Chapter 38: Chapter 38: The Werewolf Heart Without Rank Limit!
Translator: 549690339
A thought struck Zheng Cheng’s mind.
It seemed that this werewolf heart artifact held secrets unknown to him.
Rank restriction… What is it?
The artifact in his hand was the special ingredient extracted during the dissection of a Fallen One, a member of the Dawn organization, when they had dissected the Black Wolf.
Werewolf Heart!
[Item: Werewolf Heart]
[Quality: Five-star]
[Effect: Consuming this can permanently increase 5 points of strength and 5 points of agility, limited to a maximum of ten hearts. There’s a minuscule chance of transforming one’s bloodline into a werewolf bloodline after consumption.]
[Description: An ordinary werewolf heart, containing the secret power of a werewolf.]
(Some readers pointed out the issue with the werewolf heart, so I made some adjustments here. I’ve also made changes previously, which won’t affect the reading.)
As the goblin merchant lunged at him, he quickly tucked away the heart.
“A human professionist! I want that heart!”
“I’ll exchange it with the Taunt skill book, it’s just an ordinary werewolf heart, consider it as a show of my magnanimity…”
Zheng Cheng dismissed nonchalantly, ” Not enough.”
“Not enough, how?”
“Just a single skill book, it’s not enough.’
“I’ll add this fire snake lizard egg!” Doug gritted his teeth, “This is already my maximum offer, it’s just an ordinary werewolf heart. I can buy them in bulk easily! ”
“Not enough!”
Zheng Cheng said with ease. With half a minute left, he was getting a bit anxious.
But right now, the one panicking was Doug!
Doug’s eyeballs rolled, and he gritted his teeth, ” I’ll add… the assassin rank transfer voucher! ”
“We don’t have any assassins. A voucher is useless. No deal!”
Zheng Cheng continued: “We only have twenty seconds left before exiting this sub-dungeon. If you can’t bring it out…”
“I have it!”
Doug gritted his teeth: “I’ll add one more thing, absolutely suitable for the female professionist!”
“Female professionist?”
Everyone wore strange expressions as they finally understood what the goblin meant.
Female professionist… Yao Zhixue!
Yao Zhixue, boiled with anger instantly, and a freezing snowstorm took form in front of her!
However, Doug didn’t notice Yao Zhixue’s reaction, and with a touch on his space ring, another item materialized in front of the group.
“Giant Ice Fruit!”
“Damn it!”
Everyone involuntarily cursed under their breath.
Before their eyes was a fruit as tall as a person!
This fruit looked like a pear, but as a whole, it resembled a transparent giant block of ice.
Exuding a faint mist, intricate patterns adorned the surface of the fruit.
Doug said quickly: “This is the Giant Ice Fruit that only grows on the land of the Ice Giants. It’s greatly beneficial for professionists who specialize in ice and snow elements!”
“Trading it for your werewolf heart is more than enough!”
Yao Zhixue’s eyes flickered, her killing intent disappeared, and she examined the Giant Ice Fruit carefully. [Name: Giant Ice Fruit]
[Property: Special ingredient]
[Effect: After consuming the entire fruit, one’s power of ice and snow elements can be permanently enhanced, the degree of enhancement will depend on the professionist’s star level.]
[Description: A rare fruit found in Ice Giant territory, for other races, it’s also a rare treasure.]
After reading through, Yao Zhixue kept her eyes firmly on Zheng Cheng.
The implication in her gaze was clear to everyone.
Though the Giant Ice Fruit was indeed large, she was confident she could finish it.
Even if it took her a week!
Zheng Cheng’s lips twitched. In this hell mode sub-dungeon, they owed their success to Yao Zhixue’s extensive range AOE ice and snow damage control.
If not for her, defeating it would require more effort on his part.
And Chen Xiao, Cai Shen, and Zhang Ping’an would not have made it through safely.
“Ok, I’ll trade… but I have conditions!”
As soon as Zheng Cheng finished his sentence, Doug hurriedly asked, “What conditions? We’re running out of time.”
