Chapter 24
It was a good dungeon, but it had become a place for team members to open pet eggs.
Fortunately, with the current equipment and strength of Lin Chen and the others, they were able to easily clear the Hard difficulty dungeon.
Moreover, he was always first in terms of time.
It was the same for Nightmare Instance Dungeons.
There were three more Supreme Treasure Boxes.
At the Nightmare level, he was rewarded with two Supreme Treasure Boxes.
There were four as a reward in the Hell level.
Zhang Chunlin also joined the team to open the pet eggs.
However, luck was not something that everyone could have.
Indeed, there were many people who opened pet eggs nowadays…
New World was 20 years old, but because the prices in the game were too expensive, almost every player had been frugal for the past 20 years. Even if a tycoon played this game, he would save as many items and resources as possible.
After all, the items in the game were too valuable.
Therefore, in the past 20 years, the game had accumulated a lot of resources.
It was almost time to shut down the server. There was no point in hoarding resources now.
Whether it was because of the players’ feelings or those streamers who were trying to gain popularity…
In short, in the few days that New World announced that it was closing down, the consumption of various supplies and items in the game was almost comparable to the previous ten years!
At this time, there were indeed many people who opened pet eggs. Everyone had indeed piled up the probability together.
However, Snow Foam had opened 150 dazzling eggs, but only one extraordinary pet had appeared, and it was only at the epic level.
On the other hand, Zhang Chunlin had only opened 50 of them. After a Legendary pet appeared, he expressed his heartache.
“Damn, I’m not opening it anymore. It’s enough to have a Legendary. This was something I didn’t dare to think about in the past! Forget it, forget it. The game is about to close. Why should I spend this money?” Zhang Chunlin quit while he was ahead.
Snow Foam and Bai Shuyi were still unconvinced, so they got someone to send another batch of colorful eggs over.
In instance dungeons, mail could be accepted.
Then, the two of them continued to open eggs.
In any case, they were not short of money.
Now, even dazzling eggs were also very cheap.
The latest price on the market was a mere 80 a pop.
Lin Chen asked Zhang Chunlin’s studio to help him stock up another thousand eggs.
In addition, Lin Chen had asked Zhang Chunlin to stock up on 10,000 Equipment Identification Talismans.
Only New World would be like this.
It was too big.
If it was any other game, if the game announced that service was stopping, how could the items in the game still be sold for money?
Next was the Hell-difficulty Chaos of the Heavenly Palace dungeon.
Lin Chen said, “Alright, if you want to open the egg, wait for a while. It’s Hell difficulty now. Let alone trying to speed run it, we might not even be able to clear it. Everyone, buck up.”
With the experience from the previous dungeons, although the difficulty was different, everyone was familiar with the strategy of this dungeon. Lin Chen chose the difficulty and led everyone into the dungeon again.
Then, there were the various plots of the twelve demons. The five of them worked together to eliminate the small monsters and push them to the Boss. When they finished fighting the first Boss, a different situation happened.
After the two-headed demon guarding the first level was killed, it actually revived and even shouted, “How dare you defeat my physical body? I won’t let you off!”
Then, the two-headed demon escaped.
He headed towards the final map.
“What’s going on?”
Zhang Chunlin said in shock, “Could it be that we made a mistake in one of the segments, so we can’t kill the monster?”
“It’s not that.”
Lin Chen said in a deep voice, “That was just a soul form just now… Looks like there’s a secret in this updated expansion pack. Will there be a new way to play after level 120?”
“After this dungeon, you and Yaoyao will be level 120, right? Won’t you know then?” Bai Shuyi was still very interested in the new gameplay. She immediately said, “If you find anything new, let me know immediately!”
“I won’t tell you!” Liu Mengyao joked.
As expected, the next Bosses were all the same. After being defeated, they all fled in their soul forms. Moreover, everyone could feel that these Level 120 Bosses were not as powerful as the Giant Ape King in the Level 100 Instance Dungeon.
“Is this really Nightmare Level? It feels… a little relaxed!”
Snow Foam couldn’t help but be suspicious.
The five of them had been in the Instance Dungeon for about an hour.
However, on average, they defeated a Boss in about five minutes. Soon, it would be the last boss, the Giant Ape King.
“Forget it, let’s call him first!”
Lin Chen was the first to step into the map where the Giant Ape King was.
The team was also in place.
At this moment, the plot appeared.
On the huge central throne, the Giant Ape King was high and mighty. In front of it were the souls of eleven bosses. They were complaining to the Giant Ape King.
“Giant Ape King, you must avenge us!”
“We were all beaten up for you, and our physical bodies were destroyed!”
“Fortunately, we’ve all cultivated our soul forms. Otherwise, we’d be finished!”
“We’re very weak now…”
“It will take at least a month to recover!”
“Now that the Heavenly Palace has been conquered and you’ve sat on the Divine Throne, shouldn’t you avenge us?”
“Avenge?”
The Giant Ape King seemed to be a little deaf. It had forcibly taken avenge to mean a reward…
Then, the Giant Ape King went berserk!
It roared, its eyes bigger than lanterns glowing green. Then it opened its mouth and sucked hard.
