Chapter 23
The newly launched dungeon was called the Chaos of the Heavenly Palace.
It was mainly about the decline of the Heaven Palace Sect.
There was a very complicated background behind this.
However, in terms of a simple instance dungeon, it was actually not that complicated.
Twelve demons had joined forces to attack the Heavenly Palace. Among them was the Giant Ape King.
That’s right!
The Giant Ape King that had been killed by countless players in the previous dungeon had become the protagonist here.
The difference was that this time, the Giant Ape King was even more powerful.
Level 120.
Two million HP!
Its attack power could instantly kill Lin Chen.
It was very scary.
However, there were 11 other demon leaders beside it.
The two-headed monster, the flame demon, the one-eyed monster, the nine-headed snake, and other demonic creatures joined forces to attack the Heavenly Palace.
And the forces of the Heavenly Palace were not united.
Therefore, this dungeon was so that the players could help them fight the Twelve Devils.
Why else would Lin Chen say that this game was a combination of eastern and western fantasy? In the game, there was the Heavenly Palace and the Southern Heavenly Gate, but in reality, the Heavenly Palace was not the place where all living beings ruled.
It was more like the various Heavenly Gods sent out their representatives to form a divine authority system and then rule a continent. However, the Heavenly Gods also had their own ulterior motives.
Then, there were the Twelve Divine Halls in the Heavenly Palace.
They corresponded to the twelve Main Gods.
There were also signs of convergence to mythologies such as the Zodiac.
In short, it looked like a combination of various mythological elements.
“Should we try the Normal difficulty first?”
Snow Foam suggested, “No one has played this new dungeon before. It’s not a bad idea to experience it first.”
Lin Chen had no objections to this.
He couldn’t just go to find the bug and suggest the highest difficulty as soon as he arrived. That would only make Snow Foam suspicious. Besides, if the First Clear of an Normal difficulty dungeon could reach the top of the rankings, there would also be a reward for the Supreme Treasure Chest.
It was just that Normal level dungeons were a little boring.
Lin Chen looked at the introductions of the various difficulty levels for this dungeon and said, “The normal difficulty Heavenly Palace’s Chaos is actually easy to defeat. We’re competing in damage output. When we enter later, let’s go all out.”
The Normal difficulty Instance Dungeon reduced the attributes of the 12 Demons by 30%. Moreover, it also banned many powerful skills for the enemy. For the current configuration of Lin Chen’s team and their respective equipment, it was definitely not difficult.
The number one Wind Mage in the entire server, and the number one Priest.
Bai Shuyi, Delicate Little Bird, was currently the third ranked warrior in the server.
The two people ranked above her were said to be internet celebrities. It was just that after gathering equipment for two days and earning enough gimmicks and popularity, they sold their accounts. Moreover, their combat strength was not much higher than Bai Shuyi’s.
Bai Shuyi’s God of War set must have been fully enhanced already, and her crafted equipment was also at nine stars. The only difference was probably in terms of pets. She did not care much about pets.
Snow Foam was an Elementalist.
That’s right!
This was a hidden class.
It was also the only hidden class among the five of them.
Moreover, she was a player who had been in the top 30 of the overall rankings all year round before the game was about to announce the end of the server.
From this, it could be seen that she was a female player with very strong capital.
She was truly rich and beautiful.
In the end, Zhang Chunlin was the one who was a bit weak.
His equipment and pets were all made after the game announced the end of the server. They were not worth even a million in total, and he did not have a set. They were all nine-star crafted equipment, and his class was a Knight.
Basically, a tank.
He did not know if Zhang Chunlin could tank this dungeon.
But it didn’t matter. There was still Stegosaurus.
Normal Instance Dungeons were not difficult either.
The five of them used basic skills all the way. Lin Chen’s three pets also went out to fight. Under the state of letting the pets play freely, Vermillion Bird actually contributed 26% of the team’s damage output.
It was extremely terrifying!
This also made Bai Shuyi doubt her life. She said, “How is that possible? I only dealt 23% of the team’s damage with all my might. I’m the third-ranked Warrior in the entire server! Is Vermillion Bird so strong?”
Snow Foam smiled and said, “That’s right, we’ve taken first place in the Normal difficulty rankings for this dungeon, and we’re eight minutes ahead of second place. I don’t think anyone can catch up… The damage output of Vermillion Bird is indeed terrifying, but Lin Chen seems to have been using wind skills to help Vermillion Bird deal damage, right? Shuyi, don’t be discouraged. Warriors are inferior to mages when it comes to killing monsters. Moreover, Lin Chen’s Vermillion Bird is first on the pet rankings. It also has five damage skills, and most of them are large-scale AOE skills.”
“No, I’ll go and collect the dazzling eggs later. I must open a more powerful egg than the Vermillion Bird!”
Bai Shuyi was stunned by the terrifying damage output of the Vermillion Bird. She refused to admit defeat and said that she wanted to get a more powerful pet that could surpass Lin Chen’s Vermillion Bird.
In response, Liu Mengyao smiled and said, “You won’t be able to surpass it. The Vermillion Bird is a Mythical pet. Its growth has reached SS+. In the entire 20 years of New World, only three Mythical pets have appeared. The other two aren’t as powerful as the Vermillion Bird.”
“I don’t believe it… I’ll go and release the news now that I’m buying 10,000 dazzling eggs!”
Bai Shuyi said with a faint smile. It was unknown if she was serious.
