"Hm?"
"The dungeon mission upgraded?"
The system's sudden notification came as a pleasant surprise to Lin Mo.
His reason for revealing the Princess Tomb's location had simply been to lure out the person behind the Tyrant, the "Boss."
He had never expected that, as the first player to discover the Princess Tomb and choose to make its location public, there would be such a bonus reward.
"So if I had chosen to hide it just now, would I have missed this hidden opportunity?"
Lin Mo couldn't help feeling glad that he had chosen to reveal it.
The World of Divine Oracle truly had surprises everywhere.
While feeling pleased, Lin Mo looked at the panel that had appeared before him: [Choose to upgrade the dungeon mission: Purify the Deity, into the unique hidden dungeon mission: The Princess's Long-Held Wish. Mission progress will be reset, and difficulty will increase (mission rewards will also be greatly increased).]
With such a rare opportunity, there was no way Lin Mo would pass it up.
Without hesitation, he immediately chose to upgrade the mission.
The next moment, the mission panels of all five team members refreshed simultaneously.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[The Princess's Long-Held Wish] (Divine Tomb dungeon Unique Advanced Mission)
Difficulty Rating: 5520
Description: Although Siya, the Seventh Princess of the Divine Race, has died, her will has not faded. She is unwilling to accept that she and her people were corrupted by the dark power of the Dark Demon Race. Players must purify one hundred Divine Guards and enter the Princess Tomb. Find the fallen Divine Race Princess, Her Highness Siya, and purify her...
Mission Reward (Personal): EXP +300 million, Reputation +2000, Gold +1000, Random Tier 5 Equipment ×1, Random A-Rank Skill Book or A-Rank Magic Scroll ×1
Mission Reward (Team): For this run (and the next two future runs) of the Divine Tomb dungeon, all treasure chest rewards obtained will be doubled upon settlement (the original team lineup must enter the dungeon together to receive the doubled chest reward. If there are not enough remaining treasure chests at settlement to support the doubled reward, the maximum possible reward will be granted)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Before the upgrade, the rewards for [Purify the Deity], 80 million EXP, 300 Reputation, 100 Gold, and a random Tier 4 equipment piece, were already enough to make any player carrying out the mission excited.
Now, after the upgrade, the rewards had reached a level that left Qin Feng, Xia Wanwan, and the others very happy.
"My god! Three hundred million EXP? One thousand gold... and Tier 5 equipment?"
"Holy crap! At Divine Oracle's current exchange rate, one thousand gold alone is worth over two million yuan. This reward is enough for me to sell a hundred cars."
"A-Rank skill books, A-Rank magic scrolls, Tier 5 equipment! These are all treasures that money can't buy at this stage!"
The personal rewards were indeed tempting.
But what interested Lin Mo even more was the team reward: double treasure chests.
After all, the core value of the Divine Tomb dungeon was the treasure chests obtained through purifying Divine Guards.
Because these chests could contain large amounts of gold, high-level skill books, high-tier magic scrolls, and other valuable resources.
As someone who could evolve golden equipment, SSS-rank skills, and SSS-rank magic scrolls at any time, Lin Mo wasn't interested in these items themselves.
But he was very interested in their market value.
The value of treasure chests increased tenfold with each level.
Based on market value:
A Level 1 treasure chest was worth about 50,000 yuan.
A Level 2 treasure chest was worth about 500,000 yuan.
A Level 3 treasure chest was worth about 5 million yuan.
Normally, players had to eliminate an entire Black Demon squad and successfully purify a Divine Guard before receiving a random treasure chest reward. These chests were not easy to obtain.
With treasure chests worth this much, if their quantity were doubled, by the time this dungeon run ended, Lin Mo's assets would soar.
Lin Mo wanted to save money.
The five hundred million he currently possessed was far from enough.
After all, fifty million in total top-up rewards could only max out one person's recharge rewards.
And Lin Mo's plans didn't stop with himself.
When the time came, he wanted to max out the cumulative recharge rewards for Ning Xi, Ning Fei, Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, Xia Wanwan, as well as Lu Ye, Zhao Ling'er, Monkey, Fatty, and the others.
Fifty million per person.
The five hundred million he currently had was only enough for ten people's cumulative recharge quotas.
