Chapter 133: [Sacred Heaven]
"What kind of place is Sacred Heaven?"
Full of anticipation, Wen Yu left [Echo Canyon] and immediately entered [Sacred Heaven].
Having just entered, he hadn't opened his eyes yet, but that didn't stop him from speculating about the name "Sacred Heaven."
[Sacred Heaven] was also a single-player dungeon; players could not enter while in a party.
Wen Yu guessed that all four level 70 dungeons were likely the same; as the gatekeepers for the third class advancement, they certainly lived up to their reputation!
And when Wen Yu actually opened his eyes, what appeared before him was: a castle resembling medieval Europe...
"..."
Looking at the familiar castle before him, Wen Yu really couldn't be bothered to complain anymore.
"Fine, fine, fine. You're just going to milk the same castle asset, aren't you? You used it for Minotaur Castle, you used it for bloody heaven, and damn it, it's still the same one for Sacred Heaven!"
"I shouldn't have had any expectations for you in the first place!"
However, after looking around, Wen Yu noticed the differences compared to the previous two dungeons.
After entering the [Sacred Heaven] dungeon, the sky was no longer dim as before; the sunlight shone directly onto Wen Yu's face, making him feel all warm.
The surroundings were no longer overgrown with weeds, and a meticulously arranged small garden appeared before Wen Yu.
Wen Yu couldn't identify what kind of flowers and plants they were, but they looked exquisite.
Opening his screen recorder, Wen Yu decided to save the scene of this garden onto his phone, so he could show it to Aunt Huang later and have her redecorate the garden downstairs based on this look.
He had long wanted to chop down that big tree downstairs that was blocking his view.
"Ding!~"
"You have entered hell difficulty [Sacred Heaven]. The dungeon will enter nighttime in 3 minutes!"
"Dungeon countdown: 10 minutes! Start!"
...
The abrupt dungeon notification sounded, and honestly, Wen Yu didn't understand it at all.
"What happens when it enters nighttime?"
But it didn't matter. He'd face whatever came his way. It was just a small level 70 dungeon; how hard could it possibly be?
He lifted his feet and walked toward the familiar castle.
He fired a Void Orb! The gate shattered directly into four pieces!
-1,000,000
"?..."
Wen Yu clearly remembered that the doors in the previous [Minotaur Castle] and [bloody heaven] only had 10,000 HP. How did it become 1,000,000 here?
"Sorry, if I had known you were a BOSS, I should have used Insight Technique to check your attributes properly."
He walked into the church, and a huge teleportation array appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
[Sacred Heaven teleportation array]
Description: You can travel to Sacred Heaven through this teleportation array!
Seeing this description, Wen Yu naturally had to give it a try.
He walked onto the teleportation array, but what Wen Yu expected to happen did not occur.
"Ding!~"
"Unable to teleport!"
"..."
It won't let him leave?
Wen Yu fired another Void Orb at the teleportation array.
The orb exploded upon contact with the teleportation array, but the array itself did not take any damage.
It won't let him destroy it?
Then what should he do next?
The only hint from the dungeon was that it would turn dark in 3 minutes.
Wen Yu had already circled the entire castle and hadn't discovered any other possible gameplay mechanics.
"Since that's the case, I can only wait for it to get dark."
Crossing his arms, Wen Yu just leaned against the castle entrance and waited.
...
Three minutes passed in a flash!
The sky suddenly turned dark. There was no concept of evening; it jumped directly from bright sunshine to a starry night with a bright moon!
From the previously quiet and peaceful garden, bursts of roaring sounds emerged!
Arm after arm stretched out from the ground, knocking over all of Wen Yu's "beloved" flowers and plants, crushing them into the dust...
"You guys really deserve to die..."
As the monsters rose from the dust one by one, Wen Yu clearly saw their appearance.
They were humanoid monsters with no eyes and no ears, their claws sharp and pointed, and their teeth were the same!
Drops of foul-smelling yellow liquid dripped from their bodies onto the ground, corroding holes into it.
"What kind of garbage is this?!"
