Chapter 52: Dungeon Rewards and Skill Evolution Conditions

【Teleporting out of the dungeon】

【Congratulations to player Wei Wang Ren #9527 for clearing the solo Nightmare-grade dungeon — Desolate Village Records】

【We are preparing to broadcast this wonderful news across the entire server! Rejoice! You have witnessed the birth of a terribly behaved Demon King!】

【Game Rating: α】

【Main Quest Completed】

【Side Quests 1, 2, 3 Completed】

【Hidden Reward Condition Achieved — Create the Desolate Village】

【Dungeon Rewards and Hidden Rewards Have Been Distributed】

【Please Check Your Rewards Promptly】

【Dungeon Summary: From the moment you stepped out of the broken house, your path never went the right way. The solemn ancestral hall was your playground; the ritual that summoned calamity was your means of provocation; the villagers' wretched screams were the beautiful movement you composed.】

【The system did not detect any emotional fluctuations of empathy, compassion, or mercy in you. In a sense, you are the terrible Demon King who brought destruction. But by scattering sin with Lei Ting Ting's methods and saving the soul of the wrongfully killed Holy Maiden, you are also a righteous good companion!】

【Please enter the message you wish to broadcast to the entire server】

【Choose whether to remain anonymous】

Wu Wang returned to the familiar settlement space.

The settlement contents before him were somewhat unexpected.

He could actually broadcast a message to the entire server?

He could even choose between anonymous and public — this Lingzai Game is quite user-friendly.

After a moment of thought, he reached out and typed—

【The Nightmare-grade dungeon has been sitting there all along — this is free resources! Have you ever thought about it: all these years, have you been diligent running dungeons? Have you worked hard to earn items? Have you leveled up and bought equipment? Look for problems within yourselves. If you're bad, practice more — if you don't accept it, brothers, come slash me, I'm Zha Zha Hui.】

Click 【Send Anonymously】.

Phew~ what a humble and cautious speech.

Wu Wang smiled shyly.

Making a socially anxious player like himself suddenly broadcast to the entire server — he really was a bit shy and at a loss for words.

After finishing his reflections, he lowered his head to check his personal information panel for rewards.

【Player Nickname: Wei Wang Ren #9527】

【Player Level: Lv6】

【Assignable Points: 2】

【Strength: 11】

【Constitution: 12】

【Agility: 11】

【Intelligence: 11 (Fixed value, cannot be allocated)】

【Spirit: 50 (You have been resisting a certain spiritual contamination for a long time; it is tempering your spirit)】

【Charisma: 3 (Because you were regarded by the villagers in Desolate Village Records as the source of calamity, your Charisma value is dropping significantly)】

Two levels in one go — if he remembered correctly, Chen Baili was also level 6.

The other side had gone through who knows how many dungeons to reach that level, yet he had caught up in just two dungeons.

This is the confidence the Abyss God gave me!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Wang allocated the two attribute points to 【Strength】 and 【Agility】 respectively, achieving balanced development in moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic aspects.

What? You ask why there's no "virtue"?

Because he really had no morals.

In short — terrible character.

Let's check the equipment and items next.

【Fashionable Skating Shoes (Fine Quality): Equipping this item makes movement smoother and silkier, slightly increases the user's leg strength, and reduces stamina consumption】

【Equip Condition: The user has a physical leg structure and can wear shoes】

【Note: My skating shoes~ the most fashionable of the fashionable~ the most beautiful of the fashionable~ friction friction~ sliding on this smooth ground! Friction!】

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow and took it out.

It was a pair of skating shoes in a flashy pink color scheme.

He took off the cloth shoes on his feet and switched into them, clearly feeling his leg muscles grow stronger — this would probably let the double jump of 【Soaring Cloud Steps】 reach even higher each time.

He took a couple of tentative steps forward.

His expression was somewhat surprised.

"Holy crap! What kind of walking is this? Isn't it way too silky!"

Those few steps just now barely looked like walking — more like sliding on a surface with no friction, his whole body ghost-gliding several meters forward.

He hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.

No matter what game it is, Wu Wang understood very clearly — running fast is what truly counts as fast.

Continuing to look, there was also an extra prop in his backpack that looked like a doll holding a small knife — only its grotesque appearance was somewhat familiar and hard to keep a straight face about.

【Chucky the Killer Doll (Fine Quality Single-Use Consumable): Use this item to stare at a target for ten seconds; Chucky will physically hunt down the target within 12 hours, unable to be destroyed by any means during the process, until the time expires or the target shows no signs of life.】

【This item originates from the horror film — Child's Play】

【Note: I'll kill you all!】

"Before, I got the game's Hermione's flower tea, and now there's a movie prop — the composition of this Lingzai Game is a bit complicated, isn't it?" Wu Wang said with great interest, looking at the Chucky doll in his hand.

The keywords of this item were still quite subtle.

During the pursuit it can't be destroyed, which seems strong, but the hunt is limited to physical damage — so there shouldn't be situations like Kayako Sadako cursing targets through the internet cable.

If you used it in a city or some open area, this thing would be garbage.

But if you put someone in some kind of enclosed environment and had them face twelve hours of non-stop pursuit, it could deliver value beyond top-tier.

"Mm… looks like the first two's luck is still decent, hope the last one doesn't disappoint me." Wu Wang took out the final reward from the instance's main quest.

This was the reward he was most looking forward to.

【Skill Evolution Guidance Item】!

What came out looked like a black fountain pen.

On it was clearly written—

【Hold the pen in your right hand, silently recite in your heart the name of a skill that can evolve, and it will give you the method of evolution. Remember: after use you must formally say goodbye to this pen, or it will bring disaster.】

【Note: Pen spirit, pen spirit, if you are here, please give me a sign.】

"?"

Bro, you said you'd give evolution guidance, and the result is summoning a pen spirit?

You really know how to exploit loopholes!

Though he was grumbling and roasting it in his heart, his hands were still very honestly gripping the pen barrel, silently reciting the name 【Soaring Cloud Steps】 in his mind.

The next second, the fountain pen slowly moved.

On the back of Wu Wang's hand it wrote a string of text in bright red ink—

【Use the skill to displace more than thirty thousand steps within a single instance to evolve it.】

"Are skill evolutions all this twisted?" Wu Wang's mouth twitched, a little helpless.

Normal players who wanted to meet this condition to evolve a skill probably wouldn't even have the energy to do the instance's main quest, busy jumping around all day long.

After all, normal people need rest.

The drain on stamina, the loss of mental energy, the body's fatigue and drowsiness would all waste instance time.

Too bad, he didn't need that.

Then in the next instance he'd have to evolve 【Soaring Cloud Steps】 first.

Next came the hidden reward.

After looking through all this stuff, he'd have to go back to reality to handle and confirm some questions he'd been curious about for a long time.

For example—does Yin Yuan Village really exist?

He only needed to ask Second Sister about the mountain range she'd gone to back then, or investigate clearly the plane ticket she'd booked and where she'd headed, and he'd surely be able to follow the trail and find that Shenshan.

Going there once in reality and the truth would come out!

I really want to see whether the power of the Spirit Disaster Game can really be this bizarre? That it can actually affect the past!

If nothing unexpected happens, that unlucky Yin Yuan great god should still be buried in the empty ground of the ancestral hall, right…