Initially, Zhang Chunlin could not interrupt. After all, Bai Shuyi and Snow Foam were both rich and beautiful. They were goddesses in the game. Now that he finally found an opportunity, he immediately said, “I don’t think we can collect so many dazzling eggs now. Tomorrow, the market of this game will be completely silent… Didn’t you see the news? Someone counted the various live-stream platforms’ data. As of noon, those Internet celebrities had destroyed a total of 3.8 million pieces of equipment and released six million pets. The number of various items destroyed has exceeded a hundred million!”
At this point, Zhang Chunlin’s face was filled with helplessness and regret.
The game was about to stop.
Moreover, there was no compensation.
The players were naturally in an uproar.
Coupled with the help of various internet celebrities who were trying to ride on the popularity, New World, which had once been popular on the entire Blue Planet, would probably fall into complete silence in a few days.
In fact, every New World player would feel indignant and regretful.
However, no one could change anything.
“Then I have to hurry up and place an order!”
Bai Shuyi’s thoughts were pure. It seemed that other people’s emotions could not affect her at all. Money did not matter. She just wanted to have fun.
Liu Mengyao had the same mentality.
“Let’s continue. We’ll challenge the Hard mode next.”
Lin Chen smiled and said, “Challenge each level and take all the Supreme Treasure Boxes. Then, open more pet equipment.”
The pet equipment in New World was not tradable and would not be damaged. This meant that once the pet’s lifespan reached zero and it died completely, the pet equipment would disappear.
Therefore, pet equipment could not be bought on the market at all.
If you wanted good pet equipment, you had to get it himself.
The Hard Dungeon also only required basic skills.
Lin Chen and the others were very fast. When Bai Shuyi saw that her DPS could not catch up, she also started to slack off. Hence, Lin Chen exerted more strength and maintained his speed.
In the end, Bai Shuyi pushed her luck and stopped moving at all.
“What are you doing?”
Liu Mengyao questioned.
Bai Shuyi smiled and said, “Hehe, I’m opening an egg!”
This girl actually went to collect the dazzling eggs, and she even opened them in the Instance Dungeon…
It could only be said that she was really something!
Half an hour later, everyone arrived before the Level 120 Giant Ape King.
At this moment, Bai Shuyi exclaimed, “Haha, Myth… Why is it a dog!”
Bai Shuyi, who was screaming, soon looked depressed.
“What dog?”
Everyone looked over curiously as they fought the monsters.
“Tengu… Wow, it’s really a type of dog!”
Bai Shuyi was on the verge of tears. “I don’t like dogs. I would much prefer a cat!”
Hearing her words, everyone was speechless.
“You… show us the attributes.” Snow Foam’s voice was trembling as she spoke. She was also very envious.
Bai Shuyi’s luck was too good!
Did she really get a Mythical pet just because she said so?
In the team channel.
[Delicate Little Bird: (Heavenly Dog)]
She sent out the attributes.
[Tengu]
[Owner: Delicate Little Bird]
[Quality: Mythical]
[Overall Growth Rating: SS+]
[Level: 1]
[Constitution: 120]
Strength: 190
[Spirit: 80]
[Agility: 120]
[Free Attribute Points: 10]
[HP: 2,160]
[Physical Attack: 3,800]
[Magic Attack: 800]
[SPD: 1.44 yards per second]
[Talent Skills: Unyielding Fighting Spirit, Ancient Bloodline, Mad Devour]
[Unyielding Fighting Spirit: After Tengu is injured in battle, it will trigger Unyielding Fighting Spirit. For every 1% HP reduction, attack speed and both defense stats will increase by 0.8%.]
[Ancient Bloodline: Tengu’s maximum HP will permanently increase by 50% and it will be immune to confusion.]
[Mad Devour: Within 10 seconds of active usage, Tengu will be in a bloodthirsty state. Tengu will have 30% lifesteal against its target. Cooldown time: 5 minutes!]
‘Good God!’
Tengu’s attributes and innate skills were simply invincible as a warrior pet!
Bai Shuyi wasn’t happy with this?
“I’m so angry. I suspect that Shuyi is doing this on purpose!” Snow Foam was speechless.
Even she wanted such a pet.
“That’s right, I don’t even have a Mythical pet!” Zhang Chunlin also looked envious.
However, Liu Mengyao said, “She was bitten by a dog when she was young. Since then, she has been afraid of dogs.”
She explained for Bai Shuyi.
“This is a game, not reality. What’s there to be afraid of!”
Lin Chen said angrily, “Why don’t you give me the Tengu and I’ll give you the Flying Rat?”
“No!”
Bai Shuyi was about to cry. “I’m more afraid of rats!”
“Haha…”
Everyone laughed.
Lin Chen also smiled.
Of course he wanted the Tengu.
However, Lin Chen knew that Tengu was more suitable to follow Bai Shuyi, the Valkyrie.
After all, their classes were very compatible.
If it followed Lin Chen, it would not be able to play its greatest role.
Moreover, a gentleman would not take what others liked.
“Another Supreme Treasure Box…”
Lin Chen was elated. Then, he smiled and said, “Let’s continue!”
Today, he had a chance to obtain eight supreme treasure boxes.
He could gather two sets of pet equipment.
At this moment, Snow Foam said, “I’ll also slack off a bit to open some dazzling eggs, but I’ll also deal damage… I just thought about it. Aren’t there many internet celebrities ruining eggs now? I think the chances of getting a good pet are very high now!”
That was probably the case!