“What is a rank restriction?”
“Rank restriction?” Doug quickly explained, “Some low-rank ingredients and items have no effect when consumed by high-rank professionists!”
“Your wolf heart item, which increases a total of 10 points in attributes, surprisingly has no rank restriction, even high-rank professionists can use it…”
“Trade!”
Zheng Cheng interrupted Doug’s words, and the two completed the trade immediately.
Doug, being a special professionist merchant, has the goods he trades protected by the power of the rules.
If other professionists want to snatch it, they would have to kill him completely.
Otherwise, even if they grab it, they would not be able to use it due to the protection of the rules.
The two quickly completed the trade.
In Zheng Cheng’s item column, a taunt skill book, fire serpent beast egg, and a huge iceberg fruit appeared.
After the trade was completed, the figures of Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, Chen Xiao, Cai Shen, Zhang Ping’an disappeared gradually.
On the other hand, Doug was holding the wolf heart, his eyes full of heartache and excitement.
“My iceberg fruit… Damn it, that was originally meant to be sold to the Snow Demon Tribe.”
“But it’s alright, this wolf heart can not only permanently increase 5 points in strength and agility attributes, but also has the bloodline of the Wolf Tribe…’
“Should I go to the domain of the Moonlit Wolves? Or visit the Wolfewolf Tribe in the Beastman Empire?”
“Ah, I suffered a huge loss this time. Should I visit a few more places…”
A flash of light appeared before him, and Zheng Cheng was placed into darkness.
A mechanical voice sounded by his ear.
[Professionist Zheng Cheng, you have completed the Hell-level difficulty challenge of the Fire Rat Nest dungeon. Instance evaluation: SSS rank.]
[Your individual challenge evaluation: SSS rank.]
[Please choose one of the following three treasure chests as the reward for this
Hell-level difficulty challenge.]
Before him, three virtually identical treasure chests appeared.
Every professionist will undergo evaluation based on their output, healing, and other factors after completing a dungeon challenge.
The higher the evaluation, the higher the tier of the reward received.
Zheng Cheng casually pointed at the first treasure chest; “This one.”
A flash of golden light, and a parchment scroll similar to the taunt skill book, appeared before his eyes.
“Huh? A skill book!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up slightly: “I wonder if the learned skill will mutate?”
At the entrance of the dungeon.
A military priest and two doctors were treating several newcomers.
Every year, there are always some ignorant professionists who choose to challenge a dungeon above their ability during the trail for newcomers.
Missing an arm or a leg would be considered good fortune.
If they fail to exit in time, they could even lose their lives inside the dungeon. At this moment, the light of the dungeon flashed, and four disheveled figures crawled out.
“Look! It’s Liang Feifan and his team!”
“They challenged the nightmare dungeon, I wonder if they were successful?” “They must have succeeded, right? Counting Lin Jianyue who already came out earlier, all five of them have emerged safely…”
Hearing the discussions around him, Liang Feifan’s eyes flashed with resentment.
“Dammit! We couldn’t conquer the nightmare dungeon this time because we lacked an MT, otherwise we would have already passed!”
Yang Lie also chimed in, “Yeah, we were so close. If it wasn’t for the BOSS going berserk at the end…”
“But compared to other students, we did pretty well!”
At this time, teachers like Gao Yang also noticed them.
“Liang Feifan, are you all alright?”
“Liang Feifan, did you clear the dungeon?”
Liang Feifan composed himself and calmly responded, “Mission accomplished! ”
“Although we didn’t manage to kill the final BOSS—the Fire Rat Warrior—in the nightmare-level Fire Rat Nest dungeon, we did kill two Fire Rat Guardians!” “The completion rate of the nightmare-level Fire Rat Nest dungeon reached
“Tomorrow! We will prepare again and definitely conquer this nightmare-level dungeon tomorrow!”
“Our levels have also all increased to LV3!”
“By the way…”
Liang Feifan glanced around: “Where are Zheng Cheng and his team who bet with us?”
“None of them have come out, they couldn’t all have died inside, could they….”
