Chapter 204: Run It a Few More Times, I’ll Give You a Discount
In the White God’s courtyard.
Ning Tairan glared at Lin Moyu with an unfriendly expression.
The stare made Lin Moyu very uncomfortable.
Being looked at so unfavorably by a god-level expert would make anyone uneasy.
Bai Yiyuan smiled and said, "Don’t mind him, he’s just like that."
"What brings you here?"
"You upgraded the [Fire God Palace] dungeon, right?"
Lin Moyu nodded and took out the Fire Crystal Fragment, Fire God Key, and Fire God Flower.
"Teacher, please take a look at these."
The Fire God Key and Fire God Flower were soul-bound, so Lin Moyu couldn’t hand them over, only let them look.
Bai Yiyuan examined them carefully. "Fire Crystal..."
Meng Anwen also opened his eyes to look, and Ning Tairan shifted his attention to the Fire Crystal as well.
Meng Anwen suddenly smiled lightly. "So that’s how it is. The legend is true, but not completely."
Lin Moyu didn’t quite understand, not knowing what legend they meant.
Bai Yiyuan had also figured it out. "The outside world’s legend says combining the five elemental fragments will bring unimaginable benefits."
"Actually, the truth is that combining the five elemental fragments can obtain an Elemental God Stone."
"The Elemental God Stone has a chance of triggering a second career ascension during the third transition. You should know that high-level legendary career holders need to go through two career ascensions."
"The second career ascension is extremely difficult."
"Though we have many treasures and methods, the chances are still very low."
"Legend has it the Elemental God Stone can increase the probability of the second career ascension to about 30%."
Lin Moyu was shocked.
If true, that would indeed be an extraordinary item.
But such an item would naturally be extremely difficult to obtain.
After hearing Bai Yiyuan’s explanation, he understood.
The final lightning and light element dungeons were very hard to find.
And the legend of the Elemental God Stone was spread by a career holder from long, long ago.
It was said he completed two career ascensions.
The time was too distant to verify.
Ning Tairan suddenly spoke, "You should run it a few more times, get more Fire Crystal Fragments."
Lin Moyu was stunned, then immediately understood Ning Tairan’s meaning.
"Don’t worry Elder Ning, I’ll get a Fire Crystal for Yiyi."
Seeing Lin Moyu so agreeable, his expression improved slightly.
Bai Yiyuan then turned his attention to the Fire God Key and Fire God Flower in Lin Moyu’s hand.
After carefully examining them, they all showed surprised expressions.
"So there’s this twist." Bai Yiyuan exclaimed.
Meng Anwen said calmly, "Indeed unexpected. Where would the true Fire God Temple be?"
Ning Tairan stroked his beard. "I’m curious how strong the Fire God actually is."
Bai Yiyuan said, "Keep these things. You may need them in the future."
This meant they weren’t useful now.
As for whether they’d be useful later, even they didn’t know.
After all, even god-level experts were human and couldn’t know everything.
Lin Moyu wasn’t disappointed. Knowing the use of the Fire Crystal was enough.
He decided to run [Fire God Palace] a few more times, at least to gather three complete Fire Crystals.
One each for himself, his sister, and Ning Yiyi.
Even if a Fire Crystal Fragment dropped every time, he’d need to run it at least 15 times.
Lin Moyu meditated in the White God’s courtyard for a while, recovering his spent spirit power.
He also summoned 6 more skeleton warriors, replenishing them to 160.
Two hours later, the skeletons in his summoning space had fully recovered.
Lin Moyu said goodbye to Bai Yiyuan and the others, returning to the Dungeon Hall.
Looking at the [Fire God Palace] dungeon, Lin Moyu spent points to reset the dungeon cooldown.
The Hell difficulty entry fee had become very expensive.
"Huh? Why does resetting the dungeon only cost 500 points?"
"And entering only costs 100 points now."
After resetting the dungeon, seeing the prompt, Lin Moyu was confused, not knowing what had happened.
He checked other dungeons and found no changes.
They cost the same as before.
Only the [Fire God Palace] dungeon had become especially cheap.
The entry fee and reset cost were both 90% off.
Needless to say, this was a privilege Ning Tairan had opened for Lin Moyu.
After all, he was farming Fire Crystals for his precious granddaughter, and Lin Moyu might be family in the future, so naturally some conveniences should be provided.