[Ghoul]
Level: 70
Description: A ghoul deep in despair, whose only goal is to enter Sacred Heaven and achieve transcendence!
HP: 200,000
Physical Attack: 20,000
Defense: 12,000
Skills:
Scratch (Deals 200% physical damage to the "door", cannot deal any damage to players.)
"So this dungeon is about stopping the ghouls from entering Sacred Heaven, is that the idea?"
"Deals 200% physical damage to the door... cannot deal any damage to players..."
Wen Yu looked down at the castle gate on the ground that he had blown to pieces...
Good brother, you were an ally...
"So the correct way to play this dungeon is to stand outside the castle, find a way to protect the gate, prevent the ghouls from breaking through the gate's defense line, and then stop them from walking onto the teleportation array."
The brainless system prompt was just pure trolling...
But it didn't matter to Wen Yu. Without a door, he would be the final line of defense.
The ghouls were already attacking toward the castle, their speed not particularly fast.
Wen Yu stopped thinking and activated Endless Black Hole right at the castle entrance!
Ghouls were not very intelligent creatures; they only had Sacred Heaven in their hearts, ignoring Wen Yu's skills and just charging toward the castle one after another.
The 10 seconds of continuous Endless Black Hole flashes could take out a large number of ghouls every second.
After the duration of Endless Black Hole ended, Wen Yu continued to cast Ice Shard.
When the Ice Shard duration ended, he used Chain Lightning and Void Lock Target in combination.
In between, he interspersed his Explosive Stance.
It was actually quite easy to block the monsters outside the castle.
"This dungeon completely tests for high damage. In terms of the normal strategy for clearing it, as long as your damage is high enough to kill the monsters before they break down the door, you can ensure a successful clear!"
Although the dungeon countdown was a full 10 minutes, the actual time you had to kill monsters was only 7 minutes. It was a single-player dungeon, so there wasn't really any tactical setup involved.
Wen Yu didn't know what the first three minutes were for...
Time passed quickly. With Wen Yu guarding the castle gate, no monsters could get close at all.
It took Wen Yu about 2 minutes to kill all the monsters.
At this moment, even more intense roars came from underground!
Wen Yu knew that the BOSS was about to come out.
[King-level Ghoul] (Legendary BOSS)
Level: 70
Description: A ghoul deep in despair, whose only goal is to enter Sacred Heaven and achieve transcendence!
HP: 600,000
Physical Attack: 28,000
Defense: 11,000
Skills:
Scratch (Deals 300% physical damage to the "door", cannot deal any damage to players.)
Corrosion (Damage causes a corrosion effect, dealing 100% physical damage per second to the attacked target for 10 seconds.)
"I don't know if the door has any defense. If it doesn't, the door won't be able to withstand a few scratches from this BOSS..."
He directly sent the BOSS back to "Sacred Heaven" with a Chain Lightning!
"Ding!~"
"Killed [King-level Ghoul], obtained EXP +700,000"
"Congratulations on obtaining [Illusion Bow]"
"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"
The Illusion Bow was a weapon for the Archer's third class advancement, [Windfeather Archer].
If Wen Yu remembered correctly, he had encountered the [Windfeather Archer] class once before.
When the Demon race invaded, the Demon leader of Moonlight City was this so-called [Windfeather Archer] class!
"Got another skill materialization card. Is it my good luck? Or has the skill materialization card become a guaranteed drop in level 70 dungeons?"
Having successfully cleared [Sacred Heaven], Wen Yu didn't linger.
"Next victim, please step up!"
With a flash of white light, Wen Yu disappeared from the castle.
And the sky of [Sacred Heaven] finally brightened up again...
***
Chapter 134: Demon Invasion Warning!
Having successfully cleared "Sacred Heaven", Wen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"This dungeon isn't difficult for me, but for ordinary players, trying to clear a solo dungeon on hell difficulty is a bit like trying to reach the heavens."
However, Wen Yu also noticed the characteristics of the dungeon.
"Perhaps because it's a solo dungeon, the BOSS's HP and various attributes are sometimes not even as strong as a level 60 BOSS."
