BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15
They were numb.
“I’m done!” Almost everyone in Shangguan Mengchen’s team had lost all will to fight. They had already lowered their hopes of clearing the instance dungeon. Now that they were struggling in the A-rank instance dungeon, they could not clear the Level 2 dungeon (multiple players).
For this reason, Shangguan Mengchen was even considering waiting for a few days to test it out when they had replaced most of their equipment and obtained the manual.
“What do you guys think?” Jin Meng suddenly had an idea. “Do you guys think Lin Bai collected so much trash equipment to help an alchemist?”
“Don’t spout nonsense,” Zhang Yunqian quickly said. “If others think that the warrior is Lin Bai, we’re not loyal to our cause!”
“I really suspect it’s him,” Hu Bingbing said in a deep voice, “Look, the global announcement didn’t say what talent this warrior has. Then why must he be an S or even SS-rank warrior? It doesn’t mean that an A-rank warrior can’t.”
“What do you mean by this?”
“I have a feeling that Lin Bai is hiding his strength,” Hu Bingbing said after a moment of silence. “Didn’t you see? He has an equipment set that he hasn’t taken off. If I’m not wrong, it should be one of the pieces of the [Wind Rider] set.”
She had seen the Wind Rider equipment set before. That was a Level 50 assassin with three pieces of the [Wind Rider] equipment set. He was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with among those of the same level.
The other people in the team were shocked.
Even the girl with the worst family background had a certain social status.
They all knew how hard it was to find the [Wind Rider] set, and how rare it was for people to equip it.
Shangguan Mengchen opened her friend list and saw that Lin Bai was in the newbie dungeon (Level 2).
She hesitated for a moment and sent a private message: [Lin Bai, your [Wind Rider] set might cause you trouble.]
As soon as she finished speaking, the global announcement sounded again.
[Global announcement: Azure City’s warrior ** (captain) and alchemist *** (team member) have passed the ‘Level 2 Newbie Dungeon (two-player)’ and have reached the SSS-rank clearance standard. This is a global announcement and an SSS-rank clearance reward.]
Shangguan Mengchen stared at the private chat status and it took a few seconds before there was a ‘read and unread’ notification.
“Oh, that’s a loose piece, not a set.”
“We’re fighting monsters. What dungeon are you guys doing?”
“By the way, do you want any class skill books?”
“If you want, we’ll meet again after we exit the dungeon.”
Lin Bai seemed to be in a hurry, panting as he replied. It took him a few tries to send a message.
Shangguan Mengchen listened carefully and heard the roars of monsters. She remembered that they were the monsters in front of the Level 2 dungeon boss, Blood Wolf.
“It’s not Lin Bai. He’s still fighting the small monsters in front,” Shangguan Mengchen reported to her teammates in a conflicted tone, then said, “Lin Bai should be playing solo mode. He obtained some class skill books, do you guys want them?”
“I want it!” Jin Meng immediately raised her hand.
Then, she opened her friend list and made a promise to Lin Bai. “As long as it’s a hunter’s item, be it equipment or skill book, keep it for me. Money is not a problem.”
There were warriors in the team too, so they couldn’t give Lin Bai the items they got.
However, the warrior, Zhang Yunqian, smiled and said, “I can take it with me as a dowry.”
The girls all laughed.
In the dungeon, Lin Bai held a longsword and was fighting. The Frost Dragon didn’t kill two mobs and left them for him.
Jin Meng’s private voice message came in. Lin Bai thought about it and realized that it made sense. The school belle team was full of rich girls from all walks of life. If he had something he didn’t need, he could sell it to them.
“Alright, I’ll leave the things for you,” Lin Bai said as he looked at his bag.
He had just killed the Level 2 dungeon’s gatekeeper boss and received two skill books.
Stealth (purple-tier): Assassin’s special skill. Invisible in the endless darkness, burst out 10 times combat power, and has a stun effect for five seconds.
Resurrection (purple-tier): priest-only skill, upgradeable. Current resurrection limit: 1 day.
[Stealth] was a skill that assassins had to master, but it could only be dropped from dungeons. It was said that less than 15% of assassins in the world knew [Stealth].
The Resurrection spell was even more powerful, but it was usually one of the basic skills of the priest class. Moreover, the resurrection time limit was very short, usually within 10 minutes.
However, some of the upgradable Resurrection spells dropped by dungeons could be upgraded with the small number of skill points obtained after leaving the novice village. When they reached the maximum level, there would be no cooldown for the skills, which meant that they could resurrect others infinitely.
The purple-tier skill book in Lin Bai’s hands could be upgraded in a certain way after it was maxed out. After it was upgraded to an orange-tier skill book, its effects would have a qualitative leap!
“But why can’t we use it? I really want an alchemist skill book,” Su Ling’er, who was squatting at the side and refining pills, said as she yawned in boredom.
As long as she couldn’t use the skill book that the boss dropped, she wouldn’t want it. She obviously wanted Lin Bai to sell it for money.
Lin Bai thought about it and decided to take a look at the Level 3 dungeon.
Just as Shangguan Mengchen and the rest were about to start fighting again, the two-faced Lin Bai sent a message, sending two skill books and two pieces of purple equipment over.
Shangguan Mengchen replied, “I want it!”
Lin Bai said, “Oh, fighting monsters? We’re going to start the boss fight. I’ll contact you in half an hour.”
“Let’s go!” Lin Bai waved his hand. “I’ll take you to a Level 3 dungeon!”
Su Ling’er was speechless.
She didn’t realize before that this guy was so good at deceiving people!
When they arrived at the Level 3 dungeon, Lin Bai started directly.
What a joke. The reward for being the first to clear the SSS-rank dungeon was so high, and the boss dropped so many good items. Why would they give it to others?
Half a minute later, the Level 3 dungeon (two-player)’s gatekeeper boss, Golden-Winged Demonic Roc, appeared in front of them.
Lin Bai didn’t look at anything else. He didn’t need to look. He looked directly at the hidden attributes.
[Guaranteed drop attribute: As the last boss of the newbie dungeon, the Golden-Winged Demonic Roc will definitely drop three skill books, any class equipment x3]
“It’s not as good as the rewards for activating the SSS mode.” Lin Bai shook his head in disappointment.
It was time to go to the high-level dungeon as soon as possible. Opening the SSS-rank record of the high-level dungeon would give a rare reward.
After waiting for twenty minutes, the Frost Dragon made its first move and took more than 60% of the Roc’s HP.
Before the Frost Dragon could attack a second time, The Alchemist Paralysis Set skill showed its effect.
3 seconds of stun!
Soon after, the basic skill [Transposition] was a success.
The Golden-Winged Demonic Roc was immediately switched to face the Frost Dragon.
[Strangle]!
The Frost Dragon wrapped itself around the Golden-Winged Demonic Roc and used the eleventh skill Lin Bai had given it to kill it!
[Global announcement: Azure City’s warrior ** (captain) and alchemist *** (party member) have passed the ‘Level 3 dungeon (two-player)’ and have reached the SSS-rank clearance standard. This is a global announcement and an SSS-level clearance reward.]
The entire world was completely speechless!
