In just over half a month, ti flew by.
For almost all players, everything in the dungeon during this period was so calm it felt surreal.
Half a month ago, the gunner player Huang ngze from Xia Country and the Assassin player Luu Qiang, also from Xia Country, got in touch with each other and left the Shadow Desert and the Big Town to make a living in the bustling Ya City a thousand kiloters away, living both thrilling and comfortable days.
At this mont, they were both wearing the standard attire of this city’s elite, casually chatting and sipping coffee in a café.
"Qiang, I’m almost out of money. Let’s do another business deal today, shall we?"
With a buzz-cut and wearing sunglasses but no trench coat, Huang ngze smiled as he spoke, looking across the table at the ordinary-looking Luu Qiang.
"Did you go gambling again?"
Luu Qiang responded with frustration as soon as he heard this because he was well aware of his friend’s nature – no amount of money was ever enough.
"No, no, no! I was just experiencing life! You know, the recent days have been too boring; the natives don’t even catch us, nor do we encounter any juicy players. I just had to find so fun, so naturally, money ran out..."
Huang ngze shook his head in reply, his tone inexplicably carrying a hint of dejection.
"Haha... Safe life still doesn’t satisfy you? Do you miss the ti when we first entered the dungeon, being hunted down by a bunch of people?"
Luu Qiang felt a bit speechless. He was quite content with the current stability of the dungeon, though he wouldn’t truly relax until the dungeon ended.
"You know, I really do miss it a bit."
Unexpectedly, Huang ngze’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, his spirits instantly lifting.
"You wouldn’t believe it, I hid in a tower in the desert back then, ran into several more players and natives there – all of them were pretty capable, but I still outplayed them with my invincible skills. If I hadn’t been forcibly teleported away later, I might have wiped them all out..."
He recalled excitedly, like a veteran boasting about his glorious combat achievents, even if these achievents weren’t that long ago.
"Stop, stop... I’ve heard it a few tis already... drink your coffee!"
Luu Qiang beca a bit impatient instantly. Recently, he had heard this guy brag several tis over, with the sa stories each ti, finding it highly unoriginal.
The two of them chatted casually like this, and before long, the topic returned to the dungeon itself, discussing why the survival pressure was very imnse at the beginning of this dungeon but suddenly beca extrely easy and relaxed later on.
Huang ngze was sowhat confused about this, but didn’t really care, responding:
"Who knows what’s going on... Given the style of these supernatural gas, maybe they’re brewing sothing big, and the current relaxation is just to lull us into a false sense of security."
Luu Qiang didn’t comnt on this viewpoint, but he vaguely felt there might be sothing more going on since he had witnessed a player and a BOSS walking together amicably, indirectly saving him.
"I think it’s because there’s a hidden expert among the players, this expert resolved the conflict between the native forces and us, so we can now relax without worrying about being besieged by native forces."
Just after saying this, he rembered sothing else and continued:
"Did you hear? There’s a rumor recently in this city about a superpower being hidden in the vicinity, said that guy effortlessly solved a huge trouble, like fending off a large-scale nuclear bomb attack, and didn’t seek fa or fortune, making people unable to fathom. I highly suspect this person is the real BOSS of the dungeon and will jump out to pressure us when the dungeon is nearly over..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the previously low-spirited Huang ngze perked up instantly, responding along with the speculation:
"So, you an we might see the big BOSS and the big shot have a showdown later? Wouldn’t it be great if the big shot got killed by the big BOSS just as the dungeon ends, and we could pick up his gear and beco instantly rich..."
The two bored players continued to chat idly in the café, unaware that back at their initial entry point into this dungeon in the Shadow Desert, this so-called player expert and big BOSS achieved a crucial breakthrough.
"After half a month of relentless effort, I’ve finally broken through to Lv3 in the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill!"
At this mont, Wang Zhifan was quite excited at the top floor of the black tower. If anyone happened to be beside him, they would see blue and purple arcs of light constantly flickering on him, as if he had applied so cool special effects on himself.
But in reality, this wasn’t any deceptive illusion trick; it marked his progress in cultivating the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, signifying he had mastered the power of wind and thunder. Now, executing this lightweight skill was more efficient—his speed beca faster, and he could continuously sprint for miles without resting, representing a qualitative improvent.
Along with it, mastering the power of wind and thunder would also enhance his offensive capabilities, adding so wind and thunder attribute damage to his lee attacks.
However, expectations shouldn’t be too high in this area, as the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill is fundantally a lightweight skill, and the attack bonuses are just an added benefit.
"Going forward, the cultivation direction of this technique is to develop towards breaking Nine Heavens Gang Wind, which is quite difficult and holds no significant necessary aning to currently, so it’s ti to switch to another cultivation technique."
Having just achieved a milestone, Wang Zhifan wasted no ti considering his next step.