The two BOSSes he encountered only had 600,000 HP, while Wen Yu remembered the "Pegasus" he had killed with Li Jue back then.
Even though it was also a Legendary BOSS, its HP was a full 1 million!
Collecting his thoughts, Wen Yu looked at the remaining two dungeons.
"seaside sunbathing" (Sunshine City)
"ghost blows out the light" (Starlight City)
Honestly, after such a long journey through dungeons, the ones Wen Yu found most annoying were actually the Sunshine City dungeons.
Each dungeon name sounded quite sunny and relaxed.
But after actually entering, they wouldn't let anyone relax for even a second.
"Sunshine Coast" was like that, and Wen Yu believed "seaside sunbathing" would have the same effect.
After entering the dungeon, as Wen Yu expected, the sea breeze caressed his cheeks, the sunlight shone down, and an indescribable sense of comfort washed over him.
At the same time, the sound of waves crashing against the shore reached Wen Yu's ears.
"..."
"I don't dare to open my eyes. With this familiar feeling, I hope it's not another group of giant crabs once I open them..."
However, not opening his eyes was impossible, so gathering his courage, Wen Yu opened his eyes.
What met his eyes was indeed no different from "Sunshine Coast", but...
"Yo? No giant crabs? Such a normal beach? Is it finally time for This Person Wen to enjoy himself?"
However, after standing there for only a moment, Wen Yu felt his whole body heating up.
"Is this supposed to be enjoyment?"
Looking up at the sky, a shocking scene appeared—a full five suns appeared in Wen Yu's line of sight!
"Ding!~"
"You have entered "seaside sunbathing" on hell difficulty. Please lower the coastal temperature to normal levels as soon as possible!"
"Dungeon countdown: 10 minutes! Start!"
"Reminder: No recovery items can be used in this dungeon!"
"Reminder: While in the "seaside sunbathing" area, each sun inflicts 20% of max HP as burn damage per minute!"
...
Hearing the dungeon reminder, Wen Yu felt that this dungeon wasn't difficult for him at all.
It wasn't true damage either. With five suns overhead, it was dealing 100% of his max HP per minute, which was only 25,191 points. This amount of damage was nothing in front of his "Magic Shield".
However, whether it was true damage or not would only be clear after actually losing HP.
Looking around, the beach was empty, and he didn't know how to lower the temperature.
However, Wen Yu had a rough guess in his mind.
"Hou Yi, the Hou Yi Bow is legendary as a divine artifact capable of shooting down the sun. If I shoot down four suns, will that lower it to normal levels?"
Just as Wen Yu was thinking, urgent system notifications rang out frantically!
"Ding!~"
"World Announcement: The Demon Race will launch an attack on all First-Tier Main Cities, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Main Cities of all countries at around 9:00 AM on September 30th. Players, please defend your homeland!"
"World Announcement: The Demon Race will launch an attack on all First-Tier Main Cities, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Main Cities of all countries at around 9:00 AM on September 30th. Players, please defend your homeland!"
"World Announcement: The Demon Race will launch an attack on all First-Tier Main Cities, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Main Cities of all countries at around 9:00 AM on September 30th. Players, please defend your homeland!"
The familiar triple notification sound rang out, instantly bringing Wen Yu back to that war-torn September 11th!
It made Wen Yu instantly recall those figures that had dissipated in the wind.
The system notification clearly didn't intend to consider Wen Yu's feelings and continued to broadcast "heartlessly".
"Ding!~"
"World Announcement: The third Demon Race invasion is coming. A point exchange system has been specially opened for this event. After the event ends, you can exchange for rich rewards at the "Integral Exchange Officer" in each main city!"
"World Announcement: The third Demon Race invasion is coming. A point exchange system has been specially opened for this event. After the event ends, you can exchange for rich rewards at the "Integral Exchange Officer" in each main city!"
"World Announcement: The third Demon Race invasion is coming. A point exchange system has been specially opened for this event. After the event ends, you can exchange for rich rewards at the "Integral Exchange Officer" in each main city!"
The flames of war reignited, and the sealed point exchange system appeared before the world once again!
