Chapter 216: Desert Fruit, Serendipity but Not Seekable
Although Ning Tairan had driven away Lin Moyu, he still gave him the green light. The requirements for entering the Desert Tyrant’s Desert changed to 100 points, and resetting the instance changed to 200 points.
Only 300 points were needed for one entry.
Lin Moyu came this time just to find the Desert Fruit, not for leveling up or clearing instances.
So he didn’t consider mass monster killing.
Only 10 skeleton warriors were used to pave the way ahead.
And they didn’t get too close to the oasis, keeping a certain distance.
Wearing the Hell Watchtower set, compared to the Silver-level mental set, the Hell Watchtower set was much stronger.
[Hell Watchtower Magic Sword (one of the Watchtower sets): Gold-level weapon, all attributes +500, mage skills amplification 50%, usable at level 30 or above]
[Hell Watchtower Magic Robe (one of the Watchtower sets): Gold-level armor, all attributes +300, mage skills consumption reduced by 20%, usable at level 30 or above]
[Hell Watchtower Ring (one of the Watchtower sets): Gold-level jewelry, all attributes +100, fatigue recovery speed amplification 30%, usable at level 30 or above]
[Hell Watchtower Bracelet (one of the Watchtower sets): Gold-level jewelry, all attributes +200, mental recovery speed increased by 30%, usable at level 30 or above]
[Hell Watchtower Necklace (one of the Watchtower sets): Gold-level jewelry, all attributes +400, probability of being controlled reduced by 20%, usable at level 30 or above]
[Set attribute: all attributes +1000, mage skills consumption reduced by 25%, mage skills amplification 25%.]
The five pieces of equipment formed a set, and the attributes of the five pieces of equipment were added together, increasing all attributes by 1500, plus an additional 1000 all attributes from the set.
The full set of equipment increased all attributes by 2500.
There was also the title of Dragon Race War King, adding 500 attributes.
Lin Moyu’s attributes increased by 3000 points in total.
Unfortunately, the increase in mage skills amplification from the equipment was ineffective for Lin Moyu.
Only the attribute of reducing skill consumption by 50% in the title was effective for Lin Moyu.
But even so, Lin Moyu’s stamina, endurance, and running speed had greatly increased.
The distance that originally took over an hour to run, now only took less than 40 minutes.
Seeing that there were no Desert Fruits hanging on the cactus, Lin Moyu decisively chose to exit the instance.
Reset the instance and enter again.
Second time... third time...
Lin Moyu repeatedly entered the instance, searching for Desert Fruits.
The repeated actions attracted a lot of attention.
Some people didn’t understand, but smart people understood right away.
"Lin Dalo is looking for Desert Fruits."
"It’s indeed great to cultivate skills with Desert Fruits, but with this repeated entry and resetting the instance, how many points will it cost?"
"Ten thousand points. Maybe only Lin Dalo has such a rich capital."
"I wouldn’t do it. It’s not easy to earn so many points. I’d rather slowly cultivate skills."
"So, this is the difference between you and Dalo."
Little did they know, Ning Tairan gave Lin Moyu the green light.
Lin Moyu only needed 300 points each time.
But even if it was 2500 points each time, Lin Moyu would still choose this way.
Improving skills little by little was too slow.
Especially after experiencing the convenience brought by Desert Fruits, he wouldn’t consider it.
Even the military’s skill training ground couldn’t compare to the joy of Desert Fruits.
Repeated attempts, repeated disappointments.
Lin Moyu once again experienced the meaning of serendipity but not seekable.
Last time, when he took Xia Xue and the others on a mission, it was like his luck exploded, encountering one.
Now, his luck had run out, no matter how hard he tried.
Lin Moyu didn’t give up, until the thirteenth time, he finally encountered Desert Fruits again.
Thirteen times, each time over 40 minutes, running for almost 8 hours.
There was almost no time to rest in between, constantly pushing forward.
Fortunately, Desert Fruits appeared.
Let the skeleton warriors clear out the nearby ant larvae, Lin Moyu began to cultivate skills.
Another skill was Bone Sharp Fang.
Among the three newly awakened active skills, summoning the Lich General was the most difficult, so he left it for last.
Start with the simplest.
Bone Sharp Fang flew out from his fingertips.
In the instant it left his fingertips, the pale light dispersed into 40 bone sharp fangs, whistling towards the mountain where the ant cave was located.
Bone Sharp Fang landed on the mountain, instantly erupting into a series of rumblings.
Rocks shattered and rolled down.
Enhanced by talent 40 times, even at level 1, the power was not small.
Lin Moyu immediately triggered Bone Sharp Fang ten times.
The entire mountain was smashed into a large pit.
The falling rocks also piled up into a new small mountain on the ground.