“Giant Ape King, you!”
“No!”
“You… Are you going to devour our souls?”
“No!”
“…”
In the plot, wails sounded everywhere.
Very quickly, the Giant Ape King cruelly devoured one soul after another. Moreover, with every devour, one could see that its HP had increased quite a bit. In the end, the Giant Ape King’s HP reached a total of three million!
“Haha, soul… This is a great supplement!”
The Giant Ape King roared complacently, “I feel like my entire body is filled with power now!”
…
The plot was about to end.
However, at this moment, Zhang Chunlin swallowed his saliva and could not help but say, “So… so strong. I feel that it can kill me with one punch… Are we really going to fight this big guy?”
At this moment, the Giant Ape King was nearly a hundred meters tall.
He was like King Kong in a movie!
“We’re already here. How can we not fight?”
Without another word, Bai Shuyi picked up the spear in her hand and said, “I’ll go first and give it an Enhanced Charge. Knight, remember to follow and attract aggro!”
“Let’s go!”
Lin Chen also smiled.
However, at this moment, Lin Chen looked at the five huge thrones around the map.
He quickly found one and rushed over.
Roar!
Over there, the battle had already begun.
Everyone was releasing their skills.
However, in just a few seconds, everyone saw Zhang Chunlin’s 100,000 HP suddenly decrease by half. Zhang Chunlin’s voice sounded, “Oh my god, it took away 50,000 HP. Who can withstand that!”
It was too terrifying!
With Zhang Chunlin’s defense and his equipment’s damage reduction, the Giant Ape King’s damage was actually so terrifying. There was indeed no way to withstand it.
This was no longer a problem with Zhang Chunlin’s equipment.
“It seems that its damage ignores defense, and only damage reduction is useful.”
Lin Chen immediately began to command, “Yaoyao, cast Divine Light Protection on Zhang Chunlin and carefully manage your cooldowns. Then, cast Sacred Shield on him. Try your best to take turns casting these skills on him. After that, you guys fight and retreat. Each of you find a Throne to stand on.”
“What, are you addicted to pretending to be a God?”
Bai Shuyi still did not know about the bug in this dungeon. She thought that Lin Chen was fooling around!
This was normal.
After all, there had never been such fancy things in the dungeon in New World before. It was all based on strength if you could conquer it. However, Bai Shuyi was still obedient and found a throne.
Zhang Chunlin gritted his teeth and also found a throne to stand on.
The five of them were already in position.
At this moment, Lin Chen continued to command, “Chunlin, don’t attract aggro. From now on, don’t use Taunt, and don’t use your pets! Then, we’ll stand at the highest point of the Throne and use our skills on the boss. Remember, only use our damage output skills! Yaoyao, don’t use any healing or shield skills. Just use Holy Light Baptism to hit it. Melee pets, stand by. Don’t leave the top of the Throne!”
Although they did not understand what Lin Chen meant, everyone did as they were told.
Then, everyone discovered that the originally insufferably arrogant Giant Ape King seemed to have suddenly lost its target. It didn’t know who to attack, and it kept running between the five huge thrones…
Its huge body had also become a huge target.
Facing such a huge target, even an idiot could hit it with his skills.
“Damn, what’s going on?” Zhang Chunlin was stunned.
“It looks like a bug?”
“Lin Chen, how did you know about this bug!”
Snow Foam and Bai Shuyi looked at Lin Chen curiously.
“You guys only know how to open pet eggs. In fact, I tried it the last time in the dungeon. The Boss of the new dungeon, the Giant Ape King, doesn’t seem to be able to see the target on the throne.”
Lin Chen casually found an excuse to explain.
With the help of the bug, the Giant Ape King with three million HP was also killed by Lin Chen and the others.
Then, an announcement sounded in the game.
[Congratulations to Forest Dawn’s team for successfully defeating the Giant Ape King (Hell-level) and protecting the Heavenly Palace. In order to commend their achievements, the Heavenly Gods specially gave each of them two Supreme Gift Boxes. In addition, the team will be rewarded with two rare class treasure boxes!]
[Announcement, as the Giant Ape King (Hell-level) has been defeated, the reputation system has been activated!]
[Announcement: The chaos in the Heavenly Palace has ended. In order to thank the brave adventurers, the Heavenly Gods have bestowed everyone with a soul cultivation method. Please reach Level 120 to check the details!]
[…]
The consecutive announcements caused the world channel, which had now become a trading market, to explode.
“F*ck, New World is about to be shut down. You’re talking about opening a reputation system and a new gameplay now?”
“Save it for your mother, you lousy developer!”
“F*ck, there are still people playing Instance Dungeons?”
“Forest Dawn, it’s him again? It’s a Level 120 Hell Dungeon. You have to have really good equipment to clear it, right? Moreover, it seems that he even got two Epic pets?”
“Hehe, Forest Dawn is from our school. I heard that he mortgaged his house to play this game and borrowed a few million…”
“He must have cerebral palsy. The game is about to shut down, but he still spent so much money?”
“…”
Lin Chen did not expect that he would become famous after all.