"If the city defense event fails, the affiliated main city will be destroyed, and players in that main city will be unable to log in for 24 hours. After 24 hours, they will be randomly assigned to other main cities."
"Please participate actively!"
Wen Yu took a deep breath. It seemed that after finishing the dungeon, it was time to find Cao Yifan and have a good chat.
"9:00 AM tomorrow?"
"I wonder how many main cities will face destruction this time."
Li Jue's message was the first to arrive.
"Brother Yu, the Demon Race has invaded!"
"Yeah, I saw it. I don't know if I'll need to go to a First-Tier Main City for garrison duty this time. If not, you can act with me when the time comes." Wen Yu continued to comfort him: "It's fine, don't be afraid."
"It's not like you'll actually die. When the time comes, turn on your screen recording and make sure to record the Demon Race's dialogue. In the future, this will be a powerful weapon for us to fight against the Demon Race!"
Finishing the conversation with Li Jue, he glanced at his friend list. Lin Sirong was still busy with real-life matters and was not online.
He sent a message to Wang Bin asking about the country's plans, and Wang Bin replied to Wen Yu instantly.
Later, "Sharp Blade" would convene the major guilds for an in-game meeting.
They would strive to divide everyone's city defense zones so that no main city would be left under-defended.
However, Wang Bin was not planning to let Wen Yu attend this city defense meeting.
"If you don't need to go to a First-Tier Main City for garrison duty, just act as a firefighter—run to wherever trouble breaks out!"
"Everyone cooperate, and try our best to protect all four major main cities and the remaining six Tier 3 Main Cities!"
"..."
It was the same old saying: soldiers come to block, water comes to cover—take things as they come.
"Looks like tomorrow is going to be busy."
Collecting his thoughts, Wen Yu looked at the dungeon countdown: only 4 minutes and 45 seconds remained.
Wen Yu had also grasped the HP loss mechanism of "seaside sunbathing". The HP loss wasn't true damage; all the lost HP was blocked by his shield.
Every minute, a damage value of 20,153 would float above Wen Yu's head.
This was 80% of Wen Yu's total HP.
"It seems that of the 5 suns overhead, only 4 need to be "resolved" by default. Leaving 1 sun is enough to lower the temperature to normal levels."
"Therefore, only those four suns can deal damage to me."
Wen Yu continued to explore the surrounding area. Up to this point in the dungeon, he was still clueless about how to actually "eliminate" the suns.
As it turned out, the dungeon exploration progress was fast. After just a few teleports, a longbow floating in the air entered Wen Yu's field of vision.
"It's this simple?"
"Hou Yi Bow" (Special Item)
Description: The legendary divine bow carried by Hou Yi, capable of easily shooting down the suns! Special item, cannot be taken out to reality.
Class Requirement: None
When Wen Yu approached the Hou Yi Bow, he was surprised to find his path blocked by a transparent barrier!
"Formation Barrier" Level: 70 Description: The sole purpose of this barrier is to protect the Hou Yi Bow! HP: 600,000 Attack: 1 Defense: 10,000...
Wen Yu blasted the barrier with a "Void Orb", instantly shattering it into pieces.
Wen Yu successfully grasped the "Hou Yi Bow" in his hand.
"Isn't this easy?"
He raised the bow, aimed at the sky, and pulled it with force!
He saw countless rays of golden light gathering at the tip of the bow, instantly transforming into an arrow!
Wen Yu aimed the bow at one of the suns!
He fired the arrow! The arrow let out a sharp whistling sound as it pierced through the air!
In just an instant, it reached the location of the sun!
In Wen Yu's line of sight, the sun seemed to have truly been struck by an arrow; it fell toward the horizon and finally disappeared.
"That should do it, right?"
Just at that moment, there was only one minute left until the end of the countdown!
- 15,115
Compared to last time, Wen Yu's HP bar had only dropped by 60%!
"OK, I can clear the level."
Just as Wen Yu wanted to raise the bow to continue shooting, he was surprised to find the divine bow in his hand suddenly turn into golden light and dissipate into the air.
He immediately looked back, and the barrier that had originally sealed the divine bow was still in a ruined state.
