Chapter 28: Dynasty Guild, Goblin King Ring
Lin Moyu sat meditating, with a skeleton warrior guarding him.
Over a hundred people were at the dungeon entrance, but none dared approach Lin Moyu.
Mainly because Lin Moyu’s skeleton warrior was too frightening.
One glance was enough to make people feel terrified.
This was good, as no one would disturb him.
Lin Moyu was waiting for the cooldown time to pass, so he could enter the dungeon again in 12 hours.
His spirit power gradually recovered during meditation.
By the next dungeon entry, he could summon 4 more skeleton warriors.
As night fell, Lin Moyu ended his meditation, his spirit power almost fully recovered.
Bonfires appeared at the dungeon entrance, with many people roasting meat around them.
The aroma of meat filled the air, becoming more intense with added seasonings.
These people, experienced in the wilderness, were well-prepared.
Unlike Lin Moyu, who only brought sweet potatoes when he left home.
His stomach protested, and Lin Moyu reached for his sweet potatoes.
Realizing they were gone, he remembered giving them all to Ning Yiyi.
Thinking of Ning Yiyi’s mischievous and cute demeanor, Lin Moyu’s lips curled into a slight smile.
He took out buns instead and started eating them one by one.
"Brother, want to come over and eat with us?" someone called out to Lin Moyu. They were roasting some unknown meat that smelled delicious.
It was a young man in his early 20s.
Judging by his attire, he seemed to be a support class.
Lin Moyu shook his head slightly, politely declining the offer.
The young man didn’t insist and continued eating his roasted meat.
"Wang Yi, why did you call him over?"
"Yeah, he’s just a weirdo. He hasn’t spoken since he arrived here."
"And that undead summon beside him is a bit scary."
The young man named Wang Yi had a different view, "I think he’s normal, just doesn’t like talking."
"Besides, look at him. Although he doesn’t talk, he’s never bothered anyone either."
"I think he’s actually not as difficult to get along with as you think."
Wang Yi cut a large piece of roasted meat onto a plate and walked to Lin Moyu, "Brother, have some meat. You can’t just eat buns."
Lin Moyu looked at him but didn’t speak.
Wang Yi put on a friendly smile, placed the plate in front of Lin Moyu, and left.
Under Detection, the roasted meat showed no problems.
Lin Moyu slowly picked up the meat and took a bite.
The roasted meat tasted good, very fragrant.
Nearby, Wang Yi raised a piece of meat towards Lin Moyu, his face bearing a sunny smile.
At that moment, Lin Moyu felt his smile somewhat resembled Gao Yang’s.
After filling his stomach, Lin Moyu entered meditation again.
With the skeleton warrior beside him, he didn’t need to worry about safety.
The 12-hour dungeon cooldown finally passed, and Lin Moyu’s spirit power was fully restored.
"This time, I should be able to reach level 13," he thought.
He stood up and saw the dungeon entrance crowded with people.
Two groups seemed to be in confrontation.
One group stood at the dungeon entrance, completely blocking it and preventing others from approaching.
They wore uniform clothing and held fine weapons, looking like an army.
The other group consisted of those who were originally outside the dungeon.
Although greater in number, they looked disorganized and lacked the imposing presence of their opponents.
"Your Dynasty Guild is too overbearing!"
"Why won’t you let us enter the dungeon?"
"Yeah, why? The dungeon doesn’t belong to you."
"Our entering the dungeon won’t affect you."
Many people raised protests.
A mage with a staff stepped out from the Dynasty Guild, "Our vice guild leader is completing a task in the dungeon. Until he finishes, none of you can enter."
"On what grounds!"
"The Dynasty Guild is too domineering!"
The career professionals protested but didn’t dare to take action.
Mainly because the Dynasty Guild was too strong, and they didn’t dare provoke them.
Wang Yi was among the protesters, his sunny smile gone, replaced by anger.
Lin Moyu walked over to Wang Yi’s side, "What’s wrong?"
Wang Yi was surprised to hear Lin Moyu speak.
Amidst his surprise, Wang Yi whispered, "The Dynasty Guild’s vice leader is doing a task in the dungeon and won’t let us in."
Lin Moyu’s eyes showed confusion.
What task required sealing off the dungeon?
Wang Yi noticed Lin Moyu’s puzzlement and explained, "It’s like this: they need the Goblin King’s crystal core. This core has a low drop rate, only available in Nightmare difficulty, and drops only once every 100 days."
"You must have seen this task at the Exchange, right? It was actually posted by the Dynasty Guild."
"But no one has completed it yet."
"It’s laughable, really. The Goblin King’s crystal core is no ordinary core, worth at least 300,000 gold coins. They want to buy it for just 100,000. Who would sell to them?"
"Today marks exactly 100 days since the last drop, so the Dynasty Guild is taking action themselves."
What a coincidence.
The ’Goblin King’s Crystal Core’ in Lin Moyu’s storage space gleamed like a ruby.
The Dynasty Guild would surely return empty-handed this time.
Originally, Lin Moyu had planned to sell the Goblin King’s crystal core for 100,000 gold coins when he returned in a few days.
Now, hearing Wang Yi’s explanation, it was clear the Goblin King’s crystal core was no ordinary item.
"What’s it for?" Lin Moyu asked softly.
"The Goblin King’s crystal core can be processed by alchemists into the Goblin King Ring."
"The Goblin King Ring adds 10 to all attributes, increases all skills by 1 level, can be used at level 15, and is called the strongest accessory below level 40."
Such powerful attributes were indeed impressive.
Especially the all-skill increase by 1 level, which was godlike for novice career professionals.
Wang Yi continued, "It’s said the Dynasty Guild’s vice leader wants to apply for Summer Capital University, so he’s determined to get this equipment."
"The Dynasty Guild doesn’t lack alchemists, and they’ve prepared all other materials. Now they just need the Goblin King’s crystal core."
Understanding the situation, Lin Moyu smiled slightly and walked towards the dungeon entrance.
He didn’t care about the Dynasty Guild; interfering with his leveling was unacceptable.
