Chapter 77: Unbreakable for a Hundred Years
Over a hundred pairs of eyes in the hall couldn’t believe the new record that appeared.
The sound of people swallowing could be heard.
Someone pointed at the new record on the light screen with an incredulous expression.
"Is this possible?"
"One person soloed a Nightmare dungeon."
"Even though it’s only a level 17 low-level dungeon, it shouldn’t be possible to solo."
"That’s not even the key point. The crucial thing is the time. He only took 50 minutes, a full 9 minutes faster than the previous record."
"How did he do it?"
"This Lin Moyu’s career is Necromancer. What career is that? I’ve never heard of it."
Everyone shook their heads.
"I haven’t heard of it either, must be a new career."
"Yes, definitely a new career. Never heard of this career before."
"Could it be a legendary career?"
Amidst the discussions, Lin Moyu appeared at the dungeon entrance.
"He’s out, he’s out!"
"Classmate, how did you do it?"
"Some people can solo Nightmare dungeons, but how did you both solo and break the record?"
"Expert, can you carry me?"
...
Lin Moyu was surrounded by a crowd, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
He looked up and saw the new record he created, understanding what happened.
Then he chose to pay points to remove the cooldown.
The next second, Lin Moyu entered the dungeon again.
"He went in again."
"Another solo run?"
"He’s soloing again? Isn’t he tired?"
"Let’s not crowd around him, we might scare him. After all, he’s only level 17."
"Right, someone here is level 30 and was just calling him expert and begging to be carried... have some shame."
Amidst the discussions, most of the crowd finally dispersed.
Shu Han was also in the crowd, her face full of shock that wouldn’t fade.
"He’s really amazing."
"Could it be true that he got 50 contribution points in the trial?"
Just as he entered the dungeon, Lin Moyu’s communicator vibrated.
A message came in.
[Created new record for Mutant Forest dungeon, received 1000 points, 5 contribution points. (Can only be obtained once)]
Lin Moyu was slightly stunned. So creating a new dungeon record not only gave point rewards, but also contribution points.
Too bad it could only be obtained once.
But this made sense, otherwise there would be a loophole to exploit.
Experienced teams could easily control the time, improving by a few seconds each time.
Then they could keep creating new records and farm large amounts of contribution points.
The university naturally wouldn’t leave such a loophole.
Regardless, getting contribution points was an unexpected bonus.
Lin Moyu just wanted to level up, purely wanted to level up.
The skeleton warriors had already charged out.
108 skeleton warriors again swept through the fierce beasts in the forest like tigers among sheep.
With the experience from last time, there was no getting lost this time, and the speed was faster.
In just over 20 minutes, Lin Moyu had already reached the end of the dungeon.
The skeleton warriors swarmed up, and in the blink of an eye there were four corpses by the pond.
A water column shot up, and the final boss Mutant Dragon Turtle crawled out of the pond.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
With four consecutive explosions, the Mutant Dragon Turtle died before it could act.
Accompanied by a large amount of water splashing into the sky, the pond instantly became shallower.
A large pit appeared on the ground, and the Mutant Dragon Turtle was badly injured by the explosions.
"Flip it over."
The skeleton warriors had long been prepared and swarmed up.
No one would ever use this kind of tactic.
No career could have so many summons.
Given the Mutant Dragon Turtle’s size and weight, flipping it over should be impossible.
The Mutant Dragon Turtle let out a miserable cry as it was flipped onto its back, exposing its weakest defense.
From this moment, its fate was sealed.
Actually, from the moment it crawled out of the pond, its fate was sealed.
The skeleton warriors swarmed up, all using skills.
Skill: Berserk Strike!
Blades glowing red fell on its belly.
Blood gushed out like a fountain.
It was much smoother than last time. First stunned by four Corpse Explosions, then suffering the full force of the skeleton warriors’ attacks.
In just one minute, the Mutant Dragon Turtle was dead.