"It seems that, in all likelihood, I need to find four barriers and liberate the four longbows sealed within them..."
***
Chapter 135 [ ghost blows out the light ]
After experiencing one failure, the mechanics of [ seaside sunbathing ] were successfully cracked by Wen Yu.
Entering the dungeon for the second time, Wen Yu found the locations of the four barriers with extreme speed.
It is worth mentioning that the locations of the barriers were not fixed.
The locations of the barriers Wen Yu found when entering [ seaside sunbathing ] last time were empty this time.
" A dungeon for finding and breaking barriers. "
With Wen Yu's current 0.1 cooldown blink, finding the barriers was not difficult at all.
Entering [ seaside sunbathing ] for the second time, it took him only 3 minutes to clear it!
Thinking about the barrier mechanism, Wen Yu wondered: " Can [ Trace Amount ] pass directly through the barrier? Isn't it supposed to be able to penetrate any material? "
As for the dungeon rewards, besides the standard [ equipment potential attachment card ] and [ equipment potential elimination card ], Wen Yu obtained another [ skill materialization card ]!
This made Wen Yu feel even more that the [ skill materialization card ] must be a guaranteed drop in level 70 dungeons.
The gear dropped for Wen Yu in [ seaside sunbathing ] also let him know what the Ice Mage's third advancement class was actually called.
[ Ice Lightning Mage ]!
" It seems that the Fire Mage's third advancement enhances sustained damage, while the control-focused Ice Mage's enhancement is instantaneous burst damage. "
Having successfully cleared [ seaside sunbathing ], Wen Yu turned his gaze to the final dungeon, [ ghost blows out the light ].
" Lighting a candle? ghost blows out the light? "
...
——————
After entering the dungeon, Wen Yu's vision was replaced by darkness.
Looking at the candlestick in his hand, Wen Yu fell into deep thought...
" What is this? Is it really grave robbing? "
The candlestick in his hand looked somewhat like those used by ancient imperial nobles, though history had already left mottled marks upon it.
On top of it, a short candle was burning with a faint light.
" Ding! ~ "
" You have entered the hell difficulty [ ghost blows out the light ]! Please ensure the candle flame continues to burn! And light the candle on top of the ghost coffin! "
" System Prompt: Fire-type power cannot affect any candle-type items in the dungeon! "
" Dungeon countdown: 10 minutes! Start! "
Hearing the familiar dungeon prompt, Wen Yu's heart settled down.
" Thankfully, it's another dungeon with a countdown, so I don't have to waste too much time. "
" The dungeon prompt says to keep the candle flame burning. Combined with the dungeon name, it must mean there are ghosts coming to blow out the candle. "
He shone the candlelight around, but found no traces of ghosts.
" Are they ghosts I can't see? That's impossible, right? He isn't messing with space in front of me, is he? "
After walking around the wall with the candlelight, Wen Yu finally saw where the path was.
An iron door had locked Wen Yu in the secret room.
During this time, the candle flame remained burning, and nothing abnormal happened.
Time slipped away little by little. Wen Yu searched the secret room over and over again, but didn't see any key-like items.
Just as Wen Yu was about to lower his guard...
A cold breeze blew toward the candle in Wen Yu's hand. Wen Yu reacted quickly, immediately adjusting his position to shield the candle in front of him, using his back to block the erosion of the cold breeze!
No damage was dealt, and Wen Yu immediately looked up!
[ Wisdom Ghost ]
Level: 70
Description: A ghost full of wisdom, capable of sensing whether a person has lowered their guard.
Health Points: 180000
Magic Attack: 1
Defense: 10000
Skills:
ghost blows out the light (Blows cold air at the candle; if the light goes out, the person dies!)
" It's you again, these shameless things... "
The familiar 1 point of attack, the familiar instant-kill skill...
He backhanded a Magic Missile!
" Ding! ~ "
" Congratulations on obtaining [ Iron Door Key ]! ~ "
It was simple: kill the monster to get the key, and open the doors one by one.
He glanced at the remaining time; only 6 minutes and 15 seconds left.