Therefore, Lin Mo intended to gather wealth from all over the world and pour it all into Divine Oracle before the game's descent in two months.
So that both he and everyone close to him could obtain the cumulative recharge rewards.
In addition, compared to the pre-upgrade mission's difficulty rating of 4960, the upgraded mission's difficulty rating had not increased much.
This showed that the greatest challenge of this mission, which had been designated as the dungeon's unique mission, did not lie in the mission itself.
Rather, once the Princess Tomb's location was made public and exposed to every player currently exploring the dungeon, especially after the system had announced that a priceless Level 5 treasure chest was buried within the Princess Tomb, any player who heard the announcement would inevitably gather here.
For the players who received the advanced mission, these competitors were the greatest threat.
Because under normal circumstances, the Princess Tomb remained sealed, and players could not enter it to search for treasure.
Lin Mo had stumbled into unlocking the advanced mission by chance, gaining temporary access to the Princess Tomb through this unique method.
"The mission progress has been reset, Brother Lin Mo. We'll have to purify Divine Guards again before we can enter the Princess Tomb and purify the princess."
As soon as Ning Xi finished speaking, Ling Xiao checked the time and said, "There's still an hour left in the dungeon. At our previous speed, we'll definitely make it in time."
Although the mission progress had been reset and the number of Divine Guards that needed to be purified had doubled to one hundred, completing the mission would still not be difficult.
But what Lin Mo wanted wasn't merely to finish the mission.
Since the number of treasure chests would be doubled, he naturally intended to make the most of every opportunity to enter the Divine Tomb and farm as many treasure chests as possible.
At the same time, as the dungeon mission completed its upgrade, streams of black light descended around the Princess Tomb.
The system had begun spawning Dark Priests and Black Demons again.
Since only a small number spawned each time, using SSS-rank magic scrolls to clear them now would not only be wasteful, but would also alert the "prey."
So Lin Mo chose the simplest method, killing them by hand.
"Anyone who disturbs Her Highness the Princess shall die!"
Following the command of three newly spawned Dark Priests, dozens of Black Demons bared their fangs and charged forward.
Without a word, the group immediately entered combat.
In truth, Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, and Xia Wanwan were not weak.
They wore Tier 4 and Tier 5 equipment and possessed SS-rank skills. Their strength had already reached the level of top-tier players in Purgatory City.
The problem was that with Lin Mo and Ning Xi around, they simply had no chance to show it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Under the extreme attack and armor-breaking buffs of the Divine Advent Seraph's SSS-rank Light: Holy Light Protection, Lin Mo unleashed an SSS-rank World-Destroying Storm Arrow Rain, instantly wiping out dozens of Black Demons across a huge area with absurd group damage.
Immediately afterward, Ning Xi swung her staff and used one A-rank skill after another, each amplified tenfold, instantly harvesting the three Dark Priests in the rear.
Ling Xiao and the others didn't even get a chance to attack!
Qin Feng: "That's ridiculous!"
Xia Wanwan: "Why are we even here?"
Ling Xiao: "To fill the numbers."
Qin Feng: "Hahaha! Exactly! Without the three of us, those two monsters couldn't even enter the dungeon."
After the SSS-rank talent Supreme Sovereign advanced to the fourth stage and unlocked speed enhancement, Ning Xi gained ten times casting speed, combined with ten times damage.
Her damage output exploded.
One wave ended, and another began.
After the earlier groups of Black Demons were completely wiped out, batch after batch of Black Demons soon respawned outside the Princess Tomb.
Under the Dark Priests' commands, they continuously launched attacks against Lin Mo's group.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo and Ning Xi, two holders of SSS-rank talents working together, thoroughly enjoyed the endless waves of Black Demon assaults.
As for Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, and Xia Wanwan, they could only stare blankly as their experience bars shot upward.
Inside the dungeon's temporary storage space, the number of treasure chests of all grades was also increasing at a visible rate.
"Are we even running an dungeon?"
"Why does it feel like we came along with Brother Mo to stock up on goods?"
"Senior Lin Mo is going to farm every treasure chest in this dungeon by himself."
"Damn! One Level 1 treasure chest is worth more than what I make selling two cars. Why the hell would I keep selling cars? I'm done! From now on, I'm following Brother Mo."