[Killed Mutant Dragon Turtle, Experience +150000]
[Obtained Bronze-grade weapon: Dragon Turtle Longbow]
[Obtained Low-grade Monster Crystal Core]
[Dragon Turtle Longbow: Bronze-grade, Agility +40, Bow skill power +6%, usable after level 12]
The bells rang again in the Dungeon Hall.
People who had just left the Dungeon Hall not long ago ran back.
"What’s going on? Another new record?"
"It’s the Mutant Forest again, the score improved again?"
"Wow, this score is insane!"
"I’m going to faint. Can someone tell me this isn’t real, this score is impossible."
The new record time was fixed at 24 minutes 32 seconds.
Not only did it break the 30-minute barrier, it even surpassed 25 minutes.
The previous record that stood for over 3 years was 58 minutes.
And that was set by a team of five with near-perfect composition.
Unlike Lin Moyu, who single-handedly created a record others could hardly imagine.
Breaking an existing record was very difficult.
Otherwise the old record wouldn’t have stood for over 3 years.
"I bet no one will break this record for a hundred years."
"What hundred years? I say 500 years and it still might not be broken."
"This leaves no room for others at all."
"Do you think he’ll go clear other dungeons and create new records?"
"Very likely. I just can’t figure out how he dealt with that final boss turtle in the Mutant Forest dungeon. It was hard as anything."
"That turtle had ridiculously high constitution, nearly immune to physical attacks. Only elemental attacks could damage it."
"His career is Necromancer, it’s normal to have elemental attacks. But it’s too fast. When I ran this dungeon before, just the turtle took an hour."
"I really don’t know how he did it. Too amazing."
At this moment, Lin Moyu’s whole body was glowing. As the Mutant Dragon Turtle fell, Lin Moyu finally leveled up.
He reached level 18.
From when he transitioned careers until now, it hadn’t even been half a month.
He had gone from level 1 to level 18.
The speed was astonishing.
His attributes increased again, with the skeleton warriors’ four attributes now reaching 5800.
Through these two dungeon experiences, Lin Moyu also saw the flaws of the skeleton warriors.
Though their physical attacks were very powerful, they were too singular.
If encountering monsters with extremely high physical defense, the skeleton warriors’ effectiveness would be greatly reduced, even becoming useless.
The Soul Fire skill could make up for this deficiency, but it wasn’t efficient enough against bosses and was limited by total spirit.
"Necromancer shouldn’t only have skeleton warriors."
"Keep leveling up. When I reach level 20, I’ll buy some skill scrolls and see if I can get new skills."
Before level 20, he didn’t plan to use skill scrolls again.
Even if there were still level 10 skills, the success rate of skill scrolls would be greatly reduced.
It was better to wait until level 20 and use a batch together.
His career was special, unable to obtain skills through other methods like other careers.
Skill scrolls were his only choice.
Lin Moyu didn’t even know how many skills he had, being the first and only Necromancer.
There wasn’t even a reference point.
So he could only use as many skill scrolls as possible, striving to obtain all skills.
Junior scrolls were still okay, costing 100,000 each which wasn’t too expensive.
But intermediate skill scrolls jumped to 10 million each, which was a bit scary.
"Take it one step at a time, don’t think too much."
Lin Moyu appeared outside the dungeon.
He found himself surrounded again.
But this time everyone was calmer than before.
"Classmate, can you reveal how you killed the Mutant Dragon Turtle?"
"Yeah classmate, why were you able to clear it so fast? Are there any tricks? Please share."
Many people humbly asked Lin Moyu for guidance.
Lin Moyu said calmly, "Just flip it over."
Flip it over?
Everyone had a sudden realization.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh right, why didn’t I think of that!"
"That old turtle, its shell is hard but its belly is still soft."
"Right, just flip it over and it’s done."
"Classmate Lin Moyu is really talented, to think of such a good method."
Amidst the discussions, Lin Moyu had already walked to the next dungeon.
Level 20 dungeon: Spider’s Nest.
Entry conditions were levels 18 to 22.
Minimum level 18 to enter, maximum not exceeding level 22.