" I wasted more than 3 minutes on the first level. The key is, how does it determine if I've lowered my guard? "
" If I never lower my guard, wouldn't it just hide for 10 minutes without coming out? "
Using the key he obtained, Wen Yu skillfully walked inside.
To prevent a sneak attack, Wen Yu chose to release Endless Black Hole directly!
However, the familiar prompt sound did not ring.
" The ghost hasn't started work yet? "
Just as he finished speaking, Wen Yu noticed a black shadow rushing toward him from the side!
To prevent the cold breeze from eroding the flame, Wen Yu turned around at the first opportunity and looked up.
[ Agility Ghost ]
Level: 70
Description: A ghost with extreme speed, capable of snatching the candle with its lightning-fast speed!
Health Points: 180000
Magic Attack: 1
Defense: 10000
Skills:
ghost blows out the light (Blows cold air at the candle; if the light goes out, the person dies!)
" Agility Ghost? It's already on the clock, why is there no damage? "
" Does it have to enter my field of vision before it's allowed to attack? "
Chain Lightning struck down from above the [ Agility Ghost ]'s head!
The ghost was instantly reduced to nothing.
" Ding! ~ "
" Congratulations on obtaining [ Copper Door Key ]! ~ "
" This time it's a copper door. "
Searching the secret room, he successfully found the location of the copper door.
Opening the door and entering the next secret room, this time the ghost was standing right in front of Wen Yu.
[ Power Ghost ]
Level: 70
Description: A ghost with immense power! Please protect your candle from being snatched!
Health Points: 180000
Physical Attack: 30000
Defense: 10000
Skills:
ghost blows out the light (Blows cold air at the candle; if the light goes out, the person dies!)
By this point in the dungeon, Wen Yu had gotten a sense of things; all the ghosts were centered around blowing out the candle. Although the Power Ghost had 30,000 physical attack, Wen Yu estimated that it wouldn't deal terrifying damage if it actually hit him.
As for engaging in a brawl with the ghost, the candle would definitely go out.
He used Void Lock Target to insta-kill the [ Power Ghost ].
This time, the system prompt said he obtained the [ Silver Door Key ].
" Heh, the next one to fight will be the [ Constitution Ghost ], and the one that drops will be the gold door key. "
——————
As for guessing, Wen Yu was indeed right, but only halfway.
When Wen Yu entered the Silver Door, the surroundings were still pitch black, but the ghost coffin in the middle of the dungeon deeply attracted Wen Yu's attention.
This must be the ghost coffin the dungeon prompt wanted me to light, right?
He walked forward and, using the candle he had been "carefully protecting," lit the candlestick on top of the ghost coffin.
Instantly! A bright light flared!
The entire dungeon space suddenly brightened up!
Wen Yu looked up and around; he saw that the walls were now filled with candles, all of which were in a burning state.
And the candlestick in his hand had completely extinguished.
A knocking sound came from the coffin in front of him, and then the coffin lid flipped open!
A huge ghost sat up from the coffin!
[ Constitution Ghost ] (Legendary BOSS)
Level: 70
Health Points: 1000000
Physical Attack: 1
Defense: 30000
Skills:
ghost blows out the light (Blows cold air at the candle; if the light goes out, the person dies!)
"... "
What is this? Wen Yu looked up at the candles on the surrounding walls.
There were 10 in total.
" If you blow out all 10 candles, I die? "
The Constitution Ghost stood up from the coffin. Its speed was extremely slow as it walked toward the candles on the wall, not even glancing at Wen Yu.
It was as if the bright tomb had disturbed its slumber...
Wen Yu wasn't in a hurry to make a move; he just watched the Constitution Ghost walk.
Finally, the Constitution Ghost walked in front of the first candlestick and gently blew out a breath of cold air; the candle extinguished instantly.
And Wen Yu's health dropped by 10% instantly!
" Whoa! It's true damage? "
Watching the monster continue walking toward the second candle, Wen Yu lost the leisure to "watch."
A single Chain Lightning sent the BOSS away.
" Ding! ~ "
" Killed [ Constitution Ghost ], obtained Experience + 700000 "
***
Chapter 136: Pre-war Preparation!
