Chapter 58: New Dungeon [Under the Dragon Burial City]

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: New Dungeon [Under the Dragon Burial City]

Divine Revelation Hall, Guild Management Hall.

The person on duty today wasn’t Rolle. After confirming Yu Zhun’s identity, the female staff member’s eyes instantly lit up.

She wondered, "Is this the player who perfectly cleared the Bloody City dungeon that everyone has been talking about these past two days? He’s so young! And handsome too!"

"Hello?" Yu Zhun raised an eyebrow.

The staff member finally snapped back to reality. "You’re applying for the 3A-difficulty Bloody City dungeon for tomorrow, right? Please wait a moment!"

After clicking through the system for a moment, her movements suddenly paused.

"I see that your guild has an extra dungeon application attempt, so you can apply for one more dungeon."

"An extra attempt?" Yu Zhun looked confused.

He wondered why Rolle hadn’t mentioned this yesterday.

Seeing his confusion, the staff member smiled. "It’s like this: last night, the Divine Revelation Hall adjusted the dungeon applications. Every time a guild achieves a perfect first clear of a dungeon, they gain an additional application attempt.

"The Godslayer Guild achieved the perfect first clear of the Bloody City, so you are rewarded with one extra attempt."

Yu Zhun’s mouth twitched. He thought, "Alright, so that’s how it’s going to be, huh?"

"Guild Master, should we apply for the Bloody City again then?" Ji Xiaoyu asked excitedly.

If they could enter the Bloody City twice, she felt she could quickly reach Lv15. Once she equipped her Red Equipment, her power would skyrocket! Right now, she could only rely on Yu Zhun to carry her, but she believed that it wouldn’t be long before she became the one carrying him!

Yu Zhun nodded, feeling somewhat tempted. Today’s run of the Bloody City had directly boosted his level to Lv19. If they could run it twice tomorrow... wouldn’t he shoot straight up to Lv20?

"Um, according to the rules, a player cannot enter the same dungeon multiple times in one day," the staff member said apologetically.

"In that case..." Yu Zhun pondered for a moment before saying, "Apply for Under the Dragon Burial City."

The notebook Su Hong had given him recorded information on three Lv20 dungeons: Under the Dragon Burial City, Cold Ice Silence Realm, and Bloody City. Among them, the guide for Bloody City was the most complete, while the one for Under the Dragon Burial City was the most lacking. The Hanlong Guild’s exploration of this dungeon was limited, but Yu Zhun still chose it over the Cold Ice Silence Realm.

The reason was simple. The Cold Ice Silence Realm was quite unique and heavily countered his talent. For now, he wasn’t confident he could clear it. He could try it once he grew stronger. In contrast, although the guide for Under the Dragon Burial City was the most incomplete, the dungeon itself was relatively friendly to Yu Zhun.

"Under the Dragon Burial City, huh..." Ji Xiaoyu muttered from the side, silently making a mental note of the dungeon so she could ask her grandfather about it later.

"Understood. What difficulty would you like to select?" the staff member asked with a smile.

"3A difficulty," Yu Zhun answered without hesitation. Not choosing the 3A difficulty would just be a waste of time.

"Oh, right." Suddenly remembering something, Yu Zhun looked at the staff member. "If the applications are approved, could you schedule both of these dungeons for the afternoon?"

"I can make a note of it here, but I can’t guarantee they will be scheduled that way," she replied earnestly.

"Just a note is enough," Yu Zhun smiled. "Thank you."

After watching the staff member finalize the applications, Yu Zhun and Ji Xiaoyu left the Divine Revelation Hall and returned to the guild.

CLATTER!

With a wave of Yu Zhun’s hand, a pile of materials and equipment appeared on the ground. These were all the spoils from their run of the Bloody City. Although they didn’t get any Red Equipment drops like yesterday, the regular loot for perfectly clearing the 3A-difficulty Bloody City was still incredibly lucrative. A full three pieces of Lv20 Purple Equipment and a set of Three Divine Talismans were already worth a fortune, not to mention the jumbled pile of miscellaneous materials and Skill Books.

"Take a look and see if there’s anything you want," he said.

"Hmm..." Ji Xiaoyu inspected the Purple Equipment piece by piece, glanced at the Skill Books, and finally set her sights on the materials. "I’ll take the materials. I don’t want the rest."

She went on to explain, "When my Life Profession unlocks at Lv15, I plan to become an Alchemist. For all future dungeon runs, I’ll take any leftover materials. I’ll take anything else if it suits me, but if not, I’ll pass."

Hearing this, Yu Zhun was practically moved to tears. He thought, "This rich girl is such a good person!"

"Oh, by the way!" Ji Xiaoyu suddenly said as a thought struck her. "Are you free this afternoon? Want to team up and grind some field monsters?"

Grinding field monsters meant hunting creatures out in the wild. Just as there were monsters outside the Newbie City, the Main City was no exception, and the monsters around the Main City were far stronger. Even with dungeons available, many players in the Main City still chose to farm experience out in the wild, as the experience gained was nothing to scoff at. Right now, Ji Xiaoyu was itching to hit Lv15 immediately and refused to let any leveling opportunity slip by.

"One hundred thousand!" Before Yu Zhun could even reply, the rich girl started throwing money around. "Team up with me, and the cash is yours!"

Yu Zhun, who just so happened to be completely free this afternoon, was left speechless. He thought, "Crap, I’m more than a little tempted."

"I get all the experience, and you get all the loot drops," the rich girl added. "You don’t have to do a single thing."

Yu Zhun was slightly bewildered. "I don’t have to do anything?"

"Exactly!" Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled as if she could already picture the scene in her head. "Just stand in the middle of the monster mob. I’ll handle the damage output."

Yu Zhun stared at her. He finally understood what the rich girl was trying to pull. It seemed that after a single run through the Bloody City dungeon, the rich girl had formed an entirely new understanding of the Assassin Profession. She actually dared to use an Assassin as a tank! However, when facing weaker monsters with Physical Attack and Magic Attack stats under 3,000, pulling off such a maneuver wouldn’t actually be an issue.

"So what monsters are we hunting?"

"Wind-Split Wolves. Their levels range from Lv15 to Lv20, their Magic Resistance is low, and they move in packs. Once they are aggroed, they won’t easily switch targets." Ji Xiaoyu had clearly done her homework on the Divine Strategy City, instantly coming up with the most suitable target for their team-up.

Wind-Split Wolves... If he remembered correctly...

Yu Zhun raised an eyebrow. He casually opened his Life Profession skill [Upgrade] and selected his weapon, [Nether’s Sigh].

[Nether’s Sigh]

[Equipment Level: Lv15 → Lv20]

[Equipment Basic Attributes:

Physical Attack +1260 → Physical Attack +1760]

[Upgrade Cost:

Equipment Upgrade Stone x4

Wind-Split Wolf Fangs x8

Epic Essence x2]

[Upgrade Success Rate: 28.4%] [Luck +42%]

[Support Item: None]

[Start Upgrade]

The weapon upgrade material, [Wind-Split Wolf Fangs], was exactly what dropped from killing Wind-Split Wolves. As for the [Epic Essence], it was obtained by dismantling epic-grade equipment, though it could also be bought directly.

This trip would earn him money and save him the expense of buying some materials. Plus, he didn’t have to do a thing—all he had to do was lie down in the middle of a wolf pack.

"When do we leave?" he asked.