Then Bone Sharp Fang hit the small mountain again, and it exploded, turning into debris.
The level 1 Bone Sharp Fang had very low consumption, only 10 mental power.
After being enhanced by the title effect, the consumption was halved.
Only 5 mental power was needed each time.
With Lin Moyu’s current high mental power of 7000, he could cast it over a thousand times.
Every time Lin Moyu’s mental power was depleted by more than half, he chose to eat a Desert Fruit.
The rumbling continued incessantly.
Bone Sharp Fang quickly rose to level 2.
At level 2, the number of Bone Sharp Fangs doubled from 40 to 80, and the power became stronger.
Lin Moyu had given up on targeting the mountain.
Now, the large falling rocks had blocked the entrance of the ant cave.
Continuing like this, the mountain might collapse.
Rows of brilliant white Bone Sharp Fangs rushed into the sky, bursting into dazzling light.
If you didn’t look carefully, the pale Bone Sharp Fangs looked somewhat similar to the divine white light.
But their properties were completely opposite.
There was no warmth, only chilling coldness.
As each Desert Fruit was consumed, the skill level rapidly increased.
The consumption also gradually increased.
When it reached level 10, the skill consumption had reached 50 points.
Even halved, it still required 25 mental power.
The consumption speed of Desert Fruits also increased instantly.
Outside the instance, seeing Lin Moyu not coming out for a long time, everyone guessed that Lin Moyu had found Desert Fruits.
"Hard work won’t be in vain. I counted, Lin Dalo entered and exited exactly thirteen times before encountering Desert Fruits."
"Over 30,000 points for one Desert Fruit, I wonder if it’s worth it."
"For Lin Dalo, it’s definitely worth it. I just wonder what new skills he has awakened again, he must be even stronger than before."
"I think so too."
Lin Moyu’s pursuit of Desert Fruits to cultivate skills quickly spread.
In the Bai Li Academy, Bai Li Sheng’s teeth itched with hatred.
He cursed Lin Moyu through gritted teeth.
"Some professions get weaker as they progress, I hope you’re one of them."
"One day, I’ll make you regret it!"
Now, the person who hated Lin Moyu the most in the academy was Bai Li Sheng.
Lin Moyu not only snatched Ning Yi Yi away, but also made him lose face.
He couldn’t swallow this pride cultivated since childhood.
Others who received the news included someone else.
Shu Han and a middle-aged man sat face to face, with a crystal of flame the size of an egg on the table.
The flame crystal emitted a beautiful light, far more dazzling than a ruby.
Shu Han smiled gently, "Brother, this is the legendary Elemental Fragment. In fact, it’s not called an Elemental Fragment, it should be a Flame Fragment dropped in the Fire God’s Palace."
"Five Flame Fragments can form a Flame Crystal."
The middle-aged man picked up the Flame Crystal and examined it carefully.
"Legends are always different, but the Flame Crystal is indeed good. It can also be used to form Elemental Divine Stones."
"It’s a pity that other elemental crystals are not easy to obtain. This thing can’t be bought with money."
"Where did you get it from, Han Han?"
Shu Han smiled softly, "A friend gave it to me. Don’t worry about it. If I have the chance, I’ll try to get other elemental crystals."
She reached out her little hand, "Brother, give me some Fatigue Potion."
The middle-aged man smiled, "Alright, alright, I won’t ask why you need Fatigue Potion."
"Since you asked, give it to me!" Shu Han coaxed.
"Okay, okay, okay. Since Han Han asked, how can I not give it to you?" The middle-aged man’s eyes showed indulgence, showing that he doted on Shu Han.
...
In the instance, there were few Desert Fruits left.
A white light flashed at Lin Moyu’s fingertips.
Skill: Bone Sharp Fang.
A white light burst in front of him, sending 1200 bone sharp fangs whistling into the sky.
Exploding into fireworks in the air.
After consuming almost all of the Desert Fruits, he finally leveled Bone Sharp Fang to level 30.
From then on, every time he leveled up, Bone Sharp Fang would also level up accordingly.
At level 30, Bone Sharp Fang erupted with 1200 sharp fangs each time, with much greater power than at level 1.
Lin Moyu felt that the power of this skill was much stronger than that of the same level Skeleton Mage.
Moreover, it was an active group attack skill, filling in one of his shortcomings once again.
With single-target active attack skill Soul Flame and group attack Bone Sharp Fang, even without skeletons, he had confidence.
Looking at the remaining two or three Desert Fruits.
A red light flashed in Lin Moyu’s palm.
The sky suddenly turned dark red.
Skill: Damage Curse!
The red light of the Damage Curse was even deeper, like solidified blood red.
Red enough to make people feel uneasy.
He began to cultivate the second skill.
