Chapter 7

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

‘Attack speed x2’ was a heaven-defying skill for anyone.

For example, warriors.

A warrior’s attack might not be the highest, but the aggro they could pull was the highest.

But the problem was that there were always some, uh, people who were called b*stards.

They did not care if they were archers, mages, or beastmasters. As long as they had enough talent and good equipment, the damage caused by their attacks was far higher than the aggro created by the warriors. After a few times, the warriors would not be able to stop the monsters.

What if the warrior’s attack speed was doubled?

Lin Bai was confident that even if he went into dungeons with others in the future, no one would be able to tell that he was a divine-tier beastmaster… He was a warrior with a high-tier talent. Who could take the aggro from him?

Of course, if this speed was given to a beastmaster, then Lin Bai could clear the dungeon with one-third of his previous speed!

The excitement in his heart gradually subsided, and Lin Bai also realized how popular this thing would be if it was released.

He thought for a moment and decided that even if there was a better replacement for the bracelet, he could not sell it.

“If Su Ling’er’s speed of concocting medicine could be doubled, what would that mean?” Lin Bai’s smile was sinister. He was willing to bet that with the bracelet, Su Ling’er would be able to quickly become a top-tier alchemist.

He looked at the other rewards. Su Bai hesitated for a while and opened the reward for breaking the S-rank record. Although it was only a box, it was still a purple-tier reward.

In the next second, Lin Bai’s lips pursed tightly again.

[Berserker’s Gift: Purple-tier, one-time-use item, can attract monsters to attack for 30 minutes!]

What was this? This was a god-tier item that could quickly clear dungeons!

If this thing were to be sold in the market today, there would be many groups of nouveau riches willing to buy it at a high price!

“Alright, we’ll just sell it after we’re done with the other dungeons.” Lin Bai didn’t think of increasing the speed of the game – there was no need.

Lin Bai slapped his forehead as he opened the SS-rank record reward.

[Beast Taming Pill: Purple-tier, can permanently increase the intimacy between the beastmaster and the familiar by 100 points in one go]

This wasn’t of much use. It could only turn a subdued beast that wasn’t willing to sign an agreement with a beastmaster into an obedient treasure in an instant.

It really wasn’t of much use!

Lin Bai got angry and opened the fourth box.

He didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to get something disappointing today.

Lin Bai didn’t believe it. He opened the dungeon SSS-rank record reward again, and it was still a purple treasure chest.

[Alchemist’s Golden Core Furnace: Purple-tier, no normal attribute, special attribute ‘guaranteed success rate increased by 3%’]

..

This thing, put it this way, when an alchemist grows up and becomes the world’s most famous alchemist, the maximum effect of this golden core furnace will be reduced. But before growing to a top alchemist, this thing was a good thing that any large guild was willing to buy at all costs.

“I have a gift for Su Ling’er, but how do I give it out?” Lin Bai sighed.

Without any hope, he opened the fifth purple treasure chest.

As expected!

[Mage Headband Filled With Blessings: Purple-tier,+8% maximum mana, increased mana regeneration speed by 8%, special attribute ‘has a 3% chance to trigger any negative buff’!]

Mages had high attack and attracted the most aggro. If they had to use mages to clear small monsters, priests would find it the most troublesome. Moreover, most of the small monsters and elite monsters in the dungeon had the ability to give mages negative buffs.

What would the effect be if they used this headband?

“But it’s not easy to find a mage that you can trust.” Lin Bai casually replied, “I don’t even know who to give such a small gift to.”

Lin Bai put away the rewards and the experience points from clearing the level, instantly leveling up.

Lin Bai’s current stats were as follows:

[Class: Warrior]

[Character level: 1 (400/500)

[Talent level: A]

[Talent skill: Swordsmanship Telepathy]

[Current three-dimensional attributes: Strength 38 (+), Intelligence 25 (+), Spirit 88 (+)]

[Free attribute (level up): 5]

Compared to the additional character level and the 5 free attribute points that were generated along with the level, character level was an important condition to determine whether one could enter the dungeon of the corresponding level, and free attribute points were even more precious.

“Add all my points to spiritual power.” Lin Bai didn’t need to add too many points to strength and intelligence at the moment. He first needed to gather enough mental power to unlock the SSS-rank talent.

In an instant, his spiritual power reached 113, and one free attribute point could be added to 5 points.

Then, Lin Bai saw that no one was paying attention to him. Most people were paying attention to the people who left the dungeon, and some had already started running dungeons, so he also quietly walked toward the Level 1 dungeon.

After the blinding white light passed, Lin Bai entered the Level 1 single-player dungeon.

[Please select the dungeon mode.]

[Easy Mode, maximum rating: B]

[Normal Mode, maximum rating: A]

[Hard Mode, maximum rating: S]

[Hell Mode, maximum rating: SS]

[Epic Mode, maximum rating: SSS]

With Lin Bai’s SSS rating, all the dungeons had an additional ‘epic’ mode.

Lin Bai decisively chose the epic level, and after unleashing the Frost Dragon, he only glanced at the small monsters blocking his way.

[Flying Giant Mosquito: Level 2, health points 100]

[Swamp Mosquito (elite): Level 3, health points 200]

“How is it?” Lin Bai patted the Frost Dragon.

“Don’t worry, Master!” The Frost Dragon shook its head and wagged its tail.

Boom!

After the giant dragon flying at a low altitude collided with the giant mosquito army, [Frost Breath]’s 300 points of damage directly crushed the giant mosquito army.

In less than ten seconds, the boss of the Level 1 dungeon was in sight.

[Race: Night Blood Mosquito]

[Level: 10]

[Familiar talent: B]

[Familiar skills: 1. Single target attack; 2. Tarsus, deals 500 damage over 10 seconds.]

[Current familiar’s 3d attributes: Strength 300, Intelligence 60, Spirit 75]

[Health points: 1500]

“Oh, this one’s a little hard to deal with,” Lin Bai teased.

The Frost Dragon shook its head unhappily. Wasn’t it settled with the use of one [Frost Slash]?

The poor Night Blood Mosquito that had killed countless warriors did not even have time to react. No, it did not even have time to sense its aggro range. With a ‘kacha’, a Frost Slash came down on it and it was killed on the spot.

[Killed Level 10 Night Blood Mosquito. Obtained 450 experience points.]

[Congratulations, you’ve cleared the level. System settlement in progress.]

[Your dungeon rating: SSS]

[Clearance reward: Purple-tier epic treasure chest x1]

[Gold coin reward: 10,000 gold coins]

[Your clearance rating is SSS. You are the first Level 1 player to clear the dungeon (newbie) with an SSS rating. An announcement will be made in the world channel. Do you wish to remain anonymous?]

Lin Bai: “Anonymous!”

Hence!

Three seconds later, the world went crazy again.

[Global announcement: Azure City’s beastmaster ** has passed the ‘Level 1 Single-Player Dungeon (Novice)’ and has reached the SSS-rank clearance standard. This is a global announcement and an SSS-rank clearance reward.]
