme Ice City."
Looking around, the location he was currently in felt a bit like the demon dungeon he had entered with Ye Qian before.
Looking up, he could see a huge crack running north to south, and he was currently under the crack.
[ Frost Canyon ] was covered in snowflakes, and Wen Yu didn't know how thick the snow under his feet was.
As for ice, only a short distance away from Wen Yu, a huge block of solid ice stood tall.
"Reminder: Please try your best to collect fire seeds and rescue Alice who is trapped in the ice!"
"Countdown 10 minutes! Start!"
"Collect fire seeds, melt the solid ice. Rescue the person inside."
The dungeon reminder was very clear, and Wen Yu understood it.
"So the question is, Frost Canyon, frost! Where the hell am I supposed to find fire seeds?"
He looked around, but there were no so-called fire seeds.
"Let's explore first."
Wen Yu decisively chose a direction and teleported away.
It only took 2 minutes for Wen Yu to explore the entire canyon area.
He actually found a possible source of fire seeds.
A pile of wood monster roots were stuck in the ground, making roars in twos and threes. It seemed like they were communicating with each other.
Insight Technique!
[ Frost Jianmu ] Level: 60 Description: A species unique to Frost Canyon. HP: 140000 Magic Attack: 8000 Defense: 5000 Skills: Entangle (Releases vines to bind enemy units, dealing 200% magic damage and trapping the enemy unit in place for 5 seconds) Thorns (Frost power wraps around vines, dealing 150% magic damage to the target per second for 10 seconds) Recovery (Recovers 5% of max HP per second for 10 seconds)
The stats couldn't be said to be extremely powerful, but they were not bad either.
Compared to the level 50 [ Dragon Herding Prairie ] Qilin, the Frost Jianmu was obviously more troublesome.
However, to Wen Yu, naturally, there was no big difference.
He took out one [ Frost Jianmu ] with a single shot of Void Orb.
"Ding! ~"
"Congratulations on obtaining [ Jianmu Material ]!"
Wen Yu immediately opened his backpack to check.
[ Jianmu Material ] (Quest Item) Description: A material unique to Frost Canyon, can spontaneously combust without wind. Cannot be taken out of the dungeon!
Seeing the description, Wen Yu understood.
"This should be the so-called fire seed material!"