After leaving the [ghost blows out the light] dungeon, the system rewarded Wen Yu with another Level 70 Legendary set piece.
The standard rewards were also all present.
Upon leaving the dungeon, Wen Yu immediately summarized the four major Level 70 dungeons.
"Perhaps because they are single-player dungeons, none of the Level 70 bosses are particularly powerful. If I had to pick the strongest, it would be the Constitution Ghost in [ghost blows out the light]. After all, with a full 30,000 defense, that's not something an average player can take down."
"Next would probably be [seaside sunbathing]. With that amount of HP drain, if you don't have good survival methods, you simply can't stand in that dungeon."
"The difficulty of Sacred Heaven is clearly far lower than the other three dungeons. After all, there are doors that can help players block the ghouls outside. As long as your killing speed isn't too slow, everyone should have a chance to clear it."
——
Opening the regional chat channel, the topic players were discussing had already turned to the Demon invasion.
Wen Yu also planned to log off later to take a look; the forums were probably completely occupied by this matter by now, right?
But now was not the Time for Wen Yu to rest.
"First, go find Cao Yifan to see if any hidden quests can be triggered, then go grind monsters to upgrade the space mage set to Epic quality!"
With the Demon invasion tomorrow, Wen Yu had to upgrade his space set today no matter what; every bit of extra insurance helped.
...
However, this Demon invasion left Wen Yu disappointed.
Cao Yifan: "With the Demon invasion imminent, we four city lords must also head to the First-Tier Main City to provide support. In the meantime, Chen Ping will remain in charge of our Moonlight City."
"Enforcer, this is a matter of great importance. The safety of the Second-Tier Main City is entrusted to you. Please, you must ensure the safety of the thousands of citizens of our Moonlight City!"
"Ding! ~"
"Hidden quest triggered — [Sitting in Command]!"
"Description: Due to the Demon invasion, Moonlight City Lord Cao Yifan entrusts you and Chen Ping to work together to garrison Moonlight City!"
"Accept quest?"
Quest reward: [enforcer mask] upgrade!
Quest failure penalty: Moonlight City destroyed
Quest Time limit: None
"Accept!"
Being unable to head to the First-Tier Main City disappointed Wen Yu.
However, seeing the reward for this garrison quest: [enforcer mask] upgrade.
Wen Yu still gladly accepted the result.
Ever since he reached the Second-Tier Main City, the [enforcer mask] hadn't provided any help to Wen Yu, other than when he wore it to farm rabbits.
Wen Yu also wanted to know just how much it could be upgraded this Time.
"This is already an artifact now, and it's upgrading again? Could there be a grade above artifacts?"
...
Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Wen Yu chose to teleport to Human King City.
Among the monsters in the Second-Tier Main City, only those in Human King City were pleasing to Wen Yu's eyes.
Arriving at the Level 70 monster area in Human King City, the [Black Rock Sheep] living here looked delicious no matter how he looked at them.
[Black Rock Sheep]
Level: 70
HP: 40,000
Physical Attack: 9,000
Defense: 7,000
Skills:
Hook Horn (Deals 150% physical damage to enemy units, with a 40% chance to knock the opponent to the ground!)
After reading the attributes of the Level 70 monsters, Wen Yu couldn't help but sigh; weak, simply too weak...
Recalling his humble days killing [Grizzly Bears] in the Novice Village, the current monsters could no longer catch Wen Yu's eye.
Reconfirming his equipment upgrade progress, Diamond (38452 / 50000).
Wen Yu chose to start grinding immediately!
...
It was more than two hours later when Wen Yu upgraded his equipment to Epic.
Killing monsters was naturally no problem for Wen Yu, but he encountered the same problem.
The monster respawn rate couldn't keep up with Wen Yu's killing speed at all.
"I hope that once I get to the First-Tier Main City, the monsters will spawn in greater numbers..."
With the experience bonus from the space set, Wen Yu's level had reached Level 67 (737412 / 9912000).
And the stats of the upgraded space mage set also satisfied Wen Yu.