But he didn’t tell Lin Moyu, and wouldn’t say anything in the future either.
Lin Moyu didn’t understand but didn’t worry about it. Being cheaper was a good thing.
With extra points, he could buy some other things.
Earlier when he set the new dungeon record, he received a 10,000 point reward and 10 contribution points.
He had also received points and contribution rewards from the university for winning the team and individual championships in the Career Holder Tournament.
Now he had 550,000 points and 500 contribution points.
Suddenly the dungeon vortex shook, and a group of people appeared outside.
These people were covered in flames, looking very disheveled.
As soon as they came out, healers began rapidly healing.
Bai Li Sheng’s group had retreated from the dungeon in a miserable state.
Their dungeon run had ended in failure.
The Hell difficulty [Fire God Palace] was far harder than Nightmare.
Not only were the monsters stronger, but the fire elemental burning was also much more intense.
The four healers in the team took turns healing, under immense pressure.
Every step forward was extremely difficult.
After struggling for two hours, they finally retreated in defeat.
Bai Li Sheng’s face looked very unpleasant.
He hadn’t expected to fail despite such thorough preparations.
With such high difficulty, Bai Li Sheng believed no other team could clear it.
"Excuse me, let me through. I need to enter the dungeon!"
Bai Li Sheng’s group had just stumbled out of the dungeon, blocking Lin Moyu’s way.
"What’s the rush? Go to another dungeon." Bai Li Sheng was in a very bad mood, his attitude quite rude.
Not only because of his own failure, but also because Lin Moyu had succeeded.
This again proved he was far inferior to Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu looked at Bai Li Sheng. "Are you itching for trouble again?"
Anger rose in Bai Li Sheng. "What did you say?"
He frowned and looked over angrily.
When he saw Lin Moyu, his expression immediately changed.
"It’s you!"
His eyes held hatred, but also fear.
The fear came from Bai Yiyuan. He still remembered what happened last time.
Lin Moyu had Bai Yiyuan behind him, not someone to provoke.
"Move aside, I need to enter the dungeon," Lin Moyu said softly.
Bai Li Sheng snorted coldly, gesturing for his subordinates to make way.
They couldn’t block someone from entering a dungeon. That was the rule.
Bai Li Sheng had to obey too.
Lin Moyu chose Hell difficulty and entered the dungeon.
Bai Li Sheng said, "Use a dungeon detection talisman to see what difficulty he entered."
A subordinate immediately used a detection talisman.
"Young Principal, he chose Hell difficulty."
Bai Li Sheng’s expression changed again. "I want to see if he can clear the dungeon."
"Let’s rest outside and discuss how to tackle the dungeon."
The dungeon must be clearable, they just hadn’t grasped the method.
They walked outside the Dungeon Hall, discussing while also watching the [Fire God Palace] dungeon direction through the doors.
Bai Li Sheng didn’t quite believe Lin Moyu could solo clear the [Fire God Palace] dungeon.
How could he withstand the constant fire elemental damage in the dungeon without a healer?
This was Lin Moyu’s second time entering [Fire God Palace], feeling completely different from before.
This time it was Hell difficulty from the start, much harder than last time.
Taking a deep breath, four skeleton warriors appeared at his command.
He didn’t summon more, just four.
The four skeleton warriors immediately ran across the fire bridge at top speed, luring the Fire Elementals on the bridge towards the plaza.
Lin Moyu followed far behind, watching the four skeleton warriors turn into four balls of fire, sprinting wildly through the dungeon.
They circled the plaza, attracting all the Fire Elementals there.
The Fire Elementals were made of pure fire elements, leaving no corpses when killed.
Corpse Explosion couldn’t be used, so it wasn’t efficient.
Clearing them one by one would be very slow.
Unless he summoned large numbers of skeleton warriors.
Last time he wasted a lot of time clearing them.
You could say 2 hours of the previous record were wasted here.
The four skeleton warriors split up, each entering one of the four caves.
Though no matter which cave they entered, they’d still have to go through the entire cave system to reach the exit,
There were still a few small rooms with monsters that needed to be lured separately.
The four skeleton warriors kept running back and forth in the caves, attracting all the monsters out.
Then they ran out of the caves towards the Fire God Palace.
Lin Moyu followed behind at top speed, also running out of the caves!
