[d Must Die First (Male, Lv55 Third-Turn Assassin, Bronze II): "Holy shit! A rare hidden dungeon?"]
[Wangzai Daqiao (Female, Lv53 Third-Turn Healer, Black Iron IV): "Isn't it just a dungeon? Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"]
[One Night Seven Times (Male, Lv54 Third-Turn Berserker, Bronze I): "There are really people this clueless? Just the activation reward alone is one thousand gold, an S-rank skill book, an orange title, and 1,000 reputation! Converted into cash value, that's worth at least 20 million yuan! Figure out the value of the dungeon yourself!"]
[Two and a Half Years of Practice (Male, Lv54 Third-Turn Magic Knight, Black Iron V): "Anyone want to team up for the dungeon? Invite me! I'm a B-rank talent expert!"]
[As Long As Your Name Isn't As Long As Mine (Male, Lv55 Third-Turn Thief, Bronze I): "Stop dreaming. I'm farming in the area near the Divine Tomb dungeon right now. I just went over to take a look. You need at least Silver rank to get in. There are only two Silver-rank players in all of Inferno City right now."]
[I'm Just Bad (Female, Lv54 Third-Turn Arcane Mage, Bronze I): "In theory, you don't actually need to reach Silver rank. You just need Bronze Rank III, then use three D-rank Rank Scrolls to temporarily reach Silver Rank I and enter the dungeon."]
[It's Lonely at the Top (Male, Lv56 Third-Turn Sword and Shield Warrior, Bronze II): "Buying D-rank Rank Scrolls at a high price. Message me with screenshots if you have any."]
By releasing news of the dungeon first and making all the players in the city realize its value, expanding their desire to enter and obtain resources, Lin Mo's first objective had already been achieved.
Next, he just needed to let things develop naturally.
Once the Bronze Rank II players at the top tier of the ranking list gradually realized that the fastest way to enter the dungeon tomorrow was by relying on D-rank Rank Scrolls, and discovered that nobody in Inferno City had such scrolls,
Lin Mo could start selling them.
So before that, he wasn't in a hurry.
He let the discussions continue in Inferno City's chat channel.
Then he turned his attention to Ning Xi.
"Did the tenfold reward boost trigger?"
"Mhm!", Ning Xi nodded and said, "I spent 150,000 reputation and got 10,000 gold and ten S-rank skill books."
"As for the title, I chose quality enhancement. The original orange title Explorer became red quality."
After the hundredfold reputation bonus from Supreme Emperor, the system also rewarded her with 100,000 reputation.
Which meant the enhancement had effectively only cost Ning Xi 50,000 reputation.
Trading just 50,000 reputation for that much reward was absolutely worth it.
At this time, Lin Mo opened his inventory and counted the gold he had accumulated recently.
A full 20,000 gold.
Adding the 10,000 gold Ning Xi had just received from the system reward, they had exactly 30,000 gold.
"Come on, upgrade your talent."
Ning Xi looked a little reluctant.
"Brother Lin Mo, 30,000 gold is worth so much money according to the official exchange rate right now."
Lin Mo didn't care, "It's fine. As long as you have strength, money can always be earned."
There were still more than two months before Divine Oracle descended.
Lin Mo still had plenty of time to make money and increase his recharge amount.
As for Ning Xi's SSS-rank talent, Supreme Emperor:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
First Stage: Tenfold Damage Enhancement.
Second Stage: 90% Damage Reduction Enhancement.
Third Stage: Tenfold Reward Enhancement.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The three heaven-defying effects it already possessed made anyone curious about what the Fourth Stage would unlock.
So, under Lin Mo's insistence, Ning Xi spent 30,000 gold and completed the talent upgrade.
[Ding~ Congratulations! Your SSS-rank talent Supreme Emperor has advanced to the Fourth Stage. A new effect has been unlocked!]
At this moment, Ning Xi shared her talent panel.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Supreme Emperor] (Unique SSS-Rank Talent · Fourth Stage)
Description: The authority of an emperor increases all reputation gained through any reward-based method in Divine Oracle by 100 times. In battle, reputation can be consumed to enhance combat ability.

Effect 3: Reward Enhancement (Whenever obtaining a reward, you may consume the corresponding amount of reputation to increase that reward by ten times. Experience and reputation rewards cannot be enhanced. The reputation cost depends on the value of the reward.)

Effect 5: Locked (Unlocks when Supreme Emperor reaches the Fifth Stage.)
[Advancement Requirement: 200,000 Gold]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
'Tenfold casting speed?'
Lin Mo was stunned.
Everyone knew that Elemental Mage was the highest skill-damage class among Divine Oracle's eight main classes and sixteen advanced classes.
The damage multiplier of SSS-rank single-target skills for other classes was usually around 700%.
But an Elemental Mage's SSS-rank single-target skill could reach as high as 1000%.
The fatal weakness of Elemental Mages, however, was that every skill had a casting delay.
Anyone who liked playing mages in games knew that even a delay of just 0.1 seconds greatly affected gameplay.
Against opponents who relied on awareness and skill, that 0.1-second casting delay was a mage's weak point.
Even though Ning Xi possessed tenfold damage and incredible burst power, she still couldn't escape the limitation of slow casting.
But now, after unlocking tenfold casting speed, Ning Xi activated the system's testing function and summoned a training dummy.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The speed was unbelievable.
Ten skills per second.
No casting delay at all.
Every skill was instant-cast.
Hit whatever she pointed at.
[Highest DPS: 3,583,670!]
When Ning Xi's DPS number appeared on the training dummy, Lin Mo froze where he stood.
'This... is simply terrifying!'
One had to know that DPS testing had always been the proud stage of Archers and Assassins.
Yet Lin Mo, as a Soul Archer, with the 200% bonus normal attack damage and attack speed provided by the SS-rank Black Dragon Clan divine artifact Black Dragon Emperor Ring, had only reached a maximum DPS of 1,243,529.
Ning Xi's DPS was three times Lin Mo's.
With this tenfold casting speed, Ning Xi had become even more unstoppable.
"Looks like those 30,000 gold weren't wasted."
But the next advancement required 200,000 gold.
That would have to wait for a while...
At this time, Lin Mo arrived at the warehouse.
His SSS-rank talent Soul Flame had also just advanced to the Fifth Stage and unlocked Scroll Incineration.
Because all his magic scrolls had been stored in the warehouse, he hadn't been able to test it earlier.
Now, Lin Mo could finally evolve SSS-rank magic scrolls.
Opening the warehouse, the system showed the current number of magic scrolls stored inside: 1,124 E-rank Magic Scrolls, 233 D-rank Magic Scrolls, 79 C-rank Magic Scrolls, 21 A-rank Magic Scrolls.
Ever since he had decided to build a national server guild, Lin Mo had kept every magic scroll he obtained.
Partly because the guild would need them in the future.
And partly because he had been preparing for his talent.
Lin Mo had known that Soul Flame would eventually unlock Scroll Incineration.
He just hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
And now, the preparation he had made was finally about to pay off.
"With this many scrolls, I should be able to evolve quite a few SSS-rank magic scrolls."
"Come on, let's begin the evolution."
Filled with anticipation, Lin Mo reached his hand toward the magic scrolls in the warehouse...
